On the other hand, a large percentage of the additional staff employed in the Royal Arsenal during the War did not reside in the Borough, so that even if discharges are drastic, they will have to be very drastic indeed before their effect is apparent on the numbers included in the present.day population. The general te...

Ratepayers in the Metropolitan Boroughs will not have to pay both in respect of their own schemes and in respect of the County Council schemes, and the maximum they can be called upon to pay, as we have already said, is the product of a penny rate in the pound.

There is no exact definition of overcrowding, but in actual practice there are two generally accepted standards: (a) The Registrar.General, for census purposes, accepts as a standard of overcrowding the occupation of a room by more than two persons; 89 (b) Sanitary Officers take as their guide the minimum standard laid...

On the standard of the Registrar.General at the time of the Census (1911), the population in Woolwich living more than two per room was 6'3 per cent. This figure was lower than any other Borough in London with the exception of Lewisham, which was 3.9 per cent. The percentage for the County of London was 17.8. This perc...

This number is probably a low estimate owing to (а) The tendency of overcrowding in this sense to move outwards from the inner Boroughs of London ; (b) The increased accommodation demanded by workers in better economic circumstances, leaving less room for others less fortunately situated. There are no unoccupied dwelli...

A large number of the houses have been built in the last 30 years, and there has, of course, been no repetition of the condition of affairs which was permitted before the passing of the London Building Act; but it must be borne in mind that some of the houses in the older parts of the Borough are more crowded together ...
