House Drainage.
Thirty-one houses were redrained during the year as
compared with 53 during 1925.
There can be no doubt whatever that the elimination of
these seriously defective drains will have a beneficial effect
on the Borough, and the large amount of time absorbed by
this branch of the work is well spent.
The following list shows the situation and number of
premises redrained during the year:—
Brunswick Road 1
Cambridge Grove Road 1
Canbury Park Road 2
Cowleaze Road 7
Durlston Road 1
Elm Crescent 13
Elm Road 1
Liverpool Road 1
St. James' Road 1
Uxbridge Road 1
Water Lane 2
Increase of Rent & Mortgage Interest Acts.
Twelve applications were received during the year from
tenants for certificates under Section 2, Sub-Section 2, pf
the above Act, as compared with 12 during 1925.
The premises were subjected in each case to a careful
inspection, and the owners of the houses were invited to
carry out any necessary items of repair.
In four instances necessary repairs were not carried out
by the owners, and certificates were granted to the tenants.
