TENEMENTHOUSE REFORIL

The Committee of Nine, appointed at the

gard 10 tenement-hOuse reform has recently completed
a final report
In pursuance Of the effort remedy existing defects,
the Committee the report says, prepared and intro
duced bill for amending the Tenement-House act Of
1867 1t has been finally passed by both houses after
some modification OF its provisions. The bill is less
complete than it might otherwise have been, but it
throws henceforth the responsibility for OyercrOwdng
and for the continuance of some OF the most glaring
evils of the system, the Board Of Health whose eff
cheney I'm the discharge OF its duty will now he thor
ourhly tested The bill now only awaits the Governors
signature TO become "a law.
Concerning permanent Improvement in the aims and
methods of tenement-house building two plans were
suggested by committee both practicable and de-
srable. The plan. framed on purely benevolent basis
has not however received sufficient support from the
public to Justify the committee IN advocating it further
The other strictly commercial basis has already
borne fruit in various directions. The committee has
oroapized an association on the lines sheched in the
last report housing persons unable TO paw more than
