The Proceedings of the Second All India Sanitary Conference Held at Madras November 11th to 16th 1912 Hygiene

1913

- The draft of the Bombay Town Planning Act embodies the suggestions contained in the note marked appendix 5 in the printed proceedings of it year's conference and in that respect really combines the German Act principle of ' redistribution' and the English Act principle of ' betterment ' the former giving power to alter the shapes of plots so as to render them more suitable for building purpose [...] Whetli& the holdings be small or large one great advantage of reditribution is the power to cut out plots feom the larger holdings and to allow there to such owners as are dispossessed from their lands by the advent of roads market places and other public sites for thereby the capital cost of a scheme is reduced to the extent of ti.e value of the plot allotted and the owner of the holding [...] Moreover there is nothing in the Municipal Act or bye-laws requiring a house=owner to limit the height of his house in consideration of the extent to which the height interferes with the lighting and ventilation of the house itself or of houses adjacent to it. [...] improvements made by the Improvement Trust in the fey small sections of the City which they have been able to tackle are as a drop in the ocean to the rapid advance in insanitary condtions which is going on all over the City by virtue of the want of some check on extensions of buildings outwards and upwards and the consequent steady deterioration of the already defective lighting and ventilatio [...] 7. Meanwhile the.Municipal Commis'sioner and in represented " areas the Improvement Trust should have power to apply the veto to the worst cases in the worst localities ; but in every case the Commisioner or the Improvement Trust should be required to first give the evicted occupants the refusal of decent accommodation within a mile of the condemned dwell= ings at the same rents as they paid
