Under the L.C.C. (General Powers) Act, 1909, Section 16 enacts
as follows:—"If at any time it appears to any Sanitary Authority that
in any tenement 'house within their district sufficient and suitable
accommodation for the storage of food is not provided for the use of
each family occupying such house on the storey or one of the storeys
in which are situate the rooms or lodgings in the separate occupation
of such family, the Sanitary Authority may, if the prevision of such
accommodation is practicable, cause notice to be served on the owner
of such house, requiring him, within such reasonable time as may be
specified in the notice, to provide sufficient and suitable accommodation
for the purpose aforesaid, and any owner failing to comply with
such requirement within the period prescribed in the notice shall be
liable on summary conviction to a penalty not exceeding forty
shillings and to a daily penalty not exceeding twenty shillings:
Provided that this Section shall not apply to any tenement house used
or occupied as such before the passing of this Act.''
STABLE MANURE.
In recent years there has been a constant decrease in the amount
of stable manure in London owing to the displacement of horse by
motor traffic. Nuisance from this source is therefore very much less
than formerly, a fact which may also be due to the enforcement of the
regulations requiring periodical removal, and to the bylaw prohibiting
manure receptacles sunk below the surface of the ground.
HOUSES LET IN LODGINGS.
In the Borough of Stoke Newington, more especially in the
Southern Division, there is a considerable number of houses let in
lodgings under circumstances and conditions which render it desirable,
in the interest of public health, that they should be registered and
inspected at frequent intervals.
By the end of the year 1910, 263 premises were on the Register,
and during the year these registered premises were duly inspected by
Miss Aldridge.
