David Hirschticld, Commissioner of Accounts, asserted yesterday. Commissioner Ilirschfiold announced that landlords reported to bo raising rents unduly would be summoned before him to show cause why th.) assessments on their proporties should not be raised. Tho first landlord haa been subpoanaed to appear this morning and five others havo been summoned for Friday. Com? missioner Hirschfield said: "I have been investigating the mat? ter of assessments, and it strikes me there is a decided rolation between the rents received to rhigh priced apart? ments and the amount assessod against such propcrties for purposes of taxa tion. The value of real estate is its earning capacity, and by theo hearings wo may get at the value of the prop erties. If the earning capacity is in? creased the city is entitled to have the pronerty assessed for what it is worth. Reduced Tax Rate Suggestcd "The net result of assessing the i propertics for what they are worth will : be to increase the city's taxable prop ; erty and decreaso the tax rate. I am : not concerned about frightening tho i landlord. Where tho taxes are ade | quatoly distributed tho tenant and tho i smaller owners are going to got tho i benefit. It requires only an added as j sessment of about $850,000 to dooreaso ! the tax rate ono mill. If we can in ' ereaso tho assessment for tho city ; $200,000,000 the tax rate will bo re ducod 23.52 cents. "The tax assessment is made each ! year and thorefore increases in rents , may be followod almost at once by : proportionate incroases in assessments. | I will invite the Mayor's committee on I rent profiteering to sit with mo at j these* hearings, and if they see fit to j make a suggestion or ask questions, : I certainly shall not resont it." Mr. llirschfield said he would bo glad to receive information on rent increases from any source. "When wo hear rents are raised we have a right to inquire whether assessments ought not to bo raised," he said. "Inapectors : will bc sent to investigato conditions ; of properties involved. When a land? lord lets his property run down and I raises the rents thero is something . wronc" Names of Landlords Withhcld The first case involves increase of : rents from $45 to $70 a month. The names of the landlords summoned were not made public. i An appeal for cooperation made by fhairman N'athan Hirsch of the . -Mayor's Committee on Rent Proftteer ing to Charles F. Murphy, Tammaiiv i leader. was read yesterday at a meet? ing of tho Democratic County Com j mittee at Tammany Hall. The com mittee adopted resolutions direeting j its law committee to consider ways whereby, through cooperation of the. committee or its members or its mem? bers or by anv direct action, early re- : I sumption of building onerations may ! i be stimulated, particularly as to structureg offering housing to families of small monns. Abram I. Elkus, chairman of the : Stato Roconstruction Commission, issued a statement regarding th? or dinance introduced before the Board of Aldermen direeting the city to ac quire lands. erect buildings and sell bonds to pay for them. "We do not wtsh to record the commission as op posed to government plans on housing ' but stndles of government plans made bv the housing committee do not dis- j close any promise of immediate re- ' l'.ef which the present rent situation ! requires. An examination of tbe mu? nicipal plan discloses serious leiral difliculties which would cause delay | and any state plan would require con [ stitutional amendment.

Thc latter church occupied only a part of its holdings, the corner of Broadway and Rector Street being occupied by an inn. This ! plot was sold in 1809 to "tho Rector Church Ward,.n and Vestrymen of Grace Church." and a house' of wor ] ship soon afterward graced the sitc. About 18,'JV, "from various causes the present site of the church having be ; come unsuitable, it was deemed ex pedient to sell tho same and. with the , proceeds, to purchase other church lands, etc." Michael Simpson, of Bos? ton, a merchant, purchased the site in ? 184.7.
