LegislaturesDuty, toNameA Fuel Head

Real Estate Board Say»War-Time Plan ShouldBe Adopted to RelievePresent Coal ShortageIt is the duty of the Legislature,

when it meets in special session toconsider the coal question tG-morro***"right, to authorize the Governor toappoint a fuel commissioner or com¬mission with ample and drastic power«to make and enforce the Ram* or simi¬lar regulations for toe conservationof fuel that prevailed during the war,says the Real Estate Board of NewYork, in a statement issued yester¬day. Suggestions as tc what step«should be taken are also advanced.

There Rhould be no unnecessary lightor heat, and public utility companiesshould be given preference in the allot¬ment of fuel, the report specifies. Asufficient allowance, it add", should atall times be made to gas and electriccurent companies to enable them tofunction to full capacity. Laws orordinances which would prevent theuse of bituminous coal should be sus¬pended or repealed, and legislativebodies cf municipalities should not bepermitted during the period of theemergency to enact ordinances regu¬lating the use of fuel, nor .should theordinances previously adopted be en¬forced, the statement declares."Last year a joint committee of the

Real Estate Board and the buildingmanagers of New York City, co¬operating with the City Board ofHealth, made a thorough investigationinto the entire coal question," itcontinues."The committee's report shows that

anthracite coal is found in quantityonly in Pennsylvania and that the an¬nual production is 90.000,000 t-ns Ofthis amount 12,000,000 is allotted togreater New York."Last year New York did not receive

its full quota, although every effortwas made to supply it. Culm bankfwere washed, creeks and riversdredged to obtain steaming coal, andwhen last year's strikes were overevery mine was worked to full capacity."This year nothing is being done.The situation is worse than ever,Should full production begin Septem¬ber 1, and that is scarcely possible, asmany of the mines have been badlydamaged, not more than SO.fHKVtons of anthracite could be producedby January 1. Greater New York'sshare of this amount would be 3.000.-000 tons, although the probability isthat New England and the North andNorthwest would be served first andNew York later. Up to the presentNew York has not had more than3,000,000 tons of its allotment for1922 and it needs 9,000,000 toasadditional."The railroads, furthermore, are not

in a position to transport the fulloutput of the anthracite mines. Theexecutives admit that equipment is netup to the proper standard. So it iscertain that 'soft' coal must be usedin increasing quantities where anthra¬cite, for domestic purposes, was usedexclusively.

"It may also be necessary to obtaincoal from --broad, and the foreign coalis bituminous. The sanitary code inNew York, City must therefore beamended or its provisions for soft coalusage suspended temporarily."All punitive sumptuary legislationagainst the landlord for not furnishingheat or hot water should be modifiedor repealed during existing «conditions.The tenant has an ample civil remedy, _-g[and no landlord should be put in jail^Hfor not doing impossible things. Wa

"In order to aiford every possible aul^In obtaining coal during the short¬age, a committee has been created ofwhich J. P. Lonergan, chief inspectorof the Department of Health, is chair¬man. The other members are ArthurC. Somera, representing the Depart¬ment of Education; J. L. Hcrnon, th«îBuilding Managers' Association; Ed¬ward P. Doyle, of the Real EstateBoard of New York, and William CBergen. This committee will workwith J. F. Berningham, chairman ofthe Anthracite Producers' Committee,and will have the assistance of thocity departments."

Last Call to BuyFormer Fire HouseOr Police Station

City Has Set To-morrow andTuesday as Final Daysfor Disposing of Its Un¬used Realty at Auction

The last two sales to be conductedby the city in carrying out the disposalof properties no longer required formunicipal purr-oses will include theoffering to-morrow and Tuesday of 121properties in Manhattan, Brooklyn andthe Bronx. The auction to-morrowwill be held at the Sixty-ninth Regi¬ment armory, Lexington Avenue andTwenty-sixth Street, under the direc¬tion of Comptroller Craig.Among the fifty or sixty propertieswhich could not be offered before to¬

morrow because of the provision of theiaw that they be advertised for thirtydays before sale, are many of the mostdesirable properties in the entire sale.These include a number of old policestations, school buildings and firehouses in Manhattan, which have beenmade over into manufactories andoffice buildings. Besides, there are an'imbor of vacant lots in the upperpr.rt of the city in sections now beingrapidly improved with apartmentbuildings. ,

Thirty-four parcels ip the B.ronx, re¬maining.to be sold, are largely apart¬ment house and dwelling sites. Inaddition there are a number of build¬ings which could be used for residen¬tial or industrial purposes. Only fiveparcels remain in Queens and four inRichmond, four of the former havingnever been offered for sale and aresome of the best parcels in Queens.

