Getting  Set  for  1922! 


1922  is  going  to  be  a  fine  year  for  business.  If  we  all  think  so,  say  so,  and  ACT  so,  we  can 
make  it  so.  It  is  encouraging  to  see  how  many  far-sighted,  long-headed  business  men  have 
already  drafted  their  plans  for  an  intensive  advertising  campaign — they  are  getting  set  for 
1922  and  at  the  crack  of  the  pistol  will  be  off  to  a  lead  that  their  less  aggressive  competitors 
can  never  wear  down.    And  you~YOUR  schedule,  like  theirs,  must  surely  include

RECORD    AND    GUIDE 


Mayor  Hj'lan's  Second  Administration 

Mayor  Hylan  was  in  happy  mood  last  Monday  when  he 
entered  upon  his  second  term  as  Chief  Executive  of  this 
great  city.  Much  can  fairly  be  said  in  praise  of,  and  less 
in  criticism  of,  his  second  inaugural  address.  In  most 
respects  Mayor  Hylan  put  his  best  foot  forward  and  un- 
questionably he  pleased  the  great  majority  of  New  Yorkers 
by  his  call  to  everyone  to  "Boost  the  Metropolis."  Mr. 
Hylan  contends,  and  undoubtedly  he  is  right,  that  there  has 
been  too  much  knocking  of  this  imperial  city  by  some  of  its 
residents.  It  would  be  a  great  deal  better,  as  he  points  out, 
if  the  knockers  would  turn  boosters  and  thus  make  unani- 
mous the  effort  for  a  greater  and  better  New  York. 

Mayor  Hylan  talked  good  common  sense  to  his  heads  of 
departments  and  to  all  other  city  employees.  "Our  plain 
duty  to  the  people,"  he  said,  "is  to  see  to  it  that  taxation 
is  reduced  to  the  minimum  expenditure  required  for  an  eco- 
nomical operation  of  government.  This  is  common  hon- 
esty. With  this  in  mind,  every  item  of  departmental  ex- 
penditure must  be  limited  to  the  lowest  point  consistent 
with  effective  service ;  all  unnecessary  positions  should 
be  abolished  and  the  employment  of  any  individual  whose 
services  are  of  scant  or  doubtful  value  should  be  discon- 
tinued forthwith."  These  are  laudable  sentiments  and  the 
Record  and  Guide  hopes  that  the  Mayor  will  enforce 
them. 

Mayor  Hylan's  inaugural  address  would  not  have  been 
complete,  of  course,  if  he  had  failed  to  utter  a  new  protest 
against  the  heavy  burdens  imposed  upon  the  people  of  this 
city  by  the  State  rulers  at  Albany.  His  demand  for  a 
greater  measure  of  Home  Rule  in  the  metropolis  undoubt- 
edly is  backed  by  a  large  majority  of  our  citizens.  This 
fact  was  amply  attested  at  the  recent  election  and  it  seems 
reasonable  to  expect  that  the  Mayor's  desires  will  have  due 
consideration,  because  the  commission  recently  appointed 
to  revise  the  charter  gives  evidence  of  its  purpose  to  pro- 
vide genuine  Home  Rule  for  New  York  City.  Public  in- 
terest in  this  matter  has  been  so  thoroughly  aroused  that 
New  Yorkers  will  be  satisfied  with  nothing  less.  Mayor 
Hylan  expressed  the  belief  that  if  New  York  had  enjoyed 
heretofore  the  same  right  to  govern  itself  as  prevails  in 
second  and  third-class  cities  up  the  State,  it  would  have 
been  possible  for  the  city  administration  to  effect  econo- 
mies and  to  make  more  efficient  the  transaction  of  city 
business. 

On  the  same  day  that  Mayor  Hylan  began  his  second 
term  in  the  City  Hall,  another  well-known  Mayor,  Mr. 
Edwin  W.  Fiske,  entered  upon  his  ninth  term  as  Mayor  of 
Mount  Vernon.  Mount  Vernon  adjoins  New  York  City 
on  the  north  and  conditions  there  are  not  dissimilar  from 
those  which  prevail  in  the  metropolis.  It  is  interesting  to 
note,  therefore,  that  Mayor  Fiske  started  out  by  reducing- 
his  own  salary  ten  per  cent,  along  with  that  of  several  other 
important  city  officials,  at  the  same  time  abolishing  several 
positions  which  he  considered  useless.  Reference  is  made 
to  this  action  of  the  Mount  Vernon  Mayor  because  it  illus- 
trates one  wa}'  in  which  Mayor  Hylan  can  give  that  moii- 


economical  government  of  which  he  treated  in  his  inau- 
gural address.  No  one  would  suggest,  of  course,  that  May- 
or Hylan  should  set  the  example  of  reducing  his  own  salary, 
but  he  could  accomplish  a  great  deal  for  the  taxpayers  of 
the  city  if  he  would  emulate  that  other  feature  of  Mayor 
Fiske 's  action  and  have  stricken  from  the  city  pay  roll  the 
name  of  every  unnecessary  employee.  Along  that  line  lies 
one  method  of  cutting  the  city  budget  down  to  a  figure  well 


within  the  legal  limit. 


Ambitious  Boston  and  the  Census 

Boston  has  been  importuning  the  Census  Bureau  to  re- 
vise its  count  of  population,  which  was  given  out  as  748,000. 
What  the  civic  authorities  of  the  Hub  want  is  for  the  cen- 
sus officials  to  include,,  in  their  enumeration  of  its  citizens, 
all  the  inhabitants  of  its  numerous  suburban  colonies  within 
a  radius  of  about  fifteen  miles  from  the  State  House.  If 
this  were  done,  Boston  would  have  a  population  of  1,772,254 
and  rank  as  fourth  city  in  the  country,  being  outnumbered 
only  by  New  York,  Chicago  and  Philadelphia,  instead  of 
seventh  in  line,  below,  Detroit,  Cleveland  and  St.  Louis. 

That  there  is  merit  in  the  contention  of  the  Mayor  and 
other  citizens  of  the  municipality  having  a  codfish  on  its 
C'  cutcheon  is  borne  out  by  the  action  of  the  National  Geo- 
graphic Society,  which  has  gone  on  record  as  favoring  the 
measurement  of  population  by  the  group  method  rather  than 
according  to  the  strict  demarkation  of  municipal  boundary 
lines. 

For  a  community  that  had  the  enterprise  and  hardihood 
to  successfully  bring  off  a  certain  celebrated  Tea  Party,  it 
is  inconceivable  that  Boston  will  not  eventually  find  a  way 
to  get  itself  higher  up  in  the  census  scale.  Chicago,  it  may 
be  certified,  took  in  the  whole  of  Cook  County  in  its  mad 
endeavor  to  minimize  New  York's  supremacy.  Other  cities 
have  gradually  garnered  voters  and  their  dependents  by  an- 
nexation. New  York,  it  may  be  admitted,  welcomed  Brook- 
lyn to  more  intimate  civic  association. 

Why  then  should  not  Boston  take  into  its  municipal 
Ijosom  Wellesley  Hills,  Newton,  Somerville.  Maiden, 
Duxbury,  Roxbury,  Lynn,  Brockton  and  other  out- 
lying but  closely  linked  communities?  Probably  this  com- 
jiaratively  easy  way  to  become  the  fourth  city  in  point  of 
population  has  never  appealed  to  the  conservatism  that  is 
figuratively  set  forth  by  a  century  or  more  of  addiction  to 
brown  bread  and  beans  for  Sunday  Morning  Breakfast. 


Miss  Mathews  Becomes  Register 

New  "S'orkers  in  general,  and  those  having  realty  inter- 
ests in  particular,  felt  a  special  interest  in  the  induction 
into  office  of  Miss  Annie  Mathews  as  Register  of  New  York 
(,"ounty  on  New  Year's  Day.  Register  Mathews  is  the  first 
woman  chosen  to  an  elective  office  in  New  York  County  or 
New  York  City,  which  is  a  notable  distinction  in  itself. 
Any  woman  who  attains  to  an  outstanding  position  in  so- 
ciety, business  or  public  affairs  becomes  an  interesting  per- 
sonality from  the  public  viewpoint.  To  be  the  first  of  her 
sex  to  gain  high  ofificial  position  makes  the  case  of  Miss 


RECORD    AND     GUIDE 


January  7,  1922 


Mathews  especially  interesting.  And,  it  must  be  admitted, 
the  special  touches  of  femininity  which  attended  her  inau- 
guration furnished  a  good  sign  in  themselves,  adding  as 
they  did  dignity  to  the  occasion  and  expanding  the  new 
spirit  which  was  reflected  in  the  adoption  of  equal  suffrage. 
The  office  of  which  Miss  Mathews  has  just  assumed  con- 
trol is  a  very  important  one,  and  its  successful  manage- 
ment calls  for  executive  ability  of  the  first  order.  The 
Record  and  Guide,  while  appreciating  fully  the  impor- 
tance of  the  Register's  office  to  the  realty  owners  which  it 
represents,  does  not  share  in  the  old-fashioned  belief  of 
some  that  the  business  of  the  office  can  be  handled  properly 
only  by  a  man.  On  the  contrary,  there  seemed  no  occasion 
for  uneasiness  during  the  recent  campaign  because  of  the 
fact  that  each  of  the  leading  political  parties  had  nominated 
as  its  candidate  for  Register  a  woman.    Miss  Mathews,  who 


won  the  election,  and  Miss  Boswell,  who  was  defeated, 
were  both  recognized  by  well-informed  citizens  as  women 
of  unusual  capabilities,  either  of  them  very  well  qualified 
to  conduct  successfully  the  important  office  to  which  they 
aspired. 

Register  Mathews  enters  upon  her  new  duties  with  the 
cordial  good  wishes  of  all  who  favor  competent  administra- 
tion of  public  affairs.  The  Record  and  Guide  is  confident 
that  she  will  prove  entirely  equal  to  her  new  opportunites, 
and  that  her  administration  will  give  satisfaction  to  all 
having  business  in  the  Register's  office,  and  at  the  same  time 
reflect  credit  on  her  sex.  New  York  City  has  many  women 
of  high  character  and  ability  filling  important  executive  po- 
sitions and  making  good  in  them,  just  as  Miss  Mathews, 
who  happens  to  be  the  first  of  them  to  assume  an  important 
public  office,  will  make  good  in  it. 


William  L.  De  Bost  Clears  Up  Facts  About  Macy  Site 


Editor  of  the  Record  and  Guide: 

I  have  read  with  much  interest  the  article  on  page  807  of  the 
Record  and  Guide:,  issue  of  December  24th,  on  the  new  records 
set  for  land  rentals  in  the  Metropolis.  Referring  especially  to 
that  portion  of  the  article  regarding  the  renewal  of  the  R.  H. 
Macy  &  Co.  leaseholds  on  Broadway,  West  34th  and  West 
3Sth  streets,  I  should  like  to  take  this  opportunity  of  correcting 
in  your  next  issue  some  errors  in  this  article,  especially  in 
respect  to  the  ownership  of  the  properties. 

The  firm  of  R.  H.  Macy  &  Co.  are  the  lessees  of  the  whole 
property  occupied  by  their  store  and  this  large  plot  is  divided 
into  twelve  individual  plots,  each  one  covered  by  different 
leases.  Mr.  Frederick  Brown  is  the  owner  in  fee  of  the  Plots 
Nos.  1317  Broadway  and  109  West  34th  street  and  115-121  West 
34th  street,  and  also  owns  a  one-quarter  interest  in  the  Plots 
Nos.  1323  Broadway  and  113  West  34th  street,  141-147  West 
34th  street  and  134-138  West  3Sth  street.  The  balance  of  the 
property,  with  the  exception  of  minor  interests  which  have 
been  acquired  by  R.  H.  Mac}^  &  Co.,  the  tenants,  is  owned  by 
the  Hegeman,  Aycrigg,  Grinnel,  Lillibridge  families  and  others 

Under  the  terms  of  these  twelve  leases,  the  first  twenty-one 
year  term  of  which  expires  May  1st,  1922,  it  was  necessary  to 
fix  the  rentals  for  the  next  term  of  twenty-one  years  by  arbi- 
tration and  the  arbitrators  were  instructed  to  fix  this  rent 
at  the  fair  rental  value  of  the  property. 

Mr.  Frederick  Brown  appointed  Mr.  Frank  D.  Ames  to  rep- 
resent him  in  the  two  plots  which  he  owned  in  fee  and  all  of 
the  other  owners  of  the  balance  of  the  property,  including  Mr. 
Frederick  Brown,  owning  a  one-quarter  interest  in  certain 
parcels,  appointed  Mr.  William  L.  De  Bost,  vice-president  of 
Cruikshank  Company,  to  represent  them  as  their  arbitrator 
and  R.  H.  Macy  &  Co.  appointed  Mr.  Lawson  Purdy  to  repre- 
sent  them   as   tenants   in    the    arbitration. 

As   Mr.  Ames   and   Mr.   De   Bost   could  not  agree  with    Mr. 


Purdy  as  to  the  fair  rental  value,  by  mutual  agreement,  they 
appointed  Mr.  Clarence  H.  Kelsey,  president  of  the  Title 
Guarantee  &  Trust  Company,  to  act  as  third  appraiser  or  um- 
pire and  by  this  process  an  agreement  was  finally  reached, 
fixing  the  rents  as  mentioned  in  your  article,  at  $395,000  per 
annum  net  for  twenty-one  years,  commencing  May  1st,  1922, 
or  a  total  rental  for  the  term  of  $8,295,000  net,  that  is,  the 
tenants  paying  taxes  and  all  other  charges. 

From  the  intensive  study  which  it  was  necessary  for  me  to 
give  to  this  property  during  the  arbitration,  and  which  lasted 
for  a  period  of  over  six  months,  I  concluded  that  the  site  of 
the  R.  H.  Macy  &  Co.  store  is,  without  doubt,  the  finest  loca- 
tion for  a  retail  store.  There  is  no  other  section  of  New  York 
which  is  reached  by  so  many  transit  lines;  the  Pennsylvania 
Railroad  station  is  within  a  block  of  the  property  and  it  is 
within  the  great  hotel  centre,  accommodating  thousands  of 
people  who   come  to  New  York  daily  to  shop. 

You  have  covered  in  your  article  the  activities  now  going  on 
in  the  neighborhood,  that  is,  the  new  lease  of  the  Saks'  sto;e 
and  the  old  Herald  Building,  but  an  inspection  of  the  location 
will  show  that  there  are  many  other  smaller  improvements 
now  actually  in  progress  or  in  contemplation,  both  on  34th 
street   and   adjacent   streets. 

I  was  prompted  to  write  this  letter  to  you  especially  for  the 
reason  that  your  article  gave  the  impression  that  R.  H.  Macy 
&  Co.  were  practically  the  owners  of  the  balance  of  the  prop- 
erty not  owned  by  Mr.  Frederick  Brown. 

The  following  law  firms  were  active  in  the  arbitration: 
Charles  M.  Bleecker,  49  wall  Street,  and  Eraser  &  Speer,  16 
Exchange  Place,  representing  the  majority  of  the  owners; 
Messrs.  Marks  and  Marks,  of  358  Fifth  Avenue,  representing 
Mr.  Brown ;  Wise  &  Seligsberg,  15  William  street,  representing 
R.-H.  Macy  &  Co.  Laurence  McGuire  and  Charles  F.  Noyes 
Co.  sold  the  interests  in  the  property  to   Mr.  Brown. 

New  York,  Dec.  27,  1921.  William  L.  De  Bost. 


Joseph  P.  Day  Reviews  Auction  Market  of  Past  Year 


Joseph  P.  Day,  in  discussing  the  reiuarl.able  interest  shown 
by  the  public  generally  during  1921  in  the  sale  of  building 
sites,  declared  that  the  year  just  closed  will  go  down  in  history  as 
a    record-breaking    auction    period. 

"Since  last  Spring,"  said  Mr.  Day,  "I  have  sold  more  lots  and 
houses  and  at  better  prices  than  ever  before,  and  the  totals 
of  my  sales  aggregate  a  volume  of  business  larger  by  many 
millions  of  dollars  than   in  any  other  corresponding  year. 

"After  one  of  the  most  strenuous  lot  sale  years  in  the  his- 
tory of  the  market,  it  seemed  a  fitting  climax  to  hold  the  record 
breaking  auction  sale  of  all  time  and  sell  1,898  houses  for  the 
United   States  Government. 

"Tlie  auction  lot  market  is  in  a  healthy  condition,  the  hous- 
ing shortage  being  a  large  contributing  factor.  Today,  the  de- 
mand is  far  from  satisfied.  The  "Build  Your  Own  Home"  move- 


ment is  well  under  way,  and,  in  my  opinion,  many  more 
thousands  of  lots  will  be  purchased  on  the  auction  block  for 
the  erection  of  new  homes. 

"Since  last  May  I  have  sold  about  13,000  lots,  located  in 
every  section  of  New  York  City  and  surrounding  territory — 
Manhattan,  the  Bronx,  Brooklyn,  Long  Island  City,  Nassau 
and  Westchester  counties,  and  New  Jersey.  These  lot  sales 
have  totaled  about  $28,000,000.  In  addition,  I  have  sold  about 
2,500  houses  for  almost  $7,000,000. 

"1920  was  a  record  year  in  the  auction  market  and  few  peo- 
ple thought  that  the  1921  totals  would  even  equal  it.  That  they 
were  mistaken  is  now  a  matter  of  history,  and  1921  will  cer- 
tainly go  down  as  a  banner  year.  The  home  and  lot  buying 
movement  is  in  full  swing.  The  demand  is  far  from  satis- 
fied  and   I    look   to   see   great   activity   during   the   next   year."

RECORD    AND     GUIDE 


Governor    Miller    Urges    Further    Economy   at  Albany 

In  Annual  Message  to  Legislature  of  1922  the  State  Executive  Outlines  Plan  to 

Lessen  Burden  on  Real  Estate  by  $22,500,000  i 

(Special  to  the  Record  and  Guide) 


Albany,  Jan.  4. 

IN  the  longest  annual  message  sent  from  the  Executive 
Chamber  in  recent  years,  Governor  Miller  today  advised 
the  Legislature  of  1922  as  to  the  condition  of  state  affairs 
and  his  suggestions  for  their  management  during  the  next  fis- 
cal year.  Adhering  to  the  policy  which  he  outlined  in  his 
message  to  the  Legislature  of  1921,  Governor  Miller  urged  fur- 
ther economies  in  state  expenditures  and  the  consolidation  of 
various  state  departments  not  effected  during  the  first  year 
of  his  administration. 

The  Governor  followed  an  established  custom  in  opening  his 
message  with  a  summary  of  the  state's  financial  condition. 
His  statement  showed  a  surplus  of  $43,613,077.85,  as  of  July  1, 
1921,  adding  that  this  greatly  exceeded  the  estimates  of  a 
year  ago.  After  pointing  out  that  the  departmental  requests 
for  the  next  fiscal  year  total  about  $145,000,000,  as  against 
$201,000,000  a   year   ago,   the   Governor  continued: 

If  the  appropriations  can  be  kept  within  approximately  $125,000,000  it  will 
only  be  necessary  to  levy  a  direct  tax  of  $12,181  895.49  for  debt  service,  thus 
relieving  real  estate  of  the  burden  of  the  direct  tax  of  $22,500  000  for 
teachers'  salaries.  That  result  can  be  obtained  without  impairing  the 
efficiency  of  any  activity  of  the  State,  provided  no  new  or  unusual  expendi- 
tures be  undertaken,  and  if  attained  the  public  business  will  then  be  upon 
such  a  basis  that  it  can  reasonably  be  expected  that  under  normal  condi- 
tions the  present  sources  of  revenue,  with  the  direct  tax  for  debt  service, 
will  be  adequate  to  meet  the  expenses  of  the  government  and  that  the 
normal  increase  in  such  revenue  will  adequately  provide  for  the  inevitable 
expansion  in   the  needs  of  the   State   government. 

It  is  not  just  to  the  taxpayers  to  accumulate  an  unnecessary  surplus, 
and  it  is  sound  policy  to  use  the  existing  surplus  to  tide  us  over  the 
present  period  of  lean  revenues.  The  total  amount  of  appropriations 
requested  by  each  State  department  will  be  transmitted  as  requested  with- 
out revision.  The  departmental  studies  made  by  the  newly  created  bureau 
set  up  by  the  Board  of  Estimate  and  Control  were  not  completed  in  time 
to  be  available  for  a  revision  of  the  requests  before  submitting  them  to 
the  Legislature.  Indeed,  those  studies  are  still  incomplete.  Detailed  reports 
of  examinations,  with  the  comments  thereon  by  department  heads,  are 
available   for  the  information  of  the   Legislature. 

The  requests  as  compiled  total  $145,019,665.08.  which  is  $56,624,627.35  less 
than  the  requests  submitted  last  year,  totaling  $201,644,292.43,  and  not 
including  requirements  which  had   to  be  met   of  $4,621,545.61. 

That  comparison  is  the  best  evidence  of  the  new  spirit  which  pervades 
the  public  administration  and  demonstrates  that  notwithstanding  the 
drastic  reductions  made  last  year  the  actual  needs  of  the  State  were  amply 
provided  for. 

"A  significant  absence  of  the  usual  requests  for  deficiencv  appropriations 
for  adijninistrative  expenses  will  also  be  noted.  Department  heads  and 
institutions  have  administered  theii*  functions  within  the  appropriations, 
and  instead  of  asking  for  deficiencies,  many  will  show  surpluses  at  the 
end  o   fthe  year. 

Governor  Miller's  message  contained  many  recommenda- 
tions of  importance,  not  only  as  to  the  consolidation  of  state 
departments,  but  urging  the  establishinent  of  a  central  pur- 
chasing body  to  buy  all  supplies  for  every  state  department 
and  institution;  open  competition  for  state  printing;  a  com- 
prehensive welfare  program;  obligatory  use  of  voting  ma- 
chines in  cities  of  the  first  and  second  class,  better  distribution 
and  regulation  of  the  water  power  of  the  State;  reforms  in 
the  operation  of  prison  industries,  and  the  sale  of  1,600  parcels 
of  non-revenue  producing  State  lands. 

Governor  Miller  gave  considerable  attention  to  the  subject 
of  taxation,  declaring: 

With  the  task  of  reducing  the  expenditures  of  the  State  government  to 
a  point  where  its  revenues  may  be  expected  to  keep  pace  with  its  expendi- 
tures nearing  completion  we  should  now  seriously  address  ourselves  to  the 
problem  of  removing  the  inequalities  and  injustices  nf  ou--  tax  laws  b\  a 
careful  revision  of  them.  This  is  a  task  which  must  be  .7,)proached  wiih 
caution  and  worked  out  by  degrees  so  as  to  produce  no  serious  deranur- 
ment  of  the  State's  revenues.  We  arc  not  confronted  with  the  necessity 
of  seeking  new  revenues.  The  construction  of  a  just  and  equitable  I  x 
system  is  our  problem.  The  report  paves  the  way  for  such  a  piece  of 
constructive  work,  which  I  trust  will  be  accomplished  as  soon  as  tl-e 
subject  has  received  the  consideration  which  its  importance  and  intricacy 
demand. 

Although  the  direct  State  tax  was  reduced  this  year  $12,802,815.94,  there 
was  tn  many  counties  little  net  reduction  in  taxation  and  in  some  counties 


there  were  actual  increases,  the  saving  effected  by  the  State  administration 
being  thus  in  whole  or  in  part  absorbed  by  the  increased  cost  of  local 
governmentis.  The  great  burden  from  direct  tax  resting  upon  real  estate 
results  from  the  cost  of  local,  county,  town  and  municipal  governments, 
and  that  cost  has  been  increasing  at  a  time  when  it  has  been  demonstrated 
to  be  practicable  to  reduce  the  cost  of  government.  The  demand  for  a 
change  in  methods  of  local  administration  led  to  the  adoption  of  a  con- 
stitutional amendment  at  the  last  election  relating  to  only  two  counties 
in  the  State.  It  may  be  that  the  need  was  greatest  in  those  two  counties 
because  of  developments  incident  to  their  proximity  to  the  City  of  New 
York,  but  I  have  no  doubt  that  there  is  some  need,  though  possibly  of 
varying  degree,  in  every  county  in  the  State.  I  recommend  that  provision 
be  made  for  an  inquiry  into  the  causes  of  the  excessive  cost  of  local 
governments  and  the  remedies  therefor.  The  Joint  Committee  on  Taxation 
is  well  organized  to  conduct  such  an  inquiry. 

Governor  Miller  urged  the  Legislature  to  postpone  action  on 
all  local  legislation  aflfecting  the  City  of  New  York,  explaining: 

The  New  York  Charter  Commission  recently  appointed  by  me  is  now 
engaged  in  the  work  of  revising  the  Charter  of  the  City  of  New  York. 
I  hope  that  it  will  be  able  to  report  to  the  present  Legislature,  in  which 
case  I  shall  convene  it  in  extraordinary  session.  In  view  of  that  work  I 
recommend  that,  except  to  provide  for  emergencies,  all  proposed  local 
legislation  affecting  the  City  of  New  York  be  held  for  consideration  together 
with  the  report  of  the  Charter  Commission. 

The  Governor  also  recommended  various  election  reforms 
and  the  equal  participation  of  men  and  women  in  party  man- 
agement. Taking  up  the  State's  institutional  problem  Gover- 
nor Miller  groups  this  in  three  sections,  (1)  the  hospitals,  (2) 
the  penal  institutions  and  (3)  the  asylums  for  mental  defec- 
tives. The  message  said  that  housing,  food  and  clothing  con- 
ditions in  all  classes  of  State  institutions  are  good.  Concern- 
ing hospitals  the  Governor  holds  that  the  chief  problem  lays 
with  the  curative  side  and  advances  the  belief  that  the  num- 
ber of  discharged  and  paroled  inmates  should  be  increased. 
In  1921,  the  increase  in  the  number  of  patients  in  State  hos- 
pitals was  1,337,  as  against  only  299  in  the  preceding  year. 

Regarding  the  assembling  of  ex-service  men  in  the  new 
Kings  Park  Hospital  the  Governor  declared: 

There  are  within  the  metropolitan  district  530  ex-service  men  in  the 
.State  hospitals,  excluding  paroles.  The  Federal  Government  makes  com- 
pensation for  the  care  of  257  of  them.  There  are  at  Kings  Park  two  units 
admirably  suited  for  the  care  and  treatment  of  the  ex-service  men.  One 
hundred  and  seventy-two  are  now  being  cared  for  in  one  of  such  units. 
There  is  nearing  completion  at  Kings  Park  a  reception  hospital  which  is 
believed  to  embody  the  last  word  in  modern  psychiatry.  It  is  desirable, 
if  possible,  to  assemble  the  ex-service  men  from  the  metropolitan  district 
at  one  place,  so  that  the  assistance  in  therapeutic  work  and  occupational 
training  which  the  Federal  Government  is  willing  to  render  may  be  utilized 
to  the  maximum.  I  am  advised  by  the  officers  of  the  State  department 
of  the  American  Legion  that  the  executive  committee  of  that  organization, 
after  a  thorough  investigation,  approves  of  the  bringing  together,  if 
possible,  of  the  ex-service  men  in  tlie  metropolitan  district  at  Kings  Park 
Hospital,  and  at  my  request  the  Hospital  Commission  now  has  under 
consideration  the  method  of  effecting  the  necessary  transfers  to  make 
that   possible. 

Governor  Miller  did  not  discuss  in  his  annual  message  the 
plans  of  the  New  York  Port  Authority,  but  informed  the  Leg- 
islature that  he  would  treat  this  subject  in  a  later  communica- 
tion to  that  body. 

"The  State,"  says  the  message,  "is  the  owner  of  tax  titles  to  1,600  parcels 
of  real  estate;  it  has  acquired  title  to  113  parcels  by  foreclosure  of  United 
States  loan  mortgages;  it  is  the  owner  of  607  mortgages  on  real  estate  and 
has  other  miscellaneous  holdings  not  devoted  to  public  use  and  not  within 
the  forest  preserve  counties.  It  receives  from  all  of  its  real  estate  an 
annual  rntal  of  about  $1,400.  The  land  acquired  at  foreclosure  sale  has 
been  owned  by  the  State  from  sixteen  to  seventy-live  years.  It  owns 
mortgages  which  are  more  than  eighty  years  old,  many  of  them  for  small 
sums. 

"The  Commissioners  of  the  Land  Office  have  the  power  to  sell  real  estate 
owned  by  the  State  not  within  the  forest  preserv  and  not  devoted  to  public 
use,  but  it  i.s  obvious  that  that  power  is  inadequate  to  deal  with  the 
situation. 

"I  recommend  the  adoption  of  some  simple  procedure  to  have  the  State- 
owned  property  appraised  and  sold  with  as  little  formality  and  red  tape 
as  possible.  I  also  recommend  that  the  Comptroller  be  authorized  to 
accept  transfers  of  title  to  mortgaged  property  with  the  approval  of  the 
Land   Board." 

After  the  reading  of  the  Governor's  message,  both  houses  of 
the  Legislature  adjourned  until  next  week.

Tax  Exemption  Little  Help  to  People  of  Moderate  Incomes 

Measure  Stimulated  Building,  Says  Frank  Bailey,  But  New  Construction  Has 
Been  Almost  Entirely  of  High  Priced  Apartments 


FRANK  BAILEY,  vice-president  of  the  Title  Guarantee 
and  Trust  Company,  discussing  the  housing  situation  in 
its  relation  to  high  prices  generally,  declares  that  the  ex- 
emption from  taxation  of  new  houses  for  ten  years  hase  not 
relieved  the  people  for  whom  relief  was  most  necessary. 

"Tax  exemption,"  said  Mr.  Bailey,  "has  stimulated  building 
to  a  great  degree,  but  the  new  construction  has  been  entirely 
of  that  class  which  is  not  available  because  of  its  cost  to  the 
people   of  moderate  incomes. 

"In  Greater  New  York  at  the  present  time  those  having 
moderated  incomes  are  under  greater  pressure  for  rent  than 
ever  before,  and  as  incomes  decrease  the  high  rents  of  cheaper 
apartments  will  day  by  day  oppress  more  people.  At  the  pres- 
ent time  it  is  absolutely  impossible  to  produce  a  house  which 
can  be  occupied  by  a  tenant  who  can  afford  to  pay  a  maxi- 
mum of  $12  a  room,  and  when  one  remembers  that  the  great- 
est number  of  people  are  in  the  class  that  can  pay  $12  or  less 
a  room,  then  it  is  perfectly  obvious  that  the  poor  man  is  not 
approaching  cheaper   rents,  but   is   approaching  higher   rents. 

"There  has  been  immense  relief  in  the  construction  of  houses 
where  the  rent  is  from  $20  a  room  up,  and  the  peak  of  prices 
of  that  class  of  apartment  has  long  since  passed. 

"The  exemption  from  taxation  has  produced  so  much  con- 
struction that  the  labor  unions  have  been  able  to  work  their 


will  with  the  builders,  until  the  cost  of  construction  is  but  a 
little  under  the  so-called  war  prices.  As  long  as  this  enormous 
construction  of  buildings  for  the  more  wealthy  continues  and 
is  stimulated,  prices  for  materials  and  for  labor  will  probably 
continue  and  the  poor  man  will  receive  no  relief. 

"Relief  of  housing  will  be  worked  out  in  two  ways,  and  in 
two  ways  only,  in  my  judgment.  One  is  by  stopping  the 
stimulation  of  construction  which  is  no  longer  in  great  demand, 
to  wit,  the  higher  priced  apartments.  Second,  by  the  Ameri- 
can people  rising  superior  to  the  domination  of  people  who 
work  as  little  as  they  can  for  wages  away  beyond  those  they 
are  entitled  to  earn,  and  thereby  inflict  upon  the  people  of 
Greater  New  York  almost  a  calamity. 

"Eighteen  dollars  a  day  for  plasterers  with  the  wage  scale  of 
$10;  bricklayers  handling  from  600  to  1,000  brick  a  day  against 
a  capacity  of  over  2,000  for  a  good  workman ;  electricians  pay- 
ing a  gang  for  the  privilege  of  working,  with  the  ability  of  a 
builder  to  employ  only  one  man  to  put  on  his  lath  and  at  any 
.old  price  that  man  may  ask;  with  the  persistent  strikes  for 
no  reason  whatsoever — the  poor  people  and  those  who  can  pay 
moderate  rents  can  hope  for  no  relief. 

"There  is  just  one  old-fashioned  rule  which  can  help,  and  that 
is  for  5,000.000  people  to  assert  their  independence  against  pos- 
sibly 40,000  people. 


Bryan  L.  Kennelly  Sees  Bright  Outlook  for  1922  Auction  Market 


BRYAN  L.  KENNELLY,  president  of  Bryan  L.  Kennelly,  Inc., 
and  vice-president  of  the  Harriman  National  Bank,  when 
asked  about  the  outlook  for  the  real  estate  auction  mar- 
ket for  1922,  declared  that  it  promised  to  be  the  brightest  in 
the  annals  of  New  York  realty. 

"I  am  as  confident  of  this,"  said  Mr.  Kennelly,  "as  I  am  of 
the  ultimate  results  of  the  Washington  disarmament  con- 
ference. The  auction  market  was  never  better  than  during 
1921  and  the  market  for  1922  promises  to  overshadow  it,  par- 
ticularly in  the  volume  of  vacant  lot  transactions.  And  there 
is  good  reason  for  believing  this.  Civilization  has  begun  to 
put  its  house  in  order  again.  It  is  recovering  from  the  moral 
slump  which  has  kept  the  world  in  a  state  of  paralysis  for 
almost  a  decade.  It  is  turning  to  peace  and  is  making  its  po- 
sition more  stable  and  secure.  It  is  getting  rid  of  disorders 
and  restoring  confidence.  It  is  reviving  trade  everywhere, 
setting  in  motion  all  its  industrial  looms  and  creating  a  de- 
mand by  one  nation  for  the  wares  and  goods  and  good  will  of 
another.  It  is  extracting  the  dross  from  credit,  restoring 
currency  to  its  real  value,  and  checking  the  sinister  fluctua- 
tions of  foreign  exchange.  A  world-wide  awakening  to  sanity 
is  developing;  unity  of  purpose  and  endeavor  is  being  re- 
kindled; doubts  and  discouragements  are  being  dispelled;  false 
prophets  and  their  vicious  and  misleading  prophecies  are  being 
thrown    into   the    discard. 

"Other  things  upon  which  my  confidence  is  founded  is  the 
amazing  shipment  of  gold  to  the  United  States  by  foreign 
capitalists  for  investment  here — a  sum  almost  totalling  a  billion 
dollars;  the  enthusiastic  response  of  the  world's  leading  gov- 
ernments, rulers  and  statesmen  to  President  Harding's  invita- 
tion to  meet  in  Washington  and  discuss  ways  and  means  to 
end  wars  and  their  causes;  the  attitude  of  the  whole  American 
public  toward  the  proposal  to  scrap  navies  and  eliminate  fur- 
ther danger  of  general  economic  disaster  and  forestall  another 
conflagration  of  anarchism;  the  universal  joy  over  the  pros- 
pect of  the  establishment  of  a  super-government;  the  uniting 
of  nations  by  unbreakable  treaty  or  agreement,  or  by  bonds 
of  sound  and  unalterable  friendship,  so  as  to  permanently 
guarantee  peace  and  good  will  between  all  peoples  whatever 
their  race,  their  color,  or  their  creed. 


"That  the  world  will  some  day  be  united  in  some  way  as 
the  result  of  the  epoch-making  conference  in  Washington  I 
am  certain  of  as  I  am  of  the  wave  of  prosperity  that  will 
sweep  over  America  and  the  rest  of  the  world  before  another 
year  is  past.  With  the  coming  of  this  wave  of  prosperity 
there  will  naturally  eventuate  a  great  business  boom,  wide- 
spread good  times,  and  an  unprecedented  outpouring  of  home- 
seekers,  investors,  speculators,  developtrs,  operators  and 
builders  to  absorb  vacant  land  in  New  York  City  and  all  other 
sections  in  the  metropolitan  area. 

"Added  strength  is  given  to  my  faith  in  the  future  of  the 
real  estate  auction  market  in  the  return  of  investors  to  the 
field  of  realty  and  their  active  participation  in  most  of  the  im- 
portant transactions.  For  several  years  past  they  have  held 
aloof,  devoting  most  of  their  attention  to  stocks  and  bonds 
and  other  securities.  They  lost  sight  of  the  solidarity  of  New 
York  real  estate  and  of  real  estate  as  a  source  of  constant 
and  steady  income.  Having  sustained  tremendous  losses  in 
other  fields,  which  they  had  been  led  to  believe  offered  fabu- 
lous profits,  the  truth  has  dawned  upon  a  large  number  of 
investors  that  the  safest  kind  of  an  investment  is  improved 
real    property    which    produces    substantial    returns. 

"Let  me  say  that  investment  in  the  real  estate  market  during 
the  1914-1918  conflict  against  militarism  and  during  the  post- 
war period  to  date  has  meant  the  conservation  or  saving  of 
fortunes  for  many  American  citizens,  because  of  the  soundness 
of  real  estate  and  its  ability  to  stand  up  against  even  so  great 
a  catastrophe  as  the  World  War.  It  is  truly  remarkable  that 
while  everything  else  virtually  went  to  smash,  real  estate,  es- 
pecially New  York  real  estate,  stood  the  shock  without  once 
feeling  it. 

"When  one  considers  Manhattan   real  estate  by  itself,  what 
equals   it   from  an   investment  standpoint?     There   is  no  spot 
on   the   Island  whose   value  of  the  moment   is   not   fixed   and 
whose  greater  value  of  the  future  is  not  assured, 
than  ever  before,  and  they  realize  more  than  ever  before  the 

"My  confidence  in  the  future  of  the  real  estate  auction  mar- 
ket is  also  strengthened  by  the  increasing  number  of  women 
investors,   operators   and   speculators   at   all   my   sales. 

"What  is  the  outlook  for  real  estate?  I  say,  all  signs  point 
to  an   unprecedented  volume  of  business   in   1922."

RECORD    AND    GUIDE 


Miss  Annie  Mathews  New  York's  First  Woman  Register 

Elected  by  a  Decisive  Plurality  the  First  Representative  of  Her  Sex  as  Head  of 

a  Department  Takes  Important  Office 


THE  first  woman  to  be  the  head  of  an  important  branch 
of  the  local  government  took  office  on  Monday,  when 
Miss  Annie  Mathews  became  Register  of  New  York 
County,  as  a  result  of  her  election  thereto  last  November. 
When  interviewed  about  the  duties  of  the  office.  Miss  Mathews 
said  that  necessarily  she  could  say  little,  as  she  had  not  been 
in  office  long  enough  to  fully  acquaint  herself  with  its  rami- 
fications and  to  become  fully  acquainted  with  the  entire  working 
force. 

"I  do  not  care  merely  to  express  vague  phrases  about  my 
duties,"  she  said.  "When  I  can  say  something  tangible  about 
this  place  I  hold  that  is  of  personal  interest  to  every  property- 
owner  and  builder  in  town  then  I  will  be  heard  from.  Wait 
until  I  get  over  the  brand  newness  of  the  position.  I  am  begin- 
ning to  settle  down  to  business.  The  first  day  or  two  were 
days  of  congratulations,  bouquets  and  kind  words,  as  they  are 
for  all  new  incubents  in  oflfice. 

"There  is  this  much  that  I  can  say  with  some  sense  of  state- 
ment :  I  am  deeply  appreciative  of  the  great  honor  which  the 
voters  of  New  York  conferred  on  me  by  the  splendid  plurality 
(86,000)  given  me  in  the  recent  election.  I  am  assuming  office 
with  a  full  determination  to  prove  to  the  voters  that  they  made 
no  mistake  in  their  choice,  and  that  a  great  public  office  can 
be  administered  by  a  woman. 

"I  count  myself  fortunate  in  taking  over  from  my  predecessor 
a  competent  and  experienced  staff  and  feel  sure  that  I  can 
count  on  their  full  co-operation  in  the  effort  to  make  our 
office  record,  if  possible,  even  better  in  the  future. 

"One  of  the  most  urgent  problems  of  our  day  is  the  making 
of  democratic  institutions  efficient  and  thus  economical.  I 
believe  that  at  least  one  vital  factor  in  the  solution  of  this 
problem  is  the  awakening  in  each  official  of  a  department  a 
sense  of  his  importance  to  and  responsibility  for  the  success  of 
"the  whole.  If  we  can  work  in  this  spirit,  as  I  sincerely  believe 
we  can,  I  am  confident  we  can  be  happy  in  our  work,  and 
promise  the  public  good  service  with  courtesy  and  promptness." 

The  new  Register  is  a  native  of  this  city,  a  daughter  of 
John  and  Elizabeth  Gillespie  Mathews.  She  was  educated  in 
the  New  York  public  schools.  Her  further  education  has  been 
obtained    by    travel,    by    keen    observation,   by   long   business 


experience  and  as  an  ardent  advocate  of  woman  suffrage  be- 
fore it  became  a  reality.  Since  it  has  been  in  effect  Miss 
Mathews  has  been  Democratic  leader  of  the  Nineteenth  As- 
sembly District  of  Manhattan.  She  was  such  a  good  cam- 
paigner that  she  ran  ahead  of  some  others  on  the  Democratic 
ticket  as  much  as  5,(KX).  Miss  Mathews  has  traveled  abroad 
extensively  during  her  vacations,  and  she  believes  that  is  the 
best  finishing  off  process  that  any  one's  education  can  get.  As 
a  result  of  her  travels  and  her  political  experience  she  has 
met  all  kinds  of  persons,  so  that  she  comes  into  oflfice  with  her 
powers  of  observation  well  developed. 

The  retiring  Register,  James  A.  Donegan,  on  Monday  posed 
with  his  fair  successor  for  a  picture.  And  in  turning  over  the 
office  to  Miss  Mathews,  Mr.  Donegan  said:  "From  my  ac- 
quaintance with  you  I  know  you  are  capable  and  competent  to 
discharge  its  most  responsible  duties.  I  know  you  will  dis- 
charge those  duties  as  economically  as  I  have.  The  office 
has  become  self-sustaining  since  I  came  here." 

Responding  to  the  compliment,  Miss  Mathews  said  that  the 
important  thing  now  to  do  was  to  demonstrate  to  the  New  York 
public  the  success  of  good  municipal  principles  and  to  prove  by 
action  in  office  that  the  era  of  the  Czar  and  boss  rule  are  over. 

All  of  Register  Mathews'  immediate  assistants  are  new  in- 
cumbents, except  the  cashier,  who  was  promoted  from  the 
place  of  assistant  cashier.  They  are,  in  order,  as  follows: 
Edmund  P.  Holahan,  Chief  Deputy  Register;  Mrs.  Josephine 
Flynn,  Secretary  to  the  Register;  Thomas  F.  Murray,  Cashier, 
and  Miss  Loretta  Bonner,  Assistant  Cashier.  Two  of  this  staflf 
reside  on  Washington  Heights,  one  in  Harlem  and  one  on  the 
West  Side. 

Regarding  the  Torrens  Law  confirmation  of  titles  and  the 
work  of  title  insurance  companies.  Miss  Mathews  said  that 
she  would  be  perfectly  impartial  so  far  as  the  Register's  office 
is  concerned,  that  it  is  up  to  the  property-owner  affected  to 
have  any  kind  of  search  desired,  without  any  attitude  being 
taken  in  favor  of  the  Torrens  Law  or  against  it. 

Former  Register  Donegan  is  now  County  Clerk,  succeeding 
William  F.  Schneider;  while  Martin  Hoffman,  formerly  cashier 
to  the  Register,  is  head  of  the  Naturalization  Bureau  of  the 
County  Clerk's  office. 


Real  Estate  Board  to  Hold  Monthly  Dinner  Meetings 


THE  Real  Estate  Board  of  New  York  has  decided  to  hold 
monthly  meetings  for  its  members.  The  first  of  these 
meetings  will  be  held  on  the  evening  of  Thursday,  Janu- 
ary 12,  at  which  time  the  proposed  development  of  the  Port 
of  New  York  will  be  presented  by  members  of  the  Commis- 
of  the  Commission,  former  Governor  Alfred  E.  Smith  and  Mr. 
sion  including,  it  is  expected,  Mr.  E.  H.  Outerbridge,  Chairman 
Lewis  H.  Pounds.  The  proposed  development  of  the  port  will 
be  illustrated  with  motion  pictures. 

The  dinner  will  be  held  at  Delmonico's.  It  will  begin  prompt- 
ly at  6.30  and  it  is  planned  to  conclude  the  meeting  not  later 
than  9.30.  Members  have  been  asked  to  reply  promptly  and 
informed  that  reservations  cannot  be  made  later  than  Tues- 
day, January  3.  Referring  to  these  meetings  which  the  Board 
plans  to  hold  monthly  from  now  on,  Mr.  Charles  G.  Edwards, 
President  of  the  Board,  says: 

"It  is  the  purpose  of  the  Board  of  Governors  to  make  these 
meetings   entirely  of  an   educational   character.     There  are   so 


many  important  public  projects  of  vital  interest  to  members 
of  the  Real  Estate  Board  that  it  should  not  be  difficult  to  select 
su'jjects  upon  which  our  members  will  be  glad  indeed  to  be  in- 
formed. The  success  of  these  meetings  will  depend  entirely 
upon  the  reception  by  the  members  but  it  seems  to  me  that 
these  gatherings  should  prove  successful  from  the  very  first 

"The  development  of  the  Port  of  New  York,  for  instance, 
is  of  greater  importance  even  than  our  transit  problem,  and 
yet  I  doubt  very  much  whether  the  public  generally  and  even 
members  of  the  Real  Estate  Board,  who  are  supposed  to  follow 
matters  of  this  kind,  know  very  much  about  it. 

"It  will  probably  be  necessary  to  omit  a  meeting  in  Feb- 
ruary because  of  the  annual  banquet  which  the  Board  will 
hold  on  the  evening  of  February  4.  But  the  Board  of  Gov- 
ernors is  determined  to  try  out  this  method  of  interesting  its 
members  in  the  great  business  affairs  of-the  city  and  they  feel 
sure  that  the  members  will  respond  to  the  call  for  the  meeting 
on  January  12  and  on  succeeding  occasions." 


Improvement  in  Gvpsum  Plaster 


Manufacturers  of  gypsum  wall  planter  announce  that  a  new 
manufacturing  process  has  been  adopted.  The  statement  is 
made  that  this  is  the  first  radical  change  in  4,000  years.  The 
new  product  is  known  as  syanizcd  plaster.  The  process  sc.ils 
each   minute  particle  of  gypsum  against   atmosphere  moistii  e. 


The  plaster  loses  none  of  its  sand-carrying  capacity,  even  whea 
stored  for  many  months.  It  does  not  go  "dead"  while  in  stor- 
age, and,  being  always  "fresh,"  assures  full  coverage.  Other 
economics  of  this  plaster  are  the  rapidity  with  which  it  takes 
the  water  in  mixing,  and  its  unusual  plasticity  under  the  trowel.

Review  of  Real  Estate  Market  for   the   Current  Week 

Several  Large  Sales  in  Manhattan  Added  Tone  to  Dealing  There,  While  Sales  of 
Apartment  Houses  Shared  Honors  With  Plots  in  Bronx 

THE  New  Year,  in  real  estate,  started  well.  The  week 
shows  transactions  closed  of  substantial  size  that  indi- 
cate that  the  market  is  likely  to  show  greater  strength 
as  it  progresses  toward  Spring.  All  parts  of  town  were  repre- 
sented in  the  dealing  this  week.  Even  an  old  tenement  house 
in  Market  Slip,  a  part  of  the  city  that  seldom  figures  in  the 
trading,  changed  hands  for  improvement.  The  Corn  Exchange 
Bank  acquired  an  improved  West  Bronx  corner  which  will 
house  a  new  branch  of  that  widespread  financial  institution. 
An  old  builder  bought  another  West  Bronx  corner  for  im- 
provement with  a  taxpayer  containing  stores.  One  store  has 
been  leased,  on  the  plans,  to  a  chain  grocer.  This  reflects 
the  neighborhood  growth  steadily  going  on  in  the  Bronx,  es- 
pecially in  the  western  half  of  it,  where  new  rapid  transit 
routes  are  making  themselves  felt.  The  New  Year  witnessed 
a  continuity  of  general  buying  and  selling  of  vacant  plots  in 
the  northerly  borough,  for  improvement  with  apartment  houses. 

A  new  feature  was  the  sale  of  some  large  new  apartment 
houses,  showing  that  investors  are  interested  in  these  modern 
properties. 

Giving  impetus  to  this  year's  dealing  in  Manhattan  was  the 
sale  of  a  large  mercantile  building  at  West  S7th  street,  ad- 
joining the  Hecksher  building  at  the  corner  of  Fifth  avenue, 
the  sale  value  approaching  $1,500,000.  Among  other  notable 
transactions  were  the  sale  of  a  large  West  Side  plot  for  re- 
improvement  with  a  17-story  building;  the  sale  of  the  old 
Hotel  Grosvenor,  on  a  lower  Fifth  avenue  corner,  and  the 
'  enlargement,  by  purchase,  of  a  plot  near  Madison  avenue, 
owned  by  William  R.  Hearst. 

The  12-story  Strathmore  apartment  house,  on  an  upper 
Riverside  Drive  corner,  again  changed  hands.  This,  together 
with    numerous    recent    sales    of   vacant    corner   plots    on    this 


famous  river  front  thoroughfare,  shows  that  the  Drive  is  in 
steady  demand  as  a  residential  center  and  that  it  is  not  so 
remote  from  traffic  routes  as  many  suppose.  The  fee  to  a 
large  loft  building  on  a  Fourth  avenue  corner  was  bought  by 
the  owners  of  the  building,  who  are  the  tenants.  A  large  site 
for  a  12-story  loft  building  in  the  Garment  Center  was  bought. 
This,  together  with  other  site  sales  in  that  zone  recently,  in- 
dicates that  the  sky  line  of  that  new  business  section  will  be 
materially  changed  by  next  year  and  that  the  concentration  of 
cloak  and  suit  makers  there  will  be  stronger  and  rental  values 
better  and  fee  values  higher. 

The  Sydenham  Post  Graduate  Hospital  bought  a  block  front 
in  West  Harlem,  which  means  that  that  institution  will  re- 
move from  the  East  side  of  the  city  eventually  to  a  new  million 
dollar  structure  to  be  built  on  the  new  site.  It  is  not  believed 
that  this  semi-fashionable  part  of  town  welcomes  the  coming 
of  the  hospital.  But,  institutions  of  this  character  must  neces- 
sarily follow  trend  of  population  and  settle  in  accessible  neigh- 
borhoods. 

The  march  of  trade  northward,  in  Madison  avenue,  was 
shown  by  the  purchase  of  two  fine  dwellings  there  for  the  pur- 
pose of  remodeling  them  into  mercantile  buildings.  There 
was  considerable  dealing  in  fine  dwellings  elsewhere  in  town. 
Apartment  house  dealing  was  fairly  active.  Some  mercantile 
buildings,  downtown,  changed  hands.  An  old  mansion  on 
Washington  Square  was  bought  to  remodel  for  trade. 

That  large  summer  hotel  properties  are  still  doing  business, 
in  spite  of  the  travel  by  automobile,  is  indicated  by  the  sale, 
for  about  $1,000,000,  of  the  Hotel  Kaaterskill,  in  the  Catskill 
Mountains,  together  with  600  acres  of  mountain  land.  The 
new  State  highway,  along  the  west  bank  of  the  Hudson  River, 
undoubtedly  had  much  to  do  with  the  determination  to  ac- 
quire this  large  property  and   remodel  it. 


PRIVATE  REALTY  SALES. 


T^HE  total  number  of  sales  reported,  but  not 
-^  recorded  in  Manhattan  this  week,  was  81. 
as   against  69  last  week  and  88  a  year  ago. 

The  number  of  sales  south  of  50th  st  was  26. 
as  compared  with  29  last  week  and  41  a  year 
ago. 

The  number  of  sales  north  of  .50th  st  was  55. 
as  compared  with  40  last  week  and  47  a  year 
ago. 

From  the  Bronx  .35  sales  at  private  contract 
were  reported,  as  against  39  last  week  and  24 
a  year  ago.

the  partnership,  received  many  congratulations 
and  looked  back  on  their  silver  jubilee,  at  a 
successful  and  gratifying  business  career. 

The  firm,  during  all  these  years,  has  been 
located  in  the  Yorkville  section,  of  whose  real 
estate  values  it  is  a  recognized  authority-  It 
has  not  fontined  its  operations  to  this  locality 
alone,  but  has  done  an  extensive  business 
throughout  the  entire  city,  making  a  specialty  of 
management  of  estates.  It  still  retains,  as 
clients,  a  number  of  large  estates  with  which 
it  began  business  25  years  a^o,  the  most  im- 
portant of  which  consists  of  the  large  real  es- 
tate  interests  of  the  Hoguet  family.

of  New  York  business  men  in  the  "Budget 
Guard"  being  organized  by  the  National  Budget

Sam  A.  Lewisohn,  weil-known  banker  and  city 
chairman,  to  support  the  movement  for  national

Columbia    Stadium    Site    Assured 

A  donor,  whoso  nain"  is.  for  the  present,  with- 
held, has  given  the  .$700,000  necessary  for  Col- 
umbia ITniversity  to  acquire  a  large  trnct  of 
vacant  land  in  the  northern  part  of  Manhattan 
as  the  site  for  a  university  stadium  for  all  kinds 


of  athletic  events.  Fronting  on  the  south  shore 
of  Harlem  Ship  Canal  and  the  west  shore  of 
Harlem  River,  the  tract  embraces  26  acres. 
Broadway  and  21Sth  st  are  the  other  boun- 
daries. A  short  distance  away  is  Isham  Park. 
Its  acquisition  will  mean  that  New  York  City 
will  offer  the  greatest  facilities  for  intercolleg- 
iate tests  of  every  kind  and  for  such  public 
spectacles  as  the  Horse  Show,  brigade  reviews, 
etc.  The  action  to  acquire  the  tract  was  the 
result  of  the  study  of  the  university  stadium 
propect  made  by  a  committee  consisting  of  rep- 
resentatives of  officers,  alumni  and  students 
appointed  by  President  Butler  on  March  17  last 
to  take  up  the  whole  question  of  a  Stadium  and 
athletic  field,  to  plan  how  best  to  carry  the  mat- 
ter forward  and  to  recommend  to  President  But- 
ler for  transmission  to  the  trustees  such  steps 
as  they  might  think  desirable. 

A  committee  of  alumni  and  students  under 
the  chairmanship  of  Archibald  Douglass,  gradu- 
ate of  Columbia  Law  School  of  the  class  of 
1S07.  has  been  working  since  May,  1921,  to  raise 
the  needed  amount.  At  the  Columbia  holiday 
luncheon  on  December  29,  Dr.  Butler  announced 
that  up  to  that  time  the  efforts  had  been  un- 
successful. The  raising  of  the  money  by  Dr. 
Butler  at  the  last  minute  came  to  Columbia 
and  to  the  city  in  the  nature  of  a  New  Year's 
surprise. 

Steps  will  be  taken  at  once  to  develop  the 
tract  in  accordance  with  the  plan  which  has 
already  been  mapped  out  in  detail.  Dr.  Butler 
made  the  announoeraent  of  the  gift,  which  comes 
from  a  personal  friend,  in  the  following  state- 
ment : 

"It  is  with  profound  satisfaction  that  I  am 
able  to  announce  that  a  warm  personal  friend, 
who  wishes  for  the  time  being  to  remain  anony- 
mous, has  made  a  princely  gift  of  the  sura 
needed  to  enable  Columbia  University  to  acquire 
for  an  athletic  field  and  stadium  the  Dyckman 
tract  of  more  than  26  acres,  which  has  been 
held  under  option  since  May  last. 

•'The  total  cost  of  acquiring  the  property  will 
be  about  $700,000.  The  option  to  purchase  was 
to  expire  at  noon  Saturdav,  December  31.  and 
the  generous  donor,  who  bad  been  greatly  in- 
terested in  the  project  from  the  time  it  was 
first  brought  to  his  attention,  made  his  gift  on 
Friday. 

"Tt  !s  difllcult  to  exaggerate  what  possession 
of  this  property  will  mean  to  the  health  and 
the  enjoyment  of  generations  of  Columbia  Uni- 
versity students  and  alumni.  When  developed 
as  we  plan  to  develop  it,  it  will  be  as  notable 
an  addition   to  the  resources  of  New  York  as  a

metropolitan  city  as  has  been  made  in  many  a 
day." 

Dr.  Butler  stated  that  the  committee  o( 
alumni  and  students  who  have  been  at  work  on 
the  plans  since  last  spring  have  before  them  a 
complete  scheme  for  developing  the  property 
prepared  by  Eugene  Klapp,  engineer  of  the 
Columbia  class  of  1912,  and  Henry  F.  Horn- 
hostel,  architect,  of  the  Columbia  class  of  ISai. 

Speaking  of  the  plans  for  athletic  fields,  Dr. 
Butler  said  that  they  provided  for  a  football 
stadium  with  a  seating  capacity  of  56,000,  cost- 
ing $ToO,000 :  a  separate  baseball  field  with  a 
capacity  of  10,000,  costing  %\2i>fi00,  and  an  ath- 
letic field  with  three  tracks  and  a  220-yard 
straightaway  with  a  capacity  of  8,000  or  9,000, 
costing   $450,000. 

A  field  boulevard  200  feet  wide  that  will  park 
from  1,000  to  1,500  automobiles  will  be  built 
across  the  property  at  a  cost  of  $120,000.  This 
road  or  boulevard  will  look  down  over  the  foot- 
ball and  baseball  fields  on  the  one  hand  and 
look  out  on  the  athetic  fields  on  the  other.  Dr. 
Butler  explained. 

A  boathouse  and  rowing  headquarters  will  be 
built  in  the  extreme  westerly  part  of  the  prop- 
erty in  a  cove  protected  from  the  tidal  currents 
of  the  Harlem  River.  A  sea  wall  costing  .$135,- 
000  is  also  provided  for  in  the  plans,  which 
further  contemplate  the  erection  of  a  war  me- 
morial, whose  cost,  like  that  of  the  boathouse 
and  a  clubhouse,  has  not  yet  been  estimated.

Sells  Fee  to  Fourth  Av  Corner 

A  tenant  syndicate,  in  which  Herring  Bros, 
and  J.  I,  Granowitz,  silk  and  woolen  merchants, 
are  interested,  has  purchased  from  Esther  B.  de 
,  P.  Hosmer  the  land,  98.7x75,  at  the  northwest 
corner  of  Fourth  av  and  21st  st,  which  it  leased 
a  few  years  ago  and  improved  with  a  12-sty 
building.  Title  has  been  acquired  under  the 
name  of  the  Leah  Realty  Co. 

Papers  have  also  been  recorded  in  which  the 
seller  allows  a  mortgage  for  JS.S'.oOO  to  remain 
for  10  years  at  5  per  cent,  and  a  further  loan 
of  .$225,000,  payable  in  installments  and  bearing 
6  per  cent,  interest  is  advanced  by  Paul  Herring

Evening   Post   Sells    Its   Uptown   Site 

It  is  understood  that  the  New  York  Evening 
Post  has  sold  the  site  for  a  contemplated  new 
building,  at  2.m  to  265  West  •S.'^d  st,  which  it 
bought  about  two  years  ago.  The  name  of  the 
buyer  is  not  disclosed.  The  plot  is  125x980  and. 
with  the  exception  of  a  25-foot  front  apartment 
house,  the  site  is  vacant.  It  adjoins  the  north- 
east corner  of  Eighth  av  and  is  opposite  the 
Pennsylvania  Station  and  close  to  the  General 
Post  Office. 

Last  May  the  Post  borrowed  $2.50.000  on  the 
property  from  the  Metropolitan  Life  Insurance 
Co.  The  loan  becomes  due  in  June,  1926,  and 
bears  interest  at  the   rate  of  fi  per  cent. 

The  Post  has  been  on  Vesey  st  tor  a  decade  or 
more.  Soon  after  the  paper  was  purchased  by 
Thomas  W.  Lamont  the  uptown  site  was  ac- 
quired, presumably  with  the  intention  of  utiliz- 
ing it  tor  the  plant  when  the  Vesey  st  lease 
expired. 


Sale  of  Big   Broadway   Corner 

The  16-sty  Merchants  Building  at  the  south-

representing  a  syndicate  of  investors-  The  price 
was  reported  to  be  in  the  neighborhood  of 
.«;i  .000.000.  William  Sussman,  Inc.,  were  the 
brokers. 

The  structure,  which  covers  a  plot  80.5x110, 
was  erected  about  15  years  ago  by  the  late 
Philip  Braender,  one  of  the  pioneer  builders  of 
steel  and  masonry  structures  in  the  city.

Broadway  2,82.7»4  feet  on  Dyckman  st  and  2.50.10

years  and  it  is  the  last  of  his  holdings  of  this 
strip. 

Negotiations  are  pending  for  the  resale  of  the 
property  by  Mr.  Brown  to  a  prominent  builder

Sell    a    Cooperative     Apartment

born, who  now  resides  at  the  Carlton  House,  22

Mystic  Shriners  Buy  West  Side  Plot 

The  Masonic  Order  of  The  Mystic  Shrine 
bought  through  Clarence  H.  Kelsey,  president 
of  the  Title  Guarantee  &  Trust  Co.,  the  plot 
lol  West  55th  st,  extending  through  to  130  West 
50th  st,  at  present  covered  by  a  3  and  4-sty 
brick  building,  the  plot  200.10  feet  in  depth  and 
fronts  101  feet  on  55th  st  and  99.6  feet  on  56th 
St.  Yale  University  was  the  seller.  The  pur- 
chase  price   is   understood  to  be  $400,000, 

The  site  chosen  for  the  elaborate  temple  of 
the  local  organization  of  Shriners  has  recently 
been  used  as  a  moving  picture  studio  by  the 
Famous  Players-Lasky  Corporation.  The  old 
buildings  will  be  razed  to  make  room  for  the 
mosque,  which  is  to  be  of  the  finest  execution, 
as  befits  the  mother  of  all  Temples  of  the  An- 
cient Arabic  Order  of  the  Nobles  of  the  Mystic 
Shrine.  With  the  cost  of  the  plot,  the  new  home 
of  the  Shriners  of  Mecca  Temple  will  cost  them 
nearly  $2,000,000,  and  it  will  represent  one  of 
the  most  expensive  as  well  as  one  of  the  most 
striking  works  of  architecture  ever  erected  in 
this  country  for  the  exclusive  use  of  a  fraternal 
order. 

Work  on  the  Temple  will  be  begun  at  once, 
and  it  is  to  be  completed  and  opened  in  connec- 
tion with  the  jubilee  celebrating  the  fiftieth  an- 
niversary of  the  order,  to  be  held  in  this  city 
the  latter  part  of  1922,  when  12,000  representa- 
tives of  the  160  Temples  in  North  America,  in- 
cluding Canadians  and  Mexicans,  are  expected 
►o  be  present  and  parade  through  the  streets  of 
New  York  in  their  picturesque  Oriental  cos- 
tuines. 

The  consummation  of  the  real  estate  deal  was 
the  occasion  of  a  quiet  celebration  in  the  even- 
ing by  prominent  Shriners  at  Mecca  Temple  in 
West  45th  st,  where  the  details  of  the  under- 
taking were  explained  by  Louis  N.  Donnatln, 
Recorder  of  tUe  Temple. 

"Originally  we  had  planned  to  combine  the 
new  home  for  Mecca  Temple  with  an  office 
building,  so  that  the  expenses  might  be  partly 
defrayed  by  rentals,"  explained  Mr.  Donnatin. 
"But  we  now  find  that  our  finances  are  in  ex- 
cellent shape,  as  is  indicated  by  the  fact  that 
our  surplus  is  $i  5,000  in  excess  of  that  of  last 
year,  and  we  feel  that  we  have  an  organization 
than  can  carry  out  the  undertaking. 

"We  have  nearly  $1,000,000,  and  what  addi- 
tional funds  we  may  need  we  will  raise  through 
the  Mecca  Temple  Holding  Co.,  recently  or- 
ganized to  do  the  underwriting.  The  holding 
company  will  raise  additional  funds  by  selling 
bonds  to  the  members  of  the  Mecca  Temple. 
We  have  11.080  members,  and  it  is  apparent 
that  the  cost  of  the  mosque  when  pro-rated 
among  this  number  represents  an  insignificant 
sum.  However,  we  cannot  expect  every  member 
to  furnish  his  theoretical  share  of  the  cost. 

"We  are  going  to  build  a  mosque  without 
asking  help  from  any  other  temple.  It  is  purely 
an  affair  for  the  local  organization  and  Mecca 
Temple  will  take  pride  in  the  fact  that  it  alone 
built  the  home  for  the  mother  temple. 

"Several  sketches  have  been  submitted  by 
nobles  who  are  skilled  architects  and  are  in- 
terested in  the  type  of  mosque  that  is  to  be 
constructed.  But  no  decision  has  been  reached 
as  to  the  exact  plan.  The  only  definite  decision 
has  been  that  we  are  to  have  a  building  of  our 
own  here  where  the  mother  of  all  temples  nay 
be   properly  housed. 

"Our  great  drawback  has  been  the  comp.ra- 
tively  limited  number  of  plots  offered.  We  luust 
build  for  the  future.  It  has  been  the  historj  of 
every  temple  that  the  original  plans  have  proved 
too  small  by  the  time  that  the  building  was 
completed. 

"Take  Syria  Mosque,  in  Pittsburgh,  for  in- 
stance. At  the  time  this  work  was  started  it 
was  declared  that  it  would  meet  all  require- 
ments tor  years  to  come.  Two  or  three  months 
a.gn  the  trustees  were  empowered  to  purchase  an 
additional  plot  on  one  side  for  the  purpose  of 
building  larger  foyers.  It  will  not  be  possible 
to  enlarge  the  auditorium,  but  they  want  to 
make  at  least  standing  room  for  those  nobles 
who  cannot  gain  admission  to  the  ceremonial 
itself.  Meriinah  Temple,  in  Chicago,  with  her 
great  membership  is  in  even  worse  condition 
They  cannot   enlarge. 

"We  do  not  want  to  make  the  same  error  and 
this  in  part  accounts  for  the  magnitude  of  the 
undertaking.  We  want  an  auditorium  that  will 
meet  the  demands  of  the  members.  We  will 
have  not  only  an  auditorium  with  a  suitable  ca- 
pacity, but  we  will  have  smoking  rooms,  a  ban- 
quet hall,  committee  rooms,  executive  offices 
club  rooms  and  a  limited  number  of  rooms  foi- 
visiting   Shriners." 

The  bonds  by  which  it  is  planned  to  rnioo  fi,p 
necessary  funds  to  carry  out  the  construction  of 
the  mosque  are  offered  to  the  members  of  Mecca

Benedict,  William  J.  Matthews,  Louis  N.  Don- 
natin,  Henry  C.  Arthur,  Paul  Jones  and  R.  A. 
Mansfield  Hobbs. 

Mecca  Temple  was  founded  in  this  city  50 
years  ago  by  William  J.  Florence,  an  old  actor, 
who  came  to  this  country  from  England.  The 
first  home  of  the  Temple  was  at  the  Old  Cottage, 
464  Sixth  av,  now  occupied  by  Mouquin's  Restau- 
rant. In  the  lUO  temples  on  the  North  Ameri- 
can continent  today  there  are  oO0,0U0  members, 
each  of  whom  is  assessed  $2  a  year,  which  is  to 
be  devoted  to  hospitals,  charities  and  other 
worthy  purposes. 

Robert  Levers  was  the  broker  in  the  sale  of 
the  new  Temple  site.  The  order  has  long  occu- 
pied a   converted  dwelling  at  107   West  45th  St.

at  an  annual  rental  of  $:;0.000,  and  with  an 
option  of  purchasing  the  property  for  .f.jDO.OOO. 

Subsequently  he  purchased  the  adjoining  altered 
dwelling  at  17  East  57th  st  from  Stephen  O. 
Lookwood.  The  latest  purchase  will  give  Mr. 
Hearst  control  of  a  frontage  of  82  feet  at  this 
point.

Hospital  Goes  from  East  to  West  Harlem 

Leon  S.  Altmayer  sold  for  Elizabeth  Mc- 
Dougall  the  bloik  front  on  the  west  side  of 
Manhattan  av,  from  West  123d  st  to  Hancock 
;>!  and  West  I24th  st.  The  purchaser  is  the 
Sydenham  Post  Graduate  Course  and  Hospital, 
who  will  immediately  erect  a  10-sty  fireproof 
hospital  on  the  plot.  The  hospital  will  be  non- 
soctarian  in  character  and  upon  its  completion 
will  be  one  of  the  most  modern  and  up-to-date 
hospitals  in   this  country. 

The  location  is  unusually  accessible,  as  it  is 
but  one  block  from  the  elevated  railroad  sta- 
tion on  Eighth  av  and  is  but  one  block  from  all 
(Tosstown  lines  on  125th  st  and  the  Fifth  av 
bus  and  St.  Nicholas  av  electric  carllnes  pass 
the  door.  It  has  unusual  light  and  air  advan- 
tages, having  frontages  on  four  streets.  It  is 
but  a  short  distance  from  the  new  Rockefeller 
School  being  erected  on  West  123d  st. 

One  of  the  features  of  the  new  hospital  build- 
ing is  the  elimination  of  wards,  as  every  patient, 
whetlLer  charity  or  pay,  will  have  a  separate 
room,  and  this  privacy  tends  to  hasten  re- 
coveries.    There  will  be  five  operating  pavilions. 

The  Sydenham  Post  Graduate  Course  and  Hos- 
pital has  been  functioning  for  the  last  18  years 
in  the  nine  old  buildings  at  331  to  347  East 
110th  St.  which  location  it  has  outgrown  and 
which  buildings  have  recently  been  sold  for 
the  hospital  by  Mr.  Altmayer  to  the  American 
National  Red  Cross  of  Washington,  D.  C,  and 
other  institutions  and  private  parties. 

When  completed,  the  new  building,  land  and 
equipment  will  represent  an  outlay  of  about 
$1,000,000.     The  plot  is  116.11x101.5x163.7x90.

N.  Y.  City  Contracts  Awarded  in  1921  Total  $394,754,400 

Amount  of  Construction  Work  Undertaken  by  Builders  25  Per  Cent.  Greater 
Than  1920  and  41  Per  Cent.  Over 


IN  1921  New  York  City  carried  through  the  largest  con- 
struction program  on  record  for  many  years,  according 
to  the  F.  W.  Dodge  Company.  The  total  amount  of  con- 
tracts awarded  during  the  year  was  $394,754,400;  This  figure 
is  25  per  cent  greater  than  the  total  for  1920,  which  was  $315,- 
048,650;  it  was  alo  41  per  cent  greater  than  the  total  for  1919, 
which  was  $279,478,200.  The  actual  volume  of  construction, 
distinguished  from  the  dollar  cost,  was  very  considerably 
greater  in  1921  than  in  either  of  the  two  previous  years. 

Residential  construction,  greatly  stimulated  by  the  Tax  Ex- 
emption Act,  has  been  largely  responsible  for  this  record  vol- 
ume of  building.  This  class  of  construction  accounted  for 
$262,184,400,  or  exactly  two-thirds  of  the  total. 

In  1921,  there  were  56,356,700  square  feet  of  residental  floor

space  contracted  for,  compared  with  15,142,000  square  feet  in 
1920,  and  38,179,500  square  feet  in  1919. 

Second  in  importance  to  residential  construction  in  1921 
was  the  construction  of  commercial  buildings,  which  accounted 
for  $70,062,200,  or  18  per  cent  of  the  year's  total.  Although  this 
was  considerably  les's  than  the  1920  volume  pf  construction  of 
this  class,  it  was  greater  than  the  corresponding  amount  for 
1919. 

The  total  amount  of  contracts  awarded  in  December  was 
$44,071,500,  an  increase  of  17  per  cent  over  the  November  fig- 
ure. This  increase,  unusual  for  the  closing  month  of  the  year, 
taken  with  the  fact  that  there  is  still  a  great  quantity  of  con- 
struction planned  which  has  not  yet  been  started,  is  an  indi- 
cation of  a  healthy  volume  of  activity  during  the  coming 
year.

Federal  Census  Shows  Industrial  Growth  of  Queens 


THE  industrial  importance  of  Queens  Borough  can  be 
best  gauged  by  the  facts  disclosed  in  the  figures  re- 
cently published  by  the  United  States  Census,  showing 
the  amount  of  manufacturing  in  each  State  in  the  Union  for 
the  year  1919,"  Ray  Palmer,  Chairman  of  the  Industrial  Pro- 
motion Committee  of  the  Queensboro  Chamber  of  Commerce 
stated  today.  "These  figures  show  that  Queens  Borough  ex- 
ceeded nineteen  different  states  in  the  amount  of  capital  in- 
vested in  manufacturing,  fifteen  states  in  the  total  value  of 
products   and  eight  states  in  the  number  of  industrial  estab- 


lishments. Moreover,  there  were  fourteen  states  which  had  a 
less  number  of  industrial  employees  and  sixteen  states  in  which 
a  less  amount  was  paid  for  salaries  and  wages  of  industrial 
employees." 

The  states  which  Queens  Borough  surpassed  in  the  amount 
of  capital  invested  in  manufacturing  are  Arizona,  Arkansas, 
Colorado,  Delaware,  Florida,  Idaho,  Kentucky,  Mississippi, 
Montana,  Nebraska,  Nevada,  New  Mexico,  Wyoming,  North 
Dakota,  Oklahoma,  Oregon,  South  Dakota,  Utah  and  Ver- 
mont. 


Manhattan  Building  Costs  in  1921  Aggregate  $142,448,868 


(Continued   from   page   19) 
drop  to  1906  from  which  time  on  the  number  of  new  building 
operations  were  about  the  same  each  year  till  the  war  broke 
out. 

"On  the  other  hand  the  average  cost  of  new  buildings  has 
proceeded  in  the  other  direction.  It  kept  fairly  steady  from 
the  beginning  to  early  in  the  '90's,  when  it  began  to  rise.  At 
the  end  of  that  period,  the  average  cost  of  a  new  building  was 
about  $60,000.  This  condition  continued  along  until  about  1907 
when  quite  suddenly  the  average  cost  of  a  new  building  nearly 
doubled,  remaining  in  that  condition  for  a  period  of  about  10 
years,  when  it  rose  again,  due  to  high  building  costs. 

"For  1921  the  estimated  cost  of  alterations  constituted  about 
WAfo  of  the  total  value  of  building  operations.  Comparing 
this  with  previous  periods,  there  is  indicated  a  gradual  rise  in 
this  proportion;  in  other  words,  and  generally  speaking,  as 
new  building  operations  decreased  in  number,  alterations  in- 
creased. Looking  back  over  the  table  of  the  1910  report,  it 
appears  that  there  has  been  always  a  considerable  reconstruc- 
tion going  on  in  Manhattan.     The  earlier  years  of  the  table 


show  that  the  numbers  of  alterations  are  not  much  diflferent 
from  the  numbers  of  new  building  operations.  Since  the 
record  of  building  operations  has  been  separately  kept  for  the 
borough  of  Manhattan,  it  appears  that  the  number  of  altera- 
tions far  exceeds  that  of  new  buildings;  that  is,  Manhattan  is 
being   steadily   reconstructed." 


Figures  of  the  United  States  Geological  Survey  show  that  the 
production  of  cement  for  the  first  eleven  months  of  1921 
amounted  to  91,734,000  barrels,  and  shipments  to  91,354,000  bar- 
rels. This  latter  figure  is  about  1  per  cent,  under  the  record 
shipments  for  the  first  eleven  months  of  1920,  and  about  9 
per  cent  greater  than  the  average  for  the  first  eleven  months 
of  years  1917  to  1921.  Production  of  cement  during  Novem- 
ber, amounting  to  8,921,000  barrels,  is  a  falling  off  from  the 
record  figure  of  October,  10,506,000  barrels,  but  is  about  17  per 
cent  higher  than  the  average  November  of  years  1917  to  1921 
inclusive.  Production  for  eleven  months  was  only  one-half 
per  cent  below  the  high  record  of  1920,  and  is  11  per  cent 
greater  than  the  average.

Improvement  in  Commercial 

MAINTAINING  the  high  average  of  the  past  four  or 
five  months  the  building  year  closed  with  a  record  of 
achievement  much  better  than  w?as  anticipated  during 
the  early  weeks  of  1921.  The  final  week  of  the  year  just  closed 
was  noteworthy  for  the  number  of  new  building  projects  being 
planned  by  local  architects  and  also  for  its  record  of  opera- 
tions actually  placed  under  contract  during  the  last  few  days 
of  the  old  year. 

Building  statistics  for  New  York  State  and  New  Jersey, 
north  of  Trenton,  for  the  closing  week  of  1921,  show  that 
architects  and  engineers  had  reported  work  on  342  plans  for 
new  structural  projects,  at  an  estimated  value  of  $13,373,000. 
These  figures,  as  tabulated  by  the  F.  W.  Dodge  Company  also 
show  the  award  of  261  contracts,  the  total  value  of  which  was 
approximately   $14,236,300. 

Despite  the  fact  that  residential  construction  continues  as 
the  dominating  factor  in  local  building  there  has  recently  been 
a  very  decided  improvement  in  the  general  building  outlook 
and  as  a  result  the  future  is  considered  bright  for  all  depart-

Among  the  342  operations  for  which  plans  were  announced 
during  the  final  week  of  1921  were  57  business  and  commercial 
projects  such  as  stores,  lofts,  office  buildings,  banks,  commer-

Principles  for  Standard  Contract  Approved 

General  principles  for  the  formulation  of 
one  standard  form  of  contract,  to  supplant 
the  200  various  styles  of  contract  now  in 
common  use,  and  which  can  be  made  uni- 
versally practical  for  all  branches  of  the 
construction  industry,  were  approved  at 
the  final  session  of  the  recent  joint  confer- 
ence of  engineers,  architects  and  contrac- 
tors at  the   Department  of  Commerce. 

Gen.  R.  C.  Marshall,  Jr.,  presented  a  plan 
for  this  standard  form  and  a  list  of  sub- 
jects w^hich  would  cover  ground  common 
to   all   construction   projects. 

A  sub-committee  consisting  of  Gen. 
Marshall  for  the  Associated  General  Con- 
tractors of  America;  W.  S.  Parker,  for  the 
American  Institute  of  Architects,  and  W. 
D.  Faucette,  of  the  American  .Railway  En- 
gineering Association,  was  appointed  to 
write  out  the  first  tentative  draft  of  the 
standard  form  and  submit  it  for  correction 
and  approval  to  the  full  conference  at  its 
next  meeting,  the  last  of  January. 

A  list  of  over  200  different  forms  of 
construction  contracts,  which  now  are  in 
general  use  and  which  always  have  been 
the  source  of  endless  litigation,  were 
placed  in  evidence,  and  it  was  found  that 
two-thirds  of  all  the  clauses  they  set  forth 
could  be  condensed  within  the  scope  of  the 
proposed  "agreement."  Such  a  simplifica- 
tion of  contracts  has  been  much  discussed, 
but  never  attempted  before.  The  confer- 
ence plans  to  devise  an  addenda  of  special 
conditions  for  each  industry,  to  be  at- 
tached to  the  standard  contract  form.

building  at  1  Broadu-ay,  formerly  known 
as   the   "Washington   Building." 

The  second  award  for  reconstruction 
was  made  to  Errett,  the  Lily  Cup  man,  for 
the  alteration  of  an  unattractive  saloon 
and  tenement  property  at  the  northwest 
corner  of  Fulton  and  Water  streets  into 
a  clean,  little  office  Ijuilding,  adding  dig- 
nity to  the  neighborliood. 

In  awarding  first  lienors  to  the  Lawyers 
Mortgage  Company  i  nnsideration  was  giv- 
en to  the  exceedingly  artistic  lines  and 
the  fact  that  this  or  ration  probably  more 
typically  amplifies  tlie  buy-for-occupancy 
movement  and  the  ni'ivement  to  hold  prop- 
erty for  such  purposes  in  the  downtown 
district  than  any  other  builciing.

RECORD    AND     GUIDE 


January  7,  1922' 


WHILE  Important  developments  in  the 
building  situation  liave  been  ladiing-, 
tlie  first  wfel<  of  1922  iias  ended  with  a 
feeling  throughout  the  industry  that  the 
weelvs  to  come  -will  be  far  different  from 
those  of  last  year,  when  the  future  was 
clouded  with  doubt  as  to  what  was  to  come 
For  the  most  part,  the  local  building  in- 
dustry is  now  optimistic,  as  the  improve- 
ment in  construction  lias  been  marked  dur- 
ing the  past  three  or  four  months  and  as 
there  is  a  vast  amount  of  new  building 
being  planned  the  future  is  promising. 

