vans, sheds, etc.
(1) .4s to working of existing Bye-laws :
For reasons given elsewhere it has been impracticable
to maintain the inspection of houses let in
lodgings, etc. Probably many houses are now
technically houses let in lodgings owing to the
abnormal housing conditions, but are not on the
register.
(2) As to need for new byelaws and revision of existing
bye-laws :
Some difficulty has been experienced in dealing with
caravan dwellers under the existing bye-laws
with regard to the disposal of refuse, and closet
accommodation, and a revision of these bye-laws
is under consideration.
IV. General and Miscellaneous.
Other action taken in connection with overcrowding,
insanitary property and housing ... Nil.
