ing the Boston Police Depart
ment to investigate a game
| going on in an apartment in
the wee hours of the morning.
1885,. you may wonder just what
7 mean by calling it a fool
ish" move. the Lenox Street
Project is in the public eye
and wide open to evil folks
who would like to see tenants
put out, employees fired and
literally the whole business fall
apartch lefty because they did
not get a job on the project or
notice to move in out of
petty jealousy some one out for
trouble has put in numerous
calls to the police and sent LEI
ters to the down town Office
...--.t the police should first no.
tify the man in charge as to
any call they may have receiv-
ed giving him the first chance
to investigate and render a de-
cision in the matter the po-
lice should not go prowling
through any Of the units: there
is a Boston Housing Authority
employee ond uty "a hours of
the day on the other hand,
it is impossible for one man
to keep up with the social do
ings of some 300 odd tenants
between the hours of p m and
8 a. m. particularly when the
man has boiler-room duties TO
perform anil must be on call for
any emergency If the po-
lice tipsters were really con-
cerned in keeping the LenoX
Street project in A No. con-
dition they would have in
formed the employee on that
particular shift as to what vas
going on so that he could
straighten out the situation
without unpleasant publicity.
we are proud to say that thus
far tenants have made a
laughing stock of folks who
spread gossip; it is a known
fact that the Lenox Street spot
is just as clean as the day it
was turned over to Boston by
the o. S. Government .. all
tenants have cooperated fully
with Manager David Lane ana
the employees under his charge
49,. Let us continue to cooper
ate with the management and
if you feel that there is some
thing which should be given
special notice, get in touch
with your local Office right on
the grounds, respect your own
officials and "a hours a day you
will find someone only too
| glad to helpyo u. give your
| City Councillor Daniel F. Sui
Ivan two good legs to stand on
as he fights for housing plans
for you on the council floor .-..
the first chance your reporter
will present plans to you he
has discussed with Councillor
Sullivan to wipe out the name
Lenox Street entirely, a pro-
gram that can go over with
your endorsement and support.
