MALTHOUSE AREA.
An order was made by the Local Government Board, 2nd June,
1911, calling on the District Council to make a scheme forthwith
under Part 1 of the Housing of the Working Classes Act, 1890, for
the improvement of the area in which the buildings known as
Waring Buildings, Malthouse Cottages, Vine Cottages, Quicks
Cottages, Morwenha Cottages, and Wentworth Row, Parkers
Row, Thornes Cottages, and St. John's Row exist. During the
year the Council considered several schemes, and in November
approved one of them. On the 23rd December, 1911, the first
notice of publication was issued in the local newspaper. It is the
intention of the Council to seal the petition at the February
meeting.
