C|TYPLAN HEADS
SAY SKYSCRAPERS
ENDANCER HEALTH
Commission Criticises Present
Tendency to Tall Buildings
Suggests Remedy.

The present tendency TO build sky
scrapers to unrestricted heights Is
characterized as Injurious to real es-
tate, business and health in the city
plan report concerning the creation
Of Commission on Building Dis
tricts and Restrictions read to-day
to the Board OF Estimate. The re-
port says the City Plan Commission
found conclusive evidence Of the need
for greater control over building de-
velopment and recommends various
regulations for various sections of
the city.
There will be a public hearing May
10. when objections to the creation
OF the heights OF buildings commits
sion will be heard. Questions Of econ
omy and the constitutionality of the
Board OF Estimates power to appoint
such commission will thon he dis
cussed.
The report of the City Plan Com
mission in part Is as follows:
Tho Commission employed experts
| and made thorough study of the
| problems submitted to 1t. both by
| studying actual conditions In New
York City and by securing all avail
able data from the experience Of
other cities. both In this country and
| abroad. The commission held nuner-
Gus public hearings and had the bene-
| fit OF many carefully prepared state
ments submitted by persons specially
qualified TO advise in regard to the
various problems before II.
"The Commission found conclusive
evidence OF the need for greater con-
troll over building development. The
present almost unrestricted power tc
build TO any height over any portion
of the lot for any desired use and IL
any part OF the city has resulted In
injury to real estate and business in
tercsts and to the health, safety and
general welfare Of the city.
The commission found that any
complete system of building control
necessitates the application of dfrcren,
regulations to different parts of the
city, and accordingly recommended
that the city he divided into districts
I and the restrictions for each distric,
worked out with reference to the pecu.
liar needs and requirements Of tina,
particular district.
