THERE ARE NO SLUMS IN AUCKLAND, RUT WHAT WOULD YOU CALL THIS? The photo shows the amount of yard space allotted to three houses in the Freeman's Bay district, Auckland. The only entrance to the yard is seen on the left-a narrow lane between two of the houses. The yard is entirely surrounded by houses. The one tap in the centre does duty for all three, whilst the only sanitary arrangement between them are such as shown. There are many similar eases to be found in the poorer districts of Auckland-cases which only a proper system of town planning in the first instance would have prevented.
