MAY 11. 1917. [l AGAINST THE WCODEN FENCE T Jif\ New York Society Seeks to Substitute Wire for Boards Around Yards of Tenement Houses. Wooden fences, such’ as mark off yards in the rear of most tenement houses, have been condemned by the tenement house committee of the ‘Charity Organization Society of New York. “Long dreary rows of hideous board fences, which invite fire and the accummulation of rubbish,” must go and in their place be substituted by open wire fences, the committee de- clares. “Every owner of an apartment or tenement house, every builder and architect will be called upon in this campaign. It is the purpose to wage a crusade for several months, investi- gators being coavinced that the open iwire fence will do much to provide more attractive and sanitary rear yards through the city. “A constant fire danger, an excellent hiding piace for thieves, an encour- agement to the accumulation of rub- bish, quickly weatherworn and trans- formed into an eyesore, the board fence makes tenement yards worse than useless. “Children find them unattractive to play in; they are no incentives for % planting grass and flowers; they de- ; / {tract from the tenant’s supply of light 1 and air, and are in every way unde- sirable. “With the change to metal fences tenement yards will become attractive grounds for children, will encour- iage competition among tenants in eeping the premises clean, and in ad- ‘dition will allow the light and air to lcirculate freely. “The use of metal fences in tene- jment yards- should do more. to solve ithe problem of providing play space [for children than any movement that has been undertaken in years.” STREET THAT NEEDS NO CURB New Pavement Has Inverted Crewn So That Water Drains Through the Middle of the Thoroughfare. $360.00 $360.00 Again we are taking orders and making deliveries, in a few days.
