Large amounts of money have been spent by the owners to
put and keep these houses in proper sanitary condition, and
in this way the freeholders, or long leaseholders, are made to
improve their own insanitary areas—a more satisfactory
arrangement than if such owners were offered a premium for
slum property, as is apt to be the case where a Sanitary
Authority compulsorily purchases such property with a view
to clearing an area under Part I. of the Housing Act. Further,
the improved surroundings under which tenants live must
have a distinctly educational value, though tenants vary considerably
in their ideas as to the standards to be adopted in
regard to cleanliness of person or house.
