Government activities in the hous-
Ing field have served only TO empha-
size the problem rather than solve it,
Msgr. John A. Ryan asserted in a
statement following formal organiza- =
tion OF the National Housing Com
mittee.
Msgr. Ryan WAS elected chairman
OF the committee at a meeting here
Friday when the group set on foot a
long-range program for housing re-
form. Thirty leaders of industy, labor
and civic affairs are members of the
committee, pledged to a campaign to
secure cooperation OF all interests for
better housing.
CharacteriNng the present high cost
Of homes as courageous" Msgr. Ryan
attributed this condition to the part
played by speculative realtors. the
high cost Of financing. wasteful meth
DDS Of construction, and the fads or
fancies of architects
The committee indorsed the Wag-
ner-Steagall housing bill pending in
Congress. The committee member

They are elected in divisions OF the

These mayors really constitute q
city council and select what you might
call a lord mayor. However, the 20
mayors retain certain administrative
duties. It sounds little like our
borough government in New York City
There is chief OF police under each
mayor, and the prefect OF police OF
Paris is the commissioner Also under
each mayor there are separate depart
ments OF government as follows: De-
partment of welfare, employment
agency, commission of police and a

spent some time at the Interna-
tional Exposition. There was very
little to see. as the fair buildings are
yet in course OF construction, although
the fair was supposed to open May l.
The only buildings completed are
those of Russia and Germany. The
United States Building is away from
the center Of the fair ground and is
not completed. It is supposed to be
open on July 4, but no one that I
spoke to believes it can be finished by
that time
MY questioning as to the cause Of
the delay brought forth the reply that
the workmen held back and demanded
that the government make an appro-
priation for some other public work OF
sumcient size to allow them to con-
tinue working when the fair buildings
and grounds are finished. This appar-

their own workmen to Paris to COM
plete their exhibitions just few days
before our arrival. England sent
painters In airplanes to put the finish
ing touches on the British Empire
Building.
1t would take a lot of time and
space to tell what is the matter with
France. 1t can be summed up in a
few words: Excessive taxation, high
cost OF living, government spending
IN excess OF government income. and
government borrowing of money.

he said, could be explained only when

HEARING ON FARES
TO Be RESUMED
Testimony on Transit Firm
Charges May End Before
Saturday.

Testimony by civic spokesnlen over
the fares of the Capital Transit Co.
will be resumed tomorrow before the
Public Utilities Commission, with
prospects the hearings will be con-
cluded before the end of the week.
The decision likely will not be
known, however, until late in July,
since a week or two probably will be
allowed for the filing OF briefs and
since the commission will make a de-
liberate analysis of the record before
reading on judgment on the issues
A continued fight for an expert
ment with scent street car and
bus fare. in lieu of an increase in
the token fare sought by the COM
pany. will be made by William NICK.
Clayton, chairman of the Utilities
Committee of the Federation Of Citi-
Eens' Association.
Clayton said last night he also would
urge restoration of the 81 weekly
street car pass, abandoned IN jan
uary by the company. Despite a split
IN the ranks of civic organization wit
nesses over the fare controversy, Clay
ton said he had made no change in
his planned program. He will call
about nine more witnesses when the
hearings are resumed at 10 am. to-
morrow.
The May report of the transit COM
pany, filed yesterday with the COM
mission, gave rise to new conjecture
over the prospects Of the company
for the year on its present rates. The
estimates OF the company and the
commission experts have differed
sharply. The new report showed the
operating income for last month was
&l6,964 over that for May OF last
year, an increase OF 10 per cent; and
that the operating income for the
first FIVE months OF 1887 had in
creased by sll4,543 over the cor
responding period of 1886, or BY 4s
per cent.
