HOUSING OF SLACKERS
"The real difficulty in the housing problem is that of poverty or unemployment or lack of initiative in finding work," says the Town Clerk (Mr. E. P. Norman) in a report for the guidance of the City Council dealing with housing schemes in many countries "Private enterprise is quite hopeless against this aspect of the housing problem, and the only solution it can offer is that of 'rooming' larger numbers of persons in existing houses. Some of the larger municipalities provide municipal lodging-houses where the accommodation is not so good as that of other municipal houses, and places in them tenants who fail to keep the better houses in satisfactory condition, or who are evicted for failure to pay the rent when they are in a position to earn it. These institutions have a salutary effect on the slacker type of individual."
