ments. Parts of the cleared areas were to be devoted to open spaces, street widenings and new streets; the remainder not required for the above purposes was to be resold or disposed of for purposes other than dwelling accommodation for the working classes. The scheme was confirmed subject to certain modifications and to the exclusion of a number of properties from the scheme. The local authority were allowed a period of four years in which to carry out the scheme, which was estimated to cost £77,488 and to entail an annual loss of £3,067, but these figures will fall to be reduced consequent upon the modifications made on the scheme. 4. Queensferry Burgh. This scheme extended to 31.9 square poles, and embraced 22 houses-4 of one apartment and 18 of two apartments. Sixteen of the houses were occupied, the remaining 6 having been already closed. The area was in the centre of the burgh and entered off the High Street. For the rehousing of the dispossessed tenants, the local authority had erected on a new site to the west of the burgh 20 houses, 16 of two apartments and 4 of three apartments. Subject to certain modifications, the scheme was confirmed. It was estimated to cost £8,005 and to involve an annual loss of approximately £317. The area when cleared was to be kept mostly as an open space, a small portion being utilised for the provision of a public lavatory. As the local authority had provided 4 more new houses than were needed for the accommodation of the tenants to be displaced under the scheme, they were required as a condition of the slum clearance grant to close 4 additional insanitary houses elsewhere in the burgh. 5. Renfrew Burgh. This scheme as submitted was for an area of 1.65 acres situated in the centre of the burgh. The scheme embraced 78 houses, besides a number of shops, offices, and yards, &c. included for the purpose of making the scheme effective. Following upon the local enquiry into the scheme, it was decided to exclude a number of the properties. The number of houses remaining in the scheme as confirmed was 65, and for the purpose of rehousing the dispossessed tenants the local authority had erected 60 houses on a new site, under the slum clearance grant, and had made provision under other powers for the accommodation of the remainder of the tenants. The lands included in the scheme are to be used (1) for the erection of shops with houses on the second and third floors; (2) open spaces; (3) street widening; and (4) resale for purposes other than dwelling accommodation for the working classes. The scheme as submitted was estimated to cost £45,018 and to entail a loss of about £2,021 per annum, but these figures will be considerably reduced in consequence of modifications and deletions.

The term also includes persons treated in their own homes where the treatment was conducted by the staff of the treatment centres. *The number of persons suffering from two or more venereal diseases is entered only under the heading "Mixed Infections." These persons are not included in items 3 (a) or 3 (b). The figures include all attendances made by out-patients, including those made for irrigation, local applica tions, &c., under general medical supervision, during the intervals between the ordinary out-patient clinics. These totals do not agree with the totals of items 1 and 2, as most of the centres furnished an age classification of new patients only. ESTIMATED • POPULA TION (JUNE 1925).
