It seems to be a solution of the difficulties that have al- ways confronted the police in that precinct—Police Commis- sioner Bingham, Borough Pest Ahearn, LS TY | I do not believe a fair-minded man will be found who will op- pose the plan wipe out ? Chinatown.—Borough President Ahearn. ee to City Officials Unanimous in Approval of Evening World’s Plan, and Not a Dissenting Voice Is Expected at Hearing Before. Local Board To-Morrow. Chinatown must go. White slavery must be abolished. The most degraded slum in New York City must be wiped out. The space now occupied by dens, dives, joints, gang headquarters and vicious resorts must be thrown open to air and sunlight. It must be given as a breathing space for the poor and an outlet for the congested traffic between the lower east and west sides. The leading city officials have spproved the plan and back the Evening World in its demand made just three weeks ago. The Mayor, Borough President, Park Commissioner, Tenement-House Commissioner, | Police Commissioner, Health Commissioner and the head of the Department of Finance have given their approval. The local board holds a public hearing to-morrow morning at 11 o'clock at the City Hall, when those | who oppose the plan, if there are any, will try to get in their work. Then is the time for the public to make its demand heard. Friends of the improvement will be present to speak for It. Every friend who is in earnest should be) there and should make his presence felt. The action of the local board is the entering wedge, Without it the slum which now disgraces the | city, and is a menace to health, safety and morals, will remain as a refuge and a shelter for crime, a home| and show place for vice, a danger to womanhood and a shame to the manhood of Greater New York.
