CHEAPER FLATLETS
AGITATION IN LONDON
One-roomed flatlets for women workers to let at 5s a week are advocated by the Over Thirty Association as a solution of the problem of London's women workers who find it Impossible to be well-fed and decently housed on their meagre salaries. The association has found that women with an average wage of 35s a week often pay as much as 15s for a single, poorly-furnished , room._
Miss Rosamund Tweedy,. organising secretary- of the association, told the VDaily Mirror": "In the London County Council area thirteen families out of every 100 consist of one person only, "Many of these are women who live alone in one room, and who are paying extremely high rents for bad accommodation.
"It has been represented to the Ministry of Health that the Housing Law should be changed so that provision might be made for single workers as>a class." /
