Occupation
of Tenants.
Rents.
Particulars are given in the Annual Report for 1926 (Vol. III, p. 191) of the
rents in excess of the normal scale charged to tenants carrying on at or from their
dwellings a profession, trade, business or occupation for profit.
The Council on 12th February, 1929, reviewed the whole position and decided
that the rents (or charges) in such cases should in future be as follows:—(i) dwellings
occupied by midwives or nurses or persons carrying on at or from such dwellings a
trade, business or occupation or a minor profession and giving public indication of
the fact—the normal rent, plus a special charge of 10s. a month for the privilege of
exhibiting a plate or advertising; (ii) dwellings occupied by ministers of religion or
social workers preferentially accommodated—a rent 2s. 6d. a week more than the
normal rent; and (iii) dwellings occupied by doctors and dentists and the like—a
remunerative rent.
Completed
estates.
The following particulars are given of matters arising during the year in connection
with completed estates or estates which had been completed so far as the
erection of dwellings by the Council was concerned.
Castlenau
estate.
To improve the means of access to Castlenau estate, Barnes, two triangular
portions of the Council's land at the northern ends of Kilmington-road and Boileauroad
were added to the public way. The owner of a corner house adjoining the estate
purchased from the Council a small piece of land along the return frontage to the
house and the owner and the Council each surrendered small pieces of land for
rounding off the corner.
Worm holt
estate.
A house at Wormholt estate, Hammersmith, was appropriated for the accommodation
of a schoolkeeper. A site was sold to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners
