on 15th December, 1896 the Sanitary Committee reported having further considered
the draft scheme prepared by the Vestry for dealing with the Fulford Street and Braddon
street insanitary Area under part 2 of the Housing of the Working Classes Act, 1890,
returned by the London County Council with certain suggestions marked in red ink thereon,
and a letter from the Clerk to the Council as under:—
London County Council
Spring Gardens, S.W.
28th November, 1896
Sir
Your letter of the 19th instant with respect to the question of including in the
Fulford Street and Braddon Street Scheme the houses Nos. 24 to 27 Braddon Street,
has been under the consideration of the Housing of the Working Classes Committer.
In reply, I am directed to state that, hiring regard to the opinion expressed by the
Vestry that the delusion of the houses in question would entirely spoil the scheme,
the Committee do not propose to raise any further objection to the inclusion of the
house in the scheme. I am. however, to remind you that there is no provision
under Part 2 of the Housing of the Working Classes Act, 1890, for the acquisition
of neighbouring lands, end that on that account it is probable that the Inspector
appointed by the Local Government Board to bold the inquiry would sustain an
Objection, if raised before him by parties interested, to the inclusion of the property
in the scheme. Under all the circumstances, however, I am to say that the
Committee ere of opinion that the best coarse for the Vestry to adopt would be to
proceed with the scheme in its original form, end meet any difficulty which may be
raised in the course of the inquiry or upon the report of the Inspector in such
manner as may them appear to be advisable
I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant

The Clerk:
Vestry of Retherhithe
Resolve- That the suggestion marked in red ink upon the draft scheme by the
Council be approved and adapted and that a strip of land 9 inches wide be left between the