Although  there  is  a  possibility  that  resi- 
dential construction  will  show  somewhat 
of  a  falling-  off  during  the  coming  building 
season,  there  is  now  almost  every  assur- 
ance that  an  increase  in  commercial  and 
industrial  work  will  more  than  make  uji 
for  the  loss.  Reports  from  architects  and 
engineers  indicate  a  slow  but  steady  im- 
provement in  the  general  building  situa- 
tion. 

An  early  settlement  of  the  wage  scale 
controversy  would  do  more  to  improve  the 
building  outlook  than  any  other  single  fac- 
tor, but  it  is  liltely  that  it  will  be  at  least 
March  1  'before  a  new  agreement  is  con- 
summated. 

C:  iiiiiii>ii  nrick. — The  combination  of  hol- 
idays and  unusually  cold  weather  has  re- 
sult -d  in  greatly  curtailed  activity  in  tlie 
New  York  wliolesale  market  for  comirion 
brick.  Buying  was  relatively  light  as  com- 
pared with  the  average  weekly  sales  for 
the  previous  wt-eks.  but  the  business  of 
the  week  was  fair  when  the  business  of 
1:  st  year  at  this  time  is  considered.  Iii- 
(!i  iry  is  good,  however,  and  indicative  of 
an  active  brick  market  throughout  the  re- 
maining winter  and  earl>-  spring.  Because 
the  Hudson  River  is  ice-bound  nortli  off 
Newburgh  Bay  the  arriv.-^ls  this  weelv  were 
very  light.  Only  five  barge  loads  were 
docked  in  New  York,  and  thees  all  were 
from  tlie  Haverstraw  district.  Common 
bricl^  arrivals  from  Hudson  River  points 
are  lilvely  to  be  negligible  until  the  ice 
breaks  up.  but  there  is  an  ample  supply 
in  the  market  and  in  the  yards  of  the  deal- 
ers to  supply  all  immediate  requirements. 
Common  brick  prices  are  unchanged,  with 
the  range  from  $14  to  .?14.50  a  thousand  to 
dealers  in  cargo  lots,  according  to  quality.

Builders'  Hardware. — There  is  every 
promise  of  long-  continued  activity  in  this 
line,  as  building  prospects  are  excellent. 
There  are  still  many  operations  in  the 
final  stages  of  completion  and  plans  now 
in  preparation  indicate  one  of  the  most  ac- 
tive buildinu  seasons  soon  to  start.  Hard- 
ware prices  are  quite  steady,  but  as  a  num- 
ber of  tile  leading  manufactui'ers  now 
have  their  plants  on  a  full  production 
basis,  it  is  possible  that  some  further  re- 


ductions may  be  announced  during  the 
next  month  or  so. 

]Reiiif<»roing-  Bar.s. — The  new  year  opened 
witli  demand  extremely  light,  but  a  fair 
outlook  tor  further  business.  The  general 
building  situation  is  show-ing  steady  im- 
provement which  will  naturally  be  shortly 
reflected  in  all  material  requirements. 
Plans  now  on  the  boards  indicate  consid- 
erable new  industrial  construction  to  bo 
undertaken  this  year.  Prices  are  faily 
steady.

MATERIALS    AND    SUPPLIES 


the  local  market  for  fabricated  structural 
steel  is  i^ood  because  of  the  large  amount 
of  high  class  business  that  is  scheduled 
to  be  released  very  soon.  Several  very  im- 
portant building'  projects  have  been  placed 
under  contract  during  the  past  week  and 
othere  are  pending'.  In  all,  their  steel  re- 
quirements will  amount  to  a  most  satisfac- 
tory tonange.  There  was  a  slow  but  very 
consistent  improvement  in  the  fabricated 
steel  business  throughout  the  latter  half 
of  1921.  and  there  is  now  every  prospect 
of  a  continued  improvement  in  the  demand 
that  will  shortly  bring'  this  industry  back 


to  its  normal  tonnage  basis.  There  has 
lately  been  some  evidence  of  a  slight 
wi-akening  in  shape  prices,  but  with  a 
jump  in  demand  that  is  bound  to  come 
upon  the  release  of  the  tonnages  no'ft^ 
pending,  it  is  likely  that  this  tendency  will 
be  arrested.  Structural  steel,  fabricated 
and  erected  in  commercial  buildings,  is 
now  generally  quoted  at  $62  to  $G5  per 
ton,  according  to  type  of  operation.

plants  are  producing  at  approximately

as one  year  ago  but  one  or  two  plants  had 
orders  on  hand  that  kept  their  production, 
at  more  than  twenty-flve  per  cent,  of 
capacity.  Last  year  at  this  time  there  was 
but  little  nCAV  business  in  sight,  but  for 
the  coming  months  excellent  business  is 
lircdicted,  as  several  important  municipal 
orders  are  pending  and  it  is  quite  certain 
that  private  buyers  will  come  into  the 
market  within  the  next  few  weeks  with 
orders  that  will  involve  a  relatively  large 
total  tonnage.  According  to  recent  orders 
for  deliveries  during  the  next  two  months 
or  so  bviyers  of  pipe  are  not  anticipating 
any  important  drop  in  prices.  As  a  mat- 
ter of  fact  the  price  situation  is  remark- 
ably firm,  with  New  York  quotations  as 
follows:  6  in.  and  larger,  $47.30  per  net 
ton;  4  in.  and  5  in.,  $52.30;  3  in.,  $62,30,

tive building  it  is  likely  to  improve  as  the 
year  goes  on.  Demand  for  wiring  mate- 
rials is  particularly  good  at  present  and  In 
geneial  the  outlook  for  this  industry  is 
bright.  Prices  are  steady  and  no  changes 
of  importance  have  been  deported  during 
the  past  week,  but  there  are  some  who  an- 
ticipate a  further  favorable  revision  in 
discounts  at  an   early  date. 

Window  Glass.  —  Demand  continues 
strong,  and  there  is  every  prospect  of  an 
increase  in  the  consumption  requirements 
because  of  the  large  amount  of  new  con- 
struction now  scheduled  for  an  early  start. 
Although  it  is  not  anticipated  that  the 
house  Ijuilding  program  of  1922  will  be 
quite  as  extensive  as  it  was  last  year,  it 
.otill  will  involve  a  tremendous  total  out 
lay  and  there  is  a  vast  volume  of  non-resi- 
dential building  now  projected  that  will 
make  up  for  any  drop  in  the  former  class. 
At  present  glass  prices  are  steady  and  no 
changes  are  anticipated  before  February 
1. 

IVsiils. — No  changes  of  consequence  have 
occurred  in  the  local  nail  market  during 
the  past  week.  Demand  is  fair  and  inquir- 
ies denote  a  continuation  of  fairly  active 
business.  Stocks  are  adequate  and  prices 
firm  and  practically  unchanged.  New 
York  quotations  are  as  follows:  $3.50  to 
$3.70  base,  per  keg  for  wire  nails  and  $4.25 
to  $4.45   base,  per  keg,  for  cut  nails.

Worry  Kills 

They  say  that  worry  has  killed 
more  people  than  disease. 

Every  once  in  a  while  we  see  some 
one  who  is  really  worried  over  title 
troubles. 

This,  however,  is  never  a  person 
who  holds  our  title  policy.  In  such 
cases,  we  are  the  people  who  pay  for 
you  without  worrying,  for  this  is 
our   business. 

Title  insurance  is  not  expensive 
and  it  brings  with  it  a  great  deal  of 
comfort   and   peace   of   mind.

Conflicting  Views  as  to  Housing  Situation 

What  are  the  real  facts  about  the  housing  situation  here 
in  New  York  at  the  opening  of  the  year  1922?  Is  the 
shortage  in  living  quarters  as  great  as  when  the  Emergency 
Rent  Laws  were  passed  sixteen  months  ago?  Does  a  crisis 
still  exist  which  is  so  serious  as  to  warrant  the  Lockwood 
Committee  in  urging  the  new  Legislature  to  extend  these 
Emergency  Rent  Laws  for  another  year  ? 

At  recent  hearings  before  the  Lockwood  Committee  its 
counsel,  Mr.  Untermyer,  brought  out  testimony  from  sever- 
al witnesses  which  resulted  in  big  headlines  in  the  news- 
papers declaring  "House  Famine  Called  Worst  in  City's 
History,"  "Housing  Shortage  as  Bad  Now  as  Ever,"  and 
other  headlines  somewhat  less  disconcerting,  the  whole  ex- 
hibit being  finished  off  with  the  statement  "Lockwood 
Committee  Fails  to  See  Where  Crisis  Has  Passed." 

As  against  these  views  of  the  present  situation,  no  pub- 
licity was  accorded  the  statement  submitted  to  the  committee 
by  Mr.  Charles  G.  Edwards,  President  of  the  Real  Estaite 
Board  of  New  York,  in  which  he  declared  "The  allegation 
that  there  is  a  housing  shortage  of  70,000  living  quarters 
in  the  City  of  New  York  at  this  time  is  utterly  without 
foundation  of  fact." 

It  is  clearly  evident  from  the  foregoing  that  a  wide  differ- 
ence of  opinion  exists  as  to  the  present  housing  shortage  in 
the  metropolis.  Either  some  of  the  Lockwood  Committee 
witnesses  who  get  big  headlines  in  the  daily  papers  are  in 
error,  or  else  the  leaders  of  the  Real  Estate  Board  of  New 
York,  whose  statements  do  not  get  similar  headline  treat- 
ment, presumably  because  they  are  less  sensational,  are  in 
error.  If  the  desire  is  to  get  all  the  facts,  surely  the  state- 
ments and  views  of  such  men  as  Mr.  Edwards  are  entitled 
to  as  much  consideration  and  as  much  publicity  as  the  more 
sensational  statements  of  the  "crisis"  witnesses.  The  public 
cannot  determine  whether  or  not  a  crisis  still  exists,  and 
neither  can  the  Lockwood  Committee  nor  the  Legislature 
determine  that  point,  unless  all  of  the  facts  are  placed  before 
them  and  given  consideration  in  exact  proportion  to  their 
relative  merits. 

In  order  that  the  pertinent  and  convincing  facts  assembled 
by  President  Edwards  may  be  fully  read  and  discussed,  the 
Record  and  Guide  prints  elsewhere  in  this  issue  the  com- 
plete text  of  the  statement  which  the  Lockwood  Committee 
declined  to  accept  as  testimony,  but  which  its  counsel  said 
would  have  the  consideration  of  the  committee.  The  "crisis" 
testimony,  of  course,  already  had  gone  into  the  commit- 
tee's records. 

The  most  reliable  information  the  Record  and  Guide 
has  been  able  to  gather  shows  conclusively  that  the  housing 
shortage  is  not  nearly  so  serious  today  as  it  was  when  the 
Emergency  Rent  Laws  were  enacted.  It  is  true,  as  Presi- 
dent Edwards  pointed  out  in  his  statement,  that  "overcrowd- 
ing and  congestion  of  today  exists  among  the  same  classes 
of  people  and  for  the  same  reason  as  have  obtained  for 
years  in  this  and  every  other  large  city."  Mr.  Edwards' 
declaration  that  "housing  conditions  in  New  York  City  have 
not  impaired  and  do  not  imperil  the  public  health"  must  be 
logically  sound — otherwise  no  reliance  can  be  placed  in  Com- 


missioner Copeland's ;  statement  that  New  York  is  the 
healthiest  city  in  the  world.  These  are  only  two  vital  as- 
pects of  the  situation  which  Mr.  Edwards  covered  in  his 
statement.  He  brought  out  many  other  pertinent  points, 
one  of  which  is  that  if  the  emergency  actually  is  greater 
today  than  it  was  when  the  Emergency  Rent  Laws  were 
enacted  that  in  itself  proves  the  emergency  laws  have  not 
provided  a  remedy  and  some  other  remedy  must  be  found. 


Construction  Outlook  for  1922  Good 

When  all  of  the  factors  are  taken  into  consideration  1921 
was  anything  but  a  bad  year  for  the  building  industry,  after 
all.  True,  there  were  periods  of  considerable  weakness, 
and  in  many  ways  conditions  could  have  been  more  favor- 
able, but  when  the  results  of  the  past  twelve  months  are 
viewed  in  retrospect  the  only  fair  conclusion  is  that  the  year 
was  a  period  of  definite  progress  and  achievement  in  con- 
struction. 

There  is  no  fact  of  greater  significance  for  its  influence 
upon  the  final  results  of  the  year  than  the  manner  in  which 
the  volume  of  building  and  engineering  commitments  steadi- 
ly increased,  the  record  of  each  month  surpassing  that  of 
the  previous  one,  until  the  totals  of  the  closing  month  estab- 
lished an  unusually  high  record. 

The  fine  showing  made  by  the  December,  1921  building 
totals  for  the  entire  country,  as  indicated  by  the  figures 
tabulated  by  the  F.  W.  Dodge  Company,  following  the  ex- 
cellent records  of  the  four  previous  months,  is  an  added 
confirmation  of  the  nearness  of  the  long-predicted  revival 
in  the  building  industry.  Every  present  indication  is  that 
1922  will  witness  a  measurably  greater  volume  of  construc- 
tion activity  than  that  embodied  in  the  ambitious  program  of 
the  year  recently  closed. 

Prominent  among  the  factors  favorable  to  a  record  build- 
ing year  in  1922  are  the  still  unsatisfied  demands  for  build- 
ings of  almost  every  type  and  in  practically  every 
community,  and  the  steadily  increasing  amount  of  money 
available  for  investment  in  new  construction  projects.  Lack 
of  available  funds  has  been  one  of  the  chief  deterrents  to 
building  progress  during  the  post-war  years,  but  it  is  quite 
apparent  now  that  investors  are  looking  with  greater  favor 
upon  investments  in  real  estate  and  buildings.  With  suf- 
ficient money  assured  one  of  the  most  serious  of  the  build- 
ing retardants  will  have  been  eliminated. 

Although  there  is  every  likelihood  that  residential  con- 
struction will  continue  to  predominate  through  the  coming 
building  season,  because  there  is  still  a  national  shortage 
of  living  accommodations,  the  records  of  the  past  few 
months  show  conclusively  that  the  percentage  of  work  of 
this  character  will  be  considerably  lower  than  it  was  last 
year  and  in  closer  contact  to  a  normal  ratio.  According  to 
the  plans  already  announced  and  an  analysis  of  the  recent 
commitments,  the  coming  months  will  witness  a  marked  im- 
provement in  the  volume  of  commercial  and  industrial  con- 
struction, the  latter,  however,  largely  dependent  upon  a 
general  business  revival. 

Taken  as  a  whole  there  is  every  reason  for  the  building

industry  to  be  optimistic  regarding  its  prospects  for  the 
coming  months.  There  is  a  vast  amount  of  contemplated 
construction  now  being  planned  which,  when  added  to  the 
operations  now  estimating  or  actually  under  contract,  will 
insure  ample  work  for  all  trades  during  the  coming  season. 
The  building  material  markets  are  fairly  well  stabilized  as 
to  prices  and  essential  basic  materials  are  easily  available 


in  amounts  sufficient  to  meet  all  requirements.  Money  is 
easier  and  there  is  a  firm  desire  to  start  operations  on  the 
part  of  a  host  of  prospective  builders.  The  only  factor  that 
remains  uncertain  at  present  is  building  labor,  and  there  is 
good  reason  to  anticipate  that  this  problem  will  be  settled 
within  a  short  time  to  the  entire  satisfaction  of  all  interested 
in  the  building  industry. 


Harry  Hall  Delivers  First  1922  Y.  M.  C.  A.  Real  Estate  Lecture 


THE  iirst  k-cture  of  the  season  of  1922,  under  the  auspices 
of  the  Real  Estate  Class  of  the  West  Side  Y.  M.  C.  A., 
was  delivered  Tuesday  evening  by  Harry  Hall,  a  member 
of  the  well-known  real  estate  firm  of  William  A.  White  &  Sons. 
A  distinctive  feature  of  the  meeting  was  the  keen  human  inter- 
est shown  in  the  subject  discussed.  Entitled  "As  New  York 
Grows,"  Mr.  Hall's  address  was  a  survey  of  the  development 
of  the  metropolis  during  the  last  century.  The  attendance 
was  the  largest  that  has,  so  far,  appeared  to  hear  a  lecture 
about  real  estate.  Mr.  Hall  answered  a  variety  of  questions 
about  real  estate  that  were  asked  him  by  members  of  the 
class.  The  speaker  was  much  impressed  by  the  intelligent 
interest  shown  in  the  subject. 

William  C.  Demorest,  who  introduced  Mr.  Hall,  laid  stress 
on  the  fact  that  the  real  estate  business  in  this  city  has  become 
a  profession  that  required  as  honorable  and  confidential  a 
relation  as  exists  between  lawyer  and  client. 

Mr.  Hall  gave  an  interesting  sketch  of  the  growth  of  the 
city  from  its  evacuation  by  the  British  in  1783  up  to  1900,  com- 
paring its  growth  to  that  of  a  human  body,  which  when  born 
into  the  world  is  a  small  but  complete  organism,  with  veins, 
arteries,  heart  and  organs,  and  a  suitable  frame  covered  with 
flesh  which  as  it  grows  expands  in  all  its  parts. 

So  New  York's  framework  may  be  said  to  consist  of  Broad- 
way as  its  backbone,  the  main  cross  streets  as  its  ribs,  with  the 
transportation  lines  its  arteries,  the  business  districts  and  mar- 
kets its  digestive  organs,  the  banking  system  its  heart  and  veins 
and  its  residences  its  fiesh,  all  of  which  have  expanded  con- 
sistently to  meet  the  city's  growing  population,  fed  by  its 
increasing  commerce. 

He  drew  a  picture  of  the  little  town  of  10,000  people  which 
the  end  of  the  Revolution  found  wrecked  bs'  fire,  with  ruined 
trade  and  an  empty  treasury,  and  traced  its  gradual  develop- 
ment with  picturesque  descriptions  of  its  life  and  appearance 
at  dififerent  periods;,  emphasizing  especially  the  important 
events,   which   induced  its   phenomenal   growth,  which   he   said 


were  the  development  of  its  shipping  interests  in  the  early  days 
of  the  century,  the  invention  of  the  steamboat  in  1807,  the 
opening  of  the  Erie  Canal  in  1825,  the  coming  of  the  railroads 
in  the  thirties  which  made  possible  the  opening  of  unoccupied 
areas  of  the  continent,  the  introduction  of  the  Croton  Water 
System  in  1842,  the  invention  of  the  telegraph  in  1846,  the  open- 
ing of  the  Elevated  Railroads  in  1880,  the  invention  of  the 
telephone,  the  introduction  of  electric  lights  at  about  the  same 
time  and  finally  the  adaptation  of  steel  to  building  construction 
in  1884. 

Mr.  Hall  gave  some  interesting  reminiscences  of  his  own 
early  recollections  of  New  York  in  1880  and  traced  the  north- 
ward movement  of  the  social  centre,  retail  stores,  hotels  and 
theatres  as  the  town  grew  in  size. 

He  called  attention  to  the  fact  that  in  1900  there  was  no 
business  centre  north  of  Madison  Square,  no  Public  Library, 
Pennsylvania  Terminal  or  Grand  Central  development,  no  sub- 
way, tubes,  "movies,"  and  very  few  automobiles.  That  the 
present  Equitable  Building,  the  Woolworth,  Bankers  Trust  and 
City  Investing  buildings  were  not  then  in  existence  and  stated 
that  since  1890  practically  the  entire  financial  district  had  been 
rebuilt. 

Following  his  simile  of  a  human  person  he  stated  his  belief 
that  the  city  had  just  about  arrived  at  early  manhood  and 
that  the  next  twenty-five  years  would  see  still  greater  atid 
more  important  development  than  the  past  quarter  century. 

He  ended  with  a  comparative  example  of  values  at  different 
periods  in  various  parts  of  the  town,  such  as  Wall  street,  Fifth 
avenue  and  Times  Square,  showing  among  other  items  that 
John  Jacob  Astor  bought  the  Eden  Farm  about  1840  for  $34,000 
and  that  the  lease  of  the  Hotel  Astor,  occupying  only  a  small 
corner  of  the  farm,  had  recently  been  renewed  for  twenty  years 
at  an  annual, rental  of  $500,000. 

At  the  close  of  the  lecture  the  meeting  was  thrown  open 
for  informal'  discussion  in  which  many  of  the  audience  par- 
ticipated. 


Month-to-Monlh  Tenants  Get  Thirty  Davs'  Notice 


THE  .Appellate  Term  of  the  Supreme  Court,  Brooklyn,  has 
rendered  a  decision  that  a  month-to-month  tenant  must 
get  thirty  days'  notice  from  the  landlord  of  intention  to 
terminate  tenancy,  and,  that  the  landlord  may  not  sue  the  tenant 
for  possession  of  the  premises  unless  the  notice  has  been  given. 
The  opinion  was  written  by  Justice  Charles  Kelby,  and  con- 
curred in  by  Justices  Cropsey  and  Lazansky.  The  case  was 
appealed  from  the  Municipal  Court,  in  which  Richmond  Weed 
bro.ught  an  action  to  recover  $721  from  his  tenant,  Matthew  W. 
Carswell  of  61  Sanford  avenue,  Flushing. 

"The  original  agreement  or  lease  having  expired,  the  tenant 
holds  over  by  force  of  the  statute  in  the  absence  of  any  new 
agreement,"  says  the'  decision.  "Even  if  the  tenant  makes  a 
new  agreement  he  can  attack  the  rent  reserved  as  unjust  and 
unreasonable  on  the  first  day  that  the  rent  accrues.  Under 
these  circumstances  there' is  no  necessity  of  the  landlord  notify- 
ing the  tenant  that  after  the  expiration  of  his  term  use  and 
occupancy  will  be  at  an  increased  rate. 

"In  the  case  of  tenancies  from  month  to  month,  or  monthly 
tenancies,  a  dififerent  rule  applies.  Under  the  terms  of  Chapter 
,209,  Laws  of  1920,  such  a  tenant,  in  the  absence  of  service 
of  the  notice  to  quit  therein  provided  for  has  the  right  to 
occupy  the  premises  for  another  month  at  the  same  rent.  This 
statute  has  not  been  repealed. 


"Summary  proceedings  to  recover  real  property  under  Chap- 
ter 942,  Laws  of  1920,  must  still  be  predicated  upon  thiv 
statutorj'  notice  to  quit.  If,  therefore,  a  landlord  W'sbes  to 
sue  k  monthly  tenatit  or  a  tenant  from  month'  to  mont'.i  for  use 
and  occupation,  or  upon  an  implied  agreement  for  an  increased 
.  rental,  he  must  serve  the  tenant  with  a  thirty  days'  notice, 
stating  that  he  elects  to  terminate  the  tenancy.  In  the  absence 
of  such  notice  the  landlord  can  recover  from  the  tenant  only 
the  former  monthly  rent  agreed  upon. 

"While  Chapter  209,  Laws  of  1920,  does  not  in  terms  provide 
what  we  have  above  stated,  we  believe  that  must  necessarily  be 
ts  meaning  and  effect.  That  statute  clearly  intended  to  prevent 
a  tenant  from  being  dispossessed  unless  he  had  received  at 
lease  thirty  days'  notice  of  the  termination  of  his  existing 
agreement. 

"If,  witliout  having  given  such  notice,  the  landlord  at  the 
end  of  any  month  could  claim  that  the  reasonable  rental  value 
was  greater  than  the  amount  heretofore  paid  and  could  sue  the 
tenant  therefor,  he  would,  if  successful,  obtain  a  judgment 
against  the  tenant  under  which  the  latter  could  be  dispossessed 
unless  he  paid  the  judgment  within  five  days.  In  this  way  the 
landlord  might  dispossess  his  tenant  without  having  given  him 
any  notice.  This  would  virtually  nullify  the  provision  of 
Chapter  209  of  the  Laws  of  1920."

REAL    ESTATE     SECTION 


Realty   Board   Holds   Housing  Emergency   Has  Passed 

President   Edwards   Submits  Memorandum  to  Lockwood  Committee  Which  Reveals 
Marked  Improvement  in  Situation,  Despite  Testimony  to  the  Contrary 


THE  question  of  whether  the  emergency  rent  laws,  which 
expire  on  November  1,  next,  should  be  extended  for 
another  year  was  taken  up  by  the  Joint  Legislative  Com- 
mittee on  Housing,  of  which  Senator  Charles  C.  Lockwood  is 
chairman,  at  the  hearing  on  Thursday,  January  6.  City  oflficials 
and  representatives  of  the  Real  Estate  Board  and  other  realty 
interests  were  called  as  witnesses  to  testify  as  to  housing  con- 
ditions at  the  present  time.  The  testimony  of  the  city  officials 
as  brought  out  by  Samuel  Untermyer,  counsel  to  the  Commit- 
tee, indicated  that  the  emergency  is  as  acute  as  a  year  ago  and 
that  there  is  a  shortage  of  low-priced  apartments.  The  realty 
experts,  on  the  other  hand,  contended  that  until  a  survey  of 
housing  conditions  was  made  by  competent  authorities  it  would 
be  impossible  to  decide  whether  the  extension  of  the  emergency 
rent   laws   and  of  tax  exemption  was  necessary. 

This  suggestion  was  first  made  by  Charles  G.  Edwards, 
president  of  the  Real  Estate  Board,  who  testified  that  in  the 
opinion  of  that  organization  the  emergency  under  which  the 
rent  laws  were  enacted  no  longer  existed,  but  he  promised  if 
a  survey  should  prove  otherwise  that  the  organization  of 
which  he  is  head  would  make  no  objection  to  the  extension 
of  the  laws  for  another  year.  At  a  subsequent  hearing  of  the 
Committee  on  last  Tuesday  when  Mr.  Edwards  was  recalled  to 
to  the  stand,  he  presented  a  memorandum  respecting  the  hous- 
ing situation,  which  is  given  in  full  below,  stating  that  it  was 
the  primary  purpose  of  the  memorandum  to  justify  the  request 
of  the  Board  for  a  full  and  impartial  investigation  of  the  pres- 
ent housing  situation  with  the  view  of  determining 

1.  Whether  a  general  housing  shortage  exists  or  whether 
the  shortage  is  limited  to  housing  for  particular  classes  of  our 
population? 

2.  Whether  or  not  the  existing  rent  laws  have  operated  to 
discourage  the  construction  of  multi-family  buildings,  particu- 
larly of  those  within  the  means  of  mechanics,  laborers  and 
other  wage-earners? 

3.  Whether  or  not  the  existing  rent  laws  should  be  continued 
or  should  be  replaced  by  a  re-enactment  of  the  so-called 
"April  Laws,"  perfected  by  the  remedying  of  the  defects  there- 
in indicated  by  Justice  Spiegelberg,  on  lines  suggested  by  the 
Real  Estate  Board  of  New  York  in  September,  1920.  The  main 
purpose  of  the  proposed  change  being  to  relieve  the  municipal 
courts  of  the  ever-rising  flood  of  "jury"  cases. 

Mr.  Untermyer,  after  glancing  briefly  at  the  memorandum, 
said  he  would  not  accept  it  for  the  record  as  testimony  but 
told  Mr.  Edwards  it  would  be  considered  by  the  committee  as 
a  brief. 

Mr.  Edwards'  memorandum  follows: 

Thi.'  Ke:il  E.?t:ite  Board  of  New  York  respectfully  asserts: 

1.  That  tht*  report  of  the  Joint  T.effisnItiTe  Housing  Commit-

lep'islatii'e  se.vsion  of  .September,  1!»20. 

This  alleged  emergency  was  that  from  60,000  to  100.000  fami- 
lies would  lie  thrown  out  upon  the  streets  of  New  York  City  on 
October  1.  1920.  unless,  meanwhile,  the  Legislature  intervened  to 
prevent  it. 

No  such  emerg-ency  existed  or  could  have  existed  in  September, 
1920.  for.  at  thot  time,  there  was  upon  the  statute  books  a  series 
of  laws  enacted  at  the  regular  session  of  1920  (Chaps.  130,  131. 
135-139.  T.,.  1920)  which  was  fully  adequate  to  prevent  any  such 
general  flood  of  evictions  on  October  1.  1920,  as  -was  prophesied 
by  the  iii-omoters  of  the  alleged  "public  emergency." 


Upon  this  point,  at  page  7  of  the  printed  report  of  the  Joint 
Legislative  Housing-  Committee  to  the  Legi.slature.  dated  Septem- 
ber 20,  1920.  there  is  this  declaration:  "THE  1920  RENT  LAWS 
WERE  GENERALLY  SUCCESSFUL  IN  PREVENTING  EVIC- 
TIONS. RUT  PARTIALLY  FAILED  TO  STOP  EXORBITANT  IN- 
CREASES OP  RENT." 

In  a  public  address  delivered  at  the  Fort  Washington  Demo- 
cratic Club  in  New  York  City  on  October  14.  1920,  Justice  Freder- 
ick Spiegelberg,  of  the  Municipal  Court,  said: 

"I  told  the  members  of  the  Legislative  Committee  in  August, 
and  I  have  repeated  it  ever  since  privately  and  in  public,  that 
the  old  laws  should  continue,  with  certain  amendments  of  a 
minor  character.  But  the  spectre  of  October  1  arose  before  the 
Legislature.  They  were  in  a  panic.  They  meant  well,  but  they 
were  in  a  panic  and  nothing  could  stop  them.  The  newspapers 
took  the  matter  up.  Lurid  statements  were  made  about  one 
hundred  thousand  dispossess  proceedings  having  been  started 
on  October  1.  How  they  could  have  known  I  do  not  know,  be- 
cause a  dispossess  proceeding  cannot  start  in  advance  of  Oc- 
tober 1.  October  1  must  pass  before  the  proceeding  is  to  be 
taken.  But  they  were  in  ,-i.  panic,  and.  strange  to  ?ay,  the  panic 
did  not  start  so  much  among  the  members  of  the  Legislature 
from  this  borough,  not  even  from  the  Bronx,  but  from  Brook- 
lyn." 

The  Real  Estate  Board  of  New  York  has  a  full  stenographic 
"eport  of  Justice  Spiegelberg's  address  and  insists  that  he  tie 
called  as  a  witness  by  the  Joint  Legislative  Housing  Committee 
to  verify  or  deny  the  statements  herein  quoted  from  his  said  ad- 
dress. 

Furthermore.  It  is  also  stated  in  the  same  report  of  the  Joint 
Legislative  Committee  on  Housing   (p.  6)  as  follows: 

"During  the  past  year  the  calendars  of  Municipal   Courts  of 

New   York    City   have   been    so  congested   with   rent   cases    that 

other  business  has  been  deferred." 

But  this  condition  operated  to  check  evictions  rather  than  to 
promote  them,  since  it  delayed  the  obtaining  of  final  orders  of 
dispossess,  and  accordingly,  the  application  for  and  granting  of 
stays  of  such  orders;  meanwhile,  of  cousre.  the  tenants  continued 
in  their  occupancy  undisturbed.  Under  these  circumstances,  the 
service  of  even  60,000  notices  requiring  tenants  to  quit  on  Oc- 
tober 1,  1920.  could  not  possibly  have  operated  to  create  an  emer- 
gency. No  tenant  could  have  been  evicted  on  October  1.  1920.  on 
a  notice  to  quit  on  that  date,  because  the  notice  was  merely  the 
first  step  in  a  legal  proceeding  that  would  necessarily  have  been 
delayed,  on  account  of  the  congestion  in  Municipal  Courts,  and 
the  final  order  in  which  could  have  been  Judicially  stayed  for  a 
further  period  of  twelve  months. 

On  Sunday,  September  26.  1920.  "The  World."  at  p.  18.  printed  a 
dispatch  from  its  Albany  correspondent  which  contains  the  fol- 
lowing illuminating  paragraph: 

"Much    was    said   of   the   session    concerning   the    'October   1 
crisis.'     A  person  not  famili.nr  with  the  situation  would  have 
thought  that  unless  the  laws  were  passed  before  .September 
30.  half  the  tenants  in  New  York  City  would  have  found  them 
selves  in  the  streets  along  with  their  goods  and  chattels.  This 
was  merely  a.  talking  point.     In  the  vernacular  of  the  busi- 
ness   world,    the    legislative    leaders    had    something    to    'sell' 
and  they  took   this  way  of  disposing  of  it.     As  a  matter  of 
fact,    the    old    laws    fully    protected    the    tenants    during    the 
month  of  October.     What  was  accomplished  was  to  free  the 
courts    of   thousands   of   dispossess   cases   which    the   Justices 
had  authority  to  stay  and  quiet  the  nerves  of  the  tenants." 
In    the    interest    of    the    truth,    concerning    the    alleged    "emer- 
.gency"   that   moved   the  Legislature   at   its   extraordinary   session 
of  1920.  the  Real  Estate  Board  of  New  York  submits  that  the  pub- 
lisher of  "The  World"  should  be  required  to  disclose  the  name  of 
tbe  correspondent   who   wrote   the   paragraph   above   quoted   and 
that    he    be    subpoenaed    to    appear    before    the    Joint    Legislative 
Housing  Committee  and  be  ex.nmined  as  to  the  truth'or  falsity  of 
the  assertions  contained  in  said  paragraph.     Let  us  see  whether 
or  not   the  alleged  "emergency"  was  merely  a  "talking  point  of 
legislative  leaders  who  had  'something  to  sell.'  " 

The  existing  Landlord  and  Tenant  Laws  have  produced  the 
present  intolerable  condition  of  congestion  and  oppression  in  the 
.Municip.nl  Courts  by  transferrins  the  function  of  ascertaining 
what  is  a  reasonable  rent  from  the  Municipal  Court  Justices  to 
Municipal  Court  Juries,   composed   usually  of  tenants  alone. 

Under  Chapter  137  of  the  Laws  of  1920,  the  determination  of 
the  amount  to  be  paid  for  use  and  occupation  by  a  hold-over 
tenant  was  lodged  In  the  discretion  of  the  trial  Justice,  who  might 
.?ran.t  a  stay  of  dispossess  for  a  year,  subject  to  the  payment  of 


40 


RECORD    AND    GUIDE

the  adjudged  rental  value  of  the  demised  premises  for  such  a 
period.  This  operated  to  stabilize  the  holdover's  tenancy,  both 
as  to  its  term  and  the  return  to  the  landlord.  Had  the  law  been 
efficiently  and  uniformly  administered  by  the  Municipal  Court 
Justices,  it  would  have  operated  satisfactorily  to  all  concerned. 
But,  as  stated  by  Justice  Spiegelberg,  in  his  address  before  the 
Fort  Washington  Democratic  Club  on  October  14,  1920: 

"The  grave  defect  and  the  one  grave  defect  in  the  April 
hold-over  law  was  this:  These  laws  had  to  be  administered  by 
individuals.  A  person  when  he  becomes  a  judge  does  not 
cease  to  be  a  human  being  fortunately,  and  these  laws  were 
administered  differently  by  some  and  differently  by  others. 
Some  of  the  judges  were  very  strict  and  in  my  judgment 
very  narrow-minded.  Notwithstanding  the  fact  that  the  law 
was  primarily  to  try  to  continue  the  tenant  in  his  home,  with 
adequate  compensation  to  the  landlord,  some  of  the  judges 
limited  the  stay  to  thirty  days  and  that  was  the  end  of  it. 
They  played  directly  into  the  hands  of  the  very  man  we  all 
condemn,  whether  they  are  friends  of  the  landlords  or  friends 
of  the  tenants.  I  do  not  criticise  these  judges.  They  are  per- 
fectly conscientious.  Some  of  them  I  have  recently  talked 
to.  They  are  perosnal  friends  of  mine  and  they  are  very 
high-minded  men.  They  are  very  conscientious,  but  they  took 
a  view  of  these  laws  which  to  me  was  absolutely  false  and 
wrong." 

Although  it  was  quite  feasible  to  remedy  the  defect  in  the 
law  indicated  by  Justice  Spiegelberg,  the  Legislature  in  its  panic 
at  the  extraordinary  session  of  1920  substituted  therefor  a  series 
of  enactments  that  made  it  plain  that  the  real  emergency  actu- 
ating the  lawmakers  was  that  the  Municipal  Justices  would  not 
enforce  the  April  laws  in  a  uniform  and  reasonable  manner.  These 
new  laws  deprive  the  Justices  of  the  discretionary  power  to  grant 
stays  in  summary  proceedings  and  created  a  statutory  stay  of  all 
such  proceedings,  witli  a  few  specified  exceptions,  until  Novem- 
ber 1,  1922,  and  made  it  possible  for  the  tenant  in  every  action 
for  rent  or  rental  value  to  demand  a  jury  trial  upon  the  issue  of 
the  reasonableness  of  the  rent  or  rental  value  demanded  and 
every  other  issue  of  fact  involved  in  a  landlord-and-tenant  con- 
troversy. It  is  this  change  in  the  form  of  procedure  In  landlord- 
and-tenant  litigations  which  has  choked  the  machinery  of  the 
Municipal  Courts  with  an  impossible  grist  of  "jury"  cases.  The 
Real  Estate  Board  of  New  York  insists  that  Justices  of  the  Muni- 
cipal Court,  and  particularly  Justices  Levy,  Spiegelberg,  Davies, 
Genung  and  Law,  be  examined  by  the  Joint  Legislative  Housing 
Committee,  to  determine  whether  or  not  a  return  to  the  proce- 
dure that  obtained  under  the  April  laws  is  not  preferable  to  ttie 
existing  state  of  congestion  and  confusion  in  their  courts  and  in 
the  Appellate  Terms  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  First  and  Sec- 
ond Departments. 

Upon  this  point,  the  Real  Estate  Board  of  New  York  calls  par- 
ticular attention  to  the  statement  of  Assemblyman  Joseph  V. 
McKee,  printed  in  "The  World"  of  September  S,  1921,  under  the 
title  "Rent  Law  Justice  of  Kinds  as  Many  as  the  Justices."  In 
this  statement,  the  Assemblyman  is  quoted  as  follows: 

"Assemblyman  Joseph  V.  McKee,  attorney  for  the  associa- 
tion, said  yesterday  he  personally  handled  a  case  in  which 
three  sets  of  tenants  living  in  the  same  house  received  from 
three  judges  decisions  that  ranged  from  no  increase  at  all  to 
$15.  In  each  case,  the  rooms  had  originally  rented  for  $24." 
Speaking  of  the  Justices  in  the  Bronx,  Mr.  McKee  said:  'No 
two  judges  try  their  cases  alike.  One  makes  no  allowance 
for  depreciation;  another  requires  the  landlord  to  submit 
proof  of  his  depreciation,  while  a  third  takes  an  arbitrary 
two  per  cent.  One  Judge  requires  the  landlord  to  put  in 
proof  of  expenses  for  repairs.  Another  won't  receive  such 
proof  in  the  bill  of  particulars  and  arbitrarily  allows  10  per 
cent,  of  the  rentals." 

2.  The  :illeg:atioii  that  there  is  a  housing  shortage  of  70,000 
IlTlne  quarters  in  the  City  of  New  York  at  this  time  is  utterly 
Yvithout  foundation  of  fact. 

It  is  a  matter  of  general  knowledge  that  during  the  period  be- 
tween 190S  and  1916,  inclusive,  there  was  a  heavy  over-produc- 
tion of  moderately-priced  apartments,  which  frequently  resulted 
In  liberal  concessions  of  free  rent  to  new  tenants  therein.  There 
was  certainly  no  unusual  housing  shortage  in  the  City  of  New 
York  in  1916,  as  has  been  established  by  the  figures  of  Superin- 
tendents of  Buildings.  Since  1917,  as  testified  by  the  Tenement 
House  Commissioner  on  January  5,  1922,  before  the  Joint  Legis- 
lative Housing  Committee,  apartments  for  29,120  families  have 
been  produced  in  new  multi-family  houses,  as  follows: 

1917    14,241   apartments 

1918   2,706  apartments 

1919   1,624  apartments 

1920   4,822  apartments 

1921    5,677  apartments 

These  additions  provided  living  quarters  for  approximately 
145,600  persons.  But  this  is  not  all.  During  1921,  Commissioner 
Mann  testified,  accommodations  for  about  14,000  families,  or  70,- 
000  persons,  were  also  added  to  the  local  housing  supply  by  the 
construction  of  one  and  two-family  houses  under  the  stimulus  of 
the  new  tax  exemption  law.  The  aggregate  of  these  sources  of 
new  housing,  added  since  1917.  was  43,100  apartments,  containing 
provision  for  approximately  215,000  persons.  But  as  shown  by  the 
World  Almanac  for  1922,  p.  562,  the  population  of  New  York  City 
Increased  during  that  period  by  only  14.367  persons;  the  popula- 
tion for  1921  (July  1)  being  stated  by  said  authority  as  5,751,859 
as  against  5,737,492  in  1917   (July  1). 

On  the  question  of  addition  to  housing  in  1920  and  1921,  the 
F.  W.  Dodge  Company  Is  quoted,  in  the  "New  York  Times,"  of 
Sunday,  January  8,  1922,  as  stating  that  New  York  City  carried 
through  a  program  of  building  involving  contracts  awarded  to 
the  amount  of  $394,764,400,  and  that  residential  construction  ac- 


counted for  two-thirds  of  this,  or  for  $262,184,400.     The  statement 
in  full  is  as  follows: 

"RECORD  CONSTRUCTION  IN  NEW  YORK  CITY  LAST 
YEAR.  In  1921  New  York  City  carried  through  the  largest 
construction  program  on  record  for  many  years,  according  to 
F.  W.  Dodge  Company.  The  total  amount  ot  contracts  award- 
ed during  the  year  was  $394,754,400.  This  figure  is  25  per 
cent  greater  than  the  total  tor  1920,  which  was  $315,048,650; 
it  was  also  41  per  cent,  greater  than  the  total  for  1919,  which 
was  $279,478,200.  The  actual  volume  of  construction,  dis- 
tinguished from  the  dollar  cost,  was  very  considerably  great- 
er in  1921  than  in  either  of  the  two  previous  years.  Residen- 
tial construction,  greatly  stimulated  by  the  tax  exemption 
act,  has  been  largely  responsible  for  this  record  volume  of 
building.  This  class  of  construction  accounted  for  $262,184,- 
400,  or  exactly  two-thirds  of  the  total. 

In  1921  there  was  66,356,700  square  feet  of  residential  floor 
space  contracted  for,  compared  with  15,142,000  square  feet 
in  1920,  and  38,179,500  square  feet  in  1919. 

"Second  in  importance  to  residential  construction  in  1921 
was  the  construction  of  commercial  building,  which  account- 
ed for  $70,062,200,  or  19  per  cent,  of  the  year's  total.  Although 
this  was  considerably  less  than  the  1920  volume  of  construc- 
tion of  this  class,  it  was  greater  than  the  corresponding 
amount  in  1919." 

In  conclusion  upon  this  point,  the  Real  Estate  Board  of  New 
Yorli  calls  attention  to  the  fact  that  Justice  Spiegelberg  of  the 
Municipal  Court  is  thus  quoted  in  an  article  entitled  "Re-enact- 
ment of  Rent  Laws  for  one  or  two  years  favored  by  more  New 
York  Judges,"  printed  in  the  final  edition  of  the  "Evening  World" 
of  January  6,  1922:  "The  housing  shortage  has  been  grossly  ex- 
aggerated. In  fact,  it  is  almost  entirely  due  to  sensationalism. 
The  consequence  of  such  misinformation  is  a  panic  and  a  general 
"jacking  up"  of  rentals.  Because  of  this  state  of  mind  we  need 
the  further  protection  of  the  rent  laws." 

In  this  same  article  Justice  Davies  of  the  Municipal  Court  is 
thus  quoted:  "The  dilflculty  now  is  not  with  a  shortage  of  houses 
but  with  prices.  The  exorbitant  priced  apartment  is  a  drug  on 
the  market.  There  are  thousands  of  them  vacant  and  it  may  take 
at  least  another  year  or  so  to  bring  the  owners  to  reason." 

The  Real  Estate  Board  of  New  Y'ork  insists  that  the  eminent 
jurists  thus  quoted  be  invited  to  testify  before  the  Joint  Legis- 
lative Housing  Committee,  as  to  the  truth  or  falsity  of  the  state- 
ments ascribed   to  them   by   "The  Evening  World." 

3.  Overcrowding  and  congestion  of  today  exists  among  the 
same  classes  of  people  and  for  the  same  reasons  as  have  obtained 
for  years  in  this  and  every  large  city. 

Overcrowding  is  urged  as  a  strong  reason  for  rent  legislation. 
Most  of  us  remember  the  harrowing  stories  of  overcrowding  told 
by  the  Charity  Organization  Society  in  connection  with  the  enact- 
ment of  the  Tenement  House  Laws  in  1901.  Then  there  were  thou- 
sands of  vacant  apartments  and  no  talk  of  "emergency." 

In  1906  the  Federation  of  Churches,  through  its  official  organ, 
"Federation,"  published  an  article  entitled  "New  York's  Populous 
and  Densest  Blocks." 

This  article  gave  a  list  of  overcrowded  blocks.  One  bounded 
by  West  61st  street,  Amsterdam  avenue,  West  62d  street  and  East 
End  avenue,  contained  6,173  people.  Fifty-one  city  blocks  had 
each  over  3,000  people.  The  population  of  these  51  blocks  had  in- 
creased from  132,881  in  1900  (an  average  of  2,605  to  the  block)  to 
177,988  in  1905  (an  average  of  3,490  to  the  block).  This  included 
many  lower  east  side  blocks  with  populations  of  between  3  000 
and  5,000. 

Overcrowding  is  largely  the  result  of  temperament  and  occurs 
naturally  with  certain  types  of  people  whether  there  is  a  housing 
shortage  or  not.  Even  in  the  poorer  classes  of  tenements  the  ac- 
commodations are  so  much  better  than  most  of  our  immigrant 
population  were  formerly  accustomed  to,  that  they  often  thriftily 
utilize  the  housing  space  to  the  uttermost. 

Be  this  as  it  may — and  every  consideration  of  decency  requires 
the  admission  that  overcrowding  is  undesirable — it  will  also  be 
admitted  by  all  fair-minded  persons,  that  what  is  and  always  has 
been  a  commonplace  of  life  in  large  cities  should  not  now  be  ex- 
aggerated and  paraded  before  the  public  as  a  reason  for  extend- 
ing the  rent  laws. 

4. .  Housing  Conditions  in  New  York  City  have  not  impaired  and 
do  not  imperil  the  public  health. 

The  Commissioner  of  Health  has  frequently  emphasized  the 
housing  shortage  in  its  relation  to  congestion  and  to  the  public 
health.  From  his  statements,  it  might  be  inferred  that  the  al- 
leged housing  shortage  was  seriously  menacing  the  public  health 
In  the  "New  York  Tribune"  of  December  2,  1920,  the  foUowine 
appeared: 

"OVERCROWDING  INCREASES  DISEASE,   SAYS  COPELAND. 

Health    Commissioner    Finds    Twenty    Cities    Suffering    from

terday from  Detroit,  where  he  presided  at  a  meeting  of  health 
officials  from  twenty  cities,  having  a  population  of  200  000

mittee on  Reconstruction.  •  «  .  Unsanitary  condition'  re-

cent,  higher,  he  said,  in  the  districts  where  overcrowding 
was  the  worst.     •     «     »•> 

In  the  "New  York  Herald"  of  May  5.  1921,  there  is  reprinted 
from  the  Weekly  Bulletin  of  the  New  York  City  Department  of 
Health  a  lengthy  article  under  the  caption  of  "Healthy  Babies 
in  New   York."      From  this   the   following  is   quoted- 

"The  infant  mortality  rate  continues  to  be  most  encourag-

Review  of  Real  Estate  Market  for  the   Current  Week 

Large  Transactions  Seasoned  a  Market  That  Abounded  in  Widespread  Dealing", 
Wiiile  Many  Tenants  Bought  Their  Places  of  Occupancy 


THIS  week  was  one  crowded  with  good  real  estate  trans- 
actions. There  have  l)een  weeks  in  the  recent  past  when 
the  number  of  sales  aggregated  as  much  as  they  did  this 
week  and  when  large  properties  were  distinguishing  features, 
but  in  no  week  for  a  long  time  has  there  been  stronger  invest- 
ment interest  shown  nor  n  better  variety  of  good  sales.  The 
week,  too,  disclosed  some  leases  of  more  than  passing  interest. 
The  most  notable  sale  was  that  of  the  leasehold  of  the  Knox 
building,  at  the  southwest  corner  of  Fifth  avenue  and  40th 
street,  by  August  Heckscher,  who  tooR  over  this  choice  site  in 
the  name  of  the  Anahma  Realty  Corporation  from  the  Fortieth 
Street  and  Fifth  Avenue  Corporation  controlled  by  Benjamin 
Mordecai  and  E.  C.  Potter.  There  are  19  years  yet  to  run  on 
the  lease,  with  privilege  of  renewal.  A  sale  that  would  seem 
to  mark  a  revival  of  co-operative  buying  of  business  buildings 
was  that  of  the  sale  of  a  12-story  loft  building  on  a  Seventh 
avenue  corner,  to  the  tenants.  It  is  the  largest  co-operative  sale 
in  many  months  and  probably  the  most  notable  commercial 
building  sale  of  the  kind. 

The  scope  of  the  buying  movement  by  individual  tenants  of 
the  properties  they  occupy  was  wide  this  week.  A  tenant  of 
a  group  of  business  buildings  at  Second  avenue,  S3d  and  54th 
streets,  bought  them;  another  bought  an  old  building  on  West 
street;  another  bought  a  parcel  downtown;  while  numerous 
tenants  of  dwellings  bought  them.  Such  transactions  always 
strengthen  values  roundabout. 

Downtown  properties  were  in  the  limelight  of  dealing  this 
week,  also.  Conspicuous  among  them  was  the  sale  of  some 
old  warehouses  on  a  Water  street  corner  that  had  been  in  the 
continuous   ownership   of   one   family   since   the    era   of   Peter 


Stuyvesant,  or  more  than  two  centuries.  This  is  probably  the 
best  answer  to  the  question :  "Does  New  York  real  estate 
pay?" 

A  group  of  old  frame  buildings  on  lower  Vesey  street,  in  the 
wholesale  produce  district,  changed  hands.  Covering  a  small 
plot,  they  adjoin  another  small  plot  on  a  corner.  It  will  be 
interesting  to  see  if  the  corner  is  acquired  for  a  joint  reim- 
provement.  A  wholesale  merchant  bought  a  loft  building  on 
Lispenard  street.  Business  properties  on  Madison  avenue, 
Sixth  avenue,  Eighth  avenue  and  other  prominent  thorough- 
fares changed  hands.  A  large  vacant  holding  of  Robert  E. 
Dowling's  in  West  Harlem,  was  bought  for  improvement. 

There  was  considerable  dealing  in  all  kinds  of  multi-family 
houses.  Numerous  large  elevator  apartment  houses  on  Wash- 
ington Heights  changed  hand  and  two  parcels  on  Marble  Hill 
were  bought.  In  the  Bronx  extensive  buying  of  dwellings  and 
multi-family  houses  exceeded  the  buying  of  vacant  plots  for 
improvement  for  the  first  time  in  many  months.  Some  large 
new  apartment  houses  were  among  those  sold. 

In  the  leasing  field  a  good  sized  site  for  a  9-story  loft  build- 
ing was  leased  on  the  West  Side,  for  a  long  term.  Marking 
great  rental  increment  was  the  sub-leasing  of  the  Siebrecht 
building  at  the  northeast  corner  of  Fifth  avenue  and  38th 
street.  The  new  lease  shows  more  than  a  doubling  of  the  rental 
in  twelve  years.  A  large  lease  in  the  Heckscher  building  marks 
the  most  northerly  movement  of  trade  on  Fifth  avenue.  Fifth 
avenue  is  an  investment  prodigy  among  world  thoroughfares. 
The  annual  rental  of  the  Siebrecht  building  under  the  new  lease 
is  almost  as  much  as  the  late  James  Gordon  Bennett  obtained 
for  the  fee  of  it  about  20  years  ago  when  he  sold  it  to  the 
late  Austin  Corbin. 


PRIVATE  REALTY  SALES. 


np  HE  total  number  of  sales  reported,  but  not 
J-  recorded  in  Manhattan  this  week,  was  1'6'S, 
as  against  81  last  week  and  78  a  year  ago. 

The  number  of  sales  south  of  50th  st  was  59, 
as  compared  with  26  last  week  and  43  a  year 
ago. 

The  number  of  sales  north  of  50th  st  was  74, 
as  compared  with  55  last  week  and  35  a  year 
ago. 

From  the  Bronx  56  sales  at  private  contract 
were  reported,  as  against  35  last  week  and  13 
a  year  ago! 

Statistical  tables,  including  the  number  of  re- 
corded   instruments,   will   be   found    on   page  50. 


Observations  by  Max  Natanson 

Max  N.  Natanson,  one  of  the  city's  most  ac- 
tive real  estate  operators,  now  located  at  170 
Broadway,  will  soon  join  the  northward  march 
of  the  real  estate  fraternity.  Ho  has  leased, 
through  the  Brown-Wheelock  Co-,  for  a  term 
of  10  years,  a  large  suite  of  offices  in  the  Guar- 
anty Trust  Co.'s  Building,  formerly  the  Sherry 
Building,  at  ri22  Fifth  av,  southwest  corner  of 
44th  St.  Mr.  Natanson  will  occupy  his  new 
offices   sometime   in   March. 

Mr.  Natanson's  dealings  in  real  estate  during 
the  last  several  years  have  been  spectacular  in 
the  extreme,  his  operations  having  aggregated 
close  to  ;K200.0nO,000.  His  latest  transactions 
involved  the  purchase  and  the  immediate  resale 
of.  the  Belnord  Apartment  house,  assessed  at 
$4,500,000,  and  occupying  the  entire  square 
block  bounded  by  Broadway,  Amsterdam  av, 
Seth  and  87th  sta. 

Discussing  the  removal  of  his  offlces  from  the 
financial  zone  to  the  new  uptown  business  dis- 
trict, Mr.  Natanson  said:  "I  am  moving  uptown 
to  be  closer  to  the  center  of  things  and  to  the 
district,  which,  in  addition  to  being  the  'up- 
town Wall  Street.'  rapidly  is  becomin"  the  real 
estate   and   mortgage   loan   center  of   New  York. 

"Within  a  stone's  throw  of  my  new  quarters 
are  the  offices  of  some  of  the  most  nrominpnt 
estate  owners,  real  estate  operators  and  brokers 
In  New  York.  All  parts  of  the  city  can  be 
reached  readily  by  way  of  the  subways  that 
radiate  from  the  Grand  Centra!  Station,  from 
which  point  also  the  Queensboro  Subway,  the 
N.  Y.  Central,  N.  Y..  N.  H.  &  Hartford  Railroad 
Pennsylvania  Railmad,  the  Long  Island  Rail- 
road and  the  New  York  and  Hudson  Tubes  are 
most   accessible. 

"The  advantage  of  being  located  in  the  heart 
of  the   city   is   the   ease   with   which    a   property 


presented  in  the  morning  can  be  inspected  and 
passed  upon  within  the  hour.  On  the  other 
hand,  the  great  purchasing  power  of  New  York, 
from  the  residential  point  of  view,  is  now  con- 
centrated north  of  42d  st  and  east  and  west  of 
Central  Park.  It  is  advisable  for  a  real  estate 
operator  to  be  as  close  as  possible  to  this  pur- 
chasing power. 

"There  is  also  to  be  considered  the  compara- 
tive potentialities  of  the  downtown  and  uptown 
districts  as  fields  of  speculation  and  invest- 
ment. The  downtown  districts  have  been  fine- 
combed  by  the  speculator,  the  investor  and  the 
broker.  Prices  in  certain  sections  have  about 
reached  their  peak  and  the  main  thoroughfares 
are  so  fully  improved  with  permanent  buildings 
that  there  remain  but  few  opportunities  for 
quick  turns.  And  yet  there  is  always  a  drift 
from  the  side  streets  to  the  main  thoroughfares 
such  as  Broadway.  Nassau  and  William  sts.  and 
these  arteries  of  trade  and  travel  will  always 
be   money-makers. 

"In  general,  however,  the  opportunity  for 
profitable  investment  and  speculation  is  great- 
er in  the  midtown  district,  the  terminal  zone, 
the  new  uptown  business  section  and  the  dis- 
tricts lying  east  and  west  of  Central  Park,  to- 
ward which  the  business  and  residential  popu- 
lation  of  New  York   is  trending  steadily, 

"The  proper  location  for  the  offlces  of  an  active 
real  estate  operator  is  that  which  is  closest  to 
the  active  centers  :  wherefore,  I  have  concluded 
to  move   to  44th  st   and  Fifth  av." 


On  December  15.  last,  the  Lewis  H.  May  Co.. 
were  appointed  agents  to  dispose  of  the  remain- 
ing holdings  at  private  sale  by  January  1,  1022; 
these  holdings  consisting  of  100  seashore  lots,  3 
ocean  fronts  and  7  private  plots,  containing  60 
lots.  These  sales  were  completed  within  the  con- 
tract time,  practically  two  weeks,  which  is  a 
record    in    suburban    selling. 

Mr.  Morgenthan  stated  that  since  all  the  real 
estate  holdings  of  the  Banister  Realty  Co.  have 
been  disposed  of  steps  will  be  taken  in  the  im- 
mediate future  to  wind  up  the  affairs  of  the  cor- 
poration   and   liquidate   the   same. 


Closes  Out  Ocean  Front 

Lewis  H.  May  Co.  sold  for  the  Banister

girt av  (formerly  South  st)  to  the  Atlantic 
Ocean,  approximately  20  lots.  The  buyers  of 
both  parcels  will  improve  them  with  dwellings 
for  summer  occupancy  which  will  be  ready  next 
season. 

The  Banister  Realty  Co.,  In  1005,  acquired

exnended  over  .S400.000,  exclusive  of  purehnse

Long    Lease   in    Heckscher   Building 

A  deal  ot  unusual  significance  was  closed  this 
week,  through  the  leasing  of  the  entire  8th 
floor  of  the  new  25-story  Heck=cher  building, 
now  nearing  completion,  at  the  southwest  corner 
of  Fifth  av  and  57th  st,  to  Stroheim  &  Romann, 
importers  and  wholesalers  of  upholstery  and 
decorative  fabrics.  The  lease,  which  is  for  a 
term  ot  ten  years,  and  involves  an  area  ot 
15,000  square  feet,  marks  an  epoch  In  the  ever- 
changing  history  of  Fifth  av, .  The  decision  of 
Stroheim  &  Romann  is  not  only  the  first  move 
of  any  concern  of  prominence  in  that  industry 
to  locate  above  42d  st,  but  the  lease  actually 
establishes  a  record,  in  that  this  wholesale  estab- 
lishment will  be  located  farther  north  on  Fifth 
av  than  any  other  wholesale  house,  irrespective 
of  the  line  of  business. 

In  commenting  on  the  lease  from  a  real  estate 
standpoint  it  was  said  by  J,  Clydesdale  Cushman, 
president  of  Cushman  &  Wiikefield,  Inc,  the 
brokers  in  the  transaction  :  "While  this  move  on 
the  part  of  Stroheim  &  Romann  appears  daring, 
I  prophesy  it  is  merely  a  forerunner  of  many 
others,  in  the  same  trade,  basing  my  opinion  on 
the  present  congested  condition  of  the  old 
upholstery  zone  which  centers  around  Fourth 
av  and  lOth  st.  Also,  In  viewing  the  situation 
with  a  knowledge  of  other  prominent  upholstery 
firms  which  are  now  negotiating  for  large  space 
in  the  Heckscher  building,  and  in  light  ot  the 
fact  that  Fifth  ay  and  57th  st  is  firmly  estab- 
lished as  the  center  of  dealers  in  object  d'art. 
antiques  and  of  decorators,  the  establishment  of 
a  new  center  of  the  upholstery  and  decorative 
trade  in  the  Heckscher  building  seems  both  In- 
evitable and  imminent.  The  lower  0  floors  of 
the  building  were  designed  for  show  rooms  and 
their  frontage  of  over  160  feet  on  57th  st  with 
unobstructed  north  light  and  with  unusual  freight 
facilities  provided  on  the  56th  st  side  ot  the 
building  renders  it  peculiarly  adaptable  for 
bousing  wholesale  concerns  carrying  vast  stocks 
of  art   fabrics  and   kindred  merchandise,"

West  2Sth  st,  which  was  subleased  by  WiHiam

New  Branch   of  Columbia  Trust  Co. 

Douglas  L.  Elliman  &  Co.  and  Veiller  & 
Robinson  leased  for  a  client  to  the  Columbia 
Trust  Co.  space  at  the  northwest  corner  of  48th 
st  and  Park  av,  in  the  new  apartment  building 
known  as  200  Park  av,  for  a  long  term  of  years. 
The  lessee  will  open  oflices  in  this  space  par- 
ticularly for  its  women  depositors-  It  will  be 
equipped  in  an  unique  manner,  and  when  com- 
pleted will  give  the  impression  of  a  drawing- 
room  rather  than  a  banking  office,  and  will  be 
the  first  thing  of  its  kind  in  New  York.  Warren 
&  Wetmore.  architects  of  the  building,  are 
working  on  the  plans  for  the  new  office,  which 
it  is  hoped  will  be  ready  for  occupancy  about 
February  1. 

The  Trust  Company  was  influenced  in  its 
choice  of  this  location  by  the  tremendous 
amount  of  new  construction  of  apartment  houses 
and  hotels  in  the  immediate  neighborhood.  There 
is  270  Park  av.  one  of  the  largest  apartment 
houses  in  the  world;  290  Park  av,  the  largest 
co-operative  apartment  building  in  the  world,

ground  floor;  300  Park  av,  also  known  as  the 
new  "Sherry  Building"  ;  the  Hotel  Ambassador, 
Hotel  Chatham,  the  Ritz  Carlton,  etc.  The  de- 
velopment of  Park  av,  at  this  point,  is  making 
it  a  serious  rival  of  Fifth  av  from  a  social 
.standpoint.

BUILDING     SECTION 


National  Outlook  for  Construction  During  1922  Is  Bright 

Building  Figures  for  December,  1921,  Tabulated  by  F.  W.   Dodge  Company, 
Shows  Definite  Improvement  When  Compared  With  Previous  Totals 

influenced  by  the  fact  that  there  was  a  sufficient  supply  of 
neither  materials,  labor  nor  transportation  facilities  to  carry 
through  the  extensive  program  that  was  mapped  out. 

In  1922  the  community's  collective  efifort  will  be  toward  a 
three-billion  dollar  construction  year,  (or  four  billions  for  the 
entire  country).  The  supply  of  materials,  labor  and  trans- 
portation facilities  is  still  inadequate  to  carry  through  such 
a  large  program.  It  is  neither  likely  nor  desirable  that  a  pro- 
gram of  such  magnitude  be  actually  started.  Slowness  of  re- 
covery in  general  business,  labor  disputes  still  unsettled,  and 
other  retarding  factors  may  be  expected  to  curb  a  too  rapid 
boom  in  construction.  If  this  year  shows  a  moderate  margin 
over  two  and  a  half  billions  invested  in  construction  con- 
tracts in  the  27  Northeastern  States  (say  an  increase  of  8  or 
10%  over  1921)  rather  more  evenly  distributed  than  the  1921 
construction  was,  it  will  justify  present  expectations  and  spell 
increased  prosperity  for  the  industry. 

December  building  contracts  in  the  New  England  States 
amounted  to  $26,474,000,  an  increase  of  44%  over  November, 
and  double  the  figure  for  December,  1920. 

The  total  building  contracts  let  during  the  entire  year  1921 
amounted  to  $205,407,000,  or  Zi^  less  than  the  total  for  the 
year  1920. 

The  year's  total  included  $85,773,000,  or  42%,  for  residential 
buildings;  $26,743,000,  or  18%,  for  business  buildings;  $23,- 
494,000,  or  11%,  for  educational  buildings;  $18,973,000,  or  9% 
for  public  works  and  utilities  ;  $16,057,000,  or  8%.  for  industrial 
plants. 

The  amount  of  contemplated  new  work  reported  during  the 
year  $377,674,000,  showing  a  shortage  of  construction  which 
should  be  at  least  in  part,  made  up  during  the  coming  year. 

Contracts  let  in  New  York  State,  and  Northern  New  Jersey 
during  December  amounted  to  $62,331,000,  the  largest  December 
total  on  record  for  this  district.  This  figure  was  6%  greater 
than  the  November  total  and  more  than  three  and  a  half 
times  the  figure  for  December,  1920. 

The  December  figure  brought  the  year'.^  total  construction 
up  to  $647,051,000,  which  was  7%  greater  than  the  1920  total 
and  was,  consequently,  the  largest  yearly  total  on  the  Dodge 
Company's  records  for  this  district. 

Residential  building  was  the  dominant  factor  in  the  1921 
record,  amounting  to  $369,443,000,  of  57%  of  the  year's  total. 
Business  buildings  amounted  to  $99,831,000,  or  15%  of  the  total; 
public  works  and  utilities,  $45,598,000,  or  7%;  industrial  build- 
ings, $37,280,000,  or  6%;  educational  buildings,  $36,177,000,  or 
6%. 

Contemplated  new  work  reported  during  the  year  amounted 
to  $1,176„000,000,  compared  with  $647,000,000  worth  of  construe- 
tion  actually  started  showing  a  deficit  still  to  be  made  up. 

December  building  contracts  in  the  Middle  Atlantic  States 
(Comprising  Southern  New  Jersey,  Eastern  Pennsylvania,  Del- 
aware, Maryland,  District  of  Columbia,  Virginia  and  the  Car- 
olinas)  amounted  to  $32,923,000,  an  increase  of  9%  over  the 
November  figure,  and  more  than  double  the  total  for  Decem- 
ber 1920. 

The  total  for  the  year  1921  came  to  $335,235,000,  compared 
with  $300,812,000  for  the  year  1920.  This  increase,  however,  was 
in  large  part  due  to  the  addition  of  North  and  South  Carolina 
to  the  district  in  1921. 

(Concluded  on  page  52) 


DECEMBER  building  contracts  in  the  twenty-seven 
Northeastern  States  of  the  country  as  reported  by  the 
F.  W.  Dodge  Company,  amounted  to  more  than  for  any 
previous  December,  with  the  exception  of  December  1919.  The 
total  amount  of  these  contracts  was  $198,518,000,  an  increase  of 
3%  over  the  November  figure,  whereas  December  usually 
shows  a  decline  from  November.  The  closing  month  of  1921 
showed  an  increase  of  98%  over  the  corresponding  month  of 
1920. 

The  total  amount  of  construction  contracts  let  during  1921 
was  $2,359,018,000,  only  8%  under  the  1920  total.  It  is  doubtful 
whether  any  other  business  fared  so  well  in  1921  as  the  con- 
struction industry  as  a  whole  has,  even  though  the  volume  of 
construction  has  been  unevenly  distributed  as  to  classes  of 
projects  and  as  to  locality. 

The  predominating  factor  in  the  year's  program  was  resi- 
dential building,  which  amounted  to  $880,052,000.  It  was  il% 
of  the  1921  total,  and  represented  an  increase  of  54%  over  1920 
residential  construction.  Public  works  and  utilities  took  second 
place,  amounting  to  $459,184,000,  or  19%  of  the  year's  total. 
Other  important  items  were :  business  buildings,  $336,920,000, 
or  14%;  educational  buildings,  $242,562,000,  or  10%  (this  figure 
representing  a  very  considerable  increase  in  number  of  pro- 
jects and  in  total  over  1920) ;  and  industrial  buildings,  $173,- 
325,0000,  or  7%  of  the  year's  total. 

The  remarkably  good  showing  of  the  month  of  December, 
following  the  good  records  of  the  four  previous  months,  give 
added  confirmation  of  the  revival  of  construction  activity. 
Every  present  indication  is  that  1922  will  see  a  measurably 
larger  volume  of  construction  than  the  program  carried 
through  in  1921. 

The  principal  factors  favorable  to  a  big  construction  year 
are  the  still  unsatisfied  demand  for  buildings  of  every  class 
and  the  steadily  increasing  amount  of  money  available  for 
investment  in  construction  projects.  These  factors  are  not 
uniformly  favorable  everywhere.  Recovery  in  recent  months 
has  been  rapid  in  the  east  and  very  slow  in  the  Central  West. 
This  unevenness  in  the  rate  of  recovery  m.ay  be  expected  to 
continue  well  into  1922.  The  recovery  of  general  prosperity  in 
the  Central  West  will  continue  to  be  slow,  and  general  business 
conditions  in  that  section  will  retard  speedy  revival  or  con- 
struction activity,  particularly  in  agricultural   communities. 

While  it's  reasonable  to  expect  increased  activity  in  every 
class  of  construction  projects,  it  is  probable  that  residential 
buildings  and  educational  buildings,  all  of  which  made  good 
records  for  activity  in  1921,  may  be  expected  to  continue  at  a 
satisfactory  rate.  Even  industrial  buildings,  which  special 
class  is  likely  to  be  about  the  last  to  return  to  a  normal  rate 
of  activity,  should  show  an  increase  over  1921. 

The  records  of  construction  that  was  contemplated  during 
the  past  three  years  indicate  that  the  community  comprised 
within  the  F.  W.  Dodge  Company's  territory  (including  about 
Yi,  of  the  total  construction  of  the  country)  has  collectively 
worked  toward  a  three-billion  dollar  total  each  year.  The 
average  accomplishment  per  year  has  amounted  to  two  and  a 
half  billions.  The  year  1920  was  the  only  one  since  the  war 
that  started  off  at  a  sufficiently  high  rate  to  reach  a  three- 
billion  dollar  total.  That  rate  was  maintained  for  four  months, 
and  then  the  reaction  came.  This  reaction  was  caused  not  only 
by  the  reaction  in  general  business  conditions,  but  it  was  also

den of  the  Portland  Cement  Association,  who  delivered  an 
address  on  "Recent  Developments  in  Concrete." 

Mr.  Walsh  described  the  efforts  of  the  Board  of  Standards 
and  Appeals  to  be  fair  in  all  cases  that  came  before  it  for 
settlement  and  still  uphold  the  law  which  means  so  much  for 
the  safety  and  comfort  of  the  citizens  of  New  York.  He  also 
assured  the  members  of  the  Building  Managers  and  Owners 
Association  that  they  will  always  have  his  fullest  co-operation 
and  consideration  when  the  come  before  the  Board  in  answer 
to  notices  of  violations  etc.  He  cited  several  interesting  in- 
stances of  the  application  of  the  laws  of  safety  and  showed 
that  the  Board  of  Standards  and  Appeals  is  not  an  arbitrary 
tribunal  designated  to  make  life  more  difficult  for  property 
owners  but  that  it  is  essentially  a  medium  for  eliminating  un- 
necessary hazards  and  assuring  the  maximum  of  safety  to  the 
occupants  of  buildings  in  this  city. 

Mr.  Boyden  spoke  of  the  growing  popularity  of  the  use  of 
concrete  in  general  construction  work  and  explained  the  new 


uses  constantly  being  found  for  this  material.  He  told  of  the 
economics  that  can  be  obtained  through  the  use  of  concrete 
instead  of  other  basic  materials  for  certain  types  of  work  and 
also  of  the  extremely  low  cost  of  maintenance. 

After  the  two  addresses  the  meeting  was  turned  over  to 
routine  business  which  included  the  reading  of  several  annual 
reports  that  were  not  submitted  at  the  last  meeting. 

The  Building  Owners'  and  Managers  Association  is  planning 
to  make  1922  a  banner  year  of  achievement  and  if  only  a  part 
of  the  program  now  outlined  is  put  through  a  new  record 
for  progress  will  be  attained.  One  of  the  most  interesting 
and  important  of  the  plans  of  this  organization  was  recently 
presented  by  Charles  F.  Merritt,  executive  secretary.  This 
undertaking  provides  for  the  establishment  of  a  bureau  of 
records  for  information  and  instruction  on  elevators,  boilers, 
building  construction  materials,  supplies  and  general  equip- 
ment. It  is  also  planned  to  make  a  compilation  of  the  history 
of  building  in  Manhattan,  giving  dates  of  the  erection  of  all 
prominent  structures,  the  names  of  the  architects  and  builders, 
and  otlier  details  such  as  the  number  of  square  feet  of  floor 
area,  height  of  building  and  the  ceiling  heights,  square  feet  of 
corridor  space,  square  feet  of  rentable  space,  wages  paid  to 
building  .employees  such  as  porters,  cleaners,  elevator  oper- 
ators, superintendents,  and  other  helpers,  general  operating 
costs,  etc.,  together  with  a  collection  of  photographs  and 
prints  of  the  exteriors  and  interiors  of  the  most  prominent 
buildings. 


National  Outlook  for  Construction  During  1922  is  Bright 


(Concluded  from  page  51) 

In  the  year's  total  were  the  following  items:  $118,841,000,  or 
33%,  for  residential  buildings;  $88,337,00,  or  25%  for  public 
works  and  utilities;  $46,235,000,  or  13%,  for  business  buildings; 
$32,627,000,  or  9%,  for  educational  buildings;  $28,804,000,  or  8% 
for  industrial  buildings. 

Contemplated  new  work  reported  during  1921  totaled  $695,- 
000,000,  compared  with  $355,000,000,  worth  of  work  actually 
started. 

Contracts  awarded  during  December  in  Western  Pennsyl- 
vania, West  Virginia,  Ohio,  Kentucky  and  Tennessee  amounted 
to  $22,453,000,  a  decrease  of  35%  from  the  November  figure, 
but  an  increase  of  14%  over  the  total  for  December,  1920. 

The  total  volume  of  construction  for  the  year  1921  in  this 
district  amounted  to  $422,049,000,  a  decrease  of  9%  from  the 
1920  total. 

Included  in  the  1921  total  were  the  following:  $120,859,000,  or 
29%,  for  residential  buildings;  $117,259,000,  or  28%,  for  public 
works  and  utilities;  $49,247,000,  or  12%,  for  educational  build- 
ings, $49,107,000,  or  12%(  for  educational  buildings;  $49,107,- 
000,  or  12%,  for  business  buildings ;  $41,315,000,  of  10%,  for  in- 
dustrial buildings. 

Contemplated  new  work  reported  in  1921  reached  a  total  of 
$663,000,000,  compare  with  $422,000,000  for  construction  actually 
started. 

December  building  contracts  in  the  Central  West  (compris- 
ing Illinois,  Indiana,  Iowa,  Michigan,  Wisconsin,  Missouri  and 


portions  of  Eastern  Kansas  and  Nebraska)  amounted  to  $45,- 
985,000,  an  increase  of  1%  over  November,  and  an  increase  of 
37%  over  December,  1920. 

The  year's  total  for  this  district  amounted  to  $644,014,00,  a  de- 
crease of  19%  from  1920.  It  is  thus  seen  how  the  severe  de- 
pression in  the  agricultural  states  has  affected  the  construction 
industry. 

Included  in  the  1921  total  were;  $165,801,000,  or  27%,  for 
public  works  and  utilities;  $161,175,00,  or  26%,  for  residential 
buildings;  $97,377,000,  or  15%,  for  business  buildings;  $85,- 
318,000,  or  13%,  for  educational  buildings;  and  $47,673,000,  or 
7%,   for  industrial  buildings. 

The  total  amount  of  contemplated  new  work  reported  dur- 
ing the  year  in  this  district  amounted  to  more  than  one  and 
a  half  billion  dollars,  showing  the  largest  deficit  in  the  year's 
program  of  any  district  mcluded  in  the  Dodge  Company's 
territory. 

Contracts  awarded  during  December  in  Minnesota  and  the 
Dakotas  amounted  to  $8,443,000,  which  was  an  80%  increase  over 
November  and  a  75%  increase  over  December,  1920. 

The  year's  total  amounted  to  $85,262,000,  a  decrease  of  8%, 
from  1920.  Included  in  this  total  were  the  following  items: 
$23,962,000,  or  28%,  for  residential  buildings  :  $23,216,000,  or  27%, 
for  public  works  and  utilities;  $15,698,000,  or  18%,  for  educa- 
tional buildings;  $7,627,000  or  9%,  for  business  buildings. 

Contemplated  new  work  reported  during  the  year  amount- 
ed to  $233,000,000,  compare  with  $85,000,000  for  work  actually 
started,  leaving  a  considerable  deficit  in  the  year's  program. 


Commerce  Department   Collecting   Construction  Data 


AMONG  the  recently  inaugurated  activities  of  the  Division 
of  Building  and  Housing  of  the  U.  S.  Department  of  Com- 
merce are  the  collection  from  contractors  and  secretaries 
of  building  exchanges  of  building  material  prices  actually  paid  by 
contractors.  Information  has  been  obtained  for  several  months 
and  has  been  distributed  among  those  who  have  supplied  the  infor- 
mation. 


The  division,  which  is  under  the  direction  of  John  M.  Cries  as 
chief,  is  also  obtaining  from  the  contractors  data  on  the  percent- 
age of  different  materials  and  the  amount  of  labor  that  go  into  a 
typical  six-room  frame  and  a  six-room  brick  residence.  This  sur- 
vey will  enable  some  estimate  to  be  made  of  the  importance  of 
price  fluctuations  in  labor  and  in  different  classes  of  materials 
entering  into  these  types  of  dwellings.

Architects  Start  New  Year  with  Many  Large  Projects 

Weekly  Figures  of  F.  W.  Dodge  Company  Indicative  of  Active  Spring  and 
Summer  Building  Season  in  Metropolitan  Area 

coming  spring  as  rapidly  as  possible  so  as  to  get  their  opera- 
tions well  under  way  before  April  1,  the  date  specified  for 
the  expiration  of  the  Tax  Exemption  measure.  Suburban 
builders,  who  cannot  claim  the  advantages  of  tax  exemption, 
are  also  preparing  for  an  extremely  active  season  because  the 
demand  for   small  dwellings  is  still  far  from  satisfied. 

The  list  of  375  projects  for  which  plans  were  reported  dur- 
ing the  first  week  of  1922  included  43  business  structures  such 
as  stores,  offices,  lofts,  commercial  garages,  etc.,  $1,153,500;  4 
educational  projects,  $685,000;  3  hospitals  and  institutions, 
$959,000;  8  factory  and  industrial  projects,  $172,500;  6  public 
works  and  public  utilities,  $135,000;  8  religious  and  memorial 
buildings,  $202,500;  298  residential  operations  including  apart- 
ments, flats  and  tenements  and  one  and  two-family  dwellings, 
$9,509,600  and  5  social  and  recreational  buildings,  $315,000. 

Among  the  245  projects  for  which  contracts  were  awarded 
during  the  week  were  25  business  structures  of  various  types, 
$1,216,000;  6  educational  buildings,  $553,600;  8  factory  and  in- 
dustrial buildings,  $385,500;  3  public  buildings,  $311,500;  11 
public  works  and  public  utilities,  $909,900;  4  religious  and 
memorial  structures,  $110,000;  184  residential  operations  in- 
cluding multi-family  dwellings  and  one  and  two-family  houses, 
$4,276,000  and  4  social  and  recreational  projects,  $312,500. 


DESPITE  the  fact  that  there  were  only  four  business 
days  in  the  first  week  of  this  year  the  building  totals 
for  that  period  indicate  unusual  activity  and  may  be 
taken  as  an  excellent  sign  that  the  coming  months  will  be 
notable  for  the  volume  and  value  of  new  structural  projects. 
Reports  from  architects  and  engineers  in  New  York  State  and 
New  Jersey,  north  of  Trenton,  are  significant  of  the  vast 
amount  of  new  work  to  be  undertaken  during  the  coming 
spring  and  summer.  It  has  been  several  years  since  the  first 
week  in  January  has  been  so  productive  of  newly  contemplated 
operations,  the  majority  of  which  are  scheduled  for  an  early 
start.  According  to  figures  tabulated  by  the  F.  W.  Dodge 
Company,  there  were  375  new  building  and  engineering  proj- 
ects) reported  during  the  first  week  of  the  new  year,  repre- 
senting an  approximate  cost  of  $13,132,100.  During  the  same 
period  245  contracts  were  awarded  in  this  territory  that  call 
for  an  outlay  of  $8,075,000. 

Although  there  is  a  decided  improvement  in  the  outlook  for 
commercial  and  industrial  construction  during  the  coming 
months  residential  building  still  continues  to  be  the  dominating 
factor  in  the  building  situation.  Speculative  builders  fh 
Greater  New  York  are  advancing  their  scheduled  work  for  the

RECORD    AND    GUIDE 


January  14,  1922: 


DEVELOPMENTS  in  the  local  building- 
industry  during  the  first  two  weeks 
of  the  new  year  indicate  a  forthcoming 
season  of  splendid  progress  for  all  inter- 
ested in  construction.  There  is  a  large 
amount  of  high  class  building  now  being 
planned  and  contractors  feel  that  the 
work  to  be  undertaken  during  the  coming- 
months  will  be  far  more  representative 
than  that  of  last  year.  Although  there  is 
an  over-balance  of  residential  construc- 
tion now  under  way  or  planned  for  a  start 
next  spring,  the  general  situation  is  much 
more  favoral^le  that  it  has  been  and  there 
is  an  excellent  prospect  that  the  building 
activity  of  the  coming  season  will  be  far 
more   diversified   as   to  type. 

