ter continues:
The question may In part resolve

Of all who have given thought to his
subject. a survey of the methods par

Mr.. ADAM does not mention the

After the Coroner Quits.

Behind the obvious and admitted
violation OF statutes, regulations and
orders TO which the deaths of twelve
women in a Brooklyn factory on Sat.
urday are Immediately ~as~ignable lies
u general that has long been
recognized and TO tho correction Of
which the energies OF the State N d
city should Immediately be devoted.
II Is the multiplicity OF Inspection
agencies. with duplicated and overlap
ping duties. each charged with the
enforcement of certain details of the
regulations adopted to insure safety.
and none exclusively responsible for
the observance of all Of them.
The chaotic condition existing IN
New York with respect Of building
supervision ~ notorious. II imposes a
heavy unnecessary tax on real estate.
1t results in Jealousies and contentious
among officials that react TO the detri-
ment Of contractors and owners IL
leaves the proprictors and occupants
Of structures of all kinds in doubt aS
to their obligations, and naturally
brings the whole code into contempt.
The requirements of III department
cancel the cyactlons Of another. The
victim OF d~isorderly official activities
is encouraged 10 violate all the orders
that are served on him. in the belief
that public muddllng will conceal his
private neglect.
If from this needless tax on prop
scnSclcss multiplication of iobhollers
we obtained an approach to safety In
the buildings that are subject 10 their
visitation. the situation would be more
nearly defenslblc. We do not. On the
contrary, the most elemental safe
guards are lacking. the most easily
accomplished means of protection is
ignored. State and city, despite cnor-
nous drafts on the taxpayers. cannot

laws were not enforced and what was

to measure the possibilities OF
their costly efforts.
The remedy Is not difficult to find.
A consolidation of the inspection ser
vices with centralized authority aud
responsibility would end the lodging
OF blame and compel intelligent exc
cution of the laws. 1t should decrease
expenses for the taxpayers and real
estate holders. 1t would insure i'm.
provement in conditions that now
menace tho lives OF thousands Of
men and women, and reduce to the
possible minimum the risks Of workers
in every kind of employment. When
the community has done with the lat
