Melbourne slums decline as workshops replace gambling dens
The article notes a cleansing of Melbourne slums in a central area bounded by Russell Street Little Bourke Street Spring Street and Latrobe Street. Eight hotels closed their doors once used by criminals. Hovels gave way to factories while Little Bourke Street becomes almost respectable with peaceable Chinese cabinet-makers and merchants. Some sly grog shops remain in Little Lonsdale Street and nearby lanes. Disturbances mainly arise from criminal elements from Fitzroy where slums are said to be worst.
