Housing (Consolidated) Regulations, 1925.
House to House Inspection.
The prevalence of smallpox has interfered very largely with
the making of house-to-house inspections under these Regulations.
A detailed house-to-house inspection has, however, been carried
out in order to obtain the particulars required to support clearance
schemes in several districts of the Borough.
Dangerous Structures.
Complaints of alleged dangerous structures at 313 premises were
forwarded to the London County Council during the year.
Rag Flock Acts, 1911 and 1928.
There is only one factory in the Borough where rag flock is
manufactured. One inspection was made during the year, and
the conditions were found to be satisfactory.
Two samples of flock in course of manufacture were taken from
this factory during the year. On examination, one sample proved
to be satisfactory, whilst the second sample contained 49 parts of
soluble chlorine per 100,000, or 19 parts in excess of the permissible
quantity. A cautionary letter was addressed to the manufacturer.
