That there Is plenty of money available for skyscraper office buildings In Manhattan is evidenced by the operations now under way or soon to be started. Prominent among the structures Btarted within the past week Is the 84-story office building to occupy the site of the old Mills Building at Broad st. and Exchange which Is to be ths new hame.of the Equitable Trust Company. It will be one of the largest ofiice buildings In the world and will contain the latest features in commercial building equipment.

To add to the labor alffcrene.es af fecting work In the flvo boro all the workmen except the bricklayer went on strike Tuesday on the two buildings being erected on the site of the old Fourth ave. car barns between 32d and 33d sts.

and Lexington and 4th aves. This walkout took place because some of the drivers delivering sand to the two Jobs lacked union buttons. The Teamsters and Chauffeurs' Union complained to the New York Building Trades Council, which directed cessation of work on th part of all members of trade unions adulated with the council. Half of the site Is to be occupied by the Mandel Build-ins, known as No. 1 Park and 'the other half is to be used by the Furniture Exchange.

Both are modern skyscrapers. It is reported that four other Jobs will be affected if non-union drivers are employed In the delivery of materials. Since the strike of the teamsters in 1904 It. ha been understood that the buililinpr material dealers were to conduct free delivery of materials In New York, and this rulo has been in practice sines that date, the drivers being Instructed that they were to take no orders except from their employers. Hence the present strike is a surprise to many big material dealers.

In the material markets little price changes have taften place. Brick remains Arm at $15.50 per thousand to dealers alongside dock, with the top price at $16. Lumber quotations are practically the same as those of a month ago. Steel still hovers around 2c. base Pittsburg.

Some lines of hardware are showing recessions. The activity In the building Industry Is keeping costs stable, and now that the peak of production lias virtually been reached the Indications are that the major items in construction will undergo no marked advances. Labor shortages still hamper economic production In the Hudson brickyards. Arrivals continue to come into the North River market in good volume and the supply Of brick around New TTork is ample to take care of current contracts. The rtrlke of the tenmBters and chauffeurs will probably not affect the In dustry, as the bricklayers have never insisted, on the union-made or union-delivered article.

This Is best sub stantiated by the absence of labof troubles over the use by some oon tractors of foreiirn hrick. Transactions in the North River market for the vck ended Tuesday. Julv 21. show f-3 arrivals and 48 snips. Manhattan.

Although labor troubles continue to threaten progress in tne conairuc tion Industry in Greater New York, investors and operators ore announcing new protects in Volume and value exceeding those made public at this time last year. A comparison or ng-ures shows that from July 1 to 18 in 19SU there were 40 4 contemplated operations nnrter way representing tin outlay of $31,734,500 and 364 contracts awarded to cost $30,277,600 during the same period. for the first 17 days of this month show 662 projects contemplated nt a cost of $30,490,100 and 388 commitments involving an expenditure of $37,164,000.

Residential developments lead all other classes of buildings In the statistics, with commercial structures and public works and utilities presenting unusual activity. A survey made by tha Record lind Guide last week brought forth the surprising Information that along 8th from 14th to 63d 15 major operations were under way or ready to start within the next 12 months at a coBt for the buildings alone of more than $35,000,000. These improvements include loft, office, clubhouse nnd amusement enterprises ranging from $500,000 to more than $2,000,000. The deadlock between the brlck-lavers am' 'asterers Is not seriously affecting v. In this city.

Both sides are ma' efforts to enlist the support of the lie and the charges and counter-ch." "i which have been prevalent for "iths are still the none of contentlc i between the warring parties. The fact that employers cn many jobs are paying higher than union wage scales to several of the major trades is conclusive indication that skilled workmen are scarce at this the peak season of the Industry, and therefore the men are not Inclined to be Idle through strikes. Oeorge W. Thornton, acting president Vf the Bricklayers, Masons and Plasterers' Association, announced during the week that Jiis organization would take no retaliatory steps against the members of the Operative Plnsterers and Cement Finishers' International Union in the big cities. He emphasized the fact that the bricklayers' position was "defensive nnd the union was only interested in protecting itself against invasion of its territory by the plasterers' union, na he charged was done In Florida, on the other hand.

