Many of the houses in the last column of the return were
not let in lodgings or occupied by members of more than one
family when the other houses in the same streets were
registered, between the years 1885-89. Inspections made in
1895 showed that many of the non-registered houses were at
that time so occupied, and a report to that effect was made to
the Sanitary Committee. The Committee, however, decided
not to register any more houses pending the confirmation by
the Local Government Board of the proposed new bye-laws;
and, as already stated, no houses have been registered since
the passing of the Public Health (London) Act, 1891.
In the fourth monthly report for 1895, this subject was
fully dealt with (pp. 50—63 inclusive), and I submitted " a
list of some of the principal streets, the houses in which, so
far as they are let in lodgings or occupied by members of
more than one family, would appear to be proper to be
registered," as follows :—
(1) North District.—Branstone Street,Rackham Street,
Raymede Street, Swinbrook Road, Tottenham
Street, Treverton Street, and Wheatstone Road.
(2) North-east District.—All Saints' Road, Bucking-
ham Terrace, Dulford Street, Lonsdale Road, St.
George's Road, Talbot Grove, and Western Terrace.
(3) North-west District.—Blechynden Street (north
of Bramley Road), Hurstway Street, Manchester
Street, Royal Crescent Mews, St. James's Place,
Testerton Street, Tobin Street, and Walmer Road
(south of Lancaster Road).
(4) South-east District.—Chapel Place, Garden Row,
Lloyd's Place, Middle Street, New Street, and
Rutland Street.
(5) South-west District.—Barker Street, Emma Place,
Holmes Place, Kensington Buildings, Park Terrace,
and Providence Terrace.
No action was taken upon the report.
