INSANITARY HOVELS While it would not be fair to Melbourne to say that, almost in the heart of the city, there is a slum, there are certainly areas which call for condemnation by the health officers of the City Council. This work is being undertaken vigorously by the health committee of the council, and, since the arrival of Dr. Sinclair (who has charge of the city in this respect) two months ago. 57 final notices have been served on owners of property in the metropolitan area, and another batch of 20 notices, preliminary and final, are just ready to go out. The Lord Mayor (Councillor D. V. Hennessy) says that, so far as he can make it, Melbourne was going to be a clean city. He did not he said wish to do any- thing oppressive, nor to injure any rights held by property holders, but there was a which either had to be renovated or had to go altogether. The chief centre of ugliness and squalor is, as it always has been, that area bounded by Bourke and Lonsdale streets and Russell and Spring streets, where the Chinese herd together in old insanitary buildings. Much has been done to cleanse the place, and nobody who remembers it ten or twelve years ago wall deny that now it is comparatively healthy. But the ignorance of the Chinese concerning the city health officers, is as dense as ever it was. In some of the houses they place their sanitary conveniences close alongside their kitchens, and there is one notable instance where this has occurred in a cookshop. There are walls built of match- wood, covered with scrim, infested with insect vermin, floors lying upon the ground with no ventilating space between; walls mossy with the damp which creeps up the old perished bricks; bedrooms in which sleep, with hardly any ventilation, with ceilings 7ft. above the floor. There are Chinese tenants, in which the stretchers used by the victims of the drug have sustained the weight of generations of smokers, rat-infested areas, and ground-floor rooms which are never swept; cupboards in which old rags, bones, tins, and ancient rubbish fester unbeautifully. |

CUSCADEN'S REASONS. At a recent meeting of the Preston Shire Council a lengthy letter was read from Mrs. Ellen Mather, secretary of the Preston school committee, criticising the action of the health officer (Dr Cuscaden) for recommending that the Tyler street school be closed without first inspecting the school, especially when the classes wore in the midst of their annual examinations, and suggesting that the health officer might use some of his new-found zeal in advising the council to keep the drains in the neighbourhood of the school in a sanitary condition. Dr. Cuscaden sent a reply to the council on Monday evening, as follows:— "Regarding the Tyler street State School.— Over 20 cases of scarlet fever have been reported as occurring among the families of those attending the school within a very short period. The council, on my recommendation, very wisely decided to have the school closed. I advised that the school be closed for 14 days. The Education department closed it for six weeks. The Education department has now very thoroughly cleansed the school — a cleansing which was needed. The gutter in front of the school has nothing to do with the matter. The personal tone of the letter is a matter for regret, but I assume the writer was merely expressing her own opinion, and not that of the school committee. The health of the children should be considered before any examination." |

