Order for the abatement of the nuisance in 14 days, inflicted a penalty
of £1 and gave the Council £2 8s. costs.
In two further cases, upon the instructions of the Public Health
Committee, intimations were served upon the persons responsible. In
one case the owner himself took proceedings against a sub-tenant and
obtained possession. In the second case Statutory Notices were subsequently
served. The tenant has obtained a Magistrate's Order which
has to be complied with early in 1934.
Nine of the 40 cases, and also 33 cases officially recorded in the past
few years, have been abated. In one further case the overcrowded
conditions have been eased.

overcrowding is a nuisance, and should the premises again become overcrowded
the facts will be reported to the Public Health Committee.
