Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
In Streatham inspections were made of 25 houses in Fernlea
Road, 27 in Larch Road and seven in Balham Grove, but in all it
was only necessary to make certain slight alterations so as to comply
with the By-laws.
In Selkirk Road, 13 houses were found with underground
rooms, but these were, after communication with the owner, found
on further inspection not to be used as sleeping apartments.
In Tooting, only four houses were found to have illegally
occupied underground rooms, and the use of these rooms as sleeping
rooms was discontinued on the attention of the owner being called
to the By-laws.
In Wandsworth, only three underground rooms were found
illegally occupied, but on further inspection the occupation as
sleeping rooms had been discontinued.
I have personally during the year inspected all the premises
in which my attention was called by the Inspectors before communicating
with the owners, and I am pleased to be able to report
that it was not necessary during the year to take further action.
