Inspection of Houses.—In accordance with the provisions of the Housing
(Consolidated) Regulations, 1925, the systematic inspection of houses in the district
was continued during the year. In all 2,554 houses were surveyed house-to-house,
and their condition was recorded on special survey cards. It is the practice to
secure the abatement of such nuisances as are found to exist by serving notices
under the provisions of the Public Health (London) Act, 1891, but in a certain
number of instances demolition orders were applied for. In tabular form is shown
below a detailed statement of the specific action taken under the Housing Acts during
the year.