During  the  past  week  or  so  a  number 
of  important  operations  were  announced 
and  several  others  have  been  released  for 
estimates,  and  local  contractors  are  an- 
ticipating a  decided  im.provement  in  the 
number  of  a.wards  in  the  near  future.  As 
a  matter  of  fact  there  is  already  consid- 
erable increase  in  the  number  of 
announced  commitments  for  new  building 
projects,  and  if  any  real  percentage  of  the 
work  now  proposed  matures  to  the  point 
of  actually  commencing  operations  the 
building  trades  will  have  all  they  are  able 
to  handle  with  efficiency. 

The  markets  for  building-  materials  and 
supplies  are  fairly  active,  and  all  signs 
point  to  a  steady  ii-nprovement  in  the  vol- 
ume of  business.  Brick  is  in  fair  de- 
mand, and  cement,  lime,  terra  potta  and 
other  basic  products  are  in  a  favorable 
position.  Prices  are  steady  at  present  and 
no  important  changes  are  anticipated  un- 
til the  spring  building  business  opens. 
There  is  some  talk  of  higher  building 
material  prices  next  spring,  but  any 
changes  along  this  line  will  be  totally 
dependent  upon  the  ratio  of  demand  to 
the  supply.  At  present  there  seems  to  be 
suflicient  materials  easily  available  for  all 
normal  building  demands,  and  it  will  only 
be  an  unusually  active  season  that  will  be 
responsible  for  increased  material  prices. 
— Common  Briok. — Owing  largely  to  the 
weather  conditions,  there  was  a  falling  off 
in  activity  in  the  New  York  wholesale 
market  for  Hudson  River  common  brick 
during  the  past  week.  Sales  were  light 
and  inquiries  infrequent,  but  there  is  an 
undercurrent  of  feeling  that  just  as  soon 
as  the  weather  is  more  favorable  there 
-will  be  a  decided  change  in  the  rate  of 
common  brick  demand,  as  there  is  a  vast 
amount  of  projected  construction  piling 
up  for  a  start  early  next  spring.  There 
were  no  arrivals  of  brick  from  up-river 
plants  this  week  because  of  the  ice-bound 


condition  of  the  river.  The  Hudson  is 
frozen  solid  north  of  Tarrytown  and  un- 
less a  mild  spell  comes  to  thaw  this  ice 
there  is  no  likelihood  of  the  arrival  of 
brick  barges  for  some  weeks  to  come. 
There  is  quite  a  reserve  unsold  in  the 
wholesale  market,  however,  and  dealers 
have  an-iple  stacks  in  their  yards  for  all 
current  demands.  Prices  are  somewhat 
firmer  than  they  have  been  during  the 
past  two  or  three  weeks,  and  n-ianufac- 
turors  are  of  the  opinion  that  the  market 
will  be  notably  firm  as  to  price  until  the 
river  is  again  open  to  navigation.

MATERIALS    AND    SUPPLIES 


Both  wholesalers  and  retailers  are  en- 
gaged with  their  inventories,  and  until 
these  are  completed  the  business  will 
naturally  be  light.  Demand  is  fair  and 
shows  every  likelihood  of  improving 
steadily  as  the  prospects  for  an  unusually 
active  building  season  are  excellent.  The 
holidays  and  the  inclement  weather  of 
the  past  two  weeks  has  curtailed  buying 
to  some  extent,  but  there  is  a  large 
amount  of  business  in  sight.  There  is  a 
general  feeling  in  the  lumber  industry 
that  prices  are  likely  to  advance.  While 
there   is   as   yet   nothing   definite    to    go    by 


the  marked  trend  toward  higher  values 
so  noticeable  during  the  last  few  months 
of  the  past  year  are  taken  as  indicative 
of  the  future.  The  fact  that  wholesale 
stocks  are  low.  coupled  with  depleted  re- 
serves at  mill  points,  seems  to  lend  color 
to  the  predictions  of  higher  prices  to  come 
next  spring,  particularly  as  it  is  now  pos- 
itive that  the  demand  for  lumber  to  be 
used  in  new  construction  projects  will  be 
abnormally  heavy.  Reports  from  subur- 
ban districts  show  a  tremendous  potential 
demand  for  lumber  products,  as  there  is 
a    large    building    prograin    scheduled    for

Struetural  Steel.  —  Although  current 
business  is  light  as  compared  with  the 
volume  of  a  few  weeks  ago,  the  outlook 
for  the  coming  month  or  so  is  excellent, 
as  there  are  a  number  of  large  projects 
soon  to  be  released  that  will  require  an  im- 
jJortant  total  tonnage.  Recent  bookings  of 
fabricated  materials  for  new  building 
projects,  while  numerous,  have  not  been 
for  large  individual  amounts,  but  there  is 
every  indication  that  the  next  week  or 
so  will  show  a  decided  improvement  in 
this  respect.  Fabricated  steel  prices  are 
steady   and   unchanged. 

Klectrical  Supplies. — Tile  market  for 
these  materials  is  not  quite  so  active  as 
it  was  a  few  weeks  ago,  but  conditions 
are  expected  to  improve  within  the  next 
week  or  ten  days,  as  there  is  a  large 
amount  of  active  building  with  electrical 
material  requirements  yet  unsatisfied  and 
an  imposing  program  of  new  construction 
waiting  for  a  start.  A  settlement  of  the 
local  labor  problem  would  be  of  material 
benefit  to  all  material  lines,  as  there  is 
considerable  proposed  building  being  held 
in  abeyance  pending  the  consummation 
of  a  new  working  agreement  between 
employers  and  workmen.  For  the  most 
part  prices  in  the  electrical  lines  are 
steady,  with  but  slight  changes  reported 
during  the  past  few  weeks.  Demand  for 
conduit  is  light;  prices  unchanged.  The 
recent  advance  in  rubber-covered  wire 
prices  has  not  stimulated  buying  to  any 
extent. 

Ca.st  Iron  Pipe. — Business  in  this  line 
has  dropped  off  to  some  extent,  but  at 
that  it  is  far  better  than  it  was  one  year 
ago  at  this  time.  The  majority  of  thu 
Eastern  plants  are  operating  at  approxi- 
mately seventy-five  per  cent,  of  capacicy 
.and  there  is  considerable  new  business  in 
sight  for  the  spring  and  summer.  Munici- 
pal lettings  are  scarce  at  present,  but 
Several  important  projects  are  likely  to 
be  released  for  bids  within  the  next  few 
weeks.  Private  buying  is  light  and  no 
real  improvement  is  anticipated  until 
weather  conditions  are  more  favorable. 
Prices  are  steady  and  practically  un- 
changed, with  New  York  quotations  as 
follows:  6  in.  and  larger,  in  carload  lots, 
$47.30  per  net  ton;  4  in.  and  .5  in.,  $52.30; 
3   in..   $62.30. 

Window  Glass — Because  of  the  large 
amount  of  residential  construction,  both 
ipartments  and  one  and  two-family  houses, 
now  in  the  final  stages  of  completion,  the 
uemand  for  window  glass  is  excellent  and 
likely  to  hold  so  for  some  time  to  come. 
Stocks  are  fairly  complete  and  prices  firm.

A  Positive  Foundation  Upon  Which  to  Build 


The  Federal  Reserve  Board,  in  its  January  bulletin,  declares  that  "the  most  encourag- 
ing feature  of  the  business  situation  is  that  a  positive  foundation  apparently  has  been  estab- 
lished upon  -which  to  build  development  during  1922."  Governor  Harding  believes  that  the 
country  as  a  -whole  has  passed  safely  the  points  of  danger  entailed  in  after-war  deflation. 

One  positive  foundation  upon  -which  real  estate  and  construction  interests  can  efifec- 
tively  build  their  business  is  regular,  consistent  advertising  in

Emergency  Laws  vs.  Economic  Laws 

During  the  discussion  over  the  question  of  whether  the 
Emergency  Rent  Laws  and  the  resolution  providing  for 
tax  exemption  of  new  housing  should  be  extended  another 
year,  it  is  advisable  to  consider  the  fact  that  with  the  ex- 
ception of  Boston  and  Milwaukee,  in  no  other  large  city  in 
the  country  has  special  legislation  been  secured  to  protect 
tenants  from  voracious  landlords,  nor  has  special  privilege 
been  given  to  builders  in  the  way  of  relieving  them  from 
paying  their  share  of  the  municipal  expenses  for  a  term  of 
years.  But  during  the  war  building  was  proscribed  in 
other  commonwealths  than  New  York,  and  rentals  mounted 
rapidly  in  every  community  throughout  the  country  as  an 
increasing  population  demanded  more  housing  and  office 
space.  And  since  the  war  building  has  been  restricted  in 
other  cities  by  the  same  causes  as  have  prevented  the  con- 
struction of  new  housing  here,  namely,  the  continued  diffi- 
culty of  getting  mortgage  money  and  the  continuance  of 
high  wages  of  labor  and  high  cost  of  building  materials. 

Outside  of  New  York,  however,  state  legislatures  gen- 
erally have  not  been  called  on  to  interfere  with  the  working 
of  the  law  of  supply  and  demand.  According  to  the  sum- 
mary of  legislation  during  1920  and  1921,  prepared  by 
the  Public  Affairs  Information  Service  of  the  Public  Li- 
brary, only  Wisconsin,  Massachusetts  and  New  Jersey 
have  enacted  "emergency"  laws.  Those  passed  in  New 
Jersey  are  similar  to  the  enactments  in  this  state.  The 
Wisconsin  legislation,  which  is  mild  in  character,  is  appli- 
cable chiefly  to  Milwaukee,  and  in  Massachusetts  provision 
has  been  made  for  a  discretionary  stay  of  proceedings  in 
actions  of  summary  process  to  recover  possession  of  prop- 
erty and  to  provide  that  unjust,  unreasonable  and  oppres- 
sive agreements  shall  be  a  defense  in  action  for  rents.  Ac- 
cording to  the  same  authority  no  states  other  than  New 
York  and  New  Jersey  have  passed  tax  exemption  meas- 
ures. People  in  the  less  enlightened  sections  of  the  nation 
kicked  just  as  vigorously  about  paying  higher  and  higher 
rents  as  did  New  Yorkers,  and  they  bemoaned  the  cessa- 
tion of  building  in  their  home  towns,  but  they  have  not, 
with  the  exceptions  noted,  stormed  legislative  halls  with 
quack  palliatives  to  fend  off  oppressive  landlordism,  nor 
did  they  grant  special  favors  to  those  few  fortunates  who 
were  able  to  find  money  with  which  to  build. 

Many  New  Yorkers  are  in  doubt  to-day  whether  the 
Emergency  Rent  Laws  and  tax  exemption  have  really 
benefited  them  because  they  have  to  fall  back  on  the  fact 
that  they  do  not  know  what  might  have  happened  if  these 
measures  of  safety  and  provision  had  not  been  enacted. 
Things  might  have  been  worse,  and  then  again  they  might 
have  been  no  worse,  or  even  better.  Nobody  knows,  be- 
cause there  is  no  way  of  knowing  what  might  have  taken 
place  if  things  had  been  different. 

There  is,  however,  one  way  in  which  the  value  of  the 
rent  and  tax  legislation  may  be  measured.  What  happened 
in  other  cities  where  such  measures  were  not  taken  and  what 
are  conditions  now  in  these  communities  ?  The  New  York 
Herald  has  taken  pains  to  find  out  by  a  questionnaire  di- 


rected to  other  cities  where  housing  conditions  were  similar 
to  those  existing  in  New  York  when  the  "emergency"  laws 
were  passed.  The  returns  show  that  in  Chicago  rents  for 
the  better  class  of  apartments  and  detached  houses  are  25 
per  cent  higher  than  they  were  two  years  ago,  while  rents 
in  tenement  districts  and  poorer  neighborhoods  have  ad- 
vanced only  10  per  cent  in  two  years.  In  Cincinnati  six- 
room  residences  that  rented  at  $36  a  month  two  years  ago 
rent  for  $40  now;  five-room  apartments  that  were  $15  are 
now  $18  per  month,  and  $65  apartments  now  bring  $75. 
Realty  men  in  St.  Louis  report  rentals  as  approximately  10 
cent  cent  more  than  two  years  ago.  In  Pittsburgh  a  few 
vacancies  are  reported,  and  it  is  believed  that  the  rental 
peak  was  reached  last  year. 

Cuts  in  high-priced  Boston  apartments  are  declared  to 
have  equalled  25  per  cent  and  this  broke  the  backbone  of 
prices  down  through  the  list.  A  20  per  cent  decline  is 
noted  in  Detroit,  houses  and  apartments  renting  from  $50 
up,  while  the  reduction  in  rents  in  Indianapolis  is  esti- 
mated at  about  10  per  cent.  In  Baltimore  and  Philadelphia 
there  has  been  little  change  from  peak  prices,  which  were 
about  50  per  cent  above  the  pre-war  scale. 

When  these  facts  are  carefully  weighed  it  forces  the 
question  whether  the  "emergency"  legislation  was  justified, 
and  if  so,  if  it  was  wisely  devised.  Certainly  the  special 
legislation  so  far  enacted  at  the  instance  of  the  Lockwood 
Committee  has  not  resulted  in  any  great  addition  to  the 
number  of  dwellings  in  which  three-quarters  of  the  citizens 
of  this  community  must,  perforce  of  limited  income,  re- 
side. It  is  a  well-known  fact  that  rentals  of  moderate- 
priced  apartments  here  show  no  sign  of  being  lowered. 
They  may  not  yet  have  reached  the  peak.  In  eight  other 
cities  the  peak  has  been  reached  or  definitely  passed.  We 
have  "'emergency"  laws ;  they,  excepting  in  Boston,  have 
had  none.  We  have  been  trying  nostrums ;  they  have  been 
relying  on  old  and  tried  economic  laws  mixed  with  common 
sense.  Which  is  the  better  off — New  York,  with  100,000 
landlord  and  tenant  cases  clogging  the  municipal  courts 
and  millions  of  rent  money  tied  up  in  escrow,  or  these  other 
American  cities  that  have  weathered  the  crisis  without  re- 
sort to  questionable  emergency  measures? 

We  are  forced,  it  seems,  to  one  of  the  following  conclu- 
sions, either  that  New  York  is  a  city  where  the  ordinary 
economic  laws,  elsewhere  all  powerful,  cannot  be  relied  on 
to  work  satisfactorily;  or  that  New  York  is  unique  in  being 
able  to  precipitate  an  "emergency"  based  on  the  same  con- 
ditions which  in  other  communities  are  deemed  the  cus- 
tomary consequences  of  certain  precedents ;  or  that  this 
state  and  city  is  endowed  with  officials  whose  sense  of 
obligation  to  some  of  their  constituents  is  exaggerated  to 
the  degree  which  affords  them  an  excuse  for  the  enactment 
of  laws  that  disregard  the  rights  of  other  citizens. 


Building  Revival  in  Mid-Town  District 

Study  of  the  important  building  operations  now  sched- 
uled for  erection  during  the  coming  spring  indicates  a  lively 
interest  on  the  part  of  builders  and  investors  in  the  com-

RECORD    AND    GUIDE 


January  21,  1922 


mercial  development  of  the  mid-town  district  of  Manhat- 
tan, west  of  Broadway.  Prior  to  the  war  there  was  a  well- 
defined  store  and  loft-building  movement  in  this  vicinity,  a 
movement  responsible  for  the  erection  of  many  modern 
commercial  structures  which  were  rapidly  sold  or  rented  at 
profitable  terms. 

Businesses,  which  had  for  many  years  been  confined  to 
buildings  of  an  almost  obsolete  type  in  the  downtown  sec- 
tion, were  brought  further  north,  following  the  improve- 
ment in  rapid-transit  facilities,  and  these  downtown  dis- 
tricts were  practically  deserted  in  favor  of  the  more  modern 
up-town  conveniences.  In  several  instances  important  in- 
dustries, which  for  generations  had  been  grouped  in  lower 
Manhattan,  followed  the  trend  of  the  times  and  journeyed 
northward.  The  war,  with  its  resultant  disruptions  of 
business  activity,  particularly  that  of  real  estate  develop- 
ment along  commercial  lines  in  the  mid-town  section, 
checked  this  movement  for  several  years.  Now,  however, 
investors  and  operators  are  apparently  of  the  opinion  that 
the  time  is  ripe  for  further  commercial  expansion,  and  they 
are  preparing  a  program  of  store  and  loft-building  con- 
struction in  the  district  between  Thirty-first  and  Forty- 
second  streets,  Broadway  to  Eighth  Avenue,  which,  while 
not  as  yet  so  important  as  that  movement  of  several  years 
ago,  still  is  indicative  of  an  extremely  lively  building  period 
to  come  later  this  year. 

Two  of  the  most  important  daily  newspapers  are  plan- 
ning new  structures  for  the  expansion  of  their  news  serv- 
ice.    The  New  York  Tribune  recently  purchased  a  plottage 


'n  West  Fortieth  Street  for  the  erection  of  a  modern  print- 
ing establishment,  and  the  New  York  Times  has  announced 
its  plans  for  a  large  addition  to  its  plant  in  Forty-third 
Street.  S.  Alorrill  Banner  and  Herbert  Mitler  have  had 
plans  prepared  by  Robert  T.  Lyons  for  a  $2,000,000  office 
and  showroom  building,  twelve  stories  in  height,  at  132  to 
138  West  Thirty-sixth  Street,  running  through  to  Thirty- 
fifth  Street.  Schwartz  &  Gross  are  preparing  plans  for 
a  fourteen-story  store  and  loft  building  at  142  to  148 
West  Thirty-sixth  Street  for  Julius  Tishman  &  Son,  who 
in  former  years  were  extremely  active  in  this  section.  This 
project  will  cost  approximately  $1,000,000.  George  and 
Edward  Blum  are  the  architects  for  a  fourteen-story  store 
and  loft  structure  at  237  to  239  West  Thirty-seventh  Street, 
for  Lefcourt  &  Haas,  and  Max  Aronson  will  soon  start  the 
construction  of  a  $2,000,000  commercial  building  at  242  to 
252  West  Thirty-sixth  Street,  from  plans  by  Schwartz  & 
Gross.  At  206  to  212  West  Thirty-fourth  Street  the 
North  River  Savings  Bank  is  planning  a  new  building  to 
cost  about  $100,000,  and  there  are  several  important  altera- 
tion projects  underway  or  contemplated  that  will  practically 
amount  to  new  buildings,  as  they  will  completely  recon- 
struct old-fashioned  buildings  into  modern  commercial 
structures. 

It  has  been  a  number  of  years  since  there  was  as  much 
activity  in  this  particular  part  of  Manhattan  as  is  scheduled 
at  present,  and  with  this  for  a  start  there  is  every  likelihood 
this  district  will  be  one  of  the  most  active  from  a  construc- 
tion .standpoint  of  any  in  Greater  New  York. 


Walter  Stabler  Discus.ses  Mortgages  at  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  Realty  Lecture  Course 


BEFORE  a  good-sized  audience,  comprising  the  Real  Estate 
Class  of  the  West  Side  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  Walter  Stabler, 
Comptroller  of  the  Metropolitan  Life  Insurance  Company, 
delivered  a  lecture  Tuesday  evening  that  aroused  much  interest 
among  the  class,  many  of  whose  members  asked  questions 
afterward.  His  subject  was:  "Real  Estate  Mortgages— What 
They  Are,  How  They  Are  Made,  How  They  Are  Collected." 
Louis  V.  Bright,  president  of  the  Lawyers'  Title  &  Trust  Com- 
pany, presided  and  introduced  the  speaker  as  one  best  qualified 
to  discuss  the  subject  of  mortgages.  A  feature  of  the  class 
was  the  presence  of  several  women,  which  in  this  era  of  women 
real  estate  brokers,  shows  that  there  are  more  women  consid- 
ering real  estate  as  a  business. 

Mr.  Stabler,  in  opening  his  address,  remarked  that  Mr. 
Bright  knew  as  much  about  the  mortgage  market  as  he  did 
and  that  he  could  recall  the  time  when  he  was  glad  to  go  to 
Mr.  Bright  to  learn  something  of  value  about  real  estate  and 
mortgages. 

Continuing,  Mr.  Stabler  said:  "Mortgages  are  such  a  com- 
mon thing  in  life  that  the  general  public  knows  all  about 
them.  I  should  say  that  about  95  per  cent  of  all  real  estate  is 
mortgaged.  The  investing  public  is  so  accustomed  to  a  mort- 
gage that  they  think  they  are  as  necessary  to  real  estate  as  a 
house  is.     Some  real  estate  is  unimproved  and  is  mortgaged. 

"What  is  a  mortgage?"  asked  Mr.  Stabler.  "It  is  an  instru- 
ment tliat  is  recorded.  It  establishes  a  lien  of  record  against 
real  estate  and  is  an  official  notice  of  a  lien.  Mortgages  in  New 
York  state,  and  in  some  other  states,  are  always  accompanied 
by  a  bond.  A  bond  is  really  a  personal  promise  to  pay,  a  per- 
sonal liability.  If  a  property  is  sold  in  foreclosure  and  does 
not  bring  the  amount  of  the  mortgage  with  expense,  then,  of 
course,  a  deficiency  judgment  is  taken  against  the  borrower. 
No  man  should  lend  or  borrow  on  mortgage  without  the  services 
of  a  lawyer,  for  there  is  nothing  wiser  than  avoiding  mistake 
for  either  side.     A  mortgage   is  a  technical   instrument. 

"In  many  states,  among  them  Missouri,  California,  Louisiana 
and  others,  a  trust  deed  takes  the  place  of  a  mortgage.  The 
borrower  deeds  his  property,  during  the  life  of  the  loan,  to  a 
trustee,  specifying  the  purpose.  He  signs  notes,  agreeing  to  pay 
RO  much  with  interest:  Sometimes  he  does  not  sign  interest 
notes.     This  trust  deed  provides  security  of  payment  at  the  time 


fixed.  The  practice  is  not  exactly  the  same  in  all  states  that 
use  this  method.  In  Indiana,  Illinois  and  Minnesota,  especially, 
the  lender  has  less  security  than  in  other  states.  It  is  up  to 
the  lender  there  to  thoroughly  know  v^'liat  he  is  doing.  An 
owner  in  those  states  has  right  of  redemption  before  the  pur- 
chaser at  foreclosure  can  get  title.  This  is  bad  for  both  the 
borrower  and  lender,  because  it  makes  complications  regarding 
the   rent  and   taxes. 

"In  New  York  state  the  normal  time  for  a  foreclosure  to  be 
completed  is  about  three  months,  provided  there  is  no  defense 
to  the  action.  With  a  defense,  and  in  bankruptcy  proceedings, 
the  time  is  usually  much  longer;  in  fact,  it  is  frequently  in- 
definite. 

"In  states  where  the  trust  deed  procedure  is  followed  there 
is  no  such  delay  and  uncertainty.  If  there  is  a  default  in  the 
trust  deed  the  holder  of  the  deed  has  the  Sheriff  advertise  the 
property  for  sale  and  that  official  sells  it  from  the  Court  House 
steps.  The  owner  cannot  get  away  with  the  income.  The  mort- 
gagee gets  quick  possession.  That  has  its  advantages.  I  would 
like  to  see  the  various  states  get  together  on  this  vital  subject 
of  mortgages  and  arrange  some  uniform  method  that  would 
redound  to  the  advantage  of  all.  The  New  York  method  has  its 
good   points  and  so   has  the  trust  deed  method. 

"Pennsylvania  is  strong  on  mortgage  matters.  The  mortgagor 
has  to  give  a  judgment  bond  wherein  he  confesses  judgment. 
If  he  is  in  default  the  mortgagee  can  docket  the  confession  of 
judgment  and  the  Sheriff,  as  a  result,  can  sell.  The  judgment 
bond  also  encumbers  any  other  property  the  mortgagor  may 
have,  as  this  bond  automatically  becomes  a  lien.  It  is  advan- 
tageous because  it  provides  absolute  security  for  the  lender 
and  practically  prevents  the  necessity  for  a  deficiency  judgment." 

Mr.  Stabler  went  into  a  lengthy  discussion  of  real  estate 
bonds.  He  said  that  the  system  was  a  Western  idea  originally. 
The  methods,  he  said,  were  not  the  same  as  those  used  by 
conservative  lenders.  The  underlying  principle  of  real  estate 
bonds  was  the  same  as  that  of  railroad  bonds.  The  bonds  are 
issued  and  secured  by  mortgages,  said  the  speaker. 

"Another  system/'  said  Mr.  Stabler,  "are  real  estate  certifi- 
cates, such  as  title  insurance  companies  provide.  They  are 
really  bonds.  The  advantage  is  that  they  have  a  careful  real 
estate  security  behind  them  and  guarantee  of  payments.  Cer- 
tificates and  guaranteed  mortgages  are  fine  investments.  The 
companies  that  issue  them  have  large  capital  and  surplus  and 
the  interest  is  always  paid.  This  line  of  mortgage  business

REAL    ESTATE     SECTION 


Housing  Shortage  Measured  by  Census  and  Building  Facts 

Increase  in  Population  in  Last  Five  Years  Just  About  Equals  Some  Estimates  of 
Present  Deficiency,  But  Allowance  Must  Be  Made  for  New  Building 


WITH  the  Legislature  at  Albany  considering  plans  to 
continue  the  rent  and  tax-exemption  laws  for  another 
year  or  possibly  longer,  the  question  uppermost  in  real 
estate  and  building,  as  well  as  lay  circles  is:  "How  extensive  is 
the  actual  shortage  of  living  space  in  New  York  City  today?" 
A  great  many  think  inadvertently  of  Manhattan  as  comprising 
the  municipal  area  afifected,  whereas  the  question  applies  in- 
tensely to  the  Bronx,  Brooklyn  and  Queens  as  parts  of  the 
city  contributing  much  to  the  alleviation  of  the  housing  short- 
age and  as  parts  where  population   is  growing. 

The  Federal  census  shows  an  actual  decrease  in  the  popula- 
tion of  The  Borough  of  Manhattan  in  the  ten-year  period  from 
1910  to  1920  of  48,860,  and  the  Bureau  of  Vital  Statistics  esti- 
mates that  there  has  been  a  further  decrease  in  this  borough 
of  9,872  in  the  two  years  since  the  census  was  taken,  making 
a  total  decline  of  58,732  in  twelve  years.  Taking  Manhattan 
alone^  there  are,  therefore,  about  6,000  less  families  to  be  taken 
care  of  than  there  were  twelve  years  ago.  This  means  that, 
other  things  being  equal,  a  "shortage"  of  apartments  in  Man- 
hattan cannot  reasonably  be  figured  out,  because  the  number 
of  large  apartment  buildings  constructed  and  of  one-family 
houses  altered  into  one-  and  two-family  apartments  has  almost 
certainly  offset  the  replacing  of  housing  by  commercial  struc- 
tures on  the  Island  . 

Investigation  by  the  Record  and  Guide  shows  that  there  con- 
tinues to  be  a  shortage  of  housing  space  in  all  the  other  bor- 
oughs. Rentals  have  not  receded  any  in  them,  except  slightly 
between  renting  seasons  ;and  they  rise  to  prevalent  levels  with 
the  approach  of  each  rental  period.  There  is  not  being  built 
and  there  probably  will  not  be  built  any  apartment  houses  that 
builders  can  rent  at  the  standards  which  prevailed  before  1918. 
Builders  maintain  that  no  such  rentals  can  be  offered,  that  the 
question  is  entirely  an  economic  one  involving  the  cost  of  labor 
and  material  and  that  pre-war  standards  of  rentals  would  be 
absolutely  unprofitable. 

On  the  other  hand,  it  is  contended  by  some  that  if  multi- 
family  houses  increase  vastly  in  number  the  increased  supply 
will  cause  a  reduction  of  rentals.  The  fact  that  rentals  have 
not  decreased  is  causing  thousands  of  families,  who  in  the  past 
lived  in  rented  apartments,  to  board  with  families  who  have 
fair-sized  apartments.  There  are  thousands  of  families,  too, 
who  in  the  past  occupied  apartments  of  from^  five  to  seven 
rooms  who  are  living  now  in  apartments  of  three  rooms  in  order 
to  whittle   as  closely  as  possible  to  the  bone    of    low    rental. 

The  Bureau  of  Vital  Statistics,  using  the  Federal  census  fig- 
ures as  a  basis,  estimates  the  increase  in  the  population  of  the 
five  boroughs  of  New  York  City  from  1917  to  1922  as  439,395, 
or  a  total  of  87,879  families,  on  the  generally-accepted  theory 
that  on  the  average  five  people  constitute  a  family.  The  Lock- 
wood  Committee  holds  there  is  a  shortage  of  about  80,000  or 
85,000  apartments  in  New  York,  or  practically  the  same  as  the 
probable  increase  in  population  as  figured  on  the  arithmetical 
basis  by  the  Bureau  of  Vital  Statistics.  Building  stopped  in 
1917,  and  if  there  had  been  no  building  since  it  would  be  rea- 
sonable to  estimate  a  shortage  of  about  85,000  apartments  in 
the  whole  city.    But  what  are  the  facts? 

In  1920  there  were  built  over  a  hundred  tenements  costing 
more  than  $20,000,000,  also  4,000  one-family  houses,  and  nearly 
a  thousand  two-  and  three-family  houses.    The  figures  for  1921 


are  given  more  in  detail  below,  but  they  aggregate  many  times 
the  1920  showing,  and  all  reports  indicate  that  before  the  Emer- 
gency Rent  Laws  expire  by  limitation  on  November  1  next 
there  will  be  constructed,  ready  for  occupancy,  many  times  the 
number  of  apartments,  one-  and  two-family  houses  and  single 
residences  that  have  been  built  during  1921. 

These  facts  must  be  taken  into  consideration  in  estimating 
the  present  shortage  and  that  which  will  exist  on  November  1 
next.  Certainly  enough  housing  has  been  constructed  in  1920 
and  1921  to  materially  reduce  the  "shortage"  of  80,000  or  85,000 
which  the  Lockwood  Committee  indicates.  And  with  the  pres- 
ent impetus  attained  by  builders  this  shortage  will  be  still  fur- 
ther reduced  by  next  November  . 

Brooklyn  last  year  built  and  is  now  building  more  apartment 
houses  than  any  other  borough  and  a  large  number  of  one-  and 
two-family  houses.  The  total  number  of  applications  for  build- 
ing permits  granted  in  Brooklyn  last  year  was  2,194,  and  ninety 
per  cent  of  these  have  been  utilized  to  build  and  the  rest  will 
be,  the  delay  being  a  matter  of  arranging  building  loans.  The 
total  estimated  cost  of  all  kinds  of  buildings  for  living  pur- 
poses planned  in  Brooklyn  last  year  was  $162,132^547.  These 
will  accommodate  25,000  families. 

The  new  year  has  started  well  in  the  matter  of  new  building. 
The  week  ending  January  7  witnessed  the  filing  of  plans  in 
Brooklyn  for  160  new  buildings  to  cost  $1,336,000  and  to  pro- 
vide for  299  families  ;and  the  week  ending  January  14  showed 
plans  filed  for  buildings  to  house  a  total  of  800  families  and 
to  cost  an  aggregate  of  more  than  $4,500,000. 

In  Queens  about  forty  per  cent,  of  the  new  living  space 
planned  and  being  built  is  ready  for  use.  This  includes  multi- 
family  houses  and  one-  and  two-family  houses.  This  Long 
Island  borough  is  building  more  one-  and  two-family  houses 
than  multi-family  houses,  with  the  result  that  while  the  total 
number  of  buildings  is  greater  the  total  amount  of  living  space 
is  not  any  greater,  if  as  great,  as  in  Brooklyn.  The  street  and 
sewer  system  of  Queens,  as  a  whole,  is  not  so  complete  as  in 
the  older  borough  of  Brooklyn,  and  consequently  one-  and 
two-family  houses  are  more  suitable  for  much  of  the  territory. 
During  1921,  in  Queens,  plans  were  filed  for  7,864  frame  one- 
and  two-family  houses  to  accommodate  a  total  of  11,844  fam- 
ilies; 786  brick  one-  and  two-family  houses,  to  accommodate 
1,280  families;  346  frame  flats  with  stores,  to  house  586 
families;  407  brick  flats  with  stores,  to  house  768  families  ;and 
141  multi-family  houses,  with  accommodations  for  1,267  families. 
Practically  all  of  these  are  under  way  and  will  be  finished  this 
Spring.  In  addition,  there  are  87  brick  tenement  houses  with 
■■itores  that  will  house  664  families.  The  total  estimated  cost 
of  new  living  space  in  Queens  planned  during  1921  is  $58,000,000. 
The  year  1922  will  in  all  likelihood  witness  even  heavier  build- 
ing of  residential  buildings  of  all  kinds.  Queens  did  not  start 
the  erection  of  multi-family  houses  to  any  extent  until  midsum- 
mer last  year,  whereas  this  year  numerous  plans  for  multi-

RECORD    AND    GUIDE 


January  21,  1922 


DEVELOPMENTS  OF  1921  AND  PROSPECTS  FOR  1922 

ANALYZED  BY  REALTY   AND  CONSTRUCTION  LEADERS 


Frank  Bailey,  vice-president  of  the  Title  Guarantee  and 
Trust  Company — At  the  present  time  it  is  absolutely  Im- 
possible to  produce  a  Iiouse  which  can  be  occupied  by  a 
tenant  who  can  afford  to  pay  a  maximum  of  $12  a  room, 
and  when  one  remembers  that  the  greatest  number  of  peo- 
ple are  in  the  class  that  can  pay  $12  or  less  a  room,  then 
it  is  perfectly  obvious  that  the  poor  man  is  not  approach- 
ing cheaper  rents,  but  is  approaching  higher  rents. 

Louis  v.  Brlglit,  President,  Lawyers  Title  and  Trust  Company 

— A  slow  but  steady  resumption  of  buyers  willing  to  take 
mortgage  offerings  is  apparent.  Even  the  demand  for  out- 
side bonuses  and  commissions  is  less  evident.  As  yet  the 
demand  is  for  the  very  best,  and  investors  are  critical,  as 
they  should  always  be,  of  the  security  offered. 

Joseph  P.  Day — 1920  was  a  record  year  in  the  auction  market 

and  few  people  thought  that  the  1921  totals  would  even 
equal  it.  That  they  were  mistaken  is  now  a  matter  of  his- 
tory, and  1921  will  certainly  go  down  as  a  banner  year. 
The  home  and  lot  buying  movement  is  in  full  swing.  The 
demand  is  far  from  satisfied,  and  I  look  to  see  great  activ- 
ity during  the  next  spring  and  summer. 

Robert  E.  Dowlingr,  President,  City  Investing  Company — Real 
estate  in  New  York  is  in  fine  shape  entering  the  new  year. 
It  is  in  the  soundest  condition  I  have  known  since  1907. 
It  may  not  be  known  generally,  but  there  is  less  mortgage 
on  Manhattan  real  estate  today  than  there  was  ten  years 
ago.  Thousands  of  mortgages  have  been  reduced  from  20 
to  40  per  cent,  during  that  time  and  equities,  of  course, 
have  been  increased.  Too  much  stress  cannot  be  placed  on 
this  point,  for  the  mortgages  were  reduced  during  periods 
of  depression.  People  got  into  the  habit  of  paying  off 
mortgages. 

J.  Clarence  Da-»-ies — I  think  that  1922,  from  all  present  as- 
pects, is  going  to  be  a  year  of  real  real-estate  activity.  In 
my  opinion  the  people  who  get  in  at  present  will  have  the 
opportunity  to  make  profits  before  the  year  1923. 

Colin  M.  Eadie,  of  James  IV.  W^ell's  Sons — There  are  several 
hundred  houses  in  the  Chelsea  section  rented  to  tenants, 
in  most  cases  at  old  rentals,  who  sublet  for  furnished 
rooms,  and  whose  owners  would  be  glad  to  alter  inlo 
apartments,  but  the  rent  laws  as  administered  will  not  al- 
low them  either  to  improve  the  property  or  obtain  an  equi- 
table return  for  their  investment,  so  that  the  Chelsea  sec- 
tion for  1921  has  had  the  poorest  year  in  its  history. 

Charles  G.  Edwards,  President,  Real  Estate  Board  of  New 
Yorli — The  beginning  of  the  new  year  brings  to  mind  the 
great  activities  in  real  estate  during  the  year  just  closing 
and  the  possibilities  of  a  new  year  and  the  necessity  for 
co-ordinating  the  interests  of  real  estate  brokers  and  own- 
ers throughout  the  city.  The  Real  Estate  Board  of  New 
York  has  adopted  its  programme  of  activities  for  the  com- 
ing year  and  hopes  for  great  achievements  in  municipal 
and  legislative  work,  tending  to  increase  the  usefulness  of 
the  board  to  its  members  and  creating  activities  that 
should  enlist  the  hearty  support  of  those  interested  in  real 
estate,  whether  from  the  standpoint  of  the  broker  or 
owner. 

Douglas  L.  Elliman — It  looks  now  as  if  an  equilibrium  had 
been  established  and  that  owners  would  no  longer  seek  the 
excessive  rentals  of  two  years  ago.  but  would  be  satisfied 
witli  a  fair  return  on  their  investment,  which  would  mean 
a  slight  reduction  from  the  scale  of  rentals  established  last 
year.  We  are,  however,  a  long  way  off  from  an  adequate 
supply  of  low-priced  apartments,  and  a  great  change  must 
come  over  the  entire  industrial  situation  before  such  a 
thing  is  possible. 

James  B.  Fisher,  President  of  the  Brooklyn  Real  Estate 
Board — Tlie  next  year  bids  fair  to  be  a  wonderful  year  for 
real  estate  to  come  into  its  own,  with  fixed  values,  better 
financing,  restored  confidence  and  a  fuller  realization  by 
the  public  that  after  all  it  is  the  most  stable  thing  in  ex- 
istence. 

Fenimore  C.  Goode,  of  Brett  &  Goode — The  center  of  specu- 
lative activity  just  now  is  the  Pennsylvania  Terminal  dis- 
trict. This  wide  expanse  of  territory,  extending  from 
Thirtieth  to  Forty-second  street  and  from  Broadway  to  the 
Hudson  River,  affords  more  opportunity  for  the  real  estate 
operator  and  speculative  builder  than  almost  any  other 
section  of  the  city.  After  fifteen  years  of  quietude  the 
district  is  at  last  awakening. 

Harry  Hall,  Vice   President   of  William  A.  White   &   Sons — 

A  man  need  not  be  a  prophet  to  venture  the  assertion  that 
New  York — far  from  being  finished — has  really  only  just 
begun. 


Charles  H.  Jewell,   of  Lawrence,   Blake  &  Jewell — The   new 

year  of  1922  promises  to  show  further  improvement  in  the 
general  estimation  of  real  estate  as  a  possesion,  with 
therefore  higher  appraisal  valuations  on  land  and  old 
buildings  in  good  condition  and  more  building  on  account 
of  lower  costs  of  new  construction.  There  should  be  a  con- 
stantly increasing  supply  of  mortgage  funds. 

Clarence  H.  Kelsey,  President  of  the  Title  Guarantee  and 
Trust  Company — The  crux  of  the  whole  situation  is  the  ex- 
cessive cost  of  materials  brought  about  in  many  cases  by 
illegal  combinations  on  the  part  of  the  material  men  and 
the  excessive  wages  and  limited  production  of  union  labor. 
The  Lockwood  Committee  is  right  in  insisting  upon  the 
evils  of  both  classes  being  corrected  as  quickly  and  fully 
as  possible  so  as  to  make  unnecessary  any  extension  of  the 
tax  exemption  privilege  and  to  discontinue  it  as  quickly  as 
possible.  The  situation  will  never  be  righted  until  honesty 
in  dealings  is  recognized  by  both  the  material  men  and  the 
mechanics  as  the  best  policy. 

Bryan  L.  Kennelly — Manhattan  has  hardly  been  developed 
and  within  the  next  decade  or  two,  when  the  real  stride 
of  development  is  begun,  we  must  look  for  a  real  estate 
growth  outdistancing  by  a  tremendous  margin  any  growth 
of  the  past. 

W^illiam  D.  Kilpatrick — The  fact  that  building  was  progress- 
ing all  over  the  country  without  tax  exemption  or  other 
artificial  stimulant  has  not  seen  the  light  of  day.  It  is 
unfortunate  that  the  extra  burdens  of  taxes  and  rents  of 
non-exempt  property  imposed  by  tax  exemption  must  be 
borne  by  those  least  able  to  bear  them. 

E,    A.    MaoDou^all,    President,    Queensboro    Corporation — If 

there  was  any  justification  for  the  existing  emergency  rent 
laws  there  was  the  same  justification  for  the  tax  exemption 
law.  If  there  is  excuse  for  one  there  is  need  for  the  other. 
The  exemption  should  continue  ■with  the  rent  laws.  If  one 
is  re-enacted  the  other  should  be.  But,  in  any  event,  the 
exemption  sliould  be  continued  to  November  1,  1922,  so  as 
to  insure  that  new  dwellings  "will  be  constructed  for  which 
plans  have  already  been  filed  as  of  December  10,  1921, 
which  amounted  to  $95,000,000. 

AVillinm  F.  Morgan,  President  of  the  Merchants'  Association 
of  Ne-*v  York — Tile  underlying  business  conditions  through- 
out the  country  are  sound.  Our  resources  are  unimpaired. 
Our  domestic  market,  to  whicli  apparently  we  must  look 
mainly  for  some  time  to  come,  is  increasing  in  purchasing 
power.  All  that  is  needed  is  the  spirit  of  confidence  and 
there  are  many  signs  that  tliis  is  returning. 

Paul  Nehring,  Vice  President,  Nchring  Brothers — Last  year 
was  a  very  active  and  interesting  year  on  Washington 
Heights,  with  a  strong  demand  for  investment  property. 
The  majority  of  owners  realize  tliat  in  holding  Heights 
improved  property  they  have  something  that  is  staple  and 
will  be  in  demand  as  long  as  real  estate  is  to  be  considered 
a  good  investment. 

Charles  F.  Noyes — In  our  opinion  the  year  1921  clearly  dem- 
onstrated our  belief  in  the  superiority  of  downtown  real 
estate.  We  expect  that  the  year  1922  will  see  a  large 
amount  of  funds  ordinarily  invested  in  stocks  and  bonds 
devoted  to  the  purchase  of  downtown  real  estate.  There  is 
also  a  constantly  increasing  flood  of  funds  for  mortgage 
loans,  wliich  greatly  aids  investing  purchasers. 

rtobert  E.  Simon — Many  fear  the  possibility  of  a  reduction  in 
rents.  This  is  bound  to  come,  but  should  not  disturb  the 
investment  market.  The  activity  will  be  on  a  much  safer 
and  saner  price  level.  It  is  not  healthy  to  have  a  condition 
where  either  landlord  or  tenant  is  in  the  position  of  dic- 
tator of  price  and  terms.  The  large  lending  institutions 
can  help  a  great  deal  to  prevent  extreme  over-production. 

Paul  Starrett,  President,  George  A.  Fuller  Company — A  large 
number  of  substantial  new  building  projects  are  on  the 
way.  The  supply  of  space  at  present  is  probably  greater 
than  the  demand,  but  the  population  of  New  York  Is  in- 
creasing at  the  rate  of  200,000  per  year,  and  this  will  ob- 
sorb  a  large  amount  of  space.  Conservative  real  estate 
men  are  of  the  opinion  that  the  present  unoccupied  space 
will  be  absorbed  within  a  year.  Before  very  long  tenants 
who  were  forced  into  inconvenient,  undesirable  space  will 
return  to  the  better,  more  up-to-date  buildings,  and  this, 
with  the  natural  growth  of  the  city,  will  absorb  any 
available  space  now  unoccupied,  and  there  will  be  tenants 
for  many  more  well  located,  up-to-date  buildings. 

S.  W.  Siranss.  President  of  S.  ^V.  Strauss  &  Co The  supply 

of  money  and  credit  have  been  restored  to  normal.  With 
interest  rates  relatively  low,  the  price  of  credit  is  again 
within  reach  of  business  men.  The  great  reservoir  of  tlie 
national  cerdit  is  ready  and  funds  are  ample  to  put  into 
business  when  business  is  ready  to  go  ahead.

Port  Is  Topic   at   First   Monthly  Realty  Board   Dinner 

Successful  Inauguration  of  Series  of  Get-Together  Meetings  for  Discussion  of    . 
Questions  of  Prime  Importance  to  Business 


MARKING  the  first  monthly  gathering  of  members  of  the 
Real  Estate  Board  of  New  York,  in  accordance  with  a 
program  to  be  carried  out  seven  more  time  this 
year,  about  two  hundred  members  of  the  organization  dined  at 
Delmonico's  on  Thursday  evening,  January  12.  The  diners 
heard  an  analysis  and  a  lively  discussion  of  the  question  of 
improving  the  Port  of  New  York  in  accordance  with  the  gen- 
eral plan  of  the  Commission  of  Port  Authority.  After  the 
event  was  over  it  was  the  consensus  of  opinion  that  the 
occasion  was  one  of  the  best  get-together  affairs  that  the 
Board  has  ever  held.  The  spirit  of  good  fellowship  abounded, 
and  many  members  who  were  not  well  acquainted  had  oppor- 
tunity to  become  more  intimate  as  the  evening  wore  on. 

Charles  G.  Edwards,  President  of  the  Board,  who  presided, 
said  that  he  was  much  gratified  at  the  size  of  the  attendance, 
and  he  expected  that  the  next  dinner  would  be  still  better 
attended.  He  said  he  hoped  that  the  gatherings  would  be 
educational ;  and  it  was  evident  that  the  first  one  was.  Mr. 
Edwards  stated  that  each  month  there  would  be  discussed  some 
question  vital  to  real  estate  values  that  hinged  on  municipal 
improvements  or  taxation,  and  that  at  these  gatherings  such 
questions  could  be  heard  at  length. 

E.  H.  Outerbridge,  Chairman  of  the  Commission  of  Port 
Authority,  and  Julius  Henry  Cohen,  counsel  to  that  body, 
were  the  speakers.  Mr.  Outerbridge  had  illustrated  on  a 
screen  various  working  parts  of  the  port  area  and  discussed 
appropriately  each  picture  as  it  appeared. 

A  question  that  interested  the  realtors  greatly  was  one  put 
to  Mr.  Cohen  by  Alfred  E.  Marling,  former  President  of  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce,  which  was:  "How  is  this  great  project, 
as  proposed,  to  be  financed?"  And  promptly  Mr.  Cohen  an- 
swered :  "The  act  creating  the  Port  Authority  did  not  empower 
it  to  raise  money  by  taxation  or  by  pledging  any  municipality 
or  any  state  within  the  port  area  to  extend  credit.  The  money 
will  have  to  be  raised  by  the  issuance  of  stock.     No  one  can 


doubt,  in  the  light  of  the  business  already  done  within  the  port 
area  and  the  business  yet  to  be  done  on  an  enlarged  scale, 
the  stability  of  the  investment.  These  securities  will  be  tax 
exempt  and  the  exemption  cannot  be  impaired  by  any  future 
action  of  either  New  York  or  New  Jersey. 

"After  the  states  have  approved  the  plan  we  know  that  there 
will  be  sufficient  saving  accomplished  by  the  development  of 
new  facilities  to  take  care  of  a  sinking  fund  for  any  securities 
issued.  We  must  prove  the  efficacy  of  the  plan  to  the  public, 
not  the  voting  public,  but  the  investing  public.  And  we  can  go 
ahead  with  the  building  of  the  facilities  proposed  just  as 
fast  as  we  can  show  that  they  are  economically  sound.  We 
have  tried  to  show  by  our  remarks  and  illustrations  here  tonight 
that  they  are  as  sound  as  every  dollar  put  into  them." 

Mr.  Cohen  was  asked  what  the  effect  would  be  if  the  proposed 
St.  Lawrence  River  canal  should  be  built  before  plans  for  the 
improvement  of  this  port  could  be  put  into  effect. 

"If  the  canal  it  built  first  it  would  develop  the  diversion  of  business 
away  from  New  York,"  he  said.  *'The  cotton  business  has  gone,  and  I 
have  been  told  that  New  York  need  never  expect  to  get  it  back  again. 
The  export  tobacco  business  also  has  been  lost.  If  the  grain  export 
business  goes  to  New  Orleans  and  Montreal,  New  York  may  expect  to 
lose  it  all  before  she  can  catch  up." 

"We  can  use  the  Barge  Canal  and  the  Hudson  River  and  give  the  West 
a  cheaper  outlet  to  the  sea  than  through  the  St.  Lawrence.  That  is  what 
Governor  Miller  meant  when  he  urged  the  use  of  existing  capital  invest- 
ment. The  State  has  spent  .$165,000,000  on  the  Barge  Canal,  and  the 
Governor  took  the  business  point  of  view  in  saying  that  we  should  take 
existing  capital  investment  and  improve  that." 

Prominent  among  the  members  of  the  Real  Estate  Board  who 
attended  were  Robert  E.  Simon,  W.  D.  Kilpatrick,  Charles  F. 
Noyes,  Laurence  McGuire,  Walter  Stabler,  Alfred  E.  Marling, 
Francis  Guerrlick,  A.  N.  Gitterman,  Alexander  C.  McNulty, 
Richard  O.  Chittick,  as  well  as  representatives  from  nearly 
every  prominent  real  estate  firm  in  the  city.  From  Brooklyn 
came  Fenwick  B.  Small,  George  H.  Horton,  and  James  B.  Fisher, 
President  of  the  Brooklyn  Real  Estate  Board,  and  Arthur  W. 
Gelston,  Secretary  of  that  Board. 


Bill  Before  Congress  Paves  Way  For  New  Federal  Building 


PLANS  for  the  demolition  of  the  old  postoffice  and  the 
erection  of  a  new  Federal  building  on  the  old  court  house 
site  have  been  materially  advanced  by  the  introduction  in 
Congress  of  a  bill  providing  for  the  appointment  by  Post- 
master General  Hays  of  a  commission  of  "Three  officials  who 
shall  have  authority  to  exchange  the  land  known  as  the  old 
postoffice  site  in  the  city  of  New  York  for  other  lands  to  be 
deeded  by  the  city  of  New  York  in  exchange  for  such  site ; 
that  this  commission  shall  confer  and  arrange  with  the  author- 
ized committee  of  the  Board  of  Estimate  of  the  city  of  New 
York,  consisting  of  the  Mayor,  Comptroller  and  President  of 
the  Borough  of  Manhattan." 

The  bill  was  introduced  by  Representative  Albert  B.  Rossdalc 
following  the  approval  by  President  Harding  of  Postmaster 
General  Hays'  proposal  at  a  recent  cabinet  meeting  that  a 
suitable  building  or  buildings  should  be  provided  to  house  the 
various  Federal  bureaus  in  the  city  now  in  the  old  postoffice  or 
in  rented  quarters.  It  was  found  that  approximately  $900,000 
per  year  is  expended  for  rent  of  offices  in  New  York  City. 
The  project  of  the  removal  of  the  old  postoffice  building  has 
been  agitated  for  several  years  but  not  progress  was  made 
until  about  three  months  ago  when  Postmaster  General  Hays 
took  the  matter  up  with  Comptroller  Craig  and  representatives 
of  various  civic  organizations  in  the  chambers  of  Federal  Judge 
Martin  T.  Manton.  It  was  then  virtually  decided  that  the 
Federal  Government  would  go  on  with  the  project  if  the 
proper  sort  of  legislation  and  an  appropriation  could  be  ob- 
tained from  Washington.  The  Board  of  Estimate  Committee, 
which    was   appointed   after   a   hearing   on    the   project    several 


weeks  ago,  and  with  whom  Mr.  Hays'  commission  will  have  to 
deal,  consists  of  Mayor  Hylan,  Comptroller  Craig  and  Julius 
Miller,  President  of  the  Borough  of  Manhattan. 

Comptroller  Craig,  in  discussing  the  matter  with  Postmaster 
General  Hays,  told  him  that  if  the  Federal  authorities  would 
indicate  how  much  ground  they  needed  for  new  buildings  the 
city  would  be  in  a  position  to  make  an  offer  of  land  in  ex- 
change for  the  old  postoffice  site.  In  accordance  with  this 
plan  the  various  Federal  departments  at  Washington  are 
making  investigations  of  their  present  accommodations  in  this 
city  and  the  need  for  additional  space.  When  these  facts  have 
been  collected  tentative  plans  for  one  or  more  buildings  will 
be  drawn  and  estimates  of  cost  will  be  prepared  for  submis- 
sion to  Congress.  Congressman  Rossdale  has  received  assur- 
ances that  his  bill  will  come  up  for  a  hearing  before  the  House 
Committee  on  Public  Buildings  and  Grounds  within  a  few 
weeks.  President  Harding's  approval  of  the  project  marks  a 
departure  from  the  Government's  policy  for  several  years  that 
no  public  building  measures  should  be  considered  by  Congress 
until  other  pressing  legislation  was  disposed  of. 

The  city  officials  are  considering  the  offer  of  the  blocTc 
bounded  by  Leonard  street  on  the  north,  Baxter  street  on  the 
east.  Worth  street  on  the  south  and  Center  street  on  the  west. 

Postmaster  Morgan  is  working  with  the  special  committee 
appointed  by  Postmaster  General  Hays  to  study  ways  of  im- 
proving the  postal  service  in  this  city.  The  members  of  this 
committee  are  William  Fellowes  Morgan,  President  of  the 
Merchants'  Association;  Clarence  H.  Kelsey,  President  of  the 
Title  Guarantee  and  Trust  Company;  Michael  Friedsam,  Presi- 
dent of  B.  Altman  &  Co..  and  ex-Governor  Alfred  E.  Smith,

Review  of  Real  Estate  Market  for   the   Current  Week 

Eveiy  Borough  of  the  City  Figured  Prominently  in  the  Dealing  and  Residential, 
Manufacturing  and  Commercial  Parcels  Divided  Honors 


THERE  were  a  few  notable  high  spots  in  the  real  estate 
market  this  week,  together  with  a  varied  assortment  of 
general  dealing.  Emphasizing  the  heavy  dealing  in  va- 
cant plots  in  the  Bronx,  that  has  prevailed  for  many  months, 
was  the  sale  of  the  old  homestead  tract  of  the  Patterson  es- 
tate, comprising  34  lots  and  overlooking  Poe  Park,  in  the 
Fordham  section.  The  old  holding  was  for  many  years  the 
residence  of  the  late  well  known  City  Magistrate  and  politician, 
Jacob  Patterson.  The  tract  will  be  improved  with  large  apart- 
ment houses  and  a  picturesque  spot  will  have  vanished.  An- 
other big  transaction  was  the  sale  of  a  six-story  factory  build- 
ing, with  railroad  connections,  in  Long  Island  City. 

The  Childs  Restaurant  firm  bought  a  building,  in  the  Broad- 
way section  of  Harlem,  for  its  business  uses.  This  is  the 
second  parcel  that  this  chain  store  firm  has  bought  within  two 
weeks.  Its  policy  usually,  in  the  past,  has  been  to  lease  a 
store  or  building  for  21  years  or  more  and  equip  it  for  its  pur- 
poses. Perhaps  the  notably  high  rentals  on  new  leases  in  busy 
centers  is  impelling  the  firm  to  buy  links  in  its  chain  as  a  more 
satisfactory  and  profitable  way  of  handling  them.  Another 
large  sale  in  Long  Island  City  was  that  of  the  American  Chicle 
Company's  plant  to  a  dye  firm. 

Marking  activity  in  improved  property  in  the  Bronx  was 
the  resale  of  the  Haffen  Brewery  property  in  the  Melrose 
section.    The  sale  to  the  city  of  a  9-story  concrete  loft  building 


in  Brooklyn,  for  use  by  the  Board  of  Education,  was  another 
distinguishing  feature  of  a  busy  week.  There  were  some  large 
apartment  house  deals  in  the  northern  reaches  of  town.  A 
landmark  was  marked  for  demolition  when  old  St.  Luke's  Ger- 
man Evangelical  Church  property,  on  West  42d  street,  changed 
hands.  Church  sites  adjacent  to  Times  Square  or  any  other 
vital  center  of  the  city's  life  have  become  too  valuable  for 
religious  uses;  but,  the  church  that  has  such  a  site  to  sell  is 
hicky. 

Two  large  sites  for  modern  buildings  in  the  Pennsylvania 
zone  and  the  sale  of  some  small  parcels  there  swelled  the  total 
of  the  week's  business  remarkably.  The  lower  West  side 
contributed  some  sales  that  mark  an  activity  caused  by  the 
building  of  the  vehicular  tunnel.  Numerous  business  tenants 
bought  the  properties  they  occupy.  This  may  be  taken  as  sta- 
bility of  business  in  given  centers  and  a  strengthening  of  the 
investment  movement  throughout  the  city.  Some  large  parcels 
on  Staten  Island  changed  hands. 

Some  large  and  long-term  leases  in  strategic  business  sec- 
tions were  negotiated.  The  renewal  of  a  long  lease  in  the 
chemical  district  was  marked  by  a  one  hundred  per  cent  in- 
crease in  the  rental.  Numerous  dwellings  in  good  residential 
sections  were  leased  and  several  were  leased  for  the  purpose 
of  remodeling  into  business  structures  and  small  apartment 
houses. 


PRIVATE  REALTY  SALES. 


THE  total  number  of  sales  reported,  but  not 
recorded  in  Manhattan  this  week,  was  127. 
as  against  133  last  week  and  DS  a  year  ago. 

The  number  of  sales  south  of  5ftth  st  was  51, 
as  compared  with  5ii  last  week  and  76  a  year 
ago. 

The  number  of  sales  north  of  59th  st  was  76, 
as  compared  with  74  last  week  and  44  a  year 
ago. 

From  the  Bronx  53  sales  at  private  contract 
were  reported,  as  against  56  last  week  and  20 
a  year  ago. 

Statistical  tables,  including  the  number  of  re- 
corded   instruments,   will   be  found   on   page  84. 


Another  Ancient  Holding  Sold 

An  additional  purchase  has  been  made  by  I. 
Randolph  Jacobs  and  Everett  Jacobs  to  their 
holdings  by  the  acquisition  of  557  Water  st.,  a 
5-story  brick  warehouse,  size  24x74.4,  through 
Harry  B.  Cutner,  from  the  estate  of  Katherine 
Remson  Hunter,  another  branch  of  the  old 
Rutger's  family,  who  part  with  this  property 
after  an  undisturbed  ownership  dating  back 
over  250  years.  M'-ssrs.  Jacobs  now  control  the 
four  warehouses,  557-565  Water  at. 


Seamans    Estate    Sells   a   Corner. 

L.  Tanenbaum,  Strauss  &  Co,  sold  lor  the  es- 
tate of  Clarence  W.  Seamans  to  George  A. 
Gunshor  the  northeast  corner  -if  Bloccker  and 
Lafayette  sts,  a  gore  strip  2xli;0x81,  running 
along  Bleecker  st  to  Shinbone  alley.  The  es- 
tate at  one  time  owned  the  adjoining  improved 
parcel  and  sold  it  in  1920  through  the  same 
brokers.  The  late  Mr.  Seamans  was  long  of  the 
firm  of  Wyckoff,  Seamans  &  Benedict. 

The  buyer  of  the  gore  will  improve  it  with 
a  store  structure.  The  gore  was  caused  by  the 
widening  of  Lafayette  st. 


Tenant   Buys    Hudson   St.   Parcel 

Crist  &  Herrick  sold  for  Herbert  and  Albert 
Marshall,  to  the  tenant.  555  Hudson  st..  a  3- 
Btory  brick  building  on  a  lot  16x87.4x16.9,  ad- 
Joining  the  northwest  corner  of  Perry  st. 


Bradhurst    Av.    Corner    Sold 

Nehring  Bros,  sold  for  the  Chateau  Holding 
Corporation.  Sidney  Sonn,  president,  to  Fred- 
erick Horlina:  242-246  Bradhurst  av.,  two  6- 
story  apartment  houses,  on  a  plot  101.11,  north- 
east corner  of  ln4lh  St.,  overlooking  Colonial 
Park.     The  immediate  corner  contains  stores. 


Resells    Elevator  Apartments 

The  two  6-story  elevator  apartment  houses. 
240x07.4.  at  715  to  725  West  172d  St.,  have  been 
purchased  from  the  Ralph  Realty  Co.,  Samuel 
Wacht,    Jr.,    president,    by    the    Joe-Hen    Realty 


Co.,  Joseph  Goldfein  president.  The  houses  are 
between  Fort  Washington  and  Haven  avs,  and 
are  arranged  for  84  families.  They  were  held 
at  $.")50,000  and  return  an  annual  rental  of 
.$00,000.     Benjamin   Harris  was  the   broker. 

This  is  part  of  the  square  block  comprising 
ten  apartment  houses  and  19  lots,  bounded  by 
Fort  Washington  and  Haven  avs..  172d  and  173d 
sts.,  bought  by  the  sellers  in  November  from 
the  Ecallaw  Co.  All  of  the  block  has  now  been 
resold  with  the  exception  of  the  Fort  Washing- 
ton av  block  front.  A  large  vacant  parcel  was 
sold  to  Joseph  Wolkenberg,  who  is  erecting  two 
elevator  apartments. 


City  Buys  Big  Brooklyn  Building 

M.  &  L.  Hess  sold  for  the  Tillary  Construction 
Co..  to  the  City  of  New  York  the  9-story  rein- 
forced concrete  and  fireproof  building.  200x100, 
covering  the  block  fronting  on  the  side  of  Con- 
cord St.,  from  Duffic.'ld  st  to  Flatbush  av  exten- 
sion. The  ground  area  is  20,000  square  feet, 
while  the  structure  itself  embraces  180,000 
square  feet. 

The  same  brokers  leased  4  floors  of  this  build- 
ing in  October,  1921.  to  the  Board  of  Education. 
The  city  authorities,  however,  found  it  to  the 
advantage  of  the  city  to  become  owner  rather 
than  lessee,  and  hence  purchnsed  the  property. 
The  owners  were  asking  $850,000.  The  Board 
of  Education  has  taken  possession  and  is  now 
occupying   the   premises. 


President    Kelsey's   Annual    Report 

C.  H.  Kelsey.  president  of  the  Title  Guaran- 
tee and  Trust  Company,  submitted  his  annual 
report  to  the  stockholders  and  trustees  at  the 
annual  meeting  of  the  company,  held  on  Tues- 
day last.  President  Kelsey  pointed  out  that 
from  the  standpoint  of  earnings  1921  was  the 
most  productive  year  in  the  company's  history, 
showing  net  profits  of  $2,461,562.  He  added, 
however,  that  these  excess  earnings  were  due  to 
the  fact  that  the  securities  sold  showed  a  profit 
ins'end  of  showing  a  loss,  as  they  did  in  1920. 

The  statement  of  the  condition  of  the  com- 
pany on  December  31.  1921.  shows  total  re- 
sources of  $54,77O..^iO0.54.  of  which  $13,987,042.11 
repres'^nts  bonds  and  mortgages.  The  Title 
Gupranteo  and  Trust  Company  is  cipitalized  at 
$7,500,000,  its  surplus  at  the  end  of  the  year  was 
$11,000,000.    and    undivided   profits   $584,427.23. 

In  the  course  of  his  annual  report.  President 
Kelspy  brought  out  the  fact  that  th^re  were 
fewer  deeds  and  mortgages  recorded  this  year 
in  most  counties  in  and  surrounding  Greater 
New  York.  Queens.  Richmond  and  Nassau 
show  a  slight  Increase  in  the  number  of  deeds 
and  mortgages  recorded,  but  the  total  number 
for  Greater  New  York  and  surrounding  coun- 
ties this  year  is  241.020  as  compared  with  272,- 
795  instruments  for  1920.  The  company's  busi- 
ness in  Brooklyn  and  Queens  shows  an  increase 
in  earnings,  but  Mnnhattan,  Staten  Island  and 
Westchester   a  decrease. 

A    total    of   31.170   titles   were    examined    com- 


pared   to    34,353    last    year    and    40,182    for    the 
year  1019,  which   was  the  record  year. 

Continuing,  the  report  says :  "Our  sale  ot 
guaranteed  mortgages,  including  guaranteed 
mortgage  certificates,  this  year  amounted  to 
$55,642,278.  This  is  the  largest  sale  of  mort- 
gages since  the  year  1909  when  the  sales  amount- 
ed to  $63,000,000.  There  are  only  four  years  in 
our  history  where  the  amount  has  exceeded  the 
present  year's  sales.  These  were  the  years  1904, 
1905.   1006  and  1909. 

"Of  the  more  than  $55,000,000  In  mortgages 
sold  last  year,  $13,000,000  were  certificates  sold 
to  about  seven  thousand  separate  investors. 
These  small  investors  are  not  concerned  with 
income  taxes  and  through  these  certificates,  se- 
cure a  high  type  of  mortgage  investment  and 
safety  of  principal  together  with  a  liberal  re- 
turn on  their  money  and  freedom  from  any  dan- 
ger of  loss  which  many  of  them  have  exper- 
ienced in  investing  in  fluctuating  securities  and, 
far    too    often,    wild-cat   ventures. 

"The  company,  on  the  other  hand,  has  been 
able  to  take  large  mortgages  without  giving 
thought  to  finding  some  large  investing  institu- 
tion to  take  them  off  its  hands.  We  took  last 
year  and  disposed  of  in  these  certificates  many 
large  mortgages.  Among  them,  one  of  $1,500,000 
on  the  Garment  Center  Building,  $775,000  on  the 
Combustion  Engineering  Building  at  Nos.  43-47 
Broad  St..  $750  000  on  the  Brooklyn  Edison  plant, 
$650,000  on  440  Fourth  Ave.,  .$500,000  on  the 
Town  Hall,  $.500,000  on  the  New  England  Apart- 
ments and  $1,250,000  on  the  Pershing  Square 
property  opposite  the  Grand  Central  Terminal. 

"Besides  the  larger  mortgages,  there  were 
many  mortgages  of  $100,000  and  less  sold  to 
investors  through  our  certificates.  The  first 
weok  of  January  is  particularly  investment  week 
and  the  sales  this  year  have  exceeded  anything 
we  have  ever  done  before  during  this  part  of  the 
year.  In  the  first  week  of  the  year  with  four  and 
on"-half  working  days,  the  Manhattan  offce  sold 
$856,000  worth  of  certificates  to  391  people  and 
the  total  sales  of  mortgages  and  certificates  In 
both  Manhattan  and  Brooklyn  amounted  to  more 
than  $2,000,000." 

The  Banking  Department,  it  is  shown  in  the 
report,  had  dr-nosits  at  the  close  of  the  year 
amounting  to  $.33,773,078.  representing  13.226  ac- 
counts. The  earnings  of  thi  sdepartment  during 
the  yea  raraounted  to  $500,170.73.  after  charging 
off  every  questionable  loan. 

An  interesting  feature  of  President  Kelsey's 
annual  report  was  his  comment  on  the  prospects 
for  the  new  year.  In  this  connection,  he  said  : 
"We  are  looking  for  a  good  year  in  1922.  Capi- 
tal is  ready  for  investment  in  building  if  only 
investors  can  be  assured  that  those  who  build 
the  houses  will  get  their  raalorials  at  fair  prices 
and  that  thosp  who  work  on  the  houses  will  do 
a  fair  day's  work  for  a  generous  day's  pay.  It 
wn  can  have  honestly  construrted  buildings,  there 
is  no  limit  to  the  prosperity  that  can  come  to 
thr'  building  industry  in  Now  York  City  and  its 
surroundings  during  the  coming  year.  Almost 
all  sorts  of  construction  are  needed  badly  and 
we  will   make   wonderful   progress   if  those  who

supply  the  material  and  those  ■who  do  the  work 
can  only  learn  that  they  suffer  along  with  the 
rest  of  the  community  when  the  materialman 
fixes  unfair  prices  and  the  mechanic  furnishes 
only  half  a  day's  work  for  a  full  day's  pay.  Real 
profits  and  real  wages  are  not  increased  by  such 
methods.  So  much  more  must  be  spent  for  the 
necessities  and  the  pleasures  of  life  that  the 
real  income  is  much  lower  than  it  seems  and  the 
amount  in  the  bank  at  the  end  of  the  year  does 
not  spell  prosperity. 

"The  fact  is  that  the  tax  exemption  privilege 
on  new  construction  is  really  working  to  the  dis- 
advantage of  the  people  who  need  housing  relief 
most  seriously — the  people  who  cannot  pay  more 
than  $8  or  $10  a  room  per  month.  The  tax  ex- 
emption is  creating  a  boom  in  the  construction 
of  homes  for  the  well-to-do — those  who  can  pay 
$25  or  more  per  room  per  month,  and  if  it  con- 
tinues, there  will  soon  be  an  over-production  of 
such  space  and  nothing  will  be  done  for  the 
poore  rclasses.  Homes  are  not  built  for  them 
because,  with  the  present  costs  of  material  and 
high  cost  and  low  productivity  of  labor,  no  homes 
can  be  built  to  rent  for  $8  or  $10  per  room  per 
month.  The  result  is  that  so  long  as  labor  can 
be  employed  at  the  extravagant  rates  demanded 
and  produce  as  little  as  it  does,  the  material  men 
can  get  the  high  prices  demanded  for  material, 
and  builders  can  employ  both  and  have  the  tax- 
payers foot  the  bills,  there  will  be  nothing  done 
to  produce  the  kind  of  homes  that  are  most  need- 
ed. There  should  be  no  extension  of  the  tax  ex- 
emption and  no  more  building  of  the  kind  of 
homes  that  have  been  produced  so  extensively 
during  1921,  but  labor  should  come  down  in  its 
wages  and  up  in  its  production  and  material 
prices  should  come  down  so  that  something  can 
be  done  for  those  who  can  pay  only  a  low  rent."

Large   Industrial    Building   Sold 

Goodyear  Tire  &  Rubber  Co.  sold  for  all  cash, 
for  approximately  $500,000,  to  the  Standard 
Sanitary  Manufacturing  Co.  of  New  York  and 
Pittsburgh,  manufacturers  of  plumbers*  supplies, 
the  6-story  fireproof  building,  with  railroad 
siding,  comprising  83.000  square  feet  of  floor 
space,  with  69.000  square  feet  of  vacant  land 
adjacent,  located  in  the  industrial  section  of 
Long  Island  City,  at  the  southwest  corner 
Jackson  av.  and  Honeywell  st.,  opposite  the 
Beebe  av.  subway  station  and  12  minutes  from 
the  Grand  Central  station.  Cross  &  Brown 
were  the  brokers. 

The  building  was  erected  by  the  Goodyear 
Tire  &  Rubber  Co.  for  occupancy  by  Its  Eastern 
distributing  house.  Subsequently  it  was  leased, 
through  the  Cross  &  Brown  Co.,  to  the  Chevrolet 
Motor  Co.  for  a  term  of  10  years,  for  the  uses 
of  the  research  department  of  that  company. 
After  the  Dupont  interests  gained  control  of  the 
General  Motors  Co.  this  department  was  re- 
moved to  Detroit.  With  the  sale  of  the  building 
the  lease  to  the  General  Motors  Co.  hag  been 
cancelled.  This  is  one  of  the  few  buildings 
with  a  railroad  siding  available  in  the  indus- 
trial  section   of   Long   Island   City. 


Big  Bronx  Corner  Resold

frontage,  and  the  block  fronting  on  the  west 
side  of  Valentine  av.  having  over  a  313-foot

It  has  an  ideal  location,  as  it  is  situated  di- 
rectly opposite  Poe  Park  and  the  elevator  apart- 
ment house,  which  is  now  being  constructed  by 
a  prominent  Bronx  builder,  who  has  also  pur-

accomodate  300  families,  and  will  be  laid  out  in 
suites  of  2.  3,  4  and  5  rooms.  The  cost  of  this 
operation    is   estimated   at   $2,000,000.

the  plot  on  Valentine  av  will  be  disposed  of  to 
builders  for  apartment  house  sites  and  the 
Kingsbridge  rd.  site  will  be  disposed  of  to 
builders  for  business. 

This  property  has  been  in  the  Patterson

New    York    Title   &   Mortgage   Company 
Establishes   New  Records 

In  his  annual  report  to  the  stockholders  of 
the  New  York  Title  &  Mortgage  Company,  Persi- 
dent  Harry  A.  Kahler  states  that  the  operating 
results  for  1921  record  another  advance  over  all 
previous  years  in  the  history  of  that  company. 
President  Kahler  further  advised  the  stock- 
holders : 

"The  current  ease  in  the  money  market  Is 
strengthening  the  demand  for  guaranteed  mort- 
gages and  certificates.  Mortgage  certificates  are 
acquiring  an  unique  place  among  investment 
securities.  They  combine  the  safety  of  an  or- 
dinary investment  with  insurance  against  shrink- 
age in  capital  value  and  fiexibility  in  amounts 
available.  Public  appreciation  of  the  safety  and 
convenience  of  our  guaranteed  mortgage  certi- 
ficates will  surely  furthe  rexpand  this  depart- 
ment of  the  company's  business. 

"Satisfactory  growth  of  the  American  Trust 
Company  continues  in  all  branches  of  its  busi- 
ness. There  has  been  a  substantial  increase  in 
the  trust  department  activities,  including  regis- 
trar and  transfer  work,  requiring  additional 
space  for  proper  administration.  Impotrant  ad- 
ditions to  facilities  for  both  the  Title  Company 
and  Trust  Company  are  also  to  be  made  in  the 
Brooklyn  and  Jamaica  offices,  the  latter  ntfw 
being  under  way. 

"The  total  number  of  deposits  in  the  American 
Trust  Company  on  December  31,  1921,  was  7,070, 
an  increase  of  1,565  during  the  year.  The  total 
capital,  surplus  and  profits  were  $2,156,221.44, 
with  total  resources  of  $19,042,563.87,  at  the  end 
of  the  year.  Dividends  at  the  rate  of  six  per 
cent,  per  annum,  payable  quarterly,  are  now 
being  distributed.  After  paying  dividends,  set- 
ting aside  reserves  fo  rtaxes  and  other  purposes, 
and  inventorying  securities  at  market  values, 
the  balance  of  earnings  for  1921,  amounting  to 
.fl50. 448.93,  was  carried  forward  to  undivided 
profits.  This  gives  the  American  Trust  Com- 
pany stock  a  book  value  of  $143.75  per  share,  at 
which  figure  it  is  carried  as  of  December  31, 
1921.  on  the  books  of  the  Title  Company. 

"The  current  trend  of  title  and  mortgage  busi- 
ness is  indicated  by  the  fact  that,  during  the 
month  of  December,  the  numbe  rof  title  items 
and  the  gross  amount  of  fees  entered  were 
greater  than  in  any  other  month  of  the  year." 

President  Kahler  also  presents  in  his  report 
some  interesting  comparisons  of  important  items 
in  the  company's  operations  for  the  past  two 
years,  showing  that  during  1921  a  tota  lof  $32,- 
206.321.23  was  loaned  on  bond  and  mortgage,  as 
against  a  total  of  $23,028,013.82  in  1920,  an  in- 
cerase  of  $9,177,707.41  ;  sales  and  mortgages 
totaled  $30,599,983.66  in  1921,  as  against  $22,986,- 
241.69  in  1920,  an  increase  of  $7,613,741.97  ;  and 
that  at  the  end  of  1921  the  company's  total  of 
guarantee  dmortgages  outstanding  was  $59,923,- 
432.28.  as  against  $50,786,350.32  at  the  close  of 
1920.  an  increase  during  the  last  year  of  $9,137.- 
081.96. 

The  gross  income  of  the  company  for  the  year 
1921  was  $1,662,670.07,  and  the  expenses,  includ- 
ing appropriations  for  employees'  profit-sharing 
fund,  were  $921,994.81,  leaving  net  earnings  for 
the  year  of  $740,675.26.  Dividends  paid  within 
the  year  amounted  to  $299,376.00,  and  the  un- 
divided profits  shown  on  December  31  1921 
amounted  to  $1,432,712.23.

Principal    Structures    Scheduled    for    Erection   in    1922 

Important  Operations  Already  Under  Contract  Plus  Numerous  Projects  Planning 
Assure  Busy  Building  Season  in  Metropolitan  Area 


THERE  is  every  present  indication  that  1922  will  be  a  banner 
year  for  building  interest  in  the  Metropolitan  District. 
Already  the  list  of  proposed  operations  is  far  more  ex- 
tensive and  diversified  than  it  was  at  this  time  in  1921  and 
every  day  brings  announcements  of  new  operations  either  be- 
ing planned  or  actually  placed  under  contract.  Considerable 
of  the  new  construction  reported  during  the  past  month  is 
scheduled  for  an  immediate  start  and  the  remainder  will  in  all 
probability  be  under  way  before  the  end  of  spring. 


amount  of  small  residential  construction,  such  as  non-fire- 
proof apartments,  garages,  srnall  factories,  stores,  etc.  Al- 
though some  speculative  operations  have  been  included  they 
are  in  every  instance  imposing  structures  designed  for  promi- 
nent locations,  and  therefore  should  appear  in  this  list  in 
order  to  make  it  representative  of  the  character  of  work  that

portant of  that  large  group  of  operations  to  be  erected  dnrin^ 
the    coming   months,    and    does    not    include    any    of    the    vast 


vival  of  interest  in  the  commercial  development  of  the  mid- 
town  district  of  Manhattan.  Already'  the  plans  for  new  struc- 
tures in  this  section  will  require  the  outlay  of  millions  of  dol- 
lars, and  there  are  negotiations  now  under  way  that  will  materially 
increase  the  number  of  l.irge  structural  operations  in  this  vicinity.

RECORD    AND     GUIDE 


January  21,  1922 


Walter  Stabler  Discusses  Mortgages  at  Y.  M.  C.  A.  Lecture  Course 


(Continued  from  page  70) 
began  about    10  years  ago,  and    it  is    now  a  most    important 
branch  of  the  mortgage  business. 

"Now,  as  to  a  second  mortgage.  It  is  something  you  pay  for 
and  pay  well.  Big  chances  are  often  taken  with  them.  High 
rates  of  interest  and  bonuses  usually  accompany  it  as  well 
as  discounts.  A  second  mortgage  is  frequently  a  necessity.  It 
is  a  fairly  safe  investment  if  not  too  large.  One  always  needs 
to  remember  that  the  first  mortgage  takes  precedence  and  the 
holder  of  a  second  mortgage  should  look  well  into  the  first 
one.  Fine  first  mortgages  are  those  of  the  average  building 
and  loan  association.  A  good  feature  of  them  is  that  they  are 
steadily  amortized.  Building  and  loan  associations  are  active 
in  every  state  and  they  are  very  strong  in  some.  Their  total 
assets  are  $2,500,000,000  in  the' nation.  Their  operations  mean 
that  after  a  dozen  years  many  a  man  owns  his  own  home  who 
would  not  otherwise  own  it. 

-Much  has  been  said,"  continued  Mr.  Stabler,  "about  speculative 
builders  They  are  a  necessity  to  any  growing  community,  espe- 
cially to  a  large  city.  New  York  has  practically  been  built  and 
rebuilt  by  speculative  builders.  It  is  their  policy  to  borrow  all 
that  they  can  get  on  a  building  undertaking.  They  take  build- 
ing or  temporary  loans.  An  agreement  is  made  with  the  lender 
to  advance  monev  in  given  sums  of  the  total  to  be  obtained  at 
certain  stages  of  construction.  When  the  building  is  completed 
the  lender  is  sure  to  make  a  search  tor  liens  and  the  final  pay- 
ment is  not  made  until  there  is  evidence  there  are  no  liens. 
Insurance  and  other  companies  make  permanent  loans  on  real 
estate.  The  largest  part  of  the  Metropolitan  Life  Insurance 
Company's  business  is  in  permanent  mortgage  and  building  loans. 

'■Before  a  big  lender  on  building  loans  does  business  at  all 
with  a  builder,  the  lender  must  have  plans  submitted  for  minute 
inspection  by  an  architect  employed  by  the  lending  institution 
tor  that  purpose.  They  must  be  good  plans  to  be  favorably  con- 
sidered. They  must  visualize  the  building  to  the  practised  eye 
as  it  will  look  when  completed,  including  all  of  its  living  con- 
veniences and  comforts,  its  heating  and  sanitary  systems,  etc. 
When  buying  land,  a  builder  should  take  all  of  this  into  con- 
sideration. And  then  go  to  the  company's  architect  with  com- 
prehensive plans  for  careful  inspection.  The  architect  examines 
the  layout  of  the  plumbing,  heating,  elevator  service  and  what 
not.  There  are  stringent  provisions  in  the  building  loan  agree- 
ment regarding  all  of  these  factors  of  construction.  And  it  they 
are  not  fully  complied  with  the  builder  may  not  get  his  loan; 
at  least  not  all  of  it.  The  strong  hand  held  over  building  loans 
by  the  large  lending  institutions  has  resulted  in  better  built 
buildings  of  all  kinds.  The  speculative  builder  is  thereby  re- 
strained from  doing  poor  work  and  the  building  is  a  better  in- 
vestment for  the  buyer  and  a  better  investment  for  the  mort- 
gagee. The  building  loan  agreement  is  in  effect  a  certificate  of 
the  character  of  the  structure.  All  lenders,  large  and  small, 
should  follow  this  course.  It  tends  to  stabilize  real  estate.  There 
is  a  plan  in  contemplation  by  the  title  insurance  companies  to 
establish  a  bureau  to  enforce  such  an  agreement  where  they 
have  anything  to  do  with  building  loans.  It  makes  buildings 
better  to  lend  on  and  above  all   it  makes  better  buildings. 

