Vestry's order, and model dwellings are now being erected on
their site.
The dilapidated two-roomed houses, 10 in number, situate
in Mail Coach Yard, Kingsland Road, which were so foul and
dilapidated as to be unfit for human habitation, have been
closed in accordance with the Vestry's order.
Only two Police Court summonses were taken out during
the year; one for recovery of costs of drain-work done by the
Vestry's order; and the other to obtain an order for abatement
of nuisances. The Magistrate made the order applied
for on behalf of the Vestry in both cases.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
H. ALEXANDER,
Sanitary Inspector.
