URGES SUPPORT
OF CONFERENCE
Advisory Council Thinks
Success May Be Thus
Obtained.

The Committee on Consolidation of
Building Inspection Departments of
the Advisory Council Of Real Estate
Interests, consisting of Cyrus c. Mil
Ter, chairman, and Messrs. Albert G..
Milbank, Walter Lindner and Henry
W. Hodge, believes it advisable for all
taxpayers organizations and real es-
tate associations 10 unite for the con-
summation Of a plan TO consolidate all
building inspection departments into
unified building departments in each
borough by affiliating themselves i'm
mediately with the concerted movement
for this purpose directed by Messrs.
Robert E. Simon, George T. Mortimer,
and Warren Cruikshank, OF the heal
Estate Board.
The Committee on Consolidation Of
Building Inspection Departments OF the
Advisory Council has been for some
time engaged in the difficult task OF
formulating a plan whereby IL would
be possible 10 unity the various build
ing inspection departments under the
separate borough heads without stimuli
taneously solidifying the opposition 20
the general principle OF consolidation.
"Such a task Is one Of extreme delicacy
and progress can be made but slowly"
says a member of the Advisory Council.
although there were many commend
able features TO the tentative bill re-
Gently drafted for public discussion,
nevertheless the testimony al the pub
Tic hearings devoted 20 the considera-
tion Of the merits Of this particular
tentative draft c0nclusiyely demon
strated that the principle Of cousoiida-
ton can best be accomplished az the
present time by reserying TO the sopn-
rate borough presidents the super
vision and contrel over the building
departmeuts which they possess to-
day. As President McAneny observed
when testIfying at this hearing: The
principle Of consolidation would be
more feasible through borough depart
meats thar one central department

that if Sea Gate, Brighton Beach, the
Rockaways, Seabright and other places
along the Jersey coast are to be saved
from further damage by storms, they
win have to be protected by walls
similar to the one at Manhattan Beach.
The Manhattan Beach wall is con,
structed of enormous rocks-some OF
them weighing as much as ten tons.
lis maximum width at the bottom is
about so feet and about II .eet at the
tor. The wall has now been completed
from the westerly line of Manhattan
Reach. which adjoins Brighton Beach,
easterly beyond the Oriental Hotel
and il is estimated that over half a
million tons of rock have so far been
used in its construction.
On top of the wall new esplanade
is being laid. This esDlanade has been
completed from Brighton Beach to
Ocean av..and is a wonderful improve
met over the old boardwalk, with
which visitors to Manhattan Beach in
the past we're so familiar. Not even
crack was found in this concrete es-
planade after the storm, which prob

SEA WALL STANDS
GREATEST TEST
Shows No Effect of Storm
That Ragged Along the
Atlantic Coast.

The new sea wall at Manhattan
Beach has again demonstrated the fact
that, as residents there say, "it's there
TO stay" Once more this wall has
successfully withstood the greatest test
TO which it could possibly be put. ac-
cording to engineering experts.
The storm that ragged along the At
lantic coast, from Saturday to Wednes-
day, brought with II the highest tides.
with one exception, ever recorded, and
the seas were the toughest that have
been experienced in many years. Not q
rock in the Manhattan Beach wall was
disturbed, and, as in the storms of last
winter, the property suffered no dam
age whatever The residents are loud
in their praise of the foresight on the
part of the officers of the Manhattan
Beach Estates in constructing this

opinion of the members of the Commit
tee on Consolidation Of the Advisory
Council that the principle Of coAsOlda-
ton through borough departments
should be supported by real estate
bodies not merely because q fortuitous
chain of circumstances assures the CO.
operation Of the borough presidents
themselves in the accomplishment Of
such q programme, nor simply because
by a process Of elimination il is evil
dent that a consolidation through bor-
ouch departments is alone certain of a
chance of success in the coming Legis-
lature.
"Such basis upon which to en-
deavor to construct the framework of
unified building inspection depart
ment in each borough would not be Of
lasting duration and be exceedingly
vulnerable to the sharp attack which
must be looked for from a most for
midable and resourceful opposition.
The logic of such a position far from
strategic might be annihilated BY
clever maneuvring and arguments at
hearings before legislative committees
There are many forceful and practi-
cal arguments in behalf OF unified

