repairs even to prevent the buildings from tumbling down have been compelled to make extensive alterations and ments and to have the work done under the penalty of having it done for them by the authorities and the cost charged against the property The action of the council has raised a howl of indignant protest from wealthy and often titled owners but the radical ment which pervades the
