Jt is almost impossible to come to any definite con- clusion from ilie foreo-oino- fable because admittedly the ('siimaies n'ere at the outset only ronp-lily fi'amed and noiild j)robably as the I’csnlt of more detailed investio’a- tion be amended. Takinp- the fi^aires, however, as stated, tile deduction is that with the exception of the lloiouo'li of lle^'erley and the llural Districts of IS^orton, Sherburn and Skirlangli, the actual number of liouses built poes a lonp way towards meetinp any housing deficiency. In the case of Filey the oripinal estimate Avas, I til ink, excessive. It is to be boiled that no effort Avill be spared to improve existiiip cottape accommodation, noAv that liropress has been made toAvards replacinp the housinp deficiency occasioned by the cessation of bnildinp dnrinp the Avar jieriod. There are a number of cottages throuphout the countr\' districts and in the Aullages Avhicli are dilapidated, damp, insanitary, and Avith insufficient liedroom accommodation. TIica^ are onh^ occupied because nothing else is aAaiilable. A cottage Avliiidi consists of a liAu'ng room and a bedroom Avith sloping roof, Avhich is reached by a ladder, is neither suitable, decent nor healthy for a Avorkman Avith a family, and certainly does not tend to create a happy and contented outlook on life. Some of the Avorst cases of oA'ercroAvding in the County Avhich have come to 1113^ notice are given below:
