Reference has been made in my Annual Reports for
previous years to the five year programme submitted to the
Minister of Health in accordance with the requirements of
Circular 1331, and the progress made to the end of 1934
(as shown in the summary) in this connection is very
satisfactory.
With regard to overcrowding, seven cases were discovered
during the year. There were six cases carried
over from 1933, making a total of thirteen during 1934.
Twelve were abated, leaving one known case outstanding on
December 31st 1934.
The building of these houses was completed during 1934 and the following table gives particulars of the total houses erected during the year :—
| Number of new houses for the working classes erected by the Corporation during the year ended 31st December 1934 | 30 |
| Number of houses erected by private enterprise during the year ended 31st December 1934 | 432 |
