Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Ten Years War: An Account of the Battle With the Slum in New York
The session, when it was forced through by an angered public Opinion. The power of the cabal was broken. The landlords had found their Waterloo. Many of them got rid of their property, which in a large num ber of cases they had never seen, and tried to forget the source of their ill-gotten wealth. Light and air did find their way into the tenements in a half-hearted fashion, and we began to count the tenants as souls. That is one of our milestones in the history of New York. They were never reckoned so before no one ever thought of them as.
