In determining the extent of overcrowding it is regretted the survey must regard the use of living rooms as bedrooms. It would appear that where rooms are not normally used in the locality as bedrooms or living rooms the Loral Authority need not include such rooms in assessing the accommodation in any house.

This contrasts favourably with 21 deaths in the year 1933. I feel I must repeat that the general public look upon influenza far too lightly.
