TEAR DOWN CHINATOWN, SAYS TENEMENT HOUSE COMMISSIONER. By Edmond J. Butler. The records of this Department prove conclusively that it would beof great public benefit to demolish the entire district known as Chinatown, and open a park on the land made vacant. The district as it stands is a menace to the city, and with the force .at our disposal it is impossible to rectify many serious abuses there. This Department has met with great difficulty in dealing with Chinatown conditions. The proposition of The Evening World 1s the est method of dealing with the difficulty. It solves the problem, and I favor it. thew are incap: « lowest ¢ HAD $411,000, iz but si Gas at Cottage in Far Rockaway. Tenement House Commissioner Ed-] big bowl.
