In his address to the members of the Sanitary Board, in the Council Chamber yesterday afternoon, Sir Henry also referred to the housing problem as the ultimate result of the introduction of the new Public Health Ordinance. The effect of the new law will be to very largely increase the expenses of house rent to the poor people of the town and increase also the expenses of labour, for
