HOME BUILDING BooMS
UNDER TAX EXEMPTIONS

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-The tremen-
dous jump in building which has taken
place under the tax exemption laws is
shown by figures which have just been
compiled by the y. w. Dodge Com
Dany, proving that in the first eight
months of 1921 contracts have been
let for almost double the amount Of
housing construction that made up the
city's 1920 operations.
Up to September 10, there had been
let in the city contracts for home build
ings with a capacity OF 1885, 500
square feet. costing s126,6S5,08o, as
against l4,542, 900 square feet built in
1920 at a cost Of $77.650. 900. In the
eight months contracts were let for
$50 apartment houses, as against 402
such structures put up in 1920. In
addition to these there have been erect
cd or are now I'm process OF erection
4.613 small dwellings which are TO
cost $42. 900. 900.
The F.. W. Dodge Company esti-
mates that the construction under way
to date will house 1900 families.
which means that building Is practi-
cally back to what was regarded as
normal before the war. In 1920 pro-
vision was made for but 5000 families.

rector of the corporation about two
weeks, and from what I can learn
doubt whether he has ever seen this
extraordinary prospectus or knows any
thing about the real business of the
corporation.
Gen. Newton's main connection with
the corporation seems to be that OF
counsel, which involves examining titles
and performing the ordinary and legiti-
mate work of the corporation, about
which there can be no criticism.
The prospectus and transactions of
the corporation were put in evidence,
not on account of the connection of
these gentlemen but Notwithstanding
that connection, In common with like
testimony introduced in New York city
in order to show the handicaps OF the
existing loan market to building opera
tions.
Il do not regard the practices in which
the corporation INDUCES as proper or
legitimate although there is nothing dis
tinctly unlawful about them. At time
when the supplying of houses for the
masses of our people has become the
most serious problem of the day it was
wrong to launch a corporation such as
this. with highly respectable board OF
directors. to prey upon the public need
by exactins exorbitant interest and
bonuses. but there Is no evidence to show
that Senator Wadsworth or Attorney
General Newton profited by these prac-
tees

clared that he had invested in the

the company's practice OF demanding a

tor of the corporation he had written his

plies. sale Of which amounted to millions.
After he got out 1t was announced the
city was going to save the $500 salary
attached to the post and that there
would be no deputy named.
Shortly afterward that vacancy was
discovered as a place which Warren
Hubbard could have and he was ap-
pointed in October. 1920. and has been
there since. The Mayor was asked to
explain this sudden shift of attitude
toward the Tammany leader, but all he
ever would say was that it was per
sonal appointment" The legislative
committee will inquire what service Hub
bard has been giving the city and how
much time he has spent earning his
salary.
There are now three Deputies. One
Of the first recommendations the COM
mittee may make will be the abolition
of at least two of the Deputy Commits
sionerships.
Members of the committee are look
ing for a lively session this afternoon
when Police Commissioner Enright APP
pears at 2 o'clock In answer to sub
p9na to explain why his department re-
fuses to give the State investigators rec
ords dealing with police finances trans
fers and promotions of policemen and
officials and other activities of the de-
partment. 1t is presumed that in tack
ling promotions and demotions the State
investigators are seeking to show that
Tammany still has a voice in affairs at
Police Headquarters.
IL Commissioner Enright refuses to
testify. as it is believed he may. the COM
mittee Is prepared to proceed against
him for contempt, as was done when
Deputy Commissioner Leach challenged
the right Of subcommittee to question
him behind closed doors.
The Appellate Division will meet on
June 29 and will then hear an appeal by
the legislative committee in the Leach
contempt proceedings. Mr.. Leach has
been upheld in the Supreme Court. Fol-
lowing the precedent set by the Leach
case and relying on Justice Whitaker's s
decision upholding the Deputy Commits
sioner it is believed Mr.. Enright will
take similar stand.
In that event the committee will be
able to make little headway in its in
quiry into police affairs until the higher
court rules or the entire committee meets
in formal and open session. Elon X.
Brown will examine Mr.. Enright.
