The Byelaws enforce, among other things, the provision in
any house or part of a house intended or used for occupation by
the working classes :
(a) Closet accommodation;
(b) A supply of water for domestic use ;
(c) Accommodation for washing clothes;
(d) Accommodation for the storage of food in a reasonably
cool position with proper ventilation from the external air
wherever practicable and with protection from dust and flies ;
(e) Accommodation for the preparation and cooking of food ;
adequate for the use of and easily accessible to the persons by
whom the house is occupied.
These provisions will be very helpful in dealing with the
great number of houses in the district of which parts have been
let or sublet as separate tenancies.
