This family appears to consist of father, mother
and four children under six years of age. The father,
I understand, earns about 18s. per week, out of
which he pays 4s. per week rent. He is under notice
to leave his present situation. The mother has been
recently confined, and I am informed the baby is in
a wasting condition as one can well understand it
would be having regard to the poor standard of living
obtaining here.
As regards overcrowding, the cubic capacity of
the room occupied by this family is about 1,387 cubic
feet, consequently the overcrowding, if any, would
only amount to such a trifle as would not justify
interference.
Some cleansing and internal repairs are required
to some of the rooms, and in respect to this I am
serving a notice on the owner.
I am also requesting the attention of our lady
inspector to the mother and child.
