The preliminary survey and the subsequent measurements were
completed by 2nd March, 1936, and the results were included in
the annual report for 1935.
The appointed day for Walthamstow with regard to Section 6
of the Act (i .e., the insertion of permitted numbers in rent books)
was January 1st, 1937.
In order to estimate the permitted numbers, some of the
temporary staff employed for the preliminary survey were re-engaged
in the latter half of 1936. Up to the 4th June, 1937, a total of
19,743 dwellings had been dealt with for the estimation of permitted
numbers. As far as possible it is intended to deal with
every house in the Borough used as a separate dwelling by members
of the working classes or of a type suitable for such use.