Sixty-three Brooklyn properties,many of which never have been of¬fered, will be closed out on Tuesdayat the 23d Regiment Armory, at Bed¬ford and Atlantic avenues, Brooklyn.The best properties in the Brooklyncatalogue have been reserved for thissale, including a fine private residenceon the Park Slope, a number of wellrented apartment houses, downtownbusiness buildings and a great varietyof sites for industrial, apartment ancresidential improvement, scatterecthroughout desirable sections of th-borough. (Reports from the Comptroller'!office indicate that many people wh<have already bought at the city sal«can mark their properties up for tprofit. Not a few of them have beerapproached to sell their contracts fo¡considerably more than the buyer:paid, it is said.Another indication of the avidity o

buyers is seen in the great numbewho already have been to the Comptroller's orfiee for- their titles to Uliproperties closed, despite the fact thathe terms called for a closing twent;d*****a after the date of sale. In mosinstances the buyers report that the;were prompted to buy not alone because of the upset price which thcity placed on the property, but because of the liberal terms of 75 pecent on mortgage for five years atper cent.To-morrow and Tuesday will be th

last opportunities buyers will have tbid on city properties, for with thclosing of the sale all unsold parcelwill be withdrawn from the markeand may not be offered again for yean

Brady Shows HowPermit NuisanceCan Be Avoided

A letter from the secretary of theReal.Estate Board suggesting revisionof the methods used by the Superin¬tendent of Buildings which require the

I presentation of an insurance policy asa prerequisite to obtaining a buildingpermit, together with the reply fromBuifding Superintendent" CharlesBrady, was announced yesterday bythé' board. The board directed itsletter, according to the secretary, inview of the numerous complaints frombuilders and architects over the en-forcement of the law passed by the lastLegislature as an amendment to theworkmen's compensation act."We would suggest," writes Richard

O.' Ghittick, executive secretary of theboard, "that each builder be requiredto submit his policy for examinationthe first time he asks for a permit, and"that his name be listed on a card witha statement that the policy had beeninspected. It would subsequently benecessary only to refer to this card,without requiring the builder actuallyto present the policy."Thsse suggestions had received con¬

sideration previously, SuperintendentBrady replied, and "they were notadopted for the reason that the insur-a-nce ç.Qiupanies. and the State Insur¬ance Fund issue certificates whichmay be filed in this office and referredto bj*-_-he applicant in each applicationfor a permit. There is no reason whyevery contractor should, not obtainsuch a-certificate and file it with thisoffice, hoth for his own convenienceand ours."

Old Hanover ClubBuilding Is SoldTo Jewish Society

Structure on Bedford Ave.Corner Long a Social Cen¬ter of Brooklyn Boughtby Religious Organization

The Young Israel, of WilHamsburg,a Jewish religious organization, haspurchased the Historic Club building,at Bedford Avenue and Rodney Street,for many years a prominent socialcenter of the Eastern District ofBrooklyn. The club is to be disbanded.The club property, which is an at¬

tractive brick and stone building, fullyequipped with modern furnishings andclub accessories, will be taken over asit is, the purchasing organization feel¬ing that its search for quarters in thatlocation has been more than adequatelyrewarded.The price asked for the property was

$35,000, and it is understood that it wassold for close to this figure.The new owners of the Hanover

Club property will take possessionabout December 1. At about that timethe club will close its books and be¬come a thing of the past. It has beensuggested by a number of «old membersthat before leaving the quarters sodear to hundreds of former membersthat they hold a big farewell banquetat the club and bid adieu to the oldmeeting plaee with its fond recollec¬tions...

. The Hanover Club !n former years,before many of its members moved toother parts, had a large enrollment andat one. time the matter of adding to itspresent holdings at the rear were un¬der consideration. Later when thecharacter of the place changed from a

private residence section to a businessand an apartment district, it wbburged by many of the members of theclub that the Bedford Avenue propertybe sold and a new home in the exclu¬sive section of St. Mark's Avenue besecured. Some of the members sug¬gested that it would be wise to amal¬gamate with the W^lliamsburgh Lunch¬eon Club, many of whose memberswere also affiliated with the HanoverClub.The Hanover Club property was sold

to Young Isreal by C. C. Mollenhauer,as broker, formerly president of theclub and vt"-ho has been active on thecommittee in charge of negotiating forits sale: The question of selling theproperty came up before a meeting in1919 and a division of sentimeent de¬veloped among the members. A sug¬gestion to move to another section andcontinue the organization was de¬feated by a close vote. The clubmoved to its present quarters in 1890.
