Sir Henry Littlejohn, Medical Officer of Health for the Local Government Board for Scotland and for Edinburgh, was examined yesterday in an inquiry at Liverpool into the proposal by the Corporation to take in the adjoining township of Garston. Sir Henry said he had been acquainted with Liverpool for the last 20 years, and he knew no Corporation which had met the problem of insanitary property and the housing of the poor more manfully. They had been an enormous expense. He had never seen such a population as in the slums of Liverpool, and he said this after visiting most of the capitals in Europe. He knew Glasgow and Edinburgh pretty well, but they were not to be compared to Liverpool. He never saw anything like the lowest orders of Liverpool, more specially the women. He consider that his life had been ind anger when he passed through the slums, and the work which lay in front of the medical officer of that city was great.
