TAX EXEMPTION IS
SHOWN AS AN AID
TO HOME BUILDING
Plans Indicate an Increase
of 81 Per Cent. Over Num-.
Der a Year Ago.
HELPS 1876 FAMILIES
Ordinance Is Expected to
Bring Boom i'll Construc-
ton Work.
MAY BRING RENT RELIEF
Borough President Appeals
for Funds to Help Those Who
Want to Own House.
MAY BRING RENT RELIEF

Since the enactment. February 20. OF
the housing tax exemption ordinance
construction OF homes in all five bor-
oughs has shown a big increase, due
directly to the advantages offered build
ers under the new ordinance, accord
ing to statement yesterday Of Henry
II. Curran, Borough President of Man
tan, sponsor of the ordinance. Figures
gathered by Mr.. Curran show that in the
period since February % the fling OF
building plans exhibit an increase OF
more than 81 per cent. over the figures
for the corresponding period of last year.
The Borough President also made an
appeal for funds to help those who
would take advantage of the ordinance
and build o home, asserting that no
finer public service could be given now
than extending prompt and generous aid
for the construction OF new homes.
Figures for the two weeks from
February rs to March IL show that a
home building boom is under way" said
Mr.. Curran Back in 1920, this particu-
lar two weeks period produced plans
for homes for 666 families. In 1921,
however, the same two weeks have pro-
duced plans of homes for 1.076 families,
an increase of 40 families. or 61la per
cent. OF the 1,076 families who will
live In these new homes, 70s will be
housed In one and two family houses,
az against 36S in tenement houses. Apart
from the increase in the number OF
homes, the fact that nearly two-thirds
OF them are likely to house those who
own their own little homes is particu-
larly satisfactory result Of the tax ex-
emption ordinance. In addition, 1t APP
pears that almost every one OF these
thousand homes will cost in the neigh
borhood OF only $4,000. which Is the
maximum exemption from taxes allowed
by the ordinance
TT must also be remembered that
things in the building line take time TO
move Plans Of construction financial
arrangements. including the choice and
purchase of a suitable site, cannot be
made In day or week. These splendid
agures are only the first sign OF great
5 building boom in the erection of homes.
II this continues as II has begun, and
believe 1t will, the people or small
means who must live and work in New
York city, will eventually find rent re-
lief.

WOMAN SHOT WHEN
SIX HOLD UP SALOON
so Gamblers Plunge Through
Windows in Rear Room Dur
ing Excitement.

Between fifty and sixty men who are
said by the police to have been shooting
craps and playing cards in the back
room Of the saloon of Benjamin Mathu-
lex in 400 North Third street East New
ark. n. J.. jumped from the windows In
their efforts to escape yesterday morning
when six masked men held up Mathulek,
his wife and three customers in the bar
room. Mathulel< and his wife tried TO
fight the bandits, who fired three shots,
one Of which, struck Mrs. Mathulek in the
abdomen and seriously wounded her.
The police of East Newark believe that
the bandits intended to hold up the crap
game. but that they entered the wrong
door and got into the barroom instead.
But at the sound of the first shot fired
by the bandits the men in the back room
apparently thought the police had come
for them, and they abandoned their game
and bent their energies toward getting
out. Limousines and touring cars were
parked along the curbing outside the
place, some of the gamblers having come
from Newark and New York. and within
few minutes after the bandits began
shooting the cars were plunging in all
directions at top speed
The gamblers went head first and feet
first through the windows, smashing
every pane of glass in the back room,
and wrecking the chairs and furniture
in their eagerness to reach the open
air None OF these men were hurt, so
far as could be ascertained, and none
OF them saw the bandits. who also
escaped in an automobile.
Mathulek told the police that the six
men came into the saloon and demanded
money, and that he told them he had
no money. The leader of the band said
he would look in the cash register, and
started behind the bar. But Mathulek
started toward him, and the bandit fired
twice, both bullets striking the mirror
behind the bar. Mrs. Mathulek also
started toward him, and the bandit fired
point blank at her when she was no
more than three feet away, the bullet
striking her in the abdomen. The BAN
dts then ran from the saloon without
stealing anything. Mrs. Mathulek was
taken to st. Michaers Hospital in New
ark.
