Fig. IS— JUNK SHOPS IN CONGESTED TENEMENT STREETS. 



Junk and rag shops menace home life in tenement districts as does perhaps no 

 other line of business. The habitues of these places are not an asset to any street in 

 which children must play, nor is the storage of disease-laden rags and junk in street 

 and yard a desirable feature of these districts.
