Filthy Habitations
r n OELDOM, m these enlightened h days, is the public shocked by details of such cases of human de- . • gradation as were revealed m the a recent Elmsley case, m which' a . d man was alleged to 'have illtreated his wife. The legal proceedings against n the man failed m their purpose, but the deplorable conditions under ■* which the family lived were not m . , dispute, and it is interesting to " ./note that the Waikato County •Council has received instructions from the health authorities to deo molish the "home" of the Elmsley t family, described as. '.'fitthy and. • unfit for human habitation." It is gratifying to learn that. the . s health authorities are determined 0 to stamp out any tendency to ,t create conditions of living that would shame primitive savages.
