CITY DEMOLISHED
AND BUILT YEARLY

Every year the equivalent of city
of more than 500 buildings is demol-
ished on Manhattan Island, and every
year new city Of the most imposing
types of construction rises to replace
the demolished city.
This annual disappearance and reap
pearance of a vast city within a city
offers an interesting revelation of the
tremendous forces which constantly
are exerted to provide building facili-
ties for Manhattan. In no city in the
world are such herculean processes Of
demolition and rebuilding at work as
there are within the limited confines
of this island.
According to statistics made public
by s. w. Strauss q Co., from compila-
tions by the building department of the
borough of Manhattan, there were dur
ing the ten-year period, 1913 to 1928, a
total of 3,609 buildings of all types
completed against a total of 5,736 Of
all types demolished. These figures
include 235 one and two family dwell
fngs erected, against 2,242 demolished
and 926 tenements and apartments
erected, against 1883 demolished.
While the figures call attention to
the rapid disappearance Of one and two
family houses in Manhattan it is sig
nificant that these old residences are
seldom replaced with tenemef1ts or
Evening star., 1923-05-26

apartments. They are usually removed
to make room for commercial struc-
lures. 1t is also noticeable that dur
Ing the decade. 3s2 more tenement and
apartment buildings were destroyed
than were erected. This decrease in
the number of residential types Is off,
set by the fact that generally two or
more old tenements or apartments,
housing a few families, are demol-
tshed to make room for one large,
modern building sometimes housing
her hundreds Of families. II two old
buildings, for example. housing twen-
ty-hve families in all give way to one
modern building housing 100 families
the gain in housing space is only for
seventy-fve additional families.
According to the records Of the
Manhattan borough building depart
ment, tenements, apartments and one
and two family houses, providing for
110,549 families, have been erected
since the tax exemption law on resi-
Dental building went into effect. Feb

BEST SAFETY RECORD
OF PUBLISHING FIRMS
ESTABLISHED BYLIGHT
Shows Cooperation Be.
tween Employees and
Management.

Through a program Of cooperation
between management and employees,
the San Antonio Light has established
the highest safety record Of any pub
fishing house in the state of Texas.
Because of this fact, The Light,
through its agent the Aetna Casualty
Company, has received notice of a
material reduction in its premium rate
for employees liability insurance. The
rate accorded The Light is the lowest
Of any publishing house in the state.
The high safety record established
by The Light is attributed to various
causes First there is an active spirit
of cooperation between management
and employees for safety, the employees
of all departments having been brought
together as a safety committee in
their routine work. Alertness natur-
ally engendered in their line of work
also has contributed to the safety
element. ASIDE from the direct
pecuniary benefit from the lower prom
ium, the conditions thus brought about
are a direct incentive to better work,
greater efficiency and minimum labor
costs,

In the last seventeen years, We have

Using appropriation this year is one

which We will spend with news
