Legal Proceedings.—twenty-two cases authority
for summons was given by the Borough Council for
failure to comply with the provisions of the Public
Health (London) Act, 1891, but as the work was completed
in all cases, no legal proceedings under this Act
were instituted.
Authority was given by the Council to carry out
housing repairs in default of the owners under Section 3
of the Housing Act, 1925, in seven cases. In one case
the work had to be carried out by the Borough Surveyor's
Department, while in the remaining six cases it was done
by the owners themselves.
Rag Flock Acts, 1911 and 1928.
There are no premises in Fulham at which rag
flock is manufactured, used or sold.
Increase of Rent and Mortgage Interest
(Restrictions) Act, 1920, Rent and Mortgage
Interest (Restrictions) Act, 1923.
Fourteen applications for certificates that the houses
occupied were not in all respects reasonably fit for human
habitation or were otherwise not in a reasonable state
of repair were made during 1929.
Certificates were granted in four cases and of the
remaining ten, one did not come within the terms of
the Rent Restrictions Acts,which in nine cases the repairs
were carried out at once by the owners so that the issue
of Certificates was unnecessary.
