liouek tviU be hold tomorrow nt P. M. at the Fairchtld Chapel, lie died yesterday at the home of his son, James F. Bouck. in New Canaan, In his 9 I'd year.

Mr. Bouck was a former Tax Commissioner and former leader of the Andrew Jackson Democratic Club in the old Fourth A. now the 11th A. 1. He was born in Schoharie County, N.

a descendant of William C. Bouck. Democratic Governor of New York State from 1843 to 1845, and was a graduate of Union College. Schenectady. Mr.

Bouck was a member of the New York Froduce Exchange for many years and a former president of the Old Brooklyn Board of Kducation. Until five years ago Mr. Bouck and his family lived at home in Grand which they had occupied since that part of the borough was considered farm land. Two other sons, Dudley and Worcester. Burvlvc.

When Mr. Bouck left Brooklyn pome five years ago to take up his Tiew residence in Bark Manhattan, with his son and daughter-in-law, "old-timers" in this borough complained that "things don't eeern the same now since Jim JJouck left us." Best Known, and Rest Liked It was said of the fermer Tax Commissioner at that time that he was the best known and best liked man In the borough. Indeed, there were many suggestions made in 1926 that the name of Grand where Mr. Bouck formerly lived, be changed to Bouck ave. Mr.

Bouck was actively interested in politics for more than seven decades. He knew no eight-hour days. Long before he became the actual leader of the Fourth A. D. he was the right-hand man of Leader Tom Kerrigan, and when his evenings were not spent at the Andrew Jackson clubrooms.

his Grand ave. doorbell was rarely silent after dark. Bo highly regarded was Mr. Bouck, that even after he assumed control in the Seventh Ward there never was a whisper of opposition to his control of party affairs in the district. Many Republicans living In the bailiwick were his personal friends and regularly supported Democratic nominees on his assurance such candidates would make good public officials.

Mr. Bouck was Deputy Receiver Of Taxes under the greater city when his first fight for leadership came. That was in l'JOO. Ho was opposed by a ticket headed "by the late former District Attorney James Ridgeway, who several years be-'fore that had been nosed out by Mr. Bouck in a race for the control of the Andrew Jackson Club.

In those days primary battles often were marked by fisticuffs, knifings, and sometimes gun battles. The race between Mr. Bouck and Mr. Ridgeway, on the other hand, has gone down in Brooklyn's political history ok one in which courtesy and good manners predominated. Throughout, the primary campaign, which Mr.

Bouck finally won by a handy margin, both candidates treated each other In good humored, gentlemanly fashion. Old-timers still ialk about 'Jim" Bouck's good manners. When Controller William Tren-dergast later took office. Mr. Bouck retired from the post of deputy auditor in the Finance Department, where he had served under Controller Metz.

Although he had made a splendid record for himself, he bowed to the Inevitable as a practical politician, told his successor all he knew about the post, took down his hat and went back to the Produce Kxchange. Ixval lo Byrnes After the Ninth Ward was joined to Mr. Bouck's old Assembly district, and the Fourth became the 11th Tom Byrnes became leader and Mr. Bouck stepped aside. Karller.

McCarren thas succeeded Hugh McLaughlin as county leader and he decided that Mr. Bouck ihould be displaced. "All right." Bouck told Met arren, "you may depend on my support of Tom Byrnes." And Byrnes got it Later, however, when the seven executive members of the county committee, including Tom Byrnes, broke away from McCarren, the latter came to Mr. Bouck and asked him to lead a fight against Byrnes In the 11th District. Mr.

Bouck smashed his fist down on a table and declared: "Senator, when you told me that Tom Byrnes was to be leader in my place, I accepted what some people called my turndown, and ROEMMEIE'S FUNERAL CHURCH JOHN W. ROEMMELE, Director 122H-3 KUNHWU'K I'KWV. Phone Fat. B-tsno-SMI EDW. C.

One day less than a year from the time the first sterl column was in place, the City Bank-Farmers' Trust Co. will open for business Tuesday in ttle 60-story, all-stone skyscraper completed and turned over to the National City Realty Co. Friday night by the George A. Fuller builders. Occupying the block bounded by Exchange p).

and William, Beaver and Hanover Manhattan, a snub-nosed triangle in the heart of the financial district, the new structure pushes to a height of 750 feet into the world's most famous skyline and, for a scant month, until the completion of the Empire State building, will rank as the world's tallest stone building. Cross Cross are the architects. Friday at midnight the last small mop-up job had been completed in the five basement floors and the first 12 floors above the street which will be occupied exclusively by the hanking offices and vaults of the City Bank-Farmers' Trust and early yesterday morning the tremendous task of transferring the banking offices was under way. Described as the handsomest structure of its kind in New York, tho new building is said also to establish a record for speedy performance in the construction. It Is estimated that by ordinary construction schedules, the Job would have required at least four months more to complete.

The original schedule, however, was not only adhered to but advanced. Faced entirely with veined gray limestone from Rockwood, quarries, the extrlor of the building offers also notable examples of the sculptor's art in its elaborate ornamentation, for which special blocks weighing as much as 49,500 pounds were quarried and shipped from Alabama to nearby stonecutters. The use of marble and fine woods in the interior also is no table. No less than 4 5 different marbles, only two of which are of domestic origin, have been employed, while 15 different hardwoods, including English oak, knotty pine, teak, walnut, black-wood, cocoawood, and prima vera, have been utilized in the panelling and decoration of the offices. Throughout the building, for the first time in a major structure, a white metal in which an unusually heavy alloy of benedict nickle is used with copper, is employed for InterioV ornamentation in place of bronze.

This is lavishly used in the main entrance and lobby and In massive looking doors for the four banks of 31 elevators which service the building. As stainless steel is used for baseboards throughout the rentable area of the building, and chromium plated fixtures in all toilets and for handrails, the original design of the architects to use no colored metal has been carried out virtually without exception. Back of the large hall for senior officers are the offices of President James H. Perkins, panelled In English oak and handsomely furnished. SERVICE TOMORROW FOR ANTHONY MARX Former Restaurant Owner Dies in Holtsville, L.

I. The funeral of Anthony' Marx-, long a restaurant proprietor, will be held tomorrow when a requiem mass will be celebrated in the R. C. Church of the Most Holy Trin ity. 134 Montrose ave.
