Buried in Committee, It Is Said, With Consent of Pres- ident La Guardia. Although he has Inarned from no less authority than Health Commis- sioner Copeland that there are 100,000 homeless families In this city, August Ferrand, Republican leader of the Board of Aldermen, declared to-day he has no proof that an emergency ¢x- ists in the housing situation, “There is an ordinance whose pro- visions for tax exemption would re- Neve this diagracefui, intolerable con- dition,” said Democratic Aldermanic Leader William T. Collins, “but the Republican members of the General Weilfare Committee, where the meas- ure now reposes, powitively refuse to report it out. Aldermanic President La Guardia himself ts blocking the @rdiuaunce 1 refer to, It cannot be called a partisan measure, for its sponsor is Manhattan Borough Prest- dent Henry H. Curran, who is a Re- publican.” The ordinance, whose passage has thus far been prevented by Alder- manic President La Guardia and K- publican Floor Leader Ferrand, pro- vides for tax exemption during @ ten- year period on the basis of $5,000 un t on’ dwelling houses ony, A @ingle family house would have a $5,000 tax exemption, a two-family Jpoune $10,000 exemption, and so on. Authority for the city to grant such exemption was written into the emer- gency rent laws paased at the special ee session of the Les lost sumn- mer, Alderman ted that the xemption ordin party polley. ns alone nee,” re r Alderman Hau- at, Is one of for oppo torted Ferrand, " bert, a stanch Den the most yis measur. to vote as a mem- Commit- an ordinance y be taken on Pvening wtked Ferrand ne replied ber tee to report oF In order th “Why are you to .this "he wan asked © 1 do not believe that an t to ware millions rty exists at ed Ferrand, king. this as- g statement Ferrand sald he "d that there were 100,000 rant the exemp of dollars’ wort the present tim thout homes t you regard a 100,000 shortage of hombs as an emergency?” Ferrand waa asked. “It Tam canvinced there is a short- age as great as that, I suppose there would be an emergency,” Ferrand ad- mitted. He quoted a report for 1920 from the Brooklyn Bureau of Bulld- ings to the effect that during that period 3,518 dwellings bad been com- pleted there, and 6,714 families taken care of, “L am obtaining simflar data from the other boroughs,” ald Ferrand, “and hope to have it on hand by next Friday, when thé General Welfare Committee will take up the Curran ordinance.” When Health Commissioner Cope- land prepared his figures showing that there were approximately 100,000 families without proper housing ac- commodations, he took into consider- ation What had. been accomplished in Brooklyn in the building line. There- fore, his estimate of the homeless je the present number of those who have not been avcommodated in all five boroughs, If the 100,000 hometess were equal- ly apportivned among the five bor- oughs each borough would have a 20,000 allotment. tracting Ferrand’s figures there would still bé about 15.000 homeless families In one borough. Dr Coper land issued a report recently show- ing how these homeless people are managing to live. Most of ther are crowded together in tenements un- der conditions that wonld never be Riven after «ub- | th Ton Evaew inG permitted by normal time sition. Nut only does o xist In the housing situ iy grow'ng more dosperate day by day, There ts practically no building now, as The Evening World pointed out ‘yesterday In a report. of the Building Bureau of the Tenement House Department, and a new baby comes into the we very six min- utes in this city. plans for tene- pregency but it ment hotises—wi includes all dwellings sbove the two-family houses—were filed in Manhattan in January.

Kurz, sixty, owner of a print shop at No. 314 First Avenue, overcome by smoke in a fire which he discovered in the rear of his store, was rescued to- day by Patrolman John Mitchell of the Bast 22nd Street Station, He was then arres' for alleged violation of the Sullivan law for having two revolvers, one of thom loaded, in the establish- ment.
