The city had long wanted to get rid of the pushcarts on the Lower East Side, and in 1940 they finally did. They built the Essex and Delancey market, where the former pushcart vendors could sell their wares in comfort. Mayor LaGuardia presided at the opening, January 9, 1940.

January 9, 1924: How tubercular children were cared for: with all available inside space fitted up with desks, cots and classrooms, three ferry boats were put in operation as schools for the ever-increasing number of tubercular schoolchildren. The boats, which were under the supervision of the Board of Education, were also equipped with kitchens for giving the students lunch. Photo shows the children during the sleeping period of one hour, which was given every day.
