"The tenement buildings in Nor-
walh are seldom more than three
stories in height. built of brick. pro.
vidlng tor only one family to a door.
Few. if any. boast inside rooms hav-
ing no direct light or air.
"Nearly all of them are built on
streets where there is water and
a sewer and they are equipped with
plumbing of a sort. The plumbing.
however, is often of an obsolete type
and in bad condition. But it should
here be said that these old bulld-
ings are gradually being torn down
or renovated under the supervision
of our building inspector who is
working under a very definite and
thorough Modern State .Tenement
House law with which our own
building code coincides in many re-
spects."
Here the speaker quoted from the
state tenement house law and ex-
plained Just what its vurpus terms
signified.
‘ Future secure. .
"The state tenement house not of
1921 provides for all the future tene-
ment buildings which will go up in
Norwalk so there is no danger of
our suffering from any of the old
unsanitary conditions prevailing in
so many cities today." said Mrs.
Barrett.
"The on most especially requires
broad open courts. windows racing
directly out of doors and proper san-
itary plumbing.
“One row of buildings with stores
on the ground floor here in Nerwalk.
in the heart of the city's business
section. about which buildings! have
heard unbelievable stories. is being
remodelled i am glad to say. accord-
ing to new building requirements.
"The buildings are to be provided
with proper plumbing. even to the
showar baths. and it is said that if
the tenants need a further shock
after the shower baths. they will get
it in the rent! ‘
"Which brings me to another point
in my discussion. 'These new and
modern dwellings all the correct
housing bill all right, but they still
leave untouched the problem of
housing the cheaper rent paying
classes.
"One person stopping in Norwaik
aptly said: 'The city looks ior all
the world as if a huge airplane had
dropped these huddled together clus-
ters of novels in different sections
at the city.’ he was referring to our
'slums'." '
The speaker then went on to say
that cities had specialists in educa-
tion, transportation and everything
else. but that there were tew housing
problem specialists—so very few to
care where the poor sleep. eat or
bring up their children.
"As i heard it told of one little
girl. when she was asked where she
lived. she answered: ‘We don't live.
We board.‘ .
Live In Cellars.
"There are families housed today
in Norwsllr in cellars where a. man
would be ashamed to keep cattle. l

and rot)! were open in patches to the
weather. In one place. outside vaults

a row of houses. had been discon-
nected because the iandloard said he
could not afford to keep the same in
repair.
"In another case. where the wpter
landlord said that he could not a!-
ford to pay the water tax.
"In s. series of small houses under
the brow of one of the best residen-
tial sections of the city. there is no
attempt at sewerage or water supply
for the houses.
"Outside vaults are ooze hill di-
rectly over the walls from which
the tenants. two or three to a. house,
draw their water supply. Is there

books?
“In one of the outlying sections of
the city. rather thickly settled. there
are many buildings occupied by one.
two or more families. There is no
sewer connection here at all as the
section is not adequately provided
with sewers. although in a supposed.
ly sewer district.
"Rock formation prevents the
digging of cesspools so there is no
outlet for wastage to drain off ex-
cept through! ditches at the sides oi

Exhibit A
it was then that hire. Barrett told
oi “Exhibit A."-—tlle worst type oi

“Exhibit of Type» B" said the
speaker. is the collar home. for

fication. it our midst.
”Exhibit C is the unsafe. unsight-
ly and unsanitary frame tenements
found in the outlying sections of the
city which are rapidly increasing in
number and will Continue to in-
crease unless checked. in many cl.
ties where they grow like white
mushrooms. they increase and in-
crease until they finally bccomo the
heart of the city itself.
"Exhibit D is they landlord. who
after exhausting all other sorts of
arguments as to why he doesn‘l re.
pair and renovate his dwellings. will
invariably fall back on the two old
standbys: i
First. that the property isu't pay.
lng enough to warrant repairs and
that be is losing money on it as it
is.
Secondly. that the‘ houses are good
enough for those who live in them;
that the tenants destroy the repairs
as fast as he makes them.
“As to the first. this article is
not concerned with the landlord‘s
profits. but no one has a right to
allow conditions which are a men
ace in the people of the communi-
ty. to the neighbors or the child-
ren in the community. If the land-
lord has to maintain his property
at a loss. the argument is so much
the worse. ‘
‘fAs to the second. i might do well
to quote Jacob Riis here. who said:
‘You can't expect people to live like
pigs and still make. good citizens.’
No System
“Now the vital part of my talk is
to urge 'he women of Norwalk to
cooperate in an agitation for a sew-
age system to replace our present in-
adequate one. i tried to get a map
of the sewage system in this city but
there appears to he neither map nor

"liowever. our city engineer is
constructing such a map at the pre-
sent time. If approved. the plan is
to build -. portion oi a sewage sys-
tem each year until the whole is
complete.
"This will help to corr t the un-
sanitary housing couditi ns and to
supply sewers where now there are
none. in the meantime. we must
start a campulgh against non-fly
proof outbuildings. I understand
that during the last campaign about
180 of them were rendered fly
proof."
Mrs. Barrett then took up | d"-
eusslon r the housing problems in
other cities. touching especially oh
New York and Bridgeport.
it was pointed out that Bridge-
port is offering admirable little
apartments f r working people rang-
ing from its in $40 a month.
Mrs. Barrett said Norwaik might.
do well to pattern utter Bridgeport.
She also maintained that it was in l

Further Sensations :

further sensational disclosures in the

that he would not rest until he lmd .

The remarks followed the son-
