way Terminus, and covers 12.34 acres, 1.54 of which is reserved
for allotments. As at Horns Road, two new roads have been
formed and sewers laid in same by contract. 110 houses
of the "B" type are being erected to the same design and description
as at Tomswood Hill and Ley Street. Two concrete
houses are being built here similar to those at Tomswood Hill
and Ley Street.
This scheme is not generally in such an advanced state as the
other three.
The general description of drainage given for the other
schemes equally applies here. New soil and surface sewers have
been laid in the new roads. The sewage and surface water from
20 houses will discharge into existing sewers in Park Lane, but
the balance will discharge into new sewers in new roads, ultimately
discharging into a new 12in. sewer laid in Chadwell Heath
l.ane, which in its turn discharges into the existing sewer crossing
the lane to the west of Mayes Brook.
The rest of the surface water is arranged to discharge into
Mayes Brook some distance north of Chadwell Heath Lane.
Of the houses being erected under the Council Schemes 24
were completed and in occupation at the end of the year.
In addition to the above, 95 other houses erected in the
district by private builders had been completed and occupied or
certified for occupation.
In addition to the Housing Schemes of the Ilford Council,
the City of London Corporation and the London County Council
have also, in pursuance of the Housing Acts, 1890 and 1919,
acquired certain lands in the Ilford district. The scheme of the
City of London Corporation comprises an area of 250 acres or
thereabouts, situate near the centre of the district, and known as
the Lonsdale Estate. It is proposed to erect 2,000 houses. The
houses will be of varying size, some containing three bedrooms,
bath room, two living rooms, scullery, and usual offices, and
