the New York Congestion Committee FOR
discussion OF the Sullivan Brooks bill for
halving the tax rate on buildings by five
enual annual reductions OF 10 per cent was
held last night at the Metropolitan Temple,
Seventh avenue and l4th street.
Henry de Forest Baldwin was the first
sneaker He said he advocated not a re-
duction II one-half, but a total removal OF
assessments upon buildings and the doub-
ling of the tax on the land He said this
would encourage property owners to tear
down unsanitary houses and erect larger
and more modern structures. because they
could do so prohtably. lie also thought the
new plan would benefit the tenant by low
crIng the rent. Mr.. Baldwin added:
buildings are put up TO meet a demand

The fact that the letters SO much
