Houses Let in Lodgings.— No register is now kept of houses let in lodgings,
but as the records of this Department in respect of individual houses are kept on
cards, such houses are kept prominently before the district sanitary inspectors by
means of "signals" on the cards, which serve as reminders to the inspectors that they
are deahng with houses that would formerly have been registered. During the year
231 inspections of such houses were made.
Common Lodging Houses.— These are licensed annually by the Borough Council
in accordance with the provisions of the Public Health (London) Act, 1936. The number
of inspections made during the year was 65. The following Table No. 38 shows
details of the accommodation available in each common lodging house in the Borough.
