(Per Press Association)
WELLINGTON, February 2.
Thct economy of land space in Wellington was the burden of some remarks made- by Miss A. Kirk at the meeting of the Trustees of the Benevolent Institution this afternoon. There was, she said a large bcardinghouse in Wellington standing on a narrow allotment. Behind that again a four-roomed house, then a narrow strip of yard, and lastly v, shed. In this shed, which she visited, tho only admission of air was by the door. The windows did not open. It was quite r. small fhed and inhabited by thre? people. Thero was but one room and no conveniences at all. The rent was Gs a week. Several Trustees thought tho ense was ons > for tho City Council to take up, especially as there was practical!v no ventilation when.the dcor was closed.
