REGISTRATION OF HOUSES LET IN LODGINGS, OR OCCUPIED
BY MEMBERS OF MORE THAN ONE FAMILY.
(29 & 30 Vic., cap. 30, sec. 35, & 37 & 33 Vic., cap. 89, sec. 47.)
Of the 327 houses upon the register, 16 in the Holloway Road
(Palmer Terrace), are at the present time being demolished. The
remaining 311 houses have been regularly inspected during the year
and the regulations duly enforced.
About 165 notices were served for non-compliance with the
regulations, but in no instance was it found necessary to take legal
proceedings in order to enforce the carrying out of the same.
THE DUSTING OF THE PARISH, 1890-91.
I have appended, as usual, a tabulated statement (Table No. IX.)
of the applications for the removal of Dust during the year ending
Lady-day, 1891, showing the number received during each quarter
from the eight different Wards of the Parish.
Of the total number of 11,488 applications received from residents
during the year, 8,208 were by Letter or Post Card, and 3,280
by personal application at the Vestry Offices.
The 11,488 applications received from inhabitants were at the rate
of 26.9 per cent, of the 42,708 assessments in the Parish, as against
18.6 per cent, in 1889.
CONCLUSION.
A new Sanitary Bill (a more or less complete Consolidation Act)
will probably have become Law within a short period of this report
being in your hands. It introduces many changes, not the least of which
will consist in a transference of some of your powers to new bodies,
