for more than 30 years. Those] throbbing temples at City Hall are | being caused by the demand of re-| form groups for a cleanup. |i The demand threatens to disturb: officials’ traditional method of] “handling” the Avenue which] doesn’t involve “cleanups.” Off the] | record, officials have viewed the, | Avenue situation like this: “It isn’t anything new. It's been | bad as long as anyone can remem- | ber. Sure, the Avenue's tough. But it's a safety valve in which most of the blood and thunder incident to a big city is released. Clean it up, and the blood and thunder may' spread all over town.”
