July 24th, 1889.
To the Vestry of the Hamlet of Mile End Old Town.
Gentlemen,
re No. 2, Sampson's Court, Mile End, E.
I have considered the report of the Medical Officer of
Health referred to me at your meeting held on the 10th
day of July, in respect of the house and premises known
as 2, Sampson's Court, under the provisions of the
Artizans and Labourers' Dwellings' Act, 1868.
The complaint contained in the said report of the
Medical Officer of Health is—
That the yard at the back of the house is so built over
as to prevent proper ventilation.
There is not sufficient air space either in the front or
back of the house.
The wall in front of the house and the wall at the back
prevent both proper ventilation and light to the
ground floor rooms.
That there is no room for a proper receptacle for the
dust.
The cause of the complaint made in the said report is
that the house is built upon a site of insufficient size.
The remedy is to pull down the said house and construct
it of smaller dimensions.
In my opinion it is necessary to demolish the said
house in order to remove the complaint contained in the
said report of the Medical Officer of Health.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
{Signed) JNO. M. KNIGHT,
An Engineer appointed to report on the said
premises in accordance with the said Act.
