Parisians Plan Extermination of Insanitary Dwellings. Correspondence of the Associated Press. PARIS.—“Houses that kill” are slow- ly being demolished in Paris, but there remain yet several score buildings where there are hundreds of bedrooms | without ventilation or sunlight. Grouped along the ancient “Street of the ovens” are tenements that soon are to be torn down. There were five thousand such bulildings 30 years ago | when the city began collecting reports | on cach separate house. These were' reduced to a few score before the war but the housing shortage has delayed further action. Construction of railroads and olherJ‘ public works in Colombia has caused a labor shnmE there.
