Metropolitan Sewers and Drains Bill.
The Bill was introduced into the House of Commons on the 5th
March, 1908, by Mr. Dickinson and was read a first time.
The Bill has not been brought before the present House of Commons
owing to the position of affairs at Westminster. It is a Private Member's
Bill and appears to be very questionable whether it will become law
without the co-operation of the Government for the time being. During
the last Parliament, from March, 1908, to July, 1909, the Bill was tabled
over 100 occasions without being read a second time.
The Bill is set out on page 193 in extenso.

Rothbtjry Mansions, Bow—Regranting Certificate.
In 1908 Rothbury Buildings,* Bow, were found to be in a most
insanitary condition ; there was also no proper and sufficient supply of
waterf with no adequate washing accommodation. The Public Health
and Housing Committee directed that the Board of Inland Revenue be
informed of the facts and that exemption under the Acts should no longer
exist. The Board of Inland Revenue thereupon treated the certificate
as cancelled.
At the time of writing this report the owner is carrying out extensive
work in order that certificates shall be granted.
* Now called Rothbury Mansions.
