For more then a week past get-rich quick comedy, in which the heroes are hot-dog merchants, peanut vendors and nice lady shopkeepers with a hard-) boiled reel estate' man thrown in here' and there for food measure, has been I enacted there.

While the real estate kings werel fooling around with Florida acreage the good townfolk of this gold-sanded belt, ranking from the pet handbell player to the schoolmaster, went riding into the near-millionelre class' Every foot of the nine miles, along which a new $10,000,000 boardwalk will wander, hat been od from three to five times, with every hour marked by resales. Crowds jam curb markets, shouting end waving checkbooks in the air. Offices resemble the opening night of a widely advertised Broadway girl ahow. One. saw, for instance, a collarless man run out of an office on one side of the street happily waving a purchase contract and rush into an office on the opposite side to make a resale profit -of $1,500 or more.

A purpose to which It 4s to be dedi- nomlc law that when then can no longer subsist on existing salarier'they disappear and their places are taken by women. Men no longer could raise a family on the salary of a school teacher, they could not afford the In-vestment necespary to become ft they considered returns from the business-as school teacher did not warrant the -necessary expenditure of time and money.

Something Tnust be done to attract men into our public schools. New Yoik City -needs a least" 5,000 men teachers, men of vigorous health, clear vision, well trained men -who. actually know how to'bandle buys and wjio will appeal to boys, men who are alert and men who like tbk job. These men are needed in the fifth to the ninth grades. The present salaries drive men oil.

The only way to get them is to offer adequate -compensation, sufficient to induce them to enter upon the work." The followiu facts also were given as reasons by the South. Brooklyn Board of Trade for its approval of the Ricca schedules: The teachers have invented a large sum (running into the thousands) preparation for the profession. This is' their invested capital. The business of teacher is the on'y business where the capital is always lost eventually and completely. We believe their salary, should at least slightly compensate them for the lose of their investment.

"We find that tetehers are underpaid as compared with the salaries of teachers In other large cities. We Kftvq in view the fact that the salaries np-pearingSw print are only the maximum salaries and the salaries that teachers as a mass -receive are nqich lower, for it takes many years to reach the maximum. The business of teaching is a singular one in that it require a constant and incessant outlay. -The, teacher is never through taking additional courses in colleges in order to' prepare for higher licenses required for grades or higher schools. This' constant drain upon ft teacher's salary and time makes it Imperative that those fixing salaries should hare this in mind.

In many cities of the United States teftchers are given an increase of $100 per year for every year following each summer course Vr its equivalent. Securing teachers for high school or the npper grades of tlie public school Js entirely dependent upon the teachers spending their' ealaries for additional training to pass the required This necessitates a better salary than they are norf receiving. Members on the committee on education were at first much Impressed with the fact cited to them that teachers could retire at the end. of thirty-five year and that this was a benefit that meant much to the teachers. But after careful investigation the matter of the retirement disclosed itself as myth.

First, the retirement is largely paid for by the teachers, themselves, who contribute a certain' portion 'of their yearly salary. Secondly, the fact that eachcrs do not benefit from retirement is shown clearly by conditions of Public School No. 10 of onr district, which is the school in this Section of the city, During the twenty years only two teachers have been retired from this school, One died shortly after retirement. The other Was retired on February 1 last, at the age of TO years, Finally, the committee found that the taxes have-doubled during the last even years and that teachers owning their homes have experienced an Exceeding hardship on the salary they receive. This doubling of the taxes is not due lo any mandator legislation passed it Albany but ia solely due to the effect of exempting one section of the taxpayers from taxation and making the rest pay alf'the tnxes that is necessary to raise.

Having iq mind the past hardship due to increased taxation and thnt tnxea already have been increased for the coming year and will likely continue to rise, due io making one portion of the taxpayers pay all the taxes, the committee feels it is bust just thnt the teachers should have their salaries adjusted so as to meet thA rapid decline ago, the miles of send, long used free, of $20,000,000 were recorded in a eom-gratis, for nothing by week-end camp-' paratively short tjme.

What Was Union Field cemetery in L. now is the site for a railroad depot and other buildings. These instances are not unique; they are merely typical. "Then, too, the theory is an ancient 'Ane that for economic and sa liltary reasons burial should not be permitted within the limits of a city. It was so held a far back as The grandeur that Was Rome, which accounts for th hundreds of private tombs that fringe the Appian Way, outside the gates of the Eternal City.

Many European municipalities now forbid Interment within a stipulated distance of their outskirts- In tlic year 1778 the authorities of. Parts condemned all cemeteries within a wide radius of the heart of the city and caused the remains of hundsfds of thousands to be dug up and placed in dank and fllthy subterranean catacombs far below, street level.

In requesting the establishment of this ferry service, the Queensboro Chamber of Commerce did not have in mind that this would solve the problem, but only that it would provide some means of relief within the shortest period of time.

The city now owns the ferry slips at Thirty-fourth etreet, Manhattan.

It was pointed out that this satire block front could be obtained by the city end the Queenh Borough ferry slip established at that point. It should he possible to establish this service within a period of six months, as new ferryboats will he delivered shortly, which will release two older boats for this service. If, when it ie established, horse-drawn vehicles and alow-moving tracks were diierted to llie ferry, great relief would he pimuh 1 fur the Quern-boro Br Queensboro Bridge if theft was any other convenient means for crossing the East River, because he thinks too much of his horses to subject them to the dam gere particularly on wvt' snd rainy days which they mast encounter in crossing the bridge.

Mr. Stevenson stated that a good team could handle not more than threelon load over the Queensboro Bridge, while they could handle more easily a five-ton oad acrost hte ferry. At the present time," stated Mr. StcVensom we often send our horse-drawn vehicles from 50th street to 23d street in Manhattan, so that they can cross thd river on the ierry and thence come through Brooklyn to Long Island City. a regular dependable ferry service were established from 84lh street, Manhattan, to a conveaient point in Long Island City, the manufacturers of Queens would gladly use this service, times as many vehiiles cross tae Queens-In my opinion the value of the ferry boro Bridge in a 24-hour period than service formerly provided like a great when it was first opened.

They will be saved not only the delay due to the bridge'congpstioa, but also more than a mila of haulage in the thickly streets of Manhattan. Frnk A. Adel, president of the QQueensboro Chsmer of Commerce, stated: the 'only comprehensive solution for the problem of vehicular congestion on the Queensboro Bridge ia the construction of additional bridges or tunnels between Manhattan and Queensboro Bridge when it wee opened in 1000.
