STRAITS PLACED
in TURK HANDS

Lausanne, Dec. g. (By Asso-
ciated Press .)--The closing of the
Dardanelles to all warships ex-
cept those Of Turkey and giving
Turkey the right to fortify the
straits were advocated by Foreign
Minister Tchitcherin OF Russia al
Mondays meeting OF the confer
ence called to discuss the straits.
Ismet Pasha, leader the Turk
ish delegation, asked for absolute
Turkish control OF the straits,
without demilitarization.
The preliminary exposition of
the question by the representa-
tives Of the great powers had not
been completed when the meeting
was adjourned.
Tchitcherif insisted that Turk
ish sovereignty could be guaran-
teed only by the presence of Turk
ish warship in the straits, while
the warships of other powers
should be prohibited from enter
ing them. He contended also that
Turkey should have authority to
fortify the straits as a means Of
safeguarding her independence
and particularly for the protection
of her capital, Constantinople.

Two Big Savings
Banks of City to
Finance Queens
Bowery and Ernigrant Re-
spond to Cali for Funds
to Assist i'm the Borough's
Building Development

William E. Knox, president OF the
Bowery Savings Bank, and John S.
Daily, comptroller Of the Emigrant Saw
ings Bank, have notified the Queens
Chamber Of Commerce that, their in
stitutions will invest in mortgages on
property in Queens. These announce
ments indicate the broadening Of the
investment field Of these banks, which
hitherto have confined their mortgage
business to Manhattan and the Bronx.
F The change in the policy of these in
stitutions is the result of tour Of the
Borough of Queens, arranged recently
by the chamber and directed by P. A.
Rowley as chairman Of special COM
mittee appointed to direct the tour.
The rapid strides made by the borough
had so impressed the bankers that they
were eager for the opportunity of see
ing Queens.
Mr.. Rowley told the bankers that
Queens had reached point in its prog
ress which necessitgted the assistance
of the great financial institutions of the
city if the borough were to fulfill
all the things that were expected of it.
A wider market for mortgages on
Queens building projects must be
found if the great home building move
ment underway were to continue. Mr..
Rowley told the bankers that this
building movement meant the relief Of
the housing shortage.
The bankers must have been con-
WINGED by what they saw and heard,
Judging by the quick response of two
of the largest savings banks in the
country to assist Queens in her great

to the american Contractor" These
figures establish new record for the
tenth month of the year, and for the
tenth consecutive month.
Numbering 65,170 and totaling in

gain of 81 per cent over the 54,086 per-
mits issued in October, 1921, whose
estimated valuation for the same 3t4
cities totaled $178,222,0S0. In turn the
October permits of Ii st year exceeded
those Of the year before by 81 per cent,
and gave the first indication Of the big
volume of activity which was to break

Limitation Of further exemptions and
drastic reduction i'm the present list
were demanded by the convention. To
check the evil which makes for ine-

upon those who receive no exemption
the real estate men suggest:
81. That every tax district provide
itself with a tax map for the reason
that this affords the only method of
insuring that every parcel within the
district is assessed, and the assessors
work made more easy and accurate in
many ways.
"2. To insure the assessment Of the
property itself rather than the owner
and to provide permanent means Of
Identification on the assessment roll,
the general adoption of the so-cslled
block and lot system, whereby each lot
is identified by number in the block
and section, was recommended.

developed to the stage where distinct

district exists unit prices per front foot
be established for the land assessment.
"a. Where the development of a Sec
tion has become we'll established we
recommend the adopting of building
classification and the application of
cubic foot prices to these classes of

SO. That in cities and incorporated
villages the proposed assessment Of

roll, listing the properties geographic
cally, SO that any taxpayer can read

$lO,OOO,OOO Roosevelt
Hotel Project Under Way
Workers Start Tearing Down
Old Tiffany Studios TO Make
Room for Bic Structure

Demolition Of the Tiffany Studios, at
the northeast corner Of Madison Ave-
nue. and Forty fifth Street, was begun
last week, to make way for the Roose-
welt, S10,000,000 hotel. A year from
next spring the twenty~two-story build
ing, the latest hotel addition to the
hotel community in the Grand Central
section, will be ready.
The hotel will stand on massive steel
legs, between which will run the trains
of the New York Central Railroad in
bound from every section of the coun-
try and Canada. As these legs will be
at least thirty feet high, the massive
structure Of twenty-five stories and an
entire block square will really be
perched on a series OF steel pillars far
above solid ground. The entrances to
the hotel, however, will be even with
the streets of New York, SO that the un-
usual structural arrangement will not
be noticed.
In this elevated structure will be
1,107 rooms and baths, several spacious
restaurants and many private dining
rooms. The street floor will be di-
vided into stores and Offices because of
the demand for retailing space and the
high value of property in the Grand
Central section.
An entrance to the hotel will lead to
the train platforms below the street
level. According TO statements made
by the United Hotels Company of
America it will have many features
which. only a last minute hotel can
have. One feature will be a series Of
rooms which will be reserved for per-
sons who wish to remain overnight
only or for few hours while waiting
for train connections.
When the Roosevelt has been finished
it will be the twentieth hotel built and
controlled by the United Hotels Com
pany Of America. The company is now
erecting building in Paterson, N. j.,
to be known as the Alexander Hamil-
ton, and one in Seattle, Wash, which
will be called the Olympic.
The officers of the company are Frank
A, Dudley, presidents; Frederick w
Rockwell, vice-president, and General
J. Leslie Kincaid, secretary and treas.
urer.
