In this immediate nclghborhood the great
ort industrial development IL now going
ON in the city OF New York-if not In the
world.
The Degnon Terminal Company alone
will erect modern factory buildings, esti-
mated to cost over s3o.Woo0O; within the
next few years. Newtown Greek is known
as one OF the busiest waterways OF its
size in the world. and in 1910 the tonnage
of its traffic was said TO be greater than
the combined tonnage OF all the canals
of the state of New York. While ter
mlnal is proposed for the Greenpoint sec
ton of Brooklyn on the south side OF
Newtown Creek, such terminal would be
of no value to the industries OF Long
Island city.
A terminal on the East River. in the
vicinity OF Hallets Cove, near tho foot
of Jamaica avenue. would serve not only
all the factories that now line tho East
River shore for distance OF almost
four miles, but such terminal would be
centrally located. as It would he midway
between the mouth OF Newtown creek
and the beginning OF Long Island Sound
such n terminal would be OF value to
the entire community OF Long Island
CITY. and would not be further away
than ten or fifteen minutes time by au-
tomobile truck to the most distant fac
tory
A terminal on Bowery Bay. just east or
Berrian's Island, would have strategl-
cal location, being less than three miles
from the mouth of the Harlem ship
Canal and barge canslboats coming from
the North River 10 the East River could
unload their cargoes without having to
travel many miles south on the East
River
A terminal on Flushing Creek, between
Jackson avenue and the North Shore
Division of the Long Island -,ailroad.
would be Of value not only to the entire
north qide OF Long Island. but with the
STRENGTHENING and widening Of Flushing
Creek. plans for which are now rapidly
progressing. would enable barge canal
boats TO bring such commodities as coaL
lumber. building supplies, etc, to "a
maica. Richmond Hill. Forest Hilis.
Newtown, and, i'm fact, serve the whole
centre OF Long Island.

SO Say Directors of Bond
and Mortgage Guar
antee Company.
REPORT OF EARNINGS
LARGEST IN HISTORY
Annual Announcement Places
Them $4,000 in Excess of
the Previous Year.

The annual meeting of the board of di-
rec,ors OF tho Bond and Mortgage Guar
an,ee Company was held last week In
the report Of tho directors announcement
was made that the small borrowers are
more prompt i'm their payments than the
owners Of large properties in Manhattan
and The Bronx. The report, In part
reads as follows:
The gross earnings for the fiscal year
ended February 2S. l9iL were the largest
i'm the history OF the company, amounting
To 81. $4,000. or $4,000 in excess Of the pre-
vious wear. The cost Of conducting the
business. including taxes. increased from
sesS.Ooe reported last year 10 $4,000. This
Is about y per cent OF gross earnings and
about % per cent Of the receipts from
premiums This increase results mainly
from a new Arrangement with the Title
Guarantee and Trust Company, daung
back 10 the beginning Of last year. by
which we pay. to that company larger
sum for rent and for the services OF its
various departments. These increased
expenses cause the net earnings TO IAN
about $1,000 below those reported year
ago. They amount to Sl.2S5,0co
Commencing with May Is. 1913, the
quarterly dividend was raised from So to
per cent, which called for dividend
disbursement during the year of $4,000
as compared with $4,000 in, the fiscal
wear preceding. This left SiS5,co to be
added to surplus and undivided prontS'
making this item S.Si7,oOo.
Since the company's organization. IN lS92'
ii has guaranteed mortgages aggregating
s52e So. .OOO OF this vast amount, mortgages
totalling 500 47O.OOO have been repaid TO
the investors. who did not lose dollar
of the principal and who never had
10 wait for their interest. The COMPANY
Of course, has mad some losses, buc the
total is comparatively small and amounts
to S56.655. There are now outstanding
guarantees aggregating S9Ssl2cOo, on
which the premiums amount to more than
$4,000 a year
We believe that the larger the premium
income from properly chosen mortgages
and the larger the proportion Of earnings
saved and added TO surplus the stronger
The company is and the greater the pro-
lection which 1t affords TO mortgage leni-
ers. Since the beginning Of business the
fun amount received from premiums mas
been SlO.2osOo0. The interest earnings
have paid all the company's expenses 4

WANTS -FOUR BARGE
CANAL TERMINALS
Chamber of Commerce
Alert in Guarding In
terestS of Queens.
ONE STATION ON
EACH BIG WATERWAY
The Value of the Terminals TO
the Development of Queens
Industries.

