HOUSING OF ENGLISH POOR.

Lord Salisbury's tenement-reform measure
deals with two distinct classes of evils. The
first includes those of strictly sanitary nature
arising from faulty construction of houses. bad
drainage and insufficient water. This class the
Prime Minister considered to be already in pro-
cess of fairly rapid cure, since sanitary evils
naturally disappear as prosperity increases and
since there are already adequate legal pro-
visions for securing relief. The new act aims
to hasten this process by enforcing existing
sanitary regulations on broad scale. The
laws now applied 10 the metropolis are to be
extended to all English cities AM the local
authorities are to be subjected to pressure from
the Local Government Board and forced to
clear slums and to adopt other measures of re-
lief. These provisions of the act may become
effective when the entire system Of local gov
eminent has been reorganized by Parliament,
but at present they offer only faint promise of
relief. The statute books contain already sini-
tary acts by the score, but there are no efficient
agencies by which they can be applied. There
is one clause of the new measure however,
which arms the occupant of a house or tene-
ment with power to redress his owe grievances
without the aid of the local authorities. 1t
reads: @Any person letting house, and not
taking proper and reasonable precautions that
I" it is healthy. will be held to have broken the
contract, and will be held LIABLE just Us rail-
way company ia, for illness OF death, so far rs
Sit is dne to his own negligence" The law
singulariy enough already provides warranty
of this kind in the case OF furnished, but not of
