fumes, descended into the pit which was free from them, to look through the glass and see if more gasoline were needed. There was a break in the glass, and through it came almost unnoticeable fumes. He then under took to repair the leak, disregardins the warning that had been given him, and was overcome. He was missed, and was later found dead. a piece of the substance with which he had in- tended to repair the leak still in his hand, showing that death or suftoca- ton came actually before he was con scious that he was being affected by the fatal fumes.
 Tn illustration is given in the hope that care will be taken, always, to run no risk Of death by allowing the en- zine of an automobile to run any length of time in q tightly closed gar age. Enough poison has been general ed in five minutes or less, one expert says, to kill a man.

PRACTICAL CASE

On upper Fifth Avenue. New York, there is d section upon which have been built private dwellings of pre- ;entious types" It was the wish of owners of property in that locality that no apartment houses be built there to change the character Of the section. There existed a zoning ordinance limiting the height of buildings there to 15o feet. Were this limit To be allowed 10 remain, tall apartment houses, not desired by many Of the residents Of that locat- ty. might be put up, So there Was an amendment made to the zoning ordi- nance, limiting the height Of building 10 75 feet,
 An investor desired then to build an apartment house which, in order to be a profitable investment, must be more than the limit fixed by the amendment The investor attacked the legality Of the amendment, alleging that it was not passed toy unanimous vote oi the Board of Estimate requir- cd under certain circumstances which are unimportant in this comment. The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court Of New York sustained the claim of the investor. The amendment limiting the height of the buildings 10 75 feet was hold void. The old ordi. nance, of course, fixing the limit at i5o feet remains. binding. But this would allow the erection of the apart ment house. to which there is ohicc- tioH raised. Unless action is taken the wishes or the obicctors will he disrcgarded
 The case Is cited and tho facts given la order to show the situation which calls for comment from the New York crimes" This comment, quoted below, dlseIoscs an appreciation of the value, ip New York property owners, of the zouing system.
 ''Tha decision" says tho newspaper, referring to the technical decision which would destroy the value Of the limiting amendment, "docs not ques- tion the wisdom Of the proposed amendment tlimitinE the height of buildings to 75 feetl in further rec strlction Of the height of buildings in that area. II simply passes upon the technical validity Of the action of the Board Of Estimate It would seem that there should be a new notice and a new consideration Of the original pro- posal on it's merits. No narrow judi cial decision should be made use or in order to break down or impair the zoning ordinance"
 Thus The ''Times' takes pains to concern itself with upholding the zoning ordinances as invaluable to the city of New York and it's people.

Both the police board and the charity board. for instance, are com posed of members appointed by the mayor. The mayor and common coun- cil are linked together by the authori- ties, as distinguished from the state. Thus the charity board and the police board are. in sense. in the same cIass-they derive tkeir authority from the mayor and common council, if the two be considered as the muni- cipal governing power.
 But the charity board, like the school board whose members are elected by the people, stands out above all other boards as having juris- diction over matters which are of especial concern to the state. The school board has great powers to see that provision is made for proper ed ucation of children; the charity board has great powers because of it's duty Au AAlf hlli ot luildifiS. l llt SAdlf 10 tdNh of both boards, broadly speaking, be- cause of the fact that matters of cd ucation and the care of the states un- fortunates are ones in which the state is given paramount interest. Broad powers are held by the board of charities nnder Section 9, Chapter ANllI of the charter giving the board general superintendency, manage ment and control of the affairs of the city relative to poor persons, insane persons and imbeciles' which power is limited by the provision of the charter that the common council shall have power to make such orders as it may see fit regarding the "es- tabishment, care and maintenance of libraries, hospitals and similar insti- tutions and sppropriating or obtaining money therefor"
 In determining what the various boards of the city may de or may not do there must be borne in mind the distinction, made in tho charter, between doing some act that is given the board to do and the making rules which will limit the scope Of the acts that may be done. An$ must be remembered, too that the common council and the mayor constitute a supervisory power the spirit of which is seen in all the charter provisions, A refusal by the common council to care for the wards of the state. or 10 provide adequate schooling fscili- ties. would give the school board and the charity board the right to proceed on their own initiative.

