LIMIT PUT ON N.Y. SKYSCRAPERS Stop Upward Tendency By Legislation on Height Specifications. A law regulating building which has just become effective in New York City is of general interest to architects, builders and students of municipal affairs in all parts of the country, al though in no other city are there such building problems as in New York. The new law prohibits the building of skyscrapers to a height more than two and one half times the width of the streets on which they front. Such a height is permitted only in the present office building section of lower Manhattan. In the strict ly residential sections buildings will be permitted only as high as the street is wide. Tenement and apartment houses can be built one and a quarter and one and a half times as high as the width of the street in front of them. One purpose of the law is to prevent an increase of traffic in sections where business pupula tion is already too great for the sidewalks and transit facilities. The law is designated also to check the invasion of retail dis tricts by factories and of resi dential districts by business and at the same time to concentrate manufacturing in localities where its products can be handled most efficiently. New York real estate dealers are of the opinion that the new restrictions may result in a tem porary reduction of values in some sections, but that eventual ly the benefit will be great. l ndustrial Index. Dudley M. Hughes Stands On His Record. In another column of this pa per wiil be found the announce ment of Hon. Dudley M. Hughes as a candidate for re-election to Congress from this district. Our “farmer Congressman'’ stands squarely on his record in Con gress as a basis for re-election. As to his character as a man it is simply above reproach, and no man dare say that Dudley M. Hughes is not honest, and when you put the yard stick to him he measures up as a man in every respect. Then his political ene mies will hardly be able to get up anything of consequence against him except that same old cry that “he has been there long enough and that he hasn’t done anything.” We see no reason in the world to change a good, useful and in fluential man just at the high tide of his usefulness for some one untried. His record will re fute the latter charge if you will take the trouble to inquire about it. We take pleasure in repro ducing in another place in this issue of the Journal a special from Washington showing that Mr. Hughes was the recipient of marked demonstration in the house, and high tribute was paid to him by some of the leaders of 1 the democratic party, while he was delivering his speech in sup port of his bill for vocational edu cation. Mr. Hughes is chairman of the house committee on educa tion. He is recognized as a man of strength and influence by the foremost men of the party. Cochran Journal. All Ride Newspapers. The condition of the national treasury is such, according to its published statement, for the gov ernment to dish out a few dimes to the newspaDers for advertising space instead of its request forj free space through the postoffice department. But this seems to be a great day of riding the news papers for free advertising and! the government is no worse than ! the rest of them.—Butler Herald.' Jury List.
