WORK ON 23rd STREET FERRY

Commenced and Structural Steel for
New Ferry House Ordered.
The work Of rebuilding the burned
structure at the foot of West 23d
street, New York, has already been
begun. La appearance it will be sub
stantially the same as the former build
ing, the same features being retained
ia the steel work. That portion of the
steel work of the old structure which
has not been seriously damaged will be
utilized, and the company has already
placed orders with the steel firm which
furnished the original structural steel
to at once supply whatever new steel
is necessary to take the place of the
old.
Longitudinal concrete fire walls will
be built from the fire level to below
water line at the north end, separat-
ing the Lackawanna from the Erie,
and also at the south end to separate
the Lackawanna from the New Jersey
Central building. Two similar longi-
tudinal fire walls will be built beneath
the new structure, these four to act as
barriers to a possible spread of fire in
future and to guard against a repeti-
tion Of Wednesdays experience when
the fire spread SO rapidly beneath the
7 flooring and proved difficult to subdue
for that reason. While the new struct-
ure is being erected a temporary wait
ing-room, so by IS feet, will be proyid-
ed, and work on this was started
Thursday.

NEW ARCANUM RATES VOID.
Justice Gaynor Holds That They vio-
late Contract.

Justice Gaynor Holds That They vio-.
late Contract.
Supreme Court Justice Gaynor of
New York handed down decision re-
garding the Royal Arcannm. 1t was
in the case OF James j.. Wock Of Berk-
eley Council. who sued the Supreme
Council in order to test the legality OF
the new schedule Of rates which went
into operation on October ] last.
Brooklyn has seventy-eight councils
with membership Of over 10000
Several indignation meetings we're
held and the officers of the Supreme
Council were denounced for putting
into operation schedule Of rates
which increased the assessments of
the older members while the younger
members were not much affected. Mr..
Wock paid the new rates under pre-
test and brought the action. The E
were several hearings before Justice
Gaynor, the last being on December s.
Justice Gaynor's decision is short.
He says:
The amendments complained of,
which increase the assessments, are
void, for the reason that they change
the contract of the members with the
organization. need add nothing to
what l said in Langan against the
American Legion of Honor on the
same head (34 Misc. 629). Judgment
for plaintiff with COSTS
| In the case of Langan against the
American Legion of Honor Justice
Gaynor decided that a a contract be-
tween benefit order and member
consists Of an act under which the or
der was incorporated, it's constitution
and by laws, the application for mem
bership and the certificate issued there
| on and cannot be altered in substance
where power to do SO has not been
reserved therein, and therefor subse-
Guent bylaw reducing the face Of the
benefit certificate from $4,000 to $1,000
| is void and constitutes breach of
contract upon which the member may
bring an action for damages" "
He also said that a members
agreement to comply with all laws.
that might hereafter be adopted by
the order, as we'll as power reserved
to it in the bylaws to change them,
must be deemed to refer only to
changes which win not impair the
substance of the contract"
Grand Vice Regent Thornet said he
didn't like the decision because it
would create confusion. He said this
decision would be appealed from.
Members of the Royal Arcanum are
interested in the statement sent out
! from Boston by W. S. Robson, SUI
preme secretary Of the organization,
that Justice Gaynor's decision, nulli-
flying the new assessment rate Of the
order and restoring the old rates will
be appealed to the Supreme Court.
If Justice Gaynor's decision is sus-
tanned the members are wondering
what effect it will have on the future
Of the order. Pleading that the death
rate was dangerously larger than the
assessments, the Supreme Council. or
dered chat hereafter each member be
assessed at his attained age instead of
the age at which he entered the or
ganization the claim was made that
the new rate was designed to favor in
itiates, and to discriminate against
veteran members.
f. II. Weeks, of the New York
Council says that one extra assessment
all around according to the old rates,
would place the Arcanum on solid
| financial ground.
