9 OCTOBER, 1889. 41
The complaint contained in the said report of the
Medical Officer of Health is
That there is not sufficient light to the ground floor
rooms.
That there is not sufficient ventilation owing to the
house being so built in.
That the walls are damp.
This house consists of two rooms one above the other,
and a wash-house in the rear, with a small yard and W.C.
Each room is provided with a window in the front and
back, and also with a door in the front and back on the
ground floor. The removal of the houses on the north
side has doubtless materially altered the condition of
these premises, since the date of the signing of this report,
16th July last.
In order to remove the complaint contained in the said
report, which in my opinion has not been removed at the
present time, it is necessary to insert a damp-proof course
in the said walls, and to repave the yard, and so much of
court in the front of the said house.
In my opinion, if the said works be executed, it will
not be 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 under
the above named Act.
Vestry of the Hamlet of Mile End Old Town.
Vestry Hall, Bancroft Road, Mile End Road, E.
9th October, 1889.
To the Vestry of the Hamlet of Mile End Old Town.
Gentlemen,
re No. 6, White Horse Court, White Horse Lane.
I have considered the report of the Medical Officer of
Health referred to me at your meeting, held on the 25th
day of September last, in respect of the house and premises
known as No. 6, White Horse 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 there is not sufficient light to the ground floor
room.
That there is not sufficient ventilation owing to the
house being so built in.
That the court is so built in at each end, as to prevent
proper ventilation to the house.
