Glass Says Useful
Building Should
Be Supported
No Reason Exists, Treasury
Head Asserts, Why Money
Should Not Be Avail
able for Construction

"No valid reason now exists why
sufficient credit should not be made
available for useful building opera
tions," said Secretary of the Treasury
Glass, in a statement made at Wash
ington recently.
"The impression seems to exist" he
said, chat policies initiated during the
war by Secretary McAdoo and by the
Federal Reserve Board for the con-
servation of credit are still fully eff
fective and are responsible for mac
tivitv in the building trades. The ac-
tivities of the country have undergone
great change since the signing of the
armistice and many industries which
were engaged in the production of war
material and for which credits were
essential are now directing their en-
ergies to other lines more nearly .re-
lated to the normal activities O peace
consequently many Of the policies
which were adopted to meet war needs
are now out of date. My own impress
sion is that inactivity III the building
trades is directly traceable not to any
insufficiency of credit but to the con-
tinuancc of abnormally high costs"

Bings Purchase
Another Loft
I'm West Goth St.
Third Structure in Same
Block Secured in Last Few
Days; Paid Profit for 1t;
Was Held at $65O,OOO

Bing & Bng. who last week bought
T c-frst streets between Fifth and
Sixth Avenues have secured another,
the twelve-story structure at 5<i to
GO West Twenty first Street. which
abuts the Twentieth Street building
bought by the operators and build
ers last week from the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company. An interest
ing feature is that the Bings are un-
derstood to have paid a profit for the
building. Frederick Brown bought the
property some time ago under the
name of the Barclay Holding Com
pany and it comes to light now that
Mr.. Brown has resold the property to
Henry Edelmuth at an advance and
that Mr.. Edulmuth in turn has de-
manded his price from the Bings. The
building is nine years old and was
built by Henry Corn at about the time
he put up the Twentieth Street struct-
ure. also held by the Bings. The
property has been in the market at
S6500o0. Every inch of space in the
ltructure is rented and at rates which
show return of $4,000. The build
ing covers site OIL liz Ieet on IWen-
ty-hrst Street and 100 feet deep. The
rear of the structure overlooks the
quaint church structure of the Holy
Communion at the northeast corner Of
Sixth Avenue and Twentieth Street.
Harry B. Cutner arranged the sale of
the property to Mr.. Edulmuth and also
the resale to the Bings.

Front Street, covering lot 24x97 The
transaction was a cash deal with no
exchange involved. MIR. Schonbrunn,
who has been the lessee of the build
ing for about fifteen years. will make
extensive improvements. The transac-
ton is of interest because only week
ago Mr. O'Donohue sold SO Front

fee merchants, and the Markham
Realty Corporation. Clarence w. Eek
nardt, president, has just purchased 81

New Thrift Stamp
Campaign Planned
To Promote Saving
<
Government Intends to Gain
More Than Mere Financial
Benefit From This Years
Appeal for Quarters

Believing that the lesson OF thrift
learned during the war should continue
to influence American life, the United
States government will open soon an
extended war savings stamp drive to
run during the year 1919 While the
proceeds of the drive will be relied
upon to make unnecessary a sixth Lib
erty Loan, the main object in carrying
it on will be to promote the saving
idea.
Plans for the coming campaign we're
made yesterday at the Chamber of Com
merce, IS Liberty Street. 1t was an
nounced that the National War Savings
Committee had been dsbanded, and
that in its place there had been estab-
lshed a war savings branch of the
government War Loan Organization.
Guy Emerson, vcedirector of the
War Loan Organization in the New York
district, laid the preliminary plans be-
fore a meeting of bankers. business
men and women and city officials from
Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Rock
land, Putnam, Dutchess, Orange Sull-
van and Ulster counties. Four more
meetings will be held in upstate dis
tricts before the drive is begun.
Drive Will Aid Banks
"The government will use the money
raised by war savings stamps to pay
off it's debts of honor" Mr. Emerson
said, "but it must be remembered that
the important thing is to keep up the
idea of saving 1t is the desire of the
Treasury, too, to ease the burden sof
the banks in carrying Liberty bonds
and stamp money, as they will be need
ed to finance new industrial schemes.
eve want the individual to continue
to lend his money. Not only will this
teach the lesson Of thrift but it will
serve to put down. d great deal of
unrest, since owners of government
securities are not likely to be given over
to radical or Bolshevik ideas"
Every man, woman and child will be
asked to pledge a quarter q week to
thrift stamps. A small pleoge has
been found to be more satisfactory
than large one. Mr.. Emerson said, be-
cause it is easily met.
Quotas Will Be Reduced
Quotas for states, which had been
assigned in too large amounts, will be
reduced this year. Only two states were
able to meet the allotted war savings
stamps quota in 1918.
The w. S. S. has met with such ap-
proval in the schools, Mr.. Emerson
said, that there has been demand
that it be made permanent. Lessons in
thrift are to be introduced as part
of the regular curriculum, and the one
cent postage stamp will probably be
made unit in the thrift system.
Captain A. y. Simmonds. following
Mr.. Emerson. spoke of the new basis
on which war loans would have to be
made. now that the war was over, and
urged those present to make clear to
the people that motives of thrift and
saving must now replace patriotic mo-
tives in buying stamps and bonds.
