great rejoicing among the small percentage Of tho population who
get into them. But there is no danger that Manhattancsc will be.
come web-footed from frcqucnting the swimming tanks.
All the time the ocean breezes-whch constitute the real at
traction of Concy or any bcach-are blowing up the bay, Or the
mountain breezes down the North River, and hardly anybody knows
it, because to find out it is necessary to 20 up on the roofs.
There arc 4 few theatre and ho.c! root gardens, but in cTcr.
these are wcather-proof, and of no account as outdoor resorts. The
new apartment houses that provide roof facilities for anything besides
drying the laundry output are notable exceptions.
About the only sections of the city where the vast roof acreage
's utilized for health and pleasure to any appreciabc extent is in
tho crowded tcncment districts, where necessity has urged it, or
mission settlement work has set the example. In some of the huge
business blocks the ianitors or superintendent live with their fam
lilies on or near the roofs, and their aerial hammock swinging, sleep
ing cots and childrens Fairgrounds afford an instructive object les
son to any observant person who may chance to climb n high tower
and look down upon the life around.
These hints ought sooner or later to impress the builders Of our
100000 metropolis. In Africa and the Orient, as we'll as in South
ern Europe, from time immemorial the outdoor life of the people
has been lived mainly on the roofs. There, as proportionately i
the case here, the narrow, stuGy. canyonlikc streets afford avenues
for necessary traffic, and that is about all they are good for.
