The good hip that prevailed led to de mand for an organization, and it was at Mr. Montague's suggestion that the name "The be chosen, this being the name of the London organi? zation founded in by John Hare, who whs its firal shepherd. In at a dinner in New York, given by the New York Lambs for Mr. Hare, he presented to them the in? signia of the London flock, and the sur? viving Bnrl Lamba were elected honorary life members of the New Voik Lambs.

"Some of them express espe? cial interest in the provision of the hill affecting the assurance fund which is to be formed in order to secure holders of Certificates and other persons asraln'-'t any possible losses occurring by reason of the Operation of th" law He also says: "Under the title guar? antee svstem which is now- in vocrue in New York City the owner must nav a new- insurance each time the nropertv is transferred or mortgaged. fin a fio non niece of nronertv, for in tance, this would amount to on the first transaction and f-'O for each subsequent "Under the Torrens single insurance premium of of 1 nor cent i or for each M.000* bf th? value of the aroiertv i naid to the Register.

The experience of Illinois is similar." Want Tenement Act Changed a Amendments Desired So as to Building of i-Family Houses. A committee of the Brooklyn Real Estate Hoard la working energetically to have the tenement house law amend? ed so it would be possible to construct a new type of three family house and also to alter old one or two family dwelling houses into structures for three families, It comprises A. J. Wal- I i.in,, chairman; James B. Fisher, Jo-, sepb M.

May, George H. Urav and Rob- ert A. Wright No other borough of the greater city I i has so many old dwelling and three story houses that could be quickly I made into aerviceable three family houses Brooklyn. This change can? not now be made that the houses could be rented at-a low and profitable figure. 1 he committee acknowledge? that the opposition to changing the law is strong.

Yet it hopes to win the fight that it is making for many property It favors the erection of fewer of the large apartment houses with rooms for many families. "There are three classes of houses suitable for three families," the committee. "The buildings in question are old residences in the older parts of the city that cannot be profitably rented as tingle or two family tures, and three story store properties in neighborhood? in which storekeeper? cannot uiford to rent room? outside of store premises. If the storekeeper live? upstairs in the building or elsewhere be has to pay rent for his living room? like the majority of persons, whereas if his flat whs in the rear of hi? the rent for the would be in? cluded in the charges for the living rooms. Tl elail of suitable buildings, it seems needless to are new three family houses.

"A pertinent question to be answered now i-, Shall we lave a city with tene? ment houses of from twenty to thirty families or we be allowed to use our old homes and build three family that are safe, sanitary and bava good light and air. but are nut I prohibitive ss to cost snd can be erect? ed and maintained without unnecessary supervision and regulation? "Only a small number of three family tenement houses have been built in the city since the enactment of the tene? ment house law in 1901. Under this law large courts are necessary, and this and other requirements result in remodelled or new structures for three tamilies, with small and impractical rooms. "Of the 591 tenement houses put up in Urooklynlast year, only twelve were three family houses. In Queens 281 tenement houses were built, and of that number but 29 were three family houses.

In The Bronx in the same period 232 tenement houses were con? structed snd only one was a three fam? ily house." "The owner who lives in his own house, either a private house or a two or three family house, is, without question, the best citizen for our city. He has an interest in all of our city's local and civic affairs that the rent payer in the twenty or more family l.ouse does not have. "The new type of three family houses which we propose is superior in every way to the structures thst are built for twenty or more families. In our pro? posed three family house every apart? ment will extend from street to yard. There will be only one apartment on each floor, and consequently only three apartments in the house.

All living rooms will front either on the street side or the yarn. In the so-called mod? ern tenement house there are some apartments with all the rooms opening on an interior or exterior court, and therefore there are no rooms facing the street or the rear yard. Does such an apartment compare favorably with an apartment for only three families, like the one described? "We are striving to acquire the right only to use the old buildings, so as to make them fair investments, and to be able to build the proposed three family houses and rent them without being harassed by too many regulations and inspections The committee asks the support of all property owners and other person? who are interested in its work and OQlaV-U.
