BILLBOARD ORDINANCE NOT RETROACTIVE I

Backyard Fences Jioreafter Erected to Be Limited to Seven Feet in Height, Billboards to Ten Feet—No Signs Will Be Allowed Opposite Public Buildings.

.liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii • •H: '

T HE income sometimes derived from vacant lots through renting the

fences for billboards will be lessened should Alderman Curran's ordinance pro­hibiting billboards more than ten feet high pass the board and obtain the May­or's signature. By the terms of the meas­ure all ten-foot billboards must have openings at intervals and must be built of fireproof materials. This latter provision will cause much reconstruction, which of course the billboard firms will have to pay for, if they decide to continue the use of the medium. Ordinary fences less than seven feet high are left unregulated, but all ten-foot fences, whether used as billboards or not, must be built fireproof. .\ny skysign or billboard that injures the value of adjacent real estate, as many unquestionably do, or presents an ob­stacle to the use of fire apparatus, is pro­hibited under the ordinance.

The ordinance, which is not retroac­tive, will prohibit billboards from being

is not an unheard of annual rental for an owner to exact for the privilege of put­ting a double-deck billboard around his lot or a huge electric skysign on top of his building.

Billboard Rental Rates. Bill-posting and advertising companies

guard with great secrecy from the public the sums they pay in any particular case, in order that the owners of other choice locations may not know too much, but it is a fact that at least one enterprising concern pays as high as twenty thousand dollars' rental in more than one case. Ten thousand dollars is the annual rental paid in a number of instances. There is no average price for billboard space, but in a general way it is known that the best locations are considered to be those where the most people pass.

Thus, Riverside Drive is rated higher than upper Fifth avenue, and Broadway in the neighborhood of 42d street highest of all. If you see a vacant lot in a high class neighborhood with double-decker billboards on two sides, the owner is get-

but no open-work section (which every fence over seven feet high must have) shall be covered.

Limit for Roof Signs. A structure having a tight or closed '

surface erected upon or above a roof shall not exceed ten feet in height or forty feet in length. Structures not having a tight or closed surface may be erected to the height of twenty feet above the roof. A further allowance is made if a space of six feet, is left be­tween the sign and the roof for the fire­men. The spaces in the structure must not be less than three feet wide or more than three feet apart.

No "structure" of the sort referred to may be erected on the roof of any tene­ment house, hotel or other dwelling, except upon a who"y detached piivate dwelling, or except that a hotel shall be permitted to have such a structure upon its roof when the same is used to ident­ify or advertise the hotel itself only.

No sign, billboard, bulletin or ad­vertisem*nt of any description may be

hereafter erected within 350 feet of any land within the jurisdiction of the Park Department, and by the same law no billboard will be permitted on or near any parkway or drive within the juris­diction of the department, or on any street where the board will be opposite any schoolhouse, church or public build­ing. And nowhere without the consent of all property owners within two hun­dred feet and a permit from the Building Bureau.

Income from Billboards.

Large suins are in some cases derived from the sale of billboard privileges by real estate owners. High competition among the bill-posting and advertising companies for prominent locations at which to erect billboards or skysigns has served to raise the toll. Not so many years ago tickets to the "show" was all the owner asked, if the bill-poster -would keep his walk clear of snow and ice in winter, but nowadays the billboard ad­vertising business has become so con­siderable that ten thousand dollars a year

ting about one thousand dollars a year from the advertising company, which helps considerably to pay his taxes. But for that he would give some architect a commission to build him a private resi­dence on the site, or else an apartment house as an income producer.

The billboard companies intend to op­pose to the utmost the enactment of the ordinance, and have already consulted ex-Chief Croker in respect to the alleged fire-danger from billboards. At the pres­ent tiine they have a case in court against the Superintendent of Buildings to see if they must comply with his order to build fireproof boards in certain cases.

Citations from the Ordinance. The ordinance specifies that no fence

exceeding seven feet in height shall be built witiiout open sections in its siirface sufficient to give a view of the premises. If within the fire-limits, it must be con­structed of slats or other open-work, or else constructed entirely of incombus­tible material, except that paper posters may be pasted over the "solid surface",

maintained across any doorway, window or opeiiing in the wall of any building. No structure subject to regulation may be maintained upon the roof of any building other than a fireproof building.

No structure subject to regulation shall at any point exceed seven feet in height above the ground, if erected upon the ground, and no "such structure" shall be erected upon a roof unless capable of sustaining a wind pressure of forty pounds a square foot.

The restrictions in the ordinance do not apply to walls of masonry, as stone, lirick, marble, terra cotta and concrete.

Must Keep Inside of Building Lines. No structure for advertising purposes

shall be erected outside of the building lines of any street or public place, except si.gns required by law or lawfullv erected for public purposes. Exceptions are also made for shop signs, and for signs re­lating directly and solely to the premises, for contractors' signs in building opera­tions, and for the signs of transit lines.

Within sixty days after the adoption of the ordinance every owner of a structure

subject to regulation by the ordinance (except backyard fences not exceeding seven feet in height, and fences of open trellis-work, and e.xcept other fences not exceeding seven feet in height) shall re­gister the same with the Bureau of Buildings, or shall either take down or remove them or so alter them as to

bring them within the excepted classes as aforesaid. Any existing structure which is required to be registered will be illegal if not registered; but otherwise the ordinance will not be retroactive.

The Building Bureau will issue a cer­tificate of registration for every regis­tered billboard or sign and collect a fee

of two dollars. After the adoption of the ordinance no new structure shall be erected except in accordance therewith, and plans and specifications must be • filed with and a permit obtained from the Building Superintendent. Violators of this proposed law would facc a pen­alty of imprisonment.

RESTRICTED DISTRICTS IN GERMAN CITIES !

Observations of An American Traveler—Effect of Districting on Land Values I An Open Question—But Districting Does Protect Good Neighborhoods.* I By FRANK BACKUS WILLIAMS.

T O the thoughtful person there is a satisfaction absolutely unique in the

method and order of a formal garden from a perspective which shows its design as a whole, revealing its unity and determining purpose.

The same pervasive satisfaction comes to us at the sight of many a German city. From the vantage of a good view­point we see below us a nucleus of structures of all sorts built uniformly high and close, surrounded by belts or zones of buildings progressively decreas­ing in height and extent as compared with the lots they stand on, with a re­sulting progressive increase of green grass and trees to the city's very out­skirts, almost rural in character.

Frankfort. In the German city of to-day, as a

result of the application of the principle of progressive gradatioil, the industrial district exists in many degrees of in­tensity. Frankfort, for instance, has its industrial districts, its mixed districts and its chief traffic streets, which are really a district by themselves; as well as its residential districts and the orig­inal or inner city where are still found the old undifferentiated conditions. In the industrial districts all industries are not only allowed, but favored in so many ways that by far the most of them are located there; and residences, with rare exceptions, such as rooms for caretak­ers and watchmen, are forbidden. In the mixed districts both manufactures of all sorts and residences are permitted. On the chief traffic streets business and the minor industries, as well as resi­dences, are allowed.

This differentiation between industrial and residential districts in Frankfort, although far advanced, is not complete. The mixed district, for instance, con­tains both residences and manufactures. The purpose of this, both in Frankfort and elsewhere, is to house the workman near his work. Desirable as this is, the results of the mixed district in other ways, both for housing and for manu­facturing, have been bad; for living con­ditions are injured by the industries. and the factories are crowded and hampered. A better solution would seem to be to create separate residential and industrial streets, making the street the unit of the district. In this way both residences and industries are segre­gated, and yet form part of the same neighborhood.

No Separate Business District. The phenomenon of residences in the

upper stories of buildings occupied on their lower fioors by shops and offices occurs not only on chief traffic streets but everywhere, in cities, where shops and offices are to be found. This is true not onlv throughout Germany but everywhere in Europe, except on the continent to find the most expensive and fashionable of apartments over stores. There are in the large cities buildings occupied solely for business purposes; but they are rare. In none of the con­tinental cities is there an actual busi-

ness district. Even on the principal business streets of cities like Berlin— the Leipsiger or Friedrichstrasse, for instance—there is only here and there an isolated building in which there are no residences.

This lack of that most useful differen­tiation, the business district, is a great disadvantage. Unlike residences, busi-iness districts as far as condi­tions allow, should be centralized and concentrated, to the advantage of both business and housing. It is difficult to keep from feeling an un-Christian joy that Germany, which is ahead of us in so many phases of city construction, is at least behind us in this one.

Next, the application of the principle of progressive graduation, which is the principle introduced by the zoning sys­tem, was reapplied to the differentiation of the residential district and produced further developments in it. This was brought about in some cities by making the. districts, elsewhere called zones, smaller, and, while still regulating them progressively, doing so without any con­stant or precise relation to any one center.

Dresden. Dresden is an example of such regu­

lation. Its district map is kaleidoscopic; and often the same districting appears in ten or twelve parts of the city. In this way,, it is thought, regulation may more closely conform to, and more ad­vantageously guide, development.

In other cities this same tendency toward smaller districts has produced results of a slightly different form. The rules for chief traffic streets within zones or districts have already been inentioned. The same development has occurred rather generally in all German centers. This is really only another method of splitting up the more primi­tive zones or larger district into smaller ones.

Dusseldorf. Classification along this line has in

Dusseldorf taken an essentially similar direction, although again slightly differ­ent in form. There, in addition to five zones covering the whole city, and rules for special streets, in many cases run­ning through several zones, there are eleven classes of streets, also within the zones. These classes are in most cases created for various types of housing. The distinctions are often very minute.

There are, for instance, two classes of rules for one and two-family houses in blocks, the one with, and the other with­out, rear buildings; two classes similar in all respects to these, except that three-family houses are also allowed; two classes, alike in all respects to those first mentioned, except that in each case the houses must be detached, the re­quired open spaces between the houses and the side lines of the house varying, however, in breadth; a class for the bet­ter sort of tenement houses, in blocks, with not more than two families in each story: a class for tenement houses sim­ilar in all respects to the class last mentioned, except that they are to be of cheaper and simpler construction and suitable for not more than three families on any one fioor, etc.

When -we remember that the lots on which these class restrictions are im­posed are widely scattered throughout the zones and subject not only to class but to the various zone restrictions as well, we may come to the conclusion that in Dusseldorf differentiation has reached its uttermost limit.

Districting by Streets. The system of regulation by streets

is applicable universally. Broader dis­tricts are. it is true, at times necessary. Certainly the offensive industries should have a considerable tract quite to them­selves. But even in this case the dis­trict will consist of a certain number of streets with the lots on them; and streets may, therefore, be used as con­venient units for the district.

Munich was the pioneer in this system of districting by streets, adopting it in 1904. In 1912 Karlsruhe followed. In­stead of any of the older forms or dis­tricts she now has sixteen classes of streets. .According to present limita­tions it would seem that this system is destined to become the prevailing one in Germany.

Apparently the German himself is, on the whole, satisfied with districting as a system. A large and increasing major­ity of German cities have adopted it, and none of thein has made any attempt to abolish it later, though in some cases an effort has been made to do away with a particular district or change its posi­tion altogether. In Frankfort the loca­tion of one of the old inanufacturing districts is felt to be a disadvantage to the city as a whole; and, partly for this reason, a new one was created. The old district has not been abolished; but the natural extension of it is not al­lowed, and the new district is made as advantageous as possible, in the hope of attracting the industries located in the old.

The boundaries of districts, too, are often changed. Usually it is the busi­ness district which encroaches upon a residence district. This means a dis­turbance of living conditions; but as there are invariably more concentration and higher land values in the business than in the residence district the change produces higher prices for land, and there is little or no complaint.

Conclusion.

As a rule, districting does preserve the character of neighborhoods. This is an advantage in every way. It saves the waste of destruction, reconstruction and readjustment, inevitably attendant upon a change of character: and by mak-in.g such a change impossible it steadies values. It prevents the conflict of alien activities to their mutual disadvantage. It raises land value in the only way possible without injury to anyone; for it increases the usefulness of the land at least as much as it does its price.

The effect of districting upon the gen­eral level of land values is an open one in Germany; the controversy on the sub-iect heated and bitter; and the mass of literature with regard to it, already in existence, more than any one person can even read. Its effect on housing and on the health and vigor of the_ Ger­man people is quite another question.

R E A L E S T A T E MEN AROUSED BY OPPRESSION

Protest Entered at Annual Dinner Against Single-Tax Legislation, Confiscatory Labor Laws and Over-Regulation of Real Property.

awiiiiiBiiiiiiiiiawiiaM^ ^ ^ ^

/~^ LOSE to one thousand men were ^-^ seated at the one hundred and ten tables that filled the main floor of the Waldorf-.'\storia banquet hall and over­flowed into the boxes on the occasion of the annual dinner of the Real Estate Board of Brokers last Saturday evening. It was the biggest turnout in the history of Waldorf banquets, and the brokers themselves voted it the most enjoyable and significant to them, in that there was a definite theme for the speakers, and because a very emphatic protest was raised by the president in behalf of the Ijoard against the wrongs that are being committed against property owners through over-regulation and over-tax­ation.

