There is a sufficiency of houses in the district for artizans and labourers.
Edmonton, in the opinion of many ratepayers, has done more than its share
to provide such dwellings; hence its high rates. '' Let other London suburbs
take their part in catering for the working classes," is their comment.
* The defects found are too varied and numerous for inclusion in any tabular statement,
but they are detailed in our register.
