REPORT OF INSPECTOR FOR HOUSES LET-INLODGINGS
OR OCCUPIED BY MEMBERS OF MORE
THAN ONE FAMILY.
To the Medical Officer of Health.
Sir,—
I beg to hand you the Annual Report and detailed account
of the work carried out in the Borough of Poplar, under the ByLaws
for Houses let in Lodgings, or occupied by members of
more than one family, for the year ended 31st December, 1904.
During the period January to March, the work was carried out
by Mr. H. J. Langley, and from April to December, the work
was carried out by myself.
Registration.
Houses have been registered in several new areas, and there
are 768 on the books up to the present. The number of houses
registered during the year was 204; and re-registered 87. Constant
attention is required in keeping the Journals and Registers
up-to-date, owing to tenants moving frequently, and property
changing hands.
I am pleased to report that the clause added to the new by-laws
allowed in September last, enabling a notice to be served for the
recovery of declarations of information, proves very useful in the
work of registration.
Nuisances.
At all times when nuisances came under my notice and could
not be dealt with under the by-laws, the matter was reported to
the inspector for the district to be dealt with under the Act,
