INSANITARY SHEDS AS DWELLINGS
CHINESE AND MAORIS AT MANGERE COUNCIL TO SERVE CLOSING ORDERS (PRESS A.BSOOXA.TXOV TEUGKAJi.) AUCKLAND, June 21. The problem of Maori and Chinese families living at Mangere in old buildings, often without the permission of property owners, was the subject of a report to the Manukau County Council to-day by the county inspector, who said that the natives in particular were occupying old, insanitary sheds as dwellings. ; The trouble had been aggravated by the influx ■6f Maoris from distant places taking advantage of employment on relief works in the Hillsborough and Onehunga districts. Notices for the cleaning and repair? ing of buildings occupied by the Chinese were also insisted on. In all instances, cleaning bad been done, but in many cases the repairs were not done, and the council, meeting in committee on Friday last, decided to serve closing orders. Some were old storage sheds and one was a cowshed. The council decided to-day to send a copy of the inspector’s report to the Minister for Native Affairs and another to the Akarana Maori Association.
