On reference to the summary at the end of the tables it will
be seen that according to the above standard, over-crowding is
not one of the defects of these areas. In a few instances rooms
have been found to contain an excess of occupants, but in no
case to a large extent.
Taking the areas on the north and south sides of Old Sreet, it
will be seen there is available space for 30 per cent. more
residents in the former and 50 per cent in the latter area.
Your obedient servant,
G. E. YARROW,
Medical Officer of Health.
