MODERN PROGRESS TAKING

Little Spot Near the Rver Rich in Recoectons of Bygonc
Days Must Bou Before Delaware Bridge

This is the fourth Of a series Of ar.

Northern Liberties, which is the ar
chaic designation for the section that
lies north of Vine street and east from
Eighth street to the river, is an exam
pie of the decay of neighborhoods in an
industrial civilization.
1t is not, like the foot Of Dc Lancey
street, an instance Of residents holding
out tenaciously against commerce on one
hand and Immigration on the other. or
like Ounce street, Il recrudesccnce plus
paint and plaster, or again like Work.

Of these. that is now in the last stage

The little houses. however, that are

The houses are built around little
cobb,cd courts that have no names and
that never had any SO far as can now

these courts lead into doors OF the

Each court has. of course, its lamp

comes virtually all OF the water supply
