to health so as to be unfit for human habitation " for the
following reasons:—
There is not sufficient ventilation to the ground floor
back living rooms.
There is not sufficient light to the ground floor back
living room.
The yard is too small to allow sufficient air space at
the back of the premises.
The passages are dirty and dilapidated.
I am, etc.
