Nos. 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19. These are a row of some
what similar houses three stories high. Since last put in
order they have been greatly neglected. The owner has
been informed of what is required generally. It is considered
that each tenement should have a separate W.C., and also
be provided with a sink and water supply. He was advised
to do one house at a time, so as not to displace too many
persons at once. A closing order has been served in respect
of No. 15. No work has been begun yet (March 1914).
Kings Road.—162, 164, 166, 168, 170, 172, 174. These
houses which are let as separate flats one upstairs and one
down, were in need of general repairs. These repairs have
been carried out and the houses are now satisfactory. It
was found impractical to arrange for a W.C. for each flat.

repairs are being carried out in these houses.

March 18. House is closed.
Hawks Road.—82, 84, 86, 88, 90, 92, 94, 96, 98, 100, 102,
104, 106. These houses are old structures in need of general
repairs. The work has been carried out.
Washington Road.—2. This is a very small house apparently
the wing of the adjoining house. Rooms very small
Dirty and dilapidated. Closing order served December
23rd. The house is now closed.
Coombe Road.—1, 3, 5, 7. These are very old cottages.