By order of the Industrial and Build­ing . Codes Committee (Charles F. Noyes, chairman), reprints of articles that had appeared tliat morning in the Record and Guide, entitled "The Real Estate Board's New Activities," and "The Confiscatory Fire-Prevention Laws," had been distributed through the hall, and every one was therefore pre­pared for the pointed remarks which came from the toastmaster, President McGuire. Prof. Seligman's exposure of the Single Tax measure now in the Legislature was in line with the board's own exposure of the injustice done to property owners through tlie factory and fire-prevention laws.

The guests of the evening included J. Romaine Brown, Edwin A. Cruikshank, Geo. R. Read, Robert E. Dowling, Tax Commissioner Lawson Purdy, Borough Presidents Marks and Mathewson, Pub­lic Service Commissioner Williams, Persident Marble of tlie Merchants' As­sociation, ."Mian Robinson, Captain Rey­nolds K. Townsend, Elbridge Gerry Snow, Charles H. Strong, Franklin Pettit, Michael Friedsam, Lewis L. Clarke, .\bram I. Elkus, Frederick H. Ecker and Thomas Shall cross.

Neither the Governor nor the Mayor was present, but the Governor sent a long letter and the Mayor a good sub­stitute in his young City Chamberlain. As wide publication has already been given to remarks made on the occasion, general public attention has been drawn to the pronounced stand which the Real Estate Board has taken a.gainst the stream of regulatory laws which the up-State legislators have permitted city politicians to put through—laws which many now suspect are mainly intended to make salaried places on the public payrolls for as many persons as the tax­payers can afford to maintain.

Should Rally for Self-Defense. In his introductory remarks President

McGuire said: "Never has there been greater need for

organized effort to protect the interests we represent. The real property owner has become the victim of theorists and faddists ready and willing to try any and all schemes, some new. others long since repudiated but now revived and mas­querading under misleading titles. We have the Society for the Reduction of Rents and Taxes on Homes advocating the halving of the ta.x on buildings. Of the many questions confronting us this, perhaps, is the most serious, in that it is the most dangerous. It is the forerun­ner of the single tax. The revival of this legislation must now as when originally advocated be opposed by organized forces.

Existing Unjust Laws. "The existing labor laws are unneces­

sary, burdensome, unjust, impracticable and grossly detrimental to property

rights. The many conflicting violations placed upon property by the various de-yartmenis are putting owners in many instances to wholly unnecessary expense, i ne board proposes to lend its best ettorts in an endeavor to straighten out tne unholy muddle caused by the con­flict ot authority m the State and mu­nicipal departments. That the funda­mental values of property have withstood these many assaults is a proof that the real property value is secure. Neverthe­less every effort should be made to amend the laws in such a way as to make them fair, just and reasonable."

Prof. Seligman Against a Popular Referendum.

Professor Seligman, of Columbia, di­rected his remarks against the proposed referendum on the question of reducing the ta.x rate on buildings and increasing the ta.x rate on land. He said in part:

"The agitation has been ingeniously managed so as to identify it in the popu­lar mind with the project of lowering rents. This change in taxation, however, far from being a simple matter, is in reality one that calls for the most care­ful analysis and the most accurate knowledge of economic law.

"In the first place, will rents be low­ered? So far as the tax on land is con­cerned, it must be remembered that in many parts of New York not a little cap­ital must be invested in order to blast away the hills or to make the rock ex­cavations. To the extent that these im­provements are made in the land (not on the land) the ta.x will be shifted to the tenant; so that a part, at least, of the increased tax on land will go to increase rents.

"How about the ta.x on the house? It is said that ta.xes are like anything else— reduce the price and you increase the consumption. It is forgotten, however, that the demand for houses is strictly limited by the population. After the slack has been taken up, that is, after a certain fringe of the population who are now boarders and lodgers will oc­cupy apartments of their own, the new equilibrium between housing and popu­lation will have been reached and there will be no further demand for new houses e.xcept that which comes from the nor­mal .growth of population. The only ef­fect of a sudden exemption of houses from ta.xation will mean a building boom, to be followed by a collapse.

More Congestion Instead of Less. "But what will be the social conse­

quences of the change? It is claimed tliat it will lead to less congestion. We nulst distinguish between congestion per room and the greater congestion per acre. If the buildings are exempted there will be higher buildings in the slums and a greater congestion per acre. Even a building law will not remedy this, for if all buildings were built up to the maximum height there would be far more congestion that at present. But what is much worse is, that in all the other boroughs we would have a com­pact city as in Manhattan. There will be no open spaces, no gardens around tbe houses, no vacant lots. The evils of the slums will be spread throughout the entire metropolis. We shall have a worse congestion than at present.

Small Land-0'wners Would Suffer. "Furthermore, the real people who

would benefit would be the rich and not the poor. The rich man who builds a mansion on Fifth avenue, the rich cor­poration that inhabits the Woolworth Building, on what theory of tax­ation should these be exempted? Again, all the modest house owners.

where the land has come to be worth more than tne house, will be forced out ot their homes, and New York will be­come a city of lotty apartments. Above all the modest land owner will suffer. All land IS not owned by speculators. Why should the small man who has in­vested his property in land have a part ot that property confiscated? I do not object to the taking away of a part of the future increment of land values, be­cause everyone will be warned in ad­vance; but 1 do protest against the con­fiscation of actual property.

"VVe see, therefore, the essential com­plexity of the problem. It can be solved Dy no mere shibboleth such as that of lower rents. It is a matter for careful, unbiased and unprejudiced discussion. It involves considerations that the ordinary man in the street utterly fails to grasp. It is therefore of all questions the one least suited to a popular referendum."

Mr. Brisbane's Experiment. Arthur Brisbane spoke on the merits

of a single tax, but told of how foolish it would be to attempt to apply such methods in this country. The chief rea­son for this was that Americans want to own their lands and not hold them merely under a lease. He gave as an illustration his personal experience in a large tract of land in New Jersey. He is erecting twenty houses there which he has offered to workers practically rent free, but is meeting with difficulty chiefly through the fact that even the foreigners who want to work the land want to buy it outright.

Frederic T. Murphy, son of Patrick Francis Murphy, enlivened the proceed­ings with a humorous talk. Joseph P. Day read a dispatch from J. Clarence Davies at Palm Beach, and City Cham­berlain Henry Bruere said a few words.

Mr. Bruere, speaking for Mayor Mitchel, said he thought that the Mayor would carry out his pre-election promise to sign any bill that might be presented to him providing for a referendum on the question of reducing the taxation on buildings.

The Governor's Letter. Governor Glynn in his letter said: "I

have pointed out to the public and to the Legislature that unless the State reduces its expenditures or increases its revenues from indirect sources New York will be compelled to raise millions each year by direct taxation. It is one thing to preach economy. It is another to practice it. .\fter my appeal to the various State de-partnients asking them to reduce ex­penditures 1 find that their requests for this year are $4,000,000 in excess of the appropriations made last year. I have called the attention of the State depart­ments to this fact and have explained to them that I meant what I said. I have requested them to revise their requests for appropriations and explained that it is better for them to use a pruning knife on their budgets now than compel .me later to resort to an axe."

.\s a souvenir of the occasion the Title Guarantee gave copies of Bromley's pocket and desk atlas of the Borough of Manhattan. As it contains a map of every block in the city, with every piece of real estate plotted thereon, the gift was a most exceptional and useful one. The Lawyers Title Insurance and Trust Company gave silver pencils each in a separate box. The Home Insurance Com­pany presented every one with a leather wallet.

The dinner committee was composed of Messrs. Elisha Sniffin, chairman; Jos­eph P. Day, Edward L. King, Robert T. McGusty and Donald W. Brown.

BILLS IN THE CITY'S INTEREST

••HI

One Measure "Would Exempt jDams and Other Water j Supply Structures from Taxation—New City Departments. j

••llinii;:r;i • t -1-:.. i: .i^iiiililllllllllimMlillBBIiliiiiBiia^^^^^

'C ROM the bills already introduced in * the Legislature at Albany, it is appar­ent that proposed amendments to the Greater New York Charter, the Tax Law, the Lien Law and the Tenement House Law will be prominent among the subjects to be discussed during the present session. Most of the notable bills affecting the Greater New York Charter are administration measures and will prob?bly be enacted. Among these may be mentioned Senator Griffith's bill creating a central department for the purchase of supplies for the entire city and Senator Herrick's, establishing a department of licenses, which is to have the exclusive exercise of powers now distributed among a number of licensing authorities.

Bills of special interest to the real estate and building profession are the following:

In the Senate. Int. No. 343. Whitney.—Amending

the Housing Law {(Chapter 774, Laws of 1913; new subdivision 17-a in section 2, and amending section 63) by providing that semi-fireproof dwellings may be built with an ?rea not exceeding 1,250 square feet within the outside walls, not over three stories high above basem*nt or cellar, with first story walls not less, than 12 inches thick and second and third story walls not less than 5 inches thick. A semi-fireproof dwelling is de­fined as one in which the external and party walls are of brick, stone, iron, steel, concrete, reinforced concrete or other equally substantial and fireproof material. Semi-fireproof dwelling;s may be built with an area not exceeding 2,-400 feet within the outside walls not over 3 stories high with walls not less than 12 inches thick. Such a dwelling may be built 4 stories if certain mate­rial is used. The bill makes detail spec­ifications as to the kinds of material that may be used in various parts of the strctures. To Cities Committee.

Private Pavements.

Int. No. 358. Patten.—Amending the Greater New York Charter (section 948) by providing that pavements laid at pri­vate expense and accepted by the city prior to June 20, 1910, shall be deemed permanent pavements; that such pave­ments laid and accepted since June 20, 1910, shall be deemed permanent pave­ments if so classified subsequent to April 18, 1912; and that all other pave­ments laid at private expense and ac­cepted since June 20, 1910, shall be deemed preliminary pavements. When­ever any pavement is laid to replace a preliminary pavement, if the cost of re­placing the pavement exceeds the cost of the replaced preliminary pavement, the excess must be assessed upon the property deemed benefited, and the bal­ance of the cost paid by the city. Same as Senator Patten's bill of last year (S. Int. 1742, Pr. 2259, of 1913). To Cities Committee.

Int. No. 359. Duhamel.—Amending the New York City eighty-cent gas act Cchapter 125, Laws of 1906; amendment to section 1) by fixing eighty cents as the maximum charge for gas in the Thir­tieth and Thirty-first Wards of Brook­lyn. Same as Senator Duhamel's bill of last year (S. Int. 78, Pr. 79, of 1913). To Miscellaneous Corporations Committee.

Int. No. 361. McClelland.—.•\mending the Tax Law (sections 220, 211, 221a and 243) relati-ve to the transfer tax. It abolishes the distinction between tangi­ble and intangible property for pur­poses of the transfer tax. All transfers less than $500 are exempt frora the

transfer tax and all transfers to a fa­ther, mother, widow or minor child of the decedent are e.xempt to the extent of $5,000. The bill substitutes an en­tirely new schedule of rates of taxa­tion on transefers of property as fol­lows: Transfers to a father, mother, widow or minor child in excess of $5,-000; 1 per cent, on amounts to and in­cluding $25,000; 2 per cent, on the next $75,000; 3 per cent, on the next $200,-000; 4 per cent, on the balance. Upon transfers to a brother, sister, wife or widow of a son', or the husband of a daughter of the decedent: 2 per cent, on any amount up to $25,000; 3 per cent, on the next $75,000; 4 per cent, on the next $200,000 and 5 per cent, on the balance. Upon transfers to other persons the tax is to be 5 per cent, on amounts up to $25,000; 6 per cent, on the next $75,-000; 7 per cent, on the next $200,000; and 8 per cent, on the balance. There are also other provisions. To Taxation and Retrenchment Committee.

New Franchise Tax Schedules. Int. No. 362. McClelland.—Amending

the Tax Law (sections 181, 182, 185, 193 and 197) relative to the franchise tax on corporations. It substitutes an entirely new schedule of rates as follows: J4 of a mill on each $1.00 of the par value of the capital stock if no dividend is de­clared; IJ^ mills on any portion of capi­tal stock on which a dividend of less than 6 per cent, is declared or made. The stock is to be assessed at not less than its actual value and not less than the average price at which it is sold during the year. But if this would produce a less amount than a tax of ^ of a mill on the par value of all the stock issued then the tax is to be at the latter rate. Where a dividend of 6 per cent, or more is de­clared on any stock, the tax is to be at the rate of 4 of a mill for each one per cent, of dividends on each dollar of the par value of such stock. A minimum tax of $2.00 is provided. There are also other provisions regulating the time of filing of required reports. The bill also makes the tax applicable to every for­eign corporation doing business in the state except banking corporations, fire, marine, casualty, and life insurance com­panies, co-operative fraternal insurance companies and building and loan asso­ciations. To Taxation and Retrench­ment Committee.

