8. Only eight carloads of coal for the use of factories in Queens were received yesterday according to Coal Administrator Ryan.

One carload wa sent to Hollis where there has been a severe shortage.

A drop of 00 per cent. In the buildtn soperatlons Queens has been caused by the war and the resulting high price of building materials thus far, according to the figures in the report of the Queene Building Bureau. For the month of January only 9 pjens were filed for building that will cost $201, 25. During January of 1917 252 plans were filed, tho aggregate cost of the buildings amounting to $740,871. Because of the high prices en all building materials, realty companies have practically stopped bunding for investment.

Materials cost from 20 to 50 per rent, above the normal price, and when war oendfttons art op the realty values will take a drop that will make building at the present a losing proposition. For the same reason few apartment and tenement houses are being erected. Industrial plants show the greatest building activity, especially those now working on war products and other Government orders, which have required the enlargement of many establishments.

Promise Legislation if B. R. T. Service Is Not Improved. Wood haven, Feb.

8. The 'senice being given by the B. R. which haa caused numerous civic organisations to demand that the Public Service Commission be abolished, because of Its alleged failure to remedy conditions may have a serious effect upon the political situation in Queens, according to the rather novel view of the matter taken by the Woodhaven Republican Association. This association has decided to take up the cudgels for the people of this section of Queens, and what is described as an ultimatum ha been sent to the Public Service Commission.

The document follows' The Woodhaven Republican Association. one of the largest and most influential associations In Queens County, makes this final appeal to sou for imrruediat relief to tho people of Kings and Queens Counties from the notoriously wretched and abominable serxlce of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit system. Action is Imperatively needed, not only from an economical, but also from a political standpoint. It is getting more difficult every-day to hold the support of the people of our community to Reupublican institutions, when the Public Service Commission fails to give relief upon the just petition of persons having occasion to use such sys-tem The people are impressed with the idea that the Public Service Commission is powerless and has failed in its efforts to afford relief from the Inadequate schedule, cold storage cars, the two-car train abomination and the other equal causes of complaint which exist, and which indicate the general disregard of the railroad company to your commission and the traelmg public. In order to hold the Republican vote of Queens County, it has been found necessary to have the Republican clubs combine to obtain that relief which the civic organisations of our county have been unable to obtain.

We will therefore ask. for the last time, that immediate relief be gien. Unless something substantial is accomplished, the Republican clubs of Queens County will, with the aid and co-operation of several of the largest daily newspapers, commence a campaign of publicity and will instruct their representatives at Albany to prepare proper legislation to obtain relief. There is no doubt that 'the situation is one that demands drastic action to compel the Brooklyn Rapid Transit stem to give some measure of service with proper regard to rights of the traveling public, and this will be obtained, no matter what recourse will have to be taken to produce the desired results.

Kohler Is, Chairman of the entertshi-mnt. Lang Island Feb. I. Agreement was reached yesterday at a conference between members of the Board of Estimate and Borough Pres, ldent Connolly over the terms of the Queens Boulevard bill whtch is to bo presented to the Legislature. A messenger went to Albany last night with the which will probably be presented tonight.

The enactment of thl measure Is of the greatest Importance to every taxpayer In Queena As the matter now stands the property owners in Queens will have to pay their proportion of tho cost of acquiring land for the widening of thl boulevard, which amount to more then 2.000, 00, when they. pay their taxes this year, and this will make Increase of 21 points in their taxes. A bill to spread the cost over five years was prepared but has been sidetracked. Tho objection was based on the fact that the relief was applicable only to the Queens Boulevard. It so happens that in both Manhattan and Brooklyn big assessments like this will become due and payable next year and the members of the Board of Estimate came to the conclusion that it was well to apply this relief to the Queens Boulevard it might as well be so arranged so that the relief can next year be applied for the benefit of the Brooklyn and Manhattan taxpayers.

So the new measure makes the provision general to any Improvement throughout the city where the cost is more than $50,000 and is to be for by assessment upon property, wholly or in part, in an assessment district. Another objection that the members of the Board of Estimate made to the original bill was that it was definitely provided that the payment of the assessment should be extended over a period of five years. Controller Craig insisted that it might be advisable that fewer years be determined and so the provision for five yearly payments has ben eliminated and another inserted that tbe Board of Estimate can tlx any number of years (up to five years. Tho new bill therefore practically leaves the entire matter up to the discretion of the Board or Estimate, whereas the former bill made it mandatory, and the new hill also extends the provisions to all sections of the city instead of limiting them to the Queens Boulevard alone. If the bill is passed by April 1 of this year the Queens property owner will have to pay blit, a portion of the cost this year.

We have laid off temporarily about 100 men, a tenth of our force, because of our inability to get materials. This Is due to the present freight blockade.

and when inquiry was made of the manngenient of that railroad as to tho amount of freight that was ctinij lng to Long Island City It was said: We have heard of no establishment in he Long Island City eectlon which have been compelled to shut down altogether or fin part because of ina unity to get material. We are receiving a larro number of cats every day in Long island CIiv.
