Incorrect spelling of deceased's surname. She was Mrs. Georgina LOCKE, nee Wendel, wife of Alexander Locke, and daughter of Jürgen Georg (George) Wendel and Bridget Wendel nee Kilkenny of Colbinabbin. Georgina Locke was my great-grandmother.

Some inaccuracies in this article: (1) Georgina Locke was aged 47, not 45; (2) her "small son" was actually aged 17, and he was seriously injured; (3) none of her three daughters was in the jinker at the time of the accident.

CLEANING UP THE CITY.

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.

DR. 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."

connection with the prosecution of waiters
liquor without licenses at the Savoy Cafe
and Cafe Francatelli on various dates during
officers associated with him. 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.

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.

chance, and he was sentenced to three months hard
labour. His companion, Torley, received a
sentence of six weeks.

behalf by Mr. F. R. Coldham, who entered
the box, and stated that he had personally
