above Table one underground room was represented during
the year and a closing order was made by the Council. One
other room, originally used for this purpose, ceased to be so
used.
Tents and Vans. The bye-laws for regulating the use of
these were made by the Council in 1903. All the tents and
vans were regularly inspected during the year to ensure that
these bye-laws were being observed. It was necessary to
serve notices for three offences.
Increase of Rent and Mortgage Interest (Restrictions)
Acts. 1920 and 1923. During the year four applications were
made by the occupiers of four houses for certificates that the
houses occupied by them were not in a reasonable state of
repair. One certificate was granted and one report issued,
and in the other two instances the applications were withdrawn
as the necessary work to put the houses in a reasonable
state of repair was done.
New Houses. Water certificates were granted during
the year for the following new houses erected in the