"Improvements" Defined. Int. No. 370. McClelland.—Inserting

in the Poor Law a new section (31) authorizing the Common Council or Board of Aldermen in each city of the first or second class to establish munici­pal lodging houses. Such a lodging house in a city of the first class must have an aggregate capacity of at least one per cent, of the population of the city; if in a city of the second class, a capacity of at least one-fourth of one per cent, of the population of the city. The necessary money for the support of municipal lodging houses is to be raised by taxation in the city, but the state is to reimburse each municipality at the rate of S cents per night for each person lodged. Lodging houses are to be in charge of the overseer of the poor, or like officer in each of the municipalities. To Cities Committee.

In the Assembly. Int. No. 441. McGrath.—.^mending

the Greater New York Charter (sections 1027 and 1035) by directing the collector of assessments and arrears, within 60 days of the time set for the sale of any tax lien, to give notice to all interested parties of such sale, providing they have filed in the office of the comptroller a

memorandum definitely describing the property and giving their names and addresses. The bill also provides that no foreclosure action shall be brought by the holder of any transfer tax lien, without giving printed notice to the last owner of record, and other parties in interest.

Int. No. 442. Murray.—Amending the Lien Law generally (sections 2, 4, 7, 10, 13 and 17). Among other changes, it provides that the term "improvement," when used in the lien law, shall include the drawing of any plans or specifica­tions by an architect or engineer, and the making of any surveys for the proposed erection, alteration or repair of any struc­ture. Structures erected on land and temporarily attached, so as to be remov­able from place to place, are included within the provisions of the law. The time within which notices of liens are to be filed is extended from ninety days to four months after the completion of the contract, or the final performance of the work, or the final furnishing of ma­terials. When a lienor, who has filed a lien after the commencement of an action and before trial, makes application to the court to be made a party, the court must direct him to be brought in by proper amendment.

Int. No. 476. Knight,—.\mending the Lien Law (sections 201 and 202) by re­ducing from ten days to one week the time, after service of notice of lien, with­in which the lien must be paid. It also permits the sale of personal property to satisfy a lien after ten days from the publication of notice of sale. The pres­ent provision is that fifteen days shall elapse after the first publication of such notice.

Int. No. 490. Garbe.—Amending the Real Property Law (section 450) by pro­viding that cemetery lands are to be sub­ject to special assessments for street openings and street improvements, in­cluding the laying of sewers, except in the case of cemeteries not over three acres in extent owned and used by religious associations. They are also to be liable for their share of the expense of the condemnation proceedings in opening the streets when this expense is assessed on adjoining property to be benefited.

Int. No. 491. Goldberg.—.Amending the Greater New York Charter (section 837) by directing the commissioner of docks to set aside a recreation pier at the foot of East 70th street on the East River.

Would Hurt Borrowing Capacity. .•\llan Robinson, in a talk before the

Prospect Heights Citizens' Associations in Brooklyn, on the question of the single-tax and the Herrick-Schaap bill, said:

"This is how the scheme will work out. On an investment of $100,000 one natur­ally expects an income of about $5,000. If this is reduced by taxes to $2,500 it fol­lows that the property becomes worth only $50,000 as an investment. In other words its assessed valuation is reduced. The single tax would reduce the assessed valuation of property in New York City by $400,000,000 and this means that our borrowing capacity would be reduced, be­cause the debt limit is thereby lowered 1- per cent,, or $40,000,000. This will stop our subways, our docks and all our other civic improvements.

"\'ancouver is usually cited as a proof of the success of the single tax. Yet in­stead of lowering rents, stopping specu­lation and relieving congestion we find that rents are higher, speculation in­creased 200 or 300 per cent., congestion become so great that a limit had to be set on skyscrapers, and the acutal amount of building fallen off during last year.

"The single taxers are becoming So­cialists. They deny it now. but men who have gone, so far will go farther. Joseph Fels is spending $100,000 a year in their campai.gn. It is possible that the- might get the bill through and that Mitchel would sign it, but I do not believe that he knows what it is. Bruere admitted, af­ter hearin.g".\rthur Brisbane and Profes­sor Seligman riddle it, that perhaps Mitchel had been carried away by the enthusiasm of youth."

TO BRING ORDER OUT OF CONFUSION

And Eliminate Conflicting Orders. This Will Be the Principal Work of the New American Society for Fire-Prevention.

• • • i i p i i i m n ' " " " ' • " " " " '•"••illllllllllllllllMlillllllliillM

T H E American Society for Fire Pre­vention having been organized to do

things which the National Fire Protec­tion Association never has done, and does not consider within its province, there is no reason, in the view of e.x-Alderman A. W. Herbst, founder of the first-named society, why the utmost harmony should not exist between the two. In a letter which Mr. Herbst has written to President Kohn of the Na­tional association he says there are many organizations in existence throughout the United States aiming at the reduction of the fire hazard, but that the field of endeavor is so large there is room for all. Each can do its good work, and each should be encouraged by every other organization. He says the very fact that the National has been in ex­istence for many years should be all the more reason why it ought to welcome new blood and new energy into the field:

"We here have not been at all ignor­ant of the monumental character of the work ahead, but we at least have realized that every agency working to-day for the common cause has ample opportunity for beneficent effort for a generation to come without any good reason to be con­sidered as treading on the toes of any­one else.

What the New Society Is Doing. "Allow me to enumerate a few things

that we are doing and which seem to be within our own special province. In the first place, we are working energetically with real estate owners, constructors, architects and financiers who are en­gaged in the erection of large buildings, to the end that when specifications are prepared they shall require all that can be specified to be of fireproof construc­tion. Your organization, on the other hand, as I understand it, devotes its en­ergies to the preparation of standards, and the education of the people to the observance of these standards.

"I found, and your personal observance will bear me out, that in addition to making such standards, militant and ag­gressive work must be done to overcome powerful, selfish interests and the manip­ulations of partisan political coalitions, in order to receive official recognition of these standards in the form of absolute legislation.

Its Greatest Work. "Another work largely occupying our

attention, possibly the greatest work we have on for some time to come, is through an educational campaign and general newspaper publicity to reduce, and possibly to eliminate absolutely, the conflict of authority, with resultant con­flict of orders and rulings, between vari­ous city and State departments through­out the country concerning building construction and fire prevention. As our little booklet outlines, this conflict of authority has worked vast hardship on property owners and has done more than any other one thing to create resentment on the part of the general public to the subject of practical fire prevention. Your organization, I believe, has done little or nothing to cope with such con­ditions. Our organization, I believe, is making it a prime reason for existence.

"Furthermore, the enactment of rea­sonable and honest building codes, not only for New York City but for other municipalities throughout the country, is another field of activity in which we not only can be extremely useful but are proving every day i)ow tha twe.are use­

ful. My own connection with building-code work in this city has given me an experience that is valuable in this direc­tion, and this experience should be wel­comed by all interests favoring a reduc­tion of the fire hazard. This is a field in which your organization is not active, and this held readily can be extended, as we now are extending it, from the local governing bodies of various cities to the legislatures of the various States.

Safe Housing of Records. "The extension of the Public Records

laws of a few of our Eastern States, notably New York, so that other States can benefit by the experience of New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New Jersey, and provide for the adequate and sale housing of their important documents, such as wills, deeds, vital statistics and other records kept by county, town and village clerks, to other States of the Union, is still an­other field in which we properly can be active. It alone would juslily our pres­ence in the field as an organization for fire prevention, without properly incur­ring the disapproval of the National Fire Protection Association.

"In view of the courtesy that you showed me in writing so exhaustively on the subject, and in view also of the fact that you stated that you would use your letter as an answer to certain of your correspondents who had inquired of you regarding our organization, I also am writing to you in extenso. Should you, upon careful reflection and study of the above details, find that the good work of this society might benefit the public in the great work in which both organizations are engaged, and might supplement substantially the efforts of your society, although in some slight de­tails we might appear for a moment or two to be encroaching, I would suggest that in such an event a conference be­tween you, as president of your organi­zation, and niyself, as one of the officials of this society, might be of advantage.

"Our feeling is that the field is broad enough for all, that each has its function to perform, and that any organization, no matter how long standing, can be aided by co.-operation from other sources. Any organization that desires to welcome co-operation and is not actu­ated by an inclination to stifle co-ordin­ate effort, will find us ready and willing to do our share toward pulling the load."

Held in Abeyance. Seven thousand new firms opened of­

fices in New York last year, most of them settling south of Chambers street, according to the Real Estate Board's Bulletin. The number that moved away is not given, but in the natural course of events there will come in diie time a very complete tenancy of the usable offices in the district. The Only question concerns time and fitness. An immense amount of new space is being put on the market, too much to be ab­sorbed readily, and some of the old buildings will rent less easily because of having their light dimmed by the new skyscrapers and of being over-shadowed in other ways. But sooner or later met­ropolitan demand evens up fairly well with supply, and there are important economic and commercial changes com­ing which will accelerate the demand.

One bi.g buildin'g project that has been held in abeyance since the summer of 1912 is still in an uncertain stage. Plans for the erection of the new Western Union Building, on Broadway, twenty stories in height and to cost $8,000,000,

have not yet been circulated for con­tractors' bids, uotwuhbianding that the annex at 14 to 16 Ley street is prac­tically completed.

iUe delay is attributed to complica-' tions in the government action m the

case ol the American ielegrapli & Tele­phone Co. and us relations with the Wes­tern Union lelegraph Co. Dow, Jones & Co. announced about two munihs ago that the Western (jnion Co. had asked permission to withdraw the property ot the company at 193 Broadway trom the mortgage given as security lor an issue ot $ZU,UU0,UU0 4'/2 per cent. 5U-year re-

-lunding and real estate mortgage bonds, all ot the issue being novv outstanding.

The Western Union building has a frontage ol 75 feet on Broadway and ^73 leet on Dey street with an L to t>ulton street, ' ihe value ot the present land and building is estimated at about 3,U00,UUU. If the arrangements ot ad­

justment with the government do not interfere finally With the project, this property will be sold to a syndicate which will organize a company in wliich the Western Union Co. wiU have an in­terest.

FIREPROOF TENEMENTS.

The Schneiderman Bill Would Add to Construction Costs and Raise Rents. Tlie amendment to the Tenement

House Law as proposed by Assembly­man Schneiderman in his bill No. 243, just introduced in the Legislature, that all Tenement Houses hereafter erected over four stories m height be hreprool, is certain to meet with great opposition on the part of builders and real estate operators. Mr. G. Richard Davis, ot the

•hrm of A. L. Mordecai ik. bon, who is chairman of the Allied Real Estate In­terests' building committee, said:

"For the past five years we have been adding lo our laws governing building construction so many and varied regula­tions that the cost of construction has been i.icreased from ten to twenty per cent. It is undoubtedly true that many • of the new laws were necessary changes, and those which added to the saiety of the tenants by requiring additional means of exits and fireproohng, a.id by protecting the requirements for light and air, are such as we all must agree to.

"It nevertheless is a fact that it is al­most impossible today to erect tenement houses and comply with the new laws governing their erection and still keep the cost low enough to eiable us to rent finished apartments at anything like a reasonable rent. This ii true even in the most remote parts of the Bronx where lots can be purchased at from $1,000 to $3,000. The tenement house cannot be built cheaply enough to permit the ow.n-ers to rent rooms at the old-time prices, such as four to five dollars a room.

"The result is that the old tenement houses, which are unsanitary but cheap in rent, are overcrowded, and the con­gestion of population, about which there is so much complaint, is due largely to the very conditions which such a law as Assemblyman Sch.neiderman seeks to create."

Steel Works to Tidewater. Official denial is given to reports that

the Bethlehem Steel Company is nego­tiating for a tract of land at Bayonne and no confirmation can be obtained for an earlier report that inquiries have been made at South Brooklyn in behalf of other steel interests desiring to purchase either a terminal or a manufacturing location. Nevertheless the very general belief in real estate circles that there is something hatching is supported by the logic of national and economic events. Ore is not going to be railed from the seaboard here to Pennsylvania from South America and back again in the form of steel products for long, without there being a very careful consideration by steel interests of the advantages of having export plants on tidewater.

—The population of White Plains has doubled in ten years, being now 22,000.

Inspectors for the Public Service Com­mission have verified the statement of com­plainants before the commission that the car service on the Si.xth avenue and Eighth avenue surface lines is infrequent and in­sufficient. The commission, it is under­stood, will order more cars to be put on.

Kehtals in the old wholesale section have not on the whole noticeably im­proved since the great migra t ion to up­town centers , but vacancies made with­in a year have been more than made up by the incoming of new trades , and some local benefit is expected from the opera t ions of the new occupancy law re la t ing to factories.

The improvement of the East River and Hell Gate in New York harbor , a project that calls for an ultimate expenditure of $13,400,000, was approved this week by the House Committee on Rivers and Harbors. An initial appropriation of $500,0(X) will be made to begin work. Municipal and State authorities and the Engineer Corps of the War Department have indorsed the project.

