Veoeheea. A. SftBaMiSV! Aldermen Seek to Amend Law Regarding Care of Furnaces Hold Hearing To-morrow. To-morrow there will be a hearing in City Hall before the Board of Ai-dernjen to determine whether an amendment to ai existing act that would compel apartment house owners to employ skilled engineers to rfn their furnaces, shall become a law affecting the five boroughs of New York City. Apartment house owners who have heard of the proposed change are ver much concerned about it.

For should this regulation go into effect it would mean that, if strictly interpreted, even home owners using steam would have to employ an engineer at the rate of $10.50 a day to take care of the furnace. This amendment demands that engineers shall take care of boilers that generate only one horsepower of steam, etc. The etc covers great deal of ground. Here is the act as amended: A Local Law Amending Section 343 Charter of The City 'of Iv'ew York. Introduced by Mr.

Burden: A LOCAL LAW amending section 343 of thu charter of the Uty of New York. Be it Enacted, by the JlfwnicipaJ Assembly of The City of A'cic 1orA, as follous: Section 1. It shall not be lawful for any person or persons to operate (or use any steam boiler to generate steam except for railway locomotive engines, and for heating purposes to private dwellings and boilers carrying not over ten pounds of steam and not oven ten horsc-power pipes, boilers, engines, stationary or locomotive, con -taint rs, tanks or vAscls under pressure of at water, gas or steam, except pipes, containers, fan As or ressds used in transportation of air, water or gas, hot uater fan As used for domestic purposes which are subject to city water pressure only or to operate or use any steam boiler or steam generator, for any purpose carrying over ten pounds of steam; or a boiler having a horse poiver capacity of more than twenty horse-power or ftarinq a ieaftn7 surface of more than two hundred ana forty square feet or to act as engineer for such purposes In the city of New York without having a certificate of qualification therefor from practical engineers detailed as such by the police department, such certificate to be countersigned by the officer In command of the sanitary company of the police department of the city of New York and to continue in force one year, unless sooner revoked or suspended. Such certificate may be revoked or suspended at any ttme by the police commissioner upon the report of any two practical engineers detailed as provided in this section, stating the grounds upon which such certificate should be revoked or suspended. The part stricken out by the amendment Is in brackets and excepts the heating apparatus In homes and apartment houses.

The part In italics is new. The mere removal of this exception is claimed to imply that the amended law will apply to apartment houses especially, loading owners of multiple dwellings with all the way from $2,500 a year to $5,000 additional annual expense. Janitors now operate apartment house boilers attached to the heating plants. One of the usual requirements In a janitor is skill in running a heating plant. If he hasnt this skill he doesn't get the job.

But If the amendment to the local law goes into effect he will have to pull out his engineer's certificate before he is employed. The enactment and enforcement of this law, according to apartment house owners seen, will mean increase In the rent to cover the additional expense of carrying an engineer on the staff of operations. That will be inevitable, it was said. But there is to be a fight against the amendment, it was also said. Now should this law demand that the man who takes care of the home furnace shall he a skilled engineer.

It waa freely predicted that there would be more than a mere The Real Estate Owners' Association of Manhattan, it was said esterday, will take the matter up at the meeting tomorrow, and If nothing can be done then to stop the passage of the amendment it Is proposed to ask for postponement of the hearing so that there may be a proper opposition organized.

BROOKLYN NEWSPAPER MEN TO START CLUB JUNE 11 i The organisation meeting of the Brooklyn Newspaper Club will be held at the Italian Country Club. Thirteenth avenue and Elghty-aIxth street, on Monday night, June 32 Plans for the meeting were made at a session of the organization commit' tee In the log cabin room of the Union League Club last night Nicholas Salvaggl has extended an tnvttatlon to the newspaper men to he hls guests- at dinner on the night of the. organization meeting. The club will be formally Inaugurated, and its officers elected on that night as i New Regents Rule Not Aimed at Regularly Registered Institutions of State.

