Pigs were banished from streets and cellars, and that first year 40,000 windows were cut to let light into 40,000 tenement bedrooms that were dark and unventilated. Forty years we have wrestled with the powers of darkness and at last the law forbids the building of a tenement with a dark and airless room in it.