According to the Automobile Chamber of Commerce, the increase in fatalities caused by motor vehicles is due not to greater recklessness in driving but to the larger number of cars in use. The mortality rate per 1,000 automobiles registered is said to have remained stationary. Yet the increase in fatalities from 274 in 1911 to 451 in 1913, th roughou t the State, is unquest ionably larger than might have been expected in view of the more stringent traffic regula­tions of the last year or two.

Since Lloyd George's land taxes went into effect a number of realty holdings in England and Scotland have been put upon the market. The latest to find a buyer is the freehold estate in the barony of Assynt, Sutherlandshire, belonging to the Duke of Sutherland. The purchaser is John William Stewart, a railroad contractor of Vancouver, who is to pay $300,000 for it, if the deal is sanctioned by the courts . The property is entailed, which accounts for the necessity of submitting the transac­tion to a judicial review.

T w o Wise Decisions. T h e Public Service Commiss ioners

have finally adopted two wise decisions. They have decided to connect the Lex­ington avenue subway with the Pa rk avenue subway by means of a diagonal tunnel under the Grand Union Hote l , and they have decided to place the ex­press s tat ion of the Broadway subway at 42d s treet instead of at 47th street . T o one who is not an official the com­missioners seem to have taken an un­necessarily long t ime to reach two deci­sions the need of which has from the beginnin.g been fairly obvious; but they have decided r ight in the end—which is the impor tan t thing. T h e location of the express s tat ion of the Broadway subway at 42d s treet will in part icular confer large and last ing benefits upon the travell ing public of New York City. L o n g Acre Square is the most impor tan t meet ing point of the two systems, as well as one of the most impor tan t cen­ters of traffic in Manha t tan .

T h e location of two express s ta t ions at 42d s treet will enable Brooklyn pas­sengers to reach the west side of Man­hat tan and the Bron.x with the smallest amount of inconvenience; and it will per form a cor respond ing service in respect to Brooklyn for the inhabi tants of the W e s t Side and the Bronx. I t will give passengers on the Brooklyn Rapid Trans i t an easier connect ion with the Grand Central Stat ion and an easier way of reaching the places of amuse­ment and the shops on and near 42d street . I t will also give the lower W e s t Side of Manha t t an bet ter access to cer­tain par t s of Queens than they could otherwise obtain. T h e result will un­doubtedly be the conferr ing on the L o n g Acre Square s ta t ion of the pr imacy a m o n g all the s ta t ions on both branches of the dual subway. In the course of t ime more passengers will embark, dis­embark and t ransfer at that point than at any other point in the whole city, and, of course, correspondingly extensive a r r angemen t s will have to be made for the accommodat ion of this traffic. I t will mean the const ruct ion of a capa­cious concourse, leading to and from the several subway platforms, and along this concourse more people will pass than a long any o ther footway in the city. I t will enable a passenger both to t ransfer from any one subway to any other sub­way and to re turn to the surface at any par t of L o n g Acre Square as far no r th as 43d street .

T h e two express s ta t ions will s t re tch down Broadway and Seventh avenue as far south as 40th s t reet and ought to make the p rope r ty in that immediate ne ighborhood peculiarly available for theat res . In reaching this decision the commission has deserved well of the people of New York, but the way to deserve bet ter of them will be to avoid further delays and to concent ra te all their energies on accelerat ing the con­struct ion of the new system. T h e addi­tional delay of every month is enor­mously costly to the p roper ty owners and people of New York City. T h e mos t t roublesome technical quest ions have now been decided, and the kno t ty engineer ing or financial problems which remain should be quickly disposed of. Every section of the new system should, if possible, be placed under contract dur­ing the next few months .

Confiscation Through the Single-Tax. T h e pres ident of the Manha t t an

Single-Tax Club published in the las*^ issue of the Record and Guide a defence of the single-tax which is wor th a little considerat ion. Mr. Mason is a very lib­eral advocate of the single-tax. H e does not wish to confiscate exis t ing land values. H e says : "Whi le I believe that land values are created by the commun­ity and should have gone to the com­muni ty from the beginning, I also believe that having made land a subject of sale and purchase for centuries we are moral ly es topped from taking from the land owners their present posses­sions." H e seeks, consequently, to apply

the single-tax wi thout confiscation, and this he believes can be done by the grad­ual appropr ia t ion by the city of the $150,000,000 which, according to him, represents the annual increase in land values.

W i t h o u t admi t t ing Mr. Mason ' s p re ­mises, we may none the less dissent from his conclusion. If, as he says, the communi ty is "moral ly es topped from taking from the land owners their p resen t possess ions ," he has assuredly pronounced a moral condemnat ion on the single-tax, for the single-tax would most assuredly result in confiscating a certain par t of exist ing urban land values. T h e result of car ry ing out the plan which Mr. Mason proposes , of low­er ing the tax on buildings by $10,500,000 every year for five years , would be to deprive a large number of real es ta te owners of their p roper ty . Mr. Mason 's calculation is based upon an average annual increase of land value in New York City, amoun t ing to $150,000,000; but he over looks the fact that of late years there has been no such increase in land values. T h e cons tan t augmen ta ­tion of taxes has resul ted in the appro ­priat ion by the city of a large par t of any increase which may have taken place. T h e addit ions which have been made of late years to the assessed valu­ation of real estate have been due to an a t t empt to level up these values for purposes of taxat ion. They do not for the most pa r t represen t an increase in the price at which real es ta te can be sold. Under condi t ions now prevail ing in the New Y''ork real es ta te marke t the increased taxat ion of g round values would simply mean the confiscation of exis t ing ground values and in many cases the part ial wiping out of the se­curity for the mor tgage .

Even if, however, the annual increase of land values should amount , as Mr. Mason says, to $150,000,000 a year, his plan to impose the s ingle- tax would still result in confiscation. H e mus t know that the increase in g round values is not spread evenly th roughou t the city. Some p rope r ty would have increased consid­erably in price. Some proper ty would have been only modera te ly affected; and, finally, some proper ty would have ei ther diminished in price or remained unaf­fected In the case of the last two classes of real es ta te the transfer of the building ta.x to the land would certainly result in the- confiscation of par t or all of the value of the land. T h u s any method of imposing a single-tax such as that proposed by Mr. Mason -would re ­sult in a gross discrimination. T h e in­creased land tax might be carried with ease by some taxpayers , whereas in the case of o thers it would mean severe and probably i r remediable loss. T h e only way in which the city governmen t could appropr ia te some of the increment in real es ta te values wi thout injustice is by means of the increment tax.

Cannot Afford to Bridge the Hudson. T h e people who favor a H u d s o n River

br idge have been ge t t ing very active of late and intend to make an effort to secure the legislation which is necessary for the cons t ruc t ion of such a connec­tion between New Y o r k and New Jersey . T h e t e rms of the bill divide the cost, which is es t imated at between $40,000,-000 and $50,000,000, between the city of New Y o r k and the ne ighbor ing coun­ties in New Jersey . I t is safe to say that any such legislation will meet with vigorous opposi t ion on this side of the river. New York is not in any posit ion to spend $20,000,000 or $25,000,000 on a Hudson River bridge. T h e city cannot afford the expendi ture , and its inhabi­tan ts would not derive any benefit from its const ruct ion commensura te with the expense. W h e n the first Brooklyn Bridge was built, Brooklyn paid two-thirds of the cost, while Manha t t an paid only one-third, a division which fairly represen ts the p ropor t iona te benefit which the two sides of the Hudson River would derive from a similar con­nection. But even if New Je rsey were willing to pay two- th i rds of the cost New York would not be interested

February 14, 1914 RECORD AND GUIDE 295

enough to contribute the remainder. One or two traffic tunnels are all that is needed to accommodate the vehicles which need to cross under or over the Hudson River. The taxpayers have spent enough money on bridges. They are a luxury—in which not even New York is rich enough to indulge.

Untaxing Buildings Would Make Realty Investments Uncertain.

Editor nf the RECORD AND GUIDE : It seems from the article, "In Defense

of the Single Tax," by Mr. Alfred Bishop Mason, president of the Manhattan Single Tax Club, in your issue of Febru­ary 7, that both Prof. Joseph French Johnson and I were mistaken in our opposition to the single ta.x. I can be­lieve this of myself, but not of Pro­fessor Johnson.

I had an idea (and possibly Prof. Johnson had it also) from what Henry George and other single taxers have written scores of times that the single tax advocates proposed to levy a tax on land which would equal its income and destroy its sellin.g value. Now comes Mr. Mason, describing himself as a single taxer, who proposes a perfectly obvious increment tax, which is not a single tax at all. To call it a "single tax, limited" is no more likely to make it pleasing to land owners than the high­wayman who promises not to take your watch if you give him your purse.

From the ta.x assessors we have the statement that the annual increase in the value of land in New York City amounts to $150,000,000. If that is true, it amounts to only 3 per cent, on the as­sessed valuation of land in the city, which is in round numbers $5,000,000,000. This is less than if the money invested had been loaned on mort,gage.

This increase of $150,000,000 is made up of several items, among them one of $15,000,000 in assessments, which is a contribution to capital account from earnings of labor and is not an unearned increment, but belongs to the owners.

Another item is an increase in the value of land by reason of the erection of buildings on it. This is not an un­earned increment, but also belongs to the owners of the buildings. On the other hand, the assessed value of build­ings and improvements is $3,000,000,000 in round numbers. Buildings decrease in value at least 5 per cent, a year, or $150,000,000, which equals the increase in land, including the contribution from as­sessments.

Our investments in land have been based on the theory that where there is a decrease in the value of buildings il is made up by an increase in the value of the land. This makes for steadiness of values and accounts in large part for the confidence investors all over the world have in New York City real estate. Who would be benefited by making real estate investments uncertain, as would be the case if the buildings were the only security? Is it to be supposed that cheaper rents would result?

CYRUS C. MILLER. New York, Feb. 10.

Overlapping Municipal Departments. Editor of the RECORD AND GUIDE :

I have read with considerable interest in the Record and Guide the article on overlapping of department orders and the resulting confusion. This matter is nothing new to the architects practicing in this city who have complained for many years of this ridiculous condition; in fact, ever since the enactment of the present Tenement House Law, which was made ridiculous in its enforcement by former commissioners, we have endeav­ored to have this department consoli­dated with the Building Department, where it properly belon,gs.

The public at large is being hood­winked in the enactment of the various new laws in the interest of the working or industrial community, who derive but little real benefit from such enactments; but they, as well as the taxpayer, must bear the burden of having these laws

carried into effect by an army of in­spectors, etc.

Whenever a new department has been created it must be headed by a high-sal­aried commissioner, with his staff of assistants, suitable headquarters, etc.; otherwise the department would be of little value; and this, of course, costs money.

If the entire work as now done by the various separate departments where con­solidated under one head, and that the Building Bureau, the work as now re­quired to be done would be accomplished in a systematic manner without the pres­ent annoyance and conffict of the vari­ous departments and at a cost of but little more money than now required by the Building Bureaus of the city.

Without going into details, the appro­priation for three of the city departments are as follows: Building Departments $755,110 Tenement House Department.. 767,109 Fire Prevention 259,425

Total $1,781,644 What sums are used by the Water,

Sewer, Health, and Industrial Depart­ments to keep the inspectors busy 1 am unable to say. ADAM E. FISCHER.

Local Assessments for Playgrounds. Editor of the RECORD AND GUIDE :

In view of the movement of the Old South Brooklyn Civic League, the appli­cation of the Harlem Chamber of Com­merce, and the bill introduced in the .Assembly by Assemblyman August Flamman of Kings County, for the acqui­sition and condemnation of property in various sections of the Boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn for playground purposes, the Brooklyn Board of Real Estate Brokers has adopted the follow­ing:

Be it resolved, that we, the Brooklyn Board of Real Estate Brokers, desire re­spectfully to protest against any such further expenditure of the public moneys for the purpose outlined, particularly in view of the number of small parks scat­tered throughout the city, portions of which are and should be made available for playground purposes without detri­ment to the park or the neighboring property. And we recommend that the policy established by the Board of Esti­mate and Apportionment in the fall of last year whereby the cost of the acqui­sition of the Brownsville playground is to be assessed upon a certain local area be strictly adhered to in all such applica­tions for local playground sites, such being the most fair and equitable to the taxpayers at large.

And be it resolved, that there is abso­lutely nothing whatever in this resolution that could be construed that this board is opposed to playgrounds. On the con­trary, we are very much in favor of play­grounds under the above conditions.

And, further be it resolved, that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to His Honor, the Mayor, the Comptroller, the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, the chairman of the Sinking Fund Com­mission, the presidents of all the bor­oughs, and the President of the Board

.of Aldermen. BROOKLYN BOARD OF REAL

ESTATE BROKERS, C. C. Mollenhauer, President.

Keep the Public Service Commission Out of Politics.

Editor of tlie RECORD AND GUIDE : Those of us who have been actively

identified with the plans for rapid tran­sit improvement in New York during the last three years, are now vitally in­terested with the public at large regard-in.g the appointment of a commissioner to succeed Commissioner Eustis in the Public Service Commission. There is evidence of a growing tendency to re­gard the appointments to the Public Ser­vice Commission on the basis of political expediency rather than on the basis of public welfare. There is also evidence of a disregard of the geographical di­visions of the city.