Edward J. Mc-Olvern, president of the Operative union, declared that the bricklayers TiaH tieen guilty of one reprisal In this city when they Issued a charter to a local union of cement finishers that had been expelled from the plasterers' organization some months ago. It was the first Instance, he added, among American Federation of Labor bodies where-one union had chartered a local suspended by another union. OLD MORRIS COUNTY FARM TRANSFERRED Eugene V.

Makers was no great variety of It.

It was enough of an achievement to have made glasa at all. and It was used chiefly for decoration; not for the Infinite ends, from microscopes to lighthouse windows, to which it is put today. Now tnere is a state of mind among some builders that wipes out all advances so far as they are con cerned that have since been made In the Invention of glas. When they think of glass they thliik only of one kind. Just an the ancients dirt, and whatever kind they think of is good enough for their purpose.

The truly civilized man is the one who examines all the resources that rrogress has put at his command nnd. when he has something to make, searches about for the best machine to make it with and the best mnterlal lo use. The majority of builders, fortunately, are In this respect truly civilized. They are continually on the lookout for any In formation that will be of use in any department of their business. It is the purpose of this short article to direct the attention ef these men to some of the varieties of glass.

Opaque ami Wire Glaus. Plate glass nnd blown glass of the ordinary varieties are generally known. A1I builders, however, are not so familiar with white opaque glass that look exactly like the purest marble, or with black opaque a ass. which 1r used for many pur poses about a building where a fine appearance, combined with the greatest amount of cleanliness, is desired. Then there is wire glass, which Is made with the metal Imbedded In the structure of the glass during the nroK-resr.

of manufacture. This is stroni: and is used where clear vision Is not needed, as in skylights, eleva tor shafts, stair walls, factory roofs or other places where It Is desirable to admit light. This sort is cast or rolled like plate glass and has many of Its advantages. LAWRENCE ESTATE SOLD John F.

L.

Miller Co. have underwritten a bond Issue of $850,000. This structure wilt be 20 stories In height. Its exterior design Is strictly modern. By tmphastng all the vertical elements the architects have given the effect of height nd simplicity.

Its color will be golden ochre, and all the material, Including the stone work, brick ani terra cotta, ill harmonise. As-there ure permanent improvements to the blic Garages nearby publio garage for the convenience of It people. The law provides that In such a cast the owner of the land on which th proposed garage I to be erected may apply to the Board of Appeals, asking the board to lay out an area which will be affected by the new garage. This Is usually an area of onout two block or part of block.

Then If 80 percent of the frontage In such area consents tn writing to the new garage the Board of Appeal ha power to ay yes or no on the question. This provision Is a wise one because It makes it possible fur public garages of good design and In the right spot to be built In residential district Instead of changing the maps by making an unrestricted district. If an unrestricted district were created simply to place on or two garages therein, there would he no way of preventing the establishment of a chemical factory or other Injurious Industry In the midst of the residential district. This provision lets in the right sort of garage but keeps out Industry. An amendment has been made to the zoning law regarding garages which may not he generally known.

Rom of th cityia large public and parochial schools are in unrestricted districts, and there ha been considerable complaint about new garages being allowed under the hadow of these Institution where-noise and fumes were produced near the school, to say nothing ot dangers io the school children, Th amendment provides that no new garage ran be placed within 00 feet of such a school.

BASSETT. The complaint is occasionally made that the xpning law prevent publio garage in almost every part of the city where they ought to go. The truth la that probably every one-halt mils square in all of Greater New York has several spot in It where garages can be placed. The used zoning map of the city shows large area of unrestricted land, especially near railroads, waterfront. existing factories, warehouses and coal yards.

