MAYOR READY
|. FOR APPEAL
IF OUSTED
Lawyers Many Exceptions
Believed to Indicate Long
Controversy in Court

ALBANY, Aug. % GN.S.).
"Jimmie' Walker hotly con-
tested battle with Samuel Sea-
bury against removal as mayor
of New York city entered its
final stages with an important
Jourt decision to be rendered
fate today.
Governor Roosevelt announced
today that the Walker hearing,
scheduled to have been resumed
at 8 o'clock tonight, will be post
, poned because of the, death OF
George Walker, the mayors
brother, at Saranac Lake. He
said the hearing would be post
poned until after the funeral.
Defers to Walker
Before making this announce
ment, the governor communicated
by telephone with John j. Curtin,
the mayors chief counsel, to learn
the mayors wishes with respect to
the removal proceedings.
Justice Staley said his ruling on
the petition asking that Roose-
welt be restrained from removing
Walker as mayor, would be an
nounced at 6 o'clock this evening.
He put the finishing touches on
the decision over the weekend.
Arguments on the petition were
heard last Monday, counsel for
Walker contending that Governor
Roosevelt has no legal or conStitu-
tional authority to remove the
mayor and should even be re-
strained from continuing the
custer proceedings.
Governor Roosevelt is eager to
wind up the case so he can con-
centrate on his own battle for the
presidency.
Appeal Is Expected
Should Justice Stsley rule adj
NSISC4y OIl MdyO1 w dAhC4 . PCGA-
ton, indications are Walker will
appeal to the Appellate Division,
and, meeting a reverse there, to
the Court of Appeals. There is
some talk that Walker may carry
the fight to the United States
Supreme Court.
Curtin's steady flow of OBJ
jections to rulings by Governor
Roosevelt is regarded as being
for the purpose of the record,
so these objections can be cited
as basis for argument in appeals
to higher courts.
Governor RooSevelt'S friends
praise the manner in which he
has conducted the hearing. They
point out that, regardless Of his
many rulings against Walker,
he has shown every disposition
to allow the mayor to bring out
all the pertinent facts bearing
upon Seabury's charges.

PRIVATE BUILDING

Survey DiscIoses.

The private building business nation
ally continues at low level, but read
justments are beginning to put the in
dustry in a far better position to go
ahead than was the case a year ago,
according to an analysis by Bradstreets.
The cost of construction, after long
decline, appears to be becoming sta
bilized. according to the indiceS of the
Federal Reserve system and the Engi-
neering News Record.
New Projects Possible,
Both wages and cost Of materials
have been lowered substantially, but
now appear to be settled enough to en-
courage new projects, providing, of
course. sufficient demand makes such
work feasible, the statement points out.
This all-important factor depends
largely on the course of general buSi-
ness. it adds.
Building permit values for the first
10 months Of this year show drop of
GIL per cent below the level for the
corresponding period of last year, the
Bradstreet study shows.
New Code Adopted.
Adoption of a new building code in
New York City is expected to stimulate
building there. Further aids to the in
Gustry NAV core from. the proposals
for the removal of sluns. through loans
of the Reconstruction Finance Corpo-
ration.
Apparently there is little possibility
that building wi lead other businesses
upward, as it cid in the 1921 depression
except as activity may be provided
for in a public works program" the

THE home of each growing child" he
writes, should be free from conditions
which iniure health or impair safety,
should be free from sources of irrita-
ton and i'll will. and should instead
provide the inspiration which attractive
surroundings and wholesome co-opera-
tive family life may offer"

mittee members Throughout the coun-

program More than 5000 communities

The care of children is the chief
responsibility and privilege Of parents, >"
DR.. Wilbur writes. One of the major
means to this end lies in the provision
for all children of homes that are safe,
sanitary and convenient. But beyond
this lies the necessity of providing for
beauty in the surroundings of the child
for privacy, for wholesomeness in fam
lily life and for cooperation in family
activities and family aspiration through
which may be developed qualities Of
vision, nobility and service.
THE ideals of the growing child are
fashioned primarily by daily influences.
If those influences are unWholesome it
is difficult for the victorious spirit to
emerge and produce a fine life regard
less Of circumstances. The home of
each growing child shoud, therefore,
be free from conditions which injure
health or impair safety, should be free
from sources of irritation and Ill will,
and should instead provide the inepira-
ton which attractive surroundings and
wholesome cooperative family life may
afford.
