To THE EDITOR or THE SUN-SN': One
of the bills affecting the business of the
city Of New York now under discussion
would change the dates for the payment
OF taxes. The newspapers have printed
a statement about THE measure from
the Advisory Council OF Real Estate
interests. Of which I am chairman.
There is considerable difference OF
opinion concerning this bill among the
studied II. tie merits will be discussed
at the conference that We have re-
quested OF the Mayor. But the discus.
sion should not be allowed to distract
attention from the main legislative pro-
ramm Of relief for the city.

The bill provides for one inspection
covering the construction Of new

Labor Department would he elimi-

would harmonixe the regulations and

would be appointed by the Mayor
and he responsible to him. and It's ex.

manner regularly prescribed for other

In order to obtain agreement the
advocates Of q number Of desirable
reforms have been obliged TO subor.
