Discuss Means of Relief
From Taxation Burdens
Stephen Yates Talks on Sub.
ject al Meeting of State Real
Estate Association

Stcphcn Yates. James Frank and w.
II. Mills were delegates from this city
at the meeting of the Real Estate As
ISOLATION of the State of New York,
held in Syracuse last week
A discussion of means of relief from
present burdens of taxation was led
by Mr.. Frank. Bills to be presented
to the Legislature regulating the sub
division of land and control of opera
tors, with the special object of elm
mating the activities of dishonest de-
velopers were considered.
Senator Davenport, chairman of the
State Tax Committee, spoke of the
necessities that led to the framing of
the state income tax bill He empha-
sized the need of an effective check on
expenditures as being equally as if
of revenue. He showed how there was
no other available source of additional
revenue than an income tax, and stated
that his bill provided for the division
OF the revenue, so per cent to be re-
turned to the municipalities and so per
cent to be used for state expenses.
The proposition for the organization
of state mortgage bank to be back
of the present mortgage institutions
as the Federal Reserve Bank is back
Of the commercial institutions was
supported by John w. Paris, of New
York. The objections to the bill were
brought out by Douglas f. Petit, treas
urer of the Onondaga County Savings
Bank

5th Ave.'s Trade Expansion Routing Famous
Landmarks; Sherry's Gives Way to Trust Co.

Shcrry's taken for trade, the impos-
sible has been lifted from all Fifth
Avenue. Until last week there were
comparatively few who could think of
Louis Sherry surrcndering his corner
1t was only a short time ago that he
renewed his lease on the property
with the Brokaw family and secured
control of the parcel adjoining on
Fifth Avenue, indications to many of
the intentions of Mr. Sherry to hold
there.
Mr.. Sherry was not against making
some profit out OF the real estate he
controlled, and he told several Fifth
Avenue brokers who had approached
his lease for S2,000,OOO. Whether Mr..
Sherry was serious when he said this
is not known, but there are a number
of brokers who held that he would not
get his figure.
Progress cannot be denied. The de
vclopment Of the "Uptown Wall Street"
section has brought big business to
the Guaranty Trust Company, and it
was essential to its future that larger
premises than those taken about a
year and half ago in the Postal Life
building, at the southeast corner of
Fifth Avenue and Forty-third street.
be secured. They could not be had in
the Postal Life Building, nor in the
structures adjacent. In fact, there
was no space sufficient to accommodate
the demands Of the trust company to
be had in the Fifth Avenue and Forty
second Street section. The officials of

the increase in country house construc-
ton over that of 1915 a. 10 per cent at
least He said that in some parts of
the country it would be higher. For
instance, in this part Of the state brick
is selling at about SIS a thousand,
while near Syracuse $40 a thousand is
the price. In other things costs up
state are under those in the Metropoli-
tan district of New York. In some sec
tlons it is not as much material as la
Dor that increases costs. Skilled men
are not to be had to put into form the
material which can be had in the local
section, perhaps at prices less than in
this part of the state
Another architect substantiated these
expressions. He said that the price in
crease was as much as 10 per cent. be-
cause only last week he let contract
for house at $4,000 which could be
built in 1915 at $40 900
Except for thing, everything that goes
INTO the construction Of the country
nome has moved up big step. Even
the builders profit has advanced 90 per
cent. Carpentry, which is the chief
item IN the construction of most coun-
try houses, has advanced more than
any other. How much construction
work in suburban areas has increased
over costs of 1915, the last year that
escaped the influences of the war, is
indicated in the following figures: On
them a contract for country house
was let last week. The architect has
figured that the house could have been
completed for $1,000 less in 1915. A
