as well as opportunities for recreation, to the people of South-
west Baltimore.
There is a kindergarten, library and reading
room and gymnasium.
As far as we are able to interpret neighborhood condi-

sc cial service.
It is essentially an industrial neighborhood.
There are many large establishments, the principal ones being the
Baltimere & Ohie shops, on Pratt Street, and Bartlett & Hayward's
Iron Foundry.
Pecple live in the neighborhood where they work,
so that ther e is a settled population, and a real neighborhood
feeling. m
