in the way of re-housing, the Council had passed a resolution
that in future all cases involving re-housing should be undertaken
by them. Upon this, a communication was forwarded to
the Council stating that the Vestry presumed the Arbitration
would be unnecessary and would therefore be abandoned. After
negotiations and considerable delay intimation was received that
the insanitary area was, or at least the chief parts of it were,
accepted by the Council and would be dealt with by them.