The commissioners' oath of oflice, of course, covers the entire city, but it has always been felt that there should not be a preponderance of commissioners from one locality. Commissioner Eustis has been regarded as especially qualified to maintain the interests of the Bronx in the general development of plans for the city at large. In the consideration of his successor, however, many names have been advocated which have no identification with this section of the city, or even with transit improvement, although there are at least three or four Bron.x men who have made a careful study of municipal transit, and who are also familiar with the other departments of work coming under the jurisdiction of the commission.

-Anyone who has studied rapid transit in New York and has studied the meth­ods of European cities, including transit and other branches of municipal utilities, and especially those in German cities, cannot fail to realize the importance of a Public Service commissionership as it bears upon the daily convenience and the annual ta.x assessment of the people of New York. If the public itself re­garded the work of the Public Service Commission at its full value to the city, there would be an emphatic protest against even the suspicion that appoint­ments to the commission were made with any other consideration than the important work for which the commis­sion was designed, and whicli it will be able to carry out, if the public's concep­tion of its scope and importance does not become so blurred as to permit deviation from the original standards.

It -would be well for the city if the scope and purpose of the Public Service Commission, and the character and vol­ume of the transactions with which it is concerned, were frequently forced upo.n the attention of taxpayers and of those who depend upon public utilities in their flaily life.

W. R. MESSENGER.

Praiseworthy Public Service. Editor of the RECORD AND GUIDE :

As a reader of your publication, and believing that where praise is due it should be given, I want to pay a tribute to the Bureau of Buildings in the Bor­ough of Richmond.

I had occasion to visit there some time ago to fill out certain blanks, with which I was unfamiliar, and the courtesy and consideration by the clerk in charge and his assistants was certainly praiseworthy. While I was present I noticed that many of those who called wished to file plans for small dwellings, and they were evi­dently not conversant with the details, but these were fully explained in a kindly manner, suggestions made, and every as­sistance given.

In these days when criticism is ram­pant of city employes, I hold it is equally just that praise be rendered where de­served, and that other readers, and pos­sibly your own representatives, will bear me out concernin.g the bureau above re­ferred to, as regards patience, tactfulness and kindly consideration.

JOHN M C D O N A L D . 557 West 141st Street, N. Y., Feb. 5.

A Get-Together Force Wanted. Editor of the RECORD AND GUIDE :

It may seem presumptuous for the writer, a layman, to exnress an opinion in commendation of your lucid and con­vincing thesis on the real estate fra­ternity's need of a get-together force. If the polls prove to be the deciding me­dium for treatment, why not some at­tempt to coalesce more with the voters (the tenants) ? The landlords are a small quantity in comparison. If it is pos­sible, why not arrange an alliance of the Merchants' Association, the Econ­omy League and the Realty Board, com­bining also with financial and labor organizations and reform movements, with a give-and-take policy to seek the common end of the supremacy of our city in order that peace and harmony may prevail over antipathy and chaos. It should not prove impossible to ar­range. A NEW YORKER.

• The Bulk of the Trading Affected I 1 Properties on the Upper West Side. |

Most of the transactions consummated this week concerned small and incon­spicuous properties. Nearly all sections of the city co.itributed to an increase in the number of sales and aided in doubling last week's record. The holiday ap­parently had no effect on the business. The more important deals of the week concerned West Side holdings. A high-class West End avenue apartment house and another on St. Nicholas place were particularly noticeable. Other interesting sales involved a loft building on 26th street and vacant plots on Riverside drive acquired by operators.

The total number of sales in Man­hattan this week was 45 against 22 for last week and 35 a year ago.

The number of sales south of 59th street was 7, compared with 7 last week and 15 a year ago.

The sales north of 59th street aggre­gated 38, compared with 15 last week and 20 a year ago.

From the Bronx—16 safes at private contract were reported, against 11 last week and 14 a year ago.

The amount involved in the Manhat­tan and Bron.x auction sales this week was $295,079, compared with $640,294 last week, making a total since Jan. 1 of $6,238,594. The figure for the corre­sponding week last year was $1,199,391, making a total since Jan' 1, 1913, of $6,389,250.

UNITED OWNERS' BALL.

A Numerous Attendance at Their Annual Reception at Terrace Garden—Fea­tures of the Evening's Entertainment. A large and representative .gathering

of real estate holders assembled at the •United Real Estate Owners' Associa­tion's annual reception and ball at Ter­race Garden, on Lincoln's Birthday. The numerous organizations identified with the association attended with such large delegations that the big hall was taxed to its capacity. Boxes had previously been sold at auction to each of these organizations, including the Greater New 'York Taxpayers' Association, the Real Estate Protective Association, the 10th, l l th and 17th 'Wards Taxpayers' Association, the 18th and 21st Wards Taxpayers' Association, the Real Estate Owners' Association of the 12th and 19th Wards, the South Bronx Property Owners' Association, the Murray Hill Taxpayers' Association, and the Harlem Property Owners' Association. The box holders held receptions of their own in each of the boxes, at the close of the vaudeville performance, which opened the program at 8:15.

The dancing arran.gements were under the supervision of William H. Mehlich, who introduced some picturesque fea­tures, in the way of illuminating with various colors several of the dances. The grand march, in which nearly all joined, was led by President Henry Bloch and Miss Louise Volz.

Among those present were Tenement

House Commissioner Murphy, Deputy Commissioner Abbott, Cyrus C. Miller, Magistrate Levy and a number of As­semblymen, Aldermen and other public officials. Handsome souvenirs were dis­tributed in the form of the official year book, which featured special articles by Cyrus C. Miller, William A. Prender­gast and 'William H. Abbott, -Jr.

The reception and ball were managed by the arrangement committee, of which Charles H. Sehnelle was chairman; Charles J. F. Bohlen, treasurer, and Isaac Hyman, secretary. The chairmen of other committees for the occasion were Isaac Hyman, Harry Bierhoff, Henry Bloch, VVilliam H. Mehlich and Edward Engel.

Connec t ing t h e Subway Lines .

I t has been definitely decided tha t the junct ion be tween the exis t ing subway and the new Lex ing ton avenue subway shall be made at 42d street . T h e Publ ic Service Commiss ion has ins t ructed its Chief Eng inee r to prepare plans for the const ruct ion of wha t is known as the diagonal stat ion plan for this junct ion. The exis t ing subway runn ing down P a r k avenue will be connected with the L e x ­ington avenue subwav nor th of 42d s t reet by a diagonal branch runn ing from the exis t ing subwav. under the Grand Union Hote l , diagonally across 42d street and under the p rope r ty of the New York Central on the corner of Lex ing ton ave­nue and 42d street , into the Lex ing ton avenue line. T h e express stat ion 'will be located on this diagonal line, and will ex­tend under the grea ter par t of the con­nect ing line. I t will connect with the Grand Central Stat ion. With the exis t ing subway, the H u d s o n ' and Manha t t an Railroad and the Steinwav Tunne l . T h e Commission has decided to condemn the p roper ty of the Grand LTnion Hote l , which will be needed for the purpose . .\n easem*nt under the proper ty of the New York Central , on the nor th side of the street , will be acquired ei ther by nurchase or by condemnat ion . A change has also been authori7ed in the route of the 162d street and Eighth avenue_ con­nection. -vN'hich -will connect the exist ing Ninth avenue elevated railroad with the prODOsed elevated railroad on the Je ­rome avenue branch of the Lex ing ton avenue subway. . \ s originally planned, this route curved to the south after leav­ing Anderson avenue and cont inued east­

erly across J e r o m e avenue and th rough 16zd street to River avenue and a con­nection with the J e rome avenue line. The change involves the cont inuat ion of the route from .Anderson avenue in a s t ra ight line to the J e rome avenue ele­vated on River avenue, thus el iminat ing two curves. By this change the s t re tch of 162d s t reet east of Je rome avenue will be relieved of the elevated s t ruc ture , which will run th rough the inter ior of the blocks fronting on tha t street . An agreement to modify the certificate g ran ted to the In t e rbo rough Rapid Trans i t Company for this purpose has been approved by the commission and sent to the company for its acceptance.

The re will be an express s tat ion on the Broadway subway in Manha t t an a t 42d street . Th i s is the subway which is being built for opera t ion by the New York Municipal Railway Corporat ion. The plans of the Public Service Com­mission for the Firs t Dis t r ic t provided for a local s tat ion at 42d street , but p rop­erty owners at T imes Square objected and demanded an express s ta t ion. After consider ing the ma t t e r _ for several month the commission decided to g ran t the request for an express stat ion, bu t to locate the stat ion in Broadway south of 42d street . T h e proper ty owners wished it located nor th of 42d street , but there were too many engineer ing difficulties in the way.

Mos t Difficult Subway W o r k Fi rs t .

Chief Eng ineer Alfred Craven of the Public Service Commiss ion had adopted the plan of placing under cont rac t first the most difficult work, which would take the longes t t ime to build, and to follow this wi th cont rac t s for the less difficult work. Preference is also given to the lines which will be necessary to enable both the In t e rbo rough Rapid Trans i t Company and the New York Municipal Railway Corpora t ion to begin operat ion by Janua ry 1, 1917, as contem­plated by the Dual Sys tem agreements .

As far as Brooklyn is cencerned. Eng i ­neer Craven says the New U t r e c h t ave­nue elevated railroad has been placed under cont rac t ; tha t the Gravesend ave­nue elevated line would have been placed under contract , but for the failure of the commission to get the necessary consents of p roper ty owners and the necessity for applying to the Appel la te Division for legalization of the route .

T h e plans for the Canal s t reet subway, to connect the Manha t t an Bridge with the Broadway subway in Manha t t an , will be ready for adver t i s ing within two or three weeks. T h e Broadway subway in Manha t t an is under cont rac t as far nor th as 26th street , and the remainder , between 26th s treet and Seventh avenue, would be under cont rac t except for the con t roversy which has arisen in regard to the T i m e s Square stat ion. P lans for tbe extension of the Broadway subway th rough S9th and 60th s t reets to the Queensboro Bridge will be ready for adver t i s ing by March 1.

P lans for the Whi t eha l l -Mon tague s treet and Old Slip-Clark s treet tunnels will be ready for adver t i s ing about the middle of February . P lans for the F la t ­bush avenue section of the Eas t e rn P a r k ­way subwav will be ready for adver t is ­ing about Feb rua ry 1, and the plans for the remain ing sections to Buffalo avenue about Augus t 1; that the plans for the Nos t rand avenue branch of the Eas t e rn Pa rkway subway, will be ready by July 1, and those for the Livonia avenue exten­sion by .-\ugust 1. T h e chief engineer also stated tha t cont rac t s for the recon­struct ion of exis t ing lines in the Brook­lyn system had al ready been let fo.' the Broadway-Myr t l e avenue connect ion, the Lu the ran Cemetery extension and the Sea Beach line. T h e commission is now in communicat ion with the Federa l .government -with the view of .ge t t ing i t s consent to the const ruct ion of the W h i t e ­ha l l -Montague s treet tunnel , under the F a s t River. T h e r e is a difference be­tween the commiss ion and the W a r Depa r tmen t in regard to the condit ions under which this consent shall be given, but it is expected tha t an agreement will be arrived at in t ime to prevent delay in the const ruct ion of the tunnel .

Light Your Halls

Twenty inspectors have recently been detailed by the Tenement House De­partment to see that hall­ways of a p a r t m e n t and tenement houses are lighted at night in accordance with the law.

The law reads that there shall be a light at night in the lower hall and one in the hall on the second floor. Many owners and occupants of tenement buildings un­consciously v io la te these provisions because of an inadequate method of con­trolling the light.

If you feel that the hall­ways of the buildings you own or occupy are inad­equately lighted or the light­ing improperly controlled we shall be pleased to render you any assistance in our power.

Write us and one of our lighting experts will show you how electric light will not only protect you against law-violation, but he will prove to you that it's the most economical form of lighting for hallways.

BUILDING MANAGEMENT ! i I

TRAFFIC CONGESTION IN T A L L BUILDINGS CAN | BE OBVIATED BY DOUBLE-DECKED ELEVATORS. |

i. By HERMAN GUMPEL, Structural and Mechanical Engineer, of Chicago 1 I I I Conducted by Raymond P. Roberts, Building Manager for the American Real Estate Co. j ilMlillililiilillllBM IIIIMIIIillllllill ^^^^^^^ Illllllillilllllllllllilililllllllillllil

T HE principles governing elevator traffic form a subject of great in­

terest to those responsible for the re­turns on the capital invested in tall buildings. It is obvious that the eleva­tor installations in many office, mercan­tile and factory buildings, not to men­tion department stores, are seriously lacking in capacity. The present stand­ard of sufficiency is the satisfaction of the tenants merely. The possibility of fire or panic in a building where the occupants of the upper floors are de­pending on the elevators for relief, is nowhere taken into account. Since build­ings are built for profit merely, their operation is a competitive business, and only legislation, dictating the minimum amount of equipment from the view­point of emergency accommodation, will bring a change.

