LATIN QUARTER TO GO.

Paris, July 9.-The Latin quarter,
that Mecca of American visitors in
the French capital, has been doomed.
Within another six months it is i'm
probable that trace of the pictur-
esque section will remain. House

ing out the municipal Improvement
plan which has been decided upon.
The time has come to clear out the
old ana squalid neighborhood across
the Seiene, where beautiful new
streets will be laid out and fine build
ings will rise. The property which
will belong to the city will be so ad-
ministcred as to bring in revenue,
whereas, it is now merely clearing ex-
penses.
one of the head architects Of the
city of Paris said today:
For many years English, American
and German students and visitors
loved to live in the narrow streets
and liked to rough it in blissful igno-
rance Of bath and BARRIERS tools, but
they no longer desire such a life.
They prefer hygienic apartments that
are light and cheap.