In addition, small unrestricted districts were placed in proper spots throughout the city for the special purpose of allowing new garages to be built near the residential and business districts of the The building department of every borough will issue permits aa a matter of course for garages placed In unrestricted districts. It Is evident that garages should not be allowed to go everywhere they wlrh on retail business streets. In many parts of city, especially the outlying ii lets, there ure hundreds of exn-in'-i of where bright retail buslnesj Mock have been almost ruined by th advent of one or two garages before zoning went Into effect. The city, In passing the zoning law, recognized that It Is sometimes desirable to allow garages In business blocks, and to this end the Board of Estimate provided In the ordinance that In unv block where there 1 already a public garage or stable the Board of Appeals has the power to allow a new garage. Method of Procedure.

The regular method of procedure for the proposed garage owner to submit hi plans to the Building Department. This bureau notes that the locality la a business district, and the owner la thereupon free to take all of the paper to the Board of Appeals. The Board ot Appeal then puts the case on Its calendar and fixes a time for a hearing, notice of which Js given to the surrounding property owner. If then It appears to the Board of Appeal that there I another public gsrago or publio stable tn the same block and that there will not be substantial Injury to the surrounding property If a new garage Is allowed, then the permit I Issued. This method tends to segregate garage.

In parts of business streets where they, do th least harm. It must remembered in tuts connection that the zoning map show ninny streets as business street which are lined with a fair proportion of residences. This Is especially the ease along surface car streets. It I not generally known that public garages ran he built under certain circumstance In residential districts. This tan only take place, however, where the surrounding owners of residential property are prnctleally unanimous In favor of allowing the public garage.

It whs recognized by the Board of Estimate when the law was passed that some residential district might delr a By ALLEN RIDGWAY. Glass of every kind has become so common an object of use that Its scarcity and confinement to decora tive purpose in the early years of Its Invention have been lost sight of by th general public. Ther are, however, om who are stilt conscious of the earliest use of glass, for they are occupied In putting it to that use today. The first Illustration that will come to mind Is the colored church windows, with their intricate and painfully worked out allegories, all told In little piece of chemically prepared glass. In addition to being found in church windowsso prevalent Is the desire nowadays for beautiful or artistic public buildings and homes decorative glass of many kinds, of which tho ancients were unaware, will be found In halls, homes and department stores.

The First (iluss. These all date, In purpose, to the Intricate mosaics of gluss that were found In the palaces of Egypt and the villas of Rome when antiquarians began to study the subject. They continue tho history of shaped ani colored glass that was at one lime almost the history of Venice. In those days people had no glazed windows In their homes! Gins was used for decoration when In omo climates windows were mere silts between massive stones, narrow so as to keep out the weather and to foil enemes who might choose the apertures as targets for cannon balls or clothyard arrows. Iron grills of srtistlc design were placed before theso openings, but nothing was placed the spaco through which was possible to see.

One of the most surprising things for the modern mind to learn Is that at one period In the making of glass the use of It in windows was penal Ized by heavy fines so precious was considered. The craft was subject ed to till' manner of discriminatory legislation, or rather royal edicts. meant chiefly to keep the secrets of glass-making from being spread to other cities or countries. Nuturslly the quantity eC glita that was available was restr.ffed hy these measures, and often Its qualily suffered well, for the abnence ot exact knowledge did not keep tho ambitious from trying to make glass Many Kinds of This shows the origin of and emphasizes, by contrast, the wealth ol glasa that la available today. Chem istry and experimentation in the Industry have revealed many Inventions.

It Is Impossible -to catalogue all the kinds of glasa that might be mentioned under the bend of decora tion. Most of the large glass companies have representatives and warehouses within genernjly accessible distance, where urh Information may be obtained In detail, with advice as to It use. I'ndmibtedly msny builders would benefit from such Information, Just as a few have done, When glass was first msde ther NiHJirsMeiis.i "Ati V.
