day continued their inspection of the tenement
houses The party first went TO No. 80 Park-st.
This is tive-story double tenement-house and oc-
cupies the front and part of the LOT: he rooms
are small Both houses are densely populated. They
are samples of the houses If that class TO be found III
that vicinity neither better nor worse. One OF the
families in the tenementhouse was SAID TO have
lived there for thirty years. These tenants pay an
average of 81 month for room and bedroom.
The six-stOry tenement house, No. ii Lnd Iow-st.,
is Occup ed by Polish Jews. hey are huddled INTO
close, il-smelling rooms. Dirt abounds IN all.
These tenents seemed naturally dirty They have
given the Street Cleaning Department a great deal
of trouble by dumping ashes garbage and filth of
all kinds in the street In front OF the house. The
closets in the yard were foul beyond description.
The rear building is old and ricketty, and utterly
No. SO Eidridge-st presents a strong contrast to
the one last visit d.. The rooms are not large, but
fhev are well ventilated soap and water seem TO
be used with effect in the halls and staircases.
The old tumbe-down houses in the rear of No. 80
Thompsonst are principal ~ occupied by Italians OF
The poorest class. The place is reached from the
street by a filthy alley. The unanimous opinion #
the visitors was that the buildings should either be
torn down or extensively repaired. AT present they
are unfit for human habitatiOn.

course Here as in many other places the party had
visited the fire escapes found ODE out Of order.
