20/21. Prevention of and safety from fire. (Advisability of
re-introduction by the London County Council.)
25. Provision of handrails where necessary for all
staircases.
I am confident that much good will result when these bye-laws
are re-introduced, and moreover by the improvement of the living
conditions in the properties concerned, the public generally will
benefit thereby. Due to the scarcity of new accommodation, the
preservation of the existing accommodation in a reasonable state
of repair is more than ever necessary at this time.
BAKEHOUSES.—At the end of the year there were 18 (16)
"Level" and 1 (2) "underground " bakehouses in operation. One
underground bakehouse was out of use temporarily.
