SECTION D.
HOUSING.
Number of new houses erected during the year.
125 houses were completed during the year 1950 by private
builders. The Council erected 332 houses during the year and four
houses were rebuilt as a result of destruction by enemy action.
Hornchurch retained its place as the leading Urban District in
England and Wales for housing completion during the year—a lead
which has been maintained since the end of the war—and had in
fact at the end of the year increased the lead.