"There  is  a  tendency,  nowadays,  to  make  long  term  loans  more 
popular,  with  instalment  payments.  The  American  Ambassador 
to  France,  Hon.  Myron  T.  Hcrrick,  is  not  only  a  keen  diplomat 
and  publicist,  but  he  is  also  a  careful  observer  of  contemporary 
events  of  life.  He  has  written  a  book  entitled  'Rural  Credits,' 
wherein  he  elucidates  the  mortgage  lending  methods  among  the 
populace  of  France,  Belgium,  Germany,  Austria  and  the  Scandi- 
navian countries.  You  should  all  read  it.  In  those  countries 
they  have  very  long  term  mortgage  loans  on  all  kinds  of  real 
estate,  terms  of  50  years  and  less,  and  terms  that  run  beyond  a 
lifetime  and  are  taken  up  by  the  heirs  of  the  departed.  The  rate 
of  interest  is  very  low.  There  is  an  amortization  of  one  per 
cent,  or  more  a  year,  according  to  the  capacity  to  pay  com- 
fortably. These  mortgages  encourage  thrift  among  the  working 
classes  and  they  accordingly  promote  a  better  social  status  and 
better  civilization. 

"The  general  impression  of  a  mortgage  is  that  it  runs  forever. 


If  it  does  it  should  not.  Something  should  be  paid  off  of  a  mort- 
gage every  year,  even  though  it  be  a  little.  It  makes  the  lender 
feel  more  comfortable  and  the  borrower  feel  easier  and  richer. 
The  lender  can  only  call  so  much  at  one  time  as  is  mutually 
agreed  upon.  Savings  banks  everywhere  ought  to  follow  this 
rule,  but  they  do  not  always  do  so.  Some  such  mortgages  run 
in  their  entirety  for  years.  A  good  plan  would  be  to  arrange 
longer  term  loans  with  easy  payments.  Such  a  policy  affords 
money  to  help  others  on  the  road  to  safety.  I  hope  to  see  such 
a  plan  become  more  general.  Guaranteed  mortgages  are  the 
best  for  small  investors  and  of  that  there  is  no  doubt.  I  hope 
that  the  era  will  arrive  when  banks  and  insurance  companies 
will  lend  almost  entirely  on  real  estate  mortgages.  When  a 
mortgagor  has  paid  something  on  account  of  his  mortgage  he 
has  not  spent  it  or  sent  good  money  after  bad.  He  has  simply 
invested  it  and  that  is  the  way  he  should  feel  about  it.  That 
is  what  I  tell  mortgagors  I  deal  with.  The  method  of  paying 
mortgages  differs  in  nearly  all  the  states.  New  York  has  the 
safest  method  of  all.  Every  satisfied  mortgage  or  payment  on 
a  mortgage  is  recoriJed.  In  New  Jersey  only  a  receipt  is  written 
on  the   mortgage   instrument  that  a  payment   has  been   made. 

"Blanket  mortgages  are  another  form  of  mortgage  security. 
Many  land  companies  avail  themselves  of  them.  A  blanket  mort- 
gage should  provide  for  releases,  from  the  blanket,  to  given  lot 
buyers.  The  particular  lot  and  block  number  sold  should  be 
marked  'Released'  on  the  map  or  diagram  filed  with  a  blanket 
mortgage.  Sometimes  releases  are  not  provided  for,  but  where 
they   are    provided    for   there    is   no    difficulty." 

Discussing  the  abolition  of  the  mortgage  tax  in  New  York 
State,  Mr.  Stabler  said:  "In  its  place  the  lender  has  a  mort- 
gage recording  tax.  It  calls  for  the  collection  of  one-half  of 
one  per  cent.  This  income  is  divided  between  the  county  and 
the  state.  In  New  York  and  adjacent  counties  the  tax  yields 
a  large  revenue.  A  mortgage  is  otherwise  exempt  from  state 
and  local  taxation.  Theoretically  the  lender  pays  the  tax,  but 
actually  the  borrower  does.  The  unusual  mortgage  tax  cre- 
ated the  impression  that  the  title  companies  lending  on  mort- 
gage were  practicing  usury,  inasmuch  as  the  interest  on  the 
mortgage  was  often  six  per  cent  and  the  mortgage  tax  was 
additional.  It  is  now  fully  settled  that  there  is  no  usury  prac- 
ticed, as  any  tax  charged  goes  to  the  state  and  not  to  the 
lender.  Very  few  states  have  a  mortgage  tax  of  any  kind. 
The  tax  does  not  exempt  such  mortgages  as  are  subject  to  it 
from  the  income  tax.  The  last  few  years  have  witnessed  some 
of  the  largest  real  estate  owners  paying  73  per  cent,  of  their 
income  annually  over  to  the  government  in  the  form  of  an 
income  tax.  This  condition  has  resulted  in  eliminating  the  big 
individual  lenders  from  the  mortgage  market,  and  it  has  been 
a  serious  blow.  On  a  mortgage  at  six  per  cent  they  each  got 
net  about  1  per  cent.  The  result  has  been  that  these  former 
big  lenders  have  put  their  money  into  tax  exempt  securities. 
It  has  removed  from  the  mortgage  loan  market  hundreds  of 
millions  of  dollars^  and  the  circumstance  accounts  for  the  high 
rates  of  interest  that  have  prevailed  so  long.  There  are  now 
sixteen  billions  of  dollars  in  tax  exempt  securities.  Secretary 
of  the  Treasury  Mellon  recently  announced  that  there  would  be 
no  more  of  them.  At  least  he  will  recommend  that  there  will 
be  no  more  of  them,  anyway.  And  it  is  probable  that  there 
will  not  be. 

"As  regards  title  insurance,  it  is  wise  for  every  buyer  of 
property  and  every  lender  of  money  on  mortgage  to  be  sure 
of  the  validity  of  the  title.  Do  not  trust  to  any  guess  work 
and  trust  no  one  except  the  clear  title  after  search.  It  is  the 
only  safe  and  sound  way.  Thousands  of  persons  have  had  bit- 
ter experiences  by  not  having  titles  searched  and  guaranteed."

this  year  aggregate  to  date  400,  including  one-  and  two-family 
and  multi-family  houses. 

The  Bron.x  during  1922  will  far  outstrip  its  building  record  of 
1921.  During  the  last  few  months  there  has  been  an  extensive 
sale  of  large  vacant  plots  there,  for  improvement  with  apart- 
ment houses.  Since  January  1  this  year  up  to  last  Monday 
there  had  been  filed  with  the  Bronx  Bureau  of  Buildings  plans 
for  155  multi-family  houses,  to  accommodate  5,850  families;  and 
a  total  of  1^217  one-  and  two-family  houses  to  accommodate 
1,550  families.  During  1921  the  Bronx  built  only  seventy  multi- 
family  houses,  providing  for  2,710  families,  and  a   total  of  618 


one-  and  two-family  houses  that  accommodate  780  families. 
The  total  cost  of  living  space  construction  in  the  Bronx  last 
year  was  $56,167,749,  whereas  during  1920  the  total  cost  was 
only  $7,672,975.  Which  shows  that  the  Bronx  in  1921  did  more 
than  eight  and  one-half  times  as  much  to  meet  the  living 
situation  as  it  did  in  1920.  In  1916  there  were  6,033  vacancies 
in  buildings  in  the  Bron.x  containing  three  or  more  families. 

The  figures  of  population  and  building  during  1920  and  1921 
prove  conclusively  that  there  cannot  be  a  shortage  as  great  as 
is  claimed  by  some,  and  that  whatever  shortage  exists  today 
will  be  substantially  reduced  by  November  1  next  when  the 
rent  laws,  unless  extended,  will  e.xpire  by  limitation.

Many  Large  Buildings  Planned  for  Early  Spring  Start 


Construction    Statistics   Tabulated   by    F.  W.    Dodge    Company    Show 
in  Commercial  and  Industrial  Activity  in  Local  Territory 


Gains 


RECORDS  of  building  commitments  for  the  first  two 
weeks  of  1922  show  that  the  construction  industry  is 
in  an  infinitely  better  position  than  it  was  one  year 
ago  and  that  there  is  every  reason  for  an  optimistic  attitude 
on  the  part  of  every  one  affihiated  with  the  planning  and  erec- 
tion of  new  structures.  According  to  figures  tabulated  by  the 
F.  W.  Dodge  Company,  showing  the  number  and  value  of  new 
construction  projects  planned  and  contracted  for  .in  New  York 
State  and  New  Jersey,  north  of  Trenton,  for  the  second  week 
of  1922,  there  is  far  more  work  for  building  interests  in  sight 
at  the  present  time  than  there  was  a  year  ago,  and  every  like- 
lihood that  the  list  of  projected  operations  will  steadily 
increase. 

The  statistics  for  the  week  of  January  7  to  13  inclusive  show 
that  architects  and  engineers  in  this  territory  had  started 
work  on  plans  for  444  new  structural  projects  that  will  in- 
volve an  outlay  of  approximately  $27,622,000.  During  the  same 
week  announcements  were  made  of  the  ward  of  304  contracts 
that  will  require  an  expenditure  of  more  than  $13,000,000. 

Residential  construction  continues  to  predominate  when  the 
figures  for  the  entire  territory  are  analyzed,  but  according  to 
all  reports  there  is  likely  to  be  a  better  ratio  between  housing 
construction  and  all  other  types  of  building  in  the  Metropolitan 


district  during  the  coming  season  than  there  was  last  year. 
Already  there  is  a  decided  improvement  in  the  volume  of  pro- 
posed commercial  and  industrial  construction  scheduled  for 
New  York  City  and  its  environs  and  an  increase  has  also  been 
noted  in  educational  and  philanthropic  building. 

The  list  of  444  operations  for  which  plans  were  announced 
during  the  second  week  of  1922  includes  79  business  projects, 
such  as  stores,  ofiices,  lofts,  commercial  garages,  etc.,  $6,319,- 
500;  7  educational  buildings,  $224,100;  3  hospitals  and  institu- 
tions, $1,610  000;  19  industrial  projects,  $760,000;  11  public  works 
and  public  utilities,  $171,400;  3  religious  and  memorial  pro- 
jects, $148,500;  315  residential  operations,  including  apartments, 
flats  and  tenements  and  one  and  two-family  dwellings,  $17,- 
436,500,  and     7sociaI  and  recreational  projects,  $952,000. 

Among  the  304  projects  for  which  contracts  were  placed  dur- 
ing the  week  were  40  business  and  commercial  jobs  of  various 
types,  $1,873,500;  2  educational  buildings,  $330,000;  4  hospitals 
and  institutions,  $201,000;  6  industrial  projects,  $811,000;  2 
public  structures,  33,000;  20  public  works  and  public  utilities, 
$691,600;  2  religious  and  memorial  buildings,  $35,800;  223  resi- 
dential projects,  including  multi-family  structures  and  one  and 
two-family  houses,  $8,643,500,  and  5  social  and  recreational 
operations,  $477,000.

Efficiency   of  Fire  Windows 

The  steady  increase  in  the  annual  Are 
losses  shown  in  reports  from  all  parts  of 
the  United  States  is  arousing  new  atten- 
tion to  ways  and  means  for  reducing  this 
menace  to  life  and  property,  whose  toll 
during  1921  again  set  a  high  record. 

At  the  present  time  a  method  for  retard- 
ing fires  is  rapidly  gaining  greater  popu- 
larity, which  is  said  to  be  the  most  suc- 
cessful means  yet  devised  for  preventing 
the  spread  of  fires.  This  is  the  Installation 
of  what  are  known  as  "flre  windows"  in 
buildings,  supplanting  shutters  and 
sprinkler  systems. 

Such  windows,  which  are  made  of  wire 
glass — that  is,  glass  re-enforced  by  a  wire 
mesli  which  is  imbedded  in  it — and  have 
hollow  metal  frames,  are  manufactured  by 
the  S.  H.  Pomeroy  Company,  Inc.,  whose 
factory  and  general  offices  are  located  at 
2S2-296  East  134th  street. 

They  were  first  introduced  some  twenty 
years  ago,  and  Avere  immediately  pro- 
claimed far  superior  to  metal  shutters  for 
windows  as  fire  retardants.  Their  inven- 
tion is  said  to  have  been  inspired  by  the 
failure  of  shutters  in  several  disastrous 
h'azes  and  tlie  realization  that  some  more 
efficient  window  protection  was  necessary. 

In  a  numl:)"r  of  s-^'rions  fires  it  was  found 
that  the  wire  glass  windows  not  only  re- 
mained intact  liiit  nrpvented  the  communi- 
cation of  fires  to  inflammable  bulldfnga. 

Since  that  time  the  wire  glass  windows 
have  lieen  adopted  for  many  of  tlie  most 
important  office  and  factory  structurr? 
not  only  in  New  Yorlc  City  and  Its  environs 
but  throughout  the  country,  and  wherever 
tested  by  flre  are  declared  to  have  proved 
their  complete   efflciency. 


TRADE  AND  TECHNICAL 
SOCIETY  EVENTS. 


Creosoted    Wood   Rlock  Floors 

The  use  of  treated  wood  blocli  floors  in 
1920  showed  an  increase  of  over  80  per 
cent,  over  the  1919  figures,  according  to 
the  Service  Bureau  of  the  American  "Wood 
Preservers'  Association.  Creosote  oil  and 
a  creosote  coal-tar  paving  oil  were  used' 
as  preservatives,  with  an  average  absorp- 
tion of  approximately  nine  pounds  pi-r 
cubic  foot.  Incomplete  statistics  for  1921 
show  an  increase  over  the  1920  figures 
and  a  tendency  toward  the  absorption  of 
a  little  less  oil  per  cubic  foot  for  interior 
floors. 

The  desire  for  a  permanent,  resilient 
floor  with  high  wearing  qualities  is  given 
as  the  reason  for  the  increased  demand 
for  floors  of  this  type  for  factories,  ma- 
chine shops,  foundries,  warehouses,  and 
mills   of  various  kinds.

RECORD     AND     GUIDE 


January  21,  1922 


CURRENT    BUILDING    OPERATIONS 


A  GOOD  deal  of  satisfaction  is  daily  being 
manifest  by  construction  interests 
over  tile  manner  in  which  the  building 
situation  is  shaping-  up.  There  is  no  doubt 
that  the  outlook  is  far  more  encouraging 
than  it  "was  one  year  ago  and  that  during 
the  coming  months  a  tremendous  volume 
of  new  construction  will  be  released.  This 
is  already  apparent  through  a  study  of 
the  commitments  of  the  past  few  weeks 
and  an  analysis  of  the  work  being  planned 
by  the  leading  architects  and  engineers 
of  this  city. 

The  new  projects  scheduled  for  an  early 
start  are  much  better  diversified  as  to 
type  than  they  were  one  year  ago;  there 
is  a  large  amount  of  residential  work  con- 
templated and  in  all  probability  this  char- 
acter of  operation  will  continue  to  be  the 
dominating  influence  during  the  forth- 
coming season.  But  there  is  a  very  de- 
cided improvement  in  the  outlook  for  com- 
mercial and  industrial  operations  and  fair 
prospects  for  considerable  educational  and 
philanthropic  building.  Taken  as  a  whole 
the  building  situation  is  far  better  off  at 
present  than  it  has  been  for  a  long  while 
and  if  the  labor  question  could  be  settled 
without  further  delay  there  would  be  no 
reason  for  building  interests  not  experi- 
encing an  unusually  busy  and  prosper- 
ous year. 

The  inclement  weather  of  the  past  few 
weeks  has  slowed  down  business  in  the 
local  building  material  markets  to  some 
extent,  but  there  is  a  lot  of  new  inquiry 
that  is  indicative  of  active  times  just  as 
soon  as  conditions  permit.  Prices  are 
fairly  steady  and  the  only  exception  is  the 
slightly  advanced  quotations  on  common 
brick. 

Common  Brick — Business  in  the  New 
York  wholesale  market  for  Hudson  River 
common  brick  has  been  dull  during  the 
past  week.  The  cold  weather  has  slowed 
down  construction  to  a  considerable  ex- 
tent and  as  a  result  sales  in  the  wholesale 
market  have  been  light.  Inquiry  is  fair, 
however,  and  denotes  a  large  amount  of 
important  construction  ready  for  a  start 
as  soon  as  weather  conditions  permit.  No 
arrivals  of  new  brick  were  reported  this 
week  and  as  long  as  the  river  remains 
ice-bound  there  is  little  likelihood  of  added 
supplies  as  shipment  by  rail  is  prohibitive 
because  of  the  high  freight  rates.  Com- 
mon brick  prices  are  slightly  higher  than 
they  were  last  week.  Although  $15  a 
thousand  is  the  general  quotation  there 
are  several  manufacturers  who  are  ask- 
ing a  slight  advance  over  this  price  and 
it  is  the  general  opinion  that  the  price 
situation    will    be    firm    with    possible    ad- 


vances while  the  source  of  supply  is  shut 
off   by  the   ice. 

Summary — Transactions  in  the  North 
River  brick  market  for  the  week  ending 
Thursday,  January  19,  1922.  Condition  of 
market;  Demand  relatively  light;  prices 
slightly  advanced  and  firm  at  the  new 
level.  Quotations:  Hudson  Rivers,  $15  a 
thousand  to  dealers  in  cargo  lots  along- 
side dock.  Number  of  cargoes  arrived, 
none;  sales,  6.  Distribution;  Manhattan, 
2;  Brooklyn,  4.  Remaining  unsold  in  the 
New  York  wholesale  market,  15. 

Structural  Steel — Although  actual  orders 


for  fabricated  steel  for  buildings  are  not 
numerous  there  is  a  lot  of  new  inquiry  and 
there  is  every  indication  that  within  the 
next  few  weeks  a  decided  change  will  take 
place  in  the  market  situation  as  applied 
to  structural  steel.  Quite  a  number  of 
important  contracts  have  been  awarded  re- 
cently and  a  vast  amount  of  proposed  work 
is  now  out  for  estimates,  so  that  it  is  like- 
ly that  the  commitments  of  the  next  week 
or  so  will  involve  a  large  total  tonnage. 
Among  the  projects  for  which  structural 
steel  orders  are  pending  are  the  addition 
to  Macy's  department  store,  S.OOO  tons;  the

MATERIALS    AND    SUPPLIES 


New  York  Cotton  Exchange,  3,000  tons;  the 
Newark:  Chamber  of  Commerce  Building, 
1.000  tons,  and  a  number  of  smaller  ton- 
nage orders  for  less  prominent  operations. 
The  manner  in  which  the  steel  business  Is 
improving  is  reflected  in  the  monthly  re- 
port of  the  Bridge  Builders  and  Structural 
Society,  which  states  that  during  the, 
month  of  December,  1921.  71,500  tons  of 
fabricated  structural  steel  was  contracted 
for  throughout  the  United  States,  which 
Is  equivalent  to  forty  per  cent,  of  the  en- 
tire capacity  of  the  bridge  and  structural 
shops  of   the  country.      The  total   tonnage 


sold  in  the  United  States  in  1921  was  758,- 
300  tons,  equal  to  thirty-five  per  cent,  of 
capacity. 

Electrical  Supplies  —  Trade  is  fairly  ac- 
tive in  this  line,  and  all  signs  point  to  a 
busy  season  ahead.  Jobbers  generally  re- 
port that  wiring  materials  are  moving 
steadily  and  there  are  indications  that 
both  contractors  and  dealers  are  buying 
somewhat  in  excess  of  their  immediate  re- 
quirements. There  has  been  a  very  decid- 
ed improvement  in  the  number  of  new 
inquiries,  and  with  the  promised  revival  of 
building  there   is   no    doubt   the   electrical

industry  will  experience  excellent  business 
during  the  coming  months.  Prices  gener- 
ally are  steady  and  no  radical  changes  are 
anticipated.  Conduit  stocks  are  in  good 
shape,  and  there  is  a  fair  demand.  The  de- 
mand for  flexible  armored  conduit  and 
rubber-covered  wire  is  steady,  but  with 
marked  signs  of  increasing  as  building  im- 
proves. 

Cast  Iron  Pipe  —  Private  demands  for 
this  commodity  continue  to  dominate  the 
market  and  the  trading  is  somewhat  above 
normal  for  this  time  of  the  year.  There 
Is  but  little  municipal  demand  current,  but 
according  to  plans  now  in  preparation 
there  should  be  a  decided  revival  of  busi- 
ness from  this  source  early  next  spring. 
Throughout  the  cast  iron  pipe  industry 
there  is  a  very  much  better  feeling  than 
existed  at  this  time  one  year  ago.  In  Jan- 
uary, 1921,  manufacturers  were  extremely 
happy  to  be  able  to  operate  their  plants  at 
about  twenty-five  per  cent,  of  capacity, 
while  now  the  busiest  of  the  eastern  man- 
ufacturers is  running  at  about  eighty  per 
cent,  of  capacity  on  actual  orders,  and 
none  are  working  at  less  than  seventy  per 
cent.  Prices  are  firm,  with  New  York 
quotations  as  follows:  6  in.,  and  heavier, 
$47.30  per  net  ton;  5  in.  and  4  in.,  $52.30; 
3  in.,  $62.30,  with  Class  A  and  gas  pipe  $4 
extra  per  ton. 

Reinforcing  Bars — Both  demand  and  in- 
quiry have  improved  during  the  past  week 
or  so  and  manufacturers  anticipate  excel- 
lent business  in  this  line  this  year.  There 
are  indications  of  a  marked  improvement 
in  industrial  and  commercial  construction 
and  reinforced  concrete  will  be  a  popular 
medium  in  this  work.  Concrete  bar  prices 
are  steady. 

AVindo^v  Glass — Business  in  this  line  has 
dropped  off  to  some  extent  during  the  past 
week  or  so,  but  prospects  for  spring  and 
summer  business  are  very  good,  as  there 
rs  a  vast  amount  of  proposed  building  that 
will  likely  be  started  soon.  The  outlook 
for  another  large  residential  building 
movement  this  year  is  promising  and  job- 
bers are  depending-  upon  this  to  a  consid- 
erable extent.  Prices  are  steady  and  prac- 
tically unchanged. 

Builders*  Hardware — Demand  for  hard- 
^vare  item's  continues  active,  and  local  job- 
bers and  dealers  expect  an  unusually  busy 
season,  as  there  are  prospects  of  a  tre- 
mendous increase  in  general  construction 
within  the  next  few  months.  The  residen- 
tial building  program  of  1921  was  the  sal- 
vation of  this  industry,  but  from  ail  cur- 
rent accounts  the  business  of  last  season 
■will  be  relatively  small  when  compared 
to  that  scheduled  for  the  coming  season.

A  Positive  Foundation  Upon  Which  to  Build 


The  Federal  Reserve  Board,  in  its  January  bulletin,  declares  that  "the  most  encourag- 
ing feature  of  the  business  situation  is  that  a  positive  foundation  apparently  has  been  estab- 
lished upon  -which  to  build  development  during  1922."  Governor  Harding  believes  that  the 
country  as  a  -whole  has  passed  safely  the  points  of  danger  entailed  in  after-war  deflation. 

One  positive  foundation  upon  -which  real  estate  and  construction  interests  can  eflfec- 
tively  build  their  business  is  regular,  consistent  advertising  in

Experienced  real  estate  men  know  that  5^%  on  a  first  mortgage,

abnormally    higli    rate.     That    is    why   we    suggest   that    guaranteed 
mortgages  be  purchased  now,  for  a  reduction  in  rate  later  in  the

Labor  Must  Share  the  Burden 

When  the  Board  of  Governors  of  the  Building  Trades 
Employers'  Association  formally  rejected  the  proposal  of 
Samuel  Unterniyer  that  the  prevailing  wage  problem  be 
settled  by  entering  into  a  new  contract  with  labor  for  two 
years  from  January  1,  that  the  present  wage  scale  be 
continued  for  the  year  1922;  and  that  the  wage  scale  for 
1923  be  based  on  that  of  1922,  subject  to  decrease  or  in- 
crease in  the  cost  of  living  for  the  year  1922  as  compared 
with  1921,  they  took  the  only  action  possible  if  the  building 
situation  is  to  be  readjusted  upon  a  basis  fair  and  equitable 
to  all. 

Up  to  the  present  time  every  element  in  the  industry, 
with  a  single  glaring  exception,  has  made  concessions,  and 
sacrifices  in  an  effort  to  revive  activity  in  tlie  construction 
held.  Contractors  have  cut  their  profit  margins  to  the 
absolute  minimum  compatible  with  good  business  practice; 
.naterial  manufacturers  have  lowered  prices  by  reducing 
their  labor  costs  and  increasing  their  output;  and  material 
dealers,  in  order  to  stabilize  and  improve  the  building  situ- 
ation, have  absorbed  losses  that  under  ordinary  conditions 
should  have  been  passed  along  to  the  consume'-. 

Organized  building  labor  stands  alone  as  being  unwilling 
to  make  a  reasonable  concession  to  stimulate  construction 
and  relieve  the  housing  shortage  even  when  they  will  be  the 
direct  gainers  through  more  employment  and  lower  living 
costs  because  of  reduced  rentals. 

A  proposition  that  is  favorable  to  one  element  of  the 
building  industry  and  not  to  all  is  not  economically  sound. 
So  that  adequate  housing  may  be  provided  at  moderate 
rentals  everyone  affiliated  with  construction  must  share 
equally  in  the  burden  of  reducing  costs.  Labor  cannot  be 
the  exception  nor  should  it  be.  The  old  agreement  between 
employers  and  employes  expired  on  December  3.1,  1921, 
and  since  then  several  constructive  plans  have  been  pre- 
sented for  drafting  a  new  contract.  None  of  these  have 
been  acceptable  to  labor  now  apparently  insisting  on  having 
its  own  way  or  leaving  the  situation  deadlocked. 

This  attitude  is  manifestly  unfair.  Much  work  is  to  be 
done  if  the  housing  problem  is  to  be  solved  and  labor,  one 
of  the  most  important  factors  in  this  program,  is  holding 
out  for  conditions  tliat  would  give  them  a  decided  advantage 
over  all  other  elements  in  the  industry. 


pears  when  they  have  passed  it  on  to  their  readers. 

"Mr.  Untermyer  Plans  Homes  for  225,000,"  one  head- 
line reads :  "Untermyer  Has  Plan  to  Construct  45,000  New 
Homes  for  $100,000,000,"  is  the  way  another  daily  booms 
tlie  big  news.  All  along  the  line  in  newspaper  offices,  Mr. 
Untermyer's  pronouncement  from  Washington  Heights 
is  treated  with  the  utmost  solemnity.  No  magician  assert- 
ing that  he  could  turn  elephants  into  pink  butterflies  by 
wiggling  his  left  ear  could  possibly  have  inspired  greater 
awe. 

There  is,  of  course,  no  question  but  that  it  would  be  a 
great  thing  if  Mr.  Untermyer  could  build  45,000  new  homes 
for  225,000  people  for  $100,000,000.  In  fact,  that  would  be 
a  fine  thing  for  anybody  to  do.  Maybe  that  is  why  the  news- 
papers suppressed  their  sense  of  humor  for  the  moment  and 
"played  up"  the  idea.  Mr.  Untermyer  stands  ready,  if  the 
newspapers  reflect  his  idea  accurately,  to  do  all  of  these  won- 
derful things  if  some  one  else  will  furnish  the  money,  if 
labor  will  contribute  a  part  of  its  labor  gratis,  and  if  material 
dealers  will  furnish  the  materials  regardless  of  market  con- 
ditions. Under  such  circumstances,  almost  anybody  could 
end  a  housing  crisis  without  the  slightest  difficulty,  and 
have  time  left  over  to  dabble  in  a  dilettante  way  in  the 
struggle  for  justice  of  the  Western  farmer  and  the  sup- 
pression of  the  booze  traffic  along  the  Atlantic  Coast. 

This  latest  idea  of  Chief  Counsel  Untermyer  may  deserve 
well,  but  it  will  be  interesting  to  see  whether  the  other  fel- 
lows come  forward  to  furnish  the  money,  to  do  the  work  for 
less  than  regular  pay,  and  to  furnish  the  materials  for  less 
than  market  prices.  Stranger  things  have  happened,  but 
it  is  very  difficult  to  recall  when  or  where. 


Printers'  Ink  to  the  Rescue 

Editors  of  the  metropolitan  dailies  must  have  misplaced 
their  sense  of  humor,  judging  from  the  very  grave  and 
serious  manner  in  which  they  accord  big  display  heads  and 
front-page  space  to  Mr.  Samuel  Untermyer's  latest  scheme 
for  solving  the  housing  shortage. 

Mr.  Untermyer's  plan  gets  top  position  all  along  the  line, 
no  happening  anywhere  el=e  in  the  world  being  of  sufficient 
importance  to  crowd  it  off  the  first  page  of  the  morning 
dailies.  Newspaper  editors  may  have  winked  at  their  asso- 
ciate'; or  poked  the  office  boy  in  the  ribs  as  thus  they  give 
.such  prominence  to  the  scheme,  but  it  is  to  be  doubted  if 
any  of  them  really  take  the  news  half  as  seriously  as  it  ap- 


Report  of  the  Davenport  Committee 

After  three  years  of  earnest  work,  Senator  Davenport's 
committee  which  has  been  studying  the  tax  laws  of  the 
state  has  filed  its  report  with  the  Legislature.  That  this  in- 
quiry should  have  extended  over  so  long  a  period  causes  sur- 
prise in  some  quarters,  but  the  fact  that  Senator  Davenport 
and  his  associates  gave  so  much  time  to  the  task  may  prove 
in  the  end  of  the  greatest  possible  advantage. 

No  subject  has  so  palpably  needed  careful  attention  at 
Albany  as  revision  of  the  tax  laws.  The  injustice  of  some 
of  these  statutes,  the  inconsistencies,  the  ineffectiveness,  and 
especially  the  absence  of  impartial  enforcement  in  all  sec- 
tions of  the  state,  have  constituted  for  many  years  a  grave 
scandal.  Other  sagacious  leaders  before  Senator  Davenport 
had  taken  up  boldly  the  task  of  improving  this  situation,  but 
it  is  the  unfortunate  fact  that  their  efforts  did  not  meet  with 
marked  success.  A  lot  of  petty  politicians,  with  Assembly 
Districts  as  their  kingdoms,  have  lieen  able  for  years  to  con- 
trol enough  Assemblymen  to  block  any  real  lasting  revision 
of  the  state's  taxation  system.  Former  efforts  for  improved 
conditions  have  met  with  such  poor  support  in  the  Legis- 
lature that  Senator  Davenport  and  his  associates  deserve 
special  credit  for  plunging  into  the  subject  with  so  much 
force  and  determination. 

In  some  respects  the  report  just  made  by  the  Davenport 
Committee  contains  recommendations  more  sweeping  than 


102 


RECORD    AND     GUIDE 


January  28,  1922 


any  submitted  by  former  investigators.  Public  attention 
particularly  will  be  directed  to  the  committee's  proposal  that 
the  Special  Franchise  Taxes  be  abolished.  The  fact  that 
these  levies  were  established  after  a  hot  fight  at  Albany 
led  by  Roosevelt  as  Governor  and  fought  by  the  corpora- 
tions and  the  politicians,  will  cause  the  public  to  look  with 
suspicion  upon  their  repeal.  There  is,  however,  great  force 
and  logic  in  the  Davenport  Committee's  contention  that 
these  special  franchise  valuations,  classified  by  law  as  real 
estate  and  in  many  cases  pledged  in  fixing  the  local  constitu- 
tional debt  limits,  may  be  working  to  the  very  serious  dis- 
advantage of  real  estate  itself. 


Like  every  other  intelligent  body  studying  taxation  in 
this  state,  Senator  Davenport's  Committee  finds  realty  over- 
burdened with  taxation.  That  has  been  the  situation  for 
many  decades.  Various  remedies  have  been  proposed  from 
time  to  time,  but  enough  small-minded  Senators  and  As- 
semblymen to  defeat  real  tax  reform  have  been  sitting  in 
the  Legislature  when  each  new  attempt  has  been  made.  It 
remains  to  be  seen  whether  the  Legislature  of  1922  possess- 
es any  higher  degree  of  intelligence  or  public  spirit.  There- 
in will  lie  the  answer  to  the  question  as  to  .vhether  or  not 
Senator  Davenport  and  his  associates  have  dr.ne  their  three 
vears'  work  in  vain. 


Rent  Cases  Argued  Before  United  States  Supreme  Court 

(Special  to  the  Record  and  Guide) 


Washington,  Jan.  25,   1922. 

THE  rent  law  cases  on  appeal  to  the  United  States  Supreme 
Court  were  argued  today  by  Louis  Marshall,  who  appeared 
for  those  attacking  the  law  on  the  ground  of  its  unconstitu- 
tionality, and  by  W.  D.  Guthrie  and  Julius  Henry  Cohen,  in  defense  of 
it.  Two  cases  were  before  the  Court.  The  first  was  that  of  the  Edgar 
A.  Levy  Leasing  Company  against  Henry  R.  Stern,  which  involved 
the  constitutionality  of  Chapter  944  of  the  laws  of  1920,  providing 
that  in  suits  to  recover  rent  for  premises  used  as  a  dwelling  it 
should  be  a  good  defense  that  the  rent  had  been  increased  over  the 
charge  existing  one  year  before  the  lease,  on  the  ground  that  such 
rent  was  unjust,  unreasonable  and  oppressive.  The  other  case, 
known  as  810  West  End  Avenue,  Inc.,  against  Jerome  Siegel, 
involved  Chapters  942  and  947,  which  prohibited  the  bringing  of 
ejecting  proceedings  and  summary  proceedings  to  recover  possession 
of  dwellings  prior  to  Nov.  1,  1922. 

The  landlords  side  of  the  argument  was  presented  by  Mr. 
Marshall  who  said  the  acts  deprived  the  landlord  of  his  property 
■without  due  process  of  law,  impaired  the  obligation  of  his  contract 
and  denied  him  the  equal  protection  of  the  law.  He  attacked  the 
presumption  created  by  the  act  that  the  lease  was  oppressive  from 
the  mere  fact  of  an  increase  within  one  year.  He  said  that  a  public 
emergency  due  to  housing  conditions  affecting  the  public  welfare  did 
not  in  fact  exist ;  that  the  mere  recital  in  the  act  of  the  existence 
of  such  an  emergency  did  not  create  one,  and  that  even  if  an  emer- 


gency existed,  it  would  not  justify  legislation  in  violation  of  the 
Federal  Constitution. 

Mr.  Guthrie  argued  that  the  Legislature  passed  the  law  after 
three  years  of  exhaustive  examination  by  a  legislative  committee 
and  the  taking  of  50,000  pages  of  testimony. 

Mr.  Guthrie  stated  that  on  Oct.  1,  1920,  100,000  families  in  New 
York  were  served  with  notices  of  eviction. 

Basing  his  argument  on  the  maxim  that  "The  welfare  of  the 
people  is  the  supreme  law,"  Mr.  Guthrie  said  he  conceded  the 
measure  would  be  unconstitutional  if  there  was  no  compelling 
necessity  for  it. 

"But,"  he  added,  "if  there  was  an  emergency  which  really  in- 
volved the  health  and  the  morals  and  the  safety  and  welfare  of 
the  community,  neither  the  contract  clause  nor  the  due  process 
of  law  clause  of  the  Constitution,  within  the  settled  doctrine  of 
this  court,  prevented  the  Legislature  from  affording  the  appropriate 
remedies :  and  the  only  question  before  the  court,  the  only  question 
of  constitutional  law,  was  whether  the  end  was  legitimate ;  whether 
the  purpose  in  the  mind  of  the  Legislature  was  legitimate;  and  if 
so,  then  whether  the  means  adopted  were  reasonably  adapted  to 
remedy  the  public  evil." 

Mr.  Cohen,  in  supporting  the  law,  said  that  the  whole  course  of 
history  showed  the  evils  resulting  from  wholesale  evictions,  and 
that  every  civilized  country  had  found  it  necessary  to  pass  such 
legislation  as  a  result  of  the  war. 


New  Federal  Building  Bill  Favorably  Reported 

(Special  to  the  Record  and  Guide) 


Washington,  January  25, 

A  FAVORABLE  report  on  Representative  Rosedale's 
bill  to  "authorize  the  President  to  appoint  a  Commission 
to  negotiate  the  exchange  of  the  old  Postoffice  site 
below  City  Hall,  New  York,  for  other  property  on  which  a  new 
Federal  building  or  buildings  may  be  erected  to  provide  aconi- 
modations  for  the  postoffice,  the  Federal  courts  and  other 
bureaus  now  housed  in  rented  quarters,  at  a  cost  to  the  National 
Government  of  $800,000  .annually. 

It  is    understood   here   that   President   Harding   will   appoint 
Postmaster  General  Hays,  Secretary  Hoover,  Secretary  Mellon, 


Secretary  Davis,  Attorney  General  Weeks,  and  that  the  New 
York  City  Commission  will  include  Mayor  Hylan  and  Comp- 
troller Craig. 

The  hearing  on  the  bill  was  held  by  the  House  Committee  on 
Public  Buildings  and  Grounds  and  the  favorable  report  was  the 
result  of  unanimous  action  of  the  Committee. 

A  number  of  representatives  of  business  organizations  from 
New  York  appeared,  including  D.  Everest  Wade  of  the  Ameri- 
can Institute  of  Architects,  R.  B.  Ingersoll  of  the  City  Club, 
Henry  Collins  Brown  of  the  Citizens'  Committee,  and  Arthur 
N.  Travers  of  the  Merchants'  Association,  all  of  whom  favored 
the  bill.     There  was   no  opposition.

of  New  York,  to  be  held  at  the  Hotel  Commodore  on  the 
evening  of  February  fourth,  will  be  unusual  to  the  extent 
that  it  will  have  as  its  chief  speakers,  the  governors  of  two 
states.  Governor  Nathan  L.  Miller  of  New  York  and  Governor 
Edward  I,  Edwards  of  New  Jersey  have  both  consented  to  be 
present  and  to  speak.  Governor  Miller's  subject  will  be  the  de- 
velopment of  the  Port  of  New  York.  Governor  Edwards  will 
probably  discuss  the  same  subject,  it  being  a  joint  project  in 
which  both  the  States  of  New  York  and  New  Jersey  are  in- 
terested. 
James  A.  Cattel,  City  Statistician  of  Philadelphia  and  Martin 


W.  Littleton  will  also  address  the  diners.  Mr.  Cattel  runs  to 
humor,  as  those  attending  the  banquet  in  1921  will  recall.  A 
public  official  of  national  prominence  is  expected  to  be  among 
♦  he  speakers,  but  it  cannot  at  present  be  announced  definitely 

Charles  G.  Edwards,  President  of  the  Board,  will  make  a  brief 
address  and  act  as  toastmaster. 

The  Banquet  Committee,  in  addition  to  its  arrangements 
for  the  speakers,  has  prepared  a  program  of  entertainment  that 
will  compare  favorably  with  previous  enorts  along  these  lines. 
The  Committee  is  gratified  with  the  reservations  already  made, 
which  insure  an  attendance  equalling  that  of  1921,  when  the 
diners  numbered  1.450.

Davenport    Committee    Proposes    to    Equalize    Taxes 

Finds  Great  Inequalities  and  Evasion  in  Present  Scheme  of  Taxation  While  All 
National,  State  and  Local  Expenditures  are  Increasing  Rapidly 

(Special  to  the  Record  and  Guide) 


Albany,  Jan.  25.  1922. 

THE;  Coniinittee  on  Taxation  and  Retrenchment,  of  which 
Senator  Frederick  M.  Davenport  is  chairman,  will  make  a 
preliminary  report  of  its  investigations  which  have  been 
almost  continuous  for  the  last  three  years.  This  report  con- 
tains several  recommendations  for  tax  changes  and  points  out 
that  great  inequality  exists  in  the  taxes  imposed  on  some 
classes  of  enterprise  while  others  entirely  escape  taxation. 
The  object  of  the  legislation  which  will  be  asked  for,  according 
to  Senator  Davenport,  will  be  not  to  increase  but  to  equalize 
taxation.  The  committee  has  been  impressed  with  the  fact 
that  expenditures  of  national,  state  and  local  governments 
have  been  increasing  at  an  alarming  rate  during  recent  years. 
"It  is  true  these  additional  expenditures  have,  in  many  in- 
stances," said  Senator  Davenport,  "gone  for  great  public  im- 
provements. The  Committee  believes,  however,  that  expendi- 
tures, even  for  such  objects,  will  have  to  be  watched  closely 
in  order  that  waste  may  be  prevented." 

The  special  franchise  tax.  Senator  Davenport  contends,  should 
be  abolished  as  soon  as  a  constitutional  amendment  can  be 
obtained  for  that  purpose,  and  in  the  meantime  all  other  Stste 
taxes  on  public  utilities  should  be  at  once  abandoned. 

Among  other  outstanding  recommendations  made  are  one 
in  favor  of  wiping  out  the  last  vestige  of  the  personal  property 
tax  and  another  for  the  relief  of  real  estate  by  doing  away  with 
the  direct  tax  for  State  purposes  now  levied  against  realty, 
with  the  substitution  of  business  taxes  on  unincorporated  as 
well  as  corporated  business  earning  annually  above  $5,000  on  a 
basis  of  net  income.  The  committee  calls  attention  to  the  fact 
that  from  one-fifth  to  one-fourth  of  all  the  realty  in  the  State 
is   tax   exempt. 

Co-operation    between    the    State    and    Federal    Governments 
toward  the  elimination  of  exemptions  from  income  tax  of  State 
and  national  bonds  also  is  urged.    A  tax  on  gasoline  and  higher 
motor  vehicle  license  fees  are  recommended. 
The  report  of  the  Committee  follows : 

"Lack  of  attention  to  waste  and  to  vast  extensions  of  ex- 
penditure might  easily  precipitate  a  financial  crisis  in  govern- 
ment of  more  far  reaching  effect  than  financial  crisis  in  indus- 
try. The  total  tax  burden,  Federal,  state  and  local,  is  estimated 
to  be  $106.97  a  man,  woman  and  child  in  the  commonwealth. 

"This  is  an  increase  of  170  per  cent,  in  the  ten  year  period 
between  1910  and  1920.  Half  of  this  burden  is  Federal  and 
most  of  the  remaining  half  is  local.  Only  about  10  per  cent, 
of  the  entire  burden  is  made  necessary  by  the  state  government. 
If  the  state  government  were  entirely  abolished,  the  reduction 
in  per  capita  cost  of  government  is  shown  to  be  only  about 
10  per  cent. 

"The  Committee  is  impressed  with  the  fact  that  burdensome 
taxation  in  some  directions  and  unequal  taxation  in  others  is 
repressing  initiative,  is  alarming  property  holders,  and  is  re- 
tarding progress  in  many  directions. 

"The  inequality  of  the  tax  burden  is  being  felt  alike  by  the 
rent  payer,  the  farmer,  the  home  owner,  the  small  business 
man  and  the  officials  and  stockholders  of  large  and  wealthy 
corporations.  Even  the  rent  payer  does  not  escape  the  burden 
because,  naturally,  landlords  pass  on  whatever  they  can  of  their 


increased  tax  load  to  their  tenants. 

"As  far  as  the  corporations  are  concerned,  the  question  is 
not  one  of  increased  taxation  but  rather  of  unfair  and  unequal 
taxation.  Some  corporations  and  some  classes  of  corporations 
are  being  taxed  out  of  all  proportion  to  the  taxes  levied  against 
other  business  enterprises.  Among  different  classes  of  public 
utility  corporations  some  are  being  taxed  to  the  amount  of  4 
per  cent,  of  their  net  income  and  some  to  the  extent  of  10 
per  cent.  Within  the  same  class  of  corporations  the  present 
method  of  computing  bank  taxes  or  public  utility  taxes,  for 
example,  results  in  very  unequal  burdens. 

Regarding  the  public  utility  taxation  the  report  says  in  part: 

"The  present  system  of  taxing  these  corporations  in  the  State  is  a 
chaos  of  intricacy  and  complexity.  The  statf  of  the  committee  has  re- 
duced these  complicated  taxes  to  a  basis  which  makes  possible  a  com- 
parison with  the  taxes  paid  by  other  business  interests.  The  grossest 
inequalities  come  to  light.  Many  of  the  companies,  particularly  some  of 
the  electric  railway  companies  which  are  bound  by  a  fixed  low  rate  of 
fare,  have  been  literally  taxed  into  bankruptcy.  Based  on  net  income, 
the  business  taxes  on  electric  railways  are  nearly  four  times  as  great  as 
the  corresponding  taxes  on  manufacturing  corporations.  If  local  real 
estate  taxes  are  taken  into  account,  electric  railways  pay  over  38  per 
cent,  of  their  net  income  in  taxes.  This  is  nearly  five  times  the  tax  paid 
altogether  by  manufacturing  companies,  for  example. 

"Not  all  the  public  titilities  are  so  unfavorably  situated,  because  some 
have  been  more  successful  in  their  efforts  to  shift  their  burdens  to  the 
consumer  through  increased  rates.  Every  class  of  public  utility,  however, 
pays  heavier  taxes  than  either  manufacturing  or  financial  institutions. 

"It  is  evident  that  the  State  has  been  using  the  public  utilities  to  a 
considerable  extent  as  tax  collectors,  imposing  upon  them  obligations 
which  in  many  cases  are  justified  only  upon  the  assumption  that  the  extra 
burden  can  be  passed  on  in  higher  charges  to  certain  particular  sections 
of  the  consuming  public.  Some  can  pass  it  and  some  cannot.  In  the 
case  of  those  which  can  pass  it  on.  why  strike  particular  sections  of  the 
consuming  public  with  unfair  burdens  : 

"Completely  satisfactory  adjustment  cannot  be  made  until  the  Con- 
stitution is  changed  so  as  to  make  practical  the  abolition  of  the  so-called 
special    franchise  tax. 

"As  an  immediate  means  of  improvement,  the  committee  recommends 
that  the  entire  series  of  complicated  State  taxes  on  public  utilities  be  at 
once  abandoned,  with  the  exception  of  the  special  franchise  tax,  which 
cannot  be  immediately  abandoned  ;  and  that  in  subsitution  a  'gross  net' 
tax  be  established,  against  which  special  franchise  taxes,  pending  the 
passage  of  the  constitutional  amendment,  may  be  used  as  an  offset.  It  is 
contemplatea  that  the  real  estate  public  utility  corporations,  closely  de- 
fined, shall  continue  to  be  taxed  locally. 

"What  there  is  left  of  personal  property  taxation  consists  In  part  of 
the  stock  in  trade  of  small  business  men  whom  the  committee  now  pro- 
poses to  reach  by  a  more  equitable  method  of  general  business  taxation. 
The  cities  mainly  interested  in  what  remains  of  the  personal  property 
tax  generally  are  Buffalo  and  New  York.  The  committee  proposes  to 
safeguard  their  interest  by  permitting  localities  to  participate  to  a 
reasonable  extent  in  the  proceeds  of  the  taxation  of  those  particular  kinds 
of  business  which  have  never  before  been  reached  in  the  State. 

"The  purpose  of  this  Committee  has  been  to  study  the  most 
important  and  urgent  aspects  of  the  taxation  system  of  New 
York  State  in  a  comprehensive  and  scientific  manner.  It  has 
utilized  all  available  government  data,  both  Federal  and  state, 
bearing  on  the  problem,  and  has  in  addition  conducted  ex- 
tensive statistical  surveys  on  its  own  initiative.  It  will  pro- 
pose some  changes,  the  carrying  out  of  which  must  take  time. 
It  will  also  propose  other  changes  that  can  be  made  at  once, 
and  that,  in  the  Committee's  judgment,  should  be  made  at 
once. 

"The  first  of  the  latter  class  of  changes  has  to  do  with  re- 
lieving real  estate  of  a  portion  of  the  tax  burden  it  is  now  car- 
rying. The  revenue  now  obtained  from  real  estate  must,  in 
part,  be  obtained  elsewhere.  As  the  state's  immediate  contribu- 
tion to  the  relief  of  real  estate  the  Committee  intends  to 
suggest  that  the  state  direct  tax  on  real  property  be  eliminated 
at  the  earliest  practical  moment  in  order  that  a  beginning  may 
be  made  in  easing  the  onerous  burden  now  borne  in  many

John  M.  Stoddard  Outlines  Real  Estate  Brokerage  Law 

Interesting  and  Instructive  Lecture  Given  by  Prominent  Lawyer  Before  Realty 

Class  in  Y.  M.  C.  A.  Educational  Course 

BEFORE  an  audience  comprising  the  Real  Estate  Class  of 
the  educational  course  at  the  West  Side  Y.  M.  C.  A.  on 
Tuesday  evening,  John  M.  Stoddard  delivered  a  lecture 
on  "The  Law  of  Real  Estate  Brokerage."  The  speaker,  who 
was  introduced  by  Alfred  E.  Morling,  is  a  prominent  real  estate 
lawyer  and  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Governors  of  the  New 
York    Real   Estate    Board. 

Mr.  Stoddard  prefaced  his  exposition  of  the  relations  gov- 
erning realty  brokers  with  their  principals  by  calling  attention 
to  the  three  kinds  of  law,  constitutional,  statutory  and  the 
common  or  unwritten  law  which  latter  has  been  defined  as 
"the  embodiment  of  principles  and  rules  inspired  by  natural 
reason  and  an  innate  sense  of  justice,"  and  stressed  its  im- 
portance, and  then  took  up  the  business  of  brokerage.  He 
explained  that  a  broker  to  sell,  must  find  and  produce  to  the 
seller  a  person  financially  able,  ready  and  willing  to  buy,  upon 
the  seller's  terms,  within  the  period  of  his  employment,  and  be- 
fore some  other  broker  or  the  owner  himself  negotiates  the 
sale.  In  short,  he  must  bring  the  buyer  and  seller  to  an  agree- 
ment upon  all  terms.  Failing  to  do  that,  all  of  his  pains  are 
usually  for  naught. 

"The  duty  of  prime  importance,"  continued  Mr.  Stoddard,  "which  a 
broker  owes  to  himself,  before  engaging  in  the  enterprise  of  negotiating 
a  sale  of  real  estate,  is  to  see  to  it  that  he  is  properly  employed  by  the 
person   to   whom   he    proposes   to   look    for    his   commissions.     One   cannot 


usually  recover  for  services  voluntarily  rendered  without  any  employ- 
ment. This  is  such  a  simple  principle  that  it  seems  commonplace.  But 
hundreds  of  cases  have  reached  the  Courts  where  brokers  who  actually 
brought  about  sales  were  deprived  of  commissions  merely  because  they 
were  not  hired  to  perform  the  services  which  they  did  perform  so  well. 

"In  those  cases  where  a  broker  negotiates  a  sale,  and  the  Seller  deter- 
mines to  contest  the  broker's  claim  for  commissions,  on  the  ground  that 
there  was  no  employment  of  the  broker,  the  Seller  usually  pretends 
great  surpri.se  that  a  bill  should  be  presented  to  him,  and  says  that  he 
assumed  all  through  the  negotiation  that  the  broker  was  employed  by 
the  buyer. 

"In  real  estate,  we  know  that  it  is  only  in  rare  instances  that  a 
buyer  is  willing  to  pay  commissions.  Yet  it  does  occasionally  happen — 
just  about  often  enough  to  make  that  pretense  serve  as  a  defense  for 
an  unscrupulous  or  unappreciative  or  ignorant  Seller,  when  he  is  sued 
for  a  commission  by  a  broker  who  has  negotiated  a  sale.  The  Seller 
says.  'I  never  hired  him.  I  assumed  that  he  was  employed  by  the 
purchaser.'  . 

"This  is  the  conventional  defense  which  a  broker  has  to  meet  in 
Court.  In  a  large  percentage  of  the  brokers'  cases  which  get  into  the 
Courts,   the  answer  of  the   defendant   owner   is   that,   'I    never   hired  him.' 

"In  a  case  where  two  ladies  informed  a  broker  that  they  would  like 
to  buy  a  certain  piece  of  property  on  Park  avenue,  in  this  city,  and  such 
broker  had  an  associate  who  knew  the  owner,  a  United  States  Senator, 
resident  in  this  city,  the  broker  arranged  with  his  friend  to  approach 
the  Senator.  The  second  broker  induced  the  Senator  to  enter  into  a 
contract  of  sale  upon  which  the  purchaser  subsequently  defaulted. 
Thereupon  the  broker  brought  suit  and  obtained  a  verdict  in  his  favor, 
but  the  judgment  was  reversed  because  no  employment  was  shown.  The 
Court  said :  ,    ,_        i. 

"  'We  are  of  the  opinion  that  said  verdict  is  not  supporte-1  by  the 
evidence  and  is  against  the  weight  thereof,  in  that  the  plaintiff  has 
failed  to  prove  that  he  was  ever  employed  by  the  defendant  as  a  broker 
to  sell  its  property.  His  negotiations  were  entirely  those  of  a  purchaser. 
He  did  nothing  in  the  interest  of.  or  for  the  benefit  of  the  defendant  ; 
the  property  was  never  put  into  his  hands  for  sale  ;  he  made  the  offers, 
and  he  represented  people  whom  he  continually  spoke  of  as  his  clients." 

"Another  case  of  interest  on  this  point  related  to  a  claimed  com- 
mission for  selling  the  property  at  the  Northwest  corner  of  Broadway 
and  ,'!4th  street.  The  plaintiff  was  a  real  estate  broker.  He  first  called 
upon  a  gentleman  who  became  the  ultimate  purchaser,  and  induced  him 
to  make  an  offer  tor  the  property  to  the  owner's  rental  agent.  The 
owner  was  abroad  at  the  time.  After  the  owner  returned  to  this  country, 
the  plaintiff  and  his  customer.  Smith,  called  on  the  defendant,  and  during 
their  conference  a  bargain  was  struck.  Nothing  whatever  iras  snirl  to 
the  defendnnt  nboiit  plaintilf's  claim  for  a  commission  or  that  he  was 
acting  for  the  defendant  owner.  After  the  contract  of  sale  was  signed, 
plaintiff  sent  a  bill  to  the  owner  which  the  latter  declined  to  pay.  Suit 
was  brought.     The  court  said  : 

"  'It  is  hardly  necessary  to  cite  authorities  to  prove  that  there  must 
he  an  emploiiment  to  entitle  a  broker  to  commission  for  the  sale  of  the 
property;  but  what  was  said  by  Judge  Woodruff  in  Pierce  v.  Thomas  (4 
E.  n.  Smith.  3"i4)  so  concisely  states  the  legal  principle  Involved  that 
the  decision  of  this  case  can  be  rested  upon  his  opinion.     He  says  : 

"  'To  entitle  a  broker  to  recover  commissions  for  effecting  a  sale  of 
real  estate,  it  is  indispensable  that  he  should  show  that  he  was  employed 
by  the  owner  (or  on  his  behalf)  to  make  the  sale.  A  ratification  of  his 
act.  where  original  employment  is  wanting,  may,  in  some  circumstances, 
be  equivalent  to  an  original  retainer,  but  only  where  there  is  a  plain 
intent  to  ratify.  An  owner  cannot  be  enticed  Into  a  liability  for  com- 
missions against  his  will.  A  mere  volunteer  without  authority  is  not 
entitled  to  commissions,  merely  because  he  has  inquired  the  price  which 
an  owner  asks  for  his  property,  and  has  then  sent  a  person  to  him  who 
consents  to  take  it.  A  broker  has  no  better  claim  to  recover  tor  volun- 
tary service,  rendered  without  employment  and  not  received  and  acted 
updn  by  the  owner  as  rendered  in  his  behalf,  than  any  other  volunteer. 
It  is  not  true  that  an  owner  may  not  declare  his  price  to  whom 
he  will  without  the  hazard  of  paying  commissions  to  those  who  volun- 
teer, unasked,  to  send  him  a  purchaser  on  his  own  terms.'  " 

"So,  I  urge  upon  you,"  continued   Mr.  Stoddard,  "don't  do 
any  work  unless  you  are  employed  to  do  it.    Don't  waste  your 


time.  Your  time  and  skill  and  your  willingness  to  venture  them 
in  a  speculation  are  the  only  commodities  that  you  have  to  sell. 
Make  sure  that  your  success  will  be  rewarded  before  you  ente" 
upon  the  speculation. 

"In  a  number  of  cases  where  a  broker  has  been  employed  to 
sell  or  lease  property,  the  courts  have  decided  that  such  em- 
ployment did  not  authorize  the  sub-employment  of  sub-brok- 
ers. The  sub-employment  of  a  sub-broker  may  obligate  the 
broker  to  pay  a  commission  to  the  sub-broker,  but  it  does  not 
fasten  any  liability  upon  the  owner  toward  the  sub-broker. 
The  latter  must  prove  that  the  broker  was  given  authority  to 
employ   a    sub-broker. 

"In  a  case  where  the  owner's  son  was  a  real  estate  broker, 
with  authority  to  negotiate  leases,  and  another  broker  intro- 
duced to  the  son  the  International  Silver  Company  as  a  pros- 
pective tenant  of  a  store  on  Fifth  Avenue,  and  the  Silver 
Company  did  take  the  lease,  the  court  reversed  a  verdict  in 
favor  of  the  bro'<er,  on  the  ground  that  the  son,  although  him- 
self a  real  estate  broker,  and  to  a  large  extent  in  charge  of  his 
mother's   property,  had  no  authority  to  hire  a  sub-broker. 

"So,  also,  where  a  married  woman  has  owned  property,  and 
her  husband  has  listed  it  with  brokers  for  sale,  she  has,  in  many 
instances  escaped  paying  a  brokerage,  because  the  broker  was 
not  able  to  prove  in  court  that  she  had  authorized  her  husband 
to  employ  a  broker.  There  is  no  safe  rule  for  you  to  follow 
except  the  one  of  securing  employment,  or  a  promise  as  to  com- 
missions from  the  owner  himself.  Reliance  upon  anything  else 
involves  too  much  risk." 

Mr.  Stoddard  cited  the   following  examples   of  the  things  in 

which  a  broker  must  use  care  to  protect  his  own  interests: 

"In  a  case  where  a  husband  and  wife  owned  property  together,  and 
the  husband  employed  a  broker  to  bring  about  an  exchange,  and  later 
the  wife,  with  full  knowledge  of  the  facts,  signed  the  deed  with  her 
husband,  the  Court  decided  that  she  had  thereby  ratified  the  hiring  of 
the  broker  and  that  he  was  entitled  to  commissions. 

"In  another  case,  where  an  attorney  at  law  for  the  owner,  without 
authority,  employed  a  broker,  and  the  broker  did  some  work  interest- 
ing an  adjoining  owner,  and  afterwards  the  broker  and  owner  met.  and 
the  broker  then  mentioned  his  negotiations  with  the  adjoining  owner, 
and  then  the  husband  of  the  owner  quietly  stepped  in  and  concluded 
the  sale  to  such  adjoining  owner,  the  Court  decided  that  the  employment 
of  the  broker  by  the  attorney  had  been  ratified,  and  that  the  broker  was 
entitled  to  a   brokerage. 

"It  may  also  be  possible  for  a  broker  to  protect  himself,  under  this 
principle  of  ratification,  even  where  there  has  been  no  original  employ- 
ment by  anybody.  This  can  be  accomplished  by  informing  the  owner, 
before  the  negotiation  is  cnmnl'^ted.  of  what  the  broker  has  done,  and 
obtaining  the  owner's  approval  of  it." 

Other  points  for  a  broker  to  remember  were  described  by 
Mr.  Stoddard  as  follows: 

"The  mere  fact  that  an  owner  employs  a  broker  to  sell  property  does 
not  accord  to  the  broker  an  indefinite  period  in  which  to  consummate 
a  sale.  The  owner  may  terminate  the  employment  and  take  up  the 
negotiations  himself,  or  employ  other  brokers,  or  withdraw  the  property 
from  the  market,   provided  that  he   acts   in   good  faith. 

"In  one  case  which  reached  the  courts  it  appeared  that  the  brokers 
were  employed  in  August  to  sell  2."R  lots,  and  were  promised  by  the 
owner  a  commission  of  $."0  per  lot.  The  brokers  erected  an  office  on  the 
property  and  expended  considerable  of  their  own  money.  There  was  no 
time  limit  in  the  contract  of  employment.  The  brokers  sold  only  two 
lots.  As  a  result,  the  owner  revoked  the  employment  in  the  following 
February,  and  sold  the  entire  plot  in  bulk.  The  brokers  sued  for  com- 
missions or  damages,  but  the  Court  decided  that  the  owner  had  acted  in 
good    faith    and    could    so    terminate   the   contract. 

"On  the  other  hand,  in  another  case,  the  brokers  were  employed  in 
the  middle  of  a  summer,  to  sell  200  lots.  Nothing  was  said  about  time 
limit.  They  expended  considerable  sums  of  money  and  did  sell  8.t  lots. 
In  December,  the  owner  terminated  the  emoloyment,  and  thereupon  tht 
brokers  sued  for  damages.  The  Court  decided  that  the  broker  had  no\ 
been  given  sufficient  time,  and  that  they  were  entitled  to  have  submitted 
to  a   jury   the  quesMon   as  to  the  amount   of  their  daamges. 

'"A  faux  vas  often  made  by  a  broker  in  his  discussions  and  corre- 
spondence with  an  owner  is  to  refer  to  the  orospeclive  purchaser  as  his 
"client."  That  is  usually  fatal  to  his  clf^im  against  the  Seller  for  a 
brokerage,  and  it  always  is  fatal  unless  there  is  a  definite  a*:reement 
with  the  Seller  to  pav  commissions.  The  reason  is  simple.  When  you 
tell  the  Seller  that  the  tirospective  purchaser  is  your  client,  the  Seller 
has  a  right  to  assume  *hat  non  are  ifyorking  for  your  client  and  that 
your  client  is  the  one  who  will  pay  you. 

"It  very  often  happens,"  declared  Mr.  Stoddard,  "that  a 
broker  is  approached  by  some  one  who  wishes  to  buy  or  to  take 
a  lease  of  property  but  who  will  not  pay  a  brokerage.  In  such 
case  the  broker  expects  to  work  in  the  interest  of  the  buyer  nr 
the  lessee,  as  the  case  may  be;  but  also  must  collect  his  com-

How  a  Few  Landlords  Used  Wash  Sales  to  Force  Rentals  Up 

Lockwood  Committee  Gets  Testimony  toSliow  That  Most  of  the  Recent  Landlord 
and  Tenant  Litigation  Was  Instigated  by  Ten  Men 

JOHN  P.  BURNS,  chief  clerk  of  the  Seventh  District  Muni- 
cipal Court,  on  Thursday,  January  19,  gave  the  Joint  Legis- 
lative Committee  on  Housing  the  names  of  ten  landlords  he 
declared  had  instigated  three-quarters  of  the  landlord  and  ten- 
ant cases  in  the  section  from  110th  Street  to  Spuyten  Duyvil 
which  has  a  population  of  600,000.  Mr.  Burns  testified  that 
these  landlords  had  brought  approximately  20,000  suits  in  his 
court  and  that  25,000  tenants  had  deposited  more  than  $1,800,000 
with  the  court  as  a  result  of  these  suits  of  which  $1,350,000 
had  subsequently  been  paid  to  the  landlords.  The  names  of 
the  landlords,  with  the  corporate  names  under  which  they 
brought  the  cases  and  the  approximate  number  begun  by  each, 
follows  : 


Joseph  Schenck,  from  1,500  to  2,000  cases,  using  the  names  of 
the  Ardmore  Estates,  Clason  Finance  Corporation,  Liberal  Fi- 
nance Corporation,  Klamer  Realty  Company,  Penant  Realty 
Company,  Ranger  Realty  Company  and  Joseph  Schenck  Realty 
and  Construction  Company. 

Newmark  and  Jacobs,  1,000  cases,  operating  as  the  Alabama 
Holding  Company,  Ashton  Holding  Company,  Kentucky  Hold- 
ing Company  and  Broadway  and  146th  Street  Holding  Com- 
pany. 

Charles  Moore,  from  2,000  to  3,000  cases,  operating  under  the 
names  of  Morris  Moore's  Sons,  Inc.,  Anmore  Realty  Company, 
Traymore  Leasing  Company,  Tri-Borough  Investment  Com- 
pany, St.  James  Apartment,  James  Rensellaer,  Inc.,  Carl  Silver- 
man and  Clara  Bauer. 

Corporation  of  H.  and  A.  Cohen,  1,000  cases. 

F.  A.  Ottenberg,  1,000  cases,  operating  as  Blanche  O.  Fos- 
ter, Rauchen  Rauncheim. 

David  H.  Van  Damm,  2,000  cases,  operating  as  Bendheim

Realty  Corporation. 

Mrs.  Nellie  Roach,  500  cases,  operated  as  Roach  Leasing 
Company,  Arabella  Realty  Company. 

Fifty  Per  Cent.  Profit  Sharing  Company,  500  cases. 

Philip  A.  Payton,  Jr.  &  Co.,  300  cases,  operating  as  Payton 
Apartments.  Inc.,  and  W.  A.  Wortham.  400  Manhattan  Avenue 
Corporation,  700  cases. 

Burns  said  that  the  figures  he  gave  were  estimated  and  he 
was  asked  to  have  drawn  from  the  books  the  exact  number  of 
cases  in  which  the  ten  persons  mentioned  began  rent  suits. 

William  H.  Wortham  of  130  W.  142d  Street,  head  of  the 
Philip  A.  Payton  agency,  called  to  the  stand  by  Samuel  Unter- 
myer,  counsel  to  the  Committee,  testified  that  he  was  in  busi- 
ness with  his  wife  in  the  negro  section  of  Harlem.  He  said 
he  had  brought  200  actions  for  increase  of  rent  and  300  for 
dispossesses.  He  gave  the  real  estate  holdings  of  his  wife, 
including  9  West  137th  Street,  65  and  67  West  134th  Street  and 
28  West  134th  Street.  The  Payton  Apartments,  Inc.,  owns 
six  apartment  houses  in  West  141st  and  142d  Street.  The  wit- 
ness was  unable  to  answer  many  questions  put  to  him  by 
Mr.  Untermyer.  pleading  he  could  not  remember  all  the  trans- 
actions.   He  will  be  recalled. 

On  Friday,  January  21,  Joseph  Schenck  was  called  to  the 
stand.  He  testified  that  he  is  head  of  the  Schenck  Realty  and 
Construction  Corporation,  which  has  never  built  a  house,  but 
has  bought  from  300  to  400  houses  in  the  past  five  years.  His 
place  of  business   is  at  552  Riverside  Drive. 

A  year  ago,  Schenck  testified  he  sold  sixty  apartment  houses 
to  the  Ardsmore  Estate.  The  transfer  involved  $8,000,000 
worth  of  property  and  he  received  $250,000  in  cash  and  .$200,000 
in  preferred  stock  in  the  Ardsmore  Estate  and  a  blanket  mort- 
gage. He  denied  that  he  was  in  any  way  interested  in  the  Lib- 
eral Finance  Corporation,  but  under  cross-examination  he  ad- 


mitted that  the  Liberal  Finance  Corporation  was  controlled  by 
Barnett  Klahr  of  Brooklyn,  co-owner  with  Schenck  of  the 
Ardsmore  Estate.  He  also  said  the  only  property  of  the  Liberal 
Finance  Corporation  consisted  of  two  apartment  houses  sold  to 
it  by  the  Ardsmore  Estate,  which  got  them  from  Schenck,  who 
bought  them  in  1919  for  $375,000. 

Schenck  said  that  much  of  the  $250,000  in  cash  paid  into 
the  Schenck  Company  by  the  Ardsmore  Estate,  went  to  the 
Liberal  Finance  Corporation.  He  was  asked  who  collected 
for  the  Schenck   Company.     "Schenck,"  he   replied. 

Q. — And   the  Pennant   Co.   collects   for  the   Ardsmore   Estate?     A. — Yes. 

Q- — And   the  Pennant   Co.    is   Mr.    Shenk?     A. — That's   right. 

Schenck  testified  that  the  Pennant  Company  was  a  name 
used  by  him  to  avoid  keeping  an  agreement  with  the  owner  of 
a  house  he  leased  at  Broadway  and  168th  Street  to  whom  he 
promised  to  reveal  the  rents  he  was  receiving.  He  renewed 
the  lease  in  1919  for  $30,000  a  year,  an  increase  of  $8,000,  and  is 
now  collecting  in  rents  from  $55,000  to  $56,000.  He  testified 
that  he  had  increased  the  rents  twice  in  that  house.  He  changed 
this  to  say  that  he  had  increased  the  rents  twice  since  the  lease 
was  renewed  by  him. 

Schenck  testified  that  the  Klasco  Company  was  controlled 
by  Klahr,  his  associate  in  other  business.  He  admitted  that 
he  had  been  bound  over  for  trial  on  a  charge  of  failing  to  pro- 
vide sufficient  heat  and  had  served  six  months  on  Blackwell's 
Island  for  renting  apartments  to  disorderly  persons. 

Tenants  of  200  Claremont  Avenue,  owned  by  Schenck,  had 
given  the  Committee  figures  which  were  shown  to  him  after 
which  he  admitted  that  the  increase  in  rent  demanded  of  ten- 
ants were  as  high  as  83  per  cent,  and  that  some  of  the  tenants 
had  paid  increases  of  25  per  cent,  to  the  previous  owner, 
making  total  increases  of  108  per  cent. 

The  records  produced  showed  that  in  one  apartment  a  tenant 
named  Mauriqe,  paying  $62.50,  is  being  asked  to  pay  $110. 
Other  increases  sought  are  from  $65  to  $110,  $75  to  $125  and 
$81.25  to  $125. 

Schenck  said  he  had  2,379  tenants  and  had  taken  300  cases  to 
court.  He  denied  that  he  furnished  cash  for  the  sale  of  the 
houses  to  other  concerns  so  that  he  could  legally  raise  the 
rents.  He  asserted  his  only  revenue  was  a  3  per  cent,  commis- 
sion on  his  collections. 

Schenck  admitted  that  he  was  being  sued  for  the  return  of 
$16  a  month  rent  in  excess  of  the  amount  permitted  by  the  court 
in  the  case  of  a  tenant  at  200  Claremont  Avenue,  whose  rent 
was  $84. 

The  Committee's  examination  into  the  affairs  of  1,690  Broad- 
way indicated  a  maze  of  transactions  involving  several  trans- 
fers, new  leases  and  the  return  of  the  property  to  Schenck  and 
the  transfer  again  to  the  Newton  estate,  which  now  owns  it. 
Schenck  owns  40  per  cent,  of  the  stock  of  the  Newton  estate, 
and  Klahr,  his  associate  in  other  enterprises,  owns  60  per 
cent. 

Watt  Terry,  a  negro,  head  of  the  Terry  Holding  Company, 
owner  of  properties  in  the  negro  section  of  Harlem,  testified  as 
to  the  Fifty  Per  Cent.  Profit  Sharing  Corporation,  which  he 
controls.  Stock  of  this  corporation  had  been  sold  to  colored 
people. 

Mr.  Untermyer  produced  an  official  court  summons  in  the 
case  of  Cyrus  Trent,  a  tenant  of  Terry's,  which  showed  that 
Terry  had  demanded  an  increase  in  rent  of  from  $40  to  $84. 
Terry  testified  his  lawyer  had  probably  demanded  $84  in  order 
to  fix  a  basis  for  adjustment. 

Charles  Moore  of  29  East  124th  Street  described  his  interest 
in  Morris  Moore's  Sons,  Inc.,  the  Anmore  Realty  Co.,  Tray- 
more Leasing  Corporation,  the  Tri-Borough  Investment  Com- 
pany, James  Rennsellaer  and  Charles  Silverman.  He  denied 
he  had  instigated  2,000  cases  in  the  Seventh  District  Court  and 
said  he   controlled  only  700  apartments.

Construction   Started   on   Large   West   Side  Apartment 

S.  W.  Straus  &  Co.  Underwrites  Mortgage  for  Nine-Story  Project  Being  Erected 
from  Plans  by  Scliwartz  &  Gross,  Architects 

WITHIN  a  short  time  actual  construction  will  be  started       conditions  of  the  building  industry,"  said  Mr.  S.  W.  Straus  in 
on  a  new  nine-story  fireproof  apartment  house  to  be       discussing  the  building  outlook,  "and  it  is  expected  that  activ- 
located  in   the   north  side   of  West  71st   Street  about       ities   during  the  ensuing  year  will  be  on   a  very   heavy  scale. 
midway  between  Columbus  Avenue  and  Broadway.    This  struc-       There   is   a   healthy   inquiry  for   capital   for   building   purposes, 

ture,  which  will  be  erected  from  plans   and   specifications   by 

Schwartz  &  Gross,  will  be  owned  by  the  141  West  Seventy- 
first  Street  Company,  Jacob  S.  Kahn,  president.  The  building 
will  occupy  a  plot  with  a  frontage  of  100  feet  by  102  feet  in 
depth  and  will  involve  a  number  of  unusual  labor  saving  fea- 
tures. 

S.  W.  Straus  &  Co.  have  underwritten  a  first  mortgage  seven 
per  cent,  serial  bond  issue  of  $550,000  on  this  project.  It  is 
expected  that  the  structure  will  be  completed  and  ready  for 
occupancy  by  October  1,  1922.  A  valuation  of  $800,000  has  been 
placed  on  both  the  land  the  building  and  the  net  annual  earn- 
ings are   estimated  at  appro.ximately  $78,000. 

This  new  multi-family  building  will  occupy  lots  139  to  147 
West  71st  Street  and  will  contain  sixty-three  housekeeping  units 
of  three  and  four  rooms,  each  with  bath,  with  a  pent  house 
on  the  roof  in  which  quarters  for  servants  will  be  located. 
The  apartments  will  each  have  a  large  living  room,  one  or 
two  bed  rooms  and  a  combination  kitchen  and  breakfast  room. 

S.  W.  Straus  &  Co.  announce  that  they  have  recently  under- 
written first  mortgage  serial  bond  issues  amounting  to  $12,485,- 
000.  The  list  includes  two  large  apartment  house  projects  in 
Manhattan,  $2,250,000;  one  apartment  in  the  Bronx,  $1,300,000; 
a  Brooklyn  multi-family  structure,  $210,000;  an  apartment  in 
Chicago,  $1,000,000;  one  in  Detroit,  $1,250,000;  an  apartment 
hotel  in  Omaha,  $550,000  and  others  in  San  Francisco,  Wilming-

a  manufacturing  plant  in  Chicago  and  an  office  building  pro- 
ject in  Dallas,  Texas.

tures."

(Continued  from  page  104) 
pensation  from  the  owner.  There  is  just  one  way  that  he  can 
accomplish  his  purpose,  and  treat  both  parties  honorably. 
That  is,  by  making  a  full  disclosure  to  the  owner,  and  securing 
from  the  owner  a  promise  to  pay  commissions  notwithstanding 
the  situation. 

"Unless  a  broker  has  announced  to  the  owner  that  he  is 
working  in  the  interest  of  the  buyer  and  has  secured  the  prom- 
ise of  the  owner  to  pay  commissions  notwithstanding  that 
fact,  it  is  the  duty  of  the  broker  to  act  in  the  sole  interest  of 
the  owner.  The  man  who  pays  for  the  services  and  negotia- 
tions of  the  broker  is  entitled  to  all  that  the  broker  can  do  for 
him. 

"Frequently,  a  broker  learns  that  a  parcel  of  real  estate  can 
be  purchased  at  such  a  price  that  he  is  disposed  to  participate 
in  the  purchase  himself.  In  such  cases,  it  is  imperative  that  he 
disclose  to  the  owner  that  he  is  the  purchaser  or  interested  in 
the  purchase,  and  obtain  from  the  owner  a  consent  to  the 
changed  conditions.  Otherwise,  he  not  only  loses  his  commis- 
sions, and  is  guilty  of  fraud,  but  also  he  will  be  charged  as 
holding  the  property  in  trust  for  the  seller,  so  that  if  any  profit 
eventually  results,  he  will  be  obliged  to  pay  it  over  to  the 
owner.  Those  are  the  penalties.  Besides,  any  such  business  is 
not  honest.  There  is  plenty  of  opportunity  to  make  a  fortune 
in  real  estate  brokerage,  while  adhering  strictly  to  the  line 
of  honorable  dealing." 

Mr.  Stoddard  concluded  by  giving  the  following  interesting 
examples  of  a  broker's  experiences: 

"In  a  case  where  a  broker  so  handled  an  exchang:e  transaction  that  he 
himself  obtained  some  of  the  property  conveyed  by  his  principal,  the 
Court  characterized  the  entire  transaction  as  fraudulent,  and  gave  back 
such  property  to  the  owner  and  in  a  case  where  a  broker's  clerk  became 
the  purchaser,  he  was  required  to  account  to  the  Seller  for  all  the 
proceeds  of  his  resales. 


third  party  at  a  stated  price,  and  where  upon  the  closing  the  broker 
himself  took  the  title,  the  Court  upset  the  transaction  and  compelled  the 
broker  to  restore  the  property. 

"In  another  case  where  a  broker  upon  receiving  an  inquiry  by  a 
prospective  purchaser  in  respect  to  a  piece  of  property,  went  to  the 
owner  and  advised  that  its  value  was  .$42,000  and  persuaded  the  owner 
to  sell  at  that  figure,  and  it  later  developed  that  the  broker  was  inter- 
ested to  the  extent  of  one-half  in  the  purchase,  it  was  held  that  the 
Broker  and  his  associate  were  liable  for  all  of  the  enhancement  in  value 
down  to  the  time  of  the  trial,  to  wit.  $18,000." 

"You  gentlemen  have  chosen  an  honorable  calling,"  said 
Mr.  Stoddard.  "That  is,  it  is  honorable  if  you  make  it  so. 
Sometimes  you  will  be  thrown  in  contact  with  unscrupulous 
clients  and  unscrupulous  competitors.  If  you  sink  to  their 
level,  you  may  obtain  one  commission  or  a  few  commissions, 
but  sooner  or  later  you  will  be  classed  as  a  trickster,  and 
treated  accordingly. 

"Yoiir  profession  is  one  in  which  a  good  will  can  be  created. 
You  meet  many  people.  The  majority  of  them  are  looking  for 
an  honest  man  with  whom  they  can  trade,  and  to  whom  they 
may  give  their  confidence.  In  10  or  15  years'  experience  you 
can  capitalize  that.  Look  around  this  town.  Is  not  the  im- 
portant business,  are  not  the  most  important  holdings  within 
the  control  of  the  old  reliable  firms  of  real  estate  brokers? 
The  position  which  they  now  occupy  is  the  one  that  you  should 
fill  when  you  reach  the  prime  of  life.  That  is  the  goal  for 
which  you  should  aim.  Any  transitory  profit  is  of  no  conse- 
quence compared  with  it,  especially  if  accompanied  with  any 
species  of  disloyal  effort. 

"My  advice  to  you  is:  First:  That  you  be  sure,  before  en- 
tering upon  any  enterprise,  that  you  are  promised  by  somebody 
that  the  success  of  your  efTorts  will  be  suitably  rewarded. 
Second:  That  you  stick  to  the  negotiation  until  it  is  con- 
cluded. Third :  That  you  devote  your  time,  skill  and  honor- 
able efforts  in  behalf  of  the  persons  from  whom  you   expect 


"in   another   case  where   a   broker   advised   a   contract   of   sale  with    a       your  recompense.

Review  of  Real  Estate  Market  for   the   Current  Week 

Fifth  Avenue  and  34th  Street  Corner  Set  a  High  Notch  for  the  Week's  Dealing, 
While  Other  Good  Sales  Added  Strong  Features 


MAl'tKING  the  high-water  line  of  ihe  week,  as  well  as  ot 
the  year,  so  far,  in  real  estate  dealing  is  the  transaction 
about  to  be  closed  by  jNIax  Natanson  whereby  he  disposes 
of  the  14-story  Columbia  Trust  building,  on  a  plot  61.9x100,  at  the 
northwest  corner  of  Fifth  Avenue  and  34th  Street.  It  is  one 
of  the  premier  individual  transactions  of  the  city.  This  build- 
ing was  originally  only  four  stories  in  height  and  was  built  by 
the  Knickerbocker  Trust  Company  and  superseded,  on  the  site, 
the  historic  mansion  of  Alexander  T.  Stewart.  The  seller  en- 
larged it  only  a  few  years  ago  and  it  is  looked  upon  as  one  of 
the  fine  investment  properties  of  the  city.  Mr.  Natanson  must 
have  had  a  tempting  ofTer  to  part  with  it.  Giving  the  market 
a  New  Year's  surprise,  as  he  has  by  this  sale,  it  is  to  be  re- 
membered that  he  gave  it  a  Christmastide  surprise  a  few  weeks 
ago  by  the  purchase  and  quick  resale  of  the  Belnord  apartment 
house  that  covers  a  square  block  on  upper  Broadway.  The 
buyer  of  the  Fifth  Avenue  corner  has  not  yet  been  announced, 
but  it  very  likely  will  be  soon.  It  is  to  be  recalled  that  about  a 
year  ago  Mr.  Natanson  resold  to  William  Ziegler  the  tall  build- 
ing, known  as  the  structural  splinter,  at  the  southeast  corner  of 
Broadway  and  Wall  Street. 

