CUSTOMS AND INLAND REVENUE
ACTS, 1890-1.
Cap. 8, Sect. 26 (2)
REVENUE ACT, 1903.
3 Edw. 7, Cap. 46.
Application was made for relief under the above Acts in respect of
two premises in Bromley. The premises were inspected and found in
each instance to be let in two flats, and in one case each flat was sublet
with a total number of 19 persons and in the other case the lower flat
was sublet, the upper flat was not and there was a total of 14 persons.
The flats were considered to be not separately contained, as there was
only one water closet and one copper for two flats, and as the three flats
were sublet they could not be stated to be used for the sole purposes of
separate dwellings.
The bye-laws of the London County Council state that there shall be
one water closet for not less than 12 inmates in each lodging-house, and
it was considered three of these flats would come under the category of a
" lodging-house " or " occupied by members of more than one family."
The certificates were not granted.
