Priest Objects to improvements.

Rev. J. B. Curry of st. James Cath
Ollie church. New York, is coming in
for good deal of unfavorable notice
because of his protest against tearing
down what is called "the long block"
in Hamilton, Cherry. Catharine and
Market streets. The tenement com
mission has emphaticaily condemned
the block in question as a nursery of
all manner of diseases, especially con
sumption. Fresh air and sunlight are
practically impossible in most of the
rooms, but the priest has rather vi
c,ously attacked those who are en-
deayoring to reform these conditions.
