1 and 2, Brooke's Cottages.—These houses, in the same
ownership, stand behind the above. They have been put
into thorough repair and are now fairly habitable.
Mill Cottages.—1, 2, 3, 4. General repairs and cleansing
required. This is part of the same property.
Mill Place.—15 and 17. The same remarks apply as to
Fairfield South above.
Canbury Passage.—60, 62, 64, 66. Inspection was
requested by the owner who carried out the requirements,
mostly general repairs.
Nos. 19, 21, 23. Damp and in general disrepair. Drain
under house was relaid. Now fairly habitable.
Asylum Road.—1, 3, 5, 7. Four rooms and Scullery.
No. 9 five rooms and scullery.
Nos. 11 to 31 four rooms and scullery.
Nos. 2 to 32 north side, all five rooms and scullery.
This is a narrow side road running from Cambridge Road to
Washington Road. It is inhabited by casual labourers,
vagrant persons and Italians.
General repairs and cleansing were required, and in fact
these are constantly recurring requirements. The houses are
in fair structural repair, but the road has become infamous in
the comparative respectability of a suburban town, on
account of the class of people inhabiting the street. We are
told, such people must live somewhere, but there is no
necessity for putting them altogether in certain streets. By
distributing them in single families, amongst the more
respectable quarters, they would adopt the ways of the
majority and improve.
Hampden Road.—4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20. These
houses were in need of general repairs. They are houses
built 50 or 60 years ago and for that period are fairly good.
