line.—The houses in this area were dealt with individually under the Public
Health Act some years ago.
1 (c).—Part of area taut of Chalton Street.—In continuation of the history
of the Chapel Grove and Eastnor Place Improvement Schemes. The schemes
of 1898, amended in 1901, relating to these two areas were embodied in one
order by the Local Government Board, and a notice thereof published in the
" London Gazette," and the owners of every part of the area were served with
notices thereof. The Midland Railway Company having acquired the land,
petitioned against the order in December, 1905, as did also a leaseholder, and
the order of the Local Government Board sanctioning the schemes has become
"provisional."
