"LOWER RENTS" AS A CITY SLOGANU-z-r.-z-z.-7. went the bell
every five minutes through-
out the lower rents exhibit of
the New York Congestion
Committee. "Every time this
bell rings." explained a pla-
card, "land values increase
$1,000 in New York. Who
gets it? Land speculators.
Who makes it? You. when
you pay your rent."
Oral Hygiene journal, January, 1914
The exhibit must have run for over a year, because I found a reference to a speech Mayor Gaynor gave on "The Single Tax" there on February 17, 1913.
THe exhibit was at 29 Union Square.
