REPORT TO THE SEWERS AND SANITARY COMMITTEE
OF THE PARISH OF ST. GILES,
CAMBERWELL, ON HOUSES LET IN
LODGINGS.
The subjoined Letter (dated December 29th, 1883), with
enclosures, addressed by the Secretary of the Local
Government Board to the Vestry Clerk, together
with the past and prospective action of this Vestry
in relation to the important matters with which that
Letter deals, having been referred to me by the
Sewers and Sanitary Committee for consideration
and report, I beg leave to report thereon as follows
The Letter of the Local Government Board
was addressed to 16 of the Metropolitan Vestries or
District Boards besides our own; that is to only 17
out of about 40 Vestries and District Boards comprised
in the Metropolitan area. The reason for
our inclusion in the minority might seem to be
implied in the first paragraph, which says "I am
directed by the Local Government Board to state
that they have deemed it desirable to declare the
enactments in Section 35 of the Sanitary Act, 1866,
