the majority have no baths or hot
water, ventilation and light are not
good and are located in neighbor-
hoods that might be classed as unde-
sirable.
Commissioner Mann claims that
these tenements were occupied py
immigrants who remained until
through Americanization and better
financial status they were able to
graduate" to the better classes Of
abodes.
Commissioner Mann submitted fig
ures on the building situation, which,
he says, is greatly improving. From
Jan. 1 to May 10 of this year, lsg
plans for buildings have been filed
in his department. These plans call
for a total OF 3,o10 new apartments.
How does that compare with other
years?" asked Elmer Sammis, coun-
sci for the Legislative Committee.
1T compares very favorably," re-
piled the Commissioner. "The num-
ber Of plans for the FIRST quarter this
year is equal to. II not greater than,
the number filed during the first
quarter of 1915, 1917 and 1918"
Have you any information on the
average demand for apartments?"
was asked.
That Is based to a very great ex-
tent on the increase in the popula-
tion. According TO information OBJ
tained at the Department of Health
the average natural increase Is $4,000
a year. But l contend those figures
are based on pre-war conditions. In
1913 there We're $4,000 deaths and
$4,000 births. That leaves a natural
Increase of but 10000. Since there is
no immigration, but rather emigration,
| there appears to be no other source OF
Increase beyond the natural increase,
The population increase in New York
City during the past two or three
years Is not over 10000,
Therefore, unless there is a change
in conditions, $4,000 new apartments
year would be sufficient to meet the
| present laws OF supply and demand.
| In reply to quegtions by Senator
Kaplan whether the old law tene-
ments could be renovated to meet the
demands OF the more fastidious dwell
| ers, Commissioner Mann replied that
the main difference between the old
and the new apartments is that the
former has very poor light and ven
| tllation.
Commissioner Mann added that the
tendency OF construction OF building;
seemed TO be along the line of smal
dwellings,, mostly OF the two family
type. He gave II as his opinion that
lessees are largely responsible for the
prevailing condition OF increased
rents. The Commissioner said that 4
tho present rate of construction con
tinues throughout the year the pres
ent crisis will be materially relieved
Senator Abeles OF the Bronx, ques
toned the Commissioner as TO tn,
practicability OF having a law passed
to curb rent proflteers.
The Commissioners gave It as hi
opinion that such a law would b
inadvisable because II would affec
injuriously all landlords who have no
been put in the profiteering class.
Senator Abeles suggested that lay
as he had in mind might be passed I

CONTROL
BLAMED IN HOUSE
FOR COSTLY FOOD
Fitzgerald ASsailS experts"
and War Departments
"Hoarding" of Supplies.

WASHINGTON, May ss.-Govern-
ment control Of food is responsible for
present high prices, Representative
Fitzgerald. Democrat, and former Bos-
ton Mayor, declared to-day as he car
ried his fight against the high cost Of
living to the floor OF the House.
The holding OF vast quantities Of
food by the army, the soaring price
Of wheat above the 32,2s mark and
efforts OF the Government TO export
large quantities OF food have resulted
In hardship TO the people, Fitzgerald
declared.
''The time has come for the House
TO determine just what the food situ-
alton is, and whether the Government
agencies are connlving to obtain a
corner in food, thus keeping up
prices" he said.
Although a Democrat, l must say
that | do not have confidence in men
the administration has placed at the
head Of the food control bureaus. The
war is over and there are brains
enough among the common people to
manage the food situation without
leaving II to too many 'experts.' The
President and his Cabinet called on
the common people to make all kinds
OF sacrifices during the war. II is
time that they give attention to this
situation"
Representative Fitzgerald claimed
In one part OF the United States
alone the War Department has 1OO,-
100000 cans of beef and $4,000, 900
pounds OF bacon In storage, which,
II thrown on the market would be a
big factor in lowering prices.
He also gave figures on poultry,
claiming while prices OF May 1,
1919. were rs TO so per cent. above
those Of May 1, 1918, storage stocks
showed for the same period these in
creases: broilers 24O per cent; roast
ers 1o7; fowls 27s poultry 200. . 20
Fitzgerald said he had tried 70 OBJ
tain information from Federal Grain
Administrator Barnes as to why
wheat prices are considerably above
the S2.26 guaranteed price with the
greatest wheat crop in history in
sight, but failed.
Congress, in fairness to the
workers, should see that the 1925
price Is both n minimum and a maxi
mum" he said with nm exDorta hle
this can be easily done by closing the
