Boston is coming around to the idea
that narrow, sunless streets cause pneu-

Walcott of the state board of health wants
the building commission to have some: sort
of law passed in Massachusetts limiting
the height Of buildings in proportion to
the width of the street. If a street is
SO wide that a high building will not cut
off the light and air, there will be no OBJ
lection, provided the height does not go
beyond the states maximum More and
more, as time goes on, it is seen that the
fathers laid out Minneapolis on good,
broad, generous lines. It is pretty diff
cult to get a skyscraper here that will

an increase of ninety-nine permits over

and an increase IN cost Of s17s,715. That
shows a good, healthy growth, but it is
not to be compared with the record Of
Minneapolis for the same period. Last

France Prohibits Tontines.

The Boston Herald reports that under
the new law which has been enacted
IN France for the regulation of life in
surance companies, tontine policies are
prohibited, or practically prohibited, by
compelling the companies to account
for their profits to policyholders an
nually. The tontine policy of some
companies in this country makes an an
nual accounting, but the big, three,
which are under fire at present, and
particularly. the Equitable, make no
such accounting, and this appears to
be the milk in the cocoanut so far as
the specializing managers Of that insti-
tuition are concerned. ~
Tontine insurance is a species Of
gambling in which alluring prospects
Of large gains are held out The per-
sistent policyholder is to make money
at the expense Of the unfortunate one.
Very little sympathy need be used up
over the fact that the expectations of
the successful tontiner are very seldom
realized. His prospective gains are
nearly always severely scaled down in
realization. This is because he puts
himself entirely in the hands of the
managers of the company, and they
have SO free hand in manipulating
expenses that the tontiner comes out
| at the little end Of the horn, with
room to spare. The payment in the
