certain houses are overcrowded. I ask for an authority

or warrant to enter, which goes to the President, to authorise the entry for the purpose of sanertaining if

the place is overcrowded.

Those are the only powers that people have for going 13q22 into housÜS. Going back to the question of complaints

If you get complaints, and you cannot make anything of them, do you let the thing drop, or have it passed on to the Secretary, to be laid before the Board ?

I would pass the matter on. I would notlet it drop, unless the person complaining has said he would let it

drop.

And dont you think that all complaints should be sent (3423 before the Board, so the Board may have an opportunity

of hearing them?

I think it would be a very good plan.

So that practically gives the person whú complains, #z13424 appeal to the Board?

Yes.

The Board should go into the complaint, and satisfy (3425^ themselves as to it ↑
