~Life-saying Record.
Continuing, the report cites many
instances in which fire-escapes have
been instrumental in saving lives, but
that Notwithstanding this fact the
owners of tenements in some sections
resist to the last point the orders of
the department for placing fre-escapes
on their buildings. Not infrequently
they bring pressure Upon the board to
be permitted to ignore the law, but
are told that nc n in the department
has authority to deviate from the
statute in any particular. and that the
orders of the board must be followed
out.
The report shows that during the
year the department has supervised
the erection of almost s12, 100000 worth
of tenement houses. providing accom-
mediation for approximately AL 45 per-
sons.
The three-story frame building con-
tinues to be the most popular class of
tenement, the board during the year
having approved plans for no struc-
lures of this class. erected at a cost of
81, 016, 1000. OF these 405 were located in
Essex county, 1873 in Hudson county
and 139 in Passaic county.
1.-THE bulk of the tenement house con-
struction during the past year has
been in the upper part Of the State,
with Essex, Hudson and Passaic coun-
ties in the Lead says the report. 1.-THE
records show that 1898 per cent. of the
entire new law tenement house work
of the year was in Essex county. Hud-
son county is next in line with 1913
per cent, and Passaic county third
with 1913 per cent.
Essex County Expenditures.
"The total expenditure in Essex coun-
ty during the year for new law tene-
ment house construction was $4,116,O0o,
this amount being spent for h erec-
ton of 800 tenement houses of all
classes.
Although Hudson county's record
for the number of houses erected was
forty-two less than that of Essex, the
total expenditure for the year was $751;
900 in excess of the amount invested in
Essex. This is accounted for by the
fact hat the cheaper form of tenement
construction, the three-story frame
building, leads in Essex, where the out
lying sections are being built up in
that way. The larger expenditure in
Hudson, for a lesser number of houses.
is due to the more costly buildings, the
three-story brick house, of which Hud-
son elected 124. costing $1,1S4, 900, as
against SIS in Essex, at a cost of $685.
000."
The board asks for the amendment of
the law under which it operates so as
to give it power to stop work upon
buildings while they are in course of
erection.
In conclusion the board renews its
request that the number of inspectors
and the office force should be increased
If the work OF the department is to be
carried on as it should be.

At social affairs-picnics, bazars or
gatherings Of like nature-did you ever
notice that few women or men sit
calmly IN the background and let others
do the work?
They offer no helping hand, but in
crease the labor of willing workers by
imposing on good nature. l do not
know whether these people feel any
discontinue far down below the surface;
l fear not The habit has become sec

iuoe others into doing more than their
share of work.
Guests are sometimes guilty of i'm
positions. Staying too long. expecting

plans or household or showing an utter
disregard for the feelings of the kind
annoying actions that come under our
notice.
Now. my friends. what Is the proper
thing to do when you awaken to the
fact that others are so far lacking in
well-bred consideration that simpositions
amount TO absolute injustice? I advise
that you. first of all. make yourself cer-
tain of the truth that the imposing habit
IS there. The short, decisive dictum OF
Captain Smith, years ago, that those
who will not work cannot eat" settled
the impostors in the southern colony.
