ot ttuiidings and the reguiauou and restriction of tne location or traues ana i inu us tries tlirouga detennmed districts for specined purposes, wnicb has been introduced in the Legislature, is being cous.uered by tne Manufacturers Council of the Chamber of Commerce. Tne bill, wnicn was ino-ouueed by Senator William ii. Hul, of tfinguainion, and Assemoiyman Ueorge A. i-earon, ot Syracuse, con tern upon ail cities tne same powers wnicn are contained in the New lork city charter, it provides lor tne regulation and limitation of the heigut anu buia of buildings Hereafter erected in any city, and tue regulation and determination of the area ot yards, courts and other spaces. For this purpose cities are empowered to divide tnemseives into districts.

Another provision permits cities to regulate and restrict the location of trades and industries and the location of bui dings designed for specified use. A city, according to the provision, may di- iota uiSiriCL anu pres-riDe for each district the trades and industries that shall bo excluded subjected to special regulations, abd the uses for which buildings may be erected or altered. The bill has received the indorsement of the recent Conference of Mayors and Other City It is announced to be purely a city-planning measure, and not revolutionary in any sense, but rather permissive. The owners of and dealers in realty in New York city are said to have indorsed the action of the city administration there to restrict the use of property and limit the height of buildings. THREE VARIATIONS GRANTED Rochester Firms Exempted from Day-of-Kest-in-Seven Law.

The granting of three variations from Section 8-a of the New York state labor law to Rochester employers is recorded in the current issue of the Bulletin of the State Industrial Commission. The variations have been granted from the one-day-ot-rest-in-seven provision to the Brighton lace Dairy Company, the Hof-man plant of tie T. H. Symington Company and the Brighton Cold Storage Company. iSection 8-a provides that employers of labor shall allow all persons in their employ, except those in certain exempted classes, "at least twenty-four hours of rest in every calendar week." However, employers with whose methods of business this provision seriously disagrees are allowed, by an amendment to the section, to apply to the Industrial Board of the commission for exemption and this is allowed to grant variations at its discretion so long as the spirit of the law and justice is adhered to.

The amendment reads, in part: If there shall be practical difficulties or' unnecessary hardship in carrying out the provisions of this act. or nilpn lions adopted by the Industrial Board thereunder, the Industrial Board shall have power to make a variation from the requirements of this act. or any rule or regulation adopted by the board thereunder, if the spirit of the act shall be observed and sub- Btantial justice done.

tP.M. 220 FlJ: UNIO 13 THIRD OF VHAT OWNERS ASKED Commission on Property I for Highland to NO REPORT ON SALARIES Special Committee Not to Hake Par-' tial Report To-night and May Not Recommend General Increase as Expected Two Final Ordinances To-night's meeting of the Common Council will hear a decision of commissioners of appraisal on property wanted toy the city for improving the entrance to Highland ark. At an expense of the city acquires three plots of land at Mount Hope avenue and Boni-vard street. Commissioners Richard E. White, attorney; Morris D.

Knapp and Robert A. Badger filed the decision late yesterday afternoon with Albert L. Shepard, firt assistant corporation counsel. It gives the three property owners affected only about one-third of the amounts asked. The Leland-Weston-Lowe Company, monument makers, have property on the northeast corner which fronts fifty feet on Mount Hope avenue and is 120 feet deep.

The company a-ked, through Attorney Arthur E. Sutherland, $25,000. The commission granted payment of $14,500, and this the property owners must pay off a mortgage of and taxes for the new improvement of Boni-vard street. Ask Given O. 'Schied Sons, monument makers, on the southeast corner," have property that fronts fifty-two feet on Mount llopo avenue and is 120 feet deep.

Their attorneys, Chester F. Kiehel and Walter H. Hill, asked $35,000. Payment of was granted, the firm to pay improvement taxes. A strip of lond owned by John B.

Y. Wrarner, fronting thirty feet on 'Bonivard street and extending back 120 feet, also was acquired. Through Harvey F. Remington Mr. Warner a ked $1,850.

Ho will receive $920 and must pay taxes on the improvement. The acqquisition of the new property will enable the city to make the Mount Hope avenue entrance to Highland Park equally as beautiful as that of any of tha city parks. The buildings will be razed, the land graded and sodded, and tree set out. This probably will be done this year. The (final ordinance authorizing tha purchase was passed on November 23, 19-5.

Seven hearings took p'ace, the first meeting being held on October 11th last year. Proceedings began, however, on September 8, 1016, and the commission was appointed on September 22d, in that year. Lyman G. Otis, who since has died, was a member of the original commission. No Report on Salaries.

