Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Housing Reform: A Hand-Book for Practical Use in American Cities And as First Deputy Tenement Commissioner during the two years after the Department came into existence he had a large part in the initial enforcement of that law. The last chapter in the book contains a collection of negative "Don´ts." All the previous chapters deal with affirmative "Do´s." If I were to emphasize any particular line of affirmative action in housing reform, it would be the prevention of the tenement disease before any city begins to suffer from it. We Americans have an unhappy faculty of not remembering until after we have forgotten, of not beginning to conserve our resources and save our forests until after we have lost them. But we are surely practical enough to profit by experience. And experience applied to housing reform establishes the proposition which should be printed in large type that No growing American City, However Free From Tenements Now, Can Afford To Be Without Building Regulations To Prevent Dark Rooms And Unsanitary Conditions. There is no hardship to anyone in so regulating the future building of all houses intended to contain three or more families as to ensure an open space in the rear, a window for every room, opening either on the street or an open rear or an open court proportioned to height, also water supply, sewer connection and a separate toilet.
