DOES NOT FAVOR
REDUCING WAGES

The Society TO Lower Rents and Re
duce Taxes on Homes has sent let
ter 70 the members of the Board Of
Aldermen. Il refers 10 a request OF
the Real Estate Board for the cutting
down Of the 1915 budget. The society
declares in its letter that It does not
object TO any reductions Of large sala-
ries OF city employees, but believes It
unfair TO lower the wages OF unskllled
workers. The letter. which is signed
by Frederic c. Leubu cher, president
Of the society. reads as follows:
The Real Estate Board has asked
you to cut down the 1915 budget 70
this years budget-about $l93,oOOOOO.
II points out that the proposed
budget for 1915 (Sl99, ,23S0 Is about
$50 1000 more than the budget for
1906. In 1915. however, there will be
nearly 1,750000 more people here than
there we're in 1905. an increase OF
nearly so per cent, while the budget or
S199 23S, 900 is only a proportional in
crease.
The Real Estate Board neglected 70
inform you that since 1906 the land
owners Of the city have made proht
of about S2,500,000,000 in increased
land values and ground rent, and thai
these same owners of land now be-
grudge paying back little of their
unearned profits and ground rents for
the public needs Naturally, we do not
object to any reductions Of large sala-
ries, but it seems manifestly unfair
that appropriations for wages Of the
city's unskilled workers for the
Health. Charities and Park depart
ments and the Board of Education
should be reduced below amounts al
lowed by the Board Of Estimate and
Apportionment.
The aldermen are, and have been,
nearer the people than officials elected
at large. and much nearer the people
than experts" employed to keep down
the tax rate.

A CONCRETE SKYSCRAPER
Tallest Building of It's Kind
Erected in Brooklyn.

The completion Of Building 7 of the
Gair group, located between the ter
mini of the Brooklyn and the Manhat-
tan bridges, on the Brooklyn water
front, is, in a sense, epochal in the
history of factory construction in
greater New York. Built Of steel rein
forced concrete, twelve stories high,
with clock tower of four additional
stories, surmounted by lofty flagstaff,
this structure is the highest steel rein
forced concrete building in the world.
Its dimensions are 200 by 1875 feet, and
It's height measures 275 feet from curb
TO roof.
In many respects, the Gair company's
property is the most impressive assem-
blagc Of concrete buildings in this city
and the first of their kind in the East
Mr.. Gair being the pioneer to use steel
reinforced concrete in factory con-
struction and archtecturally impos-
ing, covering seven city blocks and
comprising thirty-seven acres Of floor
space. The new building is visible
from Manhattan.
This new building will be leased
largely 90 manufacturers, although the
Cair company will use part Of il for
its own purposes. IL has numerous
windows on all four sides, and it's
floor spaces are free. clear and unob-
structed. being perfectly rectangular.
Three huge freight elevators and two
passenger elevators are installed. The
floors in the tower. Of which there are
four, each measuring 90 by 80 feet,
are adapted to studio work of any
kind, owing to their superabundant
light The building is freproof. and,
in addition, is equipped with automatic
sprinkler protection. Every require
ment Of the states new building, labor
and fire protection codes has been OBJ
served ia It's construction.

purposes to follow vigorously, is as fol
The Constitutional Convention may
provide certain remedies. Relief
should also be looked for in the pro-
posed new charter. But both of these
processes will be slow, while the need
is for remedy at the earliest possible
moment. The Legislature must there
fore be asked to aid, and among the
more important legislative efforts will
be the following: Secure legislation
requiring that all salaries which must
be provided for in the city budget be
fixed by the BOARD Of Aldermen and
the Board of Estimate and Apportion-
ment, and that all laws conflicting with
such provision or fixing other than
eight hours as legal days work be re-
pealed.
Amend the state labor law so that
the State Labor Department shall have
jurisdiction only over the employees
themselves and the housekeeping of the
building in which they work.
Amend the tax lien so that the in
terest due on tax lien must be de-
manded in writing or by proper publi-
cation before the lien can be fore
closed, and limiting the cost Of this
notice TO fixed sum in foreclosure.
Charter amendments will be sought
TO provide for a central purchasing bu-
reau by enlarging the powers of the
Board Of City Record.

inCs and to take over the inspection
functions now exercised by other de-
partments, including the State Depart
ment of Labor, its inspectors TO be the
only ones charged with the enforce
ment Of the necessary regulations. In
this work the board is cooperating
with the state factory investigating
commission.
That all claims against the city be
audited only by the Controllers office,
Of. if in the form of contract, by
the Bureau Of Contract Supervision as
well as the Controllers Office.
That water taxes be collected by the
Controller at periods during the year
when such collection will not interfere
with the work of collecting other taxes.
For a Board OF Education small in
number, with paid members, TO have
absolute control over all educational
matters, subject only to the State
Bard Of Education, the Board of Es
innate and the Board of Aldermen.
For the consolidation of the Depart
ment of Bridges and the Department
Of Docks and Ferries. The great con-
struction work that made these two
departments necessary as separate
bureaus has been completed.
For the consolidation Of the Depart
meut ot Charities sud the Department
Of Core tions.
That all hospitals b. put under one
administrative head.
That there be one administrative
head for parks.
That there be one administrative
head for public Libraries.
That all city employees, except ad-
ministrative heads, work he legal
eight-hour lay and be paid only the
prevailing rate OF wages.
The Real Estate Boards programme
for proposals 20 the Constitutional
Convention is less ambitious than some
that have been suggested. It's work
in this particular will necessarily be
limited to such constitutional changes
as intimately affect real estate. leaving