Less  prominent,  but  nevertheless  important,  was  the  sale  of 
one  building  and  the  leasing  of  another  one,  this  week,  in  the 
Broadway  part  of  the  Pennsylvania  zone.  The  parcel  sold  was 
in  the  ownership  of  one  family  for  four  generations,  a  period 


of  time  and  less  when  Broadway  north  of  Fourteenth  Street 
evoluted  from  open  country  to  the  world's  greatest  commercial 
thoroughfare.  Another  sale  of  more  than  ordinary  moment 
was  that  of  the  Abyssinian  Baptist  Church  property  on  West 
40th  Street,  between  Seventh  and  Eighth  Avenues.  Situated  as 
the  latter  parcel  is,  in  the  new  garment  center,  the  church  edi- 
fice will  in  all  probability  make  way  for  an  immense  loft 
building  for  occupancy  by  cloak  and  suit  manufacturers. 

Of  marked  contemporary  interest,  in  this  era  of  projected 
port  improvements,  was  the  sale  by  certain  heirs  of  the  Rhine- 
lander  family  of  Piers  16  and  18,  at  the  foot  of  Barclay  Street 
and  the  foot  of  Murray  Street,  respectively,  to  a  private  pur- 
chaser. Both  piers  are  well  leased.  The  city  usually  makes  it 
a  point  to  acquire  any  private  waterfront  in  Manhattan  that 
is  offered  for  sale,  but  the  sale  alluded  to  seems  to  be  the  ex- 
ception that  proves  the  rule. 

Other  sales  of  importance  were  several  Madison  Avenue  par- 
cels;  the  Elmore  Court  and  El  Casco  apartment  house  in  Har- 
lem; numerous  small  business  properties  throughout  the  city; 
and  numerous  newly  completed  apartment  houses  in  the 
Bronx  and  some,  there,  that  are  not  yet  completed,  but  the 
floor  plans  of  which  satisfied  the  buyers  they  were  worth  own- 
ing. The  sale  of  vacant  plots  in  the  northerly  borough  is  not 
as  frequent  as  it  was  two  weeks  ago,  but  renewed  activity  is 
expected  at  any  time.

chant prince  of  early  New  York.  It  was  later

which  was  later  improved  by  the  buyers.

Operator  in  East  Side  Sale 

Samuel  Brener,  operator,  purchased  from 
Vanderbilt  Webb  the  five  4-5ty  and  basement 
dwellings  127  to  1.35  East  63d  st,  on  a  plot  lOOx 
1(10.5.  between  Park  and  Lexington  avs,  on  a 
plot  80x100.5.  The  property  was  acquired  along 
with  a  number  of  other  parcels  on  Park  av  and 
adjacent  side  streets  before  the  New  York  Cen- 
tral Railroad  electrified  its  road.  William  J. 
Roome  &  Co.  were  the  brokers  in  the  transaction. 

On  the  Park  av  end  of  the  block  the  Third 
Church  of  Christ,  Scientist,  is  erecting  an  orna- 
mental structure  on  the  63d  st  corner,  while  on 
the  adjoining  Park  av  and  64th  st  corner  is  the 
new  home  of  tbe  Fifth  Avenue  Baptist  Church. 


A    New    West    Side   Building 

The  ever  increasing  demand  for  space  in 
modern  buildings  with  heavy  floor  capacity  is 
one  of  the  reasons  for  the  erection  of  the  new 
S-sty  Kymson  building,  at  313-327  West  37th 
st,  which  is  now  under  construction  and  will 
be  ready  for  occpancy  in  May,  according  to 
Samuel  Minskoff  the  builder.  Concerns  desir- 
ing to  remain  in  the  section  north  of  23d  st 
and  requiring  a  floor  capacity  of  over  200 
pounds  per  square  foot  have  been  practically 
forced  to  move  their  plants  and  operations  to 
the  extreme  east  or  west  sides  of  the  city.  The 
majority  of  present  buildings  north  of  23d  st 
and  adjacent  to  main  arteries  of  the  city,  being 
built  for  the  express  purpose  of  office,  light 
manufacturing  and  garment  concerns,  have  not 
been  able  to  accommodate  manufacturers  of 
commodities  necessitating  heavy   floors. 

.Jacob  Monsky.  president  of  the  Herald 
Square  Press,  realizing  this  situation  and  hav- 
ing the  fact  brought  home  to  him  in  his  own 
business,  conceived  the  idea  of  relieving  this 
condition  somewhat  by  the  erection  of  the  Kym- 
son Building.  Consequently  heavy  floors,  good 
light  and  fire  proof  construction  are  facts  whtL.i 
are  sure  to  be  of  interest  to  many  concerns. 
The  building  has  been  designed  by  Schwartz 
&  Gross  the  architects  and  Price.  Birkner  & 
Johnston  have  been  appointed  as  managing 
agents. 


Elmore  Court  In  a  Trade 

Elmore  Court,  a  e-sty  elevator  apartment 
house.  lO.SxlOl.  at  541  West  124th  st,  figured 
in  a  three  cornered  deal.  The  property,  which 
was  held  at  $235,000,  was  sold  by  Joseph  M. 
Ximhauser  for  Joseph  G.  Abraham,  who  was 
represented  by  the  Lloyd  Winthrop  Co.  The 
purchasers  were  Isidor  and  Philip  Baer,  who 
gave  in  part  payment  the  5-sty.  triple  flat,  130 
Edgecombe   av,  25x112,   held   at   $42,500. 

In  further  payment  the  purchasers  gave 
two  second  mortgages,  amounting  to  .$40,250,  on 
the  premises  at  75  to  83  Northern  av.  As 
part  of  the  transaction,  the  parcels  given  in 
trade  were  all  sold  by  the  Lloyd  Winthrop  Co. 
to  a  client.  This  is  the  second  three  cor- 
nered deal  effected  in  less  than  a  year  by 
Joseph   Nimhauser   for   the   Mes&rs.    Baer. 


Tenants  Were  the  Buyers 

Charles  F.  Noves  Co.  were  the  brokers  who 
sold  277  Pearl  st  to  Clinton  K.  Scofield  :  109-111 
Beekman  st  to  A.  W.  Craven,  and  a  plot,  3o.0x 
100,  on  Atlantic  av,  adjoining  the  southwest  cor- 
ner of  Kingston  av,  Brooklyn,  to  Charles  H. 
Eggert  &  Bros.  Title  to  all  these  properties  was 
transferred  within  the  past  few  days  and  all 
purchasers  are  present  tenants  of  the  premises 
sold.  The  Noyes  company  reports  a  strong 
demand  for  investment  properties  and  properties 
suitable  for  occupancy. 

N.  Y.  Times  Leases  Stores 

Theodore  C.  Young  leased  to  the  New  York 
Times  Co.  the  stores  in  213-215  West  4.3d  st.

building.  The  Times  occupies  adjoining  stores,

Annex  on  the  west,  are  five  S-sty  brick  and 
stone  apartment  houses,  on  a  plot  100x100.5. 
which  The  New  York  Times  Co.  owns  and 
which  it  will  soon  reimprove  with  an  addition 
to  its  building  that  will  be  of  equal  height  to  it. 
The  Times  is  now  using  parts  of  the  old 
buildings  it  owns  for  some  of  its  departments.

Employers    Reject    Untermyer's    Wage    Scale   Proposal 

Board  of  Governors  Hold  Plan  of  Lockwood  Committee  Counsel  Discriminates 
Against  All  Other  Elements  in  Industry  in  Favor  of  Labor 

wage  question  is  necessary  to  the  making  of  agreements  with 
the  building  trades  unions. 

"We  have  not  charged  that  the  entire  membership  of  any 
union  has  been  guilty  of  shirking.  The  consideration  given 
by  the  union  in  return  for  the  wages  paid  is  a  fair  day's  work 
by  its  members,  and  to  enter  into  arbitration  before  a 
numerous  board  upon  the  question  of  whether  the  consideration 
has  not  been  or  is  not  being  given  by  the  union  would  mean 
continuous  arbitration  as  to  the  performaricc  of  the  contract, 
which  would  be  a  cumbersome  proceeding. 

"The  Building  Trades  Employers'  Association  has  for  seven- 
teen years  enforced  an  arbitration  policy.  The  unions  have 
for  all  that  time  assented  to  arbitration.  We  now  feel  that,  in 
fairness  to  our  members,  the  public  should  not  only  be  a  party 
to  the  arbitration  but  should  sit  in  all  negotiations  and  par- 
ticipate in  the  settlement  of  all  questions. 

"We  have  fully  advised  the  unions  of  our  wishes." 

A  special  committee  headed  by  Walter  Stabler  recently  at- 
tempted to  use  its  influence  in  an  effort  to  settle  the  matter  of 
wage  scales  and  trade  abuses  without  further  delay  and  sub- 
mitted a  program  of  procedure,  that  was  accepted  by  the  em- 
ployers, but  turned  down  by  the  labor  representatives. 

The  letter  of  the  Building  Trades'  Council  to  Mr.  Stabler, 
rejecting  the  proposition  of  his  Committee  said  in  part: 

"Your  letter  of  January  16,  addressed  to  Mr.  Patrick  Crowley, 
President  Building  Trades'  Council  has  been  received  and 
considered  by  the  Council  Executive  Committee  and  the  Coun- 
cil. Your  letter  proposes  that  a  committee  of  five  from  the 
parties  you  represent  be  present  at  a  meeting  between  repre- 
sentatives of  the  Building  Trades  Employers'  Association  and 
the  Building  Trades  Council  in  order  to  assist  in  the  selection 
of  another  committee  of  citizens,  this  committee  to  be  present 
and  participate  in  negotiations  for  a  settlement  of  the  agree- 
ment for  1922  or  longer. 

"In  a  former  letter  to  Mr.  Robert  D.  Kohn,  we  stated  that 
the  Council  had  accepted  a  proposal  made  by  Mr.  Samuel 
Untermyer  as  a  solution  of  existing  differences.  We  can  only 
reiterate  that  the  Council  still  believes  that  nothing  beetter 
than  the  proposal  made  by  Mr.  Untermyer  has  been  suggested 
by  any  one.  Coming  as  it  does  from  the  Council  for  the 
Lockwood  Committee  a  Legislative  Committee  which  had  made 
an  exhaustive  investigation  of  building  conditions — it  eman- 
ates from  that  representative  of  the  public  best  qualified  to 
speak  in  the  public  interest  and  because  of  that  must  carry 
with  it  the  approval  of  the  public.  There  is  nothing  sinister  or 
hurtful  about  it  to  any  one  and  to  the  building  trades  workers 
it  seems  to  be  a  fair  and  square  solution  of  the  question  at 
issue. 

"We  do  not  want  to  appear  discourteous  to  the  gentlemen 
you  represent  but  we  are  responsible  to  the  men  we  represent 
and  to  the  public  and  we  must  discharge  that  responsibility  in 
a  manner  that  will  conform  to  the  wishes  of  those  men  and  the 
public.  The  organizations  seated  in  the  Council  have  decided 
in  favor  of  the  Untermyer  plan  and  if  the  Building  Trades  Em- 
ployers' Association  does  likewise  meetings  between  the  two 
bodies  need  only  consider  details  and  therefore  the  presence 
of  a  third  party  would  hardly  be  necessary.  If  however  the 
Employers'  Association  deems  the  presence  of  a  third  party 
necessary  or  if  the  Lockwood  Committee  feels  that  it  can  pro- 
(Conchided  on  page  116) 


AT  a  special  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Governors  of  the 
Building  Trades  Employers'  Association  held  Wednes- 
day afternoon  further  consideration  was  given  to  the 
proposal  recently  made  by  Samuel  Untermyer,  special  counsel 
to  the  Lockwood  Joint  Legislative  Committee.  This  proposi- 
tion provided  that  a  new  contract  for  two  year  from  January  1, 
be  entered  into  between  the  employers  and  the  Building  Trades 
Council;  that  the  present  scale  of  wages  be  continued  for  the 
year  1922:  and  that  the  wage  scale  for  1923  be  based  on  that 
of  1922,  subject  to  decrease  or  increase  in  the  cost  of  living  for 
the  year  1922  as  compared  with  1921. 

After  all  of  the  trade  organizations  affiliated  with  the  Build- 
ing Trades  Employers'  Association  had  met  for  a  careful  con- 
sideration of  this  proposal  their  conclusions  were  reported  to 
the  Board  of  Governors  and  the  Board,  acting  in  accordance 
with  the  expressed  will  of  the  entire  membership,  wrote  a 
letter  to  Mr.  Untermyer  rejecting  his  proposal.  This  letter

"Your  proposition,  that  a  new  contract  be  now  made  for  two 
years  from  January  1st  by  and  between  the  Building  Trades 
Employers'  Association  and  the  Building  Trades  Council,  that 
the  present  wage  scale  be  continued  for  the  year  1922,  and  that 
the  wage  scale  for  1923  be  based  on  that  of  1922,  subject  to  de- 
crease or  increase  in  the  cost  of  living  for  the  year  1922  as 
compared  with  1921,  provided  that  the  continuance  of  the 
present  wage  scale  and  the  amount  of  the  wage  scale  for  1923 
be  condition,  as  to  the  wages  of  $1.00  per  day  for  each  member 
of  the  unions,  upon  the  efficiency  of  each  union  separately  con- 
sidered, efficiency  to  be  determined  by  an  arbitration  board  of 
seven  members,  has  been  considered  by  the  trade  associations, 
comprising  the  Building  Trades   Employers'  Association. 

"These  trade  associations  have  reported  their  conclusions  to 
the  Board  of  Governors,  and  the  Board,  acting  in  accordance 
with  the  expressed  will  of  the  entire  membership,  has  rejected 
your  proposal. 

"The  present  wage  scale  has  been  repeatedy  condemned  by 
the  public.  Its  continuance  without  a  fair  hearing  of  all  the 
facts  relating  thereto  by  the  representatives  of  the  public  would 
be  unfair  to  the  public  and  to  the  nine  hundred  members  of 
the  Building  Trades  Employers'  Association  who  are  dependent 
upon  the  patronage  of  the  public  for  a  living. 

"Housing  is  one  of  the  principal  items  of  expenditure  con- 
sidered in  computing  the  cost  of  living.  Our  investigation  con- 
clusively shows  that  the  peak  in  rental  values  has  been  passed 
and  that  the  trend  is  now  downward.  The  items  of  cost  of 
housing  construction,  other  than  labor,  have  been  greatly  re- 
duced. The  prices  of  all  materials  have  been  reduced  and  the 
wages  of  all  those  employed  in  the  manufacture  of  housing 
materials  already  have  been  reduced.  You  now  propose  that 
the  labor  employed  on  housing  construction,  which  up  to  the 
present  suffered  no  reduction  from  war  time  wages,  shall  not 
only  be  exempted  from  a  reduction  during  the  whole  year  of 
1922,  but  its  wages  for  1923  shall  not  be  reduced  unless  addi- 
tional reductions  shall  be  made  in  all  of  the  other  items  enter- 
ing into  the  cost  of  living,  which  must  mean  a  still  further 
reduction  in  wages  of  all  other  lines  except  the  building  line. 
It  seems  to  us  that  the  building  trades  unions  would  not  ask 
for  more.

New  York  State  Builders  Meet  in  Albany  Next  Week 

Constructive  Program  of  Activity  for  1922  Outlined  for  Annual  Convention  of 
Association  of  Building  Trades  Employers 


THE  New  York  State  Association  of  Builders  will  hold  its 
trtenty-sixth  annual  convention  at  Albany,  Tuesday  and 
Wednesday,  January  31  and  Feljvuary  1.  The  headquar- 
ters of  the  convention  will  be  at  the  Ten  Eyck  Hotel  and  the 
sessions  w'ill  be  held  in  the  ball  room.  The  responses  from  the 
various  employers'  associations  throughout  the  State  indicate 
that  the  forthcoming  convention  will  be  a  notable  gathering  as 
far  as  the  number  of  delegates  is  concerned  and  the  sessions 
should  result  in  some  very  constructive  effort  to  revive  interest 
in  building  in  this  Commonwealth. 

The  first  session  will  be  called  to  order  at  10  a.  m.  Tuesday 
and  the  convention  will  be  formally  opened  with  an  address 
by  William  S.  Hackett,  Mayor  of  Albany.  C.  W.  Luther, 
president  of  the  New  York  State  Association  of  Builders,  is 
scheduled  to  respond  to  the  address  of  welcome  after  which 
the  session  will  be  turned  over  to  routine  business.  This  will 
include  the  annual  reports  of  the  secretary  and  treasurer  and 
the  appointment  of  special  committees.  One  of  the  most  im- 
portant of  the  topics  for  discussion  at  this  session  will  be  that 


of  wage  scales  and  trade  agreements  and  working  conditions 
in  each  of  the  cities  represented  by  delegates. 

The  annual  banquet  of  the  Association  will  be  held  in  the  ball 
room  of  the  Ten  Eyck   Hotel  on  Tuesday  evening  at  7  p.  m. 

The  Wednesday  morning  business  session  will  convene  at 
10  a.  m.  and  the  program  includes  the  reading  of  annual  re- 
ports of  the  various  standing  committees,  the  report  of  the 
Executive  Committee,  the  appointment  of  a  new  executive  com- 
mittee, the  report  of  the  Counsel  on  legislative  work  of  1921, 
session  of  State  Legislature;  the  consideration  of  a  legislative 
program  for  1922  and  whatever  further  routine  business  may 
come  up.  One  of  the  most  important  features  on  the  program 
of  this  session  is  an  address  by  W.  S.  Hays,  Secretary  of  the 
National  Federation  of  Construction  Industries,  who  will  speak 
on  national  building  problems  and  the  plans  for  their  solution. 

This  session  will  adjourn  at  1  p.  m.  and  will  be  immediately 
followed  by  the  annual  State  Association  luncheon.  William 
T.  Ritch,  of  New  York  City,  will  be  the  song  leader  and  in- 
formal addresses  will  be  made  by  past  officers  of  the  associa- 
tion and  also  by  Edward  A.  Keeler,  Secretary  i 


Davenport  Committee  Proposes  to  Equalize  Taxes 


(Continued  from  page  103) 
districts  of  the  state  by  the  farmer,  the  home  owner  and  the 
rent  payer. 

"The  committee  believes  that  permanent  relief  for  overburdened  real 
property  lies  in  the  development  of  a  new  practice  in  the  localities 
themselves  with  respect  to  waste  and  the  extravagant  extension  of 
expenditures.  At  the  present  time  real  estate  in  New  York  is  in  an 
especially  exposed  position,  bearing  the  full  brunt  of  the  mounting 
costs  of  government,  the  committee  finds.  It  is  now  practically  the  sole 
shock  absorber. 

"Assessments  of  real  property  throughout  many  sections  of  the  State 
appear  to  be  involved  in  much  incompetence  and  injustice,"  the  report 
says.  "What  appears  to  be  needed  is  a  larger  assessment  district  and 
more  skilled  and  permanent  assessment  service.  The  attainment  of  this 
involves  the  adoption  of  a  constitutional  amendment." 

"Another  proposal  which  is  urgent  in  the  opinion  of  the 
Committee  has  to  do  with  the  increased  taxation  of  motor 
trucks.  It  is  perhaps  not  generally  known  that  of  every  $30,- 
000  a  mile  spent  at  present  by  the  state  for  road  building  the 
second  $15,000  is  expended  mainly  that  the  roads  may  be  fit 
to  permit  the  operation  of  heavy  trucks  carrying  great  loads 
of  freight. 

"The  committee  has  found,"  continues  the  report,  "that  the  old  method 
of  taxing  banks  and  other  financial  institutions,  which  has  been  in   force 


for  many  years,  produces  very  unequal  results,  and  proposes  that  financial 
institutions  be  taxed  by  a  new  method  on  the  basis  of  their  'net  income.' 
This  will  make  it  possible  to  treat  financial  institutions  with  more  exact 
fairness  as  compared  with  other  business,  and  to  correct  the  injustices 
which  the  committee's  investigations  show  now  rest  upon  the  smaller 
banks  of  the  State. 

"A  crisis  has  developed  in  bank  taxation  In  the  country  because  of  a 
decision  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  Unted  States  whch  apparently, 
makes  illegal  the  traditional  method  of  taxing  national  banks.  Certain 
of  the  national  banks  in  the  State  are  seeking  under  this  decision  to 
escape  from  all  State  taxation.  This  committee  has  joined  in  an  effort 
to  obtain  an  amendment  to  the  Revised  Statutes  of  the  United  States 
which  will  meet  the  condition  created  by  the  decision  of  the  Supreme 
Court.  Unless  this  amendment  is  conceded  by  Congress,  the  committee's 
plan  outlined  above  for  a  reorganization  of  the  bank  taxes  of  the  State, 
although  greatly  needed  in  the  interest  of  justice  to  the  banks  them- 
selves, as  well  as  to  the  State,  cannot  be  put  into  operation. 

"However,  if  a  reasonable  plan  is  blocked  through  the  short-sighted 
opposition  of  a  small  section  of  the  financial  community,  the  committee 
proposes  to  prevent  the  evasion  of  a  fair  share  of  the  Government  burden 
by  validating  the  traditional  national  bank  tax  through  a  return  to  the 
taxation  of  all  moneyed  capital  competing  with  national  banks  at  the 
same  rate  as  that  imposed  upon  national  banks  themselves. 

"The  committee  has  received  many  complaints  regarding  the  unequal 
manner  in  which  the  business  taxes  of  the  State  apply  when  restricted 
merely  to  incorporated  business  entitles.  The  committee  believes  that  a 
fair  business  tax  must  be  as  broad  as  business  itself,  and  that  the  unin- 
corporated business  entitles,  which  prosper  under  the  support  and  pro- 
tection of  the  environment  of  a  free  and  stable  Government,  should  pay 
their  fair  share  of  the  burden  which  the  State  finds  it  necessray  to  impose 
upon  business.  The  committee  recommends  a  reasonable  tax  upon  the  net 
income  above  !P5,000  of  unincorporated  business." 


Restricts  Height  of  Buildings  on  Fifth  Avenue 


HEIGHT  of  buildings  on  Fifth  Avenue  between  60th  and 
9Sth  Streets  will  be  restricted  to  75  feet.  This  was  de- 
decided  at  the  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Estimate  on  Fri- 
day, Jan.  20.  Several  weeks  ago  owners  of  property  along  this 
part  of  Fifth  Avenue  made  an  attempt  to  have  the  Board  of 
Estimate  include  that  territory  in  the  zoning  restrictions,  there- 
by limiting  the  erection  of  tall  buildings. 

A  majority  of  the  board  voted  in  favor  of  the  restrictions,  but 
when  it  was  pointed  out  that  the  law  provided  that  if  20  per 
cent,  of  the  property  owners  within  any  zoning  district  opposed 
restrictions  it  required  a  unanimous  vote  of  the  board  to  adopt 


a  zoning  resolution,  the  matter  was  laid  over  until  tomorrow 
to  determine  if  the  objectors  numbered  20  per  cent. 

The  Corporation  Counsel  gave  an  opinion  that  20  per  cent,  of 
the  o.wners  had  not  protested,  and  that  the  resolution  passed 
last  November  was  legal. 

Under  the  present  law  the  height  of  buildings  in  this  section 
may  be  150  feet,  but  the  amendment  restricts  the  height  to  75 
feet. 

Since  the  fight  to  restrict  buildings  on  the  Avenue  to  75  feet 
plans  have  been  filed  for  several  apartment  houses  reaching 
the  150-foot  limit. 


Employers  Reject  Untermyer's  Wage  Scale  Proposal

mote  the  public  interest  by  being  present  at  meetings  between 
representatives  of  the  Employers  and  the  Council  we  will  not 
object  to  the  presence  of  the  Lockwood  Committee  because  it 
is  truly  representative  of  the  public.  Your  body  can  render  no 
greater  public  service  in  this  matter  than  by  urging  the  Em- 
ployers to  accept  the  solution  offered  by  Mr.  Untermyer  and 
we  would  earnestly  request  you  to  follow  that  course. 
"Since  writing  the  above  Mr.  Crowley  has  been  in  touch  with 


Mr.  Untermyer  and  Mr.  Untermyer  has  made  the  following 
suggestions.  That  the  Council  will  have  no  objection  to  a 
small  committee — say  three  from  your  associates  to  be  present 
while  the  representatives  of  the  Employers'  Association  and 
the  Council  are  discussing  their  diflferences  but  under  no  con- 
sideration are  the  members  of  this  committee  to  have  any 
voice  in  the  discussion  or  to  be  considered  as  having  any  right 
to  arbitrate  existing  diiierences. 
"This  council  is  thoroughly  in  accord  with  this  suggestion."

Residential    Building    Still    Dominates    Local    Situation 

Weekly  Figures  of  F.  W.  Dodge  Companj'  Show  Tremendous  Influence  of  Tax 
Exemption  Measure  Upon  Construction  Outlook  in  Greater  New  York 


REPORTS  from  architects  and  engineers  in  New  York 
State  and  New  Jersey,  north  of  Trenton,  show  a  steady 
increase  in  the  volume  of  projected  construction  now 
scheduled  for  a  start  during  the  early  spring  months.  Although 
the  commitments  of  the  past  few  weeks  have  not  quite  kept 
pace  with  the  newly  projected  work  reported  the  actual  con- 
tract awards  have  been  fair  and  certainly  indicate  sufficient 
active  building  to  assure  a  busy  season  to  the  construction 
fraternity. 

According  to  the  figures  tabulated  by  the  F.  W.  Dodge  Com- 
pany for  the  third  week  of  1922  there  were  446  new  building  and 
■engineering  operations  reported  as  being  planned  for  locations 
in  New  York  States  and  Northern  New  Jersey.  This  work 
will  involve  an  outlay  of  approximately  $26,020,500.  During 
the  same  week  the  contracts  awarded  in  this  territory  num- 
bered 279  and  represented  a  total  value  of  $11,754,900. 

Residential  construction  accounts  for  approximately  one-half 
of  the  proposed  buildings  reported  and  is  nearly  two-thirds  of 
the  work  actually  placed  under  contract  during  the  week.  This 
is  largely  due  to  the  fact  that  the  close  of  the  tax  exemption 


period  is  near  at  hand  and  speculative  builders  are  making 
every  effort  to  get  their  operations  started  in  order  to  claim 
their  e.xemption  for  the  specified  period. 

Among  the  446  projects  for  which  plans  were  reported  during 
the  week  of  January  14  to  20  inclusive  were  73  business  build- 
ings such  as  stores,  offices,  lofts,  commercial  garages,  etc., 
uS,345,000;  17  educational  projects,  $4,625,400;  3  hospitals  and 
institutions,  $1,058,000;  17  factory  and  industrial  buildings, 
$323,500;  9  public  works  and  public  utilities,  $345,000;  8  religious 
and  memorial  structures,  $224,000;  301  residential  operations  in- 
cluding apartments,  flats  and  tenements  and  one  and  two-family 
dwellings,  $13,180,100  and  18  social  and  recreational  projects. 
$918,500. 

The  list  of  279  projects  for  which  contracts  were  reported 
during  the  third  week  of  1922  was  comprised  of  the  following 
groups:  49  business  buildings  of  various  types,  $1,428,800;  3 
educational  buildings,  $305,000;  3  hospitals  and  institutions, 
$655,000;  IS  factory  and  industrial  projects,  $315,000;  6  public 
works  and  public  utilities,  $465,000;  1  religious  edifice,  $10,- 
000;  residential  operations,  $8,270,100  and  4  social  and  recrea- 
tional projects,  $306,000.

I'aiiit    Research    To    Be    Undertaken 

Research  into  the  problems  of  the  pro- 
tecting power  and  durability  of  paint  on 
wood  is  being  planned  by  the  Engineer- 
ing Foundation.  It  is  likely  that  the  or- 
ganization of  the  proposed  investigation 
will  be  directed  .iointly  by  the  Foundation, 
the  Division  of  Engineering,  and  the  Di- 
vision of  Chemistry  and  Chemical  Tech- 
nology of  the  National  Research  Council. 
The  Foundation  says  that  in  view  of  the 
great  annual  expenditure  for  paint,  about 
.$300,000,000.  it  is  important  to  have  de- 
pendable information  on  the  durability 
both  of  paint  and  of  the  wood  which  it 
protects.

vate residences  and  large  apartment 
houses.  He  was  born  in  Aberdeen,  Scot- 
land, and  came  to  the  United  States  when 
he  was  about  twenty  years  of  age.  For 
the  past  thirty  years  he  had  been  a  resi- 
dent of  Brooklyn  and  was  prominently

CURRENT    BUILDING    OPERATIONS 


OCALi  building  interests  are  now 
chiefly  concerned  with  the  prospects 
for  a  new  working  agreement  and  wage 
scale  with  labor  and  until  this  question 
is  settled  there  is  likely  to  be  some 
hesitancy  about  starting  new  construc- 
tion. There  is  a  vast  amount  of  contem- 
plated work  pending,  a  large  percentage 
of  it  for  which  plans  are  fully  matured, 
but  owners  are  unwilling  to  make  defi- 
nite commitments  while  there  remains 
any  doubt  as  to  wages  for  building 
mechanics. 

Reports  from  speculative  building  In- 
terests are  indicative  of  an  early  spring 
start  on  a  lot  of  new  apartment  houses 
and  one  and  two-family  projects  so  as 
to  obtain  the  advantages  of  tax  exemp- 
tion. Although  there  is  a  possibility  that 
the  tax  exemption  law  may  be  extended 
the  majority  of  prospective  builders  of 
speculative  operations  are  not  taking  a 
chance  on  the  extension  of  the  present 
law,  but  will  make  every  possible  effort 
to  get  their  jobs  substantially  under  way 
by  the  time  specified  under  the  law  as  it 
now  reads. 

Recently  there  has  been  a  slight  ad- 
vancing tendency  to  material  prices  and 
the  markets  in  general  are  now  quite 
firm.  Brick,  Hudson  River  common,  is 
being  held  at  $17  a  thousand  in  the  whole- 
sale market  and  lumber  is  higher  than 
it  was.  Fabricated  steel  is  off  a  bit,  but 
several  other  lines  are  more  costly  today 
than  they  were  a  few  weeks  ago. 
Demand  is  fair,  but  inquiry  shows  that  a 
large  amount  of  new  business  will  be 
released  just  as  soon  as  conditions 
warrant. 

Conimnn  Brick — Owing  to  the  extremely 
cold  weather  of  the  past  week  or  ten 
days  business  in  the  New  York  wholesale 
market  for  Hudson  River  common  has 
been  quite  light.  Sales  l^ave  been  negli- 
gible and  as  the  river  is  completely  ice- 
bound above  Tarrytown  there  have  been 
no  arrivals  of  bricli  from  up-river  yards. 
Common  brick  prices  have  advanced 
sharply  during  the  week  with  current 
quotations  $17  a  thousand.  The  manu- 
facturers who  are  asking  this  figure  feel 
that  they  are  fully  entitled  to  it  because 
of  their  extra  costs  in  holding  and  cover- 
ing this  brick. 

Summary — Transactions  in  the  North 
River  common  brick  market  for  the  week 
ending  Thursday,  January  26.  Condition 
of  market;  Demand  light;  prices  sharply 
advanced.  Quotations;  Hudson  Rivers, 
$17  a  thousand  to  dealers  in  cargo  lots 
alongside  dock.  Number  of  cargoes 
arrived,  none;  sales,  6.  Distribution; 
Manhattan,      4;      Bronx,      1;      Astoria,      1.

wholesale  market,   9. 

Lumber — Trade  is  quiet  in  both  branches 
of  the  local  lumber  market,  but  recent 
inquiry  is  indicative  of  a  large  amount  of 
potential  business  that  is  likely  to  be  re- 
leased shortly.  It  is  reported  that  the 
majority  of  the  yellow  pine  mills  have 
again  resumed  operations  after  the  holi- 
day shutdown.  Although  the  present  de- 
mand for  this  kind  of  lumber  is  weak, 
prices  have  not  been  reduced  Long  leaf 
timber  prices  are  also  holding  firmly. 
Plat  grain   floorings  which  advanced  dur- 


ing the  last  quarter  of  1921  are  now  sell- 
ing considerably  below  the  December  1 
prices,  with  demand  light.  Spruce  prices 
are  flrm  but  stocks  are  badly  broken. 
There  is  a  tendency  on  the  part  of  some 
mills  to  make  concessions  in  prices  on 
maple  and  oak  flooring.  The  market  at 
present  is  particularly  spotty  and  will  not 
settle  down  again  until  the  1922  building 
season   gets   actually   under   way. 

Structural  Steel — The  local  market  for 
fabricated  steel  for  buildings  is  steadily 
improving,  with  a  continuation  of  fairly 
good    tonnage    for    commercial    construe-

tion  and  the  release  of  quite  a  number  of 
apartment  house  projects,  the  majority 
ranging  from  500  to  1,000  tons  each.  Al- 
though there  has  not  been  quite  so  much 
new  construction  figuring  during  the  past 
week  as  there  was  just  prior  to  the  close 
of  1921,  the  outlook  tor  the  early  spring 
is  bright  as  architects  and  engineers  are 
working  on  plans  for  a  number  of  im- 
portant operations  that  will  in  all  prob- 
ability be  shortly  released  for  bids.  Prices 
are  slightly  lower  and  ruling  quotations 
range  from  $60  to  $65  per  ton,  fabricated 
and   erected. 


Builders'  Hardware — There  is  quite  an 
active  interest  in  this  line  and  both  man- 
ufacturers and  jobbers  are  anticipating 
a  busy  season  ahead.  Early  prospects  for 
an  extensive  building  movement  during 
the  coming  spring  and  summer  months 
are  excellent  and  as  a  consequence  the 
outlook  for  a  heavy  hardware  demand  is 
particularly  bright.  At  present  the  move- 
ment out  of  jobbers'  stocks  is  fair  and 
dealers  seem  to  be  augmenting  their 
stocks  in  preparation  for  the  early 
spring  building  requirements.  Prices  are 
stoady  and  no  changes  were   reported.

Window  Glas.« — Although  business  in 
this  line  has  been  somewhat  dull  since  the 
beginning  of  the  year,  there  has  been  an 
increase  in  the  number  of  inquiries  local 
jobbers  have  received  during  the  past 
week  that  are  indicative  of  greater  buy- 
ing activity  within  the  next  few  weeks. 
There  is  still  considerable  new  construc- 
tion with  window  glass  requirements  yet 
to  be  taken  care  of  and  a  large  amount  of 
new  work  has  lately  been  placed  under 
contract,  so  that  the  market  for  glass  is 
practically  assured  for  the  coming  spring 
and  summer.  Prices  are  firm  and  un- 
changed. 

Electrical  Supplies — Business  in  this 
line  has  slowed  down  to  some  extent  dur- 
ing the  past  week  and  it  is  all  the  more 
apparent  because  there  was  quite  a  buy- 
ing spurt  directly  after  the  first  of  the 
year.  The  outlook  for  early  spring  busi- 
ness is  excellent,  however,  and  with  the 
volume  of  projected  construction  steadily 
increasing  there  should  be  no  complaint 
of  a  lack  of  business  during  the  coming 
season.  Prices  for  electrical  materials 
and  supplies  remain  steady  and  are  prac- 
tically unchanged.  For  the  most  part 
stocks  are  adequate  for  the  light  current 
demand  and  ample  supplies  are  easily 
available  at  production  points.  Quota- 
tions on  flexible  armored  conduit  are 
somewhat  easier  than  they  were  and  rub- 
ber-covered  wire   prices   are   slightly   off. 

Cast  Iron  Pipe — Orders  for  cast  iron 
pipe  for  spring  delivery  are  coming  in 
from  private  buyers  quite  rapidly  and 
some  are  for  fairly  large  tonnages,  so 
that  the  industry  has  quite  a  large  vol- 
ume of  business  ahead  and  prospects  of 
considerable  municipal  business  shortly 
to  be  released.  Manufacturers  are  far 
better  off  as  regards  orders  than  they 
were  one  year  ago,  and  practically  all  of 
the  plants  are  working  at  more  than  75 
per  cent,  of  capacity.  Prices  are  firm  and 
unchanged,  with  New  York  quotations  as 
follows:  6  in.  and  heavier,  $47.30  per  net 
ton;  5  in.  and  4  in.,  $52.30,  and  3  in., 
$62.30.  with  Class  A  and  gas  pipe  $4  extra 
per  ton. 

Linseed  Oil — During  the  past  week 
there  has  been  somewhat  of  a  change  in 
the  linseed  oil  market  situation.  The  de- 
mand has  improved,  although  practically 
all  buying  is  in  small  lots,  and  the  num- 
ber of  current  inquiries  leads  to  the  belief 
that  business  conditions  are  changing  for 
the   better.     Prices   are   firm. 

Nnils — Business  has  been  quite  dull 
during  the  past  few  weeks  and  jobbers 
do  not  anticipate  much  of  an  increase  un- 
til  the  spring  building  season  commences.

New   York   Gas   Ligkt   Rates 

The  New  York  Mutual  Gas  Light  Co.,  the 
Standard  Gas  Light  Co.,  the  New  Amsterdam 
Gas  Co.  and  the  East  River  Gas  Co.  of  Long 
Island  City,  filed  affidavits  with  the  Public 
Service  Commission  Saturday  last  in  justifica- 
tion of  the  $1.25  rate  which  these  companies 
have  filed  with  the  Public  Service  Commission, 
to  take  effect  February  11,  superseding  the 
$1.2u  rate  charged  by  these  companies  under 
the  temporary  injunction  granted  by  the  Fed- 
eral Court.  These  companies  have  just  ob- 
tained final  decrees  in  their  rate  suits  in  tno 
United  States  District  Court,  and  the  affidavits 
filed  by  the  presidents  of  the  respective  com- 
panies explain  that  the  $1.25  rate  is  slightly 
less  than  the  companies  are  legally  entitled 
to  receive,  as  a  matter  of  adequacy  of  return, 
but  that  the  $1.25  rate  is  promulgated  In  the 
interests  of  uniformity  with  the  $1.25  rate  now 
being  charged  by  the  Consolidated  Gas  Co.,  the 
Central  Union  Gas  Co.  and  the  Northern  Union 
Gas  Co.,  in  the  same  territory  in  Manhattan 
and   The    Bronx. 

The  affidavits  show  the  detailed  costs  of  the 
production  and  distribution  of  gas  as  of  Janu- 
ary 1.  1922.  in  comparison  with  the  costs  in 
1919  and  1020.  and  show  the  present  cost  to  be 
substantially  higher  than  in  those  years.  These 
actual  costs  for  the  four  companies,  including 
return  on  their  actual  investment  at  the  ra^e 
found  by  the  Federal  Court,  are  stated  by  the 
affidavits   to   be   as   follows : 

Jan.  1, 
1919        1920       1922 
New     York     Mutual     Gas 

Light    Co $1.29.38  $1.4694  $1.4012

Xew  Amsterdam  Gas  Co.  1.3075  1.3395  1.4132 
East    River    Gas    Co 1.3075     1.3395     1.4132 

An  affidavit  contemporaneously  filed  by  Rob- 
(  rt  A.  Carter,  vice-president  of  the  Consolidated 
Gas  Co..  and  in  charge  of  the  accounts  and 
records  of  that  company  and  the  affiliated  com- 
panies in  Manhattan  and  The  Bronx,  shows 
the  combined  cost,  as  of  January  1,  1922.  for 
all  the  comoanips.  to  be  $1..36ii6,  as  contrasted 
with  a   rpte  of  $1.25. 

The  affiiavit  of  Mr.  Carter  shows  that  sev- 
eral items  of  costs,  notably  taxes,  have  in- 
creased in  1922  as  compared  with  previous 
years.  The  increases  in  taxe-  assessed  by 
public  authority,  which  the  companies  are 
powerless  to  prevent,  amount  to  several  cents 
per   thousand    cubic    feet    of   gas    sold.

Putting  It  Up  to  the  Legislature 

The  week's  developments  indicate  that  some  of  our 
Eminent  Solvers  of  the  Housing'  Shortage  continue  to  rely 
on  printers'  ink  as  the  stuff  with  which  to  build  homes  for 
the  homeless.  The  Lockwood  Committee  used  a  consider- 
able quantity  of  it  in  a  preliminary  report  submitted  to  the 
Legislature  at  Albany  last  Monday  evening,  exploiting  offi- 
cially the  new-fangled  plan  of  Chief  Counsel  Untermyer  to 
build  45,000  new  homes  for  225,000  people  for  $100,000,- 
000.  This  plan,  in  the  form  in  which  it  appeared  at  Albany, 
adhered  to  original  lines,  being  based  on  the  proposition 
that  someone  must  furnish  the  money,  that  labor  contribute 
a  part  of  its  labor  gratis,  and  that  material  dealers  furnish 
the  necessary  materials  regardless  of  market  values.  An- 
other angle  of  this  remarkable  plan,  it  will  be  recalled,  con- 
templates that  the  construction  shall  be  done  without  any 
profit  to  the  concern  handling  it. 

As  was  to  be  expected,  the  formal  presentation  to  the  Leg- 
islature of  this  extraordinary  scheme  aflforded  opportunity 
for  additional  reams  of  newspaper  publicity,  free  adver- 
tising all  along  the  Hne  for  the  proponents  of  the  plan.  The 
idea  is  so  perfectly  simple,  it  was  so  easy  to  outline,  that 
the  wonder  is  some  of  our  Eminent  Solvers  of  the  Housing 
Shortage  did  not  think  of  it  before.  It  is  obvious,  of  course, 
that  if  Mr.  Untermyer's  plan  is  feasible,  it  was  just  as 
feasible  a  year  ago  or  two  years  ago.  What  a  fine  thing  it 
would  have  been,  what  an  evidence  of  forethought,  what 
an  example  of  genuine  strategy,  if  Mr.  Untermyer  and  his 
associates  had  gone  right  ahead  and  done  this  thing  a  couple 
of  years  ago !  How  perfectly  obvious  it  is  that  there  would 
be  no  shortage  of  any  kind  today  if  under  this  plan  45,000 
new  homes  for  225,000  people  had  been  erected  for  $100,- 
000,000  during  1920,  and  45,000  new  homes  for  225,000 
people  for  $100,000,000  had  been  erected  during  1921  !  If 
Mr.  Untermyer  and  his  associates  had  put  their  plan  into 
effect  only  twenty-four  months  earlier,  the  housing  short- 
age already  might  have  been  turned  in.to  a  housing  surplus 
here  in  New  York,  everybody  might  have  been  happy,  and 
probably  nothing  would  have  remained  to  be  done  by  the 
Lockwood  Committee.  Al  Jolson  never  manipulated  his 
Aladdin's  lamp  to  produce  such  astounding  results  as  those 
which  have  redounded  to  the  everlasting  glory  and  adver- 
tising of  the  Lockwood  Committee  and  its  chief  counsel. 

The  sad  fact  must  be  kept  in  mind,  however,  that  Mr. 
Untermyer  and  his  associates  did  not  carry  out  this  new- 
fangled scheme  in  1920  or  in  1921.  As  a  result,  here  we 
are  starting  the  year  1922  with  the  great  plan  still  in  em- 
bryo. But  the  scheme  is  beginning  to  move  now,  as  is 
shown  by  the  Albany  dispatches,  and  in  some  quarters  it 
continues  to  be  taken  seriously.  Governor  Miller,  for  in- 
stance, takes  it  seriously,  but  in  a  different  sense.  The 
Governor,  who  generally  keeps  his  feet  on  the  ground  and 
strives  to  keep  his  head  within  hailing  distance  of  his  feet, 
regards  this  plan  as  something  that  requires  very  careful 
study.  "As  an  original  proposition,"  the  Governor  says, 
"it  would  undoubtedly  be  a  very  unwise  thing  to  do.  The 
only  question  is  whether  it  will  help  in  the  present  emer- 


gency and  whether  it  would  be  justified  as  an  emergency 
matter.      That   has   to  be  given  careful   consideration." 

Governor  Miller's  observations  indicate  a  serious  ques- 
tion is  in  his  mind  as  to  whether  the  plan  is  sound  or  not. 
The  doubt  he  expresses  is  one  of  the  encouraging  signs  of 
the  times.  It  is  a  cheering  omen  that  Governor  Millet*, 
though  not  from  Missouri,  insists  on  being  shown  about 
this  latest  Lockwood  Committee  nostrum.  For  nearly  two 
years  the  people  of  New  York  have  been  struggling  with 
Lockwood  remedies  for  the  housing  shortage,  and  now  the 
Lockwood  Committee  itself  reports  to  the  Legislature  that 
the  situation  is  practically  as  serious  as  it  was  when  that 
committee  began  compounding  remedies  which  the  sufferers 
were  compelled  to  take  and  which  unquestionably  have 
done  them  little  good. 

Before  adopting  any  more  of  the  Untermyer-Lockwood 
remedies  it  would  be  well  for  the  Legislature  to  join  the 
Governor  in  not  only  careful,  but  very,  very  careful,  con- 
sideration of  this  latest  remedy.  The  Albany  statesmen  not 
only  should  keep  in  mind  that  the  various  plans  heretofore 
proposed  by  the  Lockwood  Committee  have  proven  inef- 
fective, but  they  also  should  keep  in  mind  the  fact  that  in 
the  matter  of  office  space  shortage,  which  was  quite  as  se- 
rious in  the  metropolis  two  years  ago  as  the  housing  short- 
age, the  situation  has  worked  itself  out  under  the  old  law 
of  supply  and  demand.  No  emergency  laws  were  enacted  at 
Albany  to  straighten  out  the  office  shortage,  and  yet  that  is 
the  one  space  shortage  in  New  York  which  no  longer  exists. 
Besides,  there  has  been  a  marked  drop  in  office  rentals. 


Safety  of  Ne-w  York  Theatres 

New  York  City,  recognized  as  the  theatrical  center  of  the 
world,  has  been  badly  shaken  by  the  disaster  which  befell  the 
Knickerbocker  Theatre  in  Washington  last  Saturday  eve- 
ning. As  yet  the  blame  for  this  terrible  disaster,  with  its 
toll  of  more  than  one  hundred  dead  and  scores  of  maimed 
and  injured,  has  not  been  localized,  and  it  may  be  doubtful 
if  responsibility  can  ever  be  fastened  upon  anything  but 
purely  natural  causes. 

A  valuable  lesson  is  to  be  learned  by  the  metropolis  from 
the  awful  calamity  in  the  nation's  capital,  however,  and  that 
is  a  repetition  of  it  must  never  be  permitted  to  occur  in  this 
city  if  preventable  by  human  ingenuity,  engineering  skill, 
protective  building  code  provisions  and  careful  supervision 
during  construction,  along  with  regular  inspections  by  quali- 
fied persons  during  the  life  of  the  structure.  Already  State 
and  city  authorities  have  planned  for  an  exhaustive  survey 
of  the  theatres  and  other  structures  commonly  used  for 
public  gatherings,  so  that  the  people  of  New  York  City  may 
not  be  subjected  to  sorro\<  and  loss  by  a  similar  accident. 

Preliminiary  surveys  of  the  Washington  disaster  have  so 
far  failed  to  show  criminal  structural  weakness  in  the  roof 
construction  of  the  theatre  or  negligence  on  the  part  ol  its 
owners  and  managers.  The  accident  seems  clearly  the  re- 
sult of  the  weight  of  an  excessive  fall  of  snow,  a  fall  most 
unusual  as  compared  with  the  normal  climate  of  the  capital. 
The  building  code  of  Washington  did  not  guard  against 


134; 


RECORD    AND     GUIDE

this  extra  weight  ift  its  provisions,  although  a  factor  of 
safety  was  called  for  that  was  generally  considered  ample 
and  perfectly  in  accordance  with  local  conditions. 

Competent  authorities  in  the  design,  construction  and  su- 
pervision of  theatres  in  the  metropolis  have  assured  the 
theatre-going  population  of  New  York  City,  and  that  means 
practically  everyone,  that  a  disaster  such  as  befell  the 
Knickerbocker  Theatre  in  Washington  is  an  impossibility 
in  this  city.  They  point  out  that  the  factor  of  safety  de- 
manded by  the  Building  Code  for  roof  construction  of  all 
theatres  and  halls  for  public  gatherings  is  sufficient  to  pre- 
vent a  similar  accident  here. 

Architects  of  theatres  in  New  York  City  are  required  by 
the  provisions  of  the  Building  Code  to  allow  for  forty 
pounds  live  load  to  the  square  foot  on  a  flat  roof  or  a  roof 
having  an  angle  of  less  than  twenty  degrees.  Where  the 
angle  is  greater  the  load  may  be  reduced  to  thirty  pounds 
per  square  foot.  The  factor  of  safety  generally  consid- 
ered as  the  minimum  is  five ;  that  is,  the  architect  must  de- 
sign his  roof  to  be  sufficiently  strong  to  support  five  times 
the  load  per  square  foot  that  is  required  by  the  Building 
Code.  In  New  York  City,  where  the  live  load  provision  is 
forty  pounds  per  square  foot,  the  roofs  must  be  capable 
in  an  emergency  of  supporting  five  times  this  weight,  or 


two  hundred  and  fifty  pounds,  on  a  flat  or  slightly  slanting 
roof,  and  at  least  one  hundred  and  fifty  pounds  per  square 
foot  where  the  roof  angle  is  greater  than  twenty  degrees. 

Dense  or  wet  snow  is  generally  calculated  by  engineers 
to  weigh  approximately  twenty-five  pounds  per  cubic  foot. 
Thus  a  roof  capable  of  supporting  the  live  load  provided 
by  the  factor  of  safety  commonly  considered  good  practice 
can  carry  at  least  ten  feet  of  wet  snow  before  it  is  strained 
to  the  breaking  point,  and  this  is  far  in  excess  of  any 
snowfall  on  record  in  this  city,  not  excepting  the  great  bliz- 
zard of  March  12,  1888. 

The  code  provisions  offer  every  possible  assurance  of 
safety  to  the  theatre-going  pubHc  of  New  York  City,  and 
where  the  structures  are  erected  by  competent  engineers 
and  builders  who  have  respect  for  these  laws  and  who  build 
honestly  and  without  attempt  to  skimp  and  save  on  their 
material  bills,  every  safeguard  humanly  devisable  is  guar- 
anteed. From  accidents  that  are  the  results  of  natural 
causes  or  conditions  there  can  be  no  such  guarantee,  but  as 
engineering  knowledge  of  the  present  is  rated  unusually 
high  there  is  every  reason  to  pre-suppose  that  all  adverse 
factors  possible  to  guard  against  have  been  included  in 
the  provisions  for  the  safety  and  comfort  of  New  York 
City's  theatre  patrons. 


Lessons  for  New  York  in  British  Housing  Experiments 


Editor  of  the   Record  and   Guide: 

"Housing  Betterment,"  a  quarterly  journal  issued  by  the 
National  Housing  Association,  devoted  its  issue  of  September, 
1920,  to  the  presentation  of  the  housing  policy  of  the  British 
Government.  Some  of  the  'comments  quoted  from  English 
journals  and  from  English  experts  are  of  particular  interest  m 
view  of  the  light  they  throw  upon  the  inevitable  results  of  the 
method  pursued  by  the  New  York  Legislature  in  dealing  with 
the  same  problem. 

On  page  4  the  quarterly  quotes  from  one  of  the  architectural 
journals  as  follows:  "What  is  the  lesson?  A  nation  cannot 
supply  free  houses  any  more  than  it  can  supply  free  clothing 
outfits.  Houses  must  be  built  as  a  paying  business  concern, 
and  this  is  the  fundamental  principle  to  be  accepted.  The  only 
way  this  can  be  done  is  by  utilizing  the  ordinary  channels  of 
private  enterprise." 

The  quarterly  adds,  page  10:  "The  fundamental  difficulty 
lies  in  the  Increase  of  Rents  Restriction  Acts,  which  still  keep 
the  rent  of  a  house  far  below  what  it  would  be  in  an  open 
market."  ....  "It  is  obvious  that  the  Government's 
failure  in  housing  finance  is  due  in  part,  at  any  rate,  to  the 
measure  of  their  success  in  keeping  back  the  rising  tide  of 
rents."  .  .  .  "Like  Canute,  they  have  done  their  best,  but 
they  are  bound,  sooner  or  later,  to  let  the  tide  rise — at  any 
rate,  sufficiently  to   float  the  'plank.'     Failing  that,  they  must 


be  prepared  to  carry  the  plank  themselves!  ...  It  may  be 
taken  as  an  axiom  that  no  housing  scheme  can  be  regarded  as 
a  success  unless  it  pays  its  way.  That  is  to  say,  the  price  of 
building  must  come  down  and  rents  must  go  up  to  such  a  level 
that  economic  conditions  are  possible." 

"To  sum  up  with  regard  to  housing,  unless  some  form  of 
subsidy  is  continued,  very  few  houses  are  likely  to  be  built 
until  the  Rent  Restriction  Acts  are  put  on  such  a  basis  as  will 
ensure  a  progressive  movement  towards  an  economic  rent." 

When  will  our  legislators  learn  that  the  same  economic  prin- 
ciples govern  conditions  in  this  country  as  in  England;  that 
laws  designed  to  keep  rents  down  necessarily  and  inevitably 
result  in  keeping  houses  from  being  built;  that  the  only  way  to 
cure  the  housing  shortage  if  it  exists  is  to  stimulate  and  not 
discourage  the  building  of  houses;  and  that  the  sooner  ordinary 
economic  processes  are  allowed  to  operate  without  interfer- 
ence, the  sooner  the  whole  situation  will  cure  itself?  Indeed, 
there  is  no  need  to  go  to  England  for  an  example.  The  Legis- 
lative Committee  is  convicted  out  of  its  own  mouth.  In  spite 
of  legislation;  it  concedes  that  the  shortage  that  it  finds  today 
is  worse  than  it  was  two  years  ago.  In  the  same  interval  of 
■  time,  an  even  more  extreme  scarcity  of  office  and  loft  space 
has  cured  itself.  The  Legislature  interfered  in  housing;  it 
left  lofts  and  office  buildings  alone.  Can  anything  be  more 
illuminating?  X. 

New  York,  Jan.  31,  1922. 


L,abor  Law  Change  Ehminates  Costly  Hoisting  Provisions 


THE  first  law  passed  by  the  Legislative  Session  of  1922 
was  one  materially  effecting  builders  and  property 
owners.  The  new  legislation  is  an  amendment  to  the 
Labor  Law  aflfecting  the  construction  of  tall  buildings  and 
the  change  has  been  made  through  the  enactment  of  Chap- 
ter I  of  the  Laws  of  1922  relating  to  the  hoisting  of  materials 
entering  into  the  construction  of  buildings. 

In  the  recodification  of  the  Labor  Law  by  the  Legislative 
Session  of  1921  the  old  law  was  changed  in  such  a  way  as 
not  only  to  create  additional  cost  in  construction  but  also  to 
present  physical  difficulties  almost  impossible  to  overcome 
by   builders   in   their  work.     After  the   situation    was   brought 


to  the  attention  of  the  Board  of  Appeals  and  discussed  by 
other  interested  organizations  and  parties  the  conclusions 
were  placed  before  the  Senate  Committee  on  Labor  and 
as  there  appeared  to  be  no  substantial  underlying  reason  for 
the  change  made  in  1921,  and  no  opposition  to  an  amendment 
to  bring  the  wording  back  to  the  language  of  the  old  Section 
10,  now  new  Section  241,  of  the  Labor  Law. 

The  law  is  now  limited  in  its  application,  as  it  was  prior 
to  1921,  to  the  hoisting  of  lumber  or  timber  in  buildings  in 
course  of  construction,  five  stories  or  more  in  height,  and 
excepts  all  other  materials  which  must  be  so  hoisted  if  con- 
struction  costs   are   not   to   become  prohibitive.

New  Standards  for  Fifth  Avenue   Real   Estate  Values 

Deal  Just  Closed  for  Lease  of  Hotel  Bristol  and  Negotiations  for  Democratic  Club 

Site  Reveal  Marked  Changes 


THE  recent  efforts  of  Saks  &  Company  to  acquire  control 
of  the  National  Democratic  Club's  home,  at  617  Fifth 
Avenue,  a  plot  42x100,  in  order  to  complete  the  assemb- 
ling of  all  the  parcels  on  the  east  side  of  Fifth  Avenue,  from 
Forty-ninth  to  Fiftieth  Street,  as  the  combined  site  for  a  modern 
store  building  for  their  own  use,  and  the  new  lease  on  the 
Hotel  Bristol  site,  corner  of  Fifth  Avenue  and  Forty-second 
Street,  have  attracted  general  investment  interest  once  again 
to  Fifth  Avenue  real  estate  values,  and  especially  the  part  of 
the  thoroughfare  from  Thirty-fourth  Street  to  the  Plaza  at 
Fifty-ninth  Street.  The  remainder  of  the  frontage  on  the 
block,  Saks  &  Company  wants  is  158.10  feet.  The  Hotel  Buck- 
ingham, at  the  southeast  corner  of  Fiftieth  Street,  runs  along 
the  street  208  feet  and  has  an  L  running  to  Forty-ninth  Street 
in  the  rear  of  the  rest  of  the  Fifth  Avenue  front  of  the  block. 
The  property  of  the  National  Democratic  Club  immediately 
adjoins  the  Hotel  Buckingham  on  Fifth  Avenue. 

It  will  be  recalled  that  R.  H.  Macy  &  Company  built  their 
building  around  the  northwest  corner  of  Broadway  and  Thirty- 
fourth  Street  because  they  could  not  buy  the  corner  at  a  price 
that  they  deemed  within  reason;  also,  that  the  late  E.  R.  H. 
Martin  built  the  Marbridge  Building  around  the  old  four-story 
brick  building,  18.9^x60,  at  the  southeast  corner  of  Broadway 
and  Thirty-fifth  Street,  diagonally  opposite  the  former  Herald 
Building,  for  the  same  reason,  and  that  the  New  York  Tele- 
phone Company  built  a  large  building  on  the  east  block  front 
of  Broad  Street,  from  Bridge  to  Stone  Street,  except  the  im- 
mediate corner  of  Stone  Street,  on  which  stood  a  small  building. 
10.6x20.3,  the  priceof  which  the  company  would  not  pay.  There 
are  other  corner  instances  in  various  parts  of  the  city.  The 
club  site  on  Fifth  Avenue,  however,  presents  an  interior  struc- 
tural obstacle  on  the  greatest  of  shopping  thoroughfares  that 
has  meant  a  delay  in  the  beginning  of  work  on  a  block  front 
improvement. 

Saks  &  Company  have  offered  $1,000,000  for  the  club  site  and 
have  set  that  as  the  highest  figure  they  will  pay.  The  National 
Democratic  Club  has  declined  to  sell  its  property  for  that  sum, 

The  club  has  what  it  believes  are  logical  alternatives  to  this 
proposition.  It  has  received  from  Warren  &  Wetmore,  archi- 
tects of  the  Heckscher  Building,  at  Fifth  Avenue  and  Fifty- 
seventh  Street,  a  plan  for  a  new  building  on  the  club-house  site 
that  would  yield  a  revenue  proportionally  the  same  as  that  of 
the  Heckscher  Building.  It  has  been  characterized  and  is 
known  as  the  Heckscher  plan.  The  architects  show  that  the 
National  Democratic  Club  has  one  of  the  most  valuable  club- 
house sites  in  the  United  States  if  properly  utilized.  As  the  site 
for  a  club  house  which  they  term  a  "revenue  producing  club 
house,"  the  architects  show  that  a  structure  on  the  same  lines 
as  the  Heckscher  Building  would  net  the  club  annually,  for  the 
first  thirteen  years,  respectively,  as  follows:  1st  year,  $200,000; 
2d  year,  $206,000;  3d  year,  $212,000;  4th  year,  $218,000;  Sth  year, 
$224,000;  6th  year,  $230,000;  7th  year,  $236,000;  8th  year,  $242,- 
000;  9th  year,  $248,000;  10th  year,  $254,000;  11th  year,  $260,000; 
12th  year,  $266,000;  13th  year,  $272,000,  and  every  year  there- 
after the  last  figure,  with  the  club  free  and  clear  of  building 
debt,  and  all  other  debts.  This  $272,000  per  year  net  would 
represent  over  4^  per  cent,  on  a  six  million  dollar  valuation  of 
the  club  ground  and  club  building.  The  club  would  in  addition 
have  a  cash  surplus  in  its  treasury  at  the  end  of  the  thirteenth 
year  equaling  the   difference  between  the  $100,000  a  year  paid 


annually  on  account  of  mortgage  of  $1,200,000  and  the  annual 
income  as  per  above  table. 

Warren  &  Wetmore  have  also  submitted  another  plan  for  a 
"building  for  club  uses  to  be  constructed  on  convertible  com- 
mercial purpose  lines"  that  would  net  the  club  annually,  for 
the  first  thirteen  years,  as  follows:  1st  year,  $109,000;  2d  year, 
$115,000;  3d  year,  $121,000;  4th  year,  $127,000;  5th  year,  $133,000; 
6th  year,  $139,000;  7th  year,  $145,000;  8th  year,  $151,000;  9th 
year,  $157,000;  10th  year,  $163,000;  11th  year,  $169,000;  12th 
year,  $175,000;  13th  year,  $181,000,  and  every  year  thereafter  the 
latter  amount,  $181,000,  with  the  club  free  and  clear  of  debt,  and 
with  a  surplus  in  its  treasury  equaling  the  difference  between 
$100,000  annual  payment  on  $1,200,000  mortgage  and  the  total 
annual  net  income  as  per  above  table,  and  the  club  would  have 
the  use  of  the  finest  club  house  of  its  kind  in  the  world,  for  the 
exclusive  use  of  members. 

In  reply  to  an  inquiry  from  Charles  C.  Hughes,  secretary  of 
the  Ways  and  Means  Committee  of  the  National  Democratic 
Club,  who  inquired  of  them  about  the  Fifth  Avenue  rental 
power,  Cushman  &  Wakefield,  who  manage  the  various  Heck- 
scher properties,  state:  "In  a  general  way,  possible  rentals  that 
might  be  expected  from  a  commercial  building,  of  the  type  and 
character  of  the  Heckscher  Building,  Fifth  Avenue  and  Fifty- 
seventh  Street,  to  be  erected  upon  the  present  site  of  the  Demo- 
cratic Club,  we  will  say  that  the  store  should  have  a  rental 
value  of  about  $20  a  square  foot.  This  price  might  be  increased 
in  the  event  of  there  being  large  stores  on  either  side  of  it.  For 
the  first  floor,  above  the  store  floor,  about  $6  a  square  foot. 
The  floors  above  this  would  be  valuable  according  to  their  light 
and  window  display.  You  might  obtain  from  $3  to  $4  a  square 
foot  for  them.  Above,  say  from  the  tenth  floor,  the  space 
should  become  more  valuable  and  should  range  from  $4  a 
square  foot  upwards.  Owners  on  Fifth  Avenue  are  asking  for 
unusually  light  top  floor  space  as  high  as  $6  a  square  foot  for 
small  areas.  The  location  of  a  building  such  as  you  speak  of 
makes  it  somewhat  difficult  to  determine  the  possible  rentals, 
as  there  are  no  very  large  office  buildings  nearer  than  the 
Straus  Building  at  Fifth  Avenue  and  Forty-sixth  Street,  where 
a  prevailing  price  of  $4  a  square  foot  for  good  space  obtains. 
In  the  Forty-second  Street  district,  office  space  ranges  from 
$3  to  $5  a  square  foot  a  year,  according  to  the  character  of  the 
building  and  the  desirability  of  the  space." 

Secretary  Hughes  has  stated  to  Henry  Mandel,  representing 
Saks  &  Company,  that  the  Warren  &  Wetmore  estimates  are 
absolutely  reliable  and  that  the  club  could  erect  on  its  present 
home  site,  on  the  Heckscher  plan,  a  modern  clubhouse  for  the 
exclusive  use  of  its  members  and  pay  for  the  same  in  its  first 
thirteen  years  of  occupancy,  with  a  net  estimated  surplus  at  the 
end  of  the  period  of  $635,000.  Including  the  interest  on  this 
surplus,  the  club,  after  the  thirteenth  year,  would  have  a  net 
income  of  $200,000  a  year,  for  all  time,  and  it  would  in  addition 
have  an  added  income  of  $200,000  through  the  accruals  of  in- 
terest on  the  cash  yearly  surplus  and  the  net  annual  income. 
The  net  result  at  the  end  of  105  years  would  be  that  the  club 
would  have  a  club-house  built  absolutely  for  its  own  member- 
ship and  would  have  more  than  $26,000,000  in  its  treasury  and 
an  annual  income  of  more  than  $1,000,000  on  and  after  that 
date,  with  the  club  still  owning  the  property  in  fee. 

The  so-called  "convertible  commercial  purpose"  building, 
before  alluded  to.  if  built  would  at  the  end  of  105  years  about

double  the  net  income  figures  mentioned  above;  which  would 
prove  the  contention  of  the  Non-removal  Committee,  that  the 
club  property  utilized  is  one  of  the  most  valuable  properties  of 
its  size  in  the  country.  The  committee  challenges  any  realty 
expert  to  prove  to  the  contrary. 

If  either  one  of  the  building  plans  submitted  by  Warren  & 
Wetmore  is  carried  out,  the  National  Democratic  Club  will 
arrange  to  assign  two  floors  of  the  building  for  the  use  ot 
representative  women's  organizations  of  the  Democratic  Party, 
at  a  rental  to  be  agreed  upon. 

Jefferson  M.  Levy  is  chairman  of  the  Non-removal  Committee 
of  the  club;  Nathan  Hirsch  is  chairman  of  the  Ways  and  Means 
Committee;  Charles  C.  Hughes  is  secretary  of  both  commit- 
tees; and  Frederick  A.  Wallis  is  treasurer  and  chairman  of 
the  Executive  Committe  of  the  General  Committee. 

Fifth  Avenue  real  estate  values  and  their  increment  since 
trade  first  began  to  invade  the  thoroughfare  form  interesting 
observations.  In  1889  a  committee  composed  of  John  D.  Crim- 
mins,  Orlando  B.  Potter  and  Jefferson  M.  Levy  bought  for  the 
National  Democratic  Club  for  $175,000  the  property  it  now 
occupies.  The  site  had  been  the  home  of  the  late  Cord  Meyer, 
Jr.,  who  was  long  treasurer  of  the  Democratic  State  Committee 
and  a  man  of  large  wealth.  Mr.  Meyer  thought  the  price  he 
obtained  for  the  property  was  very  satisfactory.  Apparently  he 
did  not  foresee  the  marvelous  growth  of  business  in  the  avenue. 
The  club  was  offered  $210,000  before  it  took  title  and  refused  it. 
In  1897  Richard  Croker  took  an  active  interest  in  the  manage- 
ment of  the  club,  and  through  his  counsel  and  judgment  the 
organization  held  on  to  the  property,  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  it 
had  bought  the  old  building  of  the  New  York  Athletic  Club,  on 
Sixth  Avenue,  which  the  club  finally  decided  not  to  use.  It  was 
ultimately  sold  at  a  loss  to  the  Democratic  Club  of  $50,000.  In 
the  light  of  the  increment  of  the  Fifth  Avenue  home  of  the 
organization  it  could  well  afford  to  have  lost  the  $50,000  instead 
of  the  great  increment  of  the  present  holding,  which  it  would 
have  lost  instead  if  it  had  sold. 

It  will  be  recalled  that  many  years  ago  the  Manhattan  Club, 
a  famous  Democratic  social  and  political  organization,  leased 
the  old  Stewart  mansion  that  stood  on  the  plot,  61.9x100,  at 
the  northwest  corner  of  Fifth  avenue  and  Thirty-fourth  Street, 
which  it  occupied  for  some  years.  About  twenty  years  ago  the 
club  was  offered  an  option  of  purchase  of  the  property  at 
$1,200,000,  on  easy  terms,  by  the  heirs  of  A.  T.  Stewart.  The 
price  seemed  enormous  and  the  club  could  not  see  the  ad- 
vantage of  it.  Today  the  property  is  worth  more  than  $5,000,- 
000,  with  a  fourteen-story  building  on  the  site.  Before  that  was 
built  it  was  assessed  at  $1,725,000,  with  a  four-story  office  build- 
ing thereon.  The  new  building  was  sold  a  few  years  ago,  at  a 
good  profit,  by  Max  Natanson,  who  erected  the  larger  building. 
Less  than  a  decade  after  the  Manhattan  Club  declined  to  buy 
the  Stewart  mansion  a  plot  one-half  the  size  of  the  Stewart  plot 
and  directly  across  the  avenue  was  sold  to  Benjamin  Altman 
by  the  King  family  for  more  than  $900,000.  It  adjoined  the 
northeast  corner  of  Fifth  Avenue  and  Thirty-fourth  Street 
and  now  forms  part  of  the  site  of  the  Altman  store  building. 
About  the  same  time,  Henry  Clews  sold  his  home,  a  four-story 
stone  double  house,  on  the  north  side  of  West  Thirty-fourth 
Street,  a  few  doors  west  of  Fifth  Avenue,  for  nearly  $700,000 
to  McCreery  &  Company  as  part  of  the  site  for  their  store 
building  which  they  were  then  assembling.  Mr.  Clews  took  a 
handsome  profit  over  what  he  had  paid  for  the  property 
many  years  before.  About  the  same  time,  also,  the  New  York 
Club  sold  its  club-house  and  site  at  the  southwest  corner  of 
Fifth  Avenue  and  Thirty-fifth  Street,  which  is  now  the  site  of 
a  large  building.  The  club  thought  it  was  obtaining  an  enor- 
mous price  for  the  property  at  the  time,  but  it  has  trebled  in 
value  since. 

The  elder  James  Gordon  Bennett  lived  and  died  in  an  old 
brick  and  stone  mansion  that  stood  on  the  plot,  60.11x125,  at 
the  northeast  corner  of  Fifth  Avenue  and  Thirty-eighth  Street, 
which  he  owned.  That  was  in  1872,  and  Mr.  Bennett  had 
bought  the  property  some  years  before  for  a  comparatively 
nominal  sum.  The  entire  neighborhood  was  purely  residential. 
His    son,    of   the    same    name,    resided    there   for    some    years 


afterward.  Less  than  twenty-five  years  ago  Mr.  Bennett  sold 
the  property  to  the  late  Austin  Corbin  for  residential  purposes 
at  the  then  munificent  price  of  $175,000.  Ten  years  later  the 
Corbin  estate  sold  the  parcel  for  $350,000;  a  year  or  two  later 
it  was  sold  for  $500,000;  and  later  still  for  $800,000.  The 
Siebrecht  Building,  a  five-story  office  and  store  structure,  now 
occupies  the  site;  and  the  aggregate  annual  rental  of  the 
property  now  is  within  $35,000  of  what  Mr.  Bennett  obtained 
for  the  fee  of  it. 

Twenty-five  years  ago  the  late  Judge  Bixbee  sold  the  lot, 
25x100,  at  the  southeast  corner  of  Fifth  Avenue  and  Forty- 
second  Street  for  $149,000.  It  is  now  worth  $1,000,000  by  itself, 
although  it  forms  part  of  a  large  site. 

About  fifteen  years  ago  the  Lorillard  estate  owned  the  plot, 
74.1x125,  at  the  northeast  corner  of  Fifth  Avenue  and  Thirty- 
seventh  Street,  with  an  old  brick  mansion  on  it.  It  was  sold 
then  for  $325,000.  A  few  years  later  Benjamin  Altman  bought 
it  for  $850,000;  and  it  has  since  been  sold  for  $1,200,000.  In 
1903,  Commodore  Elbridge  T.  Gerry  leased  the  Bristol  Build- 
ing, northwest  corner  of  Fifth  Avenue  and  Forty-second  Street, 
an  eight-story  structure,  on  a  plot  74.6x125,  to  Walter  J. 
Salmon,  for  $45,000  a  year,  Mr.  Salmon's  lease  expires  next 
year,  but  last  week  he  signed  a  new  lease  for  the  entire  Gerry 
plot  for  a  rental  of  about  $430,000  a  year.  Mr.  Gerry,  beside 
owning  the  Bristol  Building,  owns  the  five-story  building  at 
506  Fifth  Avenue,  adjoining,  25.11x125,  together  with  28,  29,  30 
and  31  West  Forty-second  Street,  adjoining  the  rear  of  the 
Bristol  Building,  old  five-story  buildings  with  stores,  each  on  a 
lot  20.10x100.5.  The  lease  on  all  of  these  expires  next  year 
also..  For  all  of  these  properties,  including  the  Bristol  Building, 
the  annual  rental  asked  on  a  new  lease  was  $450,000  a  year. 
By  acquiring  a  lease  covering  these  properties  Mr.  Salmon  now 
has  a  plot  approximately  100x195  feet  on  the  corner  many 
experts  consider  the  most  valuable  in  uptown  New  York.  There 
are  other  stores  on  the  Forty-second  Street  block  that  are  bring- 
ing record  rentals  on  new  leases.  A  new  lease  may  mean  a  large 
modern  building  on  the  combined  plots.  One  lot  at  the  north- 
west corner  of  Fifth  Avenue  and  Forty-second  Street,  part  of 
the  Bristol  Building  site,  was  in  1849  worth  $1,250.  In  that  year 
the  Hoffman  family  bought  lots  on  the  north  side  of  Forty- 
second  Street,  opposite  Bryant  Park,  for  $250  each,  and  it  still 
owns  them,  improved,  of  course. 

Less  than  a  decade  ago  the  five-story  building  535  Fifth 
Avenue,  adjoining  the  Delmonico  Building  at  the  northeast 
corner  of  Forty-fourth  Street,  could  have  been  bought  for  about 
$200,000.  Now  it  is  assessed  for  $475,000,  and  during  the  last 
year  was  sold  at  a  figure  considerably  beyond  that.  The 
Delmonico  Building  itself,  covering  a  plot  65.5x140,  the  latter 
frontage  on  the  avenue,  is  assessed  at  $1,600,000.  It  is  under- 
stood that  it  was  acquired  not  long  ago  by  the  Harriman 
National  Bank  at  more  than  $2,000,000. 

An  interesting  single  parcel  is  that  owned  by  the  estate  of 
Anson  R.  Flower  at  601  Fifth  Avenue,  between  Forty-eighth 
and  Forty-ninth  Streets.  It  is  a  five-story  building,  on  a  lot 
27x100,  and  it  is  assessed  at  $390,000.  The  estate  is  asking 
$650,000  for  it,  and  it  is  understood  to  have  refused  an  offer 
of  $625,000. 

Nearby,  at  the  southwest  corner  of  Fifth  Avenue  and  Forty- 
eighth  Street,  is  the  five-story  modern  structure  known  as  the 
Black,  Starr  &  Frost  Building,  covering  a  plot  45.5x125,  with 
an  interior  "L"  25x55.  About  ten  years  ago  it  was  sold  for 
$1,000,000,  and  the  price  was  then  considered  a  record  one  in 
upper  Fifth  Avenue.  Now  it  is  held  at  $2,800,000.  It  is  assessed 
at  $1,500,000,  or  half  a  million  dollars  more  than  it  was  sold 
for  about  a  decade  ago. 

Opposite  the  property  of  the  National  Democratic  Club  are 
two  stores  that  are  leased  at  a  rental  of  $36,000  a  year  each, 
while  the  jeweler,  Kirkpatrick,  at  the  southwest  corner  of 
Fifth  Avenue  and  Fiftieth  Street,  has  been  oflfered  a  large 
profit  for  the  remainder  of  his  lease  on  his  store. 

In  the  light  of  the  increment  of  property  values  all  around 
it,  many  members  of  the  National  Democratic  Club  feel  that 
there  is  no  good  reason  for  it  to  sell  its  property.

be   presented  to  the  Senate  and  Assembly  about   February   15. 
The  preliminary  report  follows: 


Until  March  1,  1924,  and  so  long  thereafter  as  the  emergency  in 
housing  conditions  mentioned  in  certain  acts  of  the  Legislature  of 
U>20  and  1021  shall  continue,  every  life  insurance  corporaton,  foreign 
or  domestic,  transacting  business  in  this  State,  may  purchase  land  in 
any  city  of  the  flrst-class  in  this  State,  and  on  land  in  such  city 
acquired  pursuant  to  any  other  provision  of  this  chapter  may  erect 
apartment,    tenement,    or    other    dwelling    houses,    not    including   hotels. 

Such  corporations  may  thereafter  hold,  maintain,  manage,  collect 
and  receive  income  from  and  from  time  to  time  sell  or  convey  the 
lands  so  purchased  and  the  improvements  thereon.  The  aggregate 
cost  of  all  the  lands  so  purchased  and  Improvements  so  made  shall 
not  exceed  10  per  cent,  of  the  total  admitted  assets  of  such  corporation 
as  of  December  31,  1921,  as  such  assets  are  shown  in  the  annual 
report  of  such  corporation  to  Superintendent  of  Insurance  for  the 
year  1921. 
p  The  cost  of  land  acquired  under  this  section  shall  not  be  allowed  as 
an  admitted  asset  unless  improved  as  provided  by  this  section,  nor  If 
so  improved,  shall  the  cost  of  such  land  and  improvements  thereon  be 
so  allowed  unless  the  average  net  rental  value  of  such  apartment, 
tenement,  or  other  dwelling  house  erected  thereon,  as  estimated  at  the 
commencement   of   construction,    be   $0,   or   less,    per   month    per   room. 

When  Governor  Miller  was  asked  if  he  approved  of  the 
measure   introduced   by   the   Lockwood   Committee   giving   the 


Your  committee  finds  overwhelming  evidence  that  the  emergency  In 
housing  accommodations  that  existed,  particularly  in  the  city  of  New 
York,  at  the  time  the  emergency  rent  laws  were  passed  still  exists, 
and  that,  with  respect  to  the  cheaper  class  of  tenements  and  houses 
that  formerly  rented  at  from  $4  to  $11  per  room,  the  emergency  has 
grown  and  is  today  more  acute  than  It  was  at  the  time  the  laws  were 
passed. 

Your  committee  further  finds  that,  owing  to  the  high  prices  of  labor 
and  materials  and  to  other  economic  conditions,  no  houses  of  the  char- 
acter last  described  are  being  constructed  or  are  in  prospect,  whilst, 
on  the  other  hand,  many  of  the  older  tenements  of  this  class  have 
become  obsolete  and  uninhabitable,  whilst  many  others  have  been  torn 
down  to  make  room  for  business  buildings  that  are  encroaching  upon 
these    neighborhoods. 

The  present  costs  have  driven  building  actlvites  into  the  construction 
of  business  and  residential  properties  and  of  the  more  expensive  apart- 
ment  houses   to  the  exclusion   of    reasonably   priced   tenements. 

Meantime  the  congestion  among  the  masses  of  people  in  the  great 
cities,  and  particularly  in  the  City  of  New  York,  is  increasing  to 
such  an  extent  that  it  has  become  a  menace  to  the  lives,  health, 
morals  and  safety  of  the  entire  community.  In  many  districts  insurance  companies  the  right  to  invest  a  part  of  their  assets 
there  are  from  three  to  four  times  as  many  human  beings  housed  In 
the  same   number  of   cubic   feet    of    living   space   as  before   the   war. 

Such  is  the  condition  of  this  class  of  property  that  in  the  Borough 
of  Manhattan  alone  there  are  said  to  be  about  100.000  violations  against 
the  sanitary  and  building  laws  now  on  file  in  the  public  departments, 
upon    most    of    which    no   action    has    been    taken. 

The  congestion,  both  in  these  departments  and  In  the  courts  that 
have  to  deal  with  these  violations,  is  so  great  that  the  public  officials, 
notwithstanding  the  commendable  efforts  they  are  making,  are  swamped 
with   them   and   have   practically   been   unable   to  enforce   the    laws. 

Your  committee  is  satisfied  that  as  a  result  of  the  shortage  in  this 
class  of  living  accommodations,  the  lives  and  health  of  the  popula- 
tion of  the  City  of  New  York  are  in  grave  danger  from  the  results  of 
contagious  diseases,  apart  from  the  perils  that  lurk  in  the  unhealthful 
surroundings  which  the  poorer  classes  of  our  population  are  compelled 
to   live. 

-There  is  no  relief  in  sight  from  the  ordinary  activities  of  competitive 
building,  for  the  reasons  above  stated.  We  estimate  that  there  is  a 
shortage  of  about  80.000  apartments,  as  compared  with  the  normal 
supply  that  existed  in  the  years  preceding  the  war.  As  the  average 
apartment  of  this  class  was  formerly  occupied  by  five  persons,  the 
accommodations  required  to  remedy  this  shortage  would  be  for  about 
40,000   people    in    the    City   of    New    York. 

