premises.

The Hon'ble Mr. Owen Dunn consider ed that such particulars and details supplied by owners and occupiers should be supplement- ed by measurements of rooms, otherwise the facts would be of no value. In the course of a deeply interesting speech, he said that of recent years much had been said about the evils of overcrowding, and a great deal had been said also in the Corporation about the necessity of their doing something to minimise, if not prevent, it altogether, and he did not think they could now very well reject the pro- visions in this Bill, which were meant to fulfil the object of lessening the evils of overcrowding, without offering some practical alternative. It must be remembered that under Section 379 there already existed provision concerning the prevention of over- crowding. It was because the provisions of this section had not been found to be workable that the addition which were now entered in this clause had been inserted. This addition to the clause provided (1) powers for the Com

These were the points THE Steamship which were noticed by this clause. fle could not ree any objection to the owners of lene meni houses being required to furnish particulars as provided by the law. There was not any stiff restriction such as existed, he believed, almost everywhere else for the regulation of lodging houses, and he therefore, saw nothing objectionable in their gettin. the Commissioner to ask for pat ticulars. They wanted the additional informa- tion by section 379 (8) as proposed in this clause. The particulars were supposed to furnish the evidence whether a building was overcrowded or not. In this they required some information as to the size of the room and the number of

inmates; the figures alone conveying nothing. It was, therefore, necessary that they should add a clause requiring the length, breadth and height of the room to be included in it. The provision of the Bill, as originally, intended, would have meant that 170 persons out of 410 would have to be turned out in the street.

The total number of persons who would have been so displaced was 135,000.
