TBE TENEMENT HousEs or New YORK.
About two years ago committee was appointed
by thc-State Legislature TO investigate the condi-
ton Of the tenement houses Of New York. with
the view Of correcting the many evils connected
with the system The police have also been di-
rcctcd, from time to time, to report on the sub
jet, and large amount Of information has been
presented to the public from both these Sources
but as yet no action has been taken in regard to
the matter and the tenement houses Of New
York arc as badly ventilated, as unhealthy, as
crowded, and generally as unfit for the habits-
tons OF the poor, as they have ever been.
While these facts are admitted by all, IL is no
less true that tenement houses pay larger profits
on the investment than any other class
Of habitations There Is not dwelling