In  as  much  as  our  labors  are  still  far  from  completed  in  many  of 
the  ramifications  of  this  subject  upon  which  we  have  entered  and 
should  enter,  there  has  not  yet  been  the  time  or  opportunity  to 
examine  into  conditions  that  are  said  to  be  almost,  if  not  entirely, 
similar   in    other   cities   of   the   State. 

Unless  the  State  or  the  city,  assuming  that  either  can  secure  the 
necessary  constitutional  power,  will  undertake  to  supply  this  pressing 
need  (as  to  the  advisability  of  which  the  committee  expresses  no 
opinion  at  this  time),  the  only  way  we  see  in  which  the  necessary 
capital  may  be  promptly  secured  would  be  by  enlarging  the  powers  of 
investment  of  the  life  insurance  companies  so  as  to  permit  them  (but 
only  during  the  existence  of  this  emergency)  to  invest  a  small  pro- 
portion of  their  capital  in  the  constructions  of  this  class  of  buildings 
and  the  purchase  of  the  land  necessary  therefor,  subject  to  the  limi- 
tations contained  in  the  accompanying  proposed  amendment  to  the 
insurance  law. 

Your  committee  regards  this  form  of  investment  as  entirely  safe  for 
these  corporations  under  existing  conditions.  Our  investigations  have 
satisfied  us  that  if  the  work  of  construction  is  conducted  on  a  lar^e 
scale  by  the  buildings  of  units  of  square  blocks  at  one  time,  sub- 
stantial concessions  from  the  ruling  prices  of  labor  and  materials  can 
be  had  that  will  permit  of  the  construction  of  healthful  model  tene- 
mens,  in  good  neighborhoods,  adapted  to  the  use  of  families  of  work- 
men, mechanics,  laborers,  clerks  and  others  of  very  limited  incomes, 
at  rental  prices  of  not  to  exceed  from  .$S  to  $9  per  room,  and  still 
leave   tor   the   companies   safe   returns   of   6   per   cent,    upon   their   Invest- 


in  the  construction  of  dwellings,  he  intimated  that  he  was  not 
altogether  convinced  of  its  wisdom. 

The  measure.  Governor  Miller  said,  did  not  as  an  original 
plan  meet  with  his  approval,  but  it  might  prove  to  be  desirable 
in  view  of  the  existing  einergency. 

"Do  you  favor  Lockwood  committee's  bill  and  the  so-called 
Untermyer  building  plan?"  Governor  Miller  was  asked. 

"That  is  something  that  requires  very  careful  study,"  he 
replied.  "As  an  original  proposition  it  would  undoubtedly  be 
a  very  unwise  thing.  The  only  question  is  whether  it  will 
help  in  the  present  emergency  and  whether  it  would  be  justi- 
fied as  an  emergency  matter.  That  has  to  be  given  careful 
consideration." 

The  Governor's  attention  was  called  to  the  fact  that  one  of 
the  real  estate  bodies  held  the  plan  had  already  had  the  eflfect 
of  stopping  building  operations  because  of  fear  of  competing 
with  new  dwelling  construction  investors. 

"Well,"  he  said,  "the  class  of  buildings  that  that  was  aimed 
to  provide  for  according  to  my  information,  are  not  being  con- 
structed anyway.  In  other  words,  the  low  priced  tenement 
buildings  are  not  being  constructed,  as  I  understand  it,  and 
that  is  where  the  acute  shortage  is  now,  and  the  purpose  of 
this  is  to  stimulate  such  building. 

"Now,  whether  it  will  do  it  or  not,  whether  the  plan  is  sound 
or  not,  has  to  be  very  carefully  considered.  I  do  not  think  any 
one  would  think  it  wise  as  a  general  policy  to  permit  insurance 
companies  to  invest  in  that  fashion,  having  regard  solely  to 
the  security  of  the  funds  and  such  a  proposal  would  have  to 
be  justified  as  a  temporary  thing,  limited  very  carefully  in  its 
duration  to  provide  for  an  emergency." 


How  Rentals  Were  Increased  by  a  Few  Landlords 


BEFORE  winding  up  its  public  hearings  in  this  city 
previous  to  making  a  report  to  the  Legislature  the  Joint 
Legislature  Committee  on  Housing  again  on  January  27 
last  placed  witnesses  on  the  stand  to  confirm  previous  testi- 
mony that  professional  "leasters"  and  a  small  number  of  land- 
lords were  responsible  for  most  of  the  trouble  between  land- 
lords    and     tenants     which     resulted     in     the    outcry     against 


"profiteering"  and  brought  about  the  passage  of  the  new  rent 
laws.  The  committee's  accountant  reported  that  he  had  found 
accurate  the  accounts  of  John  P.  Burns,  clerk  of  the  Seventh 
District  Municipal  Court,  who  testified  recently  that  ten  land- 
lords in  that  district  were  responsible  for  thousands  of  land- 
lord and  tenant  cases.  Mr.  Burns  has  handled  $1,936,697  of

RECORD    AND    GUIDE 


February  4,  1922 


Metropolis   Gained   50,000    Living    Units  During   1921 

Report  of  Building  Trades  Employers'  Association,   Following  Exhaustive  Survey 
Shows  Housing  Crisis  Less  Acute  and  Rentals  Receding 

buildings      provided      accommodations      for     9,889 


CONCLUSIVE  evidence  that  the  local  housing  crisis  is 
far  less  acute  at  present  than  it  was  one  year  ago  is 
presented  in  the  report  of  the  exhaustive  survey  recently 
made  by  the  Building  Trades  Employers'  Association. 
Although  this  survey  was  not  fundamentally  an  analysis  of  the 
housing  situation  in  Greater  New  York,  but  rather  a  general 
investigation  into  conditions  in  the  building  industry,  author- 
ized by  the  employers  for  a  specific  purpose,  the  fact  that 
residential  construction  absolutely  dominated  the  entire  local 
building  field  during  the  past  twelve  months  made  it  natural 
that  it  should  have  developed  practically  into  a  valuable  com- 
mentary on  the  housing  situation. 

The  summary  of  this  report  indicates  a  condition  quite  dif- 
ferent in  many  respects  from  the  claims  presented  by  the 
Lockwood  Committee  and  others  in  regard  to  the  present 
housing  situation  in  New  York  City.  The  report  of  the  Em- 
ployers' Association  shows  that  the  past  year  was  one  of  the 
most  productive  in  local  building  history  when  residential  con- 
struction is  considered  and  that  because  of  the  vast  number  of 
living  accommodations  provided  the  housing  problem  of  the 
Metropolis,  while  admittedly  not  entirely  eliminated,  is  far 
less  critical  than  it  was,  and  that  already  rental  values  are 
reflecting  a  downward  trend  through  the  substantial  number 
of  new  habitations   available  for  occupancy. 

Claims  have  repeatedly  been  made  during  the  past  few 
weeks  that  this  city  is  still  short  approximately  80,000  dwell- 
ings for  the  accommodation  of  about  400,000  residents.  This 
statement  naturally  leads  to  the  question  whether  or  not  the 
claimants  of  this  great  home  shortage  have  taken  into  consid- 
eration the  fact  that  nearly  50,000  living  units,  providing  for 
about  250,000  persons,  were  provided  during  the  past  year. 
The  job-to-job  investigation  made  by  the  Employers'  Asso- 
ciation shows  that  in  round  numbers  this  amount  of  residential 
space  was  provided  by  builders  as  the  result  of  the  tremendous 
demand  and  the  favorable  provisions  of  the  Tax  Exemption 
ordinance.  The  report  further  shows  that  the  construction  of 
one  and  two-family  dwellings  in  the  outlying  districts  has 
reached  the  point  of  saturation,  hundreds  still  remaining  on 
the  market  for  sale  or  rent. 

The  survey  of  the  local  building  situation  started  last 
November  is  summarized  by  Secretary  Samuel  B.  Donnelly 
in  the  following  statement: 

"There  was  completed  between  April  1  and  December  31, 
1921,  in  the  entire  city:  Brick,  one-family  houses,  406;  brick, 
two-family  houses,  640;  frame,  one-family  houses,  2,046;  frame, 
two-family  houses.  337;  apartment  buildings,  210. 


"These 
families. 

"There  was  under  construction  on  January  1,  1922:  Brick, 
one-family  houses,  1,152;  brick,  two-family  houses,  1,728; 
frame,  one-family  houses,  5,877;  frame,  two-family  houses,  969; 
apartment  buildings,  838. 

"These  buildings  will  provide  accommodations  for  26,760 
families  and  when  completed  will  make  a  total  of  families  pro- 
vided for  since  April  1,  1921,  of  36,649. 

"An  estimate  ba»ed  upon  the  number  of  plans  filed  since 
January  1,  1922,  shows  that  buildings  upon  which  work  will 
be  started  between  January  1  and  April  1,  1922,  will  provide 
accommodations  for  10,000  additional  families,  and  the  work 
completed  prior  to  April  1,  1921,  to  which  the  tax  exemption 
law  will  apply,  will  bring  the  grand  total  of  families  provided 
for  under  the  tax  exemption  law  to  approximately  50,000. 

"Eighty  per  cent,  of  the  buildings  constructed  since  the 
lax  exemption  law  has  been  effective  are  located  in  the 
boroughs  of  The  Bronx,  Brooklyn  and  Queens.  The  average 
tax  rate  for  these  boroughs  for  the  year  1921  was  2.83.  Should 
this  be  the  average  tax  rate  for  the  ten-year  period  during 
which  the  tax  exemption  ordinance  will  be  in  effect  and  should 
the  average  assessed  valuation  upon  the  accommodations  pro- 
vided for  each  family  be  $4,000,  the  annual  amount  of  taxes  on 
accommodations  for  each  family,  from  the  collection  of  which 
the  owners  will  be  exempted,  will  amount  to  $113.20  per  an- 
num or  $1,132.00  for  the  ten  year  period. 

"The  total  amount  of  taxes,  the  collection  of  which  the  City 
of  New  York  will  waive,  will  amount  approximately  to  $56,- 
600,000,  which  sum  will  indirectly  be  contributed  by  the  tax 
payers  of  the  city  to  the  providing  of  additional  housing  accom- 
modations for  the  well-to-do. 

"The  house  building  boom  of  1921  in  the  commuting  area. 
composed  of  Nassau  and  Westchester  Counties,  New  York, 
and  Hudson,  Passaic,  Essex  and  Union  Counties,  New  Jersey, 
has  been  unprecedented  as  has  been  the  migration  of  city 
dwellers  to  these  counties. 

"The  effect  of  this  enormous  increase  in  housing  accommo- 
dations will  be  a  reduction  of  rent  for  all  classes  of  rent 
payers.  The  present  rate  of  $18.00  to  $25.00  a  room  in  the  new 
liuildings  is  now  declining  and  will  drop  to  a  rate  of  $15.00  to 
$20.00  a  room,  which  will  cause  a  migration  of  people  who  are 
now  paying  a  $15.00  and  $20.00  rate  for  less  desirable  habita- 
tions in  old  buildings,  and  effect  a  general  reduction  of  rents 
and  ultimately  result  in  an  enormous  quantity  of  vacancies  in 
the  older  apartments  and  tenements."

tenants  money  since  the  emergency  laws  were  passed. 

Harry  Goodstein,  president  of  the  West  Harlem  Property 
Owners'.  Association,  testified  that  the  houses  Nos.  204,  206. 
208,  210,  205,  207  and  209  West  118th  street  and  164  and  176  St. 
Nicholas  avenue  were  known  as  Garden  Court.  Goodstein  said 
that  his  association  learned  that  in  November,  1919,  Edward  W. 
Browning  bought  the  property  from  the  Central  Savings  Bank, 
investing  about  $60,000  in  cash  and  taking  a  mortgage  of 
$275,000.  Browning  immediately  increased  the  rent  from  $40  to 
$60  and  $65  on  the  promise  to  make  some  repairs.  There  were 
only  white  people  in  the  houses,  sorne  of  whom  had  lived  there 
fifteen  years.  Then  the  property  was  leased  to  Klein,  who 
demanded  $100  and  $125  of  the  tenants  for  their  apartments. 
The  tenants  refused  to  pay  and  Klein  was  defeated  in  the 
actions  he  brought  in  court. 

Then  Klein,  testified  Goodstein,  rented  the  apartments  to 
negro  families  after  the  Tenement  House  Department  had 
stopped  him  from  using  them  as  lodging  houses. 

Adolph  Koffel  of  the  Central  Savings  Bank,  which  sold  the 


property  to  Browning,  said  that  when  he  called  Browning's 
attention  to  Klein's  advertisement  for  negro  tenants  he  told 
Browning,  "Your  name  will  be  cursed  by  all  people  whom  you 
are  injuring,  hundreds  and  thousands  of  them,  perhaps." 

Browning  said,  "Well,  I  cannot  help  that." 

Arthur  V.  Seaman,  tenant  of  one  of  the  houses  for  thirteen 
years,  said  that  Klein  took  him  to  court  seven  times  and  lost 
each  time.     Klein  summoned  one  tenant  to  court  eleven  times. 

Dr.  Michael  J.  O'Brien,  of  101  West  122d  street,  said  that 
he  was  interested  in  St.  Thomas's  Church,  which  is  opposite 
Klein's  houses,  together  with  the  parochial  school  next  to  it, 
represented  an  investment  of  $1,250,000,  but  that  its  value  had 
depreciated  since  the  negroes  moved  in.  He  said  the  effect  of 
Klein's  action  had  frightened  the  entire  neighborhood  and  had 
caused  many  to  move. 

Klein  was  called  and  refused  to  sign  a  waiver  of  immunity 
from  criminal  prosecution.  He  was  asked  if  he  would  rather 
have  the  charges  against  him  go  unanswered.  "Yes,  sir,''  he 
said,  and  was  excused. 

Browning  also  appeared  and  refused  to  waive.

Review  of  Real  Estate  Market  for  the  Current  Week 

Sustained  Dealing  Brought  Forth  Some  Good  Corner  Parcels  Throughout  City 
and  Some  Large  Leases  Were  Closed  That  Spell  Increased  Values 

West  side  was  prominent  in  the  sale  of  properties  of  diversi- 
fied character.  An  old  and  large  bread-baking  firm  bought 
a  large  plot  in  the  Borough  Park  district  of  Brooklyn;  and 
probably  nothing  more  aptly  illustrates  the  spreading  out  of 
residential  area  within  a  generation  than  this  transaction.  It 
is  not  so  many  years  ago  that  this  concern  had  only  one 
plant  wherewith  to  supply  its  trade,  whereas  now  it  has 
baking  plants  as  large,  if  not  larger,  than  its  original  one 
in    Williamsburg,    scattered    through     three    boroughs. 

The  most  notable  lease  of  the  year  was  that  signed  Janu- 
ary 27,  by  Walter  J.  Salmon,  when  he  renewed  his  lease, 
for  20  years,  on  the  Bristol  building  and  adjacent  parcels  at 
the  northwest  corner  of  Fifth  avenue  and  42d  street,  at  a 
price  reputed  to  be  nearly  ten  times  as  much  as  the  price 
of  the  original  lease  made  twenty  years  ago.  Nothing  more 
strongly  illustrates  the  premiership  of  Fifth  avenue  as  a 
great  business  thoroughfare.  A  twelve-story  building,  further 
north  on  Fifth  avenue,  was  leased  by  the  Levi  P.  Morton 
estate,  owner.  Two  other  leases  in  the  Grand  Central  zone 
illustrate  the  northward  march  of  trade  in  this  city:  one 
being  the  removal  of  the  headquarters  of  a  prominent  desk 
and  oflPce  furniture  firm  from  Stone  street,  i'.i  the  lower 
Wall  street  section,  to  a  large  store  in  the  Canadian  Pacific 
building,  at  Madison  avenue  and  44th  street;  and  the 
cihtr  the  removal  of  the  executive  offices  of  a  large  chain 
nat  store  firm  to  a  building  in  42d  street,  near  the  Grand 
Centml  Terminal,  from  a  building  on  Broadway,  near  12th 
street. 


THE  real  estate  market,  this  week,  was  a  well-sustained 
continuation  of  that  of  the  week  before.  There  was  no 
immense  sale,  but  there  were  numerous  transactions 
that  bordered  on  large,  as  well  as  the  sale  of  numerous  fine 
dwellings,  tenement  houses  and  elevator  apartment  houses 
and  some  medium-sized  business  buildings.  An  investment 
feature  that  loomed  strong  was  the  sale  of  numerous  parcels 
to  tenants  of  them.     Good  leases  was  a  striking  feature,  too. 

The  big  sales  comprised  the  9-story  mercantile  building  at 
the  southeast  corner  of  Fifth  avenue  and  17th  street;  a  tract 
of  21  lots,  in  Harlem,  as  a  site  for  a  new  Public  School,  and 
another  large  plot  in  the  Tremont  section  of  the  Bronx  as  the 
site  for  another  Public  School;  the  southeast  corner  of 
Nassau  and  Fulton  streets,  an  8-story  business  building, 
and  a  corner  of  Fulton  and  Pearl  streets,  an  old  4-story  brick 
building;  some  large  apartment  houses  in  Harlem  and  on 
Washington  Heights;  some  good  East  side  avenue  sales  of 
tenement  houses  with  stores;  the  sale  of  some  loft  buildings 
on  Broadway,  between  Spring  and  Broome  streets;  numer- 
ous large  new  apartment  houses  in  the  Bronx;  some  large 
vacant  and  improved  parcels  in  Brooklyn;  and  a  few  good 
transactions  in  old  buildings  on  the  lower  East  side. 

The  number  of  sales  of  fine  dwellings  would  seem  to  in- 
dicate that  there  are  still  many  persons  who  prefer  private 
residences  to  choice  apartments.  The  vacant  land  move- 
ment in  the  Bronx  that  has  been  prevalent  for  a  long  time 
has  subsided  somewhat  and  the  speculation  and  inves'ment 
there,  just  now,  is  in  improved  properties  mostly.     The  lower

A  Family  Exchange 

Henry  D.  Greenwald  purchased  the  interest 
held  by  the  estate  of  his  late  brother.  Sigmund 
D.  Greenwald.  in  the  premises  at  the  northwest 
corner  of  St.  Nicholas  av  and  177th  st.  which 
is  a  6-sty  elevator  apartment  house  fronting  95 
feet  on  St.  Nicholas  av  and  100  feet  on  177th 
st ;  also,  501  West  ll.'ith  st,  which  is  a  5-sty 
elevator  apartment  house  at  the  northwest  cor- 
ner of  Amsterdam  av  and  ll.'ith  st,  fronting  50 
feet  on  the  av  and  100  feet  on  the  street  ;  also 
the  loft  building.  17.'!-175  East  87th  st  and  the 
loft  building.  1.560  Third  av.  These  premises 
were  held  at  $6.50,000. 

In  connection  with  the  transaction  Mr. 
Greenwald  sold  to  the  trustees  of  the  estate  of 
his  late  brother,  his  interest  in  the  premises  at 
the  northwest  corner  of  87th  st  and  Third  av 
known  as  177-179  East  .S7th  st ;  1.550-1556  Third 
av  ;  and.  also,  his  interest  in  the  premises.  3;/0- 
.'!24  East  49th  st,  the  latter  being  a  6-sty  tene-

Lecture  by  E.  P.  Doyle 

I.\'  his  address  made  at  the  West  Side  Y.  M. 
C.  A.  as  part  of  the  course  for  their  real  es- 
tate class.  Edward  P.  Doyle,  manager  of  the 
Bureau  of  Information  and  Research  of  the  Real 
Estate  Board  of  New  York,  sketched  the  progress 
of  this  country  for  a  hundred  years,  stating  that 
the  only  important  laws  passed  in  all  that  time 
affecting  real  estate  seriously  were  the  laws  to 
correct  abuses  in  New  York  State,  and  the  law 
giving  owners  the  right  of  summary  proceeding. 
The  rights  of  property  were  held  sacred  and  we 
w<M-e  a  home  owning  nation. 

In  about  1920.  he  said,  and  he  quoted  from  ex- 
President  Wilson's  History  of  the  United  States, 
the  character  of  immigration  changed.  Then 
began,  said  Mr.  Doyle,  the  invasion  of  property 
rights,  and  the  beginning  of  the  propaganda  that 
a  man  was  his  brother's  keeper,  and  that  it  was 
the  duty  of  the  thrifty  to  take  care  of  the  un- 
thrifty and  the  worthless.  Laws  were  con- 
stantly passed  to  make  living  easy   for  people. 

He  said  the  Tenement  House  Law  with  its 
absolutely  rigid  provisions,  was  the  flrst  im- 
portant act  of  this  character  passed.  The  pass- 
age of  this  act  was  the  beginning  of  a  situation 
which  finally  made  it  impossible  to  build  houses 
that  could  be  rented  at  a  profit  to  the  very  poor. 

Mr.    Doyle    then    said    that    other    laws    passed

regarding  real  estate  and  private  property  until 
the  cumulating  laws,  the  rent  laws  of  1920. 
These,  if  finally  confirmed  by  the  Supreme  Court 
of  the  United  States,  he  said,  would  entirely 
change  the  character  of  our  government  and  we 
would  no  longer  be  a  constitutional  republic,  but 
a  pure  democracy.  They  would  absolutely  dis- 
courage home  owning  today  in  the  United  States, 
Of  26,000.00(1  heads  of  families  in  the  United 
States  now.  only  12,000,000  own  their  own  homes. 
In  conclusion,  he  said,  that  the  only  thing  that 
could  solve  the  housing  problems  was  the  free 
operation  of  the  laws  of  supply  and  demand, 
and  the  Legislature  could  in  no  manner  aid.

Architectural    League    Opens    37th    Annual   Exhibition 

Unusually  Attractive  and  Interesting  Display  of  Architecture,  Painting,  Sculpture 

and  Craftsmanship  in  Fine  Arts  Building 


THE  thirty-seventh  annual  exhibition  of  the  Architec- 
tural League  of  New  York  formally  opened  Friday 
evening,  February  3,  in  the  Fine  Arts  Building,  215 
West  S7th  street.  At  the  opening  ceremonies  the  award  of 
medals  in  Architecture,  Painting,  Sculpture,  ;Landscape 
Architecture  and  Artistic  Craftsmanship  were  awarded  and 
an  address  was  made  by  Howard  Greenley,  president  of  the 
League.  The  program  for  this  exhibition  includes  the  usual 
reception  of  the  League  to  its  members  and  friends,  which 
will  take  place  Saturday  afternoon,  from  3  to  6  p.  m.,  and 
the  exhibition  will  be  open  to  the  public  from  Sunday,  Feb- 
ruary Sth,  to  Saturday,  March  4th,  between  1  and  10  p.  m. 

In  connection  with  these  opening  ceremonies  will  be  a 
Russian  folk-lore  fairy  story  pantomime,  "The  Princess  Who 
Never  Smiled."  This  is  a  very  naive  and  primitive  play 
carried  out  in  most  gorgeous  early  costumes,  specially  made 
by  the  various  members  of  the  League  in  conformity  with 
their  unique  pantomime  character.  The  part  of  the  Czar 
will  be  taken  by  Leo  Lentelli.  "The  Princess  Who  Never 
Smiled,"  by  Mrs.  H.  V.  B.  Magonigle.  Robert  Aitken  is 
the  Astrologer  and  S.  Dekosenko  takes  the  part  of  the 
Bear.  Special  music  has  been  adopted  for  the  story  by  Miss 
Wright   from   the   works   of   Holland's   Sumurun. 

The  Exhibition  this  year  is  being  arranged  by  a  Commit- 
tee headed  by  Harvey  W.  Corbett,  and  will  occupy  the  three 
large  galleries,  and  will  comprise  architectural  designs,  paint- 
ings and  architectural  works  and  exhibitions  of  the  Allied 
Arts  and  Crafts,  Mural  paintings,  sculpture,  tapestry,  orna- 
mental iron  work,  stained  glass,  and  in  fact  all  other  archi- 
tectural accessories  that  fittingly  appear  in  such  an  exhibi- 
tion. This  year  a  particularly  wide  range  is  covered,  and  to 
illustrate  the  work  a  number  of  models  have  also  been 
submitted. 

The  War's  activities  have  caused  a  number  of  proposed 
Memorials  to  be  exhibited,  the  largest  of  which  is  "The 
Harkness  Memorial  Group"  at  Yale,  by  James  Gamble  Rogers. 
Another  is,  "The  Liberty  War  Memorial,"  at  Kansas  City, 
the  designs  of  which  are  by  H.  V.  B.  Magonigle.  Among 
some  of  the  other  architectural  works  which  are  quite  prom- 
inently displayed  are  the  drawings  of  the  Nebraska  State 
Capitol  by  Bertram  G.  Goodhue,  a  very  interesting  example 
of  Church  architecture,  by  Helmle  &  Corbett,  the  Seaboard 
National  Bank,  New  York,  by  Alfred  C.  Bossom,  the  main 
entrance  of  the  Detroit  Public  Library,  by  Cass  Gilbert,  and 
the  North  Entrance  of  the  Ohio  Stadium,  the  Ohio  State 
University  at   Columbus,  by   George   Dwight   Smith,  etc. 

The  decorative  painters  are  quite  well  represented  and 
the  works  of  Mack  Jenney  &  Tyler  are  very  prominently  il- 
lustrated, and  the  designs  worked  out.  Mr.  Leon  V.  Solon 
in  connection  with  decorative  tile  work,  form  quite  a  new 
and   interesting  note. 

Also  photographs  are  shown  of  the  interior  of  the  Cunard 
Building  with  its  wonderfully  colored  ceiling,  executed  by 
Ezra  Winter. 

Among  some  of  the  sculptors  whose  work  should  be  of 
considerable  interest  to  visitors  are  specimens  by  Robert 
Aitken,  Leo  Lentelli,  Charles  Carey  Rumsey,  C.  E.  Jenne- 
wein,    Emil    Fuchs    and    others. 

The  League's  policy  of  bringing  the  architect  to  the  crafts- 
man, and  the  craftsman   to  the  architect,  so  as  to  insure  the 


very  best  result  for  the  general  public,  due  to  having  the 
spirit  behind  the  architectural  conception  interpreted  intel- 
ligently by  all  those  who  enter  into  the  work,  is  bringing 
about  very  considerable  response  among  the  various  trades- 
men. 

Several  years  ago  the  Architectural  League  increased  the  scope 
of  its  exhibition  by  inviting  the  various  crafts  identified  with  the 
decoration  and  equipment  of  high  class  projects  to  participate.  It 
was  thought  that  a  closer  co-operaton  between  the  manufacturers 
of  fabrics,  furniture,  floor  coverings  and  all  of  the  other  examples 
of  artistic  craftsmanship  that  are  commonly  employed  to  add 
comfort  and  beauty,  and  the  architects  who  design  the  buildings 
in  which  they  are  used,  would  be  mutually  beneficial.  The  League 
ofifered  a  medal  in  Artistic  Craftsmanship  as  a  reward  for  the 
maximum  of  progress  in  design  and  workmanship.  The  experiment 
was  a  complete  success  and  each  succeeding  year  has  witnessed  a 
greater  interest  on  the  part  of  manufacturers  and  dealers  to 
co-operate  more  fully  with  the  architects,  sculptors  and  painters  in 
their  effort  to  give  a  wider  scope  to  the  annual  expositions  of  the 
Architectural  League  and  give  it  a  greater  appeal  to  the  public 
which  is  growing  constantly  more  appreciative  of  art  and  beauty  in 
their  buildings. 

The  1922  Exhibition  of  the  League  is  unusually  attractive  because 
of  the  increasing  interest  in  artistic  craftsmanship.  A  large  num- 
ber of  manufacturers  have  joined  with  the  League  to  make  this 
37th  annual  exposition  epochal  in  the  history  of  the  organization. 
Interesting  displays  of  furniture,  beautiful  fabrics,  rare  pottery, 
etc.,  have  been  combined  in  artistic  groups  and  the  result  is  most 
pleasing  and  instructive. 

The  architectural  showing  embraces  a  wide  range,  from 
models  of  country  club  buildings,  with  parking  sheds  for 
motors,  to  designs  of  country  villas,  city  skyscrapers  and 
railroad  freight  terminals.  The  designs  have  been  sub- 
mitted by  architects  in  all  parts  of  the  country  and  com- 
prise work  completed  or  planned  during  the  past  year  which 
has  not  heretofore   been   shown. 

The  exhibition  at  the  Metropolitan  Museum  of  Industrial 
Art,  which  at  the  present  time  is  going  on,  is  carried  out 
along  the  same  lines  and  shows  there  is  a  real  demand  for 
this  type  of  exhibition  among  interested  parties.  Many  of 
the  great  designs  in  the  past  have  been  ruined  when  the 
execution  has  not  been  carried  out  in  sympathy  and  harmony 
with  the  Architect's  intention,  and  the  more  mutual  interest 
and  co-operation  that  can  be  created  between  the  one  who 
designs  the  building  on  paper  and  those  who  create  it  in  the 
three  dimensions,  the  better  it  will  be  for  the  architecture 
of   America. 


TOTAL    building   contracts    awarded    in    New   York    City 
(five  boroughs)  during  the  month  of  January,  according 
to  The  F.  W.  Dodge  Company,  amounted  to  $33,460,500. 
This  is  more  than  four  times  the  amount  for  January,  1921. 

Although  this  January  was  25  per  cent,  under  the  preceding 
month,  the  decline  representing  a  somewhat  delayed  seasonal 
drop  in  activity,  its  total  was  equal  to  the  average  monthly 
total  for  last  year.  This  ought  to  be  an  indication  of  an  in- 
creased volume  of  construction  this  year. 

Residential  construction  continues  as  the  dominant  factor 
in  the  situation,  having  amounted  in  January  to  $24,537,700, 
or  IZ  per  cent,  of  the  total  volume  of  building  operations.

Another   Hostelry   Planned   for   Times   Square  District 

American  Bond  &  Mortgage  Company  Underwrites  $1,500,000  Bond  Issue  on 
Fifteen-Story  Hotel  Claman  in  Forty-third  Street 


PROMINENT  in  the  group  of  large  building  projects 
scheduled  for  erection  in  the  Times  Square  district  dur- 
ing the  coming  year  is  the  fifteen-story  hotel  planned  to 
occupy  a  large  plot  at  the  northeast  corner  of  Eighth  avenue 
and  43d  street.  This  hotel  will  be  constructed  by  a  syndicate, 
headed  by  Henry  Claman,  which  purchased  the  property 
from  the  Christman  estate  in  March,  1920.  Gronenberg 
&Leuchtag,  the  architects  who  are  preparing  the  plans 
and  specifications,  estimate  the  cost  of  the  structure  to 
be  approximately  $1,500,000,  and,  with  the  value  of  the 
land  included,  the  operation  will  represent  an  investment 
of  about  $2,500,000. 

This  new  hostelry  will  be  known  as  the  Hotel  Claman, 
after  Mr.  Claman,  who  has  built  and  operated  apart- 
ments and  apartment  hotels  in  this  section  of  New  York 
City  during  the  past  twelve  years.  The  project  has  been 
financed  by  the  American  Bond  &  Mortgage  Company, 
which  has  underwritten  a  7H  per  cent,  serial  bond  issue 
for  $1,500,000  on  tht  land  and  building. 

Th  construction  of  this  hotel  is  the  result  of  the  real 
need  for  such  accommodations  as  it  will  supply,  as  well 
as  the  long  experience  of  the  owner  in  building  and 
managing  similar  properties.  There  are  many  small 
hotels  in  this  neighborhood  with  twenty  to  two  hundred 
rooms,  the  majority  centered  within  a  radius  of  a  few 
blocks,  and  they  seldom  have  a  vacancy,  and  usually 
have  a  waiting  list.  The  builders  calculate  that  rentals 
in  the  Hotel  Claman  will  range  from  $9  to  $14  per  week, 
and  therefore  should  appeal  strongly  to  the  city's 
bachelors,  as  this  hotel  will  be  exclusively  for  men. 

The  plans  call  for  twelve  stores  on  the  ground  floor, 
and  there  will  be  875  bedrooms,  460  with  baths  con- 
nected; 68  independent  baths  and  showers,  commodious 
lounge  and  reading  rooms  all  completely  furnished  with 
equipment  necessary  for  the  operation  of  a  modern 
hotel.  A  gymnasium,  66x70  feet,  for  the  use  of  the 
guests  will  be  located  in  the  penthouse  on  the  roof, 
and  there  will  be  a  large  swimming  pool  in  the  base- 
ment. 

In  discussing  this  project,  Henry  Claman  said  that  the 
site  fo  rthe  hotel  had  been  selected  after  considerable 
investigation  as  to  the  best  possible  location  for  a 
hostelry  of  this  type. 


"Times  Square,  which  is  only  one  block  from  the  property,  is 
one  of  the  busiest  theatrical  and  business  sections  in  the  city," 
said  Mr.  Claman,  "and  it  is  one  of  the  few  districts  in  New 
York  City  where  business  is  carried  on  uninterruptedly  for 
almost  twenty-four  hours  each  day."

PROPOSED  HOTEL  CLAMAN  IN  TIMES  SQUARE  DISTRICT 


Brooklyn  Real  Estate  Board  Holds  Annual  Banquet 


PRESIDING  at  the  seventh  annual  banquet  of  the  Brooklyn 
Real  Estate  Board,  at  the  Hotel  Bossert,  Brooklyn,  last 
Saturday  evening.  President  James  B.  Fisher  of  that 
organization  prefaced  his  opening  address  by  quoting  almost 
in  its  entirety  the  editorial  which  appeared  in  the  Record 
and  Guide  of  January  21,  entitled  "Emergency  Laws  vs. 
Economic  Laws,"  and  said  that  it  was  "one  of  the  most  concise 
and  accurate  statements  in  relation  to  the  subject  that  has 
attracted  by  notice  anywhere."  The  sentiments  expressed  in 
the  article  were  enthusiastically  applauded. 

Continuing,  Air.  Fisher  said:  "There  is  every  indication  that 
real  estate  is  coming  out  of  the  maelstrom  of  unjust  rent  laws, 
increased  taxes  and  boosted  assessments  in  which  it  has  been 
surging  the  last  few  years.  No  other  stable  security  ever 
weathered  such  a  storm  and  no  other  security  could  weather 
such  a  storm.  It  is  another  testimonial  to  that  ancient  doc- 
trine, the  survival  of  the  fittest. 

The  banquet  was  the  largest  ever  held  by  the  Brooklyn 
Board,  and  it  was  attended  by  nearly  every  real  estate  broker, 
manager,  builder  and  title  company  official  in  Brooklyn.  De- 
spite the  fact  that  a  snowstorm  was  raging  at  the  hour  set  for 
the  banquet,  fifty  more  guests  arrived  than  were  expected.  The 
menu  was  illustrated  with  the  site  of  the  Bush  Terminal,  on 


South  Brooklyn's  waterfront,  showing  it  as  it  looked  twenty- 
five  years  ago  and  as  it  looks  now.  The  principal  speakers  of 
the  evening  were  Edward  C.  Stokes,  formerly  Governor  of 
New  Jersey,  who  discussed  "Individualism  as  the  Source  of 
Progress,"  and  the  Rev.  C.  Wallace  Petty,  D.  D.,  of  Manhat- 
tan, who  responded  to  the  toast,  "Everyday  Philosophy."  An 
original  song  of  fourteen  verses  rendered  by  the  diners  con- 
tained happy  hits  at  various  prominent  Brooklyn  brokers. 

Among  those  present  were  H.  W.  Ackerson,  Stephen  L. 
Angell.  Frank  Bailey,  Homer  L.  Bartlett,  Albert  Beer,  Louis 
Beer,  De  Hart  Bergen,  C.  D.  Burdick,  William  R.  Burling, 
Richard  T.  Childs,  Charles  E.  Covert,  President  of  the  United 
States  Title  Guaranty  Company;  William  H.  Goldey,  William 
E.  Greenman,  William  M.  Greve,  Arthur  B.  Gritman,  John  E. 
Henry,  Arthur  J.  Horton,  George  S.  Horton,  Clifford  S.  Kelsey, 
H.  B.  Lyons,  Thomas  F.  Martin,  Joseph  M.  May,  George  H. 
Gray,  Edwin  P.  Maynard,  President  of  the  Brooklyn  Trust 
Company;  William  G.  Morrisey,  A.  J.  Murphy,  George  H. 
Ohnewald,  Lewis  H.  Pounds,  William  P.  Rae,  Charles  E.  Rick- 
erson,  Granville  H.  Rome,  John  E.  Rutson,  William  H.  Robbins,

Plans  in  Progress  Indicate  Busy  Spring  Building  Season 

statistics  Tabulated  by  F.  W.   Dodge   Company  Sliow  Increasing  Interest  in 
Residential  Operations  Scheduled  for  Early  Start 


RECORDS  of  proposed  construction  in  the  New  York 
territory,  as  tabulated  by  the  F.  W.  Dodge  Company, 
show  that  a  vast  amount  of  new  building  will  be  under- 
taken during  the  coming  spring  and  summer  months.  The  re- 
ports of  the  first  four  weeks  of  the  new  year  indicate  an  even 
greater  amount  of  building  activity  than  that  which  marked 
1921,  which  from  a  construction  viewpoint  was  an  extremely 
active  period  in  this  part  of  the  country. 

The  report  for  the  fourth  week  of  1922  shows  that  plans  were 
reported  in  progress  for  379  new  building  and  engineering 
operations  all  scheduled  for  locations  in  New  York  State  and 
New  Jersey,  north  of  Trenton.  This  work  will  involve  an 
outlay  of  approximately  $13,318,000.  During  the  same  period 
contracts  were  awarded  in  this  territory  for  240  projects  at  an 
estimated  total  valuation  of  $14,182,800. 

Although  there  is  a  steady  and  consistent  increase  in  the 
volume  of  commercial  and  industrial  construction  appearing 
on  the  building  program  for  the  coming  season  residential 
projects  continue  to  dominate  the  situation,  according  to  the 
figures.  The  past  few  weeks  has  brought  out  plans  for  a  great 
number  of  large  apartment  house  projects  in  New  York  City, 


and  reports  from  the  suburban  districts  indicate  a  great  interest 
in  small  house  construction. 

The  weekly  report  shows  that  the  list  of  379  proposed  opera- 
tions is  grouped  as  follows:  56  business  operations,  such  as 
stores,  offices,  lofts,  commercial  garages,  etc.,  $3,192,000;  5 
educational  projects,  $145,600;  9  factory  and  industrial  build- 
ings, $277,000;  1  military  structure,  $10,000;  5  public  buildings, 
$98,500;  11  public  works  and  public  utilities,  $953,200;  8  re- 
ligious and  memorial  projects,  $247,500;  278  residential  opera- 
tions, including  apartments,  flats  and  tenements  and  one  and 
two-family  dwellings,  $7,915,000,  and  6  social  and  recreational 
projects,  $480,000. 

Among  the  240  operations  for  which  contracts  were  awarded 
during  the  week  of  January  21  to  27  inclusive,  were  34  business 
projects  of  various  types,  $1,157,000;  2  educational  buildings, 
$350,000;  1  hospital,  $15,000;  8  factory  and  industrial  buildings, 
$3,095,800;  2  public  buildings,  $28,500;  4  pubHc  works  and 
public  utilities,  $10,500;  2  religious  and  memorial  structures, 
$129,000;  186  residential  operations,  including  multi-family 
structures  and  one  and  two-family  dwellings,  $9,377,000,  and  1 
social  and  recreational  project,  $20,000.

prospective  builders  but  the  recent  com- 
mitments will  be  relatively  insignificant 
when  compared  with  those  likely  to  be 
made  as  soon  as  conditions  are  more  set- 
tled. The  labor  problem  is  one  of  the 
most  important  retardants  at  present 
and  an  early  solution  will  do  more  to 
assist  the  construction  industry  in  get- 
ting back  to  a  normal  basis  than  any 
other  single   factor. 

Reports  from  the  territory  adjacent  to 
Greater  New  York  are  indicative  of  an 
unusually  active  suburban  building  sea- 
son. Architects  and  engineers  have  been 
especially  busy  on  the  preparation  of 
plans  for  new  construction  and  several 
operations  of  considerable  magnitude  are 
on  the  program  for  the  early  spring. 
There  is  quite  some  interest  being  dis- 
played in  industrial  construction  in  the 
manufacturing  centers  contiguous  to 
New  York  City  and  the  current  reports 
show  that  preparations  are  being  made, 
tor  an  unusual  amount  of  residential 
building   to    be   undertaken   next   season. 

The  local  building  material  markets 
have  been  quite  dull  during  the  past  few 
weeks  but  this  is  largely  attributable  to 
weather  conditions  rather  than  to  a  lack 
of  demand  or  interest  in  construction. 
The  slippery  streets  have  made  material 
hauling  difficult  and  outside  work  on  new 
projects  has  been  prevented  because  of 
the  cold.  The  outlook  is  promising  and 
within  the  next  few  weeks  local  dealers 
are  confident  that  a  decided  change  for 
the  better  will  occur.  Building  material 
prices  are  firm  in  practically  all  lines  and 
in  some  instances  there  has  recently  been 
a  very  decided  tightening  of  prices  with 
several   advances   noted. 

Conuiion  Brick — Business  in  the  New 
York  market  for  Hudson  River  common 
brick  has  been  almost  negligible  during 
the  past  week  and  although  the  outlook 
is  fairly  promising  brick  manufacturers 
do  not  anticipate  any  real  revival  of 
business  until  the  spring  building  season 
starts.  There  appears  to  be  a  vast  amount 
of  new  construction  getting  ready  for 
active  work  during  the  early  spring 
months  and  a  number  of  inquiries  for 
brick  and  other  materials  in  substantial 
orders  have  lately  been  presented. 
Business  in  the  local  wholesale  brick 
market     this    week     was    confined    to    the 


sale  of  a  single  barge  load  at  $17  a 
thousand  for  delivery  in  Manhattan.  The 
price  is  holding  firmly  at  $17  and  no  re- 
duction is  likely  until  the  Hudson  River 
is  again  open  to  navigation.  Brick  man- 
ufacturers are  now  making  their  prelim- 
inary plans  for  next  season's  operations. 
The  big  question  in  their  minds  at  pres- 
ent is  labor;  will  it  be  available  in  suf- 
ficient volume  and  what  wages  will  be 
demanded?  According  to  the  rate  new 
building  projects  are  being  reported  there 
is  likely  to  be  an  unusual  demand  for 
brick     and     other     basic     materials     and 


manufacturers  are  looking  forward  to  a 
season  of  greater  production  than  those 
of   the   past   few   years.

able  activity  in  this  line  and  dealers  an- 
ticipate a  steady  increase  in  business  as 
the  outlook  for  an  unusual  amount  of  new 
construction  is  now  very  promising. 
According  to  the  plans  in  progress  the 
spring  and  summer  of  1922  should  be  a 
notable  period  in  local  building  history 
for  the  number  and  value  of  active  build- 
ing projects.  At  present  hardware  prices 
are  steady  and  no  changes  of  importance 
are   anticipated. 

Structural  Steel — Business  in  the  fabri- 
cated steel  market  has  been  more  than 
fair    during   the    past    week    and    there    is 


every  reason  to  expect  that  the  improve- 
ment recently  shown  will  continue.  A 
number  of  important  projects  have  been 
let  within  the  past  few  weeks  and  their 
steel  requirements  will  involve  a  very 
substantial  total  tonnage.  Several  other 
large  operations  are  pending  and  the  an- 
nouncement of  commitments  for  steel  for 
these  will  add  materially  to  the  stability 
of  this  market.  There  has  lately  been 
noticeable  a  trend  toward  slightly  ad- 
vanced prices  in  this  line  and  contractors' 
quotations  on  structural  steel,  fabricated 
and   erected   in   commercial    projects   gen-

Electrical  Supplies — The  market  for 
electrical  materials  and  supplies  is  quiet 
with  demand  for  wiring  materials  mod- 
erate and  other  items  moving  slowly. 
Little  change  in  the  outlook  has  been 
noted,  however,  and  as  a  rule  the  trade  is 
optimistic  about  the  prospects  for  spring 
business.  The  reports  of  a  large  amount 
of  new  construction  soon  to  be  released 
coupled  with  the  fact  that  residential 
construction  next  season  will  in  all  prob- 
ability surpass  that  of  1921  gives  both 
manufacturers  and  dealers  every  reason 
to  anticipate  a  real  revival  in  their  line 
during  the  coming  months.  Electrical 
material  prices  are  generally  Arm  and  no 
changes  of  importance  have  been 
announced. 

Cast  Iron  Pipe — Trade  in  this  line  is 
generally  considered  satisfactory  for  this 
period  of  the  year.  As  a  matter  of  fact 
the  manufacturers  of  cast  iron  pipe  for 
the  most  part  have  substantial  orders 
ahead  and  the  outlook  is  more  than  prom- 
ising. Although  new  muinicipal  business 
is  lacking  at  present  several  projects  of 
more  than  usual  importance  are  likely  to 
be  released  for  bids  shortly  and  private 
buying  is  in  good  volume  and  inquiries 
steadily  gaining  in  number  and  total  ton- 
nage. Prices  are  steady  and  unchanged 
with  New  York  quotations  $47.30  per  net 
ton,  in  carload  lots  for  6  in.  and  heavier; 
$52.30  for  4  in.  and  5  in.;  $62.30  for  3  in., 
and  $4  extra  per  ton  for  Class  A  and  gas 
pipe. 

Window  Glass — Just  at  the  moment  the 
market  for  window  glass  is  dull  but  there 
are  strong  signs  that  a  new  buying 
movement  is  not  far  off.  Quite  some  new 
construction  is  nearing  the  final  stages 
of  completion  and  the  glass  requirements 
of  these  projects  will  amount  to  a  satis- 
factory total.  There  is  every  indication 
of  a  tremendous  apartment  house  building 
movement  during  the  coming  season  and 
when  the  glass  requirements  of  this  work 
is  added  to  the  commercial  and  other 
building  on  the  program  there  is  reason 
for  this  market  to  be  extremely  optimistic. 
Glass  prices  are  somewhat  easier  than 
they  have  been  but  are  expected  to  tighten 
up  as  the  demand  grows  in  strength: 

NniLs — Market  conditions  are  practically 
unchanged  with  demand  fair  and  pros- 
pects of  greatly  increased  business  dur- 
ing the  spring  and  summer  months. 
Jobbers  are  now  mostly  concerned  with 
getting  their  stocks  in  order  for  the  early 
spring  buying.  Prices  are  firm  with  New 
York  quotations  $3.25  base  per  keg  for 
wire  nails  and  $4.25  base  per  keg,  for 
cut    nails.

RECORD     AND     GUIDE

If  No  Repeal,  Then  Revision 

The  most  reliable  information  obtainable  at  Albany  indi- 
cates that  the  Legislature  will  extend  for  another  year  the 
Emergency  Rent  Laws.  Governor  Miller  is  imderstood  to 
favor  such  action.  In  fact,  the  Governor  frankly  declared 
at  the  annual  dinner  of  the  Real  Estate  Board  of  New  York 
last  Saturday  evening  that  the  realty  interests  in  the  met- 
ropolis might  as  well  reconcile  themselves  to  at  least  one 
more  year  of  difficulties  under  these  emergency  measures. 
The  Record  and  Guide  opposed  the  enactment  of  the 
Emergency  Rent  Laws  in  the  beginning,  believing  them 
unjust  to  property  owners  and  a  positive  deterrent,  rather 
than  an  aid,  in  the  solution  of  the  housing  shortage.  The 
developments  since  these  laws  were  enacted  amply  justify 
that  position.  There  is  sound  basis  for  the  belief  that  the 
sooner  these  emergency  laws  are  dropped  the  better  it  will 
be  for  all  concerned. 

Inasmuch  as  this  view  is  not  accepted  by  the  Governor 
and  the  Legislature,  however,  it  would  seem  the  part  of  wis- 
dom for  all  interested  to  devote  their  efiforts  to  obtaining  a 
reasonable  modification  of  these  laws.  The  Record  and 
Guide  has  opposed  these  emergency  measures  consistently 
because  of  the  fact  that  they  do  not  differentiate  between 
the  reputable,  fair-dealing  landlords  and  the  fly-by-night 
profiteers  who  have  no  legitimate  connection  with  the  busi- 
ness and  who,  turning  their  attention  to  it  temporarily, 
have  been  guilty  of  most  reprehensible  tactics.  The  great 
majority  of  New  York  landlords  are  reputable  and  square 
dealing,  and  it  is  grossly  unfair  that  they  should  be  made  to 
sufifer  for  the  indefensible  actions  of  a  small  minority  of 
temporary  landlords  who  were  not  in  the  business  before 
the  housing  shortage  arose  and  who  will  not  be  in  the  busi- 
ness when  the  opportunity  for  profiteering  has  passed.  This 
is  a  vital  statement  of  facts  which  has  been  ignored  per- 
sistently at  Albany,  and  one  to  which  Governor  Miller  and 
the  Legislature  should  give  thoughtful  consideration  before 
they  extend  the  Emergency  rent  Laws,  especially  in  pres- 
ent form,  for  another  year.  They  have  only  to  consult 
the  testimony  taken  by  the  Lockwood  Committee  to  verify 
the  fact  that  professional  leasters  and  a  small  number  of 
landlords  have  been  responsible  for  most  of  the  complaints 
of  profiteering  which  have  arisen. 

The  Governor  and  the  Legislature  should  not  confine 
their  solicitude  to  one  class.  The  legitimate  property-own- 
ers of  the  metropolis,  the  great  bulk  of  New  York  land- 
lords against  whom  charges  of  profiteering  never  have  been 
sustained  and  cannot  be  sustained,  should  get  at  Albany 
this  year  some  approach  to  the  square  deal  of  which  they 
have  been  deprived  since  the  Legislature  began  its  experi- 
ment of  substituting  half-baked  theories  for  the  immutable 
laws  of  su])ply  and  demand.  From  the  Real  Estate  Board 
of  New  York  and  from  other  authorities  who  have  made  a 
careful  study  of  the  subject  the  Legislature  can  get  some 
timely  and  sound  suggestions  to  make  the  Emergency  Rent 
Laws  more  effective,  easier  of  enforcement,  less  confusing 
to  both  landlords  and  tenants  and  fairer  in  many  respects. 
By  adopting  these  suggestions,  making  them  a  part  of  the 


1922  statues,  the  lawmakers  can  go  quite  a  way  toward 
making  tolerable  for  another  year  emergency  measures 
which  hitherto  have  been  almost  intolerable. 


.January  Building  Awards  Significant 

January  construction  commitments,  as  compiled  by  the  F. 
W.  Dodge  Company  show  a  gain  of  approximately  fifty 
per  cent,  when  compared  with  the  total  for  the  corresponding 
month  of  last  year,  and  are  the  best  indication  that  the  re- 
peated predictions  of  a  very  extensive  building  movement 
to  start  during  1922  were  firmly  founded  in  fact.  The 
building  records  of  1921  show  a  gradual  and  consistent  gain 
throughout  the  year  and,  although  during  the  final  quarter 
of  1921  the  totals  indicated  a  slight  decline  in  the  volume  of 
commitments,  it  was  nothing  more  than  a  seasonal  drop 
which  every  one  identified  with  the  building  industry  was 
able  to  understand  and  allow  for.  The  steady  improve- 
ment in  the  monthly  totals  of  last  year,  however,  permitted 
the  prediction  that  the  coming  season  would  witness  a  re- 
vival of  building  activity  throughout  the  country  amotmting 
to  boom  proportions,  and  the  totals  for  the  first  month  of 
1922  adequately  bear  out  these  optimistic  opinions. 

The  building  totals  for  January,  1922  argue  most  favor- 
ably for  the  contracting  interests  in  the  United  States. 
There  is  now  no  qualified  reason  for  anticipating  anything 
but  a  consistent  gain  during  the  coming  months  in  both 
the  volume  of  new  work  planned  and  new  contracts  award- 
ed. The  country  is  still  underbuilt  as  far  as  the  actual 
requirements  are  concerned,  with  demand  greater  than  the 
supply  in  both  housing  and  commercial  projects.  As  the 
national  building  material  markets  are  now  in  a  favorable 
position,  with  price  levels  practically  stabilized  and  ade- 
quate reserves  assured  for  any  emergency,  no  anxiety  is 
felt  as  the  success  of  the  national  construction  program  for 
1922. 

The  building  figures  for  the  New  York  territory  for 
January  are  even  more  significant  than  those  for  the  entire 
territory  covered  by  the  F.  W.  Dodge  Company,  which  in- 
cludes the  twenty-seven  Northeastern  States.  The  local 
figures  show  that  the  January,  1922  commitments  for  new 
construction  were  nearly  two  and  one-half  times  greater 
than  the  total  for  the  same  period  of  last  year.  The  tre- 
mendous local  interest  in  residential  construction,  plus  the 
constantly  increasing  amount  of  commercial  and  industrial 
building  activity  being  planned,  is  entirely  responsible  for 
the  improvement  shown  by  the  January  totals.  Although 
the  Metropolitan  District  has  several  important  problems 
that  must  be  worked  out  before  complete  success  is  assured 
for  the  coming  building  season,  there  remains  but  little 
doubt  that  the  adverse  conditions  will  be  adjusted  in  time 
to  permit  local  building  interests  to  avail  themselves  of 
the  prosperity  promised  by  the  recorded  commitments. 

At  present  serious  drawback  to  local  construction  prog- 
ress and  prosperity  is  the  deadlock  between  employers  and 
labor  representatives  over  the  matter  of  wage  scale  read- 
justments. With  the  exception  of  labor,  the  entire  building 
fraternity  is  convinced  that  war-time  wages  are,  and  will 


166 


RECORD    AND     GUIDE 


February  11,  1922 


be,  an  insurmountable  bar  to  the  maximum  of  progress 
this  year,  and  that  ahhough  a  large  proportion  of  the  work 
now  scheduled  will  proceed  despite  extortionate  labor  costs, 
the  prospects  for  a  real  building  boom  would  be  manifestly 
improved  if  the  attitude  of  labor  were  more  reasonable  re- 
garding a  moderate  reduction  in  wages. 


Home  Rule  by  Way  of  Florida 

These  seem  indeed  hard  days  for  that  noble  bulwark  of 
our  municipal  liberties.  Home  Rule.  Mayor  Hylan  is  ac- 
cused by  his  poHtical  critics  of  using  the  long-distance  tele- 
phone to  direct  various  city  matters  from  Florida,  and 
Samuel  Untermyer  is  frankly  engaged  in  writing  amid 
Florida  scenes  the  report  which  the  Lockwood  Committee 
will  submit  to  the  Legislature  in  a  few  days.  Thus,  it  ap- 
pears, the  metropolis  is  getting  Home  Rule  in  various 
important  matters  by  way  of  Florida,  which,  as  every 
student  of  distance  knows,  hes  much  farther  from  Broad- 
way than  even  Albany  itself. 

Members  of  the  Lockwood  Committee  undoubtedlv  are 


quite  as  curious  as  the  average  New  Yorker  to  learn  what 
Mr.  U;itermyer  will  say  in  the  report  to  the  Legislature 
which  they  will  have  an  opportunity  to  sign  after  Mr.  Unter- 
myer has  it  ready.  Senator  Lockwood  and  his  associates 
would  seem  justified  in  expecting  that  the  recommendations 
of_  their  Chief  Counsel  may  lack  some  of  tlie  harshness 
Vv'hich  often  characterzes  his  public  statements  in  view  of 
the  fact  that  Mr.  Untermyer  is  performing  this  work  on 
board  the  Houseboat  Nirodha,  cruising  in  the  vicinity  of 
Palm  Beach.  A  committee  report  prepared  in  such  charm- 
ing surroundings  certainly  ought  to  exude  the  spirit  of  con- 
tentment and  good-will  which  only  those  fortunate  enough 
to  spend  the  cold  season  in  Florida  can  feel. 

Under  the  circumstances,  the  members  of  the  Lockwood 
Committee,  toiling  at  their  other  tasks  in  Albany,  may  be 
pardoned  if  their  minds  wander  occasionally  down  to  the 
balmy  coast  of  Florida.  It  is  only  human  nature  for  them 
to  speculate  as  to  whether  all  is  well  on  the  Houseboat 
Nirodha,  and  whether  their  Chief  Counsel  is  in  good  health 
and  getting  along  all  right  with  the  task  of  writing  their 
report  for  them. 


Real  Estate  Board  Proposes  Amendments  to  Rent  Laws 


BELIEVING  that  the  necessity  for  the  rigid  application  of 
the  rent  laws  to  apartments  desired  by,  and  within  the 
means  of,  the  well-to-do  and  wealthier  classes  has  ceased 
to  exist,  the  Real  Estate  Board  of  New  York  has  suggested  a 
series  of  statutory  amendments  which,  if  enacted,  will  go  far 
in  the  direction  of  relieving  the  congestion  in  the  Municipal 
Courts  and  will,  at  the  same  time,  encourage  speculative  build- 
ers  to   resume   the   construction  of   multi-family   houses. 

Bills  are  being  prepared  by  the  legal  department  of  the  Real 
Estate  Board  incorporating  these  suggestions  and  these  meas- 
ures will  be  offered  in  the  Legislature  and  advocated  at 
hearings  on  the  housing  situation  which  will  be  held  in  Albany 
previous  to  action  on  the  legislation  suggested  by  the  Lock- 
wood  Committee  as  the  result  of  its  investigations  during  the 
last   year. 

The  proposed  amendments  would  exempt  from  the  applica- 
tion of  the  rent  laws  proceedings  instituted  to  dispossess 
objectionable  occupants  as  well  as  objectionable  tenants;  dis- 
charged janitors;  tenants  of  a  building,  other  than  a  tenement 
house,  where  plans  have  been  filed  for  converting  the  struc- 
ture into  living  quarters  for  two  or  more  families ;  hold-over 
tenants  who  have  failed  to  make  timely  reply  to  a  written 
notice  that  their  leases  may  be  renewed  at  the  old  rental,  and 
all   premises   occupied   under   leases   hereafter  entered   into   or 


hotel  apartments  occupied  by  transients  or  under  lease.  It  is 
also  proposed  that  the  law  exempting  co-operatively  owned 
tenement  houses  from  the  application  of  the  rent  laws  as 
ameliorated  to  permit  the  taking  over  of  an  apartment  in  such 
a  house  by  the  stockholder  subscribing  therefor,  even  if  all 
the   other   apartments  have   not   been   subscribed   for. 

In  order  to  remedy  the  congestion  in  the  Municipal  Courts 
the  rent  laws  have  produced,  the  Real  Estate  Board  has 
recommended  the  repeal  of  the  statutory  provision  that  allows 
costs  to  a  landlord  as  a  matter  of  right  only  in  case  he  recov- 
ers the  full  amount  claimed  in  an  action  for  rent  or  rental 
value.  As  the  law  now  stands,  tenants  have  nothing  to  lose 
and  everything  to  gain  by  litigating  every  disagreement  as  to 
rents.  It  is  contended  that  a  return  to  the  traditional  policy 
of  making  costs  abide  the  result  of  a  litigation  would  promote 
the  arbitration  or  amicable  adjustment  of  thousands  of  con- 
troversies between  landlords  and  tenants,  which  would  corres- 
pondingly reduce  the  demand  upon  Municipal  Courts  and 
juries.  To  the  same  end,  the  Real  Estate  Board  has  recom- 
mended the  re-introduction  of  the  bill  vetoed  last  year  by  the 
Mayor,  authorizing  the  Appellate  Divisions  of  the  First  and 
Second  Departments  to  appoint  a  corps  of  referees  to  assist 
the  Municipal  Court  justices  in  disposing  of  the  avalanche  of 
rent    law    litigations   that   is   overwhelming   them. 


'Reasonable  Rent  Decision"  Clarified 


DECLARING  there  had  been  an  unfortunate  misunder- 
standing of  its  former  decision,  handed  down  last  June, 
regarding  what  constitutes  "a  reasonable  rent,"  the  Appellate 
term  of  the  Supreme  Court  in  Brooklyn  recently  rendered 
a  clarifying  decision  in  which  it  is  held  that  the  amount  of 
return  on  real  estate  investments  is  elastic  and  depends  on 
conditions  in  the  financial  market.  The  new  decision  was 
rendered  in  an  appeal  from  the  verdict  of  a  municipal  court 
jury  which  fixed  rentals  in  flats  on  Meserole  St.,  owned  by 
Mrs.  Mary  T.  Kelly,  of  Great  Neck,  L.  I.  The  jury,  from  all 
the  facts  submitted,  named  figures  for  various  of  the  apart- 
ments which  made  possible  a  net  return  of  a  little  more  than 
8  per  cent.,  and  she  appealed  on  the  theory  that  she  was  en- 
titled absolutely  to  such  rent  as  would  bring  her  a  full  10  per 
cent,  net  after  the  payment  of  all  operating  and  maintenance 
expenses. 

The  new  memorandum  written  by  Justices  Cropsey,  Lazan- 
sky  and  Faber,  follows: 

"The  verdict  of  the  jury  was  warranted  by  the  facts  In   the  case.     In 
this  case,  as  in  other  cases  and  In  other  places,   there  has  been   an   un- 


fortunate misunderstanding  as  to  what  was  decided  by  tliis  court  In 
Hir^  V.  Weiner,  June  term,  1921.  The  Court  did  not  decide  that  a 
10  per  cent,  return  upon  the  value  of  the  property  was  a  conclusive  and 
invariable  standard.  On  the  contrary,  the  Court  clearly  held  that  It 
depended  upon  the  conditions  of  the  financial  market.  Attention  should 
be  directed  to  the  following  in   the  opinion  : 

"  'In  the  case  at  Bar  the  landlords  stipuiated  that  they  would  accept 
7  per  cent,  on  the  fair  value  of  the  premises  as  the  proper  amount  of 
net  income.  We  think  that  this  is  not  only  fair,  but  that  a  larger  rate 
of  net  income  would  be  fair.  The  evidence  shows  that  at  the  present 
time  one  can  buy  with  reasonable  safety  first  mortgage  coupon  bonda 
that  are  producing  income  at  8  to  8  1-2  per  cent.  The  investor  in  real 
estate,  if  building  of  houses  is  to  be  encouraged,  should  at  least  get 
as  much  income  from  real  property,  with  all  its  attendant  trouble,  as 
the   investor  in   mortgages  on   realty  and   franchises.' 

"Then  in  laying  down  a  way  to  determine  various  questions  In- 
volved,  it  was  said,  among  other  things : 

"  '5.  If  this  net  rental  does  not  exceed  10  per  cent,  of  the  present 
value  of  the  property,  then  the  rent  demanded  is  not  unreasonable. 
The  reasonableness  of  a  rent  charge  may  vary  under  changing  financial 
conditions.  Upon  the  proof  to  this  record  allowing  the  return  upon 
other  well  recognized  and  generally  accepted  forms  of  investment  we 
think  that  10  per  cent,  as  a  net  return  to  an  owner  of  real  property  is 
not  unreasonable.  But  such  a  percentage  might  be  excessive  If  the  evi- 
dence showed   a   different  situation    regarding  other   investments.' 

"We  are  unable  to  say  in  this  case  that  a  return  of  over  S  per  cent, 
to  the  landlord  as  a  result  of  the  jury's  verdict  and  upon  the  basis 
of  a  valuation  of  .$80,000  upon  which  the  landlord  argued  her  case  in  thft 
court  is  less  than  reasonable  in  the  absence  of  any  proof  as  to  the  re- 
turn on  good  securities  at  the  time  of  this  trial." 

There  will  probably  be  an  appeal  from  this  new  decision.

REAL    ESTATE     SECTION 


Coal  Consumers  Organize  to  Secure  Lower  Fuel  Costs 

Will  Petition  Interstate  Commerce  Commission  for  Reduction  in  Freight  Rates 
to  New  York  and  Ask  Congress  to  Regulate  Quality  of  Shipments 


CONSUMERS  of  anthracite  coal  in  the  Metropolitan  District 
have  formed  an  organization  which  will  attempt  to  secure 
a  reduction  in  the  cost  and  an  improvement  in  the  quality 
of  the  huge  amount  of  fuel  shipped  into  this  territory  annually. 
The  plans  of  this  organization,  known  as  the  Anthracite  Coal  Con- 
sumers' Association,  Inc.,  have  been  approved  by  the  Board  of 
Governors  of  the  Real  Estate  Board  of  New  York,  the  Directors  of 
the  Fifth  Avenue  Association  and  the  Executive  Committee  of  the 
Building  Managers'  and  Owners'  Association  of  New  York. 
Charles  G.  Edwards,  President  of  the  Real  Estate  Board ;  John 
H.  Towne,  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Fifth  Ave- 
nue Association,  and  Lawrence  B.  Elliman,  of  Pease  and  Elli- 
man,  have  accepted  membership  on  the  Advisory  Committee  and 
the  organization  has  been  completed  by  the  election  of  Henry 
Mace  Payne,  a  mining  engineer,  as  President ;  Charles  C.  Heffley, 
real  estate,  as  Vice-President,  and  Charles  S.  Allen,  freight  rate 
specialist,  as  Secretary-Treasurer  and  the  appointment  of  George 
Gordon  Battle,  of  O'Gorman,  Battle  &  Vandiver,  as  General 
Counsel.    An  office  has  been  secured  at  No.  90  West  Street. 

Efforts  of  the  organization  will  be  directed  mainly  to  trying  to 
secure  through  the  Interstate  Commerce  Commission  a  reduction 
in  the  freight  rate  on  coal  from  the  mines  to  tidewater  terminals, 
and  to  obtaining  congressional  action  which  will  standardize  the 
quality  of  coal  shipped  which  now  carries  a  large  quantity  of 
waste  material.  This  program  is  expected  eventually  to  reduce 
the  present  exhorbitant  freight  rate  from  $2.61  to  $1.31  per  ton, 
a  saving  of  $1.30  per  ton  to  the  consumer;  and  to  improve  the 
quality  by  elimination  of  refuse  on  which  freight  is  now  paid, 
saving  13  cents  a  ton  in  freight  charges,  and  $1.20  a  ton  in  value 
so  that  there  will  be  a  total  saving  to  the  consumer  of  $2.63  per 
ton. 

Further  activities  of  the  organization  will  be  in  the  direction  of 
urging  the  passage  by  Congress  of  a  bill  to  require  the  Interstate 
Commerce  Commission  to  have  put  into  effect  lower  freight  rates 
on  coal  in  the  spring  and  summer  months  than  in  the  fall  and 
winter,  and  thereby  lower  the  price  of  coal  in  the  spring  and  sum- 
mer and  encourage  storage  by  consumers  who  are  equipped  for 
satne ;  encouraging  consumers  to  economize  in  fuel  costs  by  a 
proper  and  scientific  mixture  of  bituminous  (soft)  and  anthracite 
(hard)  coals;  and  advising  consumers  to  effect  savings  in  fuel 
costs  by  following  simple  scientific  methods  in  burning  coal  eco- 
nomically. 

The  Anthracite  Coal  Consumers'  Association,  Inc.,  has  made  the 
following  statement  with  reference  to   the  rate   question: 

Anthracite  coal  is  found  In  a  very  small  area  In  the  northeastern  por- 
tion of  Pennsylvania,  in  and  about  the  cities  of  Scranton  and  Wilkes- 
Barre. 

From  this  region  it  Is  brought  to  tidewater.  New  York,  by  seven  rail- 
roads, namely :  Delaware.  Lackawanna  &  Western.  Lehigh  Valley,  Erie, 
Central  of  New  Jersey,  Philadelphia  &  Reading,  Pennsylvania,  and  New 
York.  Ontario  &  Western. 

The  expression  "tidewater.  New  York"  refers  to  the  terminals  of  these 
various  railroads  on  the  Jersey  side  of  the  Hudson  river,  from  South 
Amboy  north  to  Weehawken.  The  freight  rates  apply  to  those  terminals 
and.  contrary  to  popular  belief,  do  not  include  delivery  to  coal  yards  on 
Manhattan  Island  or  other  parts  of  the  greater  city. 

The  actual  average  distance  from  the  anthracite  producing  sections  to 
those  terminals  is  172  miles  :  but  in  the  computation  of  rates,  inasmuch 
as  the  two  carriers  which  have  the  longest  haul  handle  a  very  small 
proportion  of  the  total  tonnage,  a  fair  and  .lust  computation  must  be 
based  upon  what  is  known  as  a  weighted  average,  which  is  in5  miles. 

Until  a  comparatively  recent  date  the  principal  anthracite  mining 
companies  were  owned  or  cnntrolled  by  the  railroads  on  which  their 
mines  were  located  and  over  which  the  coal  was  and  is  shipped  to  tide- 
water. These  raiiroad-owned  mining  companies  are  referred  to  as  "line 
companies,"    as    distinguished    from    "independent    companies." 

The  distinction  between  the  "line  companies"  and  the  "independent 
companies"  should  be  borne  in  mind,  to  have  a  proper  appreciation  of 
the  significance   of  the   findings   of  the  Interstate   Commerce   Commission 


as  to  the  relations  between  the  anthracite-carrying  railroads  and  the 
"line  companies"  and  the  bearing  of  that  relationship  upon  the  present 
day  freight  rate  to  tidewater. 

At  the  date  of  the  inception  ot  the  freight  rates  which  forms  the  basis 
of  the  present  rates  to  tide-water,  the  relationship  between  the  anthracite- 
carrying  railroads  and  the  "line  companies"  was  of  the  most  intimate 
character. 

Tidewater  New  York  is  now  and  has  always  been  the  largest  market 
for  anthracite  coal,  and  the  prices  there  prevailing  govern  the  prices  in 
other  and  less  important  markets. 

By  an  order  dated  June  lU,  1912,  the  Interstate  Commerce  Commission 
instituted  an  investigation,  under  its  docket  4,914  entitled  "In  the  Matter 
of  Rates.  Practices.  Rules  and  Regulations  Governing  the  Transportation 
of  Anthracite  Coal." 

Under  this  order  the  Commission  conducted  an  exhaustive  investigation 
into  the  relationship  between  the  anthracite-carrying  railroads  and  the 
so-called  "line  companies,"  and,  on  July  30,  1015,  through  Commissioner 
McChord,  then  as  now  the  Chairman  of  the  Commission,  rendered  ita 
decision,  which  may  be  found  in  volume  35,  Interstate  Commerce  Com- 
mission reports,  at  pages  220  to  460. 

Briefly,  as  a  result  of  the  Investigation  conducted  by  the  Commission, 
it  ordered  a  reduction  ot  the  then  typical  rate  to  tidewater  of  $1.65  per 
ton,  on  domestic  sizes,  to  $1.45. 

Inasmuch  as  the  Commission  found  that  at  that  time  this  operating  cost 
ot  transporting  this  coal  to  tidewater  was  an  average  of  only  3.3  mills 
per  ton  per  mile,  or,  using  the  155  mile  weighted  average,  less  than  52 
cents  per  ton,  those  interescd  in  the  matter  were  greatly  surprised  that 
the  reduction  ordered  by  the  Commission  was  so  small  :  many  feeling,  in 
view  of  the  vigorous  language  employed  by  the  Commission  In  denouncing 
the  practices  of  these  carriers  and  their  allied  coal  companies,  that, 
instead  of  $1.45,  a  very  liberal  rate  would  have  been  $1.00  per  ton,  which 
would  have  shown  a  margin  of  almost  100  per  cent,  above  the  cost  of 
transporting  the  coal. 

However,  the  rate  of  $1.45  was  put  into  effect  in  lt)15  and  has,  by  the 
operation  of  the  various  horizontal  percentage  increases  authorized  since 
that  date,  been  advanced  until  today  it  reaches  the  exorbitant  figure  of 
$2.61. 

This  rate  of  $2.61  shows  a  ton  mile  return  of  17  mills.  It  is  the 
opinion  of  those  who  are  qualified  by  training  and  experience  to  pass 
upon  such  matters,  that  this  present  rate  is  at  the  very  minimum  $1  per 
ton  in  excess  of  a  properly  compensatory  return  to  the  railroads,  and, 
when  anthracite  coal  is  given  a  proper  relationship  to  other  commodities 
of  the  same  character,  transported  under  similar  conditions,  the  rate  is 
at  least  double  what  it  should  be.  In  other  words,  a  rate  of  $1.30  per 
ton  will  return  to  the  anthracite  carrying  railroads  a  revenue  of  8.4 
mills  per  ton  per  mile,  which  is  far  in  excess  of  that  accruing  to  the 
railroads  of  the  country  generally  for  transporting  commodities  ot  similar 
character  and  moving  under  like   transportation   conditions. 

The  foregoing  has  had  to  do  simply  with  the  question  ot  the  justness 
and  reasonableness  of  the  rate,  in  and  of  itself.  In  addition  it  is  grossly 
discriminatory  against  the  users  of  anthracite  coal  who  pay  prices  of 
which  the  tidewater  rate  is  a  part  or  upon  which  their  freight  rate  is 
based.     On  this  point  the  Commission,  in  its  decision,  at  page  227,  said  : 

"Through  rates  to  New  England  points  are  made  via  New  York  City, 
the  Poughkeepsie  bridge,  and  the  Albany  gateways,  and  are  influenced  to 
a  large  extent  by  the  rates  to  tidewater  for  rcshipment,  plus  the  rates 
beyond  the  tidewater  ports  by  rail  or  by  water  to  points  in  New  England.  ' 

Speaking  of  the  tidewater  rate  and  the  conditions  which  surrounded 
its  making,  as  well  as  the  purchase  by  the  "line  companies"  of  the  output 
of  the  "independent  companies,"  paid  for  at  a  certain  percentage  of  the 
prices  prevailing  at  tidewater,  the  Commission,  at  page  232  of  its 
opinion,  said  : 

"The  evidence  in  this  case  conclusively  shows  that  the  rates  on  this 
commodity  were  established  at  an  excessive  basis,  and  clearly  it  was  so 
done  for  the  purpose  of  eliminating  the  independent  output  as  a  factor  of 
competition  in  the  markets  with  the  railroad  interests'  output," 

And,  at  page  233,  It  says:  ...,,...» 

"The  carriers  for  many  years  were  allowed  a  free  hand  in  the  institu- 
tion of  freight  rates.  It  is  evident  that  they  used  that  great  power  not 
with  the  view  of  establishing  reasonable  freight  rates,  but  with  the 
intent  to  establish  rates  on  this  commodity  that  were  high  enough  to 
remove  the  production  of  the  independent  operators  from  the  field  of 
competition  with  the  coal  mined  by  the  railroad  interests.  ■ 

The  Association  quotes  other  passages  from  the  findings  of  the 
Interstate  Commerce  Commission  in  which  the  rates  are  declared 
to  be  excessive  and  in  restraint  of  trade  by  small,  independent 
shippers,  and  comparing  the  coal  rates  with  those  on  other  com- 
modities. On  this  question  the  Commission  declared  that  "freight 
rates  on  many  commodities  are  but  an  infinitesimal  part  of  the 
price  which  the  consumer  pays  for  such  commodities.  On  coal 
the  freight  rate  is  a  more  important  factor.  Anthracite  coal  is  very 
largely  a  fuel  for  domestic  use,  and  it  is  a  necessity.  That  rea- 
sonable freight  rates  should  be  charged  for  the  distribution  of  the 
great  fuel  tonnage  herein  involved  is  of  vital  importance  to  the 
producers  and  of  equal  concern  to  the  consumers." 

In  view  of  the  foregoing  expressions  by  the  Commission  as  to 
the  characteristics  of  and  conditions  surrounding  the  transporta-

Mr.  Guerrlich  Lectures  on  '*The  Brokers'  Point  of  View" 

Speaker  at  Y.  M.  C.  A.  Realty  Course  Points  Out  That  Success  Demands  Memory, 
Tenacity,  Vision,  Integrity  and  High  Ideals 


THE  "Brokers'  Point  of  View"  was  the  subject  of  the 
lecture  in  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  real  estate  course,  delivered  by 
Francis  Guerrlich,  Secretary  of  Horace  S.  Ely  &  Com- 
pany, last  Tuesday  evening  at  the  West  Side  Branch,  West  S7th 
Street.  The  speaker  was  introduced  by  Harry  A.  Kahler,  Presi- 
dent of  the   New  York  Title  and  Mortgage  Company. 

Mr.  Guerrlich  reminded  his  audience,  which  filled  the  auditor- 
ium, that  the  broker  is  a  professional,  rather  than  a  business 
man,  whose  success  is  measured  by  the  service  he  renders. 

"The  brokers  task,"  he  said,  is  to  deal  with  problems — other 
people's  problems.  To  their  solution  he  must  bring  certain  equip- 
ment which  is  necessary  in  any  profession — ^brains,  vision,  initia- 
tive, energy,  memory.  All  professions  do  not  require  personality, 
tact,  persistence.  The  broker's  does.  Every  profession  or  business 
requires  technical  knowledge  and  experience.  Much  of  this  tech- 
nical information  will  come  to  you  by  giving  attention  to  the 
collateral  lectures   in  this  course — much   more  in  daily  practice. 

"I  ask  you  to  note  carefully  those  three  simple,  common- 
place words,  vision,  memory,  persistence.  Take  them  from  the 
realm  of  mere  words  and  apply  them  in  your  daily  life." 

The  lecturer  drew  a  picture  of  the  growth  of  cities  because 
some  men's  minds  were  able  to  project  themselves  into  the  future. 
Then  he  went  on  as   follows : 

"But  let  us  keep  our  feet  on  the  ground  so  that  in  our  ecstasy  we  do 
not  confuse  creative  imagination  with  vain  imaginings.  There  is  a  vast 
difference  between  a  "man  of  vision"  and  a  "visionary  man."  Dream 
your  dream  but  walte  up  to  the  realities  of  lite.  Let  your  creative 
imagination  run  In  practical  lines.  Do  not  be  afraid  of  the  bold,  auda- 
cious vision — the  big  vision — but  analyze  it.  Can  it  be  financed?  Will 
it  pay  its  way?  Can  the  land  be  assembled?  Can  possession  be  secured? 
Is  this  the  time  to  do  It?  Are  you  the  man  to  handle  it,  or  should  you 
got  some  help  ? 

So  much  for  the  big  thought.  All  that  has  been  said  about  it  applies  to 
the  smaller  problem,  whether  it  be  the  renting  of  an  apartment  or  an 
office  or  the  sale  of  a  house  or  a  lot.  Your  imagniation  must  run  ahead 
of  your  act.  You  must  visualize  your  buyer  or  tenant.  You  may  not  And 
exactly  what  you  seek,  but  in  following  your  definite  objective  you  may 
open  up  new  avenues  of  endeavor. 

I  have  singled  out  the  word  memory  because  I  have  observed  that  the 
most  successful  brokers,  and  for  that  matter  the  most  successful  men  in 
any  walk  of  life,  have  had  the  faculty  well  developed.  I  think  it  is  of 
the  greatest  value,  and  urge  you  to  refer  to  your  note  book  as  little  as 
possible.  Keep  notes  and  records  by  all  means,  but  do  not  use  them  as  a 
lame  man  does  crutches. 

You  have  your  idea — you  have  your  memory  full  of  facts.  They  are, 
however,  valueless  unless  you  also  have  the  will  to  achieve.  Tenacity  of 
purpose.  Grip  hard.  Beaten  ;  rise  up  again.  Balked  at  one  door  enter 
another.  Remember  that  that  which  reasonably  should  be  can  be.  You 
have  the  will  and  pertinacity,  brains  and  resourcefulness  to  do  it.  There- 
fore, do  it.  History  is  filled  with  success  plucked  from  repeated  failures 
because  of  persistence.     Real   Estate   experience  is  not  different. 

M.  Guerrlich  said  there  are  three  stages  to  a  real  estate  broker- 
age transaction — its  beginning  or  initiation,  the  negotiations,  the 
conclusion.  He  then  said  : 

How  then  shall  we  commence?  Shall  we  specialize  or  shall  our  work 
be  general?  As  a  rule  it  is  better  to  start  off  with  some  definite  plan, 
and  let  it  be  modified  as  you  find  desirable.  Determine,  therefore, 
whether  you  wish  to  be  a  renting  man.  a  salesman  or  a  mortgage  broker. 
If  renting  appeals  to  you.  decide  what  kind  of  property  you  think  you 
can  best  handle — offices,  lofts,  factories,  apartments,  dwellings.  It  selling 
you  may  do  well  to  commence  with  a  certain  territory  or  district  or  a 
certain  type  of  property.  Having  a  definite  line  of  work  in  mind  you  can 
then  set  out  to  familiarize  yourself  with  that  field  of  activity.  You  will 
begin  to  prepare  a  renting  or  a  sales  list,  and  a  list  of  probable 
customers. 

Now  you  are  at  work  in  your  profession.  You  are  making  calls  and 
writing  letters.  You  are  reading  the  daily  real  estate  news  and  watching 
the  real  estate  trade  papers,  such  as  the  Record  and  Guide,  and  the  Real 
Estate  Magazine. 

