TO HASTEN WORK ON
FLUSHING BAY PIERS
City Asks Government to
Hurry Improvement of Land
locked Harbor in Queens.

A forward step toward the improve
ment Of the sections adjacent to Flushing
Bay was taken last week when the Sink
ing Fund Commission adopted resolu-
tions presented by Borough President
Maurice E. Connolly and advocated by
merce. calling upon the Federal Govern
ment TO hasten the improvement OF this

cess TO the proposed piers for oosan-
going vessels and requesting the Com
missioner OF Docks to proceed with the
preparation or a comprehensive plan for
a series of twenty-four piers. 1900 feet
in length and 200 to 800 feet in width.
with railroad connections.
Borough President Connolly urged the
Sinking Fund Commission to act at once,
as he considered this Improvement TO be
one of the most important in its possi-
bilities for the development of the entire
borough.
The resolutions adopted by the Sinking
Fund Commission on June were az
follows:
Resolved by the Commissioners OF
the Sinking Fund OF the city of New
York, that waterfront on the westerly

BLAMES HIGH COSTS
ON PUBLIC BUILDING
Board Lays Scarcity of Labor
and Materials to Vast Gov
ernment Projects.

The Real Estate Board OF New York
attributes the high cost of building ma
terial and labor engaged in the building
industries TO the great preponderance OF
public building. In a statement Issued
yesterday the board says:
For the first four months of 1921 the
plans for buildings filed in the twenty
five northeastern States amounted In es-
timated cost to $1.694, 1000. OF this
amount $lSS. 900 was for business
buildings. s160.911,100 for industrial
buildings and $500. 900 for residen-
tial buildings. making IA total of $780,
$4,000. The rest, 1854. .3S4.600, was for
public buildings, national. State or mu-
nicipal. In other words. only 23 Per
cent OF the entire amount was for resi-
dental construction and 81 per cent. for
public buildings.
I'm the erection o. the latter buildings
the state or municipal laws require the
contractor TO pay the prevailing rate OF
wages and to carry out the provisions
of the eight hour day. There is no GER
tain way of preventing collusive bid
ding and no impelling incentive on the
part of the officials responsible for the
work to obtain the lowest price possible
1t Is also true, and this was shown in
the Lockwood committee inquiry. that
many OF the larger business and indus
trial buildings were contracted for un-
der the cost-plus plan, and the mainte-
nance of pleasant relations with the
business agents OF labor unions and the
combinations of material were more de-
sirable than attempts to force their
prices down in accord with the decreased
cost of living.
LAS a result builders OF residential
houses were compelled 10 compete for
LABOR against builders who were more or
less Indifferent to costs. This has re-
suited in the erection of two family
houses at a cost that makes impossible
an economical rent that Is, one that the
tenant can afford to pay and the builder
or owner can afford TO take. 1t is also
largely responsible for the lack of build
ing projects for multifamily houses.
There should be a cessation of public
building until the housing shortage is
over, so that labor and material will be
available for residential construction.
Labor also must meet the same competi-
ton that the agricultural and other in
terests of the country are now meeting
and respond to the decrease in the cost
of living, for themselves as we'll as for
others"
