BOROUGH GOSSIP
Movement Against Bad Lighting
in Tenement Houses.

The BROOKLYN Bureau Of Charities has
rlanned a movement against the bad light
ing arrangements of the tenement houses
Of this borough. The bureau estimates that
there arc 49727 absolutely dark rooms and
u 40 poorly lighted and ventilated rooms
Darkness and poor ventilation make breed
ing places for the tuberculosis germs Tha'
such is the case almost every one who can
read and hear must know by TINS tline'
hut the dark rooms are evidence that some
persons are closing their eyes TO conoi-
tions or else ignoring results. II Is common
knowledge that many builders OF teneinen'
houses comply with the law which demands
window for every room until the city
has passed their work. Then they put up
partitions and make dark rooms.
Ex-President Roosevelt VIII help initiate
the movement He will come to Brooklyn
tomorrow afternoon. ACCOMPANIED by COM
