HOUSES LET IN LODGINGS.
The 372 registered Houses have been under inspection
during 1910, but no new houses have been registered under
the bye-laws. Experience in Lambeth goes to show that
the bye-laws do not work out in practice as well as was
anticipated when the bye-laws were framed—the powers
under the other Sections of the Public Health (London)
Act, 1891, being more easily used in connection with
keeping of houses let in lodgings in proper order and
condition. In this connection, the new Housing, Town
Planning, etc., Act, 1909 (Section 16), will be found useful.
COMMON LODGING HOUSES.
The 6 Common Lodging Houses (for men) within the
Borough of Lambeth were inspected during 1910, and no
defects were found except a dilapidated dust-bin at 108 Lambeth
Walk. This defect was made good, and the Common
Lodging Houses were again licensed by the London County
Council at the Annual Licensing Meeting held June 27th,
1910, in accordance with the requirements of Section 46 of
Part ix. of the London County Council (General Powers')
Act, 1902:—
