They had to buy to have pride of ownership, but the price was cheap. They had good air, and there they raised their children. "I resent this talk of slum clearance," Stimson went on. "These humble homes are not the finest, but the same health standards do not apply where there is plenty of free air as compared with crowded tenements of downtown." Faries Speaks Atty.
