42 9 OCTOBER, 1889.
The remedy for the complaint contained in the said
report is to enlarge the window of the ground floor, and
to insert ventilating air bricks at the front and back of
each of the rooms, and to repave the yard, and so much
of the court in the front of the said house.
The removal of the block of houses immediately
adjoining the north side of the court, has so materially
altered the condition, in my opinion, as to remove the
cause of complaint contained in the said report referred
to in the building in of the court.
If these works be executed, it will not in my opinion,
be necessary to demolish the said house in order to
remove the complaint contained in the report of the
Medical Officer of Health.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,

Gentlemen,
re No. 7, 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. 7, 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 itself is so built in at each end as to
prevent proper ventilation to this house.
The remedy tor the complaint contained in the said
report of the Medical Officer of Health is to enlarge the
windows of the ground floor room. To insert ventilating
air bricks in front and back of each room. To
repave the yard and so much of the Court in the front of
the said house.
That the only remedy for the last mentioned complaint,
namely, that the Court is so built in at each end
as to prevent proper ventilation, would be to remove the
