Council should treat any such case from lodging houses in the Borough
without charge, and that the London County Council should pay Is. per

case sent from common lodging houses inside or outside the Borough, but
having regard to the fact that the proposal made by the London County
Council had been generally adopted by other Boroughs, the Committee

lodging houses sent from adjoining Boroughs at a charge of Is. per head.
