MAYOR SCORES.
FOES ON CITY
Tenement LAW
Would Publish Names OF
Landlords Violating
Housing Laws

NEW YORK, Jan. 13-Iar-
lem smiled with a renewed
vigor Friday evening when
Mayor La Guardia openly at
tackled landlords and public
institutions that own and con,ro.
the many apartments in Harlem that
are described as nothing but fire
traps. Citing the fatal fire in lower
Harlem as further evidence Of the
need for improving the safety and
living conditions OF dwellings no;
only in Harlem. but throughout the
city. the mayor sharply criticized
tenant owners and mortgages who
have failed to cooperate in the city's
program for improvement OF Stun
dwellings Speaking at the 4Oth an
niversary Of the housing committee
ofof the Charity Organization So
ciety in the Hotel Commodore. the
mayor said that the three savings
banks had successfully contested the
Prior Lien Law, which authorized
the city 10 repair tenants so tina,
they would comply with the Multi
pie Dwelling Law and charge the
cxpenscs to the owuerg and n1rt=
cages.

Harlem Houses Cited
The mayor pointed out the Har-
lem River Houses and several other
project apartments as an Example OF
efficient buildings which was ac-
complished after much bargaining
on the part of the city. You should
see those children now" he said,
and you would hardly recognize
them. Little do many of US realize
the great changes in our children
that can be brought about as
result OF good housing Clean and
sanitary living conditions are one
OF the main factors that aid in pro-
ducing better citizens of our chill
drer,"
The mayor explained why the
city hadn't progressed faster in
their housing program. He said that
there is no place for them TO move
il they are evacuated from old ten
ant houses He stated that he would
ask the state legislature TO amend
the law to require and permit the
city to publish list of all the land
lords guilty Of failing to comply
with the law and poststhese names
in public places where all could see
and know the folks who are re-
sponsibie for such inhuman acts 10
their fellow brethren" AS far back
in his public career as he could
recall the mayor said that progress

been opposed by constitution law
years more interested in protecting
their own interests than human
lives Enough money is on hand"
he said, from the occupancy tax
to guarantee interest on Sl0,000000
project, but asked aid in obtaining
passage Of a slight amendment to
the occupancy tax measure which
would permit US 10 use this money
for amortization as well as inter-
est. The banks ask that and I'm
ContE uing he Stated that a Fed
eFal hoGsiag loan to this city is now
pending in Washington and he will
know the verdict in few days.
Lawrence Orion, member OF the
City Planning Commission, said that
the next forty years would be one
Of housing reconstruction in which
the city's slums slowly disappear. In
Harlem public opinion was divided
about the mayors speech. His
followers said that in the past the
mayor has always kept his word
and that in the past he has proven
himself friend of Harlem. After
all one OF his supporters stated he
is only one man and this is demo-
cratic country He can only advise
the city and state governments. not
make the laws. Those not entirely
against him, but slightly optimistic
in their views said that such speech
es are common after such public
disasters and action speaks louder
than words. But nevertheless no
matter how public opinion stands,
the mayor is going ahead with his
plans.

.12 CITIES SHOW
 BUILDING GAINS
Waterbury Included in List of Communities
 Reporting Increases

Althugh substantially less in vol- tune than those of the preceding month, building permits issued by cities and towns in Connecticut dur ing the month of June nevertheless remained at markedly high fig ure, 1t is shown in the monthly building survey taken by the De- partment of Sales and Traffic De- velopment of the New Haven Rail- road and made public today by w.. J. Landon, sales and service agent.
 Total value of the permits grant, ed by the 26 municipalities listed in the railroads survey for June was $3,4l5,871, which was more than | $l ,O00, 900 less than the total for the same communities in May but which was closely comparable to their fig- ure for April. Reason for the large decrease as compared with May is that that month was an abnormal one, the building figures for which were swollen to boom proportions by extraordinary gains in four municipalities and particularly by a $9o0,000 permit granted by New Haven for construction of its new sewage disposal plant.
 As compared with June, 1898, the permit total for last month showed a gain of $680,556.
 The June list was headed by West Hartford with permits valued at $502,7O7, while Danbury and Hart ford were in second and third plac- es respectively. None of these three was among the leaders in the pre- ceding month.
 Twelve of the 26 cities and towns reported building permit gains in June as compared with May figures. These were Danbury, Derby, Fair field. Hamden, Hartford, Nauga- tuck, New Britain, New London, Stratford, Waterbury, West Hart ford and West Haven.
 Fifteen of the 26 enjoyed increas- es in June over their totals for the corresponding month of 1888. These were Bristol, Danbury, East Hart ford, Fairfield, Hamden, Hartford, Manchester, New Britain, Norwich, South Norwalk, Stamford, Stratford, West Hartford, West Haven and Willimantic.
