PONTIUS PILATES OFFICE
NOW HOME OF AMERICAN

Jerusalem, June 80. The office of
governor of Jerusalem once occupied
by Pontius Plate, is now held by Col.
Ronald Storrs, graduate of Cam
bridge University and son of the Dean
of Rochester College, Eng.
His task is one to test the adminis-
trative ability of any man. Jerusalem
is a city of disunions, where, whatever
may come of the future, for the mo-
ment Zionist and Arabs are passioate-
ly divided and to steer a just path
between them and induce them to
join him on that path is thankless
work
1t is to that task however, that he
chiefly devotes himself. Twice a
week he has meetings of his favorite
pro-Jerusalem society, where French,
British, Americans, Rabbis, Zionists,
and others who are in any way prom
inent in the life of the city are
leaders, commercial men of standing
brought together and in the course of
debate, led to see that they have in
common single citizenship. His
motto as governor is "unify and be
, friends"
Colonel Storrs was one of the prime
movers in the establishment of an in
dependent Arab kingdom. He is 38
years old.

MEANS TOOWN
HOUSESFOlJND
Cooperative Apartment Is
Plan Urged by Builders
For City Homes.

Discussing the housing situation
yesterday. an officIal of the Fred
T. Ley Company, Inc. OF New York.
said: The cooperative apartment
house win be the popular city
house OF the future. This is proved
by the number of sales that have
been made during the past few
months. The cooperative apart
ment plan not only solves many
household problems. but encourages
thrift and is a good investment in
the bargain. For instance. in Hol-
brook Hall a suite consisting of a
large foyer. living room. bedroom.
kitchenette and bath costs s12. 200
to, purchase. These apartments
rent for $4,000 a year. The cost.
therefore, is the equivalent of only
six years rent and you own your
apartment. The interest on your in
yestment at the rate Of 6 per cent a
year is s720 and allowing two per
cent a year for amortization. s24O:
1.-THE cost of such an apartment Is re-
duced to $3.50 a year. which shows
clear saving of 5000 a year.
ITO my mind. this Is the idea
plan, and / believe that the major
lity of houses. erected from now or
J in Manhattan. as well as the outly'
ling sections, will be of the cooper
ative type"

WAIT

Held Up by Failure to
Get Goods.

Architects offices and engineers
boards are piled high with new
building projects that are ready to
go ahead just as soon as the sub
contractors are able to guarantee
delivery of materials, says Allen Z.
Beals in the New York Times.
Price slashing is not to be looked
for. The structural steel business
has never been given over to prof
iteering. The conditions causing
the collapse of the price premium
market are not those that will up
set the minimum price levels now
ruling. These minimums are held
rigid by the price-stabilizing infiu-
ence in the trade. and yet the same
business is not being offered to those
quoting premiums. Buyers are
waiting for the low priced mills to
be able to accept their offerings or
until the premium price interests
come down to the stabilized level

QUAKER MAYOR BARS
REALTY TAX BOOST

The most encouraging piece of
information given the real estate
owner, especially the little fellow
whose holdings begin and end with
the modest two-story house he
owns or is buying, was the an
nouncement by the mayor to the
Philadelphia Real Estate Board last
week that he did not intend to
stand for any increase in the tax
rate, and that estimates of munic-
ipal ard county office expenditures
must be scaled down to figures that
would be covered by the estimated
revenue for 1921. which is approx
imately $59,0OO,O00.
The real estate owner has not en-
tirely given up hope that the mu-
nicipal authorities may eventually
turn their attention to sources 9TH
er than real estate for municipal
revenue, and Wal at least avail
themselves of all they now have
authority to collect. instead of plac-
ing almost the ertire tax burden
upon the real estate owner.

men, teachers and such, who are the
greatest sufferers and who are little
heard or spoken of.
England has had a subsidized
tenant housing policy since 1851. In
1916 the British authorities antici-
pated the housing shortage by Gre
ating a bureau of housing in the
ministry of health. Since the latter
part of 1919 they have had a subsi-
died builders policy of about %
per cent of cost. yet they are in e
worse condition than that in which
/ we find ourselves. In England ana
Wales during the past three years
100000 has been spent annually in
salaries for the housing bureaus.
The number of schemes under con-
sideration was 10000. yet one year
after the armistice was signeed not
a single house was ready for occu-
pancy.
What. then, can we do? First
and foremost re-establish the conf
dence of capital-that If il is Invest
ed in houses that the laws will pro-
tect the investment.
Second, change our national in
come tax laws. Either have a gross
sales tax and rescind the excess
profit taxes which have been great
ideterrents to enterprise and bust
ness, or exempt, as an emergency
measure, income from mortgages
from the surtaxes. II We can get
Congress to grasp the situation and
act at its next session, a great dear
will have been accomplished.
Third, enact national and State
laws to increase the facilities of the
building and loan associations.
Fourth, get after the coal mine
Iowners and their mysterious sub
sidiariese and cut out several of the
royalties and unnecessary piling up
of profits, so that the brick yard
and cement and other mills can turn
out their commodities at reasonable
prices.
Fifth. enact laws that will COM
pei the large savings banks and in
surance companies of all kinds
charitable and philanthropic insti-
tutions to do their fair share. Al
present the burden is carried by q
, few. The reserves of these compa.
nies and institutions should be di.
