Anderson, this morning made a visit to various closely settled areas containing poor types of houses in various portions of Christ church.

" My purpose was not to see slums, but to see whether it would be wise to consider the continuance of the Rent Restriction Act in compliance of the promise I made to the House," explained Mr. Anderson after the inspection. Asked for an expression of any opinions lie had formed the Minister laughingly replied, " I will not be expressing any opinion when the time comes. I will simply act."
