Building to rise higher at Madison Square tower
The Metropolitan Life Insurance building at Madison Square will gain four more floors, reaching fifty four stories with two basements. Its new tower will surpass the Singer Building in height, with the roof eighty eight feet above the Singer and seventy feet above the sidewalk. Architects monitor the work as plans emerge for potentially 1000 foot structures. The Singer Building at 612 feet currently stands tallest in Manhattan. The extra floors will place the Metropolitan beyond immediate competition, with the steel frame visible from Prospect Park and New Jersey hills.

Westchester Temporary Home to Close It May Leave Children Homeless
The Westchester Temporary Home in White Plains plans to close after August 1, leaving 1 to 200 Protestant children in custody uncertain. Managers cited lack of county financial support and an insufficient maintenance fund as factors, despite higher per child payments to the county than to other institutions. Adverse ruling in Yorkville court denied a warrant to collect support for a child in care, with Magistrate Butts noting no right for the Children's Society to collect such money from parents.
