Additional Water Supplies to Tenemented Houses.
During the year, 1908, much attention has been paid to the
matter of providing additional water supplies on the upper floors of
tenemented houses, where such additional water supplies were found to
be necessary. In the following table I have shown the action that was
taken under Section 78 of the London County Council (General Powers)
Act. 1907.
