Home Construction
Is Speeding Up in
Queens Borough
1903 Permits for Residep.
iial Operations Granted
in April; Cheap Land
and Material Responsible

home building seems to be the CEN
ter of all building construction now
going on in Queens. In the month of
April 1903 permits were filed, nearly
all of which were for dwellings. These
houses are from the smallest type TO
the muiti-family apartment. In the
last week the number of permits ap-
phed for was greater than any former
week during May, with an estimated
total in cost of over $1.00o00
Ameng the larger structures for
which plans we're filed is a five-story
apartment with stores on plot COOK
lao, TO be erected on Queens Boulevard
at the Lowery Street subway station.
Long Island City, by Herbert Dongan,
OF Kew Gardens, 1t is estimated to
cost S3S5,00o.
This increase in building is due, ac-
cording to builders, TO several causes.
The chief one, perhaps, is the COM
paratively cheap land. Quite large
number Of plans filed within the last
few months have been by men who
had share in the building-up of Man
haitian, Brooklyn and the Bronx. Sew
eral sales of lots held in the Long
Island City section of the borough
recently have attracted many of this
class OF builders.
Another influential cause for the in
crease in building is the exemption
from taxation for ten years of dwell
ings, and still another is that the
prices in building materials have
reached the lowest point in several
years. While wages remain at the
high level of last year, it is agreed
that labor is more efficient and is Civ
ing better return for his wage.
This new construction is confined
for the most part to dwellings and is
in operation all over Queens Borough
In the Long Island City, Jamaica, Rich
mond Hill and Woodhaven sections, the
building plans are largely for the
apartment house or two-family type of
dwelling, while in other sections the
single-family type predominates.
Builders report many requests for
estimates, and look forward to the best
season in several pears

Saving of Town by Drink
Thousands at Rothenburg, Ba-
varia, Pay Homage to Mem
DRY of 1851 Burgo1naster

ROTHENBURG, Bavaria. June 20
{By MaiD.-Thousands Of visitors
gathered at Rothenburg this year to
attend the historical festival, "The
Master Draught," which is given an
nualIy in celebration of the preserva-
ton of the historic old town from de-
struction when lilly captured it is
1851, after the surrender and retire
ment of Gustavus Adolphus's forces
which co0perated with the villagers.
After the Passion Play, which is
given every ten years at Oberammer-
gau, the Rothenburg festival is prob
ably the best known of all the Bavar-
ian folkplays. Nearly all the 1000 in
habitants of the picturesque walled
town participate in the brilliant festi"
val, which continues throughout most
of the day.
The play opens in the valleys sur
rounding the fortified city. BY de-
grees the actors make their way to
the city gates, enter the narrow streets
and. finally terminate the performance
in the city hall, where Burgomaster
Nusch saved the town from destruc-
ton by taking three litres of wine at
one draught in response to the chal-
lenge of lilly.
Every day at noon the residents of
Rothenburg are reminded of Burgo-
master Nusch's feat. When the great
town clock in the city hall square
sounds -, doors beside the timepiece
open and life-s sized figures of lilly and
Nusch appear. The burgomaster lifts
a goblet to his lips and when it is
emptied the two figures disappear.
