Verminous Rooms.
Verminous rooms are still brought to the notice of owners upon the
" Intimations " which are followed, if necessary, by " Statutory Notices,"
more especially as there are generally other defects upon the premises,
and certainly verminous premises are " in such a state as to be a nuisance
to health," and owners, if they do not already know, are informed when
defects are being dealt with under the Public Health (London) Act, 1891,
that the vermin must be got rid of, otherwise the London County Council
(General Powers) Acts, will be brought into operation.
* The London County Council (General Powers) Act), 1922, came into operation
20th July, 1922. The Act repeals sections 19, 20, 21, sub-section (1) of section 24, and
definition of " house " in section 26 of the 1904 Act. The word " vermin " includes
bugs, fleas, lice and itch-mites, their eggs, larva; and pupa'.
