The Edmonton Co-operative Society is thinking of developing a small area
at Langhedge Lane for houses and small workshops, and in October the Society's
attention was drawn to the relations of their property to the proposed North
Circular arterial road.
Dated October, 1917, a memorandum of the Advisory Housing Panel of
the Ministry of Reconstruction was published about August, 1918
During December I received (1) from the Ministry of Reconstruction an
Interim Report on Public Utility Societies by the Housing (FinaĆcial Assistance)
Committee; (2) from the Local Government Board, a Report of the
Departmental Committee with 23 recommendations, mostly of a highly technical
character affecting building bye-laws. Almost everyone of the recommendations
of the latter involves legislation to give them effect; and we must not
forget that there was no M.O.H. on the Committee. Verbum sap. sat.
