The suggestion was made that while the organisation for
enumeration and measuring was in being, so to speak, the 5,537
houses found during the course of the enumeration to be tenement
houses, of which 500 are registered as such, should be measured,
together with the 9,571 basement rooms that the enumeration
disclosed were occupied as dwellings. This would be very helpful
in connection with the By-laws with respect to Houses Let in
Tenements and the Underground Room Regulations.
So far, only the premises occupied by 7,880 families have been
measured and since the number of families living in the houses
visited by the enumerators is 61,615, it will be realised that the
greater part of the work of measuring houses remains to be carried
out.
During the course of the survey it was found that 43 families
living in 43 houses or flats on the Borough Council's estates and
70 families living in 71 flats on London County Council estates in
Hackney were overcrowded. The following are lists of these
instances of overcrowding:—
