"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, 1914THe exhibit was at 29 Union Square.
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.