But even with an abundance of eleva­tors an otherwise fireproof building is not fire safe. To effect this, all elevator shafts and stairway wells, as Well as the respective d o o r s , should be fireproof. A still better solu­tion is shown in the accompany illustra­tion. Here not only elevator and stair­way wells, but also the elevator land­ings, are surrounded by a fireproof par­tition. A.iy combus­tible material would have to be kept out from this part of the building. This would make obsolete a re­cent suggestion to b i s e c t a factory building from cellar to roof into two iso­lated sections by means of a fire wall, allowing the occu­pants in case of fire in one section to take refuge in the other, however ren­dering stairways and elevators in a sec­tion useless, where there is a conflagra­tion. A building, ac­cording to the illus­tration would be d i v i d e d into as many horizontal fire isolated c o m p a r t -

ments as there are floors, and the occu­pants of a burning section could easily find a safe place of refuge with the berie-fit of full elevator and stairway facili­ties.

The EfEciency Liinit. Mr. Bolton in his recent article sug­

gests that the following advice should be given to elevator operators in busi­ness buildings generally: "After your car is half-filled, the more passengers you admit per trip, the fewer you carry per hour." In other words, Mr. Bolton is placing an efficiency limit of loading for elevators at fifty per cent, of the full floor caoacity, and is claiming that any passenger carried above this limit •\vill lower the number of passengers carried per hour.

Elevator traffic conditions in biiiUings governed by such an efficiency limit of loading vary greatly. Much depends on the class of buildings, on the arrange­ment of the elevator plant, on the length

of time required by the stops and on the number of passengers entering or leaving the car at each stop. These lat­ter two totals are not constant. If there are only a few stops, the car does not exceed its normal round-trip time, and still it may leave the main floor densely crowded. Moreover, the amount of inter-story traffic, even if the car leaves the main floor only half-filled, can lengthen the round-trip time considerably.

"Down" stops, where the passengers are stepping merely in front of each other and leaving the car at the main floor in one unit, are decidedly shorter than up stops, where passengers are fre­quently disturbing each other in their movements. In office buildings the maximum traffic is only one way, either "up" early in the morning and after lunch time, or "down" late in the after­noon or before lunch time.

Results of Observation. All these complications of conditions

influence the efficiency limit of loading. During rush time "up," I have fre­quently observed that there was such a

TYPICAL FLOOR PLAN OP FACTORY LO FT BUILDING; ELEVATORS, STAIRWAYS, LANDINGS AND LOBBIES FIREPROOF ENCLOSED.

proportion between round-trip time and number of passengers carried as to sug­gest an efficiency limit of seventy per cent. However, the same car when carry­ing a full load of passengers but making fewer stops was arriving within schedule time. It readily will be seen that in this case half-filled elevators would not con­tribute to the betterment of the service. Besides, in real practice, the public would most energetically object against any tendency of elevator operators to dis­regard stopping signals at the enclosure doors with only half-filled cars. I venture to say that an hour's test dur­ing rush time with half-filled cars and in a fairly rented building would dis­prove this rule.

In any event I fully agree with Mr. Bolton that elevators in many buildings are seriously lacking in capacity, a most objectionable feature, especially in view of the important part elevators play in an emergency. In this case, an elevator

will ascend to a certain floor without stop, accept there as many passengers as possible and descend to the main floor, where it will discharge its human load. On account of the absence of a multitude of stops, the observance of any efficiency limit of loading will not relieve the situation in the least, but would decidedly be a disadvantage.

The Double-Deck Elevator. Mr. Bolton advises as the only remedy

for traffic congestion to increase the cus­tomary number of elevators. But we all know that the income derived from the capital invested in tall buildings is limited and on an average not more than S'/i per cent. Any tendency towards more elevators than heretofore, which would reduce the usable floor space and consequently the returns on the invest­ment, would meet with disfavor from the realty operators. Taking into con­sideration the interests of both owner and tenant, the only logical solution is the double-deck elevator. These have been frequently described and favorably commented on in current literature

(Record and Guide of Dec. 4, 1912), Ele­vators of this type accommodate t w o floors at one single stop simultaneously, thus reducing the number of possible stops to one-half. A great .number of stops during rush time are at adjacent floors, and stops in the same direction and under similar conditions are re­quiring about the same length of time. This will explain the simultaneous a n d therefore time sav­ing action of a dou­ble - deck elevator, while serving two floors at o.ie single stop.

• Old Premises Made

Over. An interesting ob­

ject lesson in estates management is pre­sented by the group of o ld dwellings which Vincent As­tor is making over in 43d and 44th streets, opposite the Hotel Astor. Here were ten houses, five

on each street, and each having four stories With two-story extensions in the " u """ 1 ' ' revenue from them was less than the land should produce, so Mr. .^stor determi.ied on a change.

First, the fences between the yards were removed and one large central court, which will have grass plots, seats and flowers next Spring, has been laid out. In the buildings the first floors have been fitted out as stores, while on the floors above the doorways, halls and stairs have been rearranged so as to altogether transform the old layout into exceptionally cozy bachelor apartments.

—Of $135,625,710 e.xpended during the year 1913 for the operation and adminis­tration of the city government, accord­ing to Comptrolli-r Prendergast, the modest sum of $101,369,113 was paid in salaries alone. No wonder taxes and rents are high.

BUYING BUILDING MATERIALS.

Some Timely Tips for the Building Manager and Owner's

Representative. A T some time or another the build-

- ~^ ing manager or owner must enter the building material market for sup­plies. Those supplies may be for new buildings or for alterations. Frequently the contractor is employed to make the purchases, but in this department the building manager or owner's represen­tative has an important part in making sure that the quality of materials he is paying for is brought to the job. Team work between the building manager and the contractor is essential, and some of the leading contracting houses of the day have systematized this work so that the building manager in figuring on tlie completion of the structure may know exactly when he can promise his tenants occupancy. This is the way L. C. Wason, in "Problems of the Con- " tractor," describes how one contracting firm caters to the building manager.

"In the purchase of manufactured ar­ticles such as doors and windows, and in letting subcontracts, hundreds of dol­lars can be saved and better results ob­tained if handled by a person who by long experience has become familiar with all the details of the materials themselves, the dealers and manufac­turers in various localities, and who is also familiar with the relationship of all these materials to one another, as well as with the estimate and contract.

Paying For Sash Priming Twice. "To illustrate one little point where

a subdivision has caused expense. In order to save time, window-frames have been bought by the job superintendent froin a local mill. These are sometimes primed with paint by the manufacturer and sometimes are not. If the painting contract is let by another person with­out knowing what has been done with window-frames, it has happened that priming has been paid for twice.

"Similarly, all changes, either addi­tions or deductions, from the original design, should be handled by one per­son in order to see that no mistakes are made.

"The purchasing department never buys an unknown sand until it has been thoroughly investigated by a laboratory, although this may cause an annoying delay. The tests continue at intervals throughout the progress of a job. Once, gravel from the most available pit had a coating of a reddish substance ap­pearing to the eye to be clay, which was strong enough to hold grains of sand to the stone even after it had been han­dled roughly with a shovel. By the usual eye and hand tests this material would have been rejected, yet samples sent to a cement-testing laboratory showed on the average about 150 per cent, of the strength of the same cement with standard sand. It seemed peculiar that the fine red material should have no injurious eflfect on the tensile strength tests of briquettes with bank sand, while low compression tests were obtained on cubes made with gravel.

"The laboratory testing the same re­ported that under the microscope this fine red clayey material was really a very gritty substance, and called it finely pulverized rock. It clung tightly to the stone, binding to it particles of sand, and yet washed off when shaken in water. It appeared that if this fine ma­terial could be removed from the sur­face of the stone, and if it was not too plentiful, a perfectly satisfactory con­crete would be obtained with this ag­gregate. Experiments made by keeping a batch in the mixer a longer time than IS usually the custom appeared to clean the stone, and good, hard concrete was obtained with a not objectionable pink tint. Extra mixing was done through­out the job with complete satisfaction.

'The lumber and steel schedules are generally the first to demand attention. Lumber used in contact with cement

is almost always ordered planed four sides. A correct ordering schedule for lumber cannot be made, of course, until the work of detailing forms is nearly completed in the drafting-room. It is possible, however, to make an approxi­mate schedule for canvassing for prices. By referring to standards it is often possible to tell in advance what sizes are wanted, and in this way to be ready to order material forward immediately whenever centering details are com­pleted. As lumber arrives, the material of different dimensions, qualities and finishes is filed by a prearranged plan worked out in the office, handy to the woodworking shop, and given a number or letter obtained from the key plan.

Cutting Down Steel Cost. "The steel is taken ofif the plans by

one man and checked independently by another. This schedule is then studied in regard to reducing the variety of lengths, and frequently these can be re­duced to one-fifth of the number shown on plan. It is usual to order a schedule of bars three-quarter inch and larger in multiples of six inches, and to buy steel five-eighths inch and under in the longest lengths that can be put on a single flat car, and cut it up on the job.

"The largest size recommended, in the square, is one and one-quarter inch, and one and three-eighths inch in the round; the smallest, one-quarter inch; all sizes to be multiples of one-eighth inch.

"On one large job there were over 400 different lengths of bars shown on plans, and by scheduling large bars in multi­ples of six inches and ordering small bars in long lengths, as above described, the mill order was reduced to 46 differ­ent lengths. This method increased the weight of order so as to cost only eigh­teen dollars in excess of the exact sched­ule taken from plans. This amount was saved many times over in the greater convenience of sorting to deliver the small bars in bundles weighing from 125 to 145 lbs. This insures the men getting a load of proper weight for greatest efficiency. They are also easier to handle, with no picking up of one bar at a time and the trouble of unraveling that is found with small sizes."

BOILER SPECIFICATIONS.

Uniformity Desirable in the Interest of Both Manufacturers and Owners.

The large number of local laws regu­lating the construction of boilers in force throughout the United States has made it imperative that a man who is engaged in the manufacture of boilers for distribution throughout the entire country should seek to have uniform specifications enacted, so that he need not carry stocks of materials and stocks of boilers on hand to meet the require­ments of various localities. This opinion was expressed by Thomas E. Durban, of the Erie City Iron Works, of Erie, Pa., before the American Boiler Manu­facturers' Association at Cleveland.

"The multiplicity of laws, differing one from another, make a needless waste," said Mr. Durban, "and as the cry of the country now is for conservation and economy we think that this argument can well be used with the lawmakers of all the States who will take the subject up. The waste comes from the fact that a manufacturer is now alrnost compelled to build each boiler to meet the require­ments of each law, necessitating slow progress through the shop and enorm­ous investment in material. The further fact that different manufacturers put different interpretations on the laws brings about a great conflict in the price of boilers.

"With a uniform law and the co-oper­ation of all manufacturers these differ­ences would be largely overcome, so that the boiler would reach the consumer not only a better boiler, but for less money. Not only would the manufac­ture be able to produce the goods and sell them for less money, and be more certain of his profit, but he would elim­

inate the probability of a large loss in case his foreman or designing engineer should get confused in the various laws. There is no concern manufacturing boil­ers that has not suffered from the lack of uniformity in the laws. All this can be eliminated; the public can be protected, both as to its life and its investment; the manufacturer can make more money on less investment, if we can suceed in getting concurrent legislation, or ap-pro.ximately concurrent legislation, in various States.

Concurrent Legislation Needed. "We are fully alive to the fact that

no problem that has ever faced the .American people has been more dis­cussed than concurrent legislation. The different laws in different States tre­mendously embarrass manufacturers do­ing interstate trade, and they affect our social relations. We know the action that has been put forth to have uniform laws for crime and on credit, and on other matters too numerous to mention; but we believe no subject for concurrent legislation has been broached by people who have been so unitedly combined as to what is required as this problem that we have. And there is no doubt in the writer's mind that a conscientious effort on a specification upon which we have all united will influence the law­makers in a great number of States who have not yet passed a law and in turn will influence the laws already on the statute books to such an extent that cor­rections will be made in them to make them conform to a standard which we can and will ultimately adopt.

The* Present Diversity of Boiler Laws. "Boiler laws are coming out from the

East, VVest, North and South—in every direction. Not only are the laws them­selves different, but a different inter­pretation has been put upon the same la-w by different inspectors and different builders. I presume without exaggera­tion that there are at least one hundred laws and changes to laws in the United States alone governing the manufacture of our product, and this can be multi­plied by a thousand times as many in­spectors as there are laws.

"For instance: We have asked a de­cision of one point—the butt strapping of drums. It is our interpretation of the law as it is written, in several of the States, that it is necessary to make all butt strapped seams to a minimum length of 12 feet. We have been in­formed by some inspectors that this does not apply to water-tube boilers, and by other inspectors that it applies to all l)oilers. We conformed our specifica­tions to meet the letter of the law; that is, to have no butt strapped seams over 12 feet long, whereas we have found out since we put this order into effect in our -works that many boilers or drums of boilers are being made and passed with butt srtapped seams as long as 20 feet.

