THE SLUM-CLEARANCE HUMBUG OF THE CITIZENS’ TICKET HERE IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF THEIR CIVIC NEGLECT: Before the war a Labour member of the Wellington Hospital Board reported to the Board the tragic circumstances under which a family was Hy* Ing in Taranaki Street The ease was fully reported in "The Dominion and the “Evening Post,” and was described, as shocking. A woman an-d her three young children, one a baby only a few months old, were living in a room 7ft by 7ft. Wallpaper and newspaper hung from the lining boards. - There were severol rat-holes in the floor and near the ceiling,, and a foxterrier was'kept in this palatial bedroom to keep .the rats away from the baby and the other children. A lavatory-pan was situated on the other side of the lining-boards of one wall, and a similar convenience was in the •neighhour’s outhouse close to the wall near the baby. The family, which *was a charge on the Hospital Board because of continued illness, was housed la another place after the Labour member had moved in the matter.
