Shows a dilapidated house by a sign for Adelaide Road. Movers are shifting furniture out of it, while a Plunket nurse cheerfully weighs a baby in the foreground. Boys play beneath a washing line, and a tram in the background carries a sign to "Use D.D.T. today". In the distance factory chimneys pour smoke into the sky. ; Dated from text which mentions 1937 as "nine years ago".
