None of the cases in which closing orders were made were ripe for consideration
of the question of making demolition orders when the year came to
an end.
No proceedings were taken under any of the other Housing of the Working
Classes Acts during 1910. In one instance an owner of premises asked that a
closing order should be made with respect to his own premises under the Public
Health (London) Act. 1891. and this the magistrate consented to do. Particulars
with regard to this case will be found on page 72.
One house was voluntarily closed and in several others great improvements
were carried out after the attention of the owners had been directed to their
condition.
Houses Let in Lodgings.
The re.registration of premises which were on the register of houses.let.in
odgings when the new by.laws relating to such places came into force in 1907
continued during 1910. The number originally registered was 758. At the end
of 1910 the number re.examined and re.registered was 501 and certificates
regarding them were issued to owners and occupiers.
