Social Survey Of City

Francis II. Mclean of New York,
who is taking a social survey of the
city. has been busy during the past
few days gathering statistics along
diherent lines. Mr.. Mclean says that he
finds the poor department i'll good con-
dition and the sanitary condition of
the city good with the exception of a
number Of houses which are below the
level Of the street. He says that hous-
ing IS one Of the most compiicat cd
problems to adjust and one which will
occupy a good deal of attention in the
next few years.
The fire escape services for buildings
over two stories high are more obvious
by their absence than by their pres
ence. Mr.. Mclean says. The matter of
Fairgrounds is also receiving Mr.. Nc
Leans attention and he reports that he
finds some excellent locations for this
most necessary means of giving the
children recreation.
