Ordinance to Free
New Buildings of
Taxes Is Reported
Committee in Board of AL
dermen Recommend the
Adoption, But Measure Is
Laid Ovei. for a Week

Alderman William T. Collins, chair
man OF the Committee on General Wei
fare Of the Board of Aldermen, yes
terday presented to the board the re-
port Of the committee on the ordinance
providing for the exemption Of taxa
tion of new buildings planned for
dwelling purposes, providing that con-
struction was begun before April J.,
1920, and completed for occupancy
April /, 1922. The principal paragraph
Of the proposed ordinance read as fol
lows:
ut is further ordained that such ex-
emptions shall be granted to a single
family house completed within the
statute only where the assessed valua-
tion by the Department of Taxes and
Assessments of the City Of New York
is not more than $40 100, and a two
family house only whore the assessed
valuation is not more than $20,0 900, and
a nulti-family house only where such
assessed valuation is not more than
$4,000 for each separate family apart
ment therein, however, that such ex-
ellIptioHS small uOl DC granted III re-
spect to any such building or apart
ment if occupied other than by the
owner of the property which is rented
at monthly rate of rental in excess IS
of SIS for each habitable room there in,
or for which such excessive rate is
demanded"
A habitable room is not deemed to
include a bath room, toilet pantry or
alcove. There is also a provision in
the ordinance that if the above con-
ditions should be held to be uncon-
slitutional and contrary to the state
law relating to tax exemption, the
rest Of the ordinance should remain
in effect. The report says that it is
the belief Of the committee that it was
never the intent Of the Legislature to
afford relief from local taxation for
the next ten years to the opulent
citizen who can afford q residence de-
handing the highest skill of the archi-
tect and the artisan, or the apartment
house builder where the rentals would
be of such a nature that the occupancy
must necessarily be confined to the
wealthy or the well-to-do. The COM
mittee recommended the adoption of
the ordinance, but it was laid over for
q week for further consideration.
The board passed resolution au-
thorizing the issue of $4,000 in special
revenue bonds to provide for the opera
tion Of the Midland Railway surface
lines on Staten Island. An appropria-
tion of 100000 has already been made
for The purchase of cars by the city
for the operation of the lines, and the
cars have been obtained.

Alleged rrice-Fixing
In connection with the examination
of Easton, minutes and records Of the
Concrete Fireproofng Association and
It's offspring, the Concrete Estimating
Bureau, were produced and read into
the proceedings.
Under the workings of this Estmat
ing Bureau according to Easton, the
twelve members bound themselves to
base all their proposals on estimates
| furnished by this bureau. Then the
firms were to add 10 per cent to the
| estimates as an overhead charge before
paid 2is per cent Of the contract into
the bureau as a sort Of sinking fund.
This, however, was to be divided pro-
portioNately among the unsuccessful
bidders at the end of the year. The
cla per cert was reduced later to a 7a
per cent
The bureau, Easton said, was his own
idea and war formed at a meeting of
the association in April, 1919.
y Don't you consider this scheme ille-
gal and a method of preventing low
bidding?" asked Mr.. Untermyer.
"No,"
All Contracts Inspected
1t was testified that all members
were ordered TO submit to the Organl-
zation all data concerning bids and
later to submit the signed contract.
The agreement among members of the
bureau, according to the testimony,
provided that bidders on any estimate
might add, "whatever sum or sums for
profit that they may desire, but in no
case shall this. be lower than 10 per
cent. plus 21a per cent for the bu-
reau"

fer with Mr. Steinbrink to-day.
Major La Guardia wrote Mayor Hy-

brink, in which the latter said he
would become associate counsel upon
the condition that any line of inquiry
which he indicated would be made Mr..
Steinbrink declared that in work of
this kind "men must be unfettered
and not play favorites." Mayor Hy-
Ian, in reply to Major La Guarda,
said:
II unhesitatingly accede to your
suggestion as to an associate counsel
in the person of Mr.. Steinbrink. The
participation aof an associate counsel
nominated by you will make doubly
certain that the investigation into these
contracts will be searching and un-
sparing and disclose without fear or
favor what the truth is with respect to
whether any of them are tainted or
whether or not there has been any pri-
vate or official wrongdoing in co1nec-
tion with any of them.
'This is as it should be and as de-
sire it to be. My sole wish is that the
exact truth be developed and if any
guilt be disclosed that the wrongdoe er
shall be fully prosecuted and the city's
interests protected to the fullest ex-
tent Of the law"
