After several bubbles are blown he

the first mortgage placed by the insur-
ance company free to be used in con-
structing the houses.
Lawrence Mcclure, chairman of the
sub committee, declared that under the
arrangement suggested only very
small cash payment would be required
by prospective purchasers, and plans
are being considered whereby this in
vestment may be obviated in certain
cases. It was the opinion of some of
the real estate men present that build
ing costs would be lowered 10 per cent
during the next year, and that even
further reductions may be looked for.
Besides tax exemption legislation on
real estate, the committee advocated
the exemption of mortgage interest
from taxation.
1t was pointed out that if homes
built now were exempted from taxa
ton this saving for a period of five
years would offset any depreciation III
property values due to reduction in
building costs, encourage much build
ing and bring big return to tho city
at the expiration Of the period of grace
by enabling the city to tax homes that
would not have been built under con-
ditions as they exist to-day. The pro-
posed exemption would apply TO dwell
ing houses only.

Deep.Sea Safety Rules Bar
Most Craft, but the Vets
See No Barrier to LIQUID
Besides the Salt Water

There probably will be only one ex-
cursion steamer to accommodate those
eager to see the international yacht
race, according to Fred A. Bishop.
president Of the Iron Steamboat Com
pany. Mr.. Bishop said yesterday that
the strict application of deep sea safety
regulations by Federal authorities
would rule out all ordinary excursion
craft.
The Highlander, the one boat that
viii attend the race, has been chartered
by the New York Yacht Club, it is
SAID, tor 5000 a day, that price being
regarded as necessary to cover the eX-
penses of new equipment that the trip
viii require under the law. Lifcboats,
RATS and pontoons, provisioned and
equipped as on coastwise vessels and in
the same proportion to passengers
must be on every boat attending the
race. according to the steamboat in
spectlon service
An appeal made to j. W Alexander,
Secretary Of Commerce, to construc the
Ia" so that excursion steamers could
carry passengers out beyond Sandy
Hook to see the race without provid~
ing themselves with new and expensive
httlngs. has proved unavailing. Mr..
Bishops statement on the situation was
issued after he had been in conference
with representatives Of the Central
Railroad of New Jersey, the New Eng
land Steamship Company, the Eastern
Steamship Company and the Old Do
minion Line,
The Mark Tapleys and Pollyannas,
however, refused to take Mr. Bishops
statement as seriously as it was in
tended they should. They declared
that If the government was so particu-
lar about insisting that the race was
TO be high seas affair, it could take
no otfcnse if liquor was served on such
boats as managed to get out to the
course.
1t was suggested also that the stand
taken by the government presented an
opportunity for England to send ex-
cursion steamers, deep-laden with the
beverages of the tight little isle. TO
the thlee-mile limit, where American
vessels could transfer their passengers
to the English craft, which then would
steam away on the high seas to the

1000 Lots in Brooklyn
Offered TO H0n1eseekers
Legislation to Exempt New Construction From
Taxation Proposed Before Mayors Committee
Plans to Relieve Situation Here Take Shape

Plans for relieving the housing stu
alton in New York City took definite
form yesterday at the meeting of the
sub-t ommittee on real estate of the
Mayors Committee on Housing when
". Z. Harmon, of Wood, Harmon e.
Co., offered 900 lots in improved sec
tions Of Brooklyn to home seekers on
terms that will put home within easy
reach.
Coupled with the offer of mortgage
loans made at Wednesdays meeting Of
the sub committee on investment and
capital by the Metropolitan Life In
surance Company, the problem Of sup
plying the needs of the small home
seeker is now believed to have been
considerably simplfed.
Mr.. Harmon also suggested that all
new construction be exempted from
taxation for period of from five to
ten years, or until the present emer-
gcncy is passed. This legislation, if
enacted, would bring on the biggest
building boom that New York had ever
seen, Mr.. Harmon said The COM
mittee approved this suggestion. Mr.
Harmon announced that his land COM
pany was ready to accept second mort,
cages in payment for the lots leaving
