HOUSES LET IN LODGINGS.
The Council on the 19th February considered the question of a more
equitable adjustment of the districts of the Women Sanitary Inspectors
(Houses Let in Lodgings) together with a re-arrangement of their
duties (Miss Elliott, Inspector for No. 2 District, having been appointed
Chief Woman Inspector on the 8th January). It was resolved—
(a) That the Borough be divided into two districts by a line
mencing at the boundary of the Borough at London Bridge,
passing along Borough High Street, Newington Causeway
and Walworth Road to the boundary of the Borough at
Camberwell Gate.
(b) That in future the Chief Woman Inspector be required to
undertake the inspection of all premises in the Borough
used as factories, workshops and workplaces, and to deal
with all matters iu connection therewith as required by the
Factory and Workshop Act, 1901, and that she also exercise
a general supervision over such blocks of Tenement Houses
in the Borough as the Public Health Committee may from
time to time direct, and Houses Let in Lodgings.
(c) That the two women Inspectors (Houses Let in Lodgings) be
assigned a district each for the inspection of Houses Let in
Lodgings, and such blocks of Tenement Houses in their
respective districts as the Chief Woman Inspector may
from time to time direct.
(d) That Miss M. W. Richardson be appointed to the Eastern
District and Miss E. Stewart to the Western District.
At the commencement of the year 1902, the number of houses upon
the register was 872.
These were situate in the two districts of the Borough as follows:—
In the East District 473
In the West District 399
Total 872
During the year I have at different dates represented a number of
houses as being suitable for registration as houses let in lodgings.
Of this number the Council resolved to place upon the register the
following additional houses:—
In the East District 77 houses, and in the West District 58 houses.
