HEARING ON FOLKS BILL
Law for Wider Scope of Tene-
ment Department Is Discussed.

The Committee on Buildings Of the Board
of Aldermen held a public hearing In the
AIdermanlc Chambers yesterday afternoon
OH the proposed ordinance OF Alderman
Folks. providing for the placing or apart
roent houses. az defined by recent decision
NJ the Court OF Appeals under the JurisdIc-
,iop of the Tenement House Department.
John p. OBrien. Assistant Corporation
Counsel was one OF those appearing In
favor OF the measure. lie stated that
while the Court Of Appeals had held that
Section q OF the Building Code had rot
been repealed by the passage OF the tene-
mont house law, that court had failed 10
nsss upon the second part Of that section'
which says that with regard to ventilati"n'
light and land to be occupied by Duildlnss'
APARTMENT houses shall be subject TO the
same rules and requirements as tenement
houses. He said that such resolution as
Alderman Folks's was called for by the
court I'm making its decision. He urged
that some action be taken to put the law
on a definite basis.
Allan Robinson. acting for the Allied
Real Estate Interests. said that that or
eanization favored the proposed amend
ment. He said he had called meeting OF
the hoard Of directors OF the Allied Inter
es,s last week, and that eighteen out OF
thirty attended. Mr.. Robinson said mat
his attitude In the matter was approved oy
all hut Two Of those present, and that one
NJ those two had since changed his mind.
According to Mr. Robinson. few snort
sighted property owners have opposed the
Wagner bill, and In so doing have given
false impression of the attitude OF real
state interests generally toward such an
jmportan, public measure.
