meeting yesterday afternoon at the headquarters in
the Park Row Building. Several property owners
appeared and asked that the city pay one half of
the entire cost which is about $4,000. of an i'm
provement in East Thirty-ffth-st. During the de-
bate President Coogan interrupted and excitedly
said:
II think II an outrage that you property holders
come here and demand that some one else shall
pay your part of an assessment that is righttully
yours. You should not ask to increase the tax
budget"
Ex-JuGge Hall Immediately replied: ut is an
outrage that you come and conhscate our prop
erty."
President Grout of Brooklyn asked Mr.. Coogan
now the money would increase the tax budget. and
said: 1T will go the Building Fund, and you
referring to Mr.. Coogan) will not be here when
any bonds issued for this amount"

President Holahan vigorously pounded on the
table and the debate continued in more quiet

assumed by the city. President Grout, although he
had no vote said that for fairness the city should
assume more. Commissioner Shea did not agree

Various subjects of interest the music pub

The details of the discussion not given
for publication 1t is understood however. that
the publishers taking the position that the sale
of music arranged for any sort of mechanical IN
strument ought to be subject to copyright law
and 10 royalty. Thus, certain attachments for
organs and pianos played by means of pune
tured rolls of paper, each specially cut
produce a special musical composition. Selling
THESE rolls, the publishers maintain. is tantamount
selling copies of the music. and they should
therefore be subject to royalty. The same argu-
ment is used with reference to records made for
the monograph and other instruments of the
sort.
Some hold also that a royalty should be paid for
every public performance of a copyrighted work.
This is the law in France where every hurdy-
gurdy which plays a copyrighted air has to pay
a royalty for it. No action was taken the
