How a Magnificent Avenue Was Cut
Through a Miserable District.
The most wonderful feature of Rio
de Janeiro is the Avenida Central, says
Albert Hale in the Reader. Imagine,
if you can, a city—Chicago, for in
stance—awaking to the realization that
there are ugliness, dirt and disease In
Its midst; that its streets are ill paved,
unwholesome an 1 unequal to the traf
fic. Imagine Chicago determined to j
change all this by drawing a straight |
line through her slums, say, from the j
river at Madison street to the corner ,
of Twelfth and Halstead streets, with ,
other straight lines parallel and ai !
right angles through other centers of I
slumdom! And imagine Chicago, after j
pulling down brick and stone, wood
and plaster, erecting op these straight
lines broad, well paved, well lighted
avenues, faced on either side by pal
aces, shops, cafes, clubs and business
houses, all newly built according to
one harmonious scheme so that air
and sunshine enter where they were
before unknown and so that it be
comes a pleasure to walk where hith
erto confusion and discomfort were
unavoidable.
This is what Rio did. The Avenida
was cut literally through the heart of
the city.
From the sth of March, 1904, when
the first house was unroofed, until tire
opening of th*- Avenida for public use,
Nov. 15, 1905. the Brazilian national
holiday of Independence, there were
041 houses demolished and over 4,000
people scattered to other and healthier
homes. The reactionists who object to
the whole plan say that for a tropical
city the old streets were best; that
these new broad avenues which bring
sunlight into dark places have also
brought the first cases of sunstroke
into Rio. They fail to realize, of course,
what cleanliness and fresh air signify.
The total cost of the Avenida may
reach $s(j.000,000, but It will be worth
every cent.
Of course there are slums still in evi
dence in Rio. A city of 750,000 people,,
oue third of whom are negroes, and
many of these of the lowest, most ig
norant type, cannot he reformed all at
once. In the lanes behind the hills and
in the districts around the railway sta
tion there are native hives as pictur
esque and as dirty, though not so
crowded or so cut oft - from sunlight
and air. us those at Whitechapel In
London or East Broadway In New
York.
