Let me.call attention to.a condition that existed in my homecity along. similar lines. When San Francisco was :having a very large -influx :of Chinese immigrants :they found homes in -a congested section of :the.city. There were soeie alleys in :that section. The houses after a while -beca me an absolute nuisance. The board of :supervisors of the city -of San Francisco passed ordinances -declaring how -many cubic feet of air there should be forevery individual vho inhabited any room. It also gave the board of health power to:couden property. Itdidnot go:into.allof thesedetails that the!gentleman has suggested. and yet under the .legislation that was .enacted :by our .local board -in -the shape -of ordinances it -was enabled largely to eradicate all of (thenuisances that existed in that .section :of -San .-rancisco.
