CONGESTED HOUSING.

MENACE TO HEALTH AND MORALS

(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)

HAMILTON, this day.

The inadequate housing conditions prevailing throughout New Zealand as a primary cause of present day immorality was discussed by the New Zealand Women's Conference in Hamilton yesterday. One speaker mentioned a certain case in which eleven people lived in one house of four small rooms, while she kpew of numerous other instances of this disgraceful condition of affairs.

A resolution was passed, "That the housing conditions especially in the big centres, were a direct menace to health and morality."
