Of the total of 17,132 dwelling-houses, 1,596 are owned by the Council and
approximately 7,375 have been erected in the area by the London County Council
since the year 1929.
It is interesting to note that 1,887 houses have been purchased by occupiers
with assistance under the Small Dwellings Acquisition Act.
During the year 1934, no less than 347 temporary buildings were approved for
erection in the back gardens of dwelling-houses in the district.
In connection with the Corporation estate at Movers Lane, the Council
decided to erect a standard type of shed for each house. This conforms with the
view I have expressed continuously since 1930.
