THE NEW LAW ON IMPROVED DWELLIIIOB 'OR
ran Woarnio-Cr-sesia.—The last act of parliament
in the late session was an important meuure. pared
ob-
ject was to provide better dwellings for artisans and
labourers by improving or taking down places occupied
by working men and their families which in the preamble
were described as " unfit for human habitation." Nu-
merous public improvements are being effected ; and in
the neighbourhood where they are being executed
wretched homes for the working men present themselves.
Prtmiees can now be represented by four or more house-
holders, and officers of health are to report, and, when
required, the owners are to improve the dwellings, or to
demolish the same. When expense* aro incurred a
charge is to be given on the property in the shape of a
mortgage and an annuals= to be paid. When • local
authority executes the works, money maybe borrowed of
the Public Loan Commissioner and others, and a "charg-
ing order " made on the property. The text of the new
law is to make provision for taking down or improving
dwellings occupied by working men and their families
which are unfit for human habitation, and for the build-
ing and maintaining abetter dwellings. In 41 sections
and several schedules the teat is worked oat.