The Chamber OF Commerce Of Queens
is anxious that Queens Borough shall
take part In the benefits Of the iiO1 900 600
state barge canal and the $4,000 600 TO he
spent I'm terminals. At n Joint meeting or
the industrial and commerce committees
OF the chamber held last week resolu-
tion was adopted advocating the location
OF barge canal terminals in Queens Bor-
ough at the following places:
Newtown Creek between Borden ave-
nue. and Hunters FONT avenue, on the
Dutch Kills Canal.
East River. In Hallets Cove near the
foot OF Jamaica avenue.
Bowery Bay. just cast OF Berrian's ISL
and.
Flushing Creek. between Jackson ave-
nue. and the North Shore division OF the
Long Island Railroad.
These recommendations have been sent
to the Barge Canal Terminal Commission
TO state Engineer John A. Bensel. 10 Dock
Commissioner r. A. c. Smith and TO Bor-
ough President Connolly. and committee
representing the chamber will call upon
state Engineer Bensel and place before
him the necessity OF locating terminals IN
Queens Borough at the locations mem
toned and request that plans he prepared
for same as soon as possible
A brief Is now being prepared by Wal
ter l. Willis. secretary of the chamber,
under the direction OF c. G. NJ. Thomas,
chairman OF the manufacturing commit
tee. and Captain Frederick Russell, chair
man of the commerce committee, contain
ing reasons why barge canal terminals
should be located at the places desis-
mated This brief will show both the ne
cessity and the superiority of these ioca-
tions. the excellent railroad facilities af-
forded IN conjunction with the same, the
factories that will he benefited, the Sec
tions Of Queens Borough and Long Island
that will be benefited. and the opportu-
mites for future development that will
result from the location OF such terml-
nails.
A terminal in the Dutch Kills canal, a
tributary to Newtown Greek. would have
direct connection with the Long Island
Railroad. and i'm addition TO giving cheap
or shipping facilities to the hundreds OF
factories i'm this section. would be Of
value not only 10 every section Of Queens
Borough, but all Long Island. Also, by
direct connection with the connecting
railroad. il would be the shortest route
from the West to serve all New England

AMENDMENTS TO
TWO LABOR LAWS
Changes Made Suggested
by Real Estate Board
of Brokers.

Owners Of several thousand buildings
Of five stories or less In height on Man.
haitian Island will be much interested >,
learn that the Legislature on Friday
passed two bills amending the labor laws
with respect to existing buildings used ~
factories Low buildings are relieved of
the most exactIng requirements Of the
laws.
The labor laws which went into effect
last october. because Of the stringent pro-
visions with respect 10 existing struct.
ures, placed heavy burden OF expense
on owners, which in many cases was Tn.
warranted This fact has been quite gen.
orally recognized since the laws went into
effect. But the laws, being on the statute
books. the state Labor Department found
itself obliged to enforce them, and own.
ers we're obliged 10 carry them out unGeF
penalty Of fine and, in case OF any fata..
ity. criminal prosecution
In some particulars these laws conflict
ed with local laws, and the duplication
of expense was having ruinous results
In many cases the requirements were
mandatory but not specific. and confusion
was increasing. Many equities were IN a
fair way Of being wiped out. Buildings
in which only one operative was employed
we're under the same rigid supervision as
factories employing large numbers
These amendments secured through ths
Real Estate Board OF New York, after
conference with the state Factory Inyes
tigating Commission and the Industrial
Board. were designed to relieve this Sit
uation without increasing the hre peril
or endangering occupants Of low build
ings. They affect Sections 70 and HB OF
the 1913 labor laws.
Existing buildings Of five stories or less
are exempted from the provision for IN
closed stalrways az required exits ea-
cept when, in the judgment Of the In
dustrlal Board, such inclosed stairways
are necessary.
Ladders may be used instead OF stair
ways from the top floor balcony 70 the
openings leading to the roof Fire es-
canes may have windows With frames
and sash covered with metal instead Of
metal frames, as now required.
Gate Enclosures of elevators and hoist
WAYS may be Of suitable height instead
OF the present compulsory height OF sr
feet
The rulings Of the Industrial Board VII
now he made TO conform TO these amend
ments.