When the proceedings opened in the District Court, before Mr. Dwyer, P.M., and Messrs. Smithwick, Martin, Bates, Edwards, and Rogers, J.P.'s, counsel for the prosecution, Mr. Meagher, said that he wished to apply to the whole of these cases. In view cases heard on the previous day, it was recognised that it would be futile for the prosecution to continue. The opinion of responsible police officers was that, as the acts of the waiters as waiters were concerned, would have to be carried further, the whole matter to the Supreme Court. Mr. Dwyer, P.M.— I was wondering why Mr. Meagher.— Quite so. Mr. Dwyer, P.M.— No good purpose can be served by having a dozen orders to review. Mr. Meagher.— I am going to ask for an weeks. I think that will be long enough. Mr. Brayshay.— I am perfectly in accord, and I want to make a similar application in regard to summonses against Mr. Hossen- Loff, of the Savoy, and Mr. Karl Kleye, the manager of the Francatelli Cafe. These summonses are returnable next Monday. Mr. Meagher.— These are not the only summonses to be served on those gentlemen. These summonses are against the masters, who are the principals, and consequently they are on a different footing from those against the employees. Mr. Brayshay.— What are the odds? Get an adjournment and see where you are. Mr. Meagher.— With regard to the suggestion by Mr. Brayshay, I cannot agree to it. The liability of the principals places them on a different footing. Mr. Dwyer, P.M.— You may hamper Mr. Brayshay in something he may wish to do. Mr. Meagher.— At present two summonses have been served, one on the proprietor of proprietor of the Francatelli for another incident. I hope the Bench will recognise how necessary it is for these cases to be brought to as speedy a trial as possible, since the Crown has to keep a number of witnesses together at considerable expense. Mr. Brayshay said that the information against the principals was similar to that which was preferred against the two waiters and dismissed the previous day, and the circumstances were all interwoven. He wished in the interests of the principals to see that no injustice was done, or that their defence was not hampered. He did not want to see any split in the cases. Mr. Dwyer, P.M.— It is purely a matter of law. Mr Brayshay.— I see no reason why all time. Mr. Dwyer, P.M.— I don't see any reason why these cases should not be heard on Monday. The summonses will be returnable then. (To Mr. Meagher).— You want an adjournment of the other cases for four weeks? Mr. Meagher.— Yes. Mr. Dwyer, P.M.— Very well. Further charges of having sold intoxicating liquor without a license were then read out against the following: Stephen Nadler, 31 years; Philip Wallace Collins, 40 years; Lionel Aarons, 29 years; Charles McKenzie, 19 years; Frederick Goepel, 23 years; David S. Gordon, 27 years. Mr. Brayshay announccd that he appeared in all the cases, weeks. Bail amounting to £25 was allowed each defendant. MORE SUMMONSES ISSUED. The chief commissioner of police (Mr. A. G. Sainsbury) stated yesterday that summonses had been issued against the proprietors of two of the cafes which were raided a fortnight ago. In the case of the against R. Hossen-Loff, and reads as follows:— "For that on June 22, 1913, he, not being a licensed person or the agent or servant of a person licensed in that behalf, did unlawfully sell liquor of an intoxicating nature without license authorising such against Karl W.Kleye, proprietor of the Francatelli Cafe. The defendants will appear before the City Court on July 11. |

At the St. Kilda Court yesterday, before the mayor (Councillor O'Connell) and Messrs. Billson, Pittard, Willis, and Kidd, J.P.'s, three young men, Sydney Ward, Thomas Owen, and Jack Wilson, were charged with offensive behaviour. The misconduct was alleged to have taken place in and Chapel street on Sunday evening, June 22. Sub-Inspector Westcott, who prosecuted, said that owing to the rowdyism of a number of youths, who at different times assembled in the shelter, Mr. Sainsbury, chief commissioner, had instructed the police to keep a special eye on the place. Plain-clothes Constable White stated that he, in company with Sergeant F. Dainty, of East St. Kilda, and Constable Peach, watched the shelter. There were between 40 and 50 young fellows in it, shouting out, and otherwise making themselves a nuisance. It was raining at the time, and passengers for the trams had to stand outside in the rain. The three accused were secured, Ward gave his right name, Wilson's correct name was found to be Carmichael, and Owen's correct nama was Reginald Osborne. Carmichael, after some difficulty, was traced to Malvern road, Gardiner. The Mayor.— It's a pity you did not lock them up. Osborne said that one of the police gave him a cut with a walking-stick. Each defendant was lined 10/, in default fourteen days' imprisonment. A TOUGH "CHICKEN."

White has nearly a score of convictions to his discredit, mostly for petty larceny. Torley likewise has two or three The evidence of James Kingsley Cooper, stevedore in charge of the Melbourne Steamship Company's coal-yard, Ann street, was to the effect that he found the accused at about a quarter past 12 p.m. of the 5th inst., White filling the bag, and Torley holding it, with broken coal. White had been put to turn up. Other evidence being given by William Henry Chandler and Senior-constable Stevens, Sergeant Curtin asked the Bench to seriously consider the advisability of bringing White under the ban of the indeterminate sentences law. The Bench determined to give him one more chance, and he was sentenced to three months hard labour. His companion, Torley, received a sentence of six weeks. |
