Salutation Alley 42.2

Reidhaven Road area 17.1
If a comparison be made, Morris Street is to be placed, as
regards the health conditions, on a level with Dicey Street,
Delvan Street, and James Street, and the block of industrial
houses in High Street.
The following is the result of the inspection:—
33 houses inspected—some defective structure or
sanitary defects in all.
Dirty interiors (at least two rooms) 15
Defective roof 9
Dilapidations such as to be a nuisance 13
Dampness 5
Defective yard paving 5
Overcrowding 9
Notices have been served for the remedying of the defects
found. The necessity for a frequent inspection of such property
is shown by the fact that although these houses were inspected
in October last, so many were found to be in a seriously
insanitary condition.
31. Council's Houses. All the Council's 25 houses in North
Woolwich were occupied throughout the year, with the exception
of 2 which were vacant 3 weeks, and 2 vacant 1 week.
The number of persons at present housed is 129, or about 5 to
a house. For particulars as to rent and cubic space of these
houses see Annual Report, 1904, page 70.
