H I

man. and a man named Gillette.
Uncle George Russell is one of its
advertisers. and Uncle George tells
the world that he is a contractor and
builder, whom it would be well to see

the General Marshal's staff for the
Grant Memorial Dedication Day exer

the day had been made a legal holiday
in the state of New York.
The return of Hon. Geo. T. Becl
was the signal to start work upon the
Cody canal. Many settlers had con
tracted for land under the ditch and
the promoters were confident thai
more than 10000 acres would be dis
posed of to prosperous and enterpris
ing settlers before the year closed.
Cody was DON to have a large mer
camille store and also a hardware and
implement house. The city was bound
to flourish and make the best town In

Killing Zoning Law,
Realtors Assert
Charge Borough Presidents
Favor Property Changes
Without the Consent of
Majority of Residents

The value of the real estate coming
resolution will be wiped out II the
city authorities continue to add amend
merits, according to a statement issued
yesterday by the Real Estate Board of
New York The statement says:
"The advocates of the building zone
resolution passed by the Board of Es-
innate in 1916. gave as a certain result
Of its adoption the stabilization of
property. values because Of the per-
manency in the character of occupa-
tion. The resolution stated there
would be no changes in zone areas un-
less petitioned for by more than so
per cent of the owners of frontage on
streets affected by the proposed change
or by proceeding initiated by the
Board of Estimate for the general good
of the entire community.
Recently the entire policy of the
city has changed. BY resolution of
the Board of Estimate, the Board of
Appeals was authorized to make
changes within city block where such
changes were justified. The calendar
for the Board of Estimate of July II
showed applications for sixty changes
contained thirty applications. Some
of these applications were of the most
radical character and, while the Board
turned down the most radical ones,
they we're favored in each instance by
the borough presidents.
1.-THE position of the Real Estate
Board has always been that no zoning
change should be made unless desired
by majority of the property owners
affected, and then only for the public
good"

People Being plundered by
Interlocking Gas and Oil
Interests. He Declares

Mayor Hylan asked Corporation Coun-
eel o'Brien yesterday to place before
the Committee on Manufactures of the
United States Senate, which is now
conducting an investigation of the
question OF monopoly with respect to
The prices OF petroleum products, in
cluding gas oil, ali the records and
data of the gas rate cases in which
this city has been interested during
the last four years. Senator La Toilette
introduced the resolution for the in
vestigation in the Senate.
"The City of New York is vitally
concerned in this senatorial investiga-
tion," the Mayor said in his letter to
Mr. o'Brien. "An opportunity is pre-
sented for doing a splendid service to
the gas consumers of this city who
have been patiently waiting for over
year for Chairman Prendergast and
his colleagues on Governor Miller's
Public Service Commission TO reduce
the price Of gas to 80 cents or less.
Says Interests interlock
"As the price of gas oil is the most
important factor entering into the cost
of making gas and it was this element
of cost mainly that enabled the gas
companies to have the S0-cent gas
statute set aside, / hereby direct you
TO place Immediately before Senator La
Toilette and the members of the Com
mittee on Manufactures all the records
and data collated in the gas rate cases
in which this city has been involved
New-York tribune., 1922-07-23

during the past four years. Make par
ticulae mention of the following dis
closures brought oIt in these litiga-
tions:
That the price paid by the gas COM
panies to the oil monopoly was unfair
and unreasonable and, further, that
the purchases were made from mo-
nopoly closely related to the gas in
teresSs.
THAT Rockefeller, who was a domi-
nant party in the control of the Stand
ard Oil Company of New Jersey, was
also member OF the executive COM
mittee of the Consolidated Gas Com
pany, which buys all its gas oil from
the former company.
THAT the Standard Oil Company's
domination over the price of gas oil
enabled the Consolidated Gas Com
pany to assail successfully the S0-ccnt
gas statute of this state.
"That intimate relations existed be-
tween the Brooklyn Union Gas Com
pany and the Standard Oil Company,
and
THAT there are governmental rec
ords showing variation In the price
charged by the Standard Oil Company
for gas oil exported and the price
charged during the same period for
gas oil to the gas companies with
which it is afTiliated.
People Being "Plundered''
"If the interlocking of gas compa-
nies and oil companies is to be per-
mitted to go on without check or him
drance. upon the part of the state and
Federal officials, the plundering of the
people through extortionate prices for
such commodities as gas will continue
unabated. See to it that Senator La
Toilette and the Committee on Manu-
factures are aided in every possible
way, to the end that the stronghold of
these combinations upon the gas busi-
ness of the City of New York may be
effectively controlled, if not entirely
broken, and that the price of gas may
be reduced to charge that is fair
and which will represent common JUS
tce to the millions of consumers"
