Fred T. Ley & Company will be the builders. In discussing this important project with a representative of the Record and Guide this week, Mr. Ley stated that it ii^ was planned to commence active construction about May 1.

The tentative plans provide for banking facilities on the first ffiST 1 L.-' f*' fife ' .^Ss:!™^"**' floor and basement and a trust company is now negotiating for this space for a branch office. The facades of the French building will be probably of marble or limestone to the height of the third floor, above which face brick and architectural terra cotta will be em ployed. Mr. French recently stated that this operation will involve an outlay of approximately $2,500,000 and that work would be started as soon as possible so that the building would be completed and ready for occupancy early next autumn. Mayor Hylan announced on Tuesday that he had named A. J. W. Hilly, a lawyer of 302 Broadway, chairman of the Mayor's Committee on Rent Profiteering, to succeed Nathan Hirsch, who resigned when the mayor failed to give the committee an appropriation of $30,000 to carry on its work during 1920. At the same time the mayor created a new committee, but named two of those who have served since its inception. These are Peter J. Brady and Edward L. Hannah, both labor leaders. The new members are Mrs. Oliver Harriman, of 830 Park avenue, and Albert Sokolski, «iiii?li! > a real estate dealer at 220 Broadway. The members of the committee replaced by the two latter appointees are Henry Bloch, attorney, and Rev. A. Ray Petty, pastor of the Judson PROPOSED BUILDING AT MADISON AVE. AND 41ST ST.
