PAY HEAVY PREMIUMS
Excessive TaIIneSs Greatly In
creaSeS Insurance Cost.
OTHER BUILDING CHARGES
Owners of Fireproof Structures
Eight Stories or Less Not Bur
dened with Extra Rates.

The great fire hazard Of high buildings
annually costs the owners OF these struct-
ures in New York millions of dollars in
the way OF extra insurance premiums for
excessive height alone. The schedule OF
the New York Fire Insurance Exchange.
according to study made by the Heights
OF Buildings Commission. indicates that
these extra premiums amount to many
thousand dollars In the case of certain
buildings.
In the insurance of fireproof mercantile
buildings the height element is ignored
until the ninth story is reached. The
extra charge for height on a nine story
building Is cent per hundred dollars.
The charge increases very rapidly from
that story upward For a ten story
building il IL 2 cents: for a fifteen story
building, % cents. and for a twenty story
building Y cents.
A very heavy surtaX is imposed on the
building, in addition to these charges. IN
the case of those buildings where mer-
chandise is stored on or above the seventh
story. Only sample stocks exempt the
building from this charge. The less
hazardous stocks subject 1t to half rate
surtax. In the case OF lower buildings
this surtax is many times larger than the
height charge proper.
In a nineteen story building the two
charges are about the same. This stock
surtax on the building is 10 cents per
seven story building. 10 cents FOR a ten
story building. H cents for a fifteen story
building. and 50 cents for twenty story
building. The onus of THIS tax no doubt,
operates in "A very large degree to keep
the storing of merchandise below the
seventh story in the case OF high build
ings.
Fireproof Office buildings eight stories
and under are free from any height
charge. Above that height they are sub
feet TO one-fourth the height charges Of
fireproof mercantile buildings.
For a nine story building this charge -
one-fourth of l cent. and for a ten story
building one-half OF cent The charge
leaps very rapidly above this point. For
a fifteen story building 1t is 81 cents, for
a twenty story building. IS cents for a
twenty-five story building. 301z cents, and
for thirty story building, 43 cents. A
forty story building would have a charge
OF IS cents, and fifty story building SO
cents.
No deductions have been allowed In the
above computation for exclusive office oc-
cupancy or for co-insurance. These deduc-
lions are so considerable that the height
charge is reduced considerably from that
indicated in the above schedules. But
even when these factors are taken INTO
consideration the height factor plays the
most important role in determining the
insurance rate for a very high building

HIGHWAY A NECESSITY
Proposed Road Connecting
Brooklyn and Queens Favored.
CONFERENCE ON PROJECT
To Urge Immediate Action on
Pathway at Meeting Called
for Wednesday Next.

Chief Engineer Nelson =. Lewis. OF the
Board OF Estimate, after carefully looking
over the territory. has concluded that a
connecting highway between Brooklyn and
Queens and the automobile highways OF
Long Island is a necessity. The position
taken by the engineer. together with an
opinion recently rendered by the Cor
poration Counsel that the Board Of Es-
innate has powers to create such high
way. the members Of the Long Island Au-
tomobilc club have called "A conference
for next Wednesday when the proposition
Of urging immediate action for such a
highway will be considered. The call for
this meeting has been issued by Charles
Herman. president Of the association. and
his invitations have Deen extended to
residents of Manhattan and Of Brooklyn.
Queens and other parts Of Long Island.
1t is believed that number Of the most
influential men Of the city will cooperate
in the movement.
One reason for the neglect IN the es-
tablishment OF a highway OF this nature
before was because the cemetery corpora
tons made vigorous opposition.
There will be insistent demands until
the connecting highway is completed. on
account Of the great demand for it, de
clared Engineer Lewis. THE need for a
connecting highway between the park
ways and boulevards of Brooklyn, which
haYe been completed at large expense and
for the convenience to the people is APP
parent to all who have occasion TO ride
between the two boroughs.
although Brooklyn and Queens arc
separated by no natural borders except
Newtown Creek. which forms the bound
airy between the two boroughs and which
is adequately bridged still the large
number Of cemeteries along the border OF
Queens and even along Forest Park itself,
with its meaere supply of roads. present
obstacles which render movement between
the two roads quite difficult"
The cemeteries which have been OBJ
stacles I'm the path OF the establishment OF
connecting highway are the Cypress
Hills and Mount Carmel cemeteries. Es-
tablIshed under the rural cemeteries act
which prohibited any municipality from
invading their domain for any purpose
whatever and exempted them from taxa
ton and assessment for public improve
ments. the cemetery corporations OF
Queens would not consider any proposition
for the opening Of the road through their
property until an enabling act was passed
IN the Legislature Of 1908 permitting a
