Zoning Laws Gradually
Are Being Strengthened

1920. The small number for 1916 was
due to the law being in operation only
Ave months and the possibilities OF
change not being widely understood. In
1917 the peak Of changes was reached.
and In succeeding years only about one
half as many changes were made each
year. 1T would appear from this that
during the last three years the map
changes were fairly proportioned to the
normal growth and change of the city.
Use map changes were 107, area map
ten and height map three. 1t Is quite
possible that as the amount of new
construction increases more changes
proportionally will be made In the area
and height maps.
In 1915 the four changes all relaxed
the restrictions: in 1917 thirty-six ra-
laxed and seven strengthened the re-
strictions in 1918 twenty relaxed and
six strengthened in 1919 thirteen re-
laxed and seven streng gthened; in 1920
twelve relaxed and fifteen strengthened.
In other words. in 1916 there was no
strengthening, In 1917 the strengthening
as compared to relaxation rose TO 10 per
cent. In 1918 to 80 per cent. in 1919 to
"a per cent. and In 1920 to 125 per cent,
when for the first time the strengthening
changes exceeded the relaxing changes.
These figures showing relaxation and
strengthening are most gratifying. They
show not only official support or the
coming system but they show clearly
that property owners are gradually IA
voring the strengthening OF the zoning
requirements rather than their relaxa-
ton.
The building zone system of New York
may be deemed a success Other cities
couraged by the experience OF New York.

THIEVES TAKE SPAIN'S
GOLDEN VOTIVE RELICS
CroWns Of King SUintiia of
Historic Interest.

MADRID, May 21.-The recent theft
from the Royal Arnory OF the two
golden votive crowns OF tho vislgothic
King Swintila deprived Spain or one OF
her greatest treasures since only in the
Cluny Museum of Paris do similar
specimens exist.
Historians suppose that the two crowns
originally were part OF the treasure OF
the old Cathedral OF Toledo before the
present building was constructed. It Is
believed they were taken from the
church when the Arab invasion occurred
and buried in a sepulchre In tho hamlet
OF Guarrarazar in the vicinity of
Toledo, where they were discovered after
six centuries.
Later. when Isabel ii, was on the
throne, two peasant women went to her
and offered to give her the crowns and
other articles which have now been
stolen from the Royal Armory.

Counsel to the Zoning Commission.

Counsel to the Zoniig Commission.
The Greater New York building zone
law has been in operation since July rs.
1916, about four and half years. The
protective requirements are shown on
three maps, known as height area Cor
bulk) and use maps. The charter pro-
vides that changes in the maps can be
made by the Board of Estimate. The
aggregate changes are extremely small
In area, showing the remarkable perma-
nence OF the protection of the coming
system. All the changes made since Its
adoption affect only about 1-3 per cent.
Of the total city area zoned. On ac-
count of war conditions and decrease OF
construction the use map changes are
the greatest. > These arc ne-ninety-
ninth of tho whole area. Area map
changes are three hundred and
thirty-ffth and height map changes are
one one-t -thousandth of the whole area.
In the years 1916 to 1919, inclusive,
ninety three applications for changes
were granted by the Board OF Estimate
and seventy-two were denied. In 1920
twenty-seven were granted and about
the same (the precise number not yet
ascertainable) were denied. These fig
ures tend to show that changes are not
easily obtained. This is as 1t should be,
because when an owner builds accord
ing to the coming requirements he ought
TO be protected against easy changes of
surrounding requirements.
The total map changes since the be-
ginning (1916-1920, both inclusive) have
been 100 There were four in 1916.

LOOKS TO BUILDING
TO HELP BUSINESS
S. w. Straus Says Resumption
of Construction Will Tend,
to Stabilize Conditions.

Notwithstanding the retarding eff
fects of labor difficulties in many places.
building conditions throughout the ma
tion are showing Improvement, and ac-
tivities are on the increase" says S. w.
Straus of S. w. Straus &c Co. ''Residen-
tial types OF structures continue to hold
the lead over all other classes OF new
work, and about one-third of the coun-
try's building programme is devoted to
an increase in housing facilities. 1t is
quite generally felt that the labor diff
flculties that are interfering with build
Ing progress will prove transitory and
that the season will develop increased
construction work.
cit is becoming more apparent that
very active building conditions will have
a remarkably stimulating effect on gen
eral business conditions. There Is no
industry which has so many ramifica-
tio1s and which touches so many varied
trades. A resumption on q large scale
this summer will go far toward bring
Ing back normal conditions of prosperity
TO the American people, for 1t will mean
employment for thousands of men di-
rectly employed in the building trades
tries. 1t will mean an Increased volume
of freight and more work for the steel
foundries. brickyards cement Mills,
the lumber industry and scores OF other
Industries which take the raw materials
of our mines and forests and convert
them into finished products. 1t will also
m san increased business for all lines
of mercantile industry. augmented pay
rolls and an increased demand for food.
clothing and all the other necessities of
life 1t viii mean, also. an increase in
public confidence throughout the coun-
try---a psychological factor which Is just
as necessary to the return of prosperity
as any material or economic one.
"In short. the building industry Is
the key TO the situation We cannot
have general prosperity until We have
great activity In the building industries
and all the various allied and supple
mentary trades.
Evidence IL accumulating that the
more far sighted builders have grasped
the situation and are going ahead. real
izing that now Is the most advantageous
time to build. both from the standpoint
of good business and public policy.
"A great many people enormously
compare building costs to-day with what
they were five or six years ago. ON such
crease. but this does not OF Itself mean
that building prices Will necessarily go
lower. Prices of building materials were
steadily increasing from 1910 to 1915.
and even without the war IL is safe TO
say that building material costs would
have gone mp considerably between 1915
and the present time. In addition 70
this natural increase. there are factors
directly attributable TO the war. includ-
ing Increased freight rates, higher
wages. unusual taxation. Increased cost
OF fuel and monetary initiation.
1T il evident, therefore. that n return
OF building costs to anything Ike the
1915 level is out OF the question. and
every consideration OF prudence and fore
sight unite to give emphasis 20 the argu-
ment that now is the time TO build"
