Housing of the Working Classes Act, 1890.—During the year I
reported the following houses with the undermentioned results:—
Nos. I and 2, Nursery Cottages. (Rendered fit.)
Nos. 23, 25, 35, 37, 39 and 41, Stanley Street. (Rendered fit.)
Nos. 30, 32, 34 and 36, Poplar Street. (Closed.)
Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, Ruckholt Mill Cottages.
Nos. 1 and 3, Rathbone Street. (Closed.)
Nos. 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38 and 39, Carpenter's Road,
(Rendered fit.)
No. 31, High Street, Plaistow.
Slaughter-houses and Knackers' Yards.—All the above were regularly
inspected during the year. Fresh licenses were granted in respect of 307, Romford
Road and Hoghall Farm, Beckton Road, and renewals granted in respect of 93 and
95, Vicarage Lane, and 14, Globe Crescent Road ; while an application for a slaughterhouse
license at 86, Leyton Road was refused, the premises being in my opinion, quite
unfit for the purpose. A knacker's license was transferred to Messrs. Harrison and
Barber from the Horse Owners' Association in Sugar House Lane. The business of this
firm was considerably extended and gave rise to considerable nuisance, which
necessitated extensive alterations both of plant and procedure.
Common Lodging-houses.—There has been a steady improvement in the
management of the common lodging-houses during recent years, three most
objectionable houses having been closed. During 1895 ???r. E. Leader was registered
as keeper of No. 19, Tenby Road, and Mr. C. Harris as keeper of No. 69, Victoria
Dock Road.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
