SEWAGE DISPOSAL.
The sewage of the Brent area is still treated at the Sewage Works,
but the work of constructing the sewers by which the sewage of the
Brent area, like that of the Metropolitan area, shall discharge into the
Metropolitan sewers has commenced, and it is hoped that in the course
of 1911, the whole of the sewage of Willesden will discharge into the
sewers of the London County Council.
COMMON LODGING HOUSES.
The two Common Lodging Houses in the district are kept under
constant supervision, and always found to be kept in a cleanly
condition, and conducted in a satisfactory manner.
Additional accommodation was made to the Common Lodging
House in South Kilburn during the year 1909, but no application has
yet been received for registration of the new addition..
The table gives the particulars relating to sleeping accommodation
in each of the Common Lodging Houses registered in Willesden
