of overcrowding, and 175 for the cleansing of passages, floors,
wash-houses, water-closets, and the remedying of other sanitary
defects. Nearly the whole of these houses have a good supply of
water direct from the main without the intervention of a cistern

registered houses have been pulled down as unfit for human
habitation.
