WANT MAYOR TO
VETO ORDINANCE
Amendment Passed by Board of
Aldermen Relates to
Skylights.

The Advisory Council of Real Estate
Interests. through its building code
committee, consisting OF Henry w.
Hodge, Otto N. Eidlitz and Julius
FRANKIE, has requested the Mayor to
veto ordinance No. 22Ss. amending the
building code, which makes q change
In section aga in relation to skylights.
This ordinance was passed hurriedly
recently by the Board of Aldermen
without giving a public hearing upon
II. 1t Will incorporate new require
ment within the code providing that
skylights over shafts and bulkheads
Tor buildings seventy-hve feet " height
be provided with a certain device for
opening the skylight automatically in
case OF fire. II is an ordinance de-
signed merely for this special purpose,
and will only add to the cost of build
ing without adding to either the safety
OF life or property. In fact there has
been no demand made by any Of the
interests that usually ask for such
changes affecting either fire insurance
or conservation Of LIE. Underwriters,
architects, builders, real estate or labor
interests have neither requested its
adoption nor approved it The auto
matte device will prove to be another
expense to property owners. Unless
this ordinance is vetoed by the Mayor
on Tuesday IL becomes a law.

REVIVAL FROM
COAST TO COAST
Expansion of Building
Operations Due to Easier
Money Market.

The building revival. as indicated by
the November reports, extends from
coast TO coast, skipping very few large
places
oflcal reports received By "Ths
American Contractor" New York, from
seventy cities show that the building
permit. issued for the month total
SOC, l2e,S7S, as compared with s34,s42,-
ATS for November last year, an In
crease of rs per cent.
1.-THE improvement, however, while .
reality, is somewhat exaggerated, for
the reason that the business of year
ago was specially depressed as Q war
reaction" says Tho American Con-
tractor"
THE building permits for November,
1918, totalled !l,005,5l4 Comparing
the aggregate last month with that OF
the corresponding month two years
ago, the increase Is less than so per
cent, instead of rs. But the size OF
that gain indicates strongly that the
present business is above the normal
and no doubt includes lot Of deferred
made possible by the ease of the money
market. Only fifteen Of the seventy
cities are not yet experiencing better
building conditions.
Another most gratifying circum-
stance Is that the very large gains
made during November have swung the
comparison for the year TO date over
on the right side. The total for eleven
months this year is s639, 204 ,l44, as
compared with s605,864,l19 for the
corresponding period last year, an In
crease Of per cent"
Last week a comparative table OF
building activity for November, 1914
and 1915, in seventy-nine cities was
printed Here are the figures for
eighteen more cities as compiled by
llTha Arnarican Cont ~.

INCREASE In
BRIDGE TRAFFIC
Figures for Greensboro
Tells of Growth of
the Borough.

Figures received last week by the
Chamber Of Commerce Of the Borough
Of Queens from the Bridge Depart
mont show a remarkable increase In
the traffic across greensboro Bridge.
The figures show that since the first
count was made In 1910 the passenger
traffic has more than doubled In the
last five years, while the vehicular traf-
fc is now FIVE times greater. The count
taken for twenty-four hours on October
2s shows that while the total number
of people crossing the bridge has In
creased per cent in the last year the
total for vehicles has grown 80 per
cent. Over one hundred moro trolley
cars carried passengers across the
bridge on October 28 Of this year than
they did last year. The figures show
that nearly 1000 people cross the
bridge on foot every twenty-four hours.
These figures are significant Of the
rapid growth Of the borough.
The new industries that are estab--
fishing their factories in and around
Long Island City have undoubtedly
helped to increase the number or
trucks and drays passing to and fro
across the bridge distributing con-
siderable proportion Of their manu-
featured products in the wholesale and
retail districts Of Manhattan.
The enormous increase In building
operations throughout the borough not
only for factories but for homes &C
counts for the increased trolley and
passenger traffic, for the latest avail
able building figures show that during
the first nine months of this year in
the borough 4,35l permits for new
buildings were filed, Of which 3,05S
were for dwellings and tenements.
Figures of traffic across the bridge
follow:
