New York to-day has less percentage
of home ownership tnan any other
city in the country, while Boston has
10 per cent increase over that OF
New York. Chicago and Philadelphia
have twice as many property owners;
Cleveland and Milwaukee, Buffalo,
Baltimore and San Francisco have
three times as many while Seattle
and Los Angeles have four times as
many. II is, of course, understood
that there are many families through
out the country which are we'll able
TO own their own homes, but prefer
to rent apartments, ard this is espe-
cially true of New York City. II has
been estimated that there are in the
City of New York alone 100000 fami-
lies that are financially able 20 own
$4,000 homes, but rrefer TO rent
apartments or live at hotels. To en-
courage this class o. people to pur-
chase property and also TO augment
the property owning class in general
were among the reasons for submit
ting those amendments TO the Con-
stitutional Convention by the Advls-
DRY Council and the Charities Organ
lzation Society of New York and the
Brooklyn Bureau of Charities.
However. the sentiment for the re-
friction of buildings height and the
coming Of the city, likewise condemning
of unsanitary areas for park purposes,
prevailed not merely in real estate cir
ces. This fact was evidenced by the
introduction of similar amendments by
other association.
The Firth Avenue Association,
through Mr.. Bayes, introduced an
amendment giving to cities directly, in
stead Of TO the Legislature, the power
10 establish regulations and restric-
lions for height and zones. The Fine
Arts Federation and the Citizens Union,
through Mr.. Parsons, introduced an
amendment purporting TO effect the
same results contemplated by the Ban
mister and the Bayes amendments. In
support of all these various amend
ments real estate interests were repre-
sented by Walter Stabler, Of the Metro
politan Life Insurance Company; F. G..
Hobbs, Of the firm Of Slawson & Hobbs,
and the secretary Of the advisory coun-
Gil of Real Estate Interests. The Fifth
Avenue Association appeared through
counsel. Bruce VI. Falconer, while Al
bert Bard spoke for the Fine Arts Fed
Grafton. The Charities Organization
Society and the Brooklyn Bureau OF
Charities were represented BY Charles

THE MANAGEMENT
OF SKYSCRAPERS
Requirements That Assure
Success Are Many, Says
w. r. Thompson.

There are many points in the man.
agement of large skyscrapers that are
very little known or appreciated by the
renting public, says W. Ross Thompson
in the June issue Of "The Real Estate
Magazine" The requirements In or
der to successfully operate and manage
en- Office building are many. He says in
part:
"The manager should be both techni-
cal and practical, but in many cases
theory and practice do not go together.
He should be q man of good personal
ity, good address, clean Of habit and a
diplomat, because the class of office
seekers who inhabit all office buildings
differs in many ways.
"The Office building of to-day is prac-
tically the home of the business man,
as at least 80 per cent of his time is
spent there, and it is up 10 the man.
ager to make his surroundings as pleas
ant and comfortable as possible. This
not only requires diplomacy, but 1t re-
quires good judgment, as many OF the
requests and many of the requirements
cost the owner a great deal OF money,
much of which can be saved by using
/ tact. II All requests VI NtAAdlAlS WI 2
granted almost any building manager
of any great skyscraper in New York
City would put himself in wrong with
his owners financially, as the expendi-
lures would be enormous.
at is the chief duty of the building
manager to operate and give high grade
service at the least possible expense.
This should appeal not only to build
ing owners, but to real estate men in
general, as the operation of real estate
and management of Office buildings are
often parallel.
There are very few buildings in
New York City that are making more
than 312 per cent on the investment.
One OF the reasons for this is the high
cost of maintenance. A well managed
office building should not pay less than
10 per cent TO the owner; il should
yield 10 per cent.
GAS the building increases in size the
cost of maintenance per square foot
should go down instead of up. The
average cost of maintenance per square
foot is 60 cents for big office buildings
in New York City. 1t runs in some
cases from 20 cents TO so cents. The
lowest is 3b cents.

AWAIT REPORT
ON CITY YARD
Experts to Ascertain Probable
Damages to Madison
Street District.

