terests decided to cooperate with the
various civic organizations in the citv
with a'view to obtaining a reasonable
solution Of the three questions now
uron the calendar of the council !.
FIRST the establishment of a new fiscal
policy for the City OF New York: seq
ond, the elimination of unnecessary ev-
pense from the city budget; third. new
sources OF city revenue outside of real
estate. A programme of cooperation
along these lines with the Citv Club
the Citizens Union, the Bureau of Nu5
nicipal Research and the New York
Tax Reform Association has been an
proved by the members of the council
In order 10 relieve the burden unon
the property owner, the subject of ne,,,
sources OF revenue must require a very
thorough consideration. The Wavor's
committee on taxation is now devoting
con'lderable time 10 this subject. and.
with view to cooperating with this
committee, the council has decided IN
do all IN rs power TO make reasopabl,
recommendations along the lines of

WILL CONSIDER
CANAL TERMINALS
Meeting to Discuss Sub
iect of Sites in Queens To
Be Held Tomorrow.

Borough President Connolly has ar
ranged n conference with state Engi-
neer Bcnsel for tomorrow at 1880
"a. m. 70 take up the immediate cou-
sideration OF locating barge canal ter
minals in the Borough OF Queens.
President Connolly has taken much IN
terest in this improvement, and has
been active in working 60 secure an APP
preparation from the State OF New
York for az least two terminals ~
Queens Borougn.
A large delegation representing the
manufacturing and commerce commit
tees of the Chamber of Commerce OF
the Borough Of Queens will accompany
the Borough President TO this hearing.
Manufacturers. business men and rep
resentatives Of the various civic or
CARNATIONS throughout the borough are
also requested 20 have representatives
present.
The Queens Chamber Of Commerce
started a movement last spring for the
location of barge canal terminals IN
Queens in order TO secure additional
shipping facilities for the hundreds OF
manufacturers in the borough. At that
time recommendation were made that
terminals be located on Dutch Kills
Greek. East River, Bowery Bay and
Flushing Bay. An estimate prepared
by the secretary Of the chamber from
replies received from the many manu-
facturers in the borough showed that
approximately 100000 tons of freight
would be received and shipped over the
canal from Queens Borough If ter
minals were made available.

Framing Building Inspection Bill

duties exercised to-day by the board
of examiners i'm the several building
departments. With this end in view, a
committee will be appointed by the
council 20 work for the passage of the
proposed bill.
"The council commends the general
principle to be embodied in the bill.
which will be prepared % be presented
20 the Legislature by the City Club,
whereby condemnation proceedings will
be taken out of the hands Of special
commissioners and referred back 20
the judges Of the Supreme Court, thus
entailing considerable economy in the
expenditure Of public moneys for the
commissioners fees, interest on dila-
tory payment Of awards, and simuta-
neously permitting the judges TO direct
the entire proceedings in far more
effective and expeditions manner than
is apparent to-day. There is no doubt
whatsoever that if the judges OF our
several courts were empowered 10 con-
duct condemnation proceedings, there
would be more CELEBRITY Of action and
prompt payment Of awards. The City
Club has for the last few years en-
deavored 70 have such a bill passed
through the Legislature, and the coun-
Gil believes that it would be advisable
at this time that the real estate inter

Abill is going to be prepared by the ad-
visory council of the Real Estate Inter
ests for introduction in the next Legis-
lature, which, if it becomes a law, will
effect radical changes in building in

central board Of appeals upon which

partments into one central department,
the council believes thai, although
there are many commendabie features

The ordinance makes " unlawful 20

certain time limits within which exist
ing elevators must be also equipped

passenger elevators with a rise Of six
