Tt was necessary for Lieut.-Gov. Robert F. Wagner, as chairman of, the commission, to rap sharply for! onder several times during the course of @ passage-at-arms between the champions of the taxpayers and city officials. Tho fact that the hearing| was convened to obtain views on how to avoid the multiplicity of in- apections of buildings by the various city departments, did not deter the Volunteer inquisitors from getting into the record the announcement that their’ particular organization was building more homes than any other organization, and that, in their opinion, centralization of city in- spections did not always mean the saving ‘of money. “The lone woman member of the commission, Miss Mary E. Dryer.’ had a seat on the end of the Judge's| bench, beside Chairman Wagner, | Alfred EK. Smith, Edward E. Jack-! son and’ Lawrence M. D. McGuire.

By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. ‘That in too many instances woman still remains a slave, a victim of the tyranny of the hearth; that the young girl is frequently educated for nothing but marriage and, if she fails to marry, is rated as an, infertor being by society; that it is unfair to force a wife to become an unwilling mother—there you have outlined some of the cruel disabilities laid upon the women of today, according to M. Eugene Brieux, distinguished playwright and member of the French Academy of “Immortals.” But {s the modern American woman the victim of these conditions? M. Brieux frankly confesses his ina- pility to answer this question, for he has spent only a few days in New York. Naturally enough, the injured VSRXGTO aaa: «and unhappy women who move through his mordant dramas are French women, and it is woman's plact in Continental civill- zation which he considers so unjust. Tt seetus to me that in this country we are much better off, even if some of us haven't the'vote and a few things like tiat. To Mrs. Mary ‘Adamson, George McAneny, President of the Board of Aldermen, and Ttobert E. Simon, representing a num- ber of real estate and civic organiza- tions. Abraham I. Elkus, counsel for the Commisafon, examined the witnesses. He explained the Commission had adopted no plan of its own, but that fer the purpose of discussion, had placed. its ideas as to the remedy for existing conditions in the form of a tentative bill. He said the Commis- @ion .hoped manufacturers, owners, joyers of labor and city and te officials would come forward th their, views at this and sub- it sessions of the hearing, thus evebling the Commission to recom- fend to the next Legislature, con- ‘veming in January, a bill that will do away with the duplications of in- spection that now bother owners, builders and manufacturers. “I am very much in favor of some pian that will do away with the multi- y of inspections,” said City ‘ berlain Bruere. “If the func- fens now acattered through the varl- departments are concentrated un- one head, a man who puts up a -will know how to do it right. <time thie central standard bureau be under the control of the r, but for the present, the prob- could be handled by each Bor- President.” Mr, Bruere eaid he did not favor (eine all this at once, but believed tte change should be gradual.
