Notes
Of the people living on the flat or sharing accomodation I would suggest that Walter and family
be given housing, they are a good family, also Alfie Jungarai who works for the Health Dept..
Victor Williams should be evicted and Paddy Hogan and Frankie Raymond (Walker) should be removed
from the area as soon as possible. These men cause more trouble than the rest put together.
Unless Alec Ward can find a job he will have to go as he has a house he is not using. Perhaps
Pilot who works for Len Kittle could be considered as a tenant. I have listed the various widows
with their relatives but in actual fact they live in a single womans wurley out on the flat.
