ple-yourself and the other man.
People are prone 10 think only OF the
personal benefit. But no one can live
a true life without thinking of the
other man. Not long ago I heard of
a man who had so completely lost his
hearing that when i'm church he could
not hear anything that was said. A
great many people would not have
sahe 20 church. Why? Because 7
can hear nothing and Il does me no
good" But this man went to church
regularly. Why? Because I hope Il
will encourage others to see me on my
way to church and to see me in my
accustomed place" Would Il not be
quite creditable for those OF US who
are still In possession OF all OF our
senses 10 be Influenced by this other
mans idea1 The New Year is at hand.

VICTORY FOR THE
NORTH SHORE LEAGUE
Route from Corona to Little
Neck and to Whitestone Would
Be In Dual System.

The fight which has been carried on
by the North Shore Transit Association
in cooperation with the Third Ward
Rapid Transit League for lower rent
al Of the Long Island tracks for the
operation of trains OF the dual subway
system from Corona to Little Neck
and to Whitestone has been successful
in compelling the railroad company to
reduce its original demand of s25O,O00
year to $3.50 a year, with an an
nual increase in the rental Of per
cent per annum for ten years.
The action of the railroad company

making the Real Estate Board has de-
cided TO confne its attention to the de-
partments and bureaus under the juris-
diction Of the Mayor and the Board Of
Estimate.
Following are the recommendations
presented by the Real Estate Board:
The Tenement House Department has
submitted an estimate Of S7O6,iS0.S2 as
the amount required for the depart
ment in 1916. being n decrease Of
S6,3675S from the appropriation Of
$7l2,5iS.40 for 1915.
Certain increases in salary are re-
quested and certain reductions in the
working force. The increases asked do
not seem unreasonable, and the Real
Estate Board assumes that the tax
budget committee, cooperating with
the committee on standardization OF
salaries, Is qualified TO pass on the
merits Of these requests
Tho Real Estate Board, however. re-
itcrltes the recommendation made 20
your committee last year. substantially
as follows:
The yearly cost Of this department in
recent years has averaged about $780,
600. taking 1905 as base. The cost in
1906 was SGlS,4330S; IN 1910 it was
$622, 1O250; in 1914 it was S767.lO9.
This yearly cost continues notwith-
standing the fact that the department
has been in existence for several years

finished its survey Of buildings erected

before 1906 II Is reasonable for the
taxpayers 20 wish to know why the de-
partrIeat should cost approximately
100000 more in 1916 than IL did IN
1905. In the earlier years OF the ex-
isterce of the department there were
many thousands Of old tenements 70 be
i1rnected and brought up 70 the stand
ards required By the law. In 1915 there
must DO comparatively few such build
ings. Your committee is therefore re-
specttully requested 70 direct It's at
tontion 70 the old Building Bureau %
the department and 70 Learn from the
Commissioner If material reductions
cannot be made in the operation Of this
bureau.
The Mayors Bureau Of Weights and
Measures asked S77.2ss 20 for the con-
duct Of this Office in 1916. This Is an
increase Of Sll,02320 above the $685.
275 appropriated in 1918. The sum-
mary presented by your committee in
dicates no attempt az economy o. the
chief OF the Bureau Of Weights and
Measures. A new clerk is requested az
$3.50, and five new inspectors, ~
81 200 each. This Is on the score OF adj
Gi:ional duties imposed by new legis-
lation.
The Real Estate Board thoroughly
appreciates the necessity for the in
spectional functions performed by this
bureau. II believes. however. that these
dutie. could he better performed by the
department Of markets Of the Con-
troller's Office. which is the logical
governmental machinery for doing this

Of only 10 cents a day over the city

transit line would absorb practically
all the railroad passenger traffic be-
tween Baysde and Corona, resulting in
a great loss and the practical coniisca-
tion of the railroads investment in this
territory; whereas, with rapid transit
trains running over the railroad tracks
the railroad company's property would
be preserved and the city would ac-
quire rapid transit facilities at about
one-third the annual cost Of city