Contrary to expectations, the special committee on standardiz ng and revising salaries of city employees has decided not to make a partial report recommending the increase of tbe pay of laborers from $1.70 to $2 and from $2 to $2.50 a day, at the meeting of the Ctmmon, Council to-night. It is said that the committee will make a report, probably at a special meetins of the Common Council next week or at an adjourned meeting, recommending tho increase of the wages of laborers and some increases for clerks and employees of the city who are now drawing less than $1,500, but there is no indication that the report will favor a general increase in the pay of city employees to meet the higher cost of living. The Salary Committee ia engaged in a general survey of its subject. It is not expected that a full report by it will be made until next fall, but a partial report advocating increases in the pay of minor employees is likely to be made before January 31st, which is the last day on which salary changes for the year can be made. No General Increase.

It has been decided by the committee to make a substantial advance ia the pay of men classe das laborers, who include not only the street laborers but many men in the various departments, particularly in the Waterworks Bureau. Small increases also will be recommended for the low grade clerks, but none for tbe higher grade of employees, according to the information given out by members of the committee, of which Alderman Del'otter is chairman. i Inasmuch as no report is to be present-1 ed to-night the Common Council, if it I to consider the matter, must adjourn some date between now and the last day of the month or call a special meeting. Two final ordinances are to be consid ered. One calls for the exensioa of Maplewood terrace, at an estimated cost of $1,000, and the other makes the L- shaped blind alley, extending from Ston street to within a hundred feet of Court street, a public alley.

No assessment required, and the ordinance needs to be acted upon but once. The map providing for the change was filed yesterday afternoon with Corporation Counsel Cunningham by Arthur L. Vedder, superintendent of surveys. A year is allowed tor presenting claims for damages by property-owners. Pall Caused Engineer's Death.

Argument, Says Hiss Chittenden "The principal work of the Societj Opposed to Woman Suffrage in the coming campaign is to get the message across to the voters," said Miss Alice Hill Chittenden, state president of the association, in an address before the New Vork State Council in the assembly room of the Century Club yesterday aft; crnoon. Mary G. Kildreth, chairman of the legislative work, emphasized the statement by saying that the voters were confused between the state amendments and the Federal amendments, that the passing of the Federal amendment would, mean their disfranch.sement, as in their states they had- voted the question down and if this amendment was passed it would be done 'by a few politicians, with no chance of resubmisskn to the voters. Miss Chittenden said that the antis had felt after the overwhelming victory in 1915 that their work was ended, but the suffragists were not satisfied, aDd now the antis find that they have another active campaign on their hands. She said that the anti slogan was to be "Seven glorious victories and no defeats in tiiir- teen months," citing the A)ig majorities by which New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Dakota and West Virginia in that time had declared against tb.2 ballot for women.

Hard Work Still Needed- JShe warned the women, however, not to be overconuident, but to work as hard as they did betore and double the n.a- joritics, and he mide a strong pita for obtaining signatures on the euro.lmnt cards, saying that the voters and politicians really want, to give the women what they wish and receive manj petitions from the auffragists, while the women opposed are lax about signing petitions. Just how the workers were to get the message across to the vo.ers seemed to be the perplexing question, as the antis have not the fund: that have made so much work 'by the suffragists possible; nor will the anti speakers mount the stump on the street corners. One of the th.ngs possible, it was thought, is to warn the housewife against fal.ing", for the new suffrage argument that women vote the cost of living will be re duced. She urged writing to the members of Congress asking them to vote against the amendment. A resolution was adopted then and there to send telegrams from this meeting to the members of Congress from this district.

Several of the speakers paid splendid tribute to the work be.ng done lor the. cause by' Congressman and Mrs. Wads-worth. Antis a Reconstructive Force." Miss Chittenden believes that the antis do not appreciate the bigness of the work. She said: "We have back of us a constructive ideal on which the country was fcunded.

We are trying to save it from radicalism and we want to be recognizee as a reconstructive force in this priod of unrest. The suffragists say suffrage is not an attack on the home, but we believe it is, for the family should be the unit. Woman suffrage would make the individual the unit, and principles on which the country is founded would be lost." Mrs. Frederick Fiske, of Bufta.o, a delegate to the national convention recently held in Washington, gave her report. She said that one of the th ngs that impressed her was the way in which Mrs.

Garret, of Maryland, prefaced her address, "Ladies, gentlemen and suffragists." The state Executive Committee, consisting of the county chairmen, met yesterday morning and made a few changes in the constitution and 'by-laws, and elected Gurney Curtis, of Rochester, and Miss Church, of Albany, as the members at large of the state Executive Committee to attend the fortnightly meetings in New. York. Visitors Guests at Luncheon. At 1 o'clock luncheon was served to those from out of town, the members of the local society and a few invited guests.
