dcmning fifteen Of the most pestilcnt rOokeres

them has been established by the courts, as 1t

similarly against other unfit habitaions. There
should bc no haltng in the righteous work until
every rear tenement in the city is demolished;
and even then the task will be- only we'll begun.
There are hundreds Of tenement houses on the
streets that arr about as bad AZ those M the
rear of lots. They are unfit for human occu-
pancy, and they cannot be made fit They should
be torn down and decent structures erected In
their place Indeed. IL may be said that the
bulk of the older tenement house region of New
York is a disgrace to the municipality. and ur-
gently demands renovation for the sake of

portunity of voting for candidates from

Clerk of the Superior Court and the
District Solicitor. Rockingham was
one Of the first counties TO fall into fu-
sion. and the success cooperation
