REGULATIONS AS TO HOUSES LET IN
LODGINGS.
During the last year this Act has been put into operation,
we have already a number of houses under this Act which are
visited from time to time, and are being kept in a fair sanitary
condition. I reported to the Vestry that a large number of the
houses 111 Ernest Street and Lydia Street were being occupied
by two and in some cases three families, the Vestry passed
the necessary orders and the provisions of the Act were
served on each house; all these houses were inspected by your
Inspector and myself, and particulars obtained as to their cubic
capacity, etc., we did not find any overcrowding to exist, but
many sanitary defects were found which the Act provided
against, the necessary notices were served in each case and the
works have now been executed.
ARTIZAN DWELLINGS.
We have in our district a number of block dwellings which
are occupied by the Artizan Class, as perhaps, many Vestrymen
are not acquainted with their locality and the particulars of their
occupation I append the following table; all these tenements
have been visited during the year, and, taken as a whole, were
found to be in a very fair sanitary state.
