things that the insurgent leaders
had done was to organize in the

companies of Igorrote spearmen.
These poor naked savages had been
drilled in some sort Of fashion, but
were provided only with their spears
and shields, and then, apparently un-

appearance would brighten the
the Americans into retreat, had
been distributed here and there

place where one or more persons are en-
ployed at labor" etc.
In other words, the absolutely safe six
story loft building, with but five 10
twenty persons on a foor-where abso-

the factory is one making celluloid or in

The depressed condition of the real es
tate market has been caused very largely
by this foolish legislation. New York City
real estate pays largely for the running
of the government, and property owners
are getting tired of having the state come
in TO usurp the duties OF the city. Many
owners feel that the City of New York
should have home rule in this matter, and
that our Buildings Department, Fire De-
partment. Tenement House Department,
Health Department. etc, should have the
proper authority TO look out for the
buildings. without having the state butt
in with these new regulations.

Much interest has been shown con-
corning the Colonial type OF houses
which have been erected by the Everett
Realty G. Construction Co.. at Jamaica,
Long Island. These houses have been
erected from plans by Electus ID. Itch
field, and at recent exhibitions OF the
Architectural League, both in this city
and Brooklyn, the designs have aroused
favorable comment.
The houses have been built in choice
location, within two blocks Of the main
station OF the Long Island Railroad at
Jamaica and within a few minutes
walk They are on high ground and
can easily be seen from the station. In
all, thlrty-one OF these houses have been
erected on Mddletown st. by the conf
pany. They are in two long rows on
both sides OF the street. Those on one
side OF the street are all attached, while
those on the other are In three groups.
A first view gives one the impression
that each group is but a single building.

MACHINE FOR SAVING WALLS


The modern builder thoroughly appre-
ciates the importance OF waterproohng
foundation walls to prevent dampness
from creeping into them and injuring
them. Accordingly II is the custom to
protect the foundation walls with a good
coating OF asphalt or the like. However,
there are many buildings. particularly IN
the older countries, in which no such pro-
vision against the entrance OF dampness
and frost was made. In order to pre-
serve these buildings, a method OF IN
sulating them against dampness has been
devised by a German engineer. II con-
sists in saving a slot in the foundation
wall just above the ground line and in
PRODUCING In the slot asphalt-coated lead
plates. special machine has been de-
signed to saw the masonry, producing a
kerr about one inch wide. AS the work
Is done progressively, the plates being in
troduced as the saving proceeds, the
stability of the building is not endangered.
However. TO prevent any possible acct
dent, conical iron cramps are introduced
in the saw kerr. After the introduction
OF the insulating plates the slots are
closed with temporary wooden forms and
then they are grouted with liquid cement.
which completely fills them and any gaps
still left open. The cement adds TO the
insulation. and the wall is thus thorough
~ protected against creeping of moisture
from the ground upward. To dry out the
walls over tho insulating plates, a spe-
cial stove is provided.

such sites lie fallow or are used as truck
and farm land.
We have seen the wonderful growth OF
other sections of the greater city, stimu-
lated by comprehensive and efficient
rapid transit system, serving all boroushs
except Richmond
Does this mean that development must
wait upon our being included in this sys-
TEN? I think not. While a tremendous
upbuilding will follow the extension OF the
subway system TO Staten Island. its
growth Will be founded on its becoming
self-contained. In my minds eye | do
not look to an ideal future OF this great
island as being simply sleeping place
for a great mass of people carrying on
their business or working in Manhattan.
Land Is so held I'm the more densely pop
ulated sections of New York City that
new factories mean such expense that
there will be a 'essened growth OF such
plants and a greater demand for good
factory sites elsewhere.
The city as a whole does not want
manufacturing establishments TO leave
the city and so to distant places. Staten
Island has not only ideal locations for
factory wharves and warehouses, but Il
has ample land at low prices for cneap
homes for operatives. We cannot get
operatives working in manufacturing es-
adjustments In other boroughs 70 live on
Staten Island, as II costs too much IN
tline and money for them to get TO work
Hence We must bring the work here.

development that we must look for In
