Medical Officers of Health Annual Report.
(h) The number of rooms let in lodgings.
(c) The manner of use of each room.
(d) The number, age, and sex of the occupants of each sleeping
room.
(c) The christian name and surname of the lessee of each
room.
(i) The amount of rent per week.
It is apparent that amongst a constantly changing
population formed by the artizan and labouring classes
such a register would be daily requiring revision and would
be therefore practically unworkable.
If on the other hand we are desirous of only putting
the bye-laws in force in regard to the worst class of
property, we find that most of these houses are exemp[???]
from the fact of only being occupied by one family.
The sanitary work of the parish has been carried on
in a most zealous and harmonious manner by all who have
been associated with myself.
Wm. Y. ORR, M.B., C.M., D.P.H.,
Medical Officer of Health for Putney and Roehampton