Tills Stale has oo Intention of following the lead of Oregon In at- tempting to force attendance In pub- lie schools, according to the highest authority. Dr. James Sullivan, Assistant State Commissioner of Education, and well known heie as an ex-pnu-cipal of Bos High School, declares that no injustice will be done to anyone by the new rule of the, Board of Regents, requiring that after 1928 only students of regularly reg- istered high schools may take exam- lnatlons reeents' quallfyfng cer. Uflcates. It was pointed out last night that many puvate and parochial high schools are regiateied with the State Board of Regents, "The only exception will be to the proprietor of those schools that advertise to teach anything within short time.

There will no longer be any use for these schools, said Dr. Sullivan, for anyone can ro into a free public high school and get the education which these private institutions are supposed to teach. It is a mistake to say that after 1928 the regents will permit only students of public high schools to take these examinations. Any student who goes through the four-year course of any school that'is registered with the regents may take the qualifying examination. There Is no reason for keeping' up an expensive system of qualifying examinations when anyone of proper age can go Into a free school and get the education.

There Is no infringement on anyones liberty. This department has had many complaints from students who have answered some of the alluring advertisements and have paid money to learn something. What they have learned is that they are out so much money. These Institutions to which I refer should not be confused for an instant with the registered schools that are under the regents. There is also a great need for a 9hange in the law, continued Dr.

Sullivan. Under our present statutes. anyone, whether he be a blacksmith or a professional man, or a day laborer, can organize a preparatory school In any sort of a building. He can take the money of the students and teach what he will or can. We have no control whatever over the institution.

Perhaps, one of these days the law will bo changed, but that is the way It stands now. Mrs. Fannie Llghtstone, 33 years of 225 South Third street, wealthy owner of a chain of motion picture theatres, including the Van Buren Theatre, Broadway and Van Buren street, appeared before Magistrate Harry Howard Dale in the Gates avenue court yesterday and made a complaint of disorderly conduct against her husband, Herman, 39 yeara old. The complaint alleges Llghtstone struck his wife during a quarrel at Van Buren street and Broadway yesterday. Patrolman David H.

Smith, of the Ralph avenue station, took Llghtstone into custody. He was paroled for trial on Wednesday. Llghtstone assists his wife in the operation of the theatres, it Is said, and a quarrel arose over the manner in which he performed some duty.

The new theatre will present pictures exclusively except during the week of June 22, when the Siamese Twins, Violet and Daisy Hilton, will be introduced as an extra added attraction. There will be a concert orchestra and the theatre will operate the year around. Dreams of real estate men and amusement promoters to give Coney Islai.d an all-year attraction, promises to come true.

For twenty years Coney Island business men urged a modern broadwalk on the beach and when it was officially opened last spring it was heralded as the first link in the chain of improvements to make Coney an all-year resort The next and most important im-j provement In the all-year Coney movement is the completion of Loews Coney Island Theatre and office building. The theatre has a seating capacity of 2, GOO persons and a large stage fully equipped with all the modern accessories for legitimate nroductions, vaudeville and motion pictures. The interior of the theatre, is finished in gold and cerise, and the general architecture is in renaissance style. The celling dome is sixty-six feet in diameter and has an electric fixture hung from the center twenty-four feet high and twelve feet in diameter and weighing two tons. This fixture Is the largest and the only one of Its kind ever installed in any American theatre.

It is made of wrought iron trimmed with crystal and finished in polycrome colors. It has indirect lighting features. Another feature of the theatre Is the organ, the second largest in America. Commenting on the completion of the Theatre, Irwin S. Chanin, president of the Chanin Construction Company, said: Our original plans were for a small theatre with 1,500 seats In a two-story building facing Surf avenue, but after studying the condition we realized the great need in Coney Island for an ail-year amusement, and I believe we have satisfied this need.

We spent more than $2,000,000 to build the theatre building, and spared no expense to provide adequate facilities that will attract the finest business and amusement ventures. Coney Island has an all year round population of 80,000 with suburban, Brooklyn, and Long Island such as Bensonhurst, Bath Beach, Brighton Beach, Ulmer Park, Sea Gate, fiheepshead Bay and Manhattan Beach to draw from. The new theatre is situated across the street from the B. M. T.s $3,000,000 depot and In the heart of the amusement section.

Here all of the Island arrives and here we hope to make the corner a sort of a Coney Island 'Broadway and Forty-Second street.
