Better Forty-second Street
Aim of Real Estate Owners
Proposed Improvements Planned to Make Street
More Attractive 10 Shoppers; Rental Values
To Be Protected

Forty-second Street, for many years
the centre of the White Way, is going
to turn its attention TO the serious side
Of life. At a meeting Of prominent
property owners and business men
heId Yesterday at the headquarters Of
the Forty Street Association it
was decided to enter upon an active
campaign for the Improvement of con-
dltlons affecting this famous thorough
lare and the nearby districts.
Walter j. Salmon, president Of the
associations, presided at the meeting,
and after general discussion of the
conditions prevailing at present gave
the aims of the association, which are
as follows:
Increase sales of retail stores by
adding to the prestige of the street
as shopping centre.
Improve pedestrian and vehicular
traffic conditions.
Obtain adequate subway service to
and from The TWO subway systems.
Accelerate new building operations.
Obtain tenants.
Obtain an improved lighting system
commensurate with the Importance Of
this thoroughfare.
Eliminate "schlock" stores from
Forty-second Street and improve mer-
camille conditions.
Induce all river and sound steamers
to land at Forty Street piers
Obtain improved and enlarged public
docks at Forty-second Street and East
and North Rivers

vocate and which the Corporation
Counsel is understood to be preparing.
Bills Await Action
The Real Estate Board is already
represented at Albany by two bills on
the general subject of taxation. the
object of which is to relieve real prop
erty Of part of its burdens by re-
stricting the city's powers of levyng
of taxes on realty to per cent of I e
assessed value. and by the same bill
limiting the rate on personally to
being that citizens win voluntarily pay
a tax of quarter of per cent on
their personally, and so provide a
much larger revenue than seems to be
collectlble under the present law. BY
another bill they seek to have some
Of the exemptions of the present law
removed, so that larger valuation
will be subject to taxation.
There is furthermore considerable
body among tax payers who are of the
opinion that there should be no ex-
emption of real property from tax
alton, or at least that only property
that is owned by the city, state or ma
ton should be so exempt. The assessed
value Of property. owned by the city
is $3.50 100000; by the state, $7773,-
600; by the nation. S67730OO and by
religious, educational and charitable
bodies, $406 ,2OS 600.

tuted. Similar experiments were in
the meantime being made in Ameri-
ca.
The battle in the country against
use and abuse Of liquor began in a
mild way as a protest in pulpits
against drunkenness. A New Eng
land society went so far as to bind
its members not to get drunk except
on the Fourth Of July and general
training days.
Advocates Of moderation gave way
to those who felt that only total abb
stinence was the remedy. Then the
battle began.
East Hampton, L. l., in 1851, for
bade the sale Of more than two
drams Of distilled lquor for immedi-
ate drinking
The constitution of Virginia, 1876,
prohibited sales Of wines and ardent
spirits, except in jamestown.
In 1850, Quakers abolished the hab-
IT Of drinking at funerals.
The first congress of 1777 recon-
that laws be passed stopping
the distilling Of grain.
Churches took a definite stand
against the use Of intoxicants.
In 1889 the first temperance socie-
ty was organized by 200 Connecticut
farmers.
The first recorded demand for pro
was made by John Chalmers,
Of Nassau N, IT,, in 1895. 1t attrac-
ted little attention.
IN 1927 it was announced that 200
societies had been form
ed in 16 states and that 10000 men
pledged abstinence.
In 1888 it was estimated that 5000

temperance societies had l,95O,OOO
members.
State legislatures commenced to
pass laws in an effort to limit the
traffic. The Illinois legislature en-.
acted "locol option" law.
The first large temperance society
was founded in Washington in 1910.
Many others soon sprang into being
Next "sign-the-pledge" wave
swept the country. This movement
was given its impetus by churches
in America and Great Britain.
By this time the liquor question
had become great national issue in
politics. Maine took revolutionary
step when it adopted statewide pro
hibition in 1916. Other states swung
into line.
But 70 years elapsed from the
time the first state voted liquor out
side its borders before national pro
hibition was ratified by 36 states.
When congress pas ed the nation
al prohibition was ratified by 96
states.
When congress passed the national
prohibition amendment, November,
1918, there were SO dry" states. Sew
eral others were partially dry, with
local option laws in effect.