OPEN YOIR GAEAGE

Each year about this time, it is necessary to emphasize the danger that may result from letting an automobile engine run in closed garage. es- pecially If the garage is small one. The state department of health calls attention 10 this fact in warning which states that several deaths haze been reported during the past f~w winters caused by tho exhaust gases Of automobile engines.
 The warning symptoms that per son usually feels as Inc is being over come by gas. are pressure and throb- bing of the head. headache, nausea. blurred eyesight. tarobJing in the ears, a general weakness in the legs Tho thing to do when such symptoms are noticed is moi to fry to open win dows or doors but to gst out into the open air just as quickly as one Is able.
 TO emphasize thts warning. if crn- pHasis is necessary. attention is called to the sad ease Of death from this cause noted in the news columns yes terday. Monozide gas fumes from the exhaust Of his automobile engine caused the death Of man in New Haven day before yesterday. His body z.as found in the garage in the rear Of his house. All the doors to the garage Herc closed.
 The power Of poisonous gases IS foo little realized. In tbe days when private gas plants were used in IocaIi- tics where there was no gas. barrels Of gasoline were emptied into a con- tainer and from the resultant gas the buildings were lighted. In these oId- fashioned plants thert were openings --or an openiHs-covered by is5n- glass through which sue might look to see how much gasoline remained in the tank. On enc orcasion 4 man had been warned 0l the daEse- Ol the

POWERS or BOARDS

If was to be expected that the &C., ton of the police board in claiming independence Of the common council would suggest the same action by other boards. Now the charity board more than intimates that it has the power to let the contract for the building Of the new structure at the town farm to whatever concern it secs ii. The opinion of the corporation counsel on the question may be asked.
 The police board claims. according to informal discussion. that as mat Ter Of fact it gets ifs power from the state. subject to the right of the com- mon council, as stated iE the charter 10 make any rules and regulations for fhe establishment or maintenance of the police department that uia make the department more efficient. No one disputes the boards power t0 do the act of appointing Or removing officers o4 Jf punishine them. There is the claim. however. that tbe right 10 make appointments Is subject to any rules the common council may see Ct to adopt which it the common coun- cii. considers would increase the er- fcitHcy os the department. ThOse making this claim urge that the mat ter of the age of policemen is es- sentially one ot efficiency of the de- pertinent and therefor the power Of appointment admittedly resting with the police board, is limited by this rule. also admitted ts Be posse ssed by the council. to make rules to increase the efficiency. The power of appoint ment. in other words. is an entirely separate one from that Of making rules. and the police board has. Of course. the power to make other rules regarding the r.,1agement Of the Ie- partment.

MORE HOMES CONC LIP

Every time the reports Of building permits show more homes being planned there comes the feeling Of qualification 10 everyone interested in the city. Tho latest report shows that permits have just been issued for eight more of these.
 No matter how possimistlc one may he, the admission must be made that every new house going tip is an cN- precision Of somebody's confidence in this city so strong that such builder is willing to back up his conviction with his money. The cost of labor and building material al present brings no nducement 10 build. The expression of confidence. therefore, is all the more convincing. Moreover those who build homes arc apt to be "canny" persons, in ihe best sense or the word. They would rent their places rather than build homes, if they did not be- lieyo property would enhance in value here. 1T they are building for invest ment. they must believe that tho de- mand for homes is going to he a con- tinuing one.
 Perhaps one Of the most common remarks heard when homes" is the subject of discussion, is "I could have built and paid for house long ago with the money have spent in rent" There are hundreds of people in this city saying that today. The ones who are budding homes now are placing themselves in a position 10 free thcm- selves from that regret
