REGISTRATION OF HOUSES LET IN LODGINGS, OR OCCUPIED
BY MEMBERS OF MORE THAN ONE FAMILY.
(29 & 30 Vic., cap. 90, s. 35; and 37 & 38 Vic., cap. 89, s. 47.)
Of the 311 houses upon the register, 7 in Hercules Place and 2 in
Hornsey Road were demolished during the year, whilst one house in
Bemerton Street and another in Benwell Road were taken off the
register by resolution of the Vestry upon the application of the owners
who had let the houses to one family. The remaining 300 houses have
been regularly inspected during the year, and the regulations duly
enforced.
155 notices were served for non-compliance with the regulations,
but in no instance was it found necessary to resort to legal proceedings
to enforce them.
THE DUSTING OF THE PARISH, 1891-92.
I have appended the usual tabulated statement (Table No. X.)
of the applications for the removal of Dust during the year ending
Lady Day, 1892, showing the number received during each quarter
from the eight different Wards of the Parish.
Of the total number of 10,838 applications received from residents
during the year, 8,013 were by Letter or Post Card, and 2,825 by
personal application at the Vestry Offices.
The 10,838 applications received from inhabitants were at the rate
of 25.6 per cent. of the 42,180 assessments in the Parish, as against
26.9 per cent. in 1890.
