Brooklyn Planning
Civic improvements
To Cost Millio S
New Public Buildings and
Miles of Paving aud Much
Needed Sewers Are Urged
on Board of Estimate

Brooklyn is soon to experience g
municipal boom that will include the
Improvement Of miles of streets and
sewer systems and the erection Of sew
eral public buildings, according to q
report issued by Borough President
RiegeImann.
Among the improvements planned
and which, it is believed. VIII be under
way within a few months, are the open
ing of Flatbush Avenue, from Avenue
u across the meadows to RocAaway In
let; the Improvement of the Jamaica
Bay section; the erection Of the Coney
Island boardwalk, thoroughfare sixty
feet wide and four miles long; the new
Snyder Avenue courthouse in Flathush;
the Greenpoint bath; the addition to the
municipal baths at Coney Island, and
the erection OF q new municipal build
ing TOR the borough on the present site
of Murphy Park, on the north side of
Joralemon Street. between the county
courthouse and Court Street
Little Delay Expected
1t is believed there Will be littl- de-
lay in having the plans for the NUM-
cipal building approved. Those who
favor :. .,olnt out that private office
buildings in Brooklyn are eXacting an
nuaI rentals totalling more than $780,
600 for room occupied by various mum
cipal departments.
The Board OF Estimate is consider
ing the plans for the extension Of
Flatbush Avenue and the erection Of
the boardwalk at Coney Island and
this fall Will take them up when its
sessions are resumed.
A marked increase in the street and
sewer improvements is shown over the
years during the war Repaving con-
tracts let for Brooklyn during the
first SIX months Of 1913 amount TO
S741 507.95 and repaving contracts
ready 10 be advertised amount to
S6JOG00 Contracts totalling $780,
12l69 have been let for street I'M
proyemcnts thus far, while there are
contracts ready for similar work ag-
eregating $1SO,600.
New Contracts Let
Sewer contracts let amount 30 $751;
4sS.05, and additional contracts
amounting to S91&,500 will soon be
published. The total OF these is So
7oL4l767 and it is believed that others
still pending Will increase his total
by $500.0O0
The effect of the war on the price
Of materials and the labor market is
reflected in comparison of the figures
for 1919 with those of last year. In
1918 the sum expended for rcpaving
was $209 ,3S291, as against the present
authorized sum OF $l,S45 1864. The
Sewer Bureaus work was seriously
hampered in 1918 and little was done
in comparison to the authorization
for 1919 of Sl,S559 9SS.03.
The Bureau of Buildings report in
dicates "a boom in activity in that line.
For the six months ending July 81
there were 1886 applications to con-
struct buildings, totalling in cost
Sl4,6.0,5S0 and 1902 permits were
issued, meaning an outlay for this
purpose Of $26,S54,766, as against the
sum of Sl3,l70,202 last year. 1t is
pointed out, however, that the acute
housing problem will not be relieved
any by this building boom, as most Of
the permits were issued for the erec-
ton OF ono-family homes and very few
for tenements.

The American Jewish Congress
appointed Commission of nine
delegates to urge this Bill of
Rights before the Peace Conference
in Paris. This Commission consists
of Louis Marshall, Judge Julian w.
Mack, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, ia
cob de Haas, Colonel Harry Cutler,
Joseph Barondess, DR.. Nathan Syr-
kin, Rabbi M. Leventhal, and Nor
ris Winchevsky, with Bernard G.
Richards as Secretary. They have
been in Paris for several months
and, thanks to the cordial and
praiseworthy assistance of Presi-
dent Wilson, the American and the
British Peace Delegations, the prin
ciples incorporated in the Bill of
Rights bid fair to become part of
the treaty that is about to be con-
cluded at Versailles.
There is not the slightest doubt
that President Wilson, in assisting
the Jewish Peace Commission in it's
mission to obtain equality and JUS
tice to the Jew in every country,
has the undivided support of the
