In connection with the provisions for the rehousing of persons displaced by the scheme,
the Board have experienced a difficulty, inasmuch as they have been advised that the cleared
area would be insufficient in extent to provide adequate accommodation for 550 persons,
unless recourse be had to the erection of a block or blocks of tenement buildings. Assuming
therefore that the Vestry and County Council desire to avoid the construction of such
buildings, the Board have deemed it necessary to provide for the use of some other suitable
sire for some of the dwellings to be erected in pursuance of the scheme.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
S. B. PROYISj
Assistant Secretary.
