AS to the division of the city into dis

erected would be restricted Mr.. Drummer
said:
NO one wants to Europeanizc New

already in lower Fifth avenue. There a
beautiful street has been spoiled by sweat
shops. IL they come on up the avenue. as
they are sure to without restriction, they
will spoil the most splendid shopping street
In the world. To allow individuals to spoil
that street would be crime against the
city.