"In spite of all this, we are thorough­ly impressed that the boiler inspection laws have been and will be beneficial to us all—all the boiler manufacturers and all the users—and that out of it will come the ideal boiler in design, work­manship and material."

Income Tax Uncertainties. Many points in the income tax law still

remain in dispute among lawyers. Even the Government officers are sometimes at variance. The Deputy Commissioner of Internal Revenue has stated that he does not think that the clause of the act relating to indebtedness secured by col­lateral applies to mortgage indebtedness of real estate companies, and, moreover, the Department is not following the rul­ing of Attorney General Wickersham.

In this connection Walter Lindner, of the law committee of the Allied Real Estate Interests, says that real estate owners should be cautioned to this effect and advised mat, notwithstanding these rulings, the items of interest in question should be included under the head of expense in the return on the ground that the language of the act clearly justifies it, whatever may be the opinion of the Department.

USEFUL APPLIANCES

Novelties, New Applications of Familiar Devices and the Trend of Invention, Designed to Aid the Architect, Builder and Building Manager, Described Without Regard to Adveitising Consideration

A New Type of Window Screen.

THE difficulty experienced in procur­ing window screens that are so

constructed that small night insects can­not crawl through the space between the screen binder and the screen sash seems to have been removed by the introduc­

tion on the market of the system of screen sash illus­trated. It will be noted that there is a groove placed in the s a s h o v e r which the binding veneer is nailed. This gives an even

tension on all parts of the screen and also prevents insects from crawling into the room through tiny crevices opened up by reason of the old method of nail­ing screens fast to the sash by small nails at intervals.

to be cut, no plaster or partitions marred no window-trim is scratched, nor the furnishing of rooms disturbed. It con­sists of two-inch hollow tube guides, one of which contains the center of weight. These guides are adjusted by patented clamps on brackets, approximately 8 to 12 feet apart, which are seiSured to the building by expansion bolts. The ma­chines are protected from the weather by a hood, as shown in the illustration. The ropes cannot kink or twist as a re­sult of weather conditions, as they are held at uniform tension whether wet or dry. They are adaptable to buildings of any height.

Granite Rings on Steel Cores.

I N the construction of the Continental and Commercial National Bank

building in Chicago several novel con­struction features are being introduced. We illustrate herewith the unique method of setting the mammoth gran­ite pillars at the entrance of this build­ing that will represent in Chicago what the Equitable building will represent here in New York.

After the granite columns have been first laithed from the solid square block into cylindrical forms they are then

An Out-door Dumbwaiter. /'•> ONSIDERABLE attention is being ^ ^ given by architects and builders to the out-door steel tube dumbwaiter that is being manufactured by the Standard Electric & Elevator Co., of 123 South Calvert street, Baltimore. The advan­tage of this device is that it provides an inexpensive and space-saving conveni­ence for apartment houses and does not require any enclosure. The light is not

obstructed and neither is the swing of the window shutters interfered with.

One reason for the interest centered in this appliance is that considerable money can be saved by eliminating the expense of making a shaft through the center of the building. No floors have

segmented into approximately two foot sections by huge diamond saws. Be­fore the cap stones on these pillars are set these segments are lowered down over fabricated steel I's and are cemented into place.

The erection of this great building has caused more comment than any recent construction in Chicago since the early days when the Masonic Temple was the marvel of western city skyscrapers, and it is the peculiar application of building practice such as the placing of these columns that arouses such wide­spread interest. The employment of this system is said to reduce consider­ably liability to damage in transit of solid pillars. They are cheaper to pro­duce, cheaper to transport and with steel core they have greater weight sus­taining power. In case of fire calcina­tion with consequent collapse is not so

liable to occur because the weight of the superstructure is borne upon the steel core.

Elevator Shaft Safety. NJEWSP.APER articles told the story •'• ' the other day of a preoccupied man who stepped into an elevator car and, while the door was being closed, sud­denly decided to get off again. The car had started upward. He was thrown to the floor and his arm scraped the front wall of the shaft. The operator lost his head and turned the controller full on instead of full off. In the next in­

stant the car had shot up to the next floor where an overhanging floor-lip pro­jected a half inch into the shaft. The man's arm was caught by this projection and was cut off at the shoulder. Arms are worth from $5,000 to $100,000, de­pending upon owners.

The accompanying drawing shows what may happen in any elevator shaft at any time if the shaft has projections that are capable of catching and holding any object or person losing his balance in a car. It merely emphasizes in graphic detail, one way that accidents and subse­quent damage suits may be avoided. .Architects, owners, office building and apartment house managers knowing of dan,gerous conditions such as described to be existant in their buildings will find specialty houses in this city who, for comparatively little cost, will remove these danger spots without seriously in­terfering with the regular traffic in the shaft. The illustration is published by courtesy of the Burdette-Rountree Com­pany, 119 West 40th street.

Coating Iron -with Aluminum.

I NTERESTING experiments have been conducted at the Franklin Institute

in making iron rustproof by coating it with aluminum. The iron article to be coated is first galvanized or tinned and then immersed in molten aluminum at about 700 de.grees or 800 degrees C. During the immersion the surface is swept by steel brushes. The tin or zinc passes into the molten aluminum, and aluminum replaces it on the iron sur­face. The article is treated in this man­ner in two or more of such baths; the greater part of the tin or zinc is left in the first bath." It is claimed that this process causes the aluminum to adhere to the surface of the iron so well that it will not come off, tarnish, or corrode under the action of air, water or heat, and cannot be stripped off by mechanical means.

A MODEL CITY AT ARCHITECTS' EXHIBITION

A Unique Collection of Colonial Designs — Suburban Domestic and Landscape Work Predominate This Year — Few City Skyscrapers.

S TRIKINGLY different in its general aspect is this year's exhibition of

architectural works at the Fine Arts Building. Times not long ago are re-

inost numerous, and some say this is the department which evinces the most pronounced advancement and certainty of purpose. The tendency is plainly toward the American Colonial first of

VIEW OF BANKING ROOM GUARANTLE TRUST CO. BUILDING. Designed by York & Sawyer, Architects, Winne rs ot Medal of Honor for Architecture

called when commercial buildings, par­ticularly city skyscrapers, were the para­mount objects of interest and the most numerously represented of any class in the exhibitions. And then there was an era during which the modern city apart­ment house claimed an extraordinary amount of interest. Neither class has been prolific of late, or else has been dressing with so much sameness that the spotlight of professional interest has been directed elsewhere.

New York City work certainly does not dominate the architectural section this year. Always the city has something of monumental quality under way to be elegantly figured and prominently hung at the annual show; and, naturally, there are renderings of Mr. Cram's new design for the Cathedral of St. John's, Mr. Brunner's Riverside Drive extension, Carrere & Hastings' plan and plaster model of the Manhattan Plaza of the Manhattan Bridge and York & Sawyer's large panels depicting the Guaranty Trust Company's Building, besides some other city work.

Suburban Work. But a fair inference from the collec­

tion of pictures is that our city architects are busy with commissions for pub­lic and institutional buildings in other cities, and with domestic and landscape work in the suburban towns of Long Island, New Jersey and the Hudson Riv­er counties, as the departments named are very strongly represented. Of all the architectural renderings, those of country houses and grounds are the

all, and then in a lesser, but still in a marked degree, toward the English do­mestic styles.

Thus in the "model city" alcove, the prevailing style is our Colonial. This is

a collection of designs that have actually been translated into buildings. There is first a panorama of the dream city which shows the situation of every house, church, office building, house, store and factory, besides the school, bank, post office, court house, country club and public library. The residence of Prof. Lyon Phelps at New Haven, for which Murphy & Dana were the architects, the Weeks' house at Englewood by Hays & Hoadley, and the workmen's cottages at Jamaica, which Electus D. Litchfield planned, have been chosen by the com­mittee to represent the model residences. The Groton School by Peabody & Stearns, the Mason Library at Great Barrington by Blanchard & Barnes, the Piping Rock Clubhouse by Guy Lowell, a church at Andover by McKim, Mead & WKitel a bank at Danbury by Parker Morse Hopper, and the post office at Beverly, Mass., by James Knox Taylor, have been selected as typical buildings by the committee.

The gallery devoted to architecture is not very large and no doubt many in­teresting designs have been turned away this year as in the past, and of course the members of the committee who made the selections for the model city re­frained from introducing any of their own work. Hence there is nothing in the alcove from Goodhue, Lindeberg, Embury, Hardenburgh, Gmelin, Tomp­kins, Kiessling, Cass Gilbert, Hewlett, Brunner or Bacon. It is said that the committee collected eight or nine hun­dred photographs of buildings from which to make selections.

The medal of honor for architecture was awarded this year to York & Saw­yer, the inedal of honor for sculpture to Karl Bitter and the medal of honor for

mural painting to Barry Faulkner.

Department of Agriculture Is Urging the Cultivation of Chinese Importation. .\fter several years of experimenting In the

South the Department ot Agriculture at Wash­ington is ready to advise farmers in the warmer parts of the United States to grow varnish trees and will help start the new crop, which, with care, should bring good profits, even on ordinary land.

Last year the United States Imported 5,000,000 gallons ot tung oil, expressed from the seeds of the Chinese tung or wood-oil tree, an oil which in recent years has had a revolutionary effect on the varnish industry. I t makes a high-grade, quick-drying varnish with only slight tendency to crack.

The tree which produces this varnish is a native ot the Yangtze River region. In some re­spects it resembles the ca ta lpa ; In the Spring it is covered with large flower clusters before the leaves appear.

The tree begins to bear fruit when four or flve years old. The fruit is the size ot small apples, each containing four or five large oil seeds. The yield of these seeds in China is thirty to seventy-five pounds to the tree. The oil from the seeds constitutes nearly 23 per cent, of their substance. The apple-like fruit would be worth 23 to 40 cents a bushel, and when the trees are planted twenty feet apart the gross yield trom an acre would be. at these prices. $30 to $83 an acre. One eight-year-old tree near Tallahassee, Fla., bore last year two bushels of fruit.

The cultivation and marketing of the fruit and the manufacture of the oil from the tung tree is said to be a simple process. The distri­bution of several thousand trees in the South in lOiin and 11107 has brought out considerable Information as to the behavior ot tbe trees In the United States. It has proved a rapid grower find withstands a temperature approaching zero. It drops its leaves in the Winter and does not s tar t again until early Spring. Therefore its crop is not likely to be injured by late frosts.

Tung trees have grown and fruited well in South Carolina. Georgia. Alabama. Mississippi Louisiana. Texas. Florida, and California, and the Government specialists see no reason why the experiments should not result in a profitable industry, particularly where land is of little value for other crops.

The present consumption of tung oil In the United States would require about 40.000 acrea of orchards, and the depar tmen t of Agriculture points out that the consumption is likely to grow. The department has on hand t o r ' d i s ­tribution to experimenters a limited number ot one-year-old trees. What Is now wanted to de­velop tho industry, offlcials say. Is the creation of acre plantations in the hands of private In­dividuals.

Smokeless Combustion of Coal in Boiler Furnaces.

The Bureau of Mines has Just Issued Bulletin 40, which is a reprint of U. S. Geological Sur­vey Bulletin 373, revised by Henry Krelslnger. The authors of the original bulletin were D. T. Randall and H. W. Weeks. The Bureau of Mines has made extended tests to determine the con­ditions necessary for the smokeless combus­tions of bituminous coal In boiler furnaces. In tbe investigations of industrial establishments a study was made of the conditions in 13 of the larger cities in Illinots. Indiana. Kentucky, Maryland. Michigan. Missouri. New 3'ork, Ohio and Pennsylvania, between 400 and 500 plants being Inspected. Sufficient information was col­lected to make the data from 284 plants of value for this report. In nearly every city visited coal was supplied from points both In nnd out of the State, so that although nln« States wwe visited, the facts ascertained apply to coal trom a greater number. The main pur-nose of the inspection was to obtain a better knowledge of the influence of furnace design, and of the conditions under which combustion takes place, on the production of smok". The summary of conclusions as given in the Bulletin will indicate what was learned by the tests.

A furnace, well designed and operated, will burn manv coals without smoke up to a certain number of pounds per hour, the rate yarylng with difl'crent coals, depending on their chemi­cal composition. If more than this amount Is burned, the efflciency will decrease and smoke will lie made, owing to the lack of furnace capacity to supplv air and mix gases.

Extremely high volatile mat ter In th" cnal usually gives low efflciency. The highest effi­ciency was obtained when the furnace was run nt low capacitv. %vhen the furnace -was forced the efficiency decreased.

With a hand-fired furnace the best results were obt.nined when flring was done most fre-quontlv. with the smallest charge.

Small sizes of coal burned with less smoke than larsre sizes, but developed lower capacities.

Pent, lignite and sub-bltumlnous coal burned readilv In the tvpe of tlle-roofcd furnace used nnd developed the rated capacity -with prac­tically no smoke.