The City Plan Committee of the
Board Of Estimate is going to have ex-
perts determine the probable depre-
cation Of property in Madison Street
That might result from the carrying
out Of the plans for the building of
an encumbrance yard on the block
bounded by Madison, Monroe, Pike and
Market Streets When this important
phase Of the matter is decided, he
committee will then take definite &C
non on 'he project. which has aroused
widespread opposition among owners
and residents Of the district. Pr 81
cent McAneny Of the Board OF Alder
men, is chairman Of the committee.
About a week ago the matter was
referred 10 that committee by Mayor
mitchell. whose action put stop TO the
YORK Of preparing the block in ques-
non Tor use as an encumbrance yard
oy the city Neighborhood owners
nave advanced many arguments TO
snow that the proposed yard would
Work a great injury TO the entire dis
Ilct causing a big depreciation Of

Advocate State Control of Building Height
PhpFN Condemnation Unwiay Blocks for Park Use When Public
Health Demands in the Numtero Property in
Height

Coleman Miller, John c. Gebhart and
Lawrence WELLER.
Lawson Purdy, president of the Tax
Board, discussed the legal aspects Of
the various amendments, reinforcing
the position taken by Walter Lindner
in his letter TO Mr.. Low. The letter TO
Mr.. Low, read at the commencement Of
the hearing, was as follows:
"The advisory council of Real Estate
Interests favors strengthening and in
creasing these public regulatory
powers, which are in the nature Of an
extension of the police power OF the
state. Arguments upon the social and
economic aspects of this subject will
be presented to you in such detail that
it is not necessary in this place to add
to the discussion. One aspect, however,
of this subject the committee on legls-
lation of the advisory council of Real
Estate Interests considers il proper to
present So far as the exercise of the
powers now proposed to be specifically
granted comes within the recognized
police power of the state, it may be ar
gued that il is not necessary to add
further expression thereof 70 the con-
stitution. But the question is one which
will come up for decision, not only IN
the state courts, but one upon which
appeal may be made 20 the Federal
courts on the ground that rights guar
anteed by the United States Constitu-
ton might be infringed by the exercise
of the powers now sought 70 be ex-
pressed. II it is wise that the state and
cities shall have this power, and 1t IS
assumed that il is wise, then the sol
emn declaration of the people Of the
State of New York contained in their
constitution, that they desire 10 exer-
else these powers may have a great and
even a controlling influence 70 sustain
such action taken under them when the
question is presented 10 the United
States Supreme Court.
ut would seem, however, that in
framing such constitutional provisions
and the legislation TO carry them out
care must be taken TO remain within
the limits Of the promotion OF the gen.
eral physical and moral welfare OF the
people, and not TO overstep these
bounds by seeking to preserve mere
property values, as is contemplated in
some Of the propositions which are be-
fore your committee"
At the conclusion Of the hearing a
special committee, with Morgan O'Brien
al chairman, was appointed by Mr.. Low
10 confer upon these amendments with
the various interests represented.

SEEKS HOWE
RULE FOR CITY
Broker Says That the State Con-
stitution Should Guar
antee 1t.
By John Finck.

A constitutional convention is now
in session. Its members are leaders
in thought, and men of recognized
ability and integrity, sufficiently great
TO rise above party and stand for the
best interests of the people.
The allied real-estate interests and
the many civic institutions Astounding
in New York City, should unitedly
concentrate their efforts to secure
from the delegates to the convention
a promise TO recommend the incorpora-
ton of clause in the new constitu-
ton, guaranteeing to New York City
a measure permitting it to regulate
its own local affairs, free from all
outside interference. This is the time
and opportunity, and the convention is
the place, for the securing of results
which ultimately will benefit the mil
lions.
Home rule for New York City has
been intermittently advocated for
many years, but owing to a lack of
ceneralship, little if any progress has
been made. Ireland fought for home
rule, since and before the days OF
Parnell, against odds which appeared
insurmountable, the vote in both Com
mons and House Of Lords being over
whelmingly opposed to any conces-
sions. The Irish people fought on un-
daunted, and by their indomitable bel
Hgerency, succeeded in winning to
their cause no less a champion than
the immortal Gladstone. After years
of fighting, concessions have been
granted and home rule has become an
assured fact.
New York City, the recognized me-
tropols Of the New World, with its
various activities, immense wealth, and
ver-growing population, is slave to
the upper State, and is not permitted
to govern itself. New York City is
much 10 the State, and receives but
little in return. 1t has seemed diff
fcult matter TO pass laws at Albany,
which are obviously to our interests,
even though in nowise hostile to the
State
When we desire to spend money, our
own money for our own benefit, we
must take off our cap, make humble
obeisance, and ask permission from
the State, and perhaps drive a SHARP
bargain, before being permitted to
spend our own. All this in face Of
the fact that the city has real estate
valued at $4,000, 100000 compared
with $5,000,000,000 for the rest OF the
State.
We are victims of mandatory legis-
lation ordering excessive improvements
without regard TO our indebtedness or
borrowing capacity.
