HOUSING EVILS TOLD
Secretary of Commission Talks to
Penn Summer School Students. (

More than FIVE thousand residents of this
city live below the level of the street in
very caverns of misery, where the suns
rays never penetrate.
That statement was made last night by
Bernard j. Newman, secretary of the
Housing Commission. in an address be-
fore the University of Pennsylvania Sum-
mer School students in Houston Hall.
In many cases, he said several fami-
lies are to be found in a single room with
out running water. He declared that
there are $4,000 homes without sewer con-
nections, while In many cases a common
hydrant serves for Il group of homes in
which scores of persons dwell.
Mr. Newman mentioned one instance in
which 10 adults and "a children were
found living in two rooms. Such tene-
ment districts, he contended. are unnec-
essary and are due to community short
sightedness.

night voted to reject all Of them and
advertise for a re-submission OF bids.
The members of the board having
made a pretty thorough Investigation
Of the probable cost of the structure
decided that the figures presented by
'the contractors were too high and
that the only way to secure a build
ing within the estimates they had
made was to issue n call for new
bids. Some minor changes were de-
cided upon in the plans and specif-
cations, but they were not material
and not in any wise affect the bids
iof contractors. All bids under the
second call must be fled with Mrs.
Anna H. Burgess. secretary Of the
