PROSPERITY AT THE DOOR.

Prosperity. somewhat held under 10y
apprehensions of general war In
Europe and by political uncertainties
here, is to be read between the lines
Of the Treasury's statement Of opera
tions for the first half of the fiscal
year 1928. Secretary MacVeagh
has estimated surplus Of S4OOOo,OOO
for the year. but the figures for the
first six months indicate a still larger
balance. On December 81, 1911, the
excess of ordinary expenditures over
ordinary receipts was 81 ,T9I,po;
whereas the surplus on June 80 1872,
was So. 224.OOO. Last Tuesday the
excess Of ordinary expenditures over
ordinary receipts was only Sl,52l 900,
showing a gain Of nearly S2O,OOO,OOO.
Unless the revenues are decreased by
radical tariff legislation before June 80
next the surplus for the year ought 10
be nearer SGG.O0OOOO than $4,000, 600.
Increases Of S1j,O0O,OO0 in customs
and of 100000 in internal revenue
collections reflect the enlargement Of
business activities which has occurred
since the middle Of 1912. \ period of
great activity Is in sight. and only I'M
wise legislative interference with in
dustry can scare it off. 1t will be
somewhat difficult for the Democratic
party TO keep its platform promiaes
and yet not iniure business. But the
platform promises may be sacrificed.

BASED ON SYSTEMS DEFECTS
Mrs. Price Explains Her Views on
Board of Education Independence.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: May ] ask the privilege OF a little
space in your columns In order to correct
what / fear may be a misunderstanding
OF my opinion with regard TO the financial
dependence OF the Board OF Education?
In your issue OF to-day l was reported
as having said that my reason for desir-
ing the financial independence Of tho
Board Of Education was based mot so
much on the defects Of the present sys-
tenn as on the success with which finan-
cial independence had been accompanied
In other cities" This is inexact. as my
objection to conditions in New York City
is actually based upon the defects Of the
system hero as they have been revealed
within the last years.

WOULD LIMIT TENEMENTS
R. v. Ingersoll Urges New
Building Restrictions.

Raymond v Ingersoll, chairman OF the
New York Congestion Committee, has
submitted a statement 10 the Height
of Buildings Committee urging the lin
itation of tenement houses and other
dwellings to certain number of stories
not exceeding designated number Of
feet, and the Limitation OF other build
ings according TO the ratio OF volume to
lot area.
Tenement houses in outlying sections
of the city should be limited TO three
stories, says the report, but the proper
ton of the lot area which they may oc-
cupy should be reduced below that per
mitted in sections of the city where
present land values Of capitalized con-
gestion may prevent the enforcement OF
even a healthy standard Of housing.
The report suggests that variety in the
arrangement OF tenement houses could be
obtained by permitting one additional
story above the number permitted I'm any
zone or district. for every 10 or 10 per
cent of the lot left unoccupied above the
minimum required In that district. IT
recommends. too. that limit OF ia times
the area Of the lot be placed upon the
volume OF all skyscrapers in lower Man
haitian. and lower limit I'm other and
new sections OF the city
The report goes on 10 suggest that fac
tories be set back from party lines TO
provide for better ventilation. II also
urges the use of narrow streets In the
suburbs. as wide streets, by their cost Of
upkeep. raise the taxes on adjoining prop
ertv IN a nolnt where IL is no longer
available for people Of small means.

LINER SAVED FROM FIRE
Electric Short Circuit Delays
Docking of German Craft.

When the North German Lloyd liner
Breslau was about TO warp into her dock
at Hoboken yesterday a fire was discov-
cred on the lower floor OF Pier No. 2,
and the vessel was ordered to back out
10 midstream.
II was found that short circuit OF
wires which feed the electric winches had
started a fire i'm the insulation. There
was more smoke than fire Of its nature
would warrant, and within twenty min
utes 1t was extinguished The current
was shut off instantly.
Flames from the wire coverings spread
10 adjacent timbers, but the timely
streams from the ccmpapys tugs Castor
and Polux and from the hose lines on
the pier soon smothered the flames.
Captain Moeller said he could have let
the Breslau come in. but decided TO hold
her out TO avoid unnecessary alarm on
board She was never in any danger Of
catching fire, he said Seeing the prompt
ness with which Captain Moellef and his
men were handling the situation. the few
visitors on the pier were not disturbed
and made no effort to leave the structure.
