Your Vestry having delegated to the Works, Sanitary, and
General Purposes Committee the duty of taking the necessary
preliminary steps towards the registration of houses, the Committee
prepared a report defining the "mode of procedure," which was
approved by your Vestry, as follows:—
(a) Notice will be served on the landlord of each house, calling on him to
state in writing, within ten days, for the information of the Vestry,
any reasons why the house should not be registered.
(b) Should the landlord fail to state any reasons, or state reasons of an
sufficient character, why the house should not be registered, the Clerk
to the Vestry will serve upon the landlord a notice in writing calling
upon him to attend at the office of the Vestry within a period of ten
days, for the purpose of supplying the information necessary for the
registration of his house by the Vestry, in conformity with the first
regulation.
(c) Within a reasonable time after the receipt of the landlord's statement, or
failing the receipt of such statement, the house will be registered by
the Clerk to the Vestry, in a book to be provided by the Vestry, and
notice of the registration will be delivered or sent to the owner and to
the landlord of the house.
