<br /> These areas, as may be n0~ed any day and.night, are unmsually
<br /> dense with people, who either are passing through, assembling
<br /> in large and small gromps, or Just plainly loitering and idling,.
<br /> rendering it verY difficult many times for pedestrians ~o pas~
<br /> toand'f~ and Presenting amaJor Rreblem of human congestion. _
<br /> ~emeed not cal!~y~ur'attenti~n to t2ie great increase in o~x
