That your Committee surveyed the area proposed to be
dealt with, and inspected many of the houses therein, and
were unanimously of opinion that insanitary matters existing
in the properties could be dealt with under the Sanitary Acts,
and that it was not necessary to incur the large expenditure
which would attend a scheme under section 39 of the Housing
of the Working Classes' Act, 1890.
Your Committee therefore resolved to recommend—That it
is inadvisable to pass the requisite resolutions directing a
scheme to be prepared under section 39 of the Housing of
the Working Classes' Act, 1890, in respect of the premises
referred to in the Report of No. 3 Committee, dated the 5th
of August last.
