M4RSH4LL BILL SIGNED
Some Concessions to Tenement
House Builders.

Albany. April 14.-Governor Odell signed to-
day the Marshall Tenement House bill. This
measure was the result Of a compromise be
tween those who sought modif1ca tion Of the
present law and the Tenement House Commits
sioner 1t applies to New-York City and Buff
falo The amendments are designed to apply
chiefly to Brooklyn and he outlying boroughs Of
New York where L found that conditions
would permit some concessions to builders and
landlords without interfering with the efficiency
of the law in protecting tenement house dwellers
from the old evil conditions of unsanitary build
ings fretraps and dark rooms.
The new law will permit a semi -freproof con-
struction in four story tenement houses having
not more than two families to a floor, with
apartments running through from front to rear,
and with courts of such a size that the build
ings may be erected q twenty-five foot lot
This il is believed, Will reduce the cost Of such
a building by about 81 600 thus reducing rents.
In buildings of three stories covering not more
than 65 per cent of the lot area, a slightly
smaller interior court is allowed. Outside the
fire limits the law will permit the building OF
wooden tenement houses Of three stories, TO con-
tain not more than one family to a floor.
Tenement House Commissioner De Forest de-
clares himself satisfied with the law.
