SLUMS AND FLATS.
•Sir,—At various times Auckland h;is been faced with a poition of its fair city disfigured with slum r.reas. A large contributory cause in the past lias been the crowding of houses on small sections, but never has this been perpetrated to the extent it is being done in some areas at the present moment, under pretence of flats. An example of this is a recent construction oi a wooden house, divided by brick walls into four houses, called flats, on a fifth-oi-an-acro section. Constructions of (his type are. not only very detrimental to the districts concerned, but make absolutely null and void the by-laws as to areas of land for dwellings. Healthy Surroundings.
