‘00.000 CRY FOR CHERRY HILL PAR Srowded Residents of Lower East Side Need Breathing Space to Lower Death Rate and Decrease Crime. MANY DIE OF CONSUMPTION. Bettlement Workers Ask for Opening Like That of Mulberry Bend, Which Materially Increased the Health of District Round About. Imagine close to 100,000 persons erowded together in a space equal only to the smallest town in the State, with- ‘out breathing room, wita various wind- fing streets, on every side ancient tene- ments, thousands of children playing in the roadways, dirty and unkempt, a great proportion of them suffering from tuberculosis, and you have some {dea et thé conditions that make a new park a necessity on the lowet east side. ‘What is wanted 4s a breathing space that will draw from Cherry Hill, the Gap and New Bowery, a people who live distinctly by themselves, a mixture of Hebrewd, Irish, Jtaligns, Hungarians and native-born Americans, the poorest ‘of tae poor, men, Women and children, who never see a blade of grass or a fower except on the stand of a vender. Never in the history of a growing city has a park been so badly needed in any portion of the island as it is in that section comprising part of the Seventh and the Fourth Wards. That the move- ment to get a park in this section will be successful there is rio doubt. —~ . Work of Riis. ‘When Jacob A. Riis, after year: Wor, not only with the local au ties, but also with the powers that be fm Albany, managed to have the ram- hackle bulldings of Mulberry Bend torn own and the space turned into a park, Wew York settlement workers and mis- Wonaries among the poor fully realized for the first time how necessary are parks in the over-populated districts for the health of residents.

There Is a bit of green in front of the doors of the tenements, and & place for the children to romp and play without fear /of the heavy trucks, After the benefits of Mulberry Bend Park were reelized the city authorities under two administrations followed up the good work with other parks in crowded sections, and added gym- nasiuma and playgrounds to the grass and tr Perhaps tho park that brought the most relief to the lower caet side was the William H.
