A City Commission

According to tn e police re-
port for March, crime has taken
an upsurge. Up to March 81,
there had been "a more burgla-
ries than in the corresponding
period last year.
Many of these crimes were
committed in the Negro ghetto.
Why? Because we have slum
areas. Why do we have so many
slum areas, so many dimly lit
streets, SO many offenders among
the group? There are several