Sketching  the  business  of  classifying  customers,  realty  facts, 
leads  and  the  other  activities  of  the  broker  the  lecturer  declared 
that  presently  somebody  was  found  to  take  an  interest  in  the 
property  the  broker  had  in  hand.  Then  came  the  negotiations  for 
a  sale  or  lease.    The  lecturer  continued: 

Real  estate  is  a  peculiar  thing.  It  can  almost  be  said  that  no  two 
inches  of  it  are  alike.  So  it  happens  that  it  cannot  be  quoted  by  the 
bushel  or  barrel.  It  is  affected,  it  is  true,  by  the  law  of  supply  and 
demand,  but  individual  piece=!  are  governed  by  local  conditions— bv  im- 
mediate neighborhood  influences — by  the  owner's  opinion,  not  necessarily 
of  its  real  value,  but  of  what  he  thinks  is  the  value  to  a  particular 
customer.  And  so  it  is  that  there  arises  a  wide  difference  of  opinion 
as  to  the  value  of  a  given  piece  of  real  estate — particularly  so  between 
interested  parties.  Value  is  lost  sight  of  by  the  instinct  to  bargain. 
The  buyer  concludes  that  the  seller  must  have  the  money  and  the  seller 
thinks  that  his  is  just  the  land  that  the  buyer  must  have — else  why  did 
he  make  an  offer? 

Aside  from  the  fact  that  a  broker  is  a  clearing  house  of  Information — 
a  trading  post  where  buyer  and  seller  may  meet — he  is.  In  our  scheme  of 
things,  an  economic  necessity — in  fact  a  psychological  necessity.     He  has 


the  perspective  that  his  customers  lack.  And  if  his  clients  or  customers 
are  not  too  stubborn  he  can  often  save  them  from  losing  excellent 
opportunities.  The  large  majority  of  transactions  are  made  through  the 
agency  of  a  broker,  because  principals  seldom  get  along  well  together. 
The  broker  is  the  bumper  or  air  cushion  which  softens  the  first  contact 
of  the  opposing  parties.  He  gets  the  slant  of  mind — the  habit  of 
thought — the  point  of  view  of  each.  He  interprets  these  divergent  thoughts 
to  the  other  as  necessity  demands. 

The  sale  of  a  parcel  of  property  or  the  leasing  of  space  is  a  matter  of 
selection.  Avoid  confusing  your  customer  with  too  many  offerings  and  be 
alert  to  reach  a  decision  that  this  or  that  particular  property  is  the  one 
that  will  best  suit  his  needs.  Then  concentrate  your  efforts  on  that  one. 
You  have  played  lawn  tennis,  no  doubt,  and  know  that  when  several 
balls  are  being  sent  over  to  you  preparatory  to  serving,  you  lose  both  if 
you  try  to  get  both  at  once.  By  keeping  your  eye  on  one  to  the  exclusion 
of  the  other  you  are  quite  sure  to  get  that  one.  Keep  your  own  direct 
customer's  attention  on  the  ball  within   reach. 

Sometimes  such  deals  are  made  by  one  broker  acting  alone,  but  gen- 
erally there  are  several  working  in  co-operation.  This  is  very  helpful, 
as  a  rule,  provided  your  associate  broker  is  a  good  one.  Often  one  broker 
has  the  confidence  of  one  of  the  other  parties  and  the  other  of  the  other 
party.  This  makes  a  good  combination.  In  planning  a  transaction, 
therefore,  you  will  do  well  to  consider  carefully  whether  or  not  some 
special  assistance  may  be  desirable.  For  my  own  part  I  am  much  more 
interested  in  assuring  the  success  of  a  negotiation  than  I  am  in  getting 
all  the  commission.  There  will  be  no  commission  if  I  fail,  so  why  not 
reduce  the  chances  of  failure  as  much  as  possible. 

Some  time  ago  It  was  suggested  to  me  by  a  business  friend  who  had  an 
indirect  interest  in  a  certain  large  hotel  that  I  try  to  sell  it  to  a  hotel 
man  who  was  the  logical  buyer.  I  did  not  personally  know  the  proposed 
buyer,  nor  did  I  know  anything  about  the  hotel  business.  1  knew  that 
there  had  been  efforts  made  in  the  past  to  bring  about  this  sale,  and  that 
both  principals  had  pretty  well  concluded  that  it  was  useless.  In  a 
general  way  1  had  an  idea  of  the  kind  of  deal  that  eventually  was 
consummated,  and  which  has  since  proved  very  good  for  all  concerned. 
To  have  stated  it  in  those  terms  at  the  beginning  of  the  negotiation 
would  have  meant  a  prompt  declination  from  both  sides,  and  would, 
moreover,  have  been  unauthorized.  I  happened  to  know  an  attorney  who 
had  all  that  I  lacked  to  make  such  a  sale  possible.  He  had  not  only 
his  legal  experience  with  hotel  matters  which  proved  so  valuable  to  us 
fjut  he  knew  the  hotel  business  and  could  think  the  way  a  hotel  man 
would  be  apt  to  think.  Moreover,  he  knew  well  all  the  principals.  So  I 
went  to  him  with  my  plan  and  invited  him  to  join  with  me.  "Without 
his  help  no  sale  would  have  been  made.  We  were  a  winning  team, 
whereas  alone  I  could  not  have  gone  far.  The  point  I  want  to  bring 
home  by  this  illustration  is  that  you  should  as  far  as  possible  plan  an 
important  negotiation,  and  in  planning  it  get  as  much  expert  assistance 
as  the  particular  circumstances  would  indicate. 

The  most  simple  sales,  the  speaker  said,  often  have  unimportant 
features  which  may  jeopardize  their  success.  Early  in  a  nego- 
tiation every  one  is  thinking  of  the  most  important  thing — the 
price,  and  little  is  said  about  the  various  points  which  are  brought 
out  when  the  contract  is  drawn,  such  as  apportioning  city  taxes,  pay- 
ment of  mortgage,  recording  tax,  personal  property,  such  as  coal 
or  mantels  or  chandeliers.  It  would  be  wise  to  have  these  details 
settled  at  the  earliest  possible  interview.  Before  the  price  and 
term  are  agreed  upon  these  little  matters  are  easily  disposed  of. 
Afterward  they  may  become  subjects  of  undue  importance. 

Mr.  Guerrlich  urged  the  importance  of  a  knowledge  of  real 
estate  law,  and  urged  his  listeners  to  read  that  portion  of  Black- 
stone  which  has  to  do  with  real  estate  and  who  advised  a  modern 
book  such  as  that  of  Prof.  Reeves'.     Mr.  Guerrlich  concluded: 

There  is  a  school  of  thought  which  maintains  that  the  test  of  a 
salesman  is  his  ability  to  sell  goods  that  are  valueless  or  greatly  over- 
priced. But  it  seems  to  me  that  there  is  a  great  difference  between 
"putting  over  a  deal"  and  "putting  one  over"  on  some  one  else.  The  one 
implies  a  transaction  which  Is  fair  to  all ;  the  other  a  swindle.  Every 
sale  indicates  either  a  difference  of  opinion  or  reflects  some  special  need 
or  desire.  One  may  thnk  the  price  is  high  and  the  other  that  it  Is  low. 
Either  may  be  right.  The  broker  is,  therefore,  not  the  keeper  of  his 
customer's  judgment.  But  somewhere,  sometimes  his  conscience  will  step 
in   and  he  will  step  out. 

Something  should  be  said  about  dependability.  Every  one  likes  to  do 
business  with  a  man  upon  whom  they  can  depend.  One  whose  state- 
ments are  true — whose  word  is  good — who  keeps  his  appointments — who 
does  not  offer  property  which  he  cannot  deliver.  That  I  should  refer  to 
the  latter  may  seem  strange  to  you.  as  it  would  seem  a  commonplace 
mistake  to  waste  time  in  that  way.  Yet  that  is  exactly  what  many 
brokers  are  constantly  doing  to  the  disgust  of  their  cutsomers.  They 
hear  a  rumor  or  have  an  idea  that  a  certain  piece  of  property  can 
be  purchased  at  a  certain  figure.  Without  checking  it  up  they  com- 
mence offering  it  around  and  soon  acquire  a  bad  reputation  for  lack  of 
dependability.  ,,.,.,. 

"Bluffing"  is  not  a  part  of  the  equipment  of  a  broker,  although  the 
ability  to  size  up  and  call  a  bluff  Is  very  desirable.  It  is  defined  in 
the  dictionary  as  "the  act  of  deceiving  or  Influencing  by  a  show  of  con- 
fident assurance."  I  would  like  to  add  "practiced  by  many  but  de- 
ceiving few."  You  will  meet  the  bluffer  very  often  and  the  more  he 
talks,  the  more  he  tries  to  impress  you  with  his  strength  or  his  pur- 
pose, or  the  more  he  tries  to  deceive  you  the  quicker  will  you  perceive 
the  weakness  of   his  position. 

There  will  come  a  time  in  many  a  negotiation  where  its  success  will 
depend  upon  your  ability  to  sense  the  wisdom  of  stopping  still.  You 
will  need  couraoe  and  patience.  To  push  on  would  simplv  create  a 
wrong  climax.  The  rest  cure  Is  what  It  needs.  Heads  hot  with  activity 
of  thnusrht  about  the  transaction  must  be  nermitted  to  cool  off  a  little 
so  that  thev  may  hettcr  <ret  a  perspective.  Likewise  learn  to  know  when 
to  stop  talking.  '  You  tr'"'  f""-  the  purpose  oi  inducing  someone  to  sign

Real     Estate     Board     Holds     26th     Annual     Banquet 

Governor  Miller  Chief  Guest  of  Honor  at  Affair  Which  Was  Attended  by  1,500 
Leaders  in  Realty  Activities  of  the  Metropolis 


THE  Real  Estate  Board  of  New  York  held  its  twenty-sixth 
annual  banquet  in  the  grand  ball  room  of  the  Hotel  Com- 
modore last  Saturday  evening,  having  as  its  principal  guest 
of  honor.  Governor  Miller  of  New  York.  His  speech  on  matters  of 
great  moment  to  real  estate  interests  of  this  city,  was  virile.  While 
many  of  the  realtors  did  not  agree  with  some  parts  of  the  Gov- 
ernor's address  they  nevertheless  admired  its  candor  and  its  un- 
equivocal tone.  When  he  had  finished  every  hearer  knew  exactly 
what  the  Governor  thinks  on  the  matters  he  discussed.  Gov- 
ernor Exiwards,  of  New  Jersey  also  had  been  expected,  but  a 
telegram  was  received  announcing  his  inability  to  attend  on  ac- 
count of  an  attack  of  influenza.  More  than  1,500  real  estate  and  tile 
insurance  men  comprised  the  audience.  Judge  Frederick  E.  Crane, 
of  the  New  York  Court  of  Appeals,  delivered  a  scholarly  address, 
and  Martin  W.  Littleton  aroused  enthusiasm  by  his  eloquence  and 
wit.  A  speaker  not  on  the  programme,  but  who  was  listened 
to  closely,  was  Frank  A.  Stevens,  head  of  the  New  Jersey  Real 
Estate  License  Bureau.  Edward  J.  Cattell,  City  Statistician  of 
Philadelphia,  provoked  much  mirth  with  his  after-dinner  talk. 

Charles  G.  Edwards,  President  of  the  Board,  acted  as  toast- 
master.  He  prefaced  his  introduction  of  the  Governor  with  a 
brief  address  wherein,  much  to  the  surprise  of  many  present,  he 
expressed  the  hope  that  the  Real  Estate  Board  of  New  York  would 
some  day  have  a  home  of  its  own  in  preference  to  leased  quarters, 
such  as  it  has  had  and  has  now.  He  said  that  this  is  an  era  of 
home  ownership  for  the  organization  as  well  as  for  the  individual. 
President  Edwards  expressed  great  satisfaction  over  the  large 
attendance  of  members  at  the  first  monthly  meeting  of  the  Board, 
held  at  Delmonico's  in  January.  He  urged  a  still  larger  attend- 
ance at  the  next  monthly  dinner  in  March.  Declaring  that  the  Board 
can  be  only  as  big  as  the  members  by  their  activity  and  enthusi- 
asm make  it.  Mr.  Edwards  urged  co-opeartion  on  the  part  of  all. 
He  hoped  to  see  twice  as  many  members  at  the  next  monthly  meet- 
ing as  there  were  at  the  first  one. 

The  front  cover  of  the  menu  booklet  was  appropriately  illus- 
trated with  a  picture  of  the  large  new  building  to  be  erected  on 
the  site  of  the  former  Grand  Union  Hotel,  on  Pershing  Square,  and 
to  be  known  as  the  Pershing  Square  Building.  The  banquet  com- 
mittee comprised  Elisha  Sniffin,  Chairman ;  William  L.  De  Bost, 
Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Guests ;  Laurence  McGuire,  Chair- 
man of  the  Committee  on  Speakers ;  and  J.  Irving  Walsh,  Chair- 
man of  the  Committee  on  Seating.  It  was  a  matter  of  comment 
that  each  of  these  Chairmen  did  his  work  well. 

Aside  from  the  speakers  of  the  evening,  the  other  guests  of 
the  Board  on  the  dais  were :  James  B.  Fisher,  President  of  the 
Brooklyn  Real  Estate  Board ;  Darwin  P.  Kingsley,  President  of 
the  New  York  Life  Insurance  Company;  Louis  V.  Bright,  Presi- 
dent of  the  Lawyers  Title  &  Trust  Company;  Maj.  Coogan,  Mili- 
tary Secretary  to  the  Governor;  E.  H.  Outerbridge,  Chairman  of 
the  Commission  of  Port  Authority;  William  Crittendon  Adams, 
President  of  the  LTnited  States  Savings  Bank ;  William  B.  Cardoza, 
Vice-President  of  the  Farmers  Loan  &  Trust  Company ;  Haley 
Fiske,  Frederick  H.  Ecker  and  Walter  Stabler,  President,  Vice- 
President  and  Comptroller  respectively  of  the  Metropolitan  Life 
Insurance  Company :  H.  A.  Kahler,  President  of  both  the  New  York 
Title  &  Mortgage  Company  and  the  American  Trust  Company ; 
Henry  A.  Schenck,  President  of  the  Bowery  Savings  Bank ;  Mor- 
gan J.  O'Brien,  George  R.  Read,  Alfred  T.  Marling,  Philip  Rhine- 
lander,  Adolph  Lewisohn.  Robert  E.  Dowling.  Frederick  Brown, 
George  L.  Ingraham,  H.  Harwood  Garfield,  H.  R.  Ennis,  George 
Cromwell,  R.  T.  Childs,  Stephen  H.  Angell,  John  P.  Leo,  Assistant 
Corporation  Counsel  Charles  D.  Olendorf,  Charles  Rohe,  W.  H. 
Schoendorf,  E.  Everett  Thorpe,  John  G.  Williams  and  Horace  S. 
Wilkinson.  Music  by  Pinto's  Orchestra,  assisted  by  the  Interna- 
tional Quartette,  enlivened  the  evening. 

Governor  Miller  was  scheduled  to  speak  on  about  port  mat- 
ters, but  he  alluded  to  that  subject  only  briefly.  He  stressed  the 
<]uestion   of  state   government  and   home   rule,   and   spoke   em- 


phatically about  the  administration  of  the  public  schools  which 
he  declared  should  be  kept  entirely  outside  the  realm  of  poli- 
tics. The  Governor  remarked  at  the  outset  that  the  real 
estate  business  was  as  closely  related  to  the  pending  prob- 
lems of  the  day  as  any  business  he  could  think  of  and  that  it 
came  as  closely  to  the  masses  as  any  business  he  could  think 
of.  He  said  that  the  great  social  revolutions  of  the  past  had 
revolved  around  property  and  property  rights,  adding  that 
real  estate  values  in  this  city  had  fluctuated  largely  be- 
cause the  city  had  been  built  up  without  its  citizens  looking 
far  enough  into  the  future.  Transportation  had  been  created 
in  makeshift  fashion,  he  declared,  and  that  had  created  great 
congestion.  He  told  his  hearers  that  they  were  the  kind 
of  men  who  could  properly  appreciate  the  situation  and  insist 
on  making  ample  provision  for  the  future. 
Taking  up  the   housing  situation,  the   Governor  said: 

"You  have  another  problem  here  which  I  imagine  you  are  keenly  inter- 
ested in,  and  that  is  the  housing  problem.  I  am  not  going  to  undertake 
to  solve  that  problem  :  that  is  too  difficult  also  for  an  aiter-dlnner  speech. 
Eflorts  have  been  made  to  alleviate  conditions  ana  necessarily  those 
efforts  have  been  of  a  temporizing  and  temporary  character.  You  still 
have  the  problem  with  you  and  many  other  citizens  throughout  the  coun- 
try have  that  problem,  though  probably  not  so  acutely. 

"You  had  two  things  to  accomplish.  The  solution  of  the  problem  re- 
quired more  houses,  but  there  was  also  a  temporary  emergency  which 
afforded  opportunity  to  some  men  engaged  in  the  real  estate  business  to 
take  advantage  of  others ;  and  as  always  happens  in  such  a  time,  a 
great  mass  of  fair-dealing  and  just-dealing  men  engaged  in  the  business 
had  to  suiter  because  of  the  misconduct  of  a  few. 

"Now,  that  emergency  created  a  demand  for  temporary  relief  of  those 
v/ho  were  unable  to  defend  themselves  and  resulted  in  measures  which, 
under  ordinary  conditions  and  in  ordinary  times,  would  have  been  un- 
wise. Those  measures,  designed  for  temporary  relief,  no  doubt  had  the 
effect,  to  some  extent,  of  retarding  the  very  thing  that  was  necessary  for 
the  permanent  solution  of  the  problem,  namely,  the  building  of  more 
homes.  None  the  less,  the  emergency  was  here,  ana  that  emergency,  as 
you  know,  resulted  in  the  passage  of  the  so-called  rent  laws,  which  were 
sustained  by  our  Court  of  Appeals  under  a  doctrine  of  the  police  power 
which,  it  it  were  somewhat  new,  at  least,  demonstrated  that  our  institu- 
tions were  suited  to  meet  new  conditions  and  to  deal  with  unexpected 
emergency.  Now  we  still  have  those  laws,  and  1  am  going  to  tell  you 
frankly  that  you  will  probably  have  them   tor  another  year. 

"And  the  point  which  I  wish  to  make  is  that  the  Influence  of  such  an 
organization  as  this  should  be  exerted  in  a  constructive  way  to  deal  with 
these  problems  and  to  make  the  most  of  situations  which  perhaps  you  may 
not  like.  We  find  that  as  new  conditions  arise  we  sometimes  have  to 
accept  the  best  that  we  can  get ;  and,  instead  of  opposing  the  inevitable, 
the  wise  thing  to  do  is  to  accept  the  situation,  to  make  the  best  of  it,  and 
to  contribute  in  a  constructive  way  to  work  out  the  situation,  so  as  to 
make  it  unnecessary  to  continue  upon  the  statute  books  laws  which,  except 
for  this  emergency,  undoubtedly  would  be  an  invasion  of  personal  and 
property  rights. 

"I  understand  that  the  difficulty  in  lack  of  housing  of  the  better  class 
is  being  relieved,  but  that  the  situation  with  respect  to  the  cheaper  tene- 
ments is  more  acute  today  than  ever.  Frankly,  I  flo  not  know  precisely 
how  that  problem  can  be  solved,  but  you  gentlemen  can  do  more  to  assist 
in  the  solution  of  it  than  any  other  similar  body  of  men  in  our  com- 
munity." 

In  the  course  of  his  success  Judge  Crane  urged  his  hearers 
not  to  overlook  the  fact  that  good  government  is  realty's 
greatest    asset.      He    declared : 

"In  determining  the  value  of  real  estate  you  consider  many  things — 
location,  accessibility,  possibilities.  But  ore  thing  you  invariably  leave 
out,  and  that  is  the  most  important  of  all — I  speak  of  the  security  of 
ownership  and  possession  afforded  by  good  government,  regulated  and 
controlled  by  wise  laws. 

"There  have  been  times  In  this  country  when  a  consideration  of  this 
thing  very  much  affected  values.  How  quickly  prices  would  tumble  if 
anarchy,  rebellion,  uncertainty  and  doubt  should  creep  into  the  admin- 
istration of  government?  Suppose  the  provision  that  property  cannot  be 
taken  for  public  purpose  without  just  compensation  should  be  removed 
from  our  Constitution?  Or  that  by  the  desire  of  the  majority  sufficient 
to  modify  our  forms  of  government,  taxation  should  become  a  means  of 
destruction  and  spoliation  in  an  endeavor  to  socialize  society?  What 
about  your  values? 

"You  say  that  our  Government,  our  laws  and  our  courts  guard  against 
these  things,  but  what  is  the  Government?  Too  often  we  think  It  Is  some- 
thing given  to  us  by  demigods,  called  forefathers,  and  that  it  will  run 
itself.  We  think  of  government  as  being  officialdom,  and  that  as  long  as 
we  have  Presidents,  Governors  and  .Judges  we  are  safe.  The  real  and 
basic  fact  is  that  our  Government — and  in  this  day  we  can  truly  say  all 
Governments — is  dependent  upon  the  right  thinking  of  the  people.  An 
idea,  once  seizing,  possessing,  moving  a  people,  can  overturn  almost  any- 
thing. No  one  can  read  the  history  of  thip  country  and  of  England  with- 
out realizing  that  peaceful  revolutions  are  continually  taking  place.  Our 
Government  and  laws,  therefore,  depend  not  upon  officeholders  but  upon 
the  Intelligence,  understanding  and  the  restraint  of  our  citizens. 

"The  nuisance  clause  against  obnoxious  things  which  affect  real  estate 
values  applies  to  Government.  Tfinovince,  prejudice,  class  selfishness  and 
rducntrti  indifference  are  things  to  be  guarded  against  and  fought  and 
expelled  from  our  midst.  Dnnger  never  lies  in  our  differences.  Danger 
lies  in  our  indifferences — a  disease  more  prevalent  among  the  educated 
class  than   among  the  uneducated."

Extension  for  Lockwood  Committee  Strongly  Opposed 

Legislature  May  Grant  It  New  Lease  of  Life,  But  Is  Considering  Other  Plans  If 
Leaders  Decide  to  Continue  Housing  Activities 

(Special  to  the  Record  and  Guide)

THE  plan  to  continue  the  Lockwood  Committee  for  another 
year  has  strong  opposition  in  the  Legislature,  but  indi- 
cations now  are  that  the  committee's  life  will  be  ex- 
tended for  another  year,  that  it  will  be  re-created  as  a  com- 
mission under  a  special  bill,  or  that  some  body  to  supervise  the 
activities  of  building  and  trades  organizations  will  be  formed. 

Legislative  leaders  want  to  be  sure  of  their  facts  before  they 
act,  however,  and  have  called  upon  Senator  Lockwood,  Chair- 
man of  the  Housing  Committee,  for  a  statement  of  expendi- 
tures of  his  committee  since  its  creation  several  years  ago. 
It  will  show  about  $154,000  spent  and  will  point  to  fines  of  about 
$500,000  collected,  besides  claiming  a  saving  of  many  millions 
of   dollars  on   New  York   school  contracts. 

A  series  of  more  than  a  score  of  bills  has  been  drafted  to 
carry  out  proposed  recommendations  to  be  included  in  the 
committee  report  which  Samuel  Untermyer,  Chief  Counsel, 
is  expected  to  bring  to  Albany  next  week. 

Chief  among  the  proposed  laws  will  be  one  bringing  fire  and 
casualty  insurance  companies  under  closer  state  supervision, 
and  empowering  life  insurance  companies  to  devote  10  per  cent, 
of  their  funds  to   investments   in  real   estate  mortgages.     The 


committee  is  prepared  to  quote  figures  to  prove  that  for  a 
period  of  years  investments  in  real  estate  mortgages  have  been 
the  best  of  any  made  by  insurance  companies.  It  also  will  be 
shown  that  heavy  losses  have  been  sustained  through  other 
investments,  which  will  be  characterized  as  highly  specula- 
tive. 

One  proposal  before  the  Lockwood  Committee  is  that  State 
Trade  Commission  be  created,  with  power  to  handle  all  ques- 
tions in  regard  to  labor  organizations,  trade  organizations,  and 
possible   disputes   between   them. 

No  recommendation  will  be  made  for  incorporation  of  labor 
unions,  the  committee  having  decided  that  if  this  is  done  an- 
other law  should  be  passed  at  the  same  time  providing  for 
incorporation  of  employers  and  trade  organizations. 

When  the  Lockwood  Committee  report  is  submitted  it  is 
expected  that  the  bills  putting  its  recommendations  into  effect 
will  be  introduced.  The  committees  of  the  Senate  and  As- 
sembly will  set  aside  a  full  day,  or  perhaps  two  days,  for  a 
hearing,  giving  everyone  a  chance  to  discuss  the  proposed 
measures.  Many  believe  that  some  of  the  Lockwood  Com- 
mittee recommendations  will  go  over  to  next  year  for 
consideration,  along  with  the  bulk  of  the  Davenport  Tax  Com- 
mittee  recommendations. 


Coal  Consumers  Organize  to  Secure  Lower  Fuel  Costs 


(Continued  from  page  167) 
tion  of  anthracite  coal,  the  Coal  Consumers'   Association  says  it 
is  interesting  to  note  a  comparison  of  the  rates  charged  for  trans- 
porting that  commodity  to  New  York  with  certain  figures  recently 
issued   by   the   Interstate   Commerce   Commission. 

On  167  Class  One  railroads,  embracing  upwards  of  233,000  miles 
of  line,  in  the  first  seven  months  of  1921,  the  average  return  for 
hauling  all  classes  of  traffic,  from  the  highest  to  the  lowest,  with 
an  average  haul  of  187  miles,  the  charge  for  transporting  one  ton 
one  mile  was  12.75  mills,  compared  to  17  mills  charged  for  trans- 
porting one  ton  of  anthracite  coal  one  mile,  based  on  the  rate  to 
New  York. 

Analyzing  the  situation  the  Association  says :  "The  rate  nearest 
in  amount  to  that  applying  on  anthracite  coal  from  the  mines  to 
New  York  is  from  the  Virginia  fields  to  Hampton  Roads,  $2.80, 
compared  to  $2.61 ;  but  note  that  for  $2.80  the  haul  from  the 
Virginia  fields  to  Hampton  Roads  is  403  miles,  whereas  for  $2.61 
the  haul  from  the  mines  to  New  York  tidewater  is  only  155  miles. 

"If  New  York  had  as  fair  a  rate  from  the  mines  as  that  from 
the  Virginia  fields  to  Hampton  Roads,  it  would  be  $1.31  per  ton 
instead  of  $2.61. 

"It  will  be  remembered  that  this   tidewater   rate   largely  influ- 


ences the  rates  applying  to  the  territory  in  eastern  Pennsylvania  and 
New  York  and  the  entire  territory  of  New  Jersey  and  the  New 
England  states,  to  which  there  move  annually  approximately  40,- 
000,000  gross  tons  of  anthracite  coal,  and,  in  this  respect  alone,  each 
year  lays  a  burden  upon  the  consumers  thereof  ranging  from 
fifty  to  fifty-five  million  dollars    ($50,000,000  to  $55,000,000). 

The  Association  has  prepared  a  chart  giving  the  rates  on  an- 
thracite coal  from  the  mines  to  New  York  and  to  four  Western 
cities.  The  discrimination  against  New  York  is  shown  in  the  fol- 
lowing table:

Mr.  Guerrlich  Lectures  on  "The  Broker's  Point  of  View" 


(Continued  from  page  168) 
his  name.     When   he   is  convinced,   for  goodness  sake  don't  talk  him  out 
of  it  again,  or  put  some  new  idea  into  his  mind.     Then,  too,  often  silence 
Is  golden.     If  the  others  are  using  the  right  kind  of  language  and  things 
are  going  as  they  should,  why  say  anything? 

"The  object  of  all  your  efforts,"  said  Mr.  Guerrlich,  "is  to  get 
a  contract  signed,  and  having  in  mind  the  fact  that  people  change 
their  minds  the  quicker  it  is  signed  the  better.  The  ability  to  draw 
a  good  contract  is  a  valuable  asset  as  it  may  make  it  possible  to 
get  your  parties  signed  up  at  once.  However,  in  the  great  number 
of  cases  the  contracts  are  drawn  up  by  lawyers.  And  this  is  as  it 
should  be  even  though  a  broker's  real  troubles  often  begin  when 
the  lawyer  is  called  in. 

"When  difficulties  arise  at  this  stage  the  situation  is  a  very 
delicate  one,  and  calls  for  a  great  deal  of  tact,  patience  and  resource- 
fulness. Sometimes  some  of  the  parties  are  beginning  to  become 
tired  out  with  the  negotiation,  and  care  must  be  taken  that  new 


developments  are  so  presented  that  they  will  not  become  a  source 
of  irritation.  Frequntly  the  attorney  calls  attention  to  matters 
which  are  more  or  less  important,  and  the  broker  should  have 
the  ability  to  clearly  state  the  business  risk  involved  as  against 
the  possibility  of  the  legal  contingency  which  the  careful  mind  of 
the  lawyer  has  suggested. 

'*With  a  moderately  good  legal  education  you  are  frequently  able 
to  suggest  some  practical  solution  of  a  difficulty  which  the  at- 
torneys have  pointed  out. 

"I  have  tried  to  indicate  in  the  larger  view  point  the  position 
of  the  broker  in  the  community,  as  well  as  to  discuss  some  of  the 
details  of  his  work.  My  purpose  has  been  to  show  that  a  wise 
broker  is  the  one  who  can  see  beyond  the  immediate  transaction  on 
which  he  is  working  and  realize  the  asset  value  of  a  good  name. 
Let  us  then  keep  before  us  a  high  ideal,  even  if  we  may  not  attain 
to  perfection,  we  may  move  from  one  success  to  another.

Review  of  Real  Estate  Market  for  the  Current  Week 


Leases  Disputed  Sway  of  Market  with 
Business  Buildings  and 

LEADING  all  transactions  of  the  last  seven  days  was  that 
of  the  leasing  of  the  improved  site,  66.8x100,  at  the  south- 
east corner  of  Madison  avenue  and  Forty-third  street,  for 
an  aggregate  term  of  63  years  and  for  a  total  gross  rental 
of  $7,000,000.  In  the  light  of  the  steady  evolution  of  property 
values  in  the  Grand  Central  zone  this  rental  is  causing  prop- 
erty owners  there  to  sit  up  and  take  notice.  A  14-story  mer- 
cantile building  will  supplant  the  three  smaller  buildings  now 
on  the  plot.  The  real  estate  movement  which  started  there 
a  few  years  ago  has  gained  steadily  in  size  and  before  tlie  year 
has  ended  it  would  not  be  surprising  if  other  transactions  as 
large  as  the  corner  deal  mentioned  above  were  effected.  A 
lease  as  large  as  the  one  in  discussion  cannot  long  remain  an 
isolated  instance  in  such  a  growing  district  as  the  Grand  Cen- 
tral. 

An  interesting  contrast  is  the  lease,  made  a  few  days  before, 
of  the  Bristol  building  and  adjacent  smaller  structures  at  the 
northwest  corner  of  Fifth  avenue  and  Forty-second  street 
Covering  a  site  fronting  101.4  feet  on  the  avenue  and  208.4  feet 
on  the  street,  the  parcels  were  leased  by  the  estate  of  Louisa 
M.  Gerry  to  Walter  J.  Salmon  for  a  second  term  of  20  years, 
at  a  new  rental  of  $450,000  a  year,  or  ten  times  as  much  as  the 
site  brought  20  years  ago.  The  group  of  buildings  are  not 
modern.  The  aggregate  amount  of  this  lease  is  $9,000,000,  but 
the  site  is  much  larger  than  the  Madison  avenue  corner  men- 
tioned, while  the  term  is  more  than  two-thirds  shorter  and  net. 
This  demonstrates  the  enormous  rental  power  of  Fifth  avenue 


Sales  of  Multi-Family  Houses,  While 
Dwellings  Sold  Well 

property  in  this  era  of  its  increased  trade  prestige  in  retail  and 
wholesale  business. 

The  strong  feature  of  the  sales  market  this  week  was  the 
large  number  of  multi-family  houses  of  all  kinds  and  descrip- 
tions that  changed  hands.  From  East  Fourth  street  to  the 
Harlem  Ship  Canal  and  beyond  into  the  Bronx  dealing  in  this 
kind  of  property  was  steady.  Just  now  it  would  seem  as  if 
anybody  could  sell  a  multi-family  house  at  a  good  price.  The 
multi-family  house  boom  of  a  decade  or  more  ago  was  pri- 
marily in  new  buildings.  Now  any  kind  of  such  building  is 
marketable. 

Dwellings  of  the  better  class  were  in  good  demand,  as  was 
evidenced  by  the  sale  of  some  on  Riverside  Drive  and  in 
streets  contiguous  thereto.  Medium-sized  business  buildings 
are  still  attracting  investors  who  are  buying  them  for  occu- 
pancy, they  being  principally  business  firms  who  wish  to  feel 
secure  in  their  location.  In  this  era  of  big  demand  for  busi- 
ness space  firms  find  it  worth  while  to  buy  instead  of  rent 
space  on  a  graduated  upward  rental  scale.  Numerous  tenants 
of  dwellings  are  buying  them  also.  Vacant  plots,  as  sites 
for  garages,  are  still  in  good  demand.  The  ever-increasing 
use  of  auto  trucks  and  of  private  cars  makes  garage  building 
a  logical  sequence. 

Numerous  important  leases  of  more  than  ordinary  size  were 
closed  during  the  week,  while  there  was  an  abundance  ef 
leases  of  medium  sizes.  Brooklyn  and  Queens  also  witnessed 
the  closing  of  some  large  leases  of  business  spaces. 


PRIVATE  REALTY  SALES. 


"y  HE  total  number  of  sales  reported,  but  not

The  number  ot  sales  south  ol  59th  st  was  17, 
as  compared  with  21  last  week  and  47  a  year

Better  Light, 

Better  Business 


JViuch  of  the  success  of  our  most  prosperous  merchants 
is  attributable  to  better  lighting.  The  store  that  dis- 
plays its  goods  under  good  light  establishes  confidence 
in  the  quality  of  its  wares.  Customers  are  able  to  see, 
without  eye  strain  or  effort,  what  they  are  purchasing. 

Better  Light  in  the  store  is  a  prerequisite  o'f  Better 
Business.  It  benefits  the  merchant  as  much  as  it  does 
the  customer.  Merchandise,  irrespective  of  merit,  can- 
not be  shown  to  advantage  unless  lighting  is  correctly 
distributed  and  properly  diffused. 

The  psychological  influence  of  good  lighting  is  marked. 
Employee  alertness  is  maintained.  Cheerfulness,  affect- 
ing both  the  customer  and  the  sales  force,  is  encouraged. 
Purchasing  desire  and  sales  instincts  are  heightened.  The 
very  atmosphere  is  permeated  with  inviting  hospitality. 

Avoid  glare  as  you  would  darkness.  It  is  irri- 
tating, tiring  and  blinding  to  the  sensitiveness  of  the  eye. 
Distribute  and  diffuse  your  light  correctly  with  scien- 
tifically constructed  fixtures.  The  results  will  be  more 
profitable  to  you  in  sales  value,  display  of  merchandise, 
employee  efficiency,  general  appearance  and  perhaps  even 
in  the  consumption  of  electric  current. 


Our  representatives  or  those  of  any  lightbig 
fixture  or  electrical  dealer's  store  will  be  glad 
to  render  advice  and  assistance  in  any  store 
lighting    problem    you    may    wish    to    solve.

shoals  of  business  depression. 

Business  is  on  the  upward  turn,  but  in  the

floor  will  be  constructed  of  marble,  witb  a  20- 
foot  ceiling  of  Roman  classic  design,  incor- 
porating an  indirect  lighting  system.  An  artis- 
tic screen  of  marble  and  statuary  bronze  will 
inclose   the   banking   space. 

According  to  the  construction  plans,  the  new  ■ 
building  will  incorporate  the  frame  of  the 
Charles  &  Co.  12-sty  building  on  the  corner, 
involving  a  change  of  facade  from  brick  to 
marble,  a  lifting  of  the  cornice  and  a  general 
rearrangement  of  architectural  features.  The 
building  will  be  completed  and  ready  for  occu- 
pancy on  or  before  October,  1923. 

Charles  &  Co.  will  at  once  erect  a  7-story 
building,  designed  for  their  exclusive  use,  at 
48-50  East  43d  st,  a  part  of  their  present  loca- 
tion. This  is  the  site  of  the  original  Charles 
store  of  51  years  ago  on  this  block.  For  many 
years  they  were  the  tenants  of  Joseph  Milbank  in 
a  large  store  running  through  to  42d  st,  which 
was  between  the  plots  owned  by  Charles  &  Co. 
When  the  Milbank  proptTty  was  improved  with 
the  new  Winchester-Liggett  building  the 
Charles  properties  became  separated,  so  that 
It  was  necessary  for  them  to  operate  two  dis- 
tinct stores  on  the  same  block.  This  also 
made  it  necessary  for  them  to  secure  another 
property  in  order  to  handle  their  business. 
With  this  end  in  view  they  bought  106-108 
East  41st  st,  which  is  used  for  a  warehouse, 
assemblage  of  orders,   and  delivery. 

The  new  building  will  eliminate  a  great  deal 
of  congestion  and  expensive  duplication,  and 
will  provide  more  adequate  facilities  for  cus- 
tomers, as  all  details  of  construction  will  be 
worked  out  with  this  end  in  view.  It  will  also 
connect  with  a  Charles  &  Co.  store  on  Van- 
derbilt  av,  directly  across  from  the  Grand  Cen- 
tral Terminal. 

The  business  was  established  in  1848  in  De- 
lancy  st,  when  that  was  a  fine  residential  neigh- 
borhood. In  1860,  it  was  moved  to  28th  st  and 
Fourth  av,  which  was  then  at  its  height  as  a 
residential  section,  and  in  1871  it  moved  to 
48-50  East  43d  st,  and  later  expanded  to  include 
the  corner  of  Madison  av  and  43d  st,  where  It 
has  grown  to  its  present  Importance,  this  loca- 
tion having  been  unusually  well  suited  for  the 
development  of  out  of  town  as  well  as  city  busl-

BUILDING     SECTION 


Deny    Lockwood    Claim    of    80,000  Housing    Shortage 


Practical  Building  Experts  Also  Question 
Can  Be  Constructed  to 

DESPITE  repeated  claims  of  the  Lockwood  Committee 
and  other  official  and  semi-official  bodies  that  New  York- 
City  is  still  short  approximately  80,000  homes  for  about 
400,000  persons,  a  wide  difference  of  opinion  on  this  subject 
prevails  among  practical  building  interests. 

Speculative  builders,  who  have  been  tremendously  active 
during  the  past  year  on  the  construction  of  multi-family  dwel- 
lings as  well  as  rows  of  one-  and  two-story  houses,  are  certain 
that  the  crisis  is  over,  and  that  the  supply  and  demand  for 
living  accommodations  is  rapidly  being  adjusted.  One  thing 
is  certain  and  that  is  these  builders  have  hundreds  of  com- 
pleted buildings  on  their  hands,  erected  during  the  past  year 
under  the  Tax  exemption  ordinance  and  with  material  costs 
substantially  lowered,  and  yet  they  are  unable  to  sell  or  rent. 
Numerous  vacancies  exist  in  newly  completed  structures  and 
rents  in  some  districts  are  notably  lower  than  they  were  one 
year  ago  and  even  considerably  less  than  were  being  asked 
about  October   1,  1921. 

The  claim  of  the  Lockwood  Committee  that  modern  apart- 
ments can  be  erected  that  will  rent  for  $9  per  room  is  not 
even  seriously  considered  by  builders  of  standing  who  have 
given  thought  to  this  subject.  They  all  state  that  in  order  to 
erect  such  buildings  it  will  be  necessary  to  cut  costs  at  least 
twenty-five  per  cent,  under  existing  levels  and  that  this  is 
manifestly  impossible. 

Samuel  B.  Donnelly,  secretary  of  the  Building  Trades  Em- 
ployers Association,  declared  that  statements  that  the  city  is 
short  "80,000  homes  for  400,000  residents"  and  that  "The  Hous- 
ing Shortage  Menaces  Life,"  are  absurd  and  known  to  be  so 
by  every  well  informed  resident  of  the  city. 

"Statistics  compiled  from  the  records  of  the  building  bureaus 
and  from  researches  made  by  competent  investigators  con- 
clusively prove  that  the  assertions  of  the  Lockwood  Committee 
are  not  based  upon  facts,"  said  Mr.  Donnelly. 

"The  wage  rates  of  all  mechanics  and  workmen  are  still  from 
fifty  to  one  hundred  per  cent,  above  the  pre-war  rates,  and 
the  number  of  the  unemployed  is  much  less  than  it  was  in  the 
years  1915  and  1916.    We  have  no  homeless  people. 

"The  housing  construction  now  under  way  and  projected  will 
exhaust  the  resources  of  the  material  and  labor  markets  and 
create  a  surplus  of  accommodations  greater  than  that  which 
existed  prior  to  the  placing  of  the  embargo  on  housing  con- 
struction by  the  Government  in  1918.  The  building  industry  is 
solving  the  problem. 

"The  fact  that  a  great  surplus  of  accommodations  existed 
when  the  war  embargo  became  effective  was  not  referred  to 
by  the  city  officials  who  testified  before  the  Lockwood  Com- 
mittee. That  the  population  of  the  city  increases  at  the  rate 
of  85.000  a  year  does  not  mean  that  17,000  apartments  must  be 
provided  annually.  It  is  not  necessary  that  an  additional  apart- 
ment or  house  should  be  constructed  whenever  five  babies  are 
born.  Babies  are  usually  born  in  existing  homes.  The  increase 
in  population  is  not  the  only  factor  that  must  be  considered  in 
estimating  the  shortage  or  surplus  of  housing  accommodations. 
The  migration  of  people  to  and  from  the  city,  marriage  rate, 
the  demolition  of  existing  habitations  and  many  other  factors 
must  be  considered. 

"The  report  of  the  Lockwood  Committee  clearly  conveys  the 
impression  that  it  wishes  to  create  in  the  public  mind  hostility 
toward  all  domiciles  erected  prior  to  1900  and  destroy  the  value 


Whether  "Untermyer  Plan"  Apartments 
Rent  at  $9  Per  Room 

of  not  only  the  cold  water  tenement  but  of  all  the  compara- 
tively old  residences  regardless  of  their  sanitary  condition. 

The  report  of  the  Joint  Legislative  Housing  Committee,  read 
in  the  light  of  facts  and  figures  in  possession  of  the  Real  Estate 
Board  of  New  York,  demonstrates  that  the  only  housing  short- 
age actually  existing  in  New  York  City  is  confined  to  the 
supply  of  comfortable,  convenient  and  thoroughly  sanitary 
habitations  within  the  means  of  the  poorer  classes.  A  state- 
ment  issued  by  the   Real   Estate   Board   follows: 

The  claim  of  he  Committee  that  there  is  locally  a  general  shortage  o£ 
housing  to  the  extent  of  80,000  living  apartments  is  founded  merely 
upon  an  estimate  of  the  Tenement  House  Commissioner  which  was  based 
upon  the  false  presumption  that  during  the  period  between  January  1, 
1917,  and  December  31,  1921,  the  increase  In  population  of  the  City  had 
been  greatly  In  excess  of  the  additional  housing  provided  during  that 
period. 

Concerning  the  'Untermyer  Plan"  for  relieving  the  con- 
gestion in  the  slums,  the  Real  Estate  Board  states  : 

Concerning  the  "Untermyer  Plan"  for  relieving  the  congestion  In  the 
slums,  the  Real  Estate  Board  states:  Locally,  and  in  every  large  city, 
there  is  and  always  has  been  a  shortage  of  comfortable  housing  available 
at  rentals  that  the  very  poor  can  pay.  No  one  familiar  with  local  con- 
ditions believes  that  this  situation  will  be  remedied  to  any  appreciable 
extent  by  the  "Untermyer  plan,"  for  it  is  generally  recognized  that,  under 
existing  construction  handicaps,  even  "cold  water  flats"  cannot  be  pro- 
duced to  rent  for  less  than  $8  per  room  per  month  to  pay  a  6%  return 
upon  their  cost.  The  average  workingman's  family  requires  at  least 
four  rooms,  tor  which  the  rent  would  be  at  least  $32  per  month,  which 
is  not  only  an  overwhelming  load  for  a  family  having  an  income  of  less 
than  $1,500  a  year,  but  is  a  higher  rent  than  is  now  being  paid  for  the 
general  run  of  "cold  water"  flats,  especially  in  the  congested  sections  of 
the  city.  Locally,  mechanics,  clerks  and  other  wage-earners  above  the 
"just  landed"  type  look  askance  upon  living  quarters  not  provided  with 
steam  heat,  hot  water  supply  and  a  bath  tub.  It  is  impossible  to  con- 
struct buildings  containing  apartments  having  such  conveniences  to  rent 
for  less  than  $12  per  month,  per  room,  at  a  reasonable  profit  to  the 
builder  or  owner.  How  many  families  of  modest  means  can  afford  to 
pay  a  rent   of  $48  per  month? 

The  Real  Estate  Board  of  New  York  contends  that  the 
surest  and  swiftest  way  to  provide  for  a  substantial  additional 
supply  of  desirable  housing  within  the  means  of  wage-earners 
would  be  to  convert  every  available  one-family  house  into 
living  quarters  for  two  or  three  families.  To  this  end  the 
Board  has  suggested  that  the  Tenement  House  law  be 
amended  to  render  the  statute  inapplicable  to  buildings  hous- 
ing not  more  than  three  families. 

G.  E.  Hardie,  engineer  of  the  Sage  Foundation  Homes  Com- 
pany of  Forest  Hills,  L.  I.,  says  that  the  "Untermyer  Plan"  is 
economically  unsound  and  incapable  of  fulfillment  and  a  "fool 
proposition  that  should  be  frowned  upon  by  every  one  whose 
interest  lies  in  bettering  the  home  conditions  of  the  city." 

In  a  report  to  his  company  Mr.  Hardie  declares  that  the 
proposal  is  a  retrograde  movement  in  home  building.    He  says : 

Mr.  Untermyer  should  know,  for  he  is  in  touch  with  proper  information 
sources,  what  class  of  construction  would  go  into  such  a  building  project 
as  he  proposes.  He  pi'oposes  high  finance  and  low  construction.  He  pro- 
poses $8  a  room  apartments,  that  will  be  $4  a  room  in  five  years,  and 
possibly  $2  a  room  within  fifteen  years,  for  if  he  knows  the  buildin? 
game  he  will  have  a  knowledge  of  what  will  be  taking  place  day  by  day 
in  such   a  building,  built  along  the  lines  he  proposes. 

"As  the  housing  situation  eases  up  the  $8  tenant  will  surely  move, 
unless  this  "home"  which  the  Lockwood  committee  has  provided  for  him 
has  degraded  him  In  like  manner  as  the  building  has  degraded  everything 
connected  with  the  name  of  home.  Then  the  $6  tenant  will  move  In  and 
stay  until  decay's  alarm  chases  him  away  also,  and  along  down  the  scale 
of  human  de.=iiro  and  human  endeavor,  till  we  reach  the  low  level  of 
man  and  womanhood  that  knows  not  the  finer  feeling  of  home  life  and 
wants  none  of  It— this  will  all  surely  happen  Inside  of  fifteen  years  and 
)f  human  desire  and  human  endeavor,  till  we  reach  the  low  level  of 
Mr.    Untermyer    knows    It. 

Mr.  Hardie,  in  conclusion,  says  that  the  public  is  not  yet 
informed  as  to  the  expense  of  financing  the  Untermyer  plan, 
the  ultimate  ownership  and  operation  of  the  1,500  apartment 
units  proposed  and  the  terms  on  which  title  to  these  may  be 
secured  by  private  individuals. 


182  RECORD    AND    GUIDE  February  11,  1922 

Building  Totals  for  January  Show  Gain  Over  Last  Year 

Figures  of  F.  W.  Dodge  Company  Indicate   Construction   Revival  Will    Start 
Throughout  United  States  Early  Next  Spring 


JANUARY  construction  activity  was  49  per  cent,  greater  in 
volume  than  it  was  in  the  corresponding  month  of  last  year, 
according  to  the  F.  W.  Dodge  Company.  The  total  amount 
of  contracts  awarded  last  month  in  the  27  northeastern  states  of 
the  country  was  $166,320,000.  Although  this  represented  a  decline 
of  16  per  cent,  from  the  previous  month,  it  was  the  second  largest 
January  total  of  the  Dodge  Company's  statistical  record,  having 
been  exceeded  only  in  January,  1920. 

Not  only  did  the  work  actually  started  in  January,  as  indicated 
by  the  awards  of  contracts,  hold  up  exceedingly  well  for  this  season, 
but  the  volume  of  contemplated  new  work  reported,  amounting  to 
$435,859,000,  was  the  largest  monthly  total  of  contemplated  work 
reported  since  April,  1921,  registering  an  increase  of  3  per  cent. 
over  the  amount  reported  in  December,  and  27  per  cent,  over  the 
amount  reported  in  January,  1921.  All  this  indicates  an  increased 
volume  of  construction  in  1922. 

Residential  building  accounted  for  45  per  cent,  of  the  January 
total,  amounting  to  $75,728,000.  Business  buildings  amounted  to 
$23,694,000,  or  14  per  cent,  of  the  total;  industrial  buildings, 
$19,695,000,  or  12  per  cent.;  public  works  and  utilities,  $18,735,000, 
or  11  per  cent.  Industrial  building,  although  small,  sliowed  a 
gratifying  increase  over  the  previous  month. 

Contracts  awarded  in  the  New  England  States  during  January 
amounted  to  $16,005,000.  Although  this  is  a  40  per  cent,  decline 
from  the  preceding  month,  it  is  nearly  double  the  figure  for 
January,   1921. 

Among  the  items  included  in  the  January,  1922,  total  was  the 
following:  $5,090,000,  or  32  per  cent.,  for  residential  buildings; 
$3,283,000,  or  20  per  cent,  for  industrial  buildings;  $3,137,000,  or 
19  per  cent.,  for  business  buildings,  and  $1,307,000,  or  8  per  cent., 
for   educational   buildings. 

Contemplated  new  work  reported  in  January  amounted  to 
$43,778,000,  an  increase  of  40  per  cent,  over  the  volume  of  con- 
templated  work   reported  in   December. 


In  New  York  State  and  Northern  New  Jersey,  January  building 
contracts  amounted  to  $54,260,000,  just  two  and  a  half  times  the 
amount  for  January,  1921.  Although  there  was  a  decrease  of  13 
per  cent,  in  January,  1922,  from  the  previous  month,  the  January 
total  was  equal  to  the  average  monthly  figure  for  1921,  an  unusually 
high  January  record.  In  fact,  this  is  the  second  largest  January 
figure   for   this   district  in   the   Dodge   Company's   record. 

The  month's  figures  included:  $35,330,000,  or  65  per  cent,  for 
residential  buildings,  $6,420,000,  or  12  per  cent.,  for  business  build- 
ings, and  $4,724,000,  or  9  per  cent.,  for  industrial  buildings. 

Contemplated  new  work  reported  during  the  month  amounted  to 
$88,669,000,  an  increase  of  4  per  cent,  over  the  amount  reported 
in   the   preceding   month. 

January  building  contracts  let  in  the  Middle  Atlantic  States 
(Eastern  Pennsylvania,  Southern  New  Jersey,  Delaware,  Maryland, 
District  of  Columbia,  Virginia  and  the  Carolinas)  amounted  to 
$24,237,000,  a  decrease  of  24  per  cent,  from  the  preceding  month, 
but  a  marked  increase  over  the  corresponding  month  of  last  year. 
The  January,  1922,  total  included  the  following  items :  $12,849,000, 
or  53  per  cent.,  for  residential  buildings;  $2,699,000,  or  11  per  cent., 
for  business  buildings,  $2,304,000,  or  9  per  cent,  for  public  works 
and  utilities;  $2,205,000,  or  9  per  cent.,  for  educational  buildings; 
and  $2,055,000,  or  8  per  cent.,   for  industrial  buildings. 

Contemplated  new  work  reported  during  the  month  amounted  to 
$65,795,000,  an  increase  of  22  per  cent,  over  the  volume  of  con- 
templated work  reported  in  December. 

Contracts  awarded  during  January  in  Western  Pennsylvania, 
West  Virginia,  Ohio,  Kentucky,  and  Tennessee,  amounted  to 
$25,966,000,  an  increase  of  16  per  cent,  over  the  preceding  month, 
and  a  decrease  of  6  per  cent,  from  January,  1921. 

Included  in  the  January,  1922,  figures  were  the  following  items: 
$7,966,000,  or  31  per  cent.,  for  residential  buildings;  $5,203,000,  or 
20  per  cent.,  for  industrial  plants;  $4,973,000,  or  10  per  cent.,  for 
public  works  and  utilities;  and  $2,697,000  for  business. 


Awards  Announced  in  Tenement  House  Plan  Competition 


AA^'ARDS  have  been  announced  in  the  final  competition 
for  model  tenements  which  was  held  under  the  auspices 
of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce,  the  Merchants'  Associa- 
tion, the  Advisory  Council  of  Real  Estate  Interests,  the  Real 
Estate  Board  of  New  York  and  the  trustees  of  the  Phelps- 
Stokes  Fund.  In  the  preliminary  competition  forty-nine  archi- 
tects submitted  ninety-four  plans,  and  from  these  the  jury 
of  award  selected  thirteen  for  final  consideration  at  its  recent 
session. 

Seven  of  the  plans  were  chosen  for  further  development  in 
accordance  with  the  terms  of  the  competition  and  from  these 
the  awards  were  made  as  follows :  Class  A,  first  prize,  con- 
sisting of  the  commission  to  erect  a  model  tenement  house  on 
a  lot  100x100  feet,  Sibley  &  Featherston,  101  Park  Avenue; 
second  prize,  $1,500  to  Frank  J.  Schefcik,  4168  Park  Avenue; 
third  prize,  $1,000  to  John  Tompkins,  139  East  Fifty-third 
street.  In  addition  a  supplementary  prize  of  $100  was  awarded 
to  Raymond  M.  Hood,  7  West  Forty-second  street,  for  his 
plan    submitted   in    the   preliminary   competition,    under    Class   B. 

The  purpose  of  the  competition,  which  was  open  to  all  mem- 
bers of  the  New  York  and  Brooklyn  chapters  of  the  American 
Institute  of  Architects  and  of  the  New  York  Society  of  Archi- 
tects, is  to  take  advantage  of  the  development  in  scientific 
planning  and  economic  construction  which  has  taken  place 
since  the  competition  for  model  tenements  held  twenty-two 
years  ago  under  the  auspices  of  the  Charity  Organization  So- 
ciety and  which  later  resulted  in  the  appointment  of  the  New 
York  State  Tenement  House  Commission  and  the  drafting  and 
enactment  of  the   present  Tenement  House  Law. 

The  Phelps-Stokes  Foundation  is  planning  to  commence  the 
construction   of    a    model   tenement    from    the    prize-winning    de- 


sign and  it  was  stated  by  officials  of  this  fund  that  the  struc- 
ture could  be  erected  at  a  cost  that  would  permit  four  room 
apartments  to  be  rented  at  $31  per  month,  or  a  figure  only  20 
per  cent,  higher  than  pre-war  rentals  for  living  units  of  the 
same  general  character  but  with  inferior  equipment.  Mr. 
Phelps-Stokes,  in  discussing  tlie  results  of  this  competition, 
stated  that  the  apartment  could  be  erected  on  a  cost  basis 
that  would  net  on  the  investment  at  least  seven  per  cent,  from 
rents  less  than  $7.50  per  room  per  month. 

This  model  tenement  for  workingmen's  families  will  be 
erected  on  a  plot  100x100  feet,  with  forty-six  rooms,  exclusive 
of  baths,  on  each  floor.  For  $1.80  per  room  a  week,  plus  60 
cents  for  bathroom,  or  $16.80  a  month  for  two  rooms ;  $24 
for  three  rooms  and  $31.20  for  four  rooms,  a  workingman  will 
be  able  to  rent  a  large,  light  apartment  with  hot  water,  steam 
heat,  electric  lights  and  janitor  service. 

Several  prominent  builders,  with  long  experience  in  the  con- 
struction of  multi-family  housing  projects  in  this  city,  stated  in 
discussing  this  projected  operation  with  a  representative  of 
the  Record  and  Guide  that  the  progenitors  of  the  plan  must 
have  some  entirely  new  scheme  of  building  if  the  costs  are  to 
be  kept  down  to  a  point  where  these  extremely  low  rentals 
will  provide  any  margin  of  profit  at  all.  Some  were  positive 
in  stating  that  it  cannot  be  done  and  that  the  old-fashioned 
cold-water  tenements  could  not  be  erected  under  present  costs 
to  rent  at  such  figures  as  announced. 

So  far  no  responsible  firm  of  builders  has  been  quoted  as 
willing  to  assume  a  contract  for  the  construction  of  a  building 
from  these  plans  for  the  stipulated  sum  and  until  such  a 
statement  is  forthcoming  practical  builders  are  likely  to  remain 
apathetic  regarding  this  plan.

Report  Shows  Seasonal  Drop  in  Building  Commitments 

Figures  of  F.  W.  Dodge  Company  Indicate  Influence  of  Inclement  Weather  on 
Construction  Industry  Throughout  Metropolitan  Area 

CONSTRUCTION  records  for  the  fifth  week  of  1922  show 
a  slight  drop  in  the  total  commitments  in  New  York  State 
and  New  Jersey,  north  of  Trenton,  when  compared  with 
the  figures  for  the  previous  weeks  but  the  decrease  is  largely 
attributed  to  inclement  weather  conditions  that  have  prohibited 
work  on  new  structures.  The  statistics  of  projected  work  in- 
dicate a  steady  increase  in  the  volume  of  both  building  and 
engineering  construction  being  planned  for  an  early  spring 
Start  and  as  a  result  the  outlook  for  the  coming  season  grows 
more  promising  each  passing  week. 

According  to  figures  compiled  by  the  F.  W.  Dodge  Company 
work  on  plans  for  381  new  building  and  engineering  operations 
was  reported  in  this  territory  during  the  week  of  January  28 
to  February  3,  inclusive.  These  projects  will  involve  a  total 
expenditure  of  approximately  $15,798,800.  During  the  same 
week  225  contracts  were  reported  at  an  estimated  total  valua- 
ttion  of  $5,421,900. 

Study  of  these  figures  shows  a  steady  increase  in  residential 
construction  throughout  this  territory  with  about  two-thirds 
of    the    total    of    proposed    building    devoted    to    this    type    of 


project.  The  ratio  is  not  nearly  so  great  when  the  totals  for 
contracts  actually  awarded  are  analyzed,  but  this  type  of 
operation  also  continues  to  dominate  recent  commitments. 

Among  the  381  projects  for  which  plans  were  reported  during 
the  fifth  week  of  1922  were  63  business  buildings  such  as 
stores,  offices,  lofts,  commercial  garages,  etc.,  $1,684,500;  9  edu- 
cational projects,  $1,707,000;  1  hospital,  $30,000;  15  factory  and 
industrial  buildings,  $972,400;  4  public  works  and  public  util- 
ities, $106,000;  5  religious  and  memorial  projects,  $270,000;  268 
residential  operations,  including  apartments,  flats  and  tenements 
and  one  and  two-family  dwellings,  $10,355,900  and  14  social  and 
recreational  projects,  $673,000. 

The  list  of  225  projects  for  which  contracts  were  awarded 
during  the  week  of  January  28  to  February  3  inclusive  was 
grouped  as  follows:  39  business  buildings  of  various  types, 
$1,537,500;  4  educational  projects,  $625,000;  4  hospitals  and  in- 
stitutions, $978,700;  9  factory  and  industrial  buildings,  $224,000; 
1  public  building,  $50,000;  4  public  works  and  public  utilities, 
$147,400;  1  religious  edifice,  $125,000;  162  residential  projects  of 
various  types,  $1,519,300  and  2  social  and  recreational  buildings, 
$215,000.

CURRENT    BUILDING    OPERATIONS 


A  STEADY  improvement  has  been  noticed 
since  the  firct  of  the  year  in  the  local 
building  situati-/^i,  and  both  contractors 
and  material  dealers  are  confident  that  a 
season  of  unusual  activity  is  rapidly  ap- 
proaching. During  the  past  few  weeks 
commitments  for  new  projects  have  beon 
numerous,  and  theer  is  a  large  amount  of 
proposed  work  being  released  for  bids. 
The  construction  recently  reported  is  ex- 
cellently diversified  as  to  character  and 
although  residential  construction  is  in  the 
majority,  the  proposed  activity  scheduled 
for  the  Metropolitan  district  includes  a 
growing  percentage  of  commercial  and  in- 
dustrial work  and  a  goodly  number  of  the- 
atres, schools,  parish  houses,  etc.,  and  sev- 
eral large  private   residences. 

Reports  from  speculative  interests  both 
in  New  York  City  and  in  suburban  dis- 
tricts indicate  an  early  start  on  the  1922 
residential  building  program.  Architects 
have  been  exceptionally  busy  during  the 
past  few  months  on  multi-family  house 
projects,  with  the  Bronx  and  Brooklyn  as 
the  most  popular  locations,  but  with  Man- 
hattan and  Queens  also  showing  consider- 
able activity   in  this  respect. 

Although  local  building  material  mar- 
kets are  quiet  at  present,  there  has  been  a 
considerable  amount  of  new  inquiry  cur- 
rent of  late  that  indicates  an  early  re- 
sumption of  construction  on  a  large  scale. 
Some  anxiety  has  recently  been  felt  re- 
garding the  prospects  of  adequate  material 
supplies  to  fill  the  building  requirements 
of  this  city  during  the  forthcoming  season. 
At  present  there  is  no  over-supply  of  com- 
mon brick  and  other  materials,  notably 
Portland  cement,  lime,  lath  and  lumber  are 
not  protected  by  heavy  reserves  and  prices 
are  very  firm. 

Common  Brick — The  New  York  whole- 
sale market  for  Hudson  River  common 
brick  has  been  very  quiet  during  the  past 
week,  largely  because  there  is  so  little 
brick  on  hand  to  be  sold.  The  ice-bound 
condition  of  the  river  has  prevented  arri- 
vals of  new  brick  and  at  present  there  is 
a  scarcity  of  brick  in  the  wholesale  mar- 
ket, although  the  dealers'  yards  are  sup- 
plied with  brick  suffcient  for  any  emer- 
gency. Reports  have  been  current  this 
week  that  common  brick  is  coming  into 
New  York  City  by  rail,  but  not  in  sufficient 
quantities  to  affect  the  market.  Several 
of  the  inland  plants,  at  Cohoes  and  Me- 
chanicsville,  have  consigned  brick  to  New 
York  by  rail  and  will  in  all  probability 
continue  to  ship  by  this  method  as  long  as 
the  river  is  closed  to  navigation.  Accord- 
ing  to    the    condition    of    the    ice    up-river. 


it  is  likely  that  brick  barges  will  not  be 
able  to  set  through  until  the  middle  of 
March  at  least.  Common  briclv  prices  are 
very  firm  in  the  wholesale  marlvet,  with 
$17  a  thousand  the  base  figure  quoted. 

Siiniiuary  —  Transaction  in  the  North 
River  brick  market  for  the  week  ending 
Thursday.  February  9,  1922.  Condition  of 
market:  Demand  light;  prices  very  firm 
and  witli  a  tendency  to  advance.  Quota-

dealers  in  cargo  lots  alongside  dock.  Num-

tribution: Manhattan,  2;  Brooklyn,  2.     Re- 


maining unsold  in  the  New  York  wholesale

Fiice  Brick — Demand  is  steadily  growing 
for  face  brick,  and  Neiv  York  dealers  are 
confident  that  the  early  spring  montlis  will 
witness  a  tremendous  improvement  in  this 
business.  The  large  number  of  high-class 
apartments  scheduled  for  erection  next 
spring  and  summer  and  the  large  amount 
of  office  buildine;  and  similar  construction 
on  the  program  indicates  an  active  de- 
mand tor  face  brick.  Prices  are  very  firm 
and  in  a  number  of  instances  showing  an 
advancing  tendency.

Lime — The  market  is  dull  at  present,  but 
the  anticipated  revival  ot  building-  next 
spring  will  materially  change  conditions 
for  the  better.  Announcement  has  been 
made  this  week  that  common  lime  prices, 
with  the  exception  of  New  Milford  brands, 
have  been  reduced  by  the  manufacturers. 
The  new  price  on  common  lime,  in  three 
hundred  pound  barrels,  delivered,  is  $3.75 
per  barrel. 

Lnniber — Demand  for  lumber  is  increas- 
ing slightly  as  a  result  ot  retail  yards  buy- 
ing stocks  so  as  to  be  ready  for  the  early 
spring  demand.     Retailers  throughout  the 


Metropolitan  district  report  excellent 
prospects  for  a  vast  amount  of  business 
from  speculative  building  interests  who 
are  preparing  for  an  unusually  busy  sea- 
son. Although  the  wholesale  movement  of 
lumber  has  been  showing  some  improve- 
ment, there  is  no  increase  in  the  amount  of 
this  material  coming:  in  from  production 
points.  As  a  matter  ot  fact  the  mill  situ- 
ation is  quiet  and  the  production  is  con- 
siderably under  the  rate  of  consumption  at 
present.  Lumber  prices  are  very  firm  and 
several  important  items  have  recently  ad- 
vanced.

Electrical  Supplies — Increased  business 
has  marked  the  past  week  or  so  and  both 
manufacturers  and  dealers  feel  that  a  real 
buying  movement  has  started.  Demand  for 
wiring  materials  for  new  construction 
projects  is  steadily  improving,  and  as  there 
is  every  likelihood  of  a  steady  increase 
in  the  number  of  active  building  opera- 
tions the  future  of  the  market  is  bright. 
Prices  are  fairly  steady,  with  several 
slight  reductions  reported,  but  which  were 
not  sufficient  to  alfect  the  market.  Sup- 
plies are  adequate  for  all  immediate  de- 
mands, and  manufacturers  are  in  a  posi- 
tion to  fill  orders  promptly. 

Structural  Steel — Tonnage  commitments 
for  fabricated  structural  steel  have  im- 
proved materially  during  the  past  week  or 
so.  and  according  to  all  reports  the  local 
market  is  now  on  a  sound  basis.  There  Is 
every  probability  that  demand  for  fabri- 
cated steel  will  continue  to  gain  in  In- 
tensity, as  there  is  a  large  amount  ot  im- 
portant construction  for  which  plans  are 
rapidly  maturing  and  which  will  be  re- 
leased for  bids  within  the  next  few  weeks 
at  most.  Recent  commitments  have  ranged 
from  8,0000  to  1,000  tons  for  individual 
projects  and  include  several  office  building 
operations  and  multi-family  house  jobs  In 
Manhattan.  Prices  are  fairly  steady  and 
quotations  are  holding;  at  $60  to  $65  per 
ton,  fabricated  and  erected. 

Cast  Iron  Pipe — Manufacturers  are  fair- 
ly well  satisfied  with  conditions,  as  the 
demand  has  been  excellent  throughout  the 
winter,  and  prospects  for  early  spring 
business  are  better  than  they  have  been 
for  several  years.  At  present  municipal 
demand  is  dull,  but  private  buying  Is  quite 
active.  Prices  are  steady  and  show  no 
change  since  last  week. 

WindoTv  Glass  —  Some  of  the  important 
manufacturers  recently  announced  a  re- 
duction of  approximately  twenty-two  per 
cent,  in  their  price  lists  and  the  new 
schedule  will  in  all  probal>ility  remain  in 
force  until  a  protective  tariff  schedule  can 
be  worked  out  to  give  adequate  protection 
to  American  glass  industries.  This  reduc- 
tion in  glass  prices  was  largely  the  result 
of  the  thirty  per  cent,  "wage  cut  that  has 
been  agreed  upon  as  a  compromise 
measure  by  representatives  of  the  Nation- 
al Window  Glass  Workers'  Association. 
This  measure  will  affect  approximately 
100,000  glass  workers.  The  original  de- 
mand ot  the  manufacturers  was  for  a  re- 
duction of  forty-five  per  cent.,  but  the 
unions  seriously  opposed  this,  and  as  a 
result  of  a  general  conference  with  union 
officials  the  compromise  offer  of  the  unions 
was  finally  accepted  by  the  employers.

guarantee  of  our  Company  that  there"

usually  so  adept,  evidently  slipped  a  cog  somewhere  in 
announcing  that  the  report  of  that  committee  would  be 
submitted  to  the  Legislature  at  Albany  last  Monday  eve- 
ning. The  Lockwood  report  which  Chief  Counsel  Unter- 
myer  has  been  preparing  aboard  the  houseboat  Nirodha, 
cruising  in  the  vicinity  of  Palm  Beach,  was  not  presented 
when  the  legislators  reconvened,  but  in  its  stead  Senator 
Lockwood  submitted  a  brief  statement  which  had  for  its 
liigh  spot  the  claim  that  the  committee  has  saved  $280,- 
000,000  for  tenants  in  New  York  City.  Any  committee 
which  has  saved  $280,000,000  for  anybody  in  these  hard 
times,  the  statement  seemed  to  intimate,  ought  to  have  an 
extension  of  life  so  it  could  save  $280,000,000  more  for 
somebody.  Suiting  actions' to  words.  Senator  Lockwood 
on  Tuesday  offered  a  concurrent  resolution  extending  the 
life  of  his  committee  until  March  1,  1923,  and  providing 
an  appropriation  of  $79,000  to  cover  its  deficit  and  $50,000 
for  paying  the  freight  on  the  committee's  further  activi- 
ties. 

There  was  disappointment  in  the  legislative  halls  when 
the  Lockwood  Committee's  report  failed  to  make  its  ap- 
pearance as  scheduled  on  Monday  evening.  The  claim  that 
the  committee  had  saved  $280,000,000  got  big  headlines 
in  all  the  newspapers,  of  course,  and  some  thoughtless 
persons  immediately  jumped  to  the  conclusion  that  Chief 
Counsel  Untermyer,  even  though  way  down  South  in  the 
houseboat,  had  been  heard  from  and  had  lost  none  of 
his  genius  for  holding  the  newspaper  spotlight.  A  little 
further  along,  however,  the  Monday-night  statement  de- 
clared that  the  work  of  the  Lockwood  Committee,  to  be 
done  successfully,  "had,  and  has  to  be,  under  the 
direction  of  a  lawyer  of  great  experience  and  ability 
and  of  wonderful  industry,"  and,  furthermore,  that 
"the  people  of  the  state  have  been  most  fortunate  that  the 
committee  has  as  counsel  the  Hon.  Samuel  Untermyer." 
As  the  reading  proceeded  there  naturally  arose  a  question 
if  Senator  Lockwood  was  submitting  to  the  Legislature 
the  real,  blown-in-the-bottle  report  of  the  committee  as 
prepared  by  Chief  Counsel  Untermyer  aboard  the  house- 
boat Nirodha.  There  must  be  some  mistake,  the  thought 
evidently  ran  through  the  minds  of  the  legislators,  for 
certainly  Mr.  Untermyer,  even  though  glowing  in  the 
warm  rays  of  the  Florida  sun,  hardly  would  feel  called 
upon  to  pay,  in  a  report  of  his  own  preparation,  such  a 
handsome  tribute  to  the  Lockwood  Committee's  Chief 
Counsel.  Mr.  Untermyer's  modesty,  it  was  all  too  appar- 
ent, would  have  prevented. 

Upon  second  thought,  therefore,  the  members  of  the 
Legislature  must  have  realized  that  what  they  were  hear- 
ing was  not  Mr.  Untermyer's  report  for  the  Lockwood 
Committee  but  a  little  curtain-raiser  prepared  by  the  com- 
mittee itself.  And  such  proved  to  be  the  case.  That  tlie 
legislators  were  disappointed  is  clear,  for  Albany  dis- 
patches state  that  they  received  in  silence  this  preliminary 
report  from  Senator  Lockwood,  not  going  wild  over  the 


news  that  the  Lockwood  Committee  had  saved  New  York 
tenants  $280,000,000,  and  not  cheering  madly  the  revela- 
tion ihat  the  committee  stands  ready  to  save  hundreds  of 
millions  more  if  given  a  new  lease  of  life. 

Later  advices  from  the  State  Capital  are  to  the  effect 
that  the  real  thing  in  the  way  of  a  Lockwood  Committee 
report  is  yet  to  come.  It  won't  all  come  at  once,  it  seems, 
but  will  be  administered  to  the  legislators  in  homeopathic 
doses.  Chief  Counsel  Untermyer  was  not  ready  with  the 
real  report  last  Monday  night,  but  he  has  now  sent  to 
Senator  Lockwood  Chapter  1,  and  it  is  announced  that 
the  report  will  be  submitted  to  the  Legislature  from  time 
to  time  in  serial  form,  each  chapter  presumably  to  be 
closed  with  the  phrase,  (in  italics  and  enclosed  in  paren- 
theses), "To  be  continued  in  our  next,"  This  novel  ar- 
rangement should  stimulate  interest  and  arouse,  in  in- 
creasing ratio,  the  curiosity  of  the  Lockwood  Committee 
members  and  the  other  legislators.  When  Chief  Counsel 
Untermyer  has  finished  his  labor  it  is  to  be  expected  that 
the  Legislature  will  have  before  it  a  Lockwood  Commit- 
tee report  which  will  be  recognized  at  once  as  the  genuine 
article.  The  preliminary  report  submitted  by  Senator 
Lockwood  last  Monday  night  perhaps  will  seem  like  a 
Florida  zephyr  as  compared  with  a  West  Lidian  typhoon 
when  the  real  report  comes  along. 

And  in  the  meantime,  while  the  Legislature  is  waiting 
to  hear  from  Mr.  Untermyer,  might  it  not  be  proper  to 
suggest  that,  if  the  Lockwood  Committee  really  has  saved 
$280,000,000  for  New  York  tenants,  the  committee  takes 
steps  to  have  this  vast  sum  utilized  for  the  immediate 
construction  of  additional  homes  for  the  homeless.  It 
seems  hardly  fair  that  the  Lockwood  Committee  should 
be  struggling  to  get  $100,000,000  from  the  insurance  com- 
panies for  building  more  homes  if  this  $280,000,000  al- 
ready saved  is  floating  around  in  the  hot  air  somewhere. 


Interests  of  Public  Should  Come  First 

Without  taking  time  to  thoroughly  digest  the  provisions 
of  several  bills  recently  introduced  in  the  Legislature, 
designed  to  bring  about  the  settlement  of  industrial  dis- 
putes without  resort  to  strikes  and  lockouts,  labor  leaders 
have  expressed  alarm  and  indignation  that  this  effort 
should  be  made  to  protect  the  public  from  the  serious  con- 
sequences of  disputes  between  labor  and  capital,  for  the 
arbitrament  of  which  there  is  no  established  court  of  last 
resort.  Employers  have  not  yet  publicly  expressed  ap- 
proval or  disapproval  of  the  measure  introduced  by  Sena- 
tor Duell,  which  provides  for  an  Industrial  Term  of  the 
Supreme  Court,  or  the  plan  sponsored  by  Assemblyman 
Miller,  proposing  the  creation  of  an  industrial  trial  jury 
panel  of  100  representative  citizens  from  which  may  be 
drafted  three  members  to  act  as  a  board  of  mediation  and 
conciliation. 

The  New  York  State  Federation  of  Labor  denounces 
the  bills  as  revolutionary;  as  Bolshevism;  as  unfair  to 
employer  and  employee  alike,  in  that  the  measures  would 
prevent  a  private  settlement  between  these  two  interested

parties;  that  the  bills  emanate  from  advocates  of  the 
"open  shop"  who  seek  to  defeat  trades  unionism  in  the 
courts,  knowing  organized  labor  cannot  bear  the  enormous 
expenses  of  extended  litigation. 

Governor  Miller,  on  the  other  hand,  before  committing 
himself  to  any  specific  method  for  settling  industrial  dis- 
putes, reserves  the  right  to  examine  the  question  of  the 
establishment  of  a  tribunal  for  the  weighing  and  final  de- 
cision of  questions  constantly  arising  between  employers 
and  employees,  to  which  representatives  of  capital,  of 
labor  and  of  the  public  shall  state  their  cases  and  the  de- 
cisions of  which  must  be  based  on  the  rights  of,  and  jus- 
tice to,  every  member  of  the  community. 

Of  the  three  chief  'parties  interested  in  the  matter, 
numerically  the  strongest,  the  general  public  has  recently 
shown  unmistakable  signs  of  impatience  with  the  methods 
heretofore  indulged  in  by  the  other  two,  the  employers 
and  employees,  in  their  clashes  over  wages  and  working 
conditions. 

The  street-car  magnate  in  an  Ohio  city  is  just  as  much 
incensed  by  the  absurd  prolongation  of  a  strike  in  the 
.shoe  factories  of  Massachusetts  which  sends  the  price  of 
footwear  soaring  as  is  the  shipyard  worker  along  the  Del- 
aware, or  the  Kansas  farmer.  All  suffer  alike.  Each  real- 
izes that  the  Boston  shoe  manufacturers  and  their  em- 
ployees should  use  a  little  common  sense,  get  together  and 
compromise  their  difficulties,  or  at  least  seek  immediate 
arbitration  with  complete  acquiescence  in  the  award.  The 
street-car  magnate,  the  shipyard  worker  and  the  farmer 
can  all  see  what  is  the  right  thing  to  do  in  the  shoe  strike, 
but  when  it  comes  to  a  question  of  wages  of  conductors 
and  motormen  the  magnate  is  unwilling  to  listen  to  reason ; 


when  the  shipyard  worker's  pay  is  cut  he  resorts  to  vio- 
lence ;  and  when  the  price  of  wheat  falls  declivitously  the 
farmer  reduces  his  acreage  and  holds  his  crop  in  the 
granaries  until  quotations  rise. 

The  fault  lies  in  the  fact  that  each  man  wants  to  be 
exempt  from  the  regulations  which  he  feels  are  justifi- 
able for  the  concerns  of  other  men.  The  antithesis  of 
this  is  the  realization  that  only  by  the  enforcement  of 
general  laws  and  regulations  can  the  rights  of  the  whole 
people  be  safeguarded  and  their  interests  enhanced  in 
value.  This  is  why  eventually  there  must  be  established 
a  tribunal  of  some  sort  to  inquire  into  and  decide  judicial- 
ly all  industrial  disputes.  There  is  much  to  be  said  for 
the  Grand  Jury  idea  latent  in  Assemblyman  Miller's  bill, 
and  there  is  more  to  be  praised  than  criticised  in  many  of 
the  provisions  of  the  Duell  bill.  Certainly  this  bill,  upon 
which  the  maledictions  of  organized  labor  are  especially 
centered,  does  not,  as  is  asserted,  prevent  employers  and 
employees  from  getting  together  and  settling  their  own 
difi^erences.  On  the  other  hand,  it  specifically  enjoins 
such  action,  and  not  until  after  the  parties  to  the  dispute 
have  e.xerted  every  effort  to  come  together  does  it  lay 
down  a  course  of  action  finally  reaching  the  Industrial 
Relations  Term  of  the  Supreme  Court. 

It  is  not  to  be  expected  that  either  of  the  measures  now 
before  the  Legislature  is  perfect.  They  both  merit,  how- 
ever, that  attention  which  Governor  Miller  proposes  to 
give  them,  and  they  should  be  carefully  studied  by  the 
representatives  of  labor  and  by  employers,  neither  of  whom 
can  much  longer  withstand  the  demand  for  the  inaugura- 
tion of  some  system  by  which  the  public  shall  cease  to  be 
the  chief  sufferer   from  strikes  and  lockouts. 


Propose  to  Levy  Cost  of  Removal  of  42d  Street  "L"  Spur  on  Taxpayers 


REPRESENTATIVES   of    property   owners   on    Forty-second 
Street  have  appealed  to   the  Legislature   for   relief    from   a 
peculiar  situation  which  prevents  the  removal  of  the  elevated 
spur   from  Third  Avenue  to  Grand  Central  station. 

A  law  which  was  enacted  with  that  end  in  view  during  the 
1917  session,  representatives  of  the  property  owners  asserted,  has 
remained  ineffective  because  of  the  impossibility  of  tracing  $325,000 
out  of  a  total  of  $800,000  raised  by  railroad  promoters  to  in- 
demnify owners  of  abutting  property  when  the  elevated  structure 
was  set  up  in  Forty-second,  in  1870. 

When  the  proposal  to  discontinue  the  Third  Avenue-Grand  Cen- 
tral link  was  first  broached  the  company  demanded  that  the  city 
pay  to  it  $1,250,000  in  return  for  what  it  had  spent,  as  indemnity. 
The  city,  it  was  stated,  started  out  to  levy  assessments  against  the 
properties  involved  in  amounts  identical  with  those  received  in  in- 
demnity by  the  owners  forty  years  ago.  Search  in  the  County 
Clerk's  office,   according  to  the  story  told  here,  however,   showed 


that  only  $475,000  actually  had  been  paid  to  the  owners  of  ad- 
joining property.  Where  the  rest  of  the  money  went  remains  an 
enigma. 

