HOUSING ACT, 1936.
During the year 1945, the work of receiving applications, calling for
calculations for the "permitted number," was continued with a view to
the issue of housing certificates. One temporary clerk was employed.
Altogether applications were received in respect of 15,916 houses. At
the end of the year the total certificates issued to date numbered 18,099
in respect of 24,592 houses. Where no application for a certificate was
received for the permitted number arising from the 1935 survey, lists were
forwarded to the Town Clerk, who communicated in 1,343 cases with the
persons responsible, pointing out the requirements of the Act. Of this
number, 1,339 were received up to 31st December, 1945, and the balance
of 4 is receiving attention.
As new premises were constructed and placed upon the rating lists,
these lists were obtained and survey forms sent with a view to the issue of
"permitted number" certificates, and in all, new premises (not enumerated
under the 1935 survey) have been dealt with to the extent of 8,207.
