REVELATIONS.
Proposed 'Sacred Area':required to give the Corporation the Hundreds Found Living
Too Deep Basements.
The formation of a "sacred arca" round St. Paul's Cathedral for the purpose of preserving the building from danger is now receiving the serious, attention of the City Cor poration. It is proposed that a space shall be defined within which no excavations shall be permitted which would imperil the safety of the fabric.
The Cathedral authorities have lang recognised the importance of the subject, the urgency of which has frequently been referred to. The large expenditure on the re- storation of the building has led to a revival of the question, particu larly in view of the expiration of lenses of premises near the Cathe dral and the possible erection of buildings which would require deep basemonts.

FOOTBALL-To-morrow - In. terport Trial. Game-Army The Rest, 4.30 p.m. Early last year Canon Alexander, on behalf of the Dean and Chapter, sent to the Carporn. tion a resolution of the representa- tive committee to the effect that the Corporation should be approached "with a view to ascertaining if de Anite steps can be taken to control the construction of basements in the vicinity of the Cathedral." It was pointed out that the Dean and Chapter, have been warned re- peatedly by their advisers to guard against dangers arising from un-1 derground operations in the neigh- bourhood of the Cathedral, but as things are at present they have no power to find out the nature of any such work, and have to depend for their information on the courteay of the owners of the property being reconstructed.
It has been stated that the level) of the lowest floor of a building is determined by the Corporation, but that the Corporation has no control over the foundations, and that builders must go down low enough to secure the safety of the super- structure. For the purpose of re- danger to St. Paul's. moving any
the Cathedral authorities have urged that powers should be obtained to ensure that no deep underground works are constructed within a de- fined area around the building.
The subject is being considered by a committee of the City Cor- poration and a plan has been pre- pared showing an area around the Cathedral in which-It is suggested there should be no excavations that' would be a source of danger to the building. The plan, it is under. stood; has been a subject of dis

in Empty Sewers.
Hundreds of people living in empty sewer pipes;
Thousands altogether homeless or living in huts;
Thousands unemployed.
These were some of the discover- les made during the taking of the great Japanese Census, the results of which have now been announced. More than 250,000 people were employed taking the census which has cost approximately £400,000, Only three people were exempted from the Census, the Emperor Hirohite, the Empress Nagako and the Dowager Empress Sadako. The 62 princes and princesses of the blood, including two young daughters of the Emperor, were all listed and were required to fill in forms giving their ages. occupa- tions and places of residence.
One of the greatest problems of the census was the difficulty of trac Ing the thousands of Japanese who live on the great canals and rivers. These men. with their wives and children, live in the boats and move from place to place, a special "flying aquad" was engaged to deal with these people and also to daal with the waifs who sleep in parks and temple compounds Many of these children had to be tempted in- to the open with gifts of rice cake. Experts estimate that the pre sent census will require four years to tabulate-British United Press.
