Housing, Town Planning, etc., Act, 1909, came into force,
i.e., 3rd December, 1909.
In the cases of Murphy Street and James and Canterbury
Places, there was no evidence to show that any new contracts
as to rent, etc., had been made since December 3rd,
1909.
Trowes, Fram, Bird, Strewan, By well and Long hope
Places, together with certain houses in Monkton Street,
were also specially inspected with a view to action being
taken under the Housing, Town Planning, etc., Act, 1909,
but, though the property is old and dilapidated, its condition
was not found to be such as to warrant action being
taken under the Town Planning, etc., Act, with a view
to closure of the houses. Notices were served under the
Public Health Act for the putting of the houses into proper
order and condition.
