able benefit to the inhabitants of Harrow, and some of
the neighbouring districts. The courage and public spirit
of those who have brought about, its establishment deserve
acknowledgment from all who are interested in the welfare
of the Town.
MOUNT PARK DISTRICT.
This district has not yet been transferred to Harrow,
to which it naturally belongs. I have repeatedly pointed
out the utterly unsatisfactory condition of the present state
of things, and would urge the Council to leave no means
untried to bring about the inclusion of Mount Park with
Harrow.
NEW HOUSES, BUILDINGS, ETC.
Mr. Percy Bennetts, your Surveyor, reports as
follows:—
The number of plans approved by the Council was:—
New Houses, 166; Shops, 24; Alterations and Additions,
22; Buildings not Dwellings, 18; Hospital, x; Church, x;
New Road, 2; 200 Houses and 10 Shops have been
finished and approved. No plans of Flats have been
submitted.
The Mortuary has been used for 8 cases.
The private streets, Greenhill Crescent and Wellesley
Road, have been made up under Section 150 of the Public
Health Act, 1875, and the following roads declared Highways
repairable by the inhabitants at large:—Alma Road,
Alma Crescent, Waldron Yard, Butler Road (Part 2),
Bowen Road, Heath Road, Merivale Road, Vaughan Road
(Part 2), and Parkfield Road.
The number of inspections of houses, etc., in course
of erection during the year amounted to 3,600, and the
number of defects or contraventions of the By-laws found
and remedied was 204.
I am glad to say that no plans of Flats have been
approved by the Council since 1903. Such dwellings are
most undesirable in a place like Harrow.
