But in this city there IL Of Course no
opportunity for the department To take
things m It's own hands. IL must simply
s..e that the law Is obeyed. And In -
own American way this method lE woTklrg
out. Many Of the new tenemeuts have
been erected on sites Of the Old ones la

The officials 81 the department ar" n0t
