Says Our Architecture
Is Ahead Of England S

"HAT American architecture Is
leading and is superior to that
- OF England and France is the
opinion Of Frederic Culver, a prominent
New York lawyer, who recently returned
from an extended trip through England.
Mr.. Culver. who is interested and is
taking an active part in community
housing in the United States, made the
trip primarily to acquaint himself with
the type of community houses-the much
heralded Lloyd George houses-being
erected In England.
MANY people will. no doubt. be sur
prised to learn that there Is no housing
shortage In England" Mr.. Culver de-
clsred. what there Is Is a shortage of
houses that the people--and by people !
refer to the great middle class. mechan-
les. artisans, peasants. &c.-want to live
in.
Before the war :he English peasart
was content to live in his small cot
tage. with its thatched roof and country
picturesqueness. But during the war
so much had been promised him that
when he returned he demanded new
houses. He wanted TO enjoy modern i'm
provements and conveniences, such as
plumbing with hot and cold water, cleo
trio light and others.
The result was that the Government
had to satisfy the demands OF the peo.
pie and built from seventy to one hun
dred thousand houses OF this type. And
would point to these houses to sub
stantiate my. assertion that American
architecture is superior in every way
TO that of England and that the latter
Is on the down grade. The houses arc

the cause Of il all is that England IS
giving up its tradition in this respect and
adopting what il Is pleased to call
modern architecture.

new ones Of the modern type has been
aggravated by the economic plight the
large landowners find themselves In.
The taxes that the Government has
placed on the owners OF large tracts OF
land and estates has made Il impossible
for them to retain them and at tho same
time meet these taxes. This means that
the large land owner Is unable to make
any improvements on the land. and the
farmer and peasant arc therefore forced
TO meet this expense out of their own
pockets. All OF which has added to their
discomfort and unhappiness.
And in speaking OF large estates, IL

its aftermath have affected even the

SAYS ASSESSMENT
LIST is TOO HIGH
Realty Board Insists Reduc-
ti0ns Must Be Made or Court
Actions Invoked.

The Real Estate Board OF New York
for 1923, opened for public inspection on
October /, says:
"ReaI estate interests expected an in
creased assessment, although not as
great as it turned out to be. II is true
that 29,359 new buildings were erected.
at cost OF $3.50. ,015, but many old
buildings had been demolished and a
great deal Of valuable land, including
waterfronts, had been taken for city
purposes.
auction sales of lots in the outlying
boroughs had brought prices less than
assessed values. and the high values
placed by the Department of Taxes and
Assessments in 1920-21, based on es.i-
mated replacement costs. should have
been reduced.
THE cost OF building is at least 10
per cent less than in 1920 and this
should have been reflected in the as
sessed valuations OF improved property.
The success OF the suit In certiorari by
the Equitable Building Corporation and
others indicates the opinions Of the
courts on this question.
"The Real Estate Board in recent
statement estimated -s2Oo.0o0.oo0 as the
probable increase. or total assessment
roll Of about sl0,o23.494,720 for all
kinds OF real property.
"The assessment of S1o,466.121.527 IL
too high and very large reduction must
be made by the Commissioners during
the hearings on protests or reductions
will be made by the courts through
writs OF certiorari.
'The attention Of property owners is
called to the advisability of examining
the assessment rolls and ascertaining
the values placed on their holdings. Pro-
tests and requests to obtain hearing
must be filed before November 10. A
personal hearing should be requested
and at the hearing the evidence pre-
sented should. be such as would be ac-
cepted in a court. The evidence offered
the Commissioners is that upon which
a writ OF certiorari could be based.

TO STANDARDIZE
FEDERAL LEASES
Government to Consult With

At a meeting OF the officers OF the
National Association of Building Owners
and Managers held last August the first
vlce-president, Lee T. Smith. a member
OF the executive committee OF the
Building Managers and Owners Associa-
tion of New York, was directed TO con-
suit with Col. C. F. Won dem Bussche.

Estate Board at Washington. with the
view iof determining a satisfactory
method whereby cooperation could be
established between the Federal Board
and the national association which might
lead to the adoption of a standard lease
form for the Government TO use in the
renting of property
For some time the present lease form
has been unsatisfactory and has worked
to the disadvantage OF both the owner
and the Government. the cancellation
clause and the one year period being

This organization has been formed

dent appointed a chief coordinator and
charged him, under the direction of che
Bureau or the Budget. with the response
bifity OF representing him in the applica-
tion OF uniform business principles and
methods applying to the expenditures of
public funds. Under the chief coordi-
nator was established coordinating
boards relating to certain specihc busi-
ness activities OF the Government Among
tho appointed boards are the Tntcrde-
partmental Boards Of Contracts and Ad-
justments and the Federal Real Estate
Board.
The former will standardize forms
and methods OF contract letting with the
view OF fostering economy. promptness
and the reduction of hazards TO be as
