TITLE IS FOUND
 FOR BARTRAM LAND

Tn searching the record of the title of one of the tracts of land in Black Rock formerly owned by the Bartram family, a portion of which is the land on Brewster street where the Black Rock school now stands. The Brfdge port Land and Title company was unable to Ind any deed on the rec ords by which the Bartrams originally acquired the title to this property.
 Every old resident could tell that this land belonged to the Bartrams as it has been occupiedssby different members of their family for over ninety years. but outside of that fact. no record could be found.
 After 8 careful search, a deed has been found by one of the Bartram heirs that had never been recorded on the town records, by which John s. Wilson conveyed the property in question to Thomas Bartram on Feb ruary Is. 1873. The deed is in g per- feet state of preservation and the writingf as legibIe as if it had been executed only yesterday instead of over one hundred years ago. .

WORK ON PARKWAY
WILL BE RESUMED
EARLY IN SPRING
$988,000 to Be Expended
Soon in Developing Boule-
ward West From Logan
Square.

The $4,000 item in the s11,3OoO0O loan
for acquisition of property and improve
ment of the Parkway will provide work
for the city's unemployed in the early
spring.
The beginning of actual work depends
on Councils passage of appropriation
bills OF the loan items. a balance of
S1SS,OCO is now in the City Treasury from
a loan of 100000 for actual development
OF the Parkway, and not for purchase of
properties. The Mayors policy will be
to use that amount with the $4,000 in
developing the boulevard west of Logan
Square.
The city has acquired title to about 10
per cent. of the properties that must be
removed for complete development of
the Parkway over it's entire length, from
Broad and Filbert streets to Fairmount
Park.
Nearly all the 161 properties remaining
to be acquired are east of Logan Square.
Purchases of buildings are made by the
Parkway Commission, consisting of the
Mayor, the City Solicitor and City Con-
troller. 1t Is planned to have the pur-
chase price represent only an amount
equal TO 10 per cent. over the assessed
valuation.
How strictly Mayor Blankenburg has
adhered to this principle Is evident from
the following table. showing purchase of
buildings on line Of the Parkway:

Mamma is sick" said the child she's
worrying about papa, and she's crying
and pulling at her hair IT'S a lie, what
the police said Papa didn't teach us to
steal, and we thun't steal. We didn't have
a chance to explain. Papa can't under

us out"
The two children were released yester-

APARTMENT HOUSES
TO CHANGE ASPECT
OFRITTENHOUSE 50.
Valuable Sites in Exclusive
Residential Section Will
Soon Be Improved, Ex-
perts Believe.

The four sides of Rittonhouse Square,
for two generations the hub OF Phlladel-
phia's most exclusive and expensive resi-
dence section will probably undergo
many changes within the next few years.
All the way back to 1852, when the
square was inclosed with high iron
paling fence. It was surrounded by fine
residences and few would have believed
that three generations ahead would work
out the position It occupies in the real
estate world OF today.
The change would have taken a much
longer time. but for the aid of the auto
mobile, which enabled many who consid-
ered this section as homo to get c"sily in
and out from their country places.
At first, when prices were shaded on the
sides of the square, brokers picked up
what were considered bargains. In n
short time It became known that num-
Der were on the market without bills up-n
them, and the situation assumed dulness.
Buyers and sellers were too far apart,
and that condition more or less prevails
today.
APARTMENT HOUSE DEVELOPMENT
Such locality could not long occupy
q position OF doubt as to its usefulness.
With an open space on Walnut street and
o, South Rittenhouse square of $40 feet;
and on 18th street and 10th street $50 feet,
containing over six and one-half ac! es,
the finest kind OF development in apart
ment houses was possible.
Assessed values in 1907 and 1919 wore:

Civic Workers and Others
Renew Efforts When Fl

Demand for Appropriation

Civic workers today denounced Councils
Finance Committee which yesterday
ignored appropriations for the new
Division of Housing and Sanitation.
1t was announced by the Philadelphia
Housing Commission, Of which George w.
Norris, Director Of the Department of
wharves, Docks and Ferries, is president
that the fight in behalf OF cleaner and
better tenements would be continued.
Proof OF the condition of hundreds OF
filthy tenemcnts in the congested section
will be brought forth daily. 1t is planned
by tho Housing Commission to gather
new statistics which will show that scores
of deaths and serious ailments are direct
ly due to the present tenement house evil.
Photographs of unfit houses will be ex-
hiblted in various parts of the city, and
taxpayers will be given an opportunity
to see certain evils which the Finance
Committee ignored.
A CAMPAIGN ISSUE.
There is to be no let-up, civic workers
declared, in the movement for better
homes for the poor. 1t is probable that
tho present tenement house evil will be a
factor during the next Mayoralty cam
paign.
Records OF existing conditions are now
being compiled by investigators, and 1t
Is planned to make public the attitude of
every candidate for Councils toward the
new Division of Housing and Sanitation.
Under the new department, IL appropri-
atons had been granted, the Department
of Health and Charities would have had
more power in Furnishing landlords who
refuse to make improvements. The ap-
preparation asked was S21S,71O. This
amount would have enabled the Deart-
ment of Health and Charities to employ
more inspectors to maintain a watch on
landlords.
