Fred Toney, perhaps one OF the best
pitchers in that league. finished second
to Alexander, but it was his misfortune
to be with weak team, though his in
dividual performance was most re-
markable, and with team which had
more strength he might have accom-
plished what Alexander did for the
Phillies. Toney is likely to have an
even better season in 1916, for the very
good reason that last season was the
first in his career that he displayed per-
feet control, and he undoubtedly will
start with this essential requisite In the
next campaign.

Mcclure Presents Minority Report

the commission cannot concur in all
the conclusions, and l more particu-
larry dissent to the recommendations
as to recodifying the labor law ard as
n the consolidation Of various inspec-
ton departments in the City Of New
York.
GAS an instance, the enactment Of
rigid and drastic regulation as the re-
suit Of what Is known as the Asch fire
in New York CITY had the effect OF
seriously impeding building operations
In that community. While it cannot be
positively shown that the measures
enacted as a result of the agitation
which followed this fire. excellent
though these measures may he, have
resulted in saving a single lie, their
rigid enforcement has seriously dis
couraged building operations III the
city.
Last years record and that of the
wear previous were lower than the rec
ord Of the wear Of the Asch fire. 1t is
true that part OF this loss can be
ascribed to the general business de
pression. vet the percentage Of loss IN
greater New York was, believe, larger
than i'm other cities throughout the
country where the same business de-
preston existed, but where the M
weston and builder were not harassed
and interfered with by Unnecessary reg
ulations. In consequence or tins slack
in building operations thousands OF
workmen are without employment, and
il would be difficult to accurately eStl-
mate the priyation and hardship which
had resulted therefrOm."

suburban land developers who sell not
only lots but improved property on
easy terms. IL IL pointed out that the
vast majority Of home buyers in the
suburbs buy their properties on con-
venient terms. ,.u
II is asserted that under this bill
real estate men have no rights what
ever. Suburban builders could not
utilize any sum paid down on a prop
crty. but buyers would have the con
slant use Of builders capital until they
had made final payment. II the OIL
becomes law, suburban real estate men
assert. IL would be possible for buyers
who become delinquent IN their pay
ments 20 demand the return Of pay
ments that have been made, and
developers and builders would be IN
constant turmoil and misundCrstaud-
ing. Under the proposed law suburban
house builders could eNpcnd money en-
tensively on building streets, curbing,
cutters and laying sidewalks, install
ING water and gas mains and electric
lights, and be absolutely compelled TO
carry buyers of lots and houses until
they made their final payments.
Another objection 10 the bill Is that
Il ia unconstitutional. on the ground
that il would restrict the power of CON
tract. II Is argued that If the state
can decide on what terms an individual
can buy real estate it can also deter
mine on what terms he can buy an
automobile. furniture or horse and
wagon. The same legal principle could
be invoked against sellers of these
commodities.
Strongest Of all the objections TO
the measure is that il would haraes
morteagors. Where suburban property
Is bought on time. mortgages remain
until the purchaser pays the total OF
the purchase price, whereupon the
seller obtains a release of the mort
gage. The strongest Of the suburban
developers and builders. it is urged,
could not afford TO pay for releases un-
I'll final payments are made. and they
would be exposing themselves TO the
viles Of tricky buyers If they did, and
if the buyer did not complete his pur-
chase the expense Of obtaining mort
gage release would be for naught.
II is asserted that. as the bill Is
worded, an INSCRIPTIONS buyer might
Immediately upon making his last pay
ment demand q deed free from the
mortgage. Every real estate owner
knows that it takes time for the de-
veloper and builder TO get release.
II is asserted that if this bill becomes
law a purchaser could, upon ms de
mand and failure to receive his install
ments back, Immediately obtain a war
rant in criminal proceedings against
the seller.
MANY developers assert that the et-
feet Of such q law would be TO serious
IL retard the development of Nassau,
Westchester. Rockland and Richmond
counties. and that it would inure TO the
advantage of suburban New Jersey and
Connecticut entirely.
