BRITISH AIM DRIVE
AT SLUM DISTRICTS
Program Calls for Better Homes,
Special Aid to Aged
and Poor.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. April 2.-The British Labor
government is making a determined
drive at the slums in England and in
Scotland. A bill will be introduced in
the House of Commons shortly which
seeks to provide better homes for the
dwellers on the streets, where hope has
fed"
The bill would extend the powers Of
the municipal authorities to cope with
conditions which should be remedied.
1t would make provision for con-
tinuous program of house building for
relief of slum conditions. Grants to
municipalities would be required to see
that those who we're transferred from
the present slums to new houses would
be given their homes at reasonable
rentals. The aged and poor would be
given special assistance in housing.
The slums will be cleared by requir-
ing the owners to demolish buildings or
by purchase by the municipal authority
as the case may be.
Once the order to demolish becomes
operative, should the owner fail to act
the local authority would be empowered
to clear the slums and recover the cost
from the owner.
