of them arose and declared they would work as
they had never done before for an honest city ad-

The sting OF It all Is that the law enforcers (-up-
posed bel hand in hand with the law break

DIR. Paddock said he spoke for the district south
OF First-st and east of the Bowery. He told of the
conditions in the past. and then said
The streets are unspeakably dirty. increasingly
dirty to-day. Why. for the sake of policy.
they have not been made better is beyond my COM
prehension. They never dirty. never so
filthy. and 7 have never known a time when the
sidewalks were blocked with boxes and barrels
Mr.. Paddock then spoke ot the children and the
conditions under which they are brought up, with
no room to develop healthy bodies and minds. no
school facilities. 10 was no wonder. he said, that
they grew up In vice and crime.
Mr.. Reynolds said that at the beginning OF Mayor
Strong's administration fifty thousand children
without school accommodations. In the last
fal of the administration he believed. every child
was accommodated. In the last four years there
has been a retrograde movement; more than nifty
three thousand children have been barred oc
school or put on half time.
Mr.. Reynolds declared that the scattering OF
women OF shame was not due TO DR.; Parkhurst.
but TO Deputy Police Commissioner Devery, who
station. Devery before the Lexow Committee. had
denied the presence OF any houses OF Ill fame in
his precinct. In order TO make good" he had TO
scatter the women around. Mr.. REYNOLDS said he
living in the precinct at the time, and knew
what he talking about.
THE last four years. said Mr.. Reynolds. have
been depressing, because before that We had
the budding OF hopeful conditions. and have
seen ft all swept away. But am optinnist. and
believe will see the dawnng of a better day
next week"
