The following private streets have been mrde up
under Section 150 of the Public Health Act, 1875, viz:—
Drury Road, Lance Road, Colbeck Road, Sumner
Road, Butler Road (part 3) and Butler Road (part 4).
The following streets have been declared highways
repairable by the inhabitants at large, viz:—Greenhill
Crescent and Wellesley Road.
The Mortuary has been used in 7 cases.
I am glad to say that no plans of Flats have been
approved by the Council since 1903. Such dwellings
would be most undesirable in Harrow.
INHABITED HOUSES.
The number of houses at the middle of the year was
3,275. Of this number 3,020 were occupied, and 255
were unoccupied. There were 295 fiats. Of this number
247 were occupied, and 48 unoccupied. This gives a
total of 3,570 houses and flats, of which 3,267 were
occupied and 303 unoccupied. This shows in the town
39 fewer unoccupied dwellings than in 1907, despite an
increase of 295 in the number of dwellings.
SEWAGE FARMS.
The effluents from the Sewage Farms have on the
whole been satisfactory.
A portion of the new field at Newton has been dug
over and about 1,000 loads of ashes mixed with the soil.
This should prove helpful in purification of the sewage.
HOUSE NUMBERING.
Mr. Kramm reports as follows:—
During the year the houses in Heath, Merivale,
Pinner, Sheepcote, and Butler Roads have been numbered,
totalling 405 houses in all. This now makes a total of
1562 houses numbered. These figures show that about
half the existing houses are numbered.
Instructions have been given for notices to be served
on the residents of Sumner, Colbeck, and Lance Roads,
with a view to numbering the houses.
COMMON LODGING HOUSES.
There is one Common Lodging House in the town,
which was visited and found in a satisfactory condition.
