or this building was undertaken many
years ago the plans called for an apart

ond noor had been reached the plans
were changed and it was completed a
business building.
Wilks Building Spoken Of as London
Tho Wilks Building, which stood for
many years at the corner of Wall and
Broad streets, and the Mortimer Build
Ing, at Wall and New streets, were
razed during the year to permit the
extension Of the Stock Exchange, which
has become inadequate to the demands
OF current business. They were bust
ness as we'll as physical landmarks of
Wal! Street. In old Wall Street days
the Wilks Building was referred to as
London" because many leading finan-
cial CONCERNS or institutions of Eng
land had established American head
quarters there. A firm located there
would be spoken Of as being in "I.onr
don." In later years tho tenantry was
not SO decidedly British.
Broad Street lost many structures
around which was interesting financial
history.
The Knickerbocker Hotel, at Broad

Up the street stood the Stevens

Of being patronizcd by folks who have

Manifestly. by relieving this best of

what we cannot get without this re-
lief There have been introduced in
Congress and the New York State Leg

be removed. | have no doubt the re-
ply to this or any proposal for relief
from taxation will be that the govern

brought about largely by housing
shortage. Such persons are doubiy
hurt, for besides the income taxes q
large proportion pay they must also
pay excessive rents and must continue
so to do until there Is housing in
plenty. This is one of the greatest
breeders of discomfort. 1t hits the
masses and the persons of moderate
incomes and especially those of fixed
incomes-they are helpless, with in
come stationary or diminishing and
outgo increasing
1--WE must bring this need clearly
and strongly before our legislators,
both Federal and state; it should be
urged in season and out Of season. 1t
is the duty Of all real estate men and,
builders, and, in fact, every man and
woman who must live in rented
quarters. to push this campaign. We
must say to Congress- that there is
vastly more need for tax exemption on
city mortgages for housing Of urban
population than there is for exemption
Of farm loan bonds"
