HOUSES UNFIT FOR HABITATION.
Notices were served with reference to 10 houses under the
Housing of the Working Classes Act, 1890, as being unfit for
human habitation, two in North Woolwich Ward, and eight
in Central Ward.
It was not found necessary to apply to the Magistrates for
Closing Orders, as in three cases the houses were rendered habitable,
and in seven instances the houses (which were a row of
ancient cottages) were demolished.
PETROLEUM LICENSES.
In consequence of the demand for petrol, many more
Petroleum Licenses have been granted, necessitating more
inspections and supervision.
In every case the strictest care is taken to enforce the
provisions of the Act and conditions upon which the licenses are
granted.
