LICENCES FOR TEMPORARY BUILDINGS. (To THE EDITOR OF THE "
SPECTATOR.")
Sta,—My mother has just received an extremely onerous form of agreement for a licence for a temporary building (a wooden motor house) in which the former practice of granting a licence for three years is now superseded by a stipulation that the Council may give only three months' notice in writing for the structure to be taken down! I consider this extremely un- reasonable under present conditions, when the Government wish luxury building to be restricted. Surely materials and labour should not be taken to build brick motor houses to replace wooden ones pulled down at the whim of a local council. Hoping you will be able to help me in this matter, as your paper takes so.much interest in housing matters,--I am, Sir,
3 Salisbury Avenue, Harpenden, Herts.
P.S.—Have not the local by-laws been abrogated by the Ministry of Health?