An organization which is becoming
more potent in the great real es ate
field Of this city is the New York Build
ing Managers Association, Of VIII Oh 3.
z. Martin is the president. THIS et-
fcient body, composed of men who have
materially helped in many ways 70
tighten the burdens of thousands Of
workers in the commercial centres OF
New York, was formed little more
than a year ago. In that short pace
of time il has done so much IN fur-
nishing its members with invaluable
aids in their efforts TO improve their
work that many persons are wonder
ing how the vast fraternity OF build
ing managers Of this city were pre-
viously content TO DO their daily tasks
without having an association in which
their interests were especially safe
guarded
The bylaws of the association set
forth the principal objects to be the
promotion of spirit of cooperation
on the part of its members and the at
tainment of a greater efficiency and
economy in the planning. renting and
operating of buildings. One might IN
fer from the name of the organization
that owners Of buildings are not eligi-
bic to membership, but such is not the
case. Consequently the landlords and
the managing directors of their hold
ings are brought together in circle
of concord, and from such harmoni-
Gus situation an interchange Of valu-
able ideas naturally follows. The city
tax books for 1914 showed that the
tentative assessments for all the bor--
ouchs amounted to S7,735,9l2,7l5, and
Of that stupendous sum, representing
the worth of real property In New
York, it is no idle statement 10 say
that the members OF the managers
association are intrusted with the
proper care of what many experts
would quickly describe as the most sub
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1914-12-13

stantial, the best located and the most
efficiently managed properties IN the
whole city. Briefly, they have under
their control for various owners the
maintenance of structures and SITES
valued at many hundred millions, and
no one can truthfully say that they
have been found wanting whenever
they are not merely the silent repre-
sentatives of inexperienced owners.
MANY a tenant frequently utters bitter
words against what he calls the abom-
Unable and futile efforts of the building
manager Of the property when the man
ager is not to blame, but the near
sighted owner of the property-ne
SIGHTED because he will not permit HIM
self TO be led by a man who knows ms
business and who was hired to do such
work. The number of such near-sit ht-
ed persons, however. is constantly
shriyelling, as this is the day when
efficiency not only commands attention,
hut usually the higher wage In the
markets of service. By sheer force OF
character the capable buildings man
ayers of this town made many building
owners years ago acknowledge that ex-
merit service and profitable management
are seldom alone, and to-day in all
spheres of the market the science OF
building management enlists the ser
vices of many men, who, if engaged in
other useful occupations, would be
numbered among the best workers IN
those places.
If any one has doubts about the re-
sponsibilities of building managers he
can quickly get correct idea OF the
daily life of a manager if he will spend
some hours in the Office Of one OF them.
for the duties Of building manager
are. indeed, multifarious. The COM
rnittees and the character of their work
of this building managers organization
ought to be sufficient proof Of the I'M
portance and the diversity Of the tasks

they do. One committee studies the
lighting problem, and there are almost
"a many such problems IN the average
Office or mercantile structure as there
IRE windows in a big building. Harry
Hall. of William A. White & Sons, IS
chairman of that committee. K. I.
Roberts, of the American Real Estate
Company, is chairman OF the commit
tee on the consolidation OF building de-
partments; A. c. Bang, OF l.. >. Willard
& Co, on department orders; W. /.
Ropes, of Horace S. Ely & Co, on pro-
posed new building code, and W. ).
Dennison, of the American Tract 80
ciety Building, on general plan. A. j.
Blocker, Of the Singer Building, Is
chairman of the dinner committee.
These chairmanships show how care
fully the organization strives to place
at the heads of various conferences the
hest men that can be found to do the
work.
There are also committees on EN-
cheney, membership, employees, equip
ment and supply, legislation, press and
insurance. II is the duty of the eiii-
cheney committee TO report on new and
improved methods which may result IN
more efficient planning and manage
ment of buildings. The employees COM
mittee investigates and records all APP
plications for employment, and keeps
for the benefit Of the members Of the
association a record Of both qualified
and undesirable applicants. On re-
quest this committee may investigate
and recommend a more uniform scale
Of wages for the various grades of the
service and offer suggestions which will
tend to better the condition of en-
ployes and employer.
The committee on equipment and
supply will also on request supervise
tests of new and untried equipments
and material, and report the results OF
those tests to the organization. The
legislative committee watches closely
