SECTION IV.
HOUSING AND TOWN-PLANNING.
Building's. In consequence of the war-regulations of the Ministry
of Munitions respecting the limitation of any outlay to £500, unless by
special provision, no large buildings other than factories for war work have
been erected in Edmonton this year. Very few dwellings have been erected
either, because of the scarcity of labour and the high prices for wood and
other materials.
No prosecutions for contraventions of the building bye-law 113 have
taken place since 1907.
In April, plans were submitted showing considerable alterations and
additions to the old linoleum works in Angel Road, where the manufacture
of margarine will be established. For the rest of the year, there has been
a large number of men employed here. Amongst other matters, extended
and improved sanitary conveniences, a large benzine store, and a deep well
supply are in prospect.
In October, plans were passed for the erection of a lodge, mortuary,
waiting-rooms and chapel at the Jews' Cemetery, Montagu Road. These
replace old ones.
