buildings. Nos. $40. b12 and 514 Ferry
street. known as Whites Flats The
buildings are owned by Mrs. Annie White.
They are occupied by twenty-five fam
lilies. For years they have been the
scenes of drunken rows and are a dis
grace to the city. The rooms are reek-
ing in filth. the stairs are rickety. the
plaster has fallen from the walls n
the whole structure threatens to collapse
at any moment
Mrs. Annie White, who owns the prop
erty, applied to the Health Board at the
last meeting to have the con-
demned as they are unfit for h~abitation.
The property was left to Mrs. Witte by
her father, John White, who died some
years ago. The executors of the estate
have decided to tear the old buildings
down and erect a brick row, and Mrs.
Witte thought that the best way to have
the families elected was to apply to the
Health Board. A resolution was adopt
ed by the members condemning the
buildings and ordering the tenants to
move out within ten days notice.
Mr.. Palmer Campbell and DR.. Heller
both said that they had visited the tene-
ments and found them in a wretched
