The Southern Israelite Page 27 — New Temple of Israel, Greenville, S. ('. LEHMAN AND RABINOWITZ TO BUILI) MODEL HOUSES New York, (J. T. A.)—Lieut-Gov. Herbert H. Lehman and Aaron Rab- inowitz, member of the New York State Board of Housing, are making possible the erection of model apart ment buildings on the East Side through the purchase of a site com prising two and a half city blocks, for $550,000. The estimated cost of erec tion will be $2,300,000. Acquisition of the property was announced by the Housing Board. The houses, to have modern im provements as well as a swimming pool, roof gardens and roof play grounds, are to be erected under the “limited dividend” plan of the hous ing law as soon as the old buildings of the plant of R. Hoe and Company, printing press manufacturers, are de molished. Maximum rentals will not exceed $12 a room. The buildings will house 400 families. Neither Lieut- Gov. Lehman nor Mr. Rabinowitz will seek to make a profit from the trans action. Immediate construction of the apartment houses has been decided upon. The buildings are to be erected under the “limited dividend” plan of the State Housing Law and the net in come from the rental of the buildings at no time can exceed 0 per cent a year. If such a condition should arise that this rate is exceeded it must go hack to the tenants in rebates. "While there has been much talk about development of modern housing on the east side,” said Mr. Rabinowitz, obviously there has been little action. This project is the first actual step in this line in Manhattan. As soon as the present occupants remove, the buildings will be torn down and short ly afterwards construction will be started by a limited dividend com pany. "Credit for the suggestion which led to the purchase of the land goes to Miss Lilian I). Wald, head worker in the Henry Street Settlement, and a valued friend of Lieut-Gov. Lehman and myself. It also is my hope that these buildings will stand as a tribute to former Gov. Smith, who conceived and put into operation the State Hous ing Law.” UNIQUE PERSONAL SERVICE IN ARTISTIC NEW BOOKLET A unique type of individual service for practical aid in Jehrzeit and other personal mourning observances, re cently inaugurated through a new undertaking in New York city, is be ing supplied in the form of a particu larly appropriate little book which at the same time serves as an indi vidual memorial of genuinely artistic character. The service is being nude available also in other communities throughout the country. The new Iskor book is a compact, attractive little volume of 32 pages, providing all the required aids for mourning observance and a number of pleasing new features never before incorporated in such forms. In addition to a 48-year calendar giving for each year the date of the civil calendar corresponding to the Hebrew Jahrzeit date, it contains a complete series of the personal pray ers used by mourners in the home, cemetery and synagogue, in both He brew and English text. The Kaddish is given not only in Hebrew and Eng lish, but also with a phonetic inter linear transliteration of the Hebrew, so that anyone even not versed in He brew can with the aid of this pocket text recite the prayer correctly wher ever occasion requires. In addition, there is a concise outline of mourn ing rules, and also a pafe for enter ing the family history and the tomb stone inscription. The book may be ordered directly from the publishers, Iskor Press, Inc.. 826 Fifth Avenue, New York City, who will on request furnish order forms on which to forward necessary instructions for the inscriptions. The book may also be secured in double form, as where the memorial is desired for a father and mother, together, etc. Such booklets contain two dedication pages, separately in scribed, and two Jahrzeit calendars. We suggest this volume and ad vise its inclusion in all Jewish libra ries whether public or private. SULLIVAN HARDWARE CO.
