lively debate in the Chamber of Deputies
on the high rents in Naples. the renown-
Cd socioIogist Deputy Colajanni. stated
that the misery in that city was fright
full. With its three-auartcrs of mill
lion inhabitants it had as many outcasts
as London. he said. II is estimated that
there are about 10000 persons without
fixed dwellings. Many still herd in cel-
lars or live in the companionship OF
beasts. nc asserted.
There has been a gradual rise in rents
for some years past. but lately the land
lords have put on % or 90 per cent in
crease at a bound. During the past
twenty-five years the population has been
increased by 10000 for whom no pro-
vision has been made. Sixty thousand OF
these have taken refuge in underground.

average of six persons to each cellar.
The problem is a complex one. There
is very little private building. Enter
prise is hindered by the heavy taxes on
building materials.