Coals that smoked badly gave efTlofencles S to f, ner cent, lower than the coals burning with little smoke.

The January Building Slump.

As shown by the prel iminary r epo r t to Brads t ree t ' s journa l last week, there was no gain in building expendi tures dur ing January , but r a the r a heavy shr inkage alike from January , 1913, and from D e ­cember of last year. T h e decrease from December was especially inarked, and a t New York City the falling off was very heavy because of the large total re­corded in December in Manha t t an Bor­ough. Takifig the country as a whole, the decreases ou tnumber the increases considerably, but the decrease a t New York appears relatively more p r o ­nounced because of the December total having been so large, the heaviest of any month for nearly two years , in fact.

T h e total aggrega te expendi tures at 125 cities for J anua ry was $42,976,618, as against $50,349,048 in January , 1912, and $63,766,048 in Dccei-iiber, 1913. T h e r e is here shown a decrease of 32.6 per cent, from December and of 14.6 per cent, from Janua ry last year. As part ial ly ex­plaining this s lump, it migh t be noted that the total buiiding expendi tures at New York in J anua ry (four bo roughs re ­por t ing) was $9,168,026, as against $10,-376,880 in Janua ry last year and $21,-017,173 in December, 1913. Here , it will be seen, the decrease was 56 per cent, from December and 11.6 per cent, from January , 1913.

» The Graduate College Group of Prince­

ton University. ( F r o m the Builder, London , England. )

One of the weak points of the Amer i ­can archi tect was considered to be their inability to unders tand and carry out Gothic—a failing readily unders tood when it is r emembered tha t the archi­tec tura l record of the United Sta tes covers little more than two centuries, and that, apar t from the indigenous re­mains of Mexico, Peru and Yucatan, no th ing remains in the two Amer icas of an earlier date than the Spanish Rena is ­sance buildings of Mexico and South­ern . \mer ica .

In these c i rc*mstances design of a Classic or Renaissance character is more natura l to the . \mer ican than the E u r o ­pean, and this is also emphasized because of the climatic condit ions of the Uni ted States, as over the g rea te r pa r t of its t e r r i to ry the summers possess a heat and intensity which we only find in Southern Europe .

Excep t ing for the round-arched R o m ­anesque, type of archi tec ture , which we may almost say was " invented" by Richardson, and which, after a series of years , was swept away by the general endeavor to follow classical lines, the buildings of every other type have been few ami far between. W e see in New York and many of the older towns^ de­liberate a t t empts to copy certain periods, usually with a grea ter and more pain­s tak ing a t t empt at accuracy than we find here. But the so-called Gothic of the Uni ted States is usually a hard and life­less imitation of cor responding work carried out here. VVe have now in E n g ­land a number of designers who can carry out churches and o ther buildings wliich coml)ine considerable freedom of design with much of the spirit which has rendered mediaeval work sn interest ing.

T h e building which we i l lustrate here, the Graduate College of Pr ince ton Un i ­versity, shows that one firm of archi tects in .America unders tand the spirit and nature of Gothic design, and we think the accon-ipanying i l lustrat ions will be of general interest to our readers . W e do not remember a finer instance of modern Gothic desi.gn in this country, and it is doubly in teres t ing as shov^^in.g what can be accomnlished by education, knowledge, and skill in a land wi thout mediaeval tradit io. is .

Mr. Cram believes' that the exponents of Classic t radi t ions are work ing nn wrnng lines, and, though we arc nnt with him on this jioint, we think the Pr ince­ton Colle.a-e shows the absolute mas te ry of tlic style which he believes in.

Messrs . Cram. Goodhue & Fersjuson are also the archi tects of the Atilitary College at W e s t Point—a fine example of scmi-n>ilitary design.

FIRMNESS MARKS PRICE MOVEMENT, BUT INQUIRY RATHER THAN BOOKING OF ORDERS, AT PRESENT, IS RESPONSIBLE.

Cement Stocks Pile Up— Hardware Firm—Lumber More Freely Ordered.

5BliaiilllllililllilW»IWIBiB«^^

P R I C E S in most depar tments continue firm, which is perhaps the mos t re­

assur ing factor in tlie const ruct ion out­look, as far as the met ropol i tan district is concerned. I t shows tha t the char­acter of the inquiry for second quar ter and later deliveries is born of available money tha t will be turned into cont rac t s as soon as the building season arr ives. Steel and its allied products , such as reinforcement and nails, are the leaders in this part icular . I t is also significant that sand, crushed s tone and cement , all closely associated in const ruct ion work, are being firmly held. In gravel, prices actually have advanced.

T h e change for the bet ter in steel-making pigiron shows that steel com­panies are prepar ing for be t te r coii-s t ruct ion condit ions later on. L u m b e r is also moving more freely and hardware is in a good position, bo th on inquiry and current demand.

T h e r e is still some tendency to at­t r ibute the hesi tancy in releasing funds for building purposes to the currency legislation recently enacted and now being made operative, but men who keep a close finger on the building money pulse believe tha t the measure will equalize work ing capital t h rough the various regional centers , insur ing a more equitable distr ibution to meet the needs of legit imate manufac tur ing and mercant i le requi rements .

Unde r the new law, also, considerable sums of cash reserves will be released, which, under the old s ta tutes , were ly­ing idle in bank vaul ts . F o r instance, where the Government in the larger re ­serve financial centers required a cash reserve of 25 per cent, by banks, only 18 per cent, is demanded under the fixed law, while in less impor tan t ter r i tor ies , where the cash reserve was fixed at IS per cent., it will now be only 12 per cent. This should result in considerable financial expansion.

Such being the case, it is reasonable to suppose that pa r t of this former re­serve fund will find its way into building and real es ta te inves tment ; and it is be­lieved that the large building mater ia l interests , like the steel, sand, cement and brick in teres ts foresee this and are thus encouraged to hold their prices and stocks in such posi t ions and in such quanti t ies as to encourage new building projects and at the same time insure a profit.

STRUCTUR.VL, STEEL, TONNAGE. A Comparison Bet«-een That Used In

Balldlngs and Railroads. *T' HE inquiry is frequently made by readers of

the Record and Guide as to what propor­tion of the steel tonnage reported may be flg-ured as going into building construction and the following statistics show not only the relation­ship between the volume of steel that goes into building construction and that used in railroad and other lines, but also shows the proportion­ate distribution of steel into other avenues of consumption.

Rails, 3,300,000: structural shapes, 2.S0O.OOO; wire rods, 2,700,000; plates and sheets. 5,900.000; merchant bars, 3,700,000; total of all flnished rolled forms in 1S92, 0,200.000 tons, in 1902, 13,-900,000 tons : in 1912, 24,700,000 tons.

It will thus be seen that the structural shapes, which, with a portion of plates, constitute the material in structures, are a very small portion of the total steel used.

Commenting upon the foregoing flgures Henry V. Hodge, -writing in the Engineering Record makes the following interesting observation re­garding the future of structural steel, particu­larly in its application to building construction :

"It will further be seen, that we.are doubling our total production every ten years. Our engi­neers and manufacturers bave recently awalcaned

to the great foreign market which has hereto­fore been practically monopolized by Europeans, and we are now designing a large portion of tho bridges and structures of other countries, espe­cially ot South America. This is evidenced by our report In 1912 of manufacturers of iron and steel to the valiie ot $289,000,000, as against imports of the same materials of ,$29.000.OU0. Of this total of $289,000,000 of exports $120,003,000 was in various classes of machinery and only $13,01X1,000 structural steel. Our total exports ot manufacturers of iron and steel are being tripled every ten years, as shown by the follow­ing flgures. Value of exports, 1892. $27,000,000 ; 1902, $97,000,000; 1912, $289,100,000. We are now exporting ten times as much as we Import, and this field has only commenced to develop, so tbat we need have no fear for the continued development ot the steel Industry in the future.

THE HARD-WARE OUTLOOK. \VIndow Glass Quiet—Nails Easy—Rope

Firmer. C\ URRENT hardware business In New York

and vicinity for tbe period since January 1 last, according to some. Is a little In advance of the corresponding weeks In 1912.

Trade in window glass is still exceedingly quiet, yet prices are quite well maintained, and there- 1». it Is said, little if any further goine

out of blast by glass factories. People in the business seem to be on the whole optimistic, but there is criticism of the long continued legislative action which keeps manufacturers and others in an uncertain frame of mind. Buyers are specifying generally for current wants only and are not accumulating stocks.

In the metropolitan district wire nails are being taken with moderation, and buyers are not looking ahead to any extent. -The late cold weather has served to check consumption, although there is a fairly good business doing, considering the customary dull season. Wire nails, out of store, are based on $1.90 per keg, with some concessions obtainable. Cut nail prices are well maintained. Stocks are light and deliveries from mills are two weeks be­hind. Cut nails, out of store, are on the basis of $1.85 per keg.

Business in copper perked up around the first ot the year, but consumers have concluded that the actual conditions did not Justify the in­formation given out by large interests at that time, and trade in this material is very dull. Better times are looked for before long, bow-ever. Conper sheets are still on the basis of 20'/; per lb.

In the rope department there is a some­what firmer tone in the market for Manilla hemp, and especially for wire rope. The recent legislation regarding factory and labor laws ap­parently has spurred building managers and in-, surance companies to be more ridged regarding rope inspections, with the result that the buy­ing movement in this department has shown big strides since the flrst ot the year.

CONCRETE INGREDIENTS. Bars Easy—TrianRle Me.sh Prices Steady

—Sand Firmer—Gravel Stronger. ' y H E improved inquiry tor Portland cement for '- early spring deliveries is being reflected in

other departments of concrete construction. Bar reinforcement prices are nominal on tbe basis ot $2.25 delivered from warehouse New York for 3i-inch and larger. The ranee runs trom tbat figure to $2.73 for Vi-inch. Triangle mesh prices are steady and are without change.

Sand is quoted at 30 cents a cubic yard for cargo lots for 500 cubic yards delivered along side dock New York. Gravel prices are stronger and run from 05 cents to one dollar. Gravel sellers bave all the business they can take care of now. For gravel which has passed the subway speciflcatSons as high as $1.10 and $1.15 is asked.

The conditions in tbe crushed stone depart­ment are such as to indicate a very heavy de­mand for the remainder of the winter and early consumption of nuarrying. The subway is tak­ing by far the lar.gest ouantlty at present and this is taxing the available stored supply.

H.\RD-\VOOD MAY GO HIGHER. Lo^v Stocks at Manofactiiring Points—

Pine Roofers Up. •D EPORTS from the wholesale market show ^^ that yellow pine mills have some sawing ahead and that, with the increase in inquiry, improvement is at hand. Locally, there is "a fair amount ot inquiry and some business is being booked, but prices have not changed ex­cept on social orders. Yellow pine flooring in grade of A flat and lower, shows slight In­crease.

In hardwoods there Is a better outlook and indications point to a rise in hardwood prices in the spring on account of shortage of avail­able stocks in shinping conditions. Clear white and red oak floorin<rs bave eased off about one dollar. Manle floorings shows an advance nf about two dollars. Mahoganv stocks are small and some are In deraand. There are medium stocks in foreisrn cedar, but the market is ouiet. There is no change In the base price of hem­lock. Tnouiries and orders are falrlv plentiful and tbe mills bave ample business in hand to keep them going.

In spruce there is little or no business being done in Eastern stock. Tn short spruce some houses have advanced the nrices from fifty cents to a dollar, but in other Instances the prices quoted a month ago still prevail. In West Virginia spruce the market seems to be off about two dollars on the list on all sizes, although some houses are holding out for full list prices.

Tbe North Carolina pine market shows a better tone than It did thirty davs ago. The citv market is quiet, but tho suburban territory and In the Long Island Sound markets both inquiry and demand have substantially strength­ened, especially for future deliveries. Prices are also holding firm as a rule, roofers showing an advance of at least fifty cents over the Decem­ber quotations and the tendency is upward.

STRUCTURAL STEEL M.VRKET. .Vmerionn Bridge Company Reports Fa i r

Tonnacre Since Janua ry Fi rs t . C TEBL building orders are holding their .own, '-' as far as February business Is concerned. Th.-! inquiry continues good, and this has been reflected in freer orders. Prices are now 1.36 and 1.41 tidewater, first half deliveries, whereas a fortnight ago thev were 1311/, and 1.30.

The American Bridge Company began the year with a back log ot about a hundred thousand tons of structural work in the Eastern district and has reported a liberal tonnage since the first ot the year. Including about 60.000 tons of subway work. This tonnage, however, will not be available for the mills for almost a year.

To date more than half the steel required by the Equitable Building has heen delivered, or about 16.000 tons. The remaining 16,000 tons for this structure will run along for the next few months. Quite a fair proportion of the steel for the Hell Gate Bridge has also been delivered, or at least the part that was to he handled by the American Bridge Company. As soon as tbe steel in the Equitable Building begins to be set up the New Jersey Company will begin the delivery of the 105(10.000 common brick re­quired in this operation. .About 7,000.000 hol­low brick will be ussd.
