Chairman Breen pointed out that
the occupancy of apartments and the
management of these four projects
constituted the final phase of a pro-
gram which began IA months ago
with taking by eminent domain of
approximately "a acres of land, in the
latter part of May, 1889. Payments
of approximately $3,250,0O0 have
already been made to owners of land
and mortgages. The City of Boston
has received about $4,000 for taxes
and water rents. Approximately 5000
dwelling units originally on the sub
standard sites, of which approximately
1850 were occupied in January. 1899
were demolished, and the families re-
housed, with the necessity of only one
compulsory eviction. The construc-
ton program involves about fifteen
million dollars of construction costs,
with employment to thousands of per-
sons in the building trades, skilled and
unskilled, as well as to persons en-
ployed in the fabrication of building
materials, and to architects, drafts
men, engineers, surveyors and clerical
employees.
Chairman Breen also took this occa-
sion to announce that the Authority
had received approval from the United
States Housing Authority to proceed
with the development of project in
the South End in the area bounded by
Maiden Street, Harrison Avenue, East
Brookline Street and Mystic Street.
Housing conditions in this area were
substandard, it was indicated, and it
was within this area that building
recently collapsed.

OUR FAYORITE
One of the favorites, that is so
well liked around this town, spent
the entire evening before his las,
big fight celebrating and pFemet-
ing a private hamburger-eating
contest between his friends. There
were sounds Of surprise when he
laid on the rings bottom unable TO
move or get up; and wondering
what was the double-feature show
ing at the neighborhood theatre.
There was another fighter who
had just begun TO break into big
time dough who spent so much Of
his ring earnings in one Of the
city's cabarets that the owner took
a percentage of his S35OOO and en-
larged his place, and sold all his
drinks fifteen cents higher.
