The building is at Fourth .Btreet, a short distance from the Asch Building, where a fire in March, 1911 cost 147 lives. Since that disaster workers in the Broadway building Dave had a fire drill once a week. When a repairer's torch set fire to- day to grease on the machinery of an @levator on the Brondway side of the building and filled the shaft with smoke William Renahan, chief en- Bineer, sent the other two Broadway elevators and three ®n the Fourth Street side to the top floor.

Commissioner Dillon is now engaged elements necessary to meet the pub- lo needs. Also, the Housewives’ Protective As- sociation is co-operating with Mr. Dillon and prominent logislators to- ward securing a statute that will in- clude all the best provisions contained in the work of the Wicks committee as well as the results of Commis- sioner Dillon's long experience. Every effort will be put forth by the Housewives’ Protective Associa- tion to secure in this revised legiala- | tion means that will actually reduce the cost of living. Among these rellef elements, many of which have been already proposed by the housewives in these columns, are the following: Establish municipal markets. Determine reasonable prices by municipal sal¢ of foods Storage of foods for the shortest period possible.

The association will also present its findings in the interest of the housewives before the hearing in Al- bany next week. The chief change in the proposed Food Billi will be to combine various State departments now in existence in view of co-ordinating the work. Thus it is deemed advisable to for- mulate one commission—namely, th Commission of Agriculture, Foods and Markets, which will include the C minston ot Agriculture, the Com-| missioner of Foods and Markets and @ new Finance Commissioner, who will be Chairman—all to be appointed by the The one seeming motto of the re-; vised food legisiation is to “take hold! }and do someth rather than mere-| | ly create machinery and investigate. | _ Everybody is tired to death of endiess inquiry and proposed plans.
