The Bolsheviks began carrying out this plan immediately after seizing power in Russia in October of 1917. They undertook the first attempts in Finland already in 1918, where civil war had broken out, as well as in the Baltic nations. In 1919 an attempt was made at provoking an uprising in Berlin, in March of the same year a government coalition was formed in Hungary with the participation communists, and in June of 1919 an attempt was made at a coup in Vienna. With the aim of transferring the revolution to other European countries, in March 1919, the Bolsheviks founded Comintern – the Third International, which was formally an independent organisation, but in practise functioned according to the guidelines of the Political Office of the communist party. One of its “branches” was the Communist Polish Workers Party (later: the Communist Party of Poland), which originated even earlier – in December 1918. From the perspective of Poland’s independence, a highly significant issue in relations with the eastern neighbour, was determining the course of the eastern border. During this time Central Europe was occupied along the belt from the Baltic Sea to the Sea of Azov, by the German army, which only began retreating after entering into a ceasefire in Compiegne on 11 November 1918.

    Manhattan Offi ce Market 1 ST QUARTER 2016 REPORT A NEWS RECAP AND MARKET SNAPSHOT Pictured: 915 Broadway Looking Ahead Finance Department’s Tentative Assessment Roll Takes High Retail Rents into Account Consumers are not the only ones attracted by the luxury offerings along the city’s prime 5th Avenue retail corridor between 48th and 59th Streets where activity has raised retail rents. The city’s Department of Finance is getting in on the action, prompting the agency to increase tax assessments on some of the high-profi le properties. A tentative tax roll released last month for the 2016-2017 tax year brings the total market value of New York City’s real estate to over $1 trillion — reportedly for the fi rst time. The overall taxable assessed values for the city would increase 8.10%. Brooklyn’s assessed values accounted for the sharpest rise of 9.83% from FY 2015/2016, followed by Manhattan’s 8.47% increase. Although some properties along the 5th Avenue corridor had a reduction in valuations the properties were primarily offi ce, not retail according to a reported analysis of the tentative tax roll details. Building owners have the opportunity to appeal the increase; but an unexpected rise in market value — and hence real estate taxes, will negatively impact the building’s bottom line and value. Typically tenants incur the burden of most of the tax increases from the time the lease is signed, and the landlord pays the taxes that existed before the signing; but in some cases the tenant increase in capped, leaving the burden of the additional expense on the landlord.

White, architect with Buttrick, White & Burtis and great-grandson of Stanford White, and representatives of the Murray Hill Association, the New York Landmarks Conservancy, the Beaux Arts Alliance, and the Historic Districts Council. A member of the 23 Park Avenue Realty Corporation, owner of the building, spoke in support of the designation. There were no speakers in opposition to this designation. At its September meeting Manhattan Community Board Six passed a resolution in support of the designation. The Commission has received a letter from the Robbs' great­ granddaughter, Katherine C.

Hampden Robb and his wife Cornelia Van Rensselaer Robb, this elegant and imposing structure is considered one of the finest urban residences designed by Stanford White of the prominent architectural firm of McKim, Mead & White and was one of the earliest Renaissance Revival townhouses by White.

  • Sickness Frequency Among Industrial Employees.' Disease Prevalence Among Wage-Earners During the First Half of the Year 192@
    PUBLIC HEALTH REPORTS VOL 35 DECEMBER 3, 1920 No. 49 SICKNESS FREQUENCY AMONG INDUSTRIAL EMPLOYEES.' DISEASE PREVALENCE AMONG WAGE-EARNERS DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR 192@. In accordance with plans which the Public Health Service is de- veloping with the aid of a committee of the American Public Health Association, for the collection, tabulation, and publication of infor- mation concerning the prevalence of disease among the wage-earning population,2 the following tables are presented for the first half of the year 1920. The figures have been supplied by sick-benefit asso- ciations of tlhe employees of certain plants which are cooperating with the Public Health Service by reporting currently the cases for which sick benefits were paid. The tabulations herewith presented include those cases which caused disability for one week or longer; hence only the more serious illnesses are recorded. In subsequent publications the sickness re- ports from associations recording illnesses of shorter duration will be included. The present publication is intended as the first of a series of publications of industrial morbidity statistics which, it is hoped, will increase m voltune, completeness, and accuracy. Only a few of the associations have reported their morbidity ex- perience for the entire six months' period. A number submitted their first report in May or June. Others which began to report earlier were unable at the time the figuires were tabulated to submit complete statistics for the later months, owing to the unsettled status of some of their cases. For these reasons the statistics at the present time are not continuous for the entire period, and the changes in the associations considered from month to montlh made impracticable the computation of sickness frequency rates for the six months comnbined, though it is feasible to compute the rates for each montlh separately.