In  making  its  new  fight,  the  Forty-second  Street  Association 
has  caused  to  be  introduced  a  bill  w^hich  would  permit  the  Board 
of  Estimate  to  levy  the  cost  of  removing  the  structure,  including 
the  payment  of  any  claim  advanced  by  the  railway  company,  against 
the  entire  city  instead  of  against  property  owners  within  the  area 
originally  defined  as  specially  benefited  by  the  removal  of  the  ele- 
vated structure.  The  members'of  the  Forty-second  Street  Asso- 
ciation vigorously  oppose  the  proposal  to  honor  the  claim  of  the 
railway  company.  The  company,  however,  insists  on  getting  its 
original  $8n0,000  back. 

.\ssemblyman  John  J.  O'Connor,  representing  Tammany  Leader 
Murphy's  district,  is  sponsor  for  the  new  bill,  which  has  been 
approved  by  the  Hylan  administration  as  part  of  a  plan  to  beautify 
Pershing  Square. 


Production  of  Fabricated  Steel  in  1921  Was  Low 


THE  records  of  the  Bridge  Builders  and  Structural  Society, 
from  reports  collected  by  its  secretary,  George  E.  Gififord, 
SO  Church  Street,  New  York,  show  that  in  December 
71,500  tons  of  fabricated  steel  was  contracted  for  throughout 
the  United  States.  This  is  roughly  equivalent  to  40  per  cent,  of 
the  capacity  of  the  bridge  and  structural  shops  of  the  country, 
put  at  180,000  tons   per  month. 

The  total  fabricated  steel  business  for  1921  appears  thus  to 
be  758,000  tons  or  35  per  cent,  of  annual  capacity.  This  ex- 
ceedingly low  performance  of  slightly  over  63,000  tons  per 
month  compares  with  about  90,000  tons  per  month  in  the  two 
poor  years  of  1913  and  1914  and  with  nearly  105,000  tons  per 
month  for  the  nine  years  of  1912  to   1920  inclusive.     Whereas 


normally  the  tenth  year  of  the  decade  should,  other  things 
being  equal,  show  a  large  total,  as  a  mark  of  the  expansion  of 
the  country,  the  1921  volume  is  in  fact  only  70  per  cent,  of 
either  of  the  two  poorest  years  for  which  records  are  avail- 
able. The  foregoing  recapitulation  is  merely  another  com- 
mentary on  a  year  which  furnishes  many  records  for  low  pro- 
duction. 

Electrical  exports  for  the  calendar  year  1921  are  reported 
by  the  Department  of  Commerce  at  $97,935,597,  compared 
with  $102,870,434  in  1920.  Chief  among  the  items  recording 
losses  were  batteries,  interior  wiring  and  fi.xtures,  magnetos 
and  spark  plugs  and  electric  locomotives.  Increases  were 
made    in    motors,    telephones    and    transformers.

have  it  out  in  the  open." 

Senator  Lockwood  announced  that  the  report  of  the  Hous- 
ing Committee  would  be  received  at  Albany  in  sections.  The 
first  section,  he  announced,  already  has  been  received  from 
Chief  Counsel  Untermyer,  who  is  in  Florida,  while  four  other 
sections,  which  are  to  complete  the  report,  are  on  the  way 
from    Palm   Beach. 

"This  report,"  the  Senator  said,  "will  show  in  more  detail 
than  has  been  shown  to  date,  accomplishments  by  the  com- 
mittee fully  to  justify  its  existence  and  the  money  that  has 
been  spent  to  keep  it  going.  The  report  will  also  show  in 
some  detail  the  reasons  that  impel  us  to  ask  that  the  life  of 
the  committee  be  extended.  We  believe  that  our  arguments 
made  in  that  connection  are  unanswerable." 

There  is  a  strong  division  in  the  Legislature  as  to  the  wis- 
dom of  granting  further  time  to  the  Lockwood  Committee  or 
to  any  other  of  the  committees  which  have  been  investigating 
various  subjects.  Speaker  Machold,  when  asked  about  Sena- 
tor Lockwood's  resolution,  replied: 


that  followed  the  enactment  of  the  rent  laws.  Threatened 
with  loss  of  home  because  of  demands  for  unjust  increases 
m  rents  they  were  unable  to  pay,  and,  knowing  that  no  va- 
cancies could  be  found  anywhere,  one  can  imagine  their  state 
of  mind  and  the  relief  that  came  from  assistance  that  they 
could   not   be   dispossessed   under   the  new   laws." 

During  the  past  year  nine  legislative  committees,  including 
the  Lockwood  Committee,  incurred  expenses  of  approximate- 
ly $750,000. 

The  belief  prevails  here  that  the  Lockwood  committee  bill 
to  give  life  insurance  companies  the  right  to  invest  up  to  10 
per  cent,  of  their  assets  in  real  estate  is  practically  dead. 
The  measures  introduced  in  the  Senate  and  Assembly  were 
referred  to  the  insurance  committees,  of  which  the  chairmen 
are  Senator  James  E.  Towner,  of  Dutchess,  and  Assembly- 
man Eberly  Hutchinson,  of  the  Fulton-Hamilton  district. 
Neither  committee  has  received  a  letter  in  favor  of  the  meas- 
ure. No  request  for  a  hearing  has  been  presented.  Senator 
Towner  declared  today  that  he  did  not  believe  the  bill  should 
pass  until  it  is  proven  conclusively  that  the  building  program 


Whether   the   time    of   the   Lockwood   committee    is   to   be       proposed    by    Samuel    Untermyer,    counsel    for    the    housing 


extended  and  whether  we  are  to  give  that  body  more  money 
to  spend  is  a  question  I  would  not  care  to  answer,  one  way 
or  the  other,  right  now,"  he  replied.  "In  a  general  way  I 
believe  all  existing  legislative  committees  should  be  required 
to  make  their  final  reports  and  go  out  of  existence  with  the 
present  session.  But  the  question  ic  to  be  taken  up  at  a  con- 
ference which  will  be  held  within  the  next  few  days.  It  will 
be  determined  then,  and  not  before,  whether  there  is  merit  in 
the  demand  that  the  life  of  the  Lockwood  committee  be  ex- 
tended." 

When  the  Legislature  met  on  Monday  evening  it  had  been 


committee,  and  endorsed  by  all  members  of  that  body,  is 
financially  sound.  He  expressed  the  opinion  that  before  the 
measure  gets  through  some  direct  figures  will  have  to  be  sub- 
mitted showing  that  insurance  companies  can  realize  a  profit 
from  the  proposed  investment  in  real  estate  and  construction 
of  tenements.  Another  question  to  be  considered,  he  said, 
was  whether  it  would  be  right  to  have  ten  per  cent  of  the 
assets  of  a  company— money  collected  from  all  its  policy- 
holders— spent  in  a  housing  program  centered  in  New  York 
City. 
As    a    successor    to    their    State-wide    License    bill,    which    was 


expected  that  the  report  of  the  Lockwood  Committee  would      passed  by  the  Legislature  last^  year  but  vetoed  by  Governor  Miller, 


be  presented.  The  report  not  being  ready,  however.  Senator 
Lockwood  submitted  a  preliminary  report  in  which  the  com- 
mittee claimed  to  have  saved  $280,000,000  to  tenants  in  New 
York  City  by  curbing  profiteering  landlords.  This  estimate, 
it  was  explained,  had  been  worked  out  by  real  estate  statisti- 
cal experts  not  friendly  to  the  investigation. 

Senator  Lockwood's  preliminary  report  also  asserted  that, 
as  a  result  of  the  committee's  activities,  fines  aggregating 
SS02,5S0  had  been  turned  into  the  public  treasury,  that  on  one 
State  construction  job  $450,000  had  been  saved,  that  the  City 
of  New  York  saved  $13,000,000  through  the  committee's  work 


the  New  York  State  Association  of  Real  Estate  Boards  today 
had  introduced  a  measure  under  which  real  estate  brokers  and 
salesmen  would  be  licensed  if  doing  business  in  cities  or  in  the 
counties  of  Westchester  and   Nassau. 

Licenses  woukl  be  issued  by  the  State  Tax  Commission.  The 
fees  would  be  $25  in  cities  of  the  first  class,  $15  in  cities  of  the 
second  and  $10  in  cities  of  the  third  class.  It  is  estimated  that 
it  would  bring  in  approximately  $300,000  in  annual  revenue  to  be 
divided  between  the   State  and  localities. 

The  annual  appropriation  bill  was  offered  in  Senate  and  As-

Many  Amendments  to  Emergency  Rent  Laws  Proposed 

Real  Estate  Board  Sends  to  Lockwood  Committee  Suggestions  Intended  to  Simplify 
and  Eliminate  Worst  Features  of  Existing  Statutes 


THE  following  amendments  to  the  existing  landlord  and 
tenant  laws  have  been  recommended  by  the  Real 
Estate  Board  to  the  Joint  Legislative  Committee  on 
Housing,  with  brief  statements  giving  reasons  for  their  adop- 
tion.   The  changes  proposed  are  in  italics  : 

First : — Amend  Subdivision  1-a  o£  Section  1410  o£  the  Civil  Practice 
Act   as   follows  : 

(a)  A  proceedin.?  to  recover  such  possession  upon  the  ground  that 
the  person  (is)  holding  over  (and),  or  an  occupant  of  the  demised 
premises,  is  objectionable,  in  which  case  the  landlord  shall  establish 
to  the  satisfaction  of  the  court,  that  the  person  holding  over  or  such 
otx'upant  is  objectionable.  _« 

The  present  law  permits  the  recovery  of  property  if 
the  hold  over  tenant  is  objectionable.  As  there  have  been 
many  cases  where  hold-over  tenants  have  sublet  to 
objectionable  persons,  it  is  necessary  to  extend  the  ex- 
emption to  include  objectionable  sub-lessees  as  well.  Many 
tenants  have  profiteered  on  sub-tenants. 

(b)  Or  a  procerdinn  in  which  the  owner  of  record  of  the  huilding 
seeks  IN  GOOD  FAITS  to  recover  possession  of  the  demised  premises 
for  iwnirdinte  and  personal  occupancy  of  the  superintendent  or  janitor 
of  said  building  as  a  dwelling.  ' 

Subdivision    (b)    is   designed   to   remedy   a    defect    in   the 
rent   laws  which   has   compelled  property   owners   to   vio- 
late the  tenement  house  law  (Section  110)   providing  that 
'   a  janitor  or  superintendent  must  be  housed  on  the  prem- 
ises if  the   building  contains   eight   or   more   apartments. 

(c)  Or  a  proceeding  where  the  petitioner  shows  to  the  satisfaction  of 
the  court  that  he  desires  in  good  faith  to  recover  premises  for  the  pur- 
pose of  demolishing  the  same  with  the  intention  of  constructing  a  new 
building:  or  for  the  purpose  of  making  such  substantial  alterations  in 
a  buildiuQf  other  than  an  existing  tenement  house,  as  will  make  it 
suitable  for  two  or  more  families  to  dwell  therein  independently  of 
each  other,  plans  for  which  new  building  or  alterations  shall  have  been 
duly    filed   and   approved   by   the   proper   authority. 

Much  can  be  done  toward  relief  of  the  "housing  short- 
age" by  the  alteration  of  old  buildings  in  such  a  way  as 
to  make  them  accommodate  more  families.  When  such 
an  alteration  is  contemplated  there  is  as  much  reason  for 
exempting  the  building  from  the  operation  of  the  rent 
laws  as  for  the  exemption  of  an  entirely  new  building, 
as  is  done  by  the  existing  law. 

(d)  Or  a  proceeding  to  rerover  premises  constituting  a  part  of  a 
building  and  land  which  has  been  in  good  faith  sold  to  a  corporation 
formed  under  a  co-operative  ownership  plan  [whereof  the  entire  stock 
shall  be  held  by  the  stockholders  in  proportion  to  the  number  of  rooms 
occupied  or  to  be  occupied  by  them  in  such  building  and  all  apartments 
or  flats  therein  have  been  leased  to  stockholders  of  such  corporation 
for  their  own  personal,  exclusive  and  permanent  occupancy,  to  begin 
immediately  upon  the  termination  of  any  tenancy  of  the  apartments  or 
flats  leased  by  them,  existing  on  the  date  when  this  subdivision  takes 
effect]  under  which  plan  the  entire  stock  of  such  corjioration  shall  be 
held  by  the  stockholders  iti  proportion  to  the  value,  as  agreed  upon 
under  such  plan,  of  the  portimis  of  the  building  occupied  or  to  be 
occ^i/pied  by  them  respectively,  and  in  which  proceedings  it  shall  be 
established  that  the  particular  apartment  constituting  the  de^nised 
premises  has  been  leased  to  one  of  such  stockholders  uyho  seeks  in  good 
faith  to  recover  possession  of  such  demised  premises  for  iinmediate  and 
personal  occupancy  as  a  dwelling  by  himself  and  his  family. 

It  is  an  estabhshed  fact  that  a  man  who  owns  his  own 
home  is  a  better  citizen.  This  is  because  property  owner- 
ship encourages  economy  and  thrift. 

In  the  laws  previously  adopted,  the  co-operative  owner- 
ship plan  was  indorsed  with  the  limitation,  however,  that 
all  apartments  in  the  building  must  be  sold.  This  is  the 
so-called  one  hundred  per  cent.  plan.  Such  plan  must, 
of  necessity,  have  very  restricted  use,  for  it  is  usually 
impossible  to  "seU"  the  ground  floor,  or  otherwise  unattrac- 
tive   apartments. 

This  amendment  will  enable  them  to  obtain  possession 
of  those  few  apartments,  but  it  will  be  iinpossible  for 
the  purchaser  of  an  apartment  to  secure  possession  for 
any  other  purpose  than  the  personal  occupancy  of  himself 
and  his  fainily.  Tenants  occupying  unsold  apartments 
in  the  building  will  be  protected  from  ejectment,  and 
from  increase  in  rent,  by  regular  operation  of  the  Rent 
Laws.  The  sale  of  a  cooperative  apartment  under  the 
conditions  in  subdivision  (d)  does  not  reduce  housing 
accommodations.      Such    sale    means    that    the    buver    be- 


come a  prominent  resident  of  the  community.  Adoption 
of  sub-division  (d)  of  this  act  will  be  beneficial  to  the 
community,  socially  and  economically. 

(e)  Or  a  proceeding  in  which  it  is  established  that  the  tenant  Iwlds 
over  after  the  expiration  of  a  xoritten  lease  containing  a  "cancellation 
clause''  coupled  icith  a  provision  for  the  payment  of  a  bonus  to  the 
lessee  upon  the  exercise  of  a  privilege  to  terininate  the  lease. 

This  proposed  amendment  exempts  from  the  operation 
of  the  law  the  case  where  a  tenant  has  occupied  a  tem- 
porary lease  at  a  reduced  rent,  with  provision  of  a  pay- 
ment of  a  bonus   in  the  event   of  cancellation. 

(f)  Or  a  proceeding  in  which  it  is  established  that  the  tenant  holds 
over  after  at  written  lease  was  made  previous  to  Aiiril  6,  1910. 

Where   the   tenant  has   had  the  benefit   of  a   long-terin 

le.ase   at   the   low  rental   prevalent   in   pre-war   times,   and 

has  been  carried  at  such  rental  in  spite  of  the  advancing 

costs    and    heavily    increased   expenses    of    his    landlord,    it 

seems  only  fair  that  such  tenant  either  pay  the  increased 

rent  sought  by  his  landlord  or  give  up  possession  to  some 

one  who  will  do  so. 

(g)  Or  a  proceeding  in  which  it  is  established  that  the  tenant  holds 
over  after  a  w^'itten  lease  xchich  was  made  previous  to  April  1,  lurj. 

Since  under  the  provisions  of  the  law  a  tenant  may 
remain  in  possession  as  a  hold-over,  without  the  for- 
mality of  a  new  lease — if  not  withstanding  that  privilege 
he  does  actually  enter  into  a  new  lease,  he  should  not  be 
permitted  to  repudiate  it. 

(h)  Or  a  proceeding  in  which  it  is  established  that  at  least  four 
months  before  the  expiration  of  the  term,  the  landlord,  or  his  authorized 
agent,  served  upon  the  tenant,  written  notice,  by  mailing  the  same  by 
United  States  registered  mail,  addressed  to  the  tenant  at  the  detnised 
premises,  offerini  to  renew  the  lease  for  one  year,  at  the  same  rate  of 
rent  as  that  payable  by  the  tenant  at  the  date  of  such  notice,  but  it  shall 
be  a  defense  to  such  proceeding  in  such  case  that  tlie  tenant  served  in 
like  manner  upon  the  landlord  or  the  said  authorized  agent  of  the  land- 
lord, written  acceptance  of  such  ofier  withi7i  thirty  days  after  the  ser- 
vice of  the  offer  on  behalf  of  the  landlord. 

As  the  Rent  Laws  operate  at  present  it  is  possible  for 
tenants  to  withhold  all  information  from  their  landlords 
as  to  whether  or  not  they  intend  to  remain  in  possession. 
In  consequence,  a  landlord  cannot  negotiate  with  another 
applicant  for  an  apartment  until  the  apartment  is  actually 
vacated.  In  all  fairness,  the  landlord  is  entitled  to  infor- 
mation three  months  previous  to  the  termination  of  a 
lease  as  to  whether  or  not  a  tenant  will  hold  over. 

(i)  Or  a  proceeding  in  which  the  demised  premises  consist  of  a  room 
or  rooms  in  a  hotel  of  one  hundred  and  twenty-five  rooms  or  more, 
whether  used  for  transients  or  under  lease,  or  in  a  lodging  house  oc- 
cupied  under   a   tenancy    of   a   week   or    less. 

The    purpose    of    this    amendment    is    to    exempt    apart- 
ment hotels   from  the  operation  of  the   law. 
Second : — Amend    Section    10   of    Chapter   136   of   the    Laws    of    1920   as 
amended  by  Chapter  044  of  the  Laws  of  1920,  to  read  as  follows  : 

This  act  shall  not  apply  to  a  room  or  rooms  in  a  hotel  of  one  hundred 
and  twenty-five  rooms  or  more,  v:hether  used  for  transients  or  under 
lease,  or  in  a  lodging  house  occupied  under  a  tenancy  of  a  week  or  less. 

The   purpose   of   this   amendment   is   to   place   apartment 

hotels  upon  the  same  basis  as  hotels  for  transient  guests. 

Amend  Section  12  of  the  same  act,  to  read  as  follows  : 
This  act  as  hereby  amended  shall  not  apply  to  buildings  in  the 
course  of  construction  [at  the  time  this  amendment  takes  effect]  on  the 
first  day  of  April,  nineteen  hundred  and  twenty  or  commenced  there- 
after, nor  to  nyritten  leases  made  stibsequcnt  to  the  date  upon  tehich 
this  amendment  shall  take  effect,  and  shall  be  in  force  until  November 
first,    nineteen    hundred    and    twenty-two. 

.■\s  has  already  been  pointed  out  in  the  argument  for 
the  preceding  act  on  summary  proceedings,  buildings 
under  construction  on  April  1,  1920,  or  commenced  there- 
after were  erected  when  the  prices  of  building  material 
and  labor  were  the  highest  and  therefore  such  buildings 
should  not  be  restricted  by  the  operation  of  the  rent  laws. 
The  second  part  of  the  proposed  ainendment  would  re- 
store the  power  to  tenant  and  owner  to  make  a  binding  con- 
tract, which  was  taken  away  by  Chapter  136  of  the  Laws  of 
1920  as  amended  by  Chapter  944  of  the  Laws  of  1920. 
Third:— Amend  Section  232  of  the  Real  Property  Law  as  amended  by 
Chanter  1.10  of  the  Laws  of  1920,  to  read  as  follows: — 

Duration   of    certain   agreements   in   New   York      An    agreement   for  the

Up-to-Date   Developments  of  Land  for  Industrial  Use 

Martin  Dodge,  of  Merchants'  Association,  Points  Out  Principal  Factors  in  Successful 
Conduct  of  Business  in  Community  Where  Property  is  Located 


MARTIN  DODGE,  manager  of  the  Industries  Bureau  of 
the  Merchants'  Association  of  New  York,  deUvered 
the  lecture  last  Tuesday  night  in  the  course  on  real  es- 
tate subjects  being  held  at  the  West  Side  Branch  of  the  Y. 
M.  C.  A.  on  West  S7th  street.  Mr.  Dodge's  subject  was  "The 
Development  of  Property  for  Industrial  Use."  Defining 
"property"  as  land  and  "industrial  use"  as  for  the  purpose  of 
manufacturing  the  speaker  said  the  title  of  the  lecture  might 
read:  "The  Development  of  Land  for  the  Purpose  of  Manu- 
facturing." 

Mr.  Dodge  first  described  the  English  city  of  Letchworth, 
35  miles  from  London,  as  typical  of  ideal  conditions.  Here, 
with  a  population  of  25,000  in  an  area  of  45,000  acres  the  re- 
tail trade  is  located  in  the  centre,  within  a  ring  of  parks 
separating  it  from  the  residential  quarter  which  is  again 
separated  by  a  ring  of  parks  from  the  manufacturing  district, 
outside  of  which  are  farms.  No  factory  worker  need  live 
more  than  ten  minutes  from  his  factory  and  no  farmer  more 
than  ten  or  fifteen  minutes  from  his  farm.  Yet  his  residence 
is  separated  from  his  place  of  work  by  forests  and  parks  and 
his  home  is  located  with  other  homes  in  such  a  way  as  to 
give  him  a  maximum  of  community  and  social  benefits. 

Only  38  American  cities,  Mr.  Dodge  said,  have  adopted 
zoning  regulations,  but  42  others  are  considering  doing  so, 
and  it  is  therefore  of  the  greatest  importance  to  anyone 
considering  the  development  of  a  piece  of  property  for  in- 
dustrial use  to  determine  what  the  existing  regulations  are 
concerning  its  use  or  what  regulations  are  apt  to  be  applied  to 
that  property. 

Only  recently,  the  lecturer  continued,  have  manufacturers  located 
their  factories  on  the  basis  of  a  careful  scientfic  investigation  concerning 
the  relative  advantages  and  disadvantages  of  the  site  chosen.  All  too 
frequently  the  decision  has  rested  upon  unimportant  issues.  A  particularly 
cheap  piece  of  land  has  been  discovered  or  the  plot  may  be  located  con- 
veniently to  the  manufacturer's  residence.  An  illustration  In  point  is  the 
case  of  a  manufacturer  who  located  a  factory  near  Clifton,  Staten  Island, 
some  fifty  years  ago.  He  found  a  high  hill  which  was  picturesque  and 
attractive.  First  he  built  his  residence  there,  then  a  few  hundred  yards 
distant  he  built  a  factory.  For  fifty  years  he  has  received  raw  materials 
at  the  railroad  station  at  the  foot  of  the  hill  and  trucked  these  to  the 
top  of  the  hill.  He  has  trucked  all  of  his  coal  from  the  same  station  to  the 
top  of  the  hill.  His  industry  required  only  the  processing  of  the  material 
and  practically  no  change  in  its  bulk.  When  the  process  was  finished 
ho  trucked  it  back  down  the  hill  to  the  same  railroad  station  and  took 
it  away.  It  has  taken  the  manufacturer  fifty  years  to  discover  that 
although  the  top  of  the  hill  was  suitable  for  residential  purposes,  the 
bottom  of  the  hill  near  the  railroad  station  was  the  suitable  place  for  his 
manufacturing  plant.     He  has  now  located  his  factory  there. 

A  positive  factor  which  unfortunately  has  been  responsible  for  a  con- 
siderable part  of  the  unsound  industrial  development  which  characterizes 
many  of  our  communities  has  been  the  practice  of  chambers  of  commerce, 
followed  until  comparatively  recent  years,  of  engaging  in  wholesale  cam- 
paigning methods  and  factory  grabbing  methods  for  the  purpose  ol:  estab- 
lishing new  industries  in  their  localities.  Cash  bonuses  have  been  paid, 
tax  exemption  has  been  secured,  the  stock  of  the  prospective  manufacturer 
has  been  endorsed  by  the  chamber  of  commerce  or  even  sold  through 
a  special  committee  appointed  for  this  purpose.  The  commercial  organiza- 
tion has  intervened  to  secure  favorable  terms  on  mortgages ;  and  In 
various  other  ways  has  offered  an  artificial  stimulus  in  order  to  secure 
additional   factories. 

This  experience  has  proved  disastrous  in  a  large  measure.  The  rate 
of  mortality  among  factories  establi.shed  in  communities  as  a  result  of 
such  methods  has  been  very  high  and  instead  of  adding  to  their  pros- 
perity has  left  them  with  bankrupt  industries. 

This  experience  lias  led  to  a  radical  change  in  the  policies  of  chambers 
of  commerce.  They  are  now  making  an  effort  to  analyze  their  com- 
munities more  carefully  on  the  basis  of  their  real  economic  advantages 
and  drawbacks.  They  are  appealing  only  to  industries  which  it  properly 
managed  will  have  a  good  chance  for  success.  They  are  increasing  the 
attractiveness  of  their  communities  by  supplying  more  parks,  better 
streets  and  boulevards,  and  improved  transportation  facilities.  They  are 
attempting  to  decrease  the  death  rate.  They  hope  by  these  methods  to 
make  their  communities  so  desirable  for  industrial  purposes  that  indus- 
tries will   naturally  be  attracted. 

Given  a  piece  of  property  suitable  for  industrial  develop- 
ment, declared  Mr.  Dodge,  it  is  important  to  analyze  this 
property  to  determine  the  type  of  industrial  development  for 
which  it  is  best  suited.  In  the  first  place,  is  it  suited  for 
heavy  or  light  manufacturing?  If  the  site  is  extensive,  if 
it  is  not  too  close  to  a  residential  community,  if  freight  trans- 
portation facilities  are  ample,  then  perhaps  it  is  well  suited 
for  heavy  manufactiiring  purposes.  If  on  the  other  hand  the 
site  is  comparatively  small,  if  it  is  not  located  near  a  resi- 
dential community,  and  if  tall  loft  luiildings  may  be  erected 
without    excessive    cost   for   the    foundation,   then    perhaps    thf 


site    is    well    suited    for    light    manufacturing    purposes.      The 
speaker    continued: 

A  distinctive  type  of  development  is  that  known  as  the  district  or 
terminal  development.  This  is  perhaps  best  typified  by  the  Bush  Terminal, 
Brooklyn.  Other  terminal  developments  on  New  York  Harbor  are  those 
of  the  New  York  Dock  Company,  the  Degnon  Terminal.  Long  Island  City, 
the  Brooklyn  Eastern  District  Terminal  on  East  River  in  the  Williamsburg 
section  of  Brooklyn  and  the  Hoboken  Terminal.  Chicago  has  eight  or 
nine  large  terminal  developments  and  probably  manufactures  a  larger 
proportion  of  its  products  in  such  districts  than  any  other  large  city  in  the 
country.  The  Central  Manufacturing  District  is  Chicago's  largest  develop- 
ment of  this  kind. 

This  type  of  development  is  usually  undertaken  by  a  central  corpora- 
tion which  purchases  a  large  tract  of  land,  preferably  on  the  waterfront 
and  with  rail  transportation  facilities.  Loft  buildings  and  warehouses 
are  erected  and  railroad  sidings  are  constructed  to  connect  these  with 
the  main  lines  and  with  the  piers.  The  matter  of  the  transfer  of  the 
freight,  even  to  cartage  and  movement  on  elevators,  is  frequently  taken 
charge  of  by  the  central  corporation,  which  leases  the  buildings  in  whole 
or  in   part  to  manufacturers. 

There  are  many  advantages  to  this  kind  of  development.  Although 
rents  are  somewhat  higher  than  in  the  ordinary  locality,  the  facilities 
are  usually  better.  A  particular  effort  is  always  made  to  supply  adequate 
transportation  facilities,  power,  water  and  other  necessities  for  manufac- 
turing. The  manufacturing  buildings  are  usually  constructed  along  the 
most  modern  lines  providing  for  adequate  light,  ventilation  and  con- 
venience.    Insurance  rates  in  such  districts  are  usually  low. 

Mr.  Dodge  described  the  type  of  homogenous  develop- 
ments typified  by  such  manufacturing  towns  as  East  Liver- 
pool, Ohio,  a  pottery  centre;  Akron,  Ohio,  famous  for  rubber 
products   and  Troy,   N.  Y.,   the  home  of  collars  and   cufi^s. 

The  single  unit  development,  the  lecturer  declared,  is  illustrated  in  the 
effort  now  pending  with  respect  to  six  hundred  acres  fronting  on  New 
York  Harbor,  which  is  in  the  hands  of  an  agent  who  believes  that  this 
property  will  yield  the  best  return  for  all  concerned  if  used  as  the  location 
of  the  iron  and  steel  industry.  Having  come  to  this  conclusion  the  agent 
has  analyzed  the  industry  from  every  point  of  view.  He  has  determined 
the  cost  of  securing  coke  and  coal,  the  cost  of  shipping  not  only  Lake 
Superior  ores  but  Champlain  and  Cuban  ores ;  also  the  availability  of 
scrap  material  in  this  vicinity  which  might  be  used  in  the  process  of 
manufacturins:.  Further,  he  has  not  only  estimated  the  approximate 
market  for  the  products  of  the  plant  in  this  vicinity,  but  he  has  made 
an  extensive  survey  to  determine  whether  or  not  those  using  the  products 
here  would  prefer  to  patronize  a  local  plant  rather  than  plants  in  Pitts- 
burgh.   Bethlehem   and   other  steel   producing   center.s. 

Obviously  the  most  important  factor  affecting  the  development  of  a 
particular  piece  of  property  for  industrial  use  is  the  location  of  that 
property  :  but  going  back  of  the  question  of  location  I  contend  that  the 
factors  which  will  lead  to  the  most  satisfactory  development  of  a  given 
piece  of  property  for  industrial  use  are  the  same  factors  which  make 
for  the  successful  conduct  of  a  manufacturing  enterprise  located  on  that 
property.  If  a  manufacturer  chooses  a  certain  location  and  is  successful, 
the  fame  of  that  success  soon  spreads  abroad.  It  is  inseparably  connected 
with  the  location  of  the  plant.  Success  begets  success,  and  other  indus- 
tries are  attracted  to  the  same  vicinity.  Land  values  are  enhanced.  On 
the  other  hand,  it  he  fails  that  failure  is  also  inseparably  connected 
with  his  location  or  the  particular  site  and  that  location  sutfers  in  repu- 
tation, especially  in  so  far  as  the  particular  industry  is  concerned. 

Now  the  principal  factors  which  make  for  the  successful  or  unsuc- 
cessful conduct  of  a  manufacturing  enterprise  are  as  follows:  Proximity 
of  raw  materials,  proximity  of  markets,  shipping  transportation  facilities, 
freight  rates,  labor  supply,  rapid  transit  facilities,  cost  of  capital,  cost  of 
management,  actual  extent  of  site,  price  of  site,  power  supply,  water 
supply,   taxes,    insurance,    police  and   lire   protection. 

These  factors  are  not  given  in  the  order  of  their  importance,  as  this 
varies  very  greatly  with  different  industries.  But  generally  speaking,  I 
should  say  that  the  first  half  dozen  were  the  more  important. 

Usually  a  decision  must  be  made  between  proximity  to  raw  materials 
and  to  markets.  If  the  industry  is  one  in  which  a  large  part  of  the 
raw  materials  is  waste,  then  it  is  uneconomical  to  ship  this  raw  material 
a  considerable  distance  only  to  discard  sixty  or  seventy  per  cent,  of  it 
after  the  process  of  manufacture  is  completed.  If,  on  the  other  hand,  the 
product  is  fragile  or  perishable  and  likely  to  be  damaged  by  long  ship- 
ment it  is  necessary  that  the  plant  be  located  near  the  points  of  con- 
sumption. These  matters  must  be  considered  entirely  in  relationship  to 
particular  industries  and  cannot  be  settled  abstractly.  It  always  should 
be  remembered  that  nearness  to  markets  or  raw  materials  is  not  merely  a 
matter  of  miles  but  of  costs,  which  means  that  transportation  facilities 
and   freight   rates   are   important   factors   to   be   considered. 

A  labor  supply,  of  course,  is  necessary  to  any  industry.  In  this  con- 
nection not  only  the  supply  of  labor  should  be  determined  but  the  char- 
acter of  labor  which  may  be  depended  upon.  Of  course,  the  matter  of 
labor  supply  cannot  be  considered  apart  from  the  question  of  rapid 
transit  facilities. 

The  importance  of  water  supply  varies  very  greatly  with  the  different 
industries.  Concerning  power,  it  must  be  determined  whether  power  can 
he  purchased  more  advantageously  from  a  central  power  company  than 
it  can   be  generated  in  the  plant  itself. 

Taxes  are  now  not  so  important  a  factor  in  industry  as  they  formerly 
were.  ,Ts  tlie  t:\x  rate  in  the  lar^e  iinlustrial  communities  has  tended  to 
equalize.  Taxes,  moreover,  do  not  bulk  large  in  proportion  to  many  other 
factors  entering  into  production. 

Insurance  rates  vary  more  witli  the  particular  line  of  industry,  the 
character  of  the  construction  of  the  building,  the  materials  to  be  con- 
sumed and  the  carefulness  of  the  management  than  they  do  with  the 
general   locality  in  which  the  factory  is  located. 

In  conclusion,  said  Mr.  Dodge,  the  only  policy  which  can 
be  consistently  advocated  and  followed  in  the  development 
of  property  for  industrial  use  is  a  policy  based  on  the  sound 
industrial  development  of  the  community  in  which  the  prop- 
erty is  located;  for  this  means  increased  prosperity  for 
that  community  and  increased  prosperity  means  not  only  good 
business   but   more   business   for   all    concerned.

February  18,  1922 


Renew  Fight  for  Fifth  Avenue  Apartments  Above  60th  St. 


Owners  Petition  Supreme  Court  for  Mandamus  Order  to  Compel  Superintendent 
Brady  to  Issue  Permit  for  13-Story  Building  Opposite  Central  Park 


A 


TEST  case  to  determine  the  height  to  which  buildings 
may  be  erected  on  the  east  side  of  Fifth  Avenue, 
between  Sixtieth  and  Ninety-sixth  Streets,  has  been 
brought  before  Supreme  Court  Justice  Bijur  on  the  applica- 
tion of  Mary  Brewster  Jennings  for  a  peremptory  mandamus 
order  to  compel  Charles  Brady,  Superintendent  of  Buildings, 
to  grant  a  permit  for  the  erection  of  a  thirteen-story  apart- 
ment house  at  the  southeast  corner  of  Fifth  Avenue  and 
Ninety-Sixth   Street. 

This  action  is  the  direct  result  of  the  association  of  a  num- 
ber of  owners  of  Fifth  Avenue  property  in  the  section  men- 
tioned to  oppose  the  efforts  of  the  Fifth  Avenue  Association, 
the  City  Club  and  other  interests  to  have  the  height  of  build- 
ing along  this  section  of  the  avenue  limited  to  three-quarters 
of  its  width,  or  75  feet.  The  Board  of  Estimate  on  Nov.  25 
last  passed  a  resolution,  by  a  vote  of  13  to  3,  amending  the 
Zoning  Law  so  that  this  became  the  limit  to  which  buildings 
could  be  constructed.  Exception  to  the  legality  of  the  action 
by  the  Board  of  Estimate  was  immediately  taken  by  proper- 
ty-owners interested  in  preserving  their  rights  under  the 
Zoning  Law  as  originally  enacted  which  allowed  structures 
of  150  feet  height,  equal  to  one-and-one-half  the  width  of  the 
avenue  at  this  point,  which  is  one  hundred  feet.  The  basis 
for  exception  to  the  decision  of  the  Board  of  Estimate  was 
that  when  more  than  20  percent  of  the  owners  of  property 
protested  against  a  change  in  the  Zoning  Law  unanimous 
action  on  the  part  of  the  Board  of  Estimate  was  necessary  to 
make  the  change.  The  protestants  claimed  that  more  than 
20  percent  of  the  property-owners  had  objected  and  there- 
fore the  vote  by  which  the  change  was  made  was  invalid. 

On  Jan.  20  last  the  Corporation  Counsel  advised  the  Board 
of  Estimate  that  including  the  Central  Park  frontage  as  well 
as  that  on  the  East  Side  of  Fifth  Avenue  less  than  20  per 
cent  of  owners  had  objected  to  the  change  in  the  Zoning  Law 
as  therefore  this  amendment  limiting  the  height  of  buildings 
to  75  feet  was  legally  adopted. 

The  appHcation  for  a  mandamus  order  on  Superintendent 
Brady  is  made  by  Robert  B.  Knowles,  of  Taylor,  Knowles  & 
Hack,  for  Mary  Brewster  Jennings,  owner  of  the  southeast 
corner  of  Ninety-sixth  Street  and  Fifth  Avenue.  Mr.  Knowles, 
it   is    understood,  selected   this    as    a   test   case   in   the   fight   a 


number  of  owners,  including  Vincent  Astor,  Jacob  Ruppert 
Realty  Co..  J.  E.  R.  Carpenter  and  the  Van  Ingen  Estate,  are 
making  to  prevent  the  city  authorities  from  limiting  the  de- 
velopment of  their  property  on  lines  efifective  under  the  original 
terms  of  the  Zoning  Law. 

Mr.  Knowles  has  developed  three  arguments  upon  which 
his  application  for  a  mandamus  order  is  based.  These  are 
that  the  plans  for  the  apartment  house  to  be  erected  on  the 
Jennings  plot  were  filed  on  Nov.  23,  1921,  with  the  Tenement 
House  Department  and  the  Bureau  of  Buildings,  prior  to 
action  by  the  Board  of  Estimate  on  Nov.  25,  1921,  and  that 
under  this  law  nothing  in  the  Zoning  Law  "Shall  require  any 
change  in  the  plans,  construction  or  designated  use  of  a  build- 
ing for  which  a  building  permit  has  been  heretofore  issued 
or  plans  for  which  are  on  file  with  the  Building  Superinten- 
dent or  with  the  Tenement  House  Department  at  the  time 
cf  the  passage  of  this  resolution."  The  second  contention  is 
that  the  Central  Park  frontage  should  not  be  included  and 
that  if  it  is  not  more  than  20  per  cent  of  the  owners  of  front- 
age objected  to  the  change  in  the  Zoning  Law  and  a  unan- 
imous vote  was  necessary  to  award  the  law.  The  third  con- 
tention is  based  on  the  following  provision  of  the  Zoning 
Law  defining  words  used  in  the  resolution: 

"The  'width  of  the  street'  is  the  mean  of  the  distances  be- 
tween the  sides  thereof  within  a  block.  Where  a  street  bor- 
ders a  public  place,  public  park  or  navigable  body  of  water 
the  width  of  the  street  is  the  mean  width  of  such  street  plus 
the  width,  measured  at  right  angles  to  the  street  line,  of  each 
public  place,  public  park  or  body  of  water."  The  width  of 
Central  Park  at  Ninety-sixth  Street,  measured  at  right  angles 
to  Fifth  Avenue,  is  approximately  2600  feet.  If  the  "width  of 
the  street"  is  based  on  the  width  of  Fifth  Avenue  at  Ninety- 
sixth  Street,  which  is  one  hundred  feet,  plus  the  width  of 
Central  Park,  which  is  2600  feet,  the  result  is  2700  feet.  Un- 
der the  original  Zoning  Law  the  height  of  a  building  on  Fifth 
Avenue  might  be  one-and-one-half  times  the  width  of  the 
street  including  Central  Park.  Under  the  amendment  passed 
last  November  by  the  Board  of  Estimate  limiting  the  height 
to  three  quarters  of  the  width  of  Fifth  Avenue  between  Six- 
tieth and  Ninety-sixth  Streets  the  width  of  Central  Park 
must   be   taken    into   consideration. 

Arguments  on  the  application  were  made  last  Wednesday 
and  the  court  took  the  question  under  advisement. 


Many  Amendments  to  Emergency  Rent  Laws  Proposed 


(Continued  from  page  200) 

occupation  of  real  estate  in  the  City  of  New  York,  which  shall  not 
particularly  specify  the  duration  of  the  occupation,  shall  be  deemed 
to  continue  until  the  first  day  of  October  next  after  the  possession  com- 
mences   under    the    agreement. 

An  occupant  of  premises  in  the  City  of  Neto  York  used  for  dxvellinn 
purposes,  who  oJitained  possession  thereof  under  a  lease  or  rental 
agreement,  and  who  reniai}is  in  possession  after  the  expiration  of  the 
term,  created  by  said  lease  or  rental  agreement,  shall  be  deemed  to  have 
elected  to  coniixive  in  occupancy  of  the  premises  until  the  first  day  of 
Octoher  next  ensuing  after  the  commencement  of  the  holding  over,  under 
all  the  terms  and  conditions  of  the  expired  lease  or  rental  agreement 
except  the  amount  of  rent  reserved,  and  shall  be  liable  during  the 
term  hereby  created  for  a  monthly  rent  payable  on  the  fj^rst  day  of 
each  xnonth  in  advance  at  the  rate  agreed  upon  between  said  hold-over 
and  the  landlord,  or  as  determined  in  judicial  ■proceedings,  unless  ex- 
pressly  released   in   writing   by    the   landloi'd. 

As  the  operation  of  the  Rent  Laws  has  done  away 
with  binding  contracts,  it  is  now  possible  for  tenants  to 
occupy  apartments  part  of  the  rental  period  and  then 
vacate  without  notice  to  the  landlord.  This  condition,  if 
unremedied,  would  result  in  heavy  financial  loss  to  own- 
ers of  property,  particularly  if  the  apartments  were  left 
vacant  during  the  summer  months,  when  apartments  are 
not  in  demand. 

Fourth  : — Repeal  the  concluding  sentence  of  Section  6  of  Chapter  ISii 
of  Laws  of  1920,  as  amended  by  Chapter  434,  Laws  of  1921,  which 
provides. 


"The  plaintiff  shall  be  entitled  to  costs  only  in  the  event  that  he 
recover   the   full    amount   demanded   in    the   complaint." 

Were  the  law  restored  to  its  traditional   state  in  which 

costs  went  as  a  matter  of  course  to  the  prevailing  party, 

much   would   be    done    to    remove    the   chief   cause    of   the 

congestion  in  the   Municipal  Courts. 

Fifth  : — Enactment  of  tho  hill  auth^ri'.ina:  the  Annellate  Division  of 
the  Supreme  Court,  1st  Dept.,  to  designate  15  referees  to  hear  and 
determine  cases  in  the  Municipal  Courts  of  that  Department  in  order 
to  relieve  the  congestion  in  such  courts :  the  Appellate  Division,  2d 
Dept.  to  appoint  10  referees  to  assist  in  the  Municipal  Courts  of  that 
Department   to   the    same   end. 

Such   a  measure   was  proposed   by  the  Joint   Legislative 

Housing  Committee   during  the   Session   of   1921,   and   was 

passed  by  both  houses  of  the  Legislature,  but  was  vetoed 

by   Mayor   Hylan. 

Sixth  ; — Enactment  of  a  bill  to  amend  Section  2  of  the  Tenement 
House  Law  by  providing  that  the  definition  of  "tenement  house"  shall 
be  read  to  relate  to  houses  accommodating  four  families,  instead  of 
three    families  or   more   as   now   provided. 

The  purpose  of  this  measure  is  to  encourage  the  re- 
modelling of  existing  one  family  houses  into  dwellings 
for  three  families  and  also  to  promote  the  construction 
of  three  family  houses  in  the  comparatively  undeveloped 
sections   of   the   Bronx,  Queens    and   Richmond.

February  18,  1922  RECORD    AND    GUIDE 

Review  of  Real  Estate  Market  for  the   Current  Week 

Some  Large  Leases  and  Sales  Gave  Distinctiveness  to  a  Market  Well  Dotted  with 

Substantial  Transactions  of  All  Kinds 


PROBABLY  the  most  interesting  phase  of  the  real  estate 
market  this  week  was  the  closing  of  large  leases  in 
important  trade  and  traffic  centers.  Of  striking 
interest  was  the  leasing  of  a  store  in  the  Broadway  front  of 
the  Loew  Theatre  building,  at  Times  Square,  at  the  rate  of 
$1,300  a  front  foot  per  annum,  whereas  the  same  tenant,  less 
than  three  years  ago,  paid  for  the  old  store,  on  the  same  site, 
an  annual  rental  of  $200  a  front  foot.  This  rental,  along  with 
other  new  store  rentals  on  Times  Square  during  the  latter 
part  of  last  year,  emphasizes  the  premier  status  of  trade  in 
this  upper  Broadway  district.  The  rental  in  discussion  is 
on  the  East  or  Seventh  avenue  side  of  Times  Square,  near 
4Sth  street.  It  is  timely  to  note  that  a  Seventh  avenue  corner, 
three  block  north  of  4Sth  street,  was  leased  to  a  well  known 
operator,  this  week,  as  the  site  for  a  new  office  and  store 
building,  while  during  the  week  before  a  corner  at  Seventh 
avenue  and  49th  street  was  leased  to  the  same  operator  for 
a  similar  improvement.  It  looks  as  if  the  Times  Square 
zone  would  be  a  storm  center  of  real  estate  activity  for  a 
long  time  to  come. 

Other  leases  of  more  than  passing  interest  were  the  leasing 
of  three  floors,  on  the  plans,  of  the  Pershing  Square  build- 
ing, to  be  built  on  the  site  of  the  old  Grand  Union  Hotel,  at 
the  southeast  corner  of  Park  avenue  and  42d  street,  for  a  long 
term  of  years,  at  an  aggregate  rental  running  into  the  mil- 
lions ;  also  a  hotel  for  a  long  term  of  years  ;  and  the  leasing 


of  other  good  sized  properties  and  floor  areas  that  our  news 
columns   set  forth   in  detail. 

In  the  sales  market  a  transaction  of  more  than  ordinary 
moment  was  the  sale  by  the  Congregation  of  the  Church  of 
The  Blessed  Sacrament  of  its  edifice,  at  the  southeast  corner 
of  Broadway  and  71st  street,  to  a  prominent  firm  of  builders. 
The  site  fronts  112.S  feet  on  Broadway  and  2S4.7  on  the  street. 
Heavy  traffic  has  long  focused  in  this  section  and  it  is 
therefore  likely  that  a  modern  building  of  varied  business 
character  will  supplant  the  church  edifice.  Only  last  Decem- 
I'cr,  Christ  Church,  at  the  opposite,  or  northwest  corner, 
leased  a  portion  of  its  church  grotmds  at  that  point  to  build- 
ers, who  will  erect  thereon  a  7-story  business  building.  In 
V\est  69th  street,  a  block  and  one-half  distant,  the  Govern- 
ment recently  leased,  on  the  plans,  large  space  in  a  new 
building  for  post  office  space  to  supersede  the  postal  station 
now  at  the  northwest  corner  of  Broadway  and  69th  street. 

Several  superior  dwellings,  in  the  Fifth  avenue  section, 
changed  hands,  one  of  them  entirely  for  cash,  while  there 
were  several  other  cash  transactions  during  the  week  in  other 
parts  of  town.  A  notable  sale  was  that  of  the  9-story  St. 
Margaret  apartment  hotel,  in  West  47th  street,  to  the  lessee. 
This  is  a  marked  instance  of  tenant  buying.  The  entire  city 
gave  a  display  of  varied  dealing  that  shows  a  good  bottom 
to  the  general  market.  The  Bronx  and  Brooklyn  were  both 
active  in  diversified  dealing  as  well. 


PRIVATE  REALTY  SALES. 


THE  total  number  of  sales  reported,  but  not 
recorded,  in  Manhattan  this  -week  was  101, 
as  against  G4  last  week  and  70  a  year  ago. 

The  number  ot  sales  south  of  59th  st  was  31. 
as  compared  with  17  last  week  and  22  a  year 
ago. 

The  number  of  sales  north  of  59th  st  was  70 
as  compared  with  47  last  week  and  48  a  year 
ago. 

From  the  Bronx  33  sales  at  private  contract 
were  reported  as  against  29  last  week  and  38 
a  year  ago. 

Statistical  tables  including  the  number  of  re- 
corded  instruments   will   be   found  on   page  210.

a  lot  21.6x100.5,  for  the  Charmouth  Realty  Co.. 
to  a  prominent  client  for  occupancy.  The  prop- 
erty was  held  at  $1,S.^.0(X),  and  an  interesting  fea- 
ture of  the  transaction  is  the  fact  that  the  en- 
tire purchase  price  was  paid  in  cash.  The  dwell- 
ing is  new,  having  just  been  erected  by  the  F.  11. 
Wakehara  Co.  on  a  day's  work  basis.  The  build- 
ing is  of  white  limestone,  and  both  the  interior 
and  exterior  are  handsomely  finished.  Directly 
adjoining,  on  the  east,  is  the  large  residence  of 
Henry  T.  Sloane,  from  whom  tlie  site  of  this 
dwelling  was  purchased  through  Douglas  L.  El- 
liman &  Co.  last  spring.  Directly  opposite  are 
the  mansions  of  Alfred  Anson  and  Mrs.  George 
T.  Bliss.

ally in  the  rear  ot  the  new  Fifth  Avenue  Bap- 
fist  Church,  at  the  southeast  corner  of  Park  av 
and  64lh  st,  and  is  in  the  vicinity  of  the  new 
Third  Church  Scientist.  The  Farmers  Loan  and 
Trust  Co.  and  Moritz  Wormser  represented  the 
Seligman  estate,  and  William  B.  May  &  Co.

It  will  be  a  n-sty  structure  and  will  house  the 
religious  school,  social  service  and  child  adoption 
bureaus,  a  seminary  for  the  training  ot  young 
.lewish  college  and  university  students  for  the 
ministry  in  the  reformed  church  and  other 
branches  of  work  carried  on  by  the  congregation. 
The  congregation  has  subscribed  $175,000  toward 
the  $25(1,000  needed  to  erect  the  building.  The 
synagogue  will  continue  to  hold  services  at 
Carnegie  Hall.

Brown    Buys    Grand    Opera    House 

Famous  for  half  a  century  as  an  amusement 
centre,  the  Grand  Opera  House,  at  the  northwest 
corner  of  Eighth  av  and  2yd  st,  has  been  sold  by 
the  estate  of  Jay  Gould  to  Frederick  Brown, 
operator.  It  is  a  4-sty  white  stone  theatre,  of- 
fice and  store  building.  The  plot  is  L  shaped. 
It  fronts  113.G  feet  on  Eighth  av  and  115.10  feet 
on  West  23d  st,  with  an  interior  depth  of  1.59  2 
feet.  Included  in  the  sale  is  the  2-sty  brick 
building,  320-322  West  24th  st,  which  adjoins 
the  rear  of  the  Opera  House  and  connects  with 
It.  The  latter  is  a  Clement  C.  Moore  estate 
leasehold. 

The  house  has  a  seating  capacity  of  1,900, 
with  standing  room  for  1,500  more.  It  is  as- 
sessed by  the  city  at  $829,000. 

The  Opera  House  site  itself  was  originally  also 
a  Moore  leasehold,  being  leased  in  1843  from 
Bishop  Clement  C.  Moore,  author  of  the  "Night 
Before  Christmas."  Later  Samuel  Pike  bought 
out  the  lease  and  acquired  the  fee  in  1864.  For 
a  time  it  was  the  scene  of  the  greatest  opera 
liroductions  in  this  country.  Jim  Fisk  and  Jay 
Gould  bought  the  house  in  March,  1869,  but 
Gould's  name  was  withdrawn  from  the  enter- 
linse.  It  was  Fisk  who  gave  the  theatre  its 
spectacular  furnishings  and  grand  stairway.  At 
one  time  the  property  was  owned  by  the  Erie 
Railroad,  and  while  Fisk  was  president  of  the 
company  its  executive  offices  were  there.  In 
l.'^St   it   was  reopened  as  a  theatre.

tate by  I.  Randolph  Jacobs  and  Everett  Jacobs,

of  the  seller  for  more  than  50  years,  but  as  it 
was  restricted  to  improvement  with  private  resi- 
dences  it  was  practically  unsalable. 

The  restrictions  included  the  seven  residences

three  houses  a  release  of  this  restriction.

block  front  on  Park  av,  from  42d  to  41st  sts,  di- 
rectly opposite  the  Hotel  Belmont  and  the  Grand 
Central  Terminal.  The  lease  is  one  of  the  most 
important  negotiated  either  uptown  or  downtown. 
The  floors  are  being  specially  designed  for  the 
occupancy  of  the  tenant,  and  this  work  is  be- 
ing handled  by  York  &  Sawyer  and  John  Sloan, 
architects,  rep/"esenting  the  owners  of  the  build- 
ing, and  Starrett  &  Van  Vleck,  architects,  repre- 
senting the  tenant.  The  executive  oflBces  of  the 
leasing  company,  with  directors'  rooms,  etc.,  will 
occupy  a  special  open  office,  taking  in  two  floors, 
which  will  give  a  height  of  about  25  feet,  along 
the  42d  st  side  of  the  building. 

In  selecting  this  building,  Mr.  Holland,  presi- 
dent of  the  leasing  company,  stated:  "Our  com- 
pany has  selected  the  Pershing  Square  Building 
for  its  permanent  home  because  we  believe  that 
this  building,  with  direct  entrances  to  the 
Grand  Central  Terminal,  all  subways  and  the 
Queensborough  Tube,  gives  us  the  best  central 
location  in  the  Metropolitan  district.  Not  only 
will  our  new  offices  be  more  convenient  to  our 
many  agents  coming  from  out  of  town,  but,  re- 
garding accessibility  for  our  staff,  we  believe  the 
location  of  the  building  is  almost  ideal,  because 
by  subways,  tubes  and  rail  it  taps  New  Jersey, 
Brooklyn,  Queens  and  Westchester."  The  Persh- 
ing Square  Building  covers  a  plot  measuring  125 
feet  on  42d  st  and  200  feet  on  Park  av.  The 
cost  of  the   ground   and  building  will  be  nearly 


$10,000,000.  The  same  brokers  have  one  other 
important  negotiation  pending  for  a  similar 
amount  of  space  in  the  building,  and  it  is  stated 
that  several  other  important  leases  will  shortly 
be  announced. 

New  Branch  Post  Office 

Through  a  $750,000  transaction  closed  late  last 
week,  the  Government  is  to  have  a  new  sub- 
postal  station  on  the  plot  at  203-200  West  C'dth 
st,  west  of  Amsterdam  av.  This  station  will  re- 
place the  one  now  at  the  northwest  corner  of 
69th  st  and  Broadway,  which  is  inadequate  to 
handle  the  growing  business  of  the  district. 

The  plot,  measuring  78.8x100.5,  was  purchased 
by  Francis  B.  Robert  from  the  Campion  estate 
and  James  McLaughlin.  The  new  owner  has 
concluded  necessary  negotiations  with  the  Gov- 
ernment, through  which  it  will  be  leased  to  the 
Post  Office  Department  for  20  years  at  an  ag- 
gregate rental  of  $750,000.  Mr.  Robert  will  also 
erect  the  building,  which  is  to  be  completed  by 
October  1.  S.  D.  Cooper  and  John  Hill  were  the 
brokers. 


Bank  Leases  Bronx  Corner 

Rice  and  Hill  leased  for  Marcus  Loew  Realty 
Corporation  to  Herman  Bach,  jeweler,  the  store 
1538  Broadway,  in  the  Loew  Theatre  Building, 
for  a  long  term  of  years,  at  a  rental  of  about 
$1,300  per  annum  a  front  foot.  For  sixteen  years 
prior  to  the  demolition  of  the  old  buildings  form- 
erly occupying  the  site  of  the  present  Loew 
Building,  Mr.  Bach  was  at  this  identical  loca- 
tion, and  for  a  considerable  portion  of  that  time 
his  rental  was  less  than  $2o0  per  front  foot. 
When  the  construction  of  the  present  building 
was  commenced,  Mr.  Bach  moved  two  blocks 
north  on  Broadway,  where  he  has  been  located 
for  the  last  two  years.

the  Jerome  av  subway,  the  Colonial  Bank  has 
leased  from  a  client  of  Hall  J.  How  &  Co.  the

maintained  offices  in  the  Fifth  avenue  section,

was  in  his  5Tth  year.  In  addition  to  his  fine 
brokerage  business  in  this  town,  Mr.  Whitehouse 
was  long  a  specialist  in  the  sale  and  leasing  of 
fine  properties  in  Newport,  Lenox  and  other 
fashionable  resorts.  Prominent  in  society,  he  had 
an  entree  to  persons  of  large  wealth,  who  bought 
and  leased  the  character  of  properties  he  dealt

Hudson,  a  son  of  Edward  M.  and  Amelia  Worth- 
ington Whitehouse.  He  was  educated  in  England

ber of  years  his  partner  was  the  late  Clarence

the  firm  name  was  then  Whitehouse  &  Porter. 
Later  it  became  Worthington  Whitehouse,  Inc., 
and  Mr.  Whitehouse  was  at  the  head  of  it.  A 
half  brother,  Newton  R.  Whitehouse,  was  associ- 
ated with  him  in  business  in  recent  years.  Mr.

He  was  a  member  of  the  Knickerbocker, 
Racquet  and  Tennis,  Delti  Phi  and  Knoll  wood 
Country  clubs.  He  was  the  founder  of  the  Knoll- 
wood.  The  funeral  services  for  Mr.  Whitehouse 
took  place  at  Worthington  Farms  on  Thursday, 
Bishop  Manning  of  New  York  officiating.  The  in- 
terment was  in  the  family  burial  ground  on  the 
estate.

BUILDING     SECTION 


Contract  Awarded  for  $5, 000, 000  Addition  to  Macy's  Store 

Marc  Eidlitz  Sons,  Builders,  Will   Construct  Nineteen-Story  Annex  in  Herald 

Square,  from  Plans  by  Robert  D.  Kohn 


PERCY  S.  Straus,  Vice  President  of  R.  H.  Macy  &  Co  , 
has  announced  the  award  of  a  general  contract  to 
Marc  Eidlitz  Sons  for  the  construction  of  a  nine- 
teen-story department  store  annex  to  the  firm's  present  build- 
ing in  Herald  Square.  The  new  structure  will  occupy  front- 
ages in  Thirty-fourth  and  Thirty-fifth  Streets  and  will  ad- 
join the  present  store  building  on  the  west.  The  new  build- 
ing and  the  changes  required  in  the  original  structure  will 
cost  approximately  $5,000,000  and  will  give  this  store  a  total 
of  about  1.500,000  square  feet,  or  nearly  forty  acres  of  floor 
space. 

The  announcement  of  the  decision  to  begin  work  imme- 
diately upon  this  large  addition  to  Macy's  was  made  in  con- 
nection with  the  sixty-fourth  anniversary  of  the  establish- 
ment of  the  business.  Mr.  Straus,  in  discussing  this  project, 
declared  that  in  1902  his  father  estimated  that  the  then  new 
store  in  Thirty-fourth  Street  could  do  just  half  of  the  volume 
of  business  the  store  is  doing  at  present.  Improved  methods 
have  been  responsible  for  the  great  increase  in  trade  which 
can  be  handled  now  but  the  store  some  time  ago  reached  a 
point  where  radical  expansions  became  urgent.  Construc- 
tion on  the  new  annex  will  be  pushed  with  all  speed  con- 
sistent with  good  construction  and  it  is  anticipated  that  the 
addition  will  be  completed  and  ready  for  business  in  the 
autumn  of  1923. 

This  large  project  will  be  erected  according  to  plans  and 
specifications  prepared  by  Robert  D.  Kohn.  The  contract  for 
the  structural  steel  has  been  awarded  to  Levering  &  Garri- 
gues  and  calls  for  8,200  tons  of  fabricated  material.  This 
contract  is  said  to  be  the  largest  single  commitment  for 
structural  steel  in  this  city  since  the  Equitable  Building  was  ^ 
erected  nearly  ten  years  ago.  A  further  interesting  fact  in 
connection  with  the  award  of  this  contract  is  that  the  price 
if  said  by  the  architect  to  be  approximately  that  of  the  1914 
cjr  pre-war  level  for  fabricated  material,  which  indicates  the 
extent  to  which  some  of  tlie  important  basic  building  ma- 
terials have  receded  in  cost   since  their  high  peaks  of   1920. 

In  the  study  of  these  plans  the  architect  gave  careful  at- 
tention to  traffic  conditions  in  the  building  and  the  new 
structure  will  be  a  model  for  its  method  of  handling  both 
merchandise  and  customers.  The  addition,  with  frontages 
of  125  feet  in  each  street,  will  have  a  basement  and  sub- 
basement  in  which  great  elevators  will  transport  automobile 
delivery  trucks  to  the  subterranean  driveways,  where  one 
hundred  and  thirty  cars  may  be  handled  at  one  time.  Other 
large  elevators  and  hu.ge  conveyors  will  carry  incoming 
merchandise    to    the    reserve    stork    floors,     while     additional

prise  that  customers  rarely  if  ever  see.  Space  on  these  floors 
will  be  used  for  recreation,  with  locker  rooms,  rest  rooms,  etc., 
for    the    employes ;    marking,    receiving,    reserve    stocks,    etc. 


,  The  executive  offices  and  the  departments   devoted   to  adver- 

,:Ieva  ors   and   a   most   complete    system   of   escalators    will    be       tising,  accounting,  mail   order,  bureau  of   investigation,   train- 
installed    for    the    use    of    customers.      It    is    planned    that    the       ing,  planning  and   various   other   purposes   will   be   located   on 


major  portion  of  the  passenger  traffic  in  the  first  eight  floors 
of  the  new  building  will  be  handled  by  the  double  line  ol 
escalators  which  will  carry  passengers  up  and  down.  The 
itpper  floors  will  be  served  by  electric  traction  elevators, 
with  express  cars  for  the  topmost  floors.  The  eighth  floor 
will  be  the  highest  in  the  combined  building  to  which  cus- 
tomers will  go.  This  floor  will  be  devoted  to  use  as  a  restau- 
rant and  when  completed  will  be  the  largest  in  New  York 
City, 

The    floors    from    the   ninth    to   nineteenth    inclusive    will    be 
reserved  for   the   use   of  the   departments  of  this   great   enter- 


the  upper  floors,  and  a  large  space  will  be  set  apart  for  use 
as  a  hospital,  with  emergency  rooms,  all  completely  equipped 
for  instant  service. 

In  describing  the  proposed  addition  to  Macy's,  Mr.  Kohn, 
the  architect,  said  that  the  new  structure,  which  will  conform 
with  the  old  and  form  a  part  of  a  single  edifice,  will  have 
facades  of  limestone  and  architectural  terra  cotta  from  grade 
tc  fifth  floor  levels,  above  which  Harvard  brick  and  terra 
rotta  will  be  employed.  The  plans  call  for  setbacks  at  the 
levels  of  the  thirteenth  and  eighteenth  floors  in  compliance 
with  the  Zoning  Law.

and  crafts  represented  but  to  all  laymen  who  enjoy  the 
beautiful  and  who  take  pleasure  in  encouraging  the  artists 
and  craftsmen  responsible   for  its   creation. 

The  exhibition  opened  with  the  usual  League  reception  on 
Saturday  afternoon,  February  4,  at  which  more  than  2,000 
friends  of  the  organization  were  present  to  view  the  works 
of  the  past  year.  The  display  will  be  open  until  Saturday, 
March   4. 

The  Henry  O.  Avery  prize  for  1921  was  awarded  to  Miss 
Grace  H.  Talbot,  her  winning  exhibit  being  a  bronze  figurine 
called  "The  Novice."  The  special  collaborative  prize  of  $300 
for  the  best  design  submitted  by  an  architect,  sculptor  and 
mural  painter,  with  $500  added  to  cover  mounting  expenses, 
was  awarded  to  Francis  J.  Creamer,  George  Davidson  and  C. 
Paul  Jennewein. 

Architectural  League  medal  awards  for  1921  were  as  fol- 
lows :  Architecture,  Walker  &  Gillette ;  painting,  to  Ezra 
Winter,  for  his  decorations  in  the  new  Cunard  Building; 
sculpture,  to  Leo  Lentelli,  for  the  flagpole  to  be  erected  at 
the  Rice  Stadium;  and  in  landscape  architecture,  to  Olmstead 
Brothers,  for  photographs  of  work  in  Cleveland,  O.,  and 
Brookline,  Mass."  The  medal  in  native  industrial  art  was 
awarded  to  Samuel  Yellin,  who  exhibits  some  finely  wrought 
iron  and   steel  from  designs  by  Walker   &  Gillette. 

One  of  the  new  and  interesting  features  of  this  exhibition 
is  the  series  of  small  model  rooms  designed  by  mural  painters 
with  the  fundamental  idea  of  showing  that  mural  decorations 
need  not  be  restricted  to  public  and  monumental  buildings 
but  are  appropriate  in  homes  of  simple  construction  and  mod- 
erate cost  and  inexpensive  furnishings.  These  model  rooms 
are  of  more  than  passing  interest  and  cover  a  wide  range  of 
subjects. 

The  exhibition  galleries  are  marked  by  several  exhibits 
imposing   in    size   and   character.     In    the    Vanderbilt    Gallery 


Leo  Lentelli,  winner  of  the  League  Medal  for  sculpture,  has 
his  large  flagpole  base  for  the  Rice  Stadium  at  Pelham  Bay 
Park  and  his  much  more  distinguished  reliefs  for  the  Straus 
Building.  Flanking  the  flagpole  base  are  two  superb  decora- 
tive paintings  on  a  very  large  scale,  one  by  Ezra  Winter  for 
the  Cunard  Building,  the  other  by  Barry  Faulkner,  somewhat 
clearer  cut  in  design.  Both  make  a  strong  impression  at  long 
range. 

In  the  Centre  Gallery  on  the  left  is  the  elaborate  model  of 
the  Harkness  Memorial  group  of  which  James  Gamble  Rogers 
is  the  architect,  enclosed  in  a  cubicle  made  of  the  carved 
woodwork  of  the  interior.  On  the  right  is  a  cubicle  contain- 
ing the  plans  and  drawings  for  H.  Van  Buren  Magonigle's 
Liberty  Memorial  in  Kansas  City,  Mo.,  and  other  competi- 
tive designs,  the  central  open  space  occupied  by  Robert  Alt- 
ken's  moving  and  strongly  modeled  figure  for  the  Lambs' 
War  Memorial. 

The  art  of  building  as  distinguished  from  the  arts  tributary 
to  it,  is  represented,  as  it  was  last  year,  by  the  photographs 
hung  this  time  about  the  walls  of  the  lesser  galleries.  This 
illustrative  material  points  to  a  considerable  accomplishment. 
In  the  industrial  work  there  is  the  suggestion  of  great  in- 
terest; such  glimpses  as  we  get  of  the  freight  terminal  by 
McLanahan  &  Bencker,  for  instance,  or  Cass  Gilbert's  army 
supply  base.  Albert  Kahn's  storage  building  in  Detroit  relates 
itself  to  a  similar  interest. 

There  are  traces  of  a  vast  amount  of  reconstruction,  rang- 
ing from  Walter  Chambers's  remodeling  of  No.  1  Broadway 
to  the  altered  Connecticut  farmhouse  by  William  Dominick. 
Electus  Litchfield's  village  is  an  essay  in  community  design. 
A  neighborhood  pattern  is  afforded  to  a  section  of  Montclair 
in  a  frankly  foreign  motive  by  Francis  A.  Nelson.  C.  Howard 
Crane's  theatre,  the  Music  Box,  is  beguiling.  So  is  the  candy 
store  by  Strickland,  Blodget  &  Law.  Among  churches,  sober- 
ly conventional,  such  as  those  by  Allen  and  Collens,  W.  K. 
Rainsford,  and  others,  a  touch  of  originality  in  study  of  pur- 
pose and  choice  of  forms  brings  forward  the  Park  Avenue 
elevation  by  Delano  &  Aldrich.  City  banks  are  plentiful — 
Alfred  Bossom's  Seaboard  National  and  several  more. 


Lockwood  Report  Arriving  from  Florida  in  Sections

sembly  on  Monday  night,  showing  a  net  decrease  of  approxi- 
mately $8,000,000  in  this  year's  budget  as  compared  with  last 
year's  total  of  $135,752,278.  In  submitting  the  bill,  the  Finance 
Chairman  of  the  two  houses.  Senator  Hewitt  and  Assembly- 
man  McGinnies  isued  the  following  explanatory  statement: 

"The  annual  appropriation  bill  reported  tonight  totals  $102,- 
852,610.64.  The  annual  appropriation  bill  of  last  year  totaled 
$98,223,807.58,  but  objects  which  are  cared  for  in  the  annual 
appropriation  bill  this  year  were  provided  for  in  separate  bills 
last  year.  So  that  the  annual  appropriation  bill  of  this  year 
compares  with  a  total  of  $112,445,081.77  for  the  same  purposes 
it.'  1921,  or  a  reduction  in  appropriations  for  similar  purposes 
of  $9,647,471.13.  This  reduction  is  made  in  the  face  of  large 
increases    in   fixed   charges   carried   in   the   Appropriation   bill. 


which  no  sort  of  budgetary  control  could  reduce.  This  totals 
$3,318,584.75. 

"The  bill  appropriates  aproximately  $2,000,000  for  construc- 
tion work  in  the  State  hospitals.  The  appropriation  will  per- 
mit the  progress  of  increasing  the  bed  capacity  and  will 
round  out  the  work  already  started  at  Kings  Park,  Central 
Islip,  Middletown  and  Marcy,  which,  when  completed,  will 
increase  the  capacity  of  the  hospital  group  by  1,600  beds.  In 
addition  to  the  construction  thus  provided  for  at  the  hospitals 
in  the  bill  reported  tonight,  there  was  also  made  available  by 
this  Legislature  an  appropriation  of  $3,000,000  for  the  con- 
struction of  a  new  hospital  unit  at  Creedmoor. 

"For  the  increase  of  terminal  facilities  and  other  improve- 
ments on  the  Barge  Canal  system  the  bill  makes  available 
appropriations  aggregating  $1,000,000."

meeting  for  action  and  the  officers  urgently  request  a  full 
attendance.

Early    Spring   Building  Revival   Is    General    Prediction 

Construction  Statistics  Tabulated  by  F.  W.  Dodge  Company  Indicates  Extreme 
Activity  in  All  Phases  of  Industi'y  Throughout  Coming  Season 

ACTIVITY  in  the  local  building  industry  has  improved  to 
a  considerable  extent  during  the  past  two  weeks  and  prac- 
tically every  one  affiliated  with  construction  is  now  looking 
forw/ard  to  an  unusually  busy  spring  and  summer  season. 
There  are  marked  indications  that  the  usual  spring  revival 
will  commence  earlier  than  it  has  in  former  years  and  that 
by  early  summer  this  locality  will  be  in  the  midst  of  a  real 
building  boom. 

According  to  statistics  tabulated  by  the  F.  W.  Dodge  Com- 
pany architects  and  engineers  in  New  York  State  and  New 
Jersey,  north  of  Trenton,  have  already  experienced  the  early 
season  rush  and  contractors  report  that  there  has  been  a 
decided  upturn  to  the  volume  of  active  construction.  The 
report  for  the  sixth  week  of  1922  shows  that  plans  were  an- 
nounced for  474  new  building  and  engineering  operations  at 
an  estimated  total  cost  of  $20,916,100.  During  the  same  week 
265  contracts  were  awarded  in  this  territory  for  building  proj- 
ects that  will  cost  approximately  $16,259,700. 

Residential   construction  is  mainly   occupying   the   attention 


but  in  Brooklyn,  Queens  and  the  Bronx  along  with  some  of 
the  near-by  suburbs  the  major  portion  of  the  work  to  be 
undertaken  during  the  coming  season  will  be  residential  in 
character. 

The  list  of  474  proposed  building  operations  announced  dur- 
ing the  week  of  February  4  to  10  inclusive  was  made  up  of 
the  following  groups:  82  business  and  commercial  projects 
such  as  stores,  offices,  lofts,  commercial  garages,  etc.,  $3,851,- 
500;  15  educational  buildings,  $1,410,000;  3  hospitals  and  in- 
stitutions, $25,000;  12  factories  and  industrial  plants,  $515,000; 
3  structures  for  the  Army  and  Navy,  $30,000;  2  public  build- 
ings, $10,000;  11  public  works  and  public  utilities,  $888,300;  10 
religious  and  memorial  buildings,  $360,000;  328  residential  proj- 
ects, including  apartments,  flats  and  tenements  and  one-  and 
two-family  dwellings,  $13,287,300  and  8  social  and  recreational 
buildings,  $539,000. 

Among  the  265  operations  for  which  contracts  were  award- 
ed during  the  week  were  37  business  projects  $1,048,000;  5 
educational  buildings,  $181,000;  7  factory  and  industrial  build- 
ings, $674,000;  2  military  and  naval  structures,  $25,000;  6 
of  both  architects  and  builders  when  the  totals  for  the  ter-  public  works  and  public  utilities,  $1,995,700;  3  religious  and 
ritory  are  analyzed  but  in  some  localities  there  has  been  a  memorial  structures,  $147,000;  202  residential  operations  of 
marked  improvement  in  the  volume  of  projected  commercial  various  types,  $12,153,000,  and  3  social  and  recreational  proj- 
and  industrial  building.     Manhattan  is  notable  in  this  respect      ects,  $36,000.

Death  of  John  J.  Xntt 

John  J.  .Nutt,  who  as  a  member  of  the 
editorial  staff  of  the  Record  and  Guide 
was  well  known  to  many  prominent 
building  and  real  estate  men  in  New 
York  City,  died  suddenly  at  the  home  of 
his  son,  Clifford  H.  Nutt,  272  East  163d 
Street,  Monday  evening,  February  6.  His 
death  was  caused  by  heart  trouble,  fol- 
lowing a  short  illness  from  bronchial 
pneumonia. 

Mr.  Nutt  was  born  in  Newburgh  sixty- 
two  years  ago  and  received  his  education 
in  the  public  schools  at  that  city  and  the 
Newburgh  Academy.  As  a  young  man  he 
wrote  numerous  articles  for  the  local 
newspapers  and  subsequently  became  a 
member  of  the  staffs  of  the  Newburgh 
News  and  the  Newburgh  Journal.  Mr. 
Nutt  was  widely  known  in  his  home  city 
and  county  through  his  book  on  "New- 
burgh." written  in  1890-91,  and  also 
through  his  "History  of  Rockland  Coun- 
ty." He  also  wrote  numerous  special  ar- 
ticles  on  historical   and   political   subjects. 

From  1891  to  1901  he  was  the  editor  of 
the  Newburgh  News  and  in  1902  he  came 
to  New  York  City  as  a  member  of  the 
staff  of  the  Record  and  Guide,  and  was 
associated  with  Clinton  W.  Sweet,  its 
founder,  as  associate  editor.  During  this 
association  he  was  instrumental  in  es- 
tablishing the  Architectural  Record  and 
contributed   to    its  editorial   columns. 

In  1917  he  suffered  a  serious  break- 
down in  health  and  w^as  forced  to  discon- 
tinue his  work  with  the  Record  and 
Guide.  After  his  recovery,  however,  he 
became  associated  with  the  Yonkers 
Stateman  as  editorial  writer  and  re- 
mained with  that  publication  until  its 
consolidation  with  the  Yonkers  Daily 
News  last  October,  $ince  then  Mr.  Nutt 
had  spent  his  time  in  travel.  He  was 
connected  with  numerous  civic  and  re- 
ligious organizations  in  .Newburgh;  "was 
an  officer  of  the  Newburgh  Volunteer 
Fire  Department,  secretary  of  the  New- 
burgh Bible  Society,  member  of  the  Hen- 
drick  Hudson  and  Hudson-Fulton  Yacht 
clubs  and  of  Newburgh  Lodge,  No.  309,

CURRENT    BUILDING    OPERATIONS 


ALTHOUGH  weather  conditions  have 
been  far  from  ideal  for  building- 
the  local  situation  is  steadily  improving" 
and  practically  everj-one  identified  with 
the  industry  is  of  the  opinion  that  the 
coming  months  will  witness  one  of  tlie 
most  active  building-  seasons  in  history. 
There  is  a  vast  amount  of  new  work  be- 
ing- planned  by  architects  and  engineers 
and  during  the  past  week  or  ten  days 
much  important  construction  has  been 
released  for  estimates.  The  awards  of 
the  past  two  weeks  clearly  show  the 
trend  of  the  industry  in  the  increasing 
number  of  coi-nmitn-ients  for  large  proj- 
ects  in   the   Jletropolitan  district. 

Common  Brick — Aside  from  the  sale  of 
one  barge-load  there  was  nothing  of  in- 
terest in  tile  Xew  York  n-iarket  for  Hud- 
son River  common  brick.  Inclement 
weather  has  obstructed  building  to  con- 
siderable extent  and  although  there  is 
every  prospect  of  early  improvement  in 
the  l:)Uilding  situation  tlie  -wiiolesale 
brick  market  is  liltely  to  be  lifeless  until 
the  ice  in  the  river  breaks  up  and  it  is 
possible  for  brick  tows  to  get  down  from 
up-river  yards.  There  is  no  need  for 
anxiety  on  the  part  of  builders  as  to  a 
famine  in  common  briclv,  however,  as  a 
number  of  barges  are  unloading  at  var- 
ious docks  in  the  Metropolitan  district 
and  dealers  have  adequate  stocks  on  hand 
for  all  current  requirements.  Some  briclt 
is  coming  into  the  city  by  rail  but  high 
freight  rates  will  preclude  tlie  possibility 
of  continuing  this  method  of  transporta- 
tion after  the  river  is  again  open  to 
navigation.  Common  brick  prices  in  the 
wholesale  market  are  firm  at  $17  a  thous- 
and and  there  is  some  rumor  that  high- 
er prices  will  be  asked  for  the  three  re- 
maining barge  loads. 

Summary — Transactions  in  the  North 
River  brick  market  for  the  week  ending 
Thursday,  February  16,  1922.  Condition 
of  marlset;  Demand  extremely  dull; 
prices  firm  and  with  an  advancing  ten- 
dency. Quotations:  Hudson  Rivers.  $17 
a  thousand  to  dealers  in  cargo  lots  along- 
side dock.  Number  of  cargoes  arrived, 
none;  sales,  1.  Distribution;  Manhattan, 
1.  Remaining  unsold  in  the  New  York 
wl-iolesale    market.    3. 

LuiubiT — Additional  interest  has  been 
apparent  during  the  past  week  in  both 
wholesale  and  retail  departments  of  the 
local  lumber  industry  and  there  are 
marked  signs  that  business  will  continue 
to  increase  until  it  reaches  its  maximum 
for  the  year  early  next  summer.  There 
are  numerous  predictions  that  the  com- 
ing   season     will     be     historic     as     to     the 


amount  of  new  construction  undertaken 
in  this  territory  and  material  manufac- 
turers and  dealers  are  now  making  prep- 
arations for  handling  the  business  that 
will  naturally  result.  Demand  for  lum- 
ber is  excellent  considering  the  time  of 
the  year  and  as  there  is  more  building 
being  started  all  the  tii-ne  lumber  inter- 
ests are  looking  toward  the  future  for 
very  active  trade  conditions.  At  present 
lumber  prices  are  firm  and  the  market 
shows  no  signs  of  weakening.  Whole- 
sale prices  are  from  $1  to  $2  a  thousand 
feet    higher    than    they    were    a    year    ago 


and  consequently  retail  prices  are  higher 

and  firm.  Supplies  are  adequate  for  all 
current  demand  but  production  at  mill 
points  is  slo-w  and  soine  lumber  dealers 
have  recently  expressed  some  anxiety 
about  the  possibility  of  a  scarcity  when 
the    big   demand    comes    next    spring. 

Structural  Steel — Activity  in  the  local 
steel  market  has  improved  to  a  very  de- 
cided extent  during  the  past  "week  and 
the  outlook  is  better  than  it  has  been 
for  some  time  past.  Recent  commitments 
have  amounted  to  a  substantial  total

week,  and  the  majority  of  jobbers  feel 
that  the  buying  slump  is  over.  There  is 
still  a  large  amount  of  active  construc- 
tion with  glass  requirements  still  un- 
filled, and  ever>'  indication  that  a  large 
number  of  important  operations  will  be 
in  the  market  for  window  glass  during 
the  early  spring.  Prices  are  easier  than 
they  were  several  weeks  ago  and  will  in 
all  probability  hold  hold  to  their  present 
levels  until   spring. 

Cast  Iron  Pipe — Demand  holds  good 
and  for  the  most  part  manufacturers  are 
optimistic  about  the  future.  Practically 
all  of  the  Eastern  pipe  plants  are  run- 
ning at  about  seventy-flve  per  cent,  of 
capacity  which  is  far  better  than  the 
situation  one  year  ago.  Orders  from 
municipal  sources  are  light  at  present  al- 
though a  considerable  tonnage  is  sched- 
uled to  be  awarded  early  next  spring. 
Private  buying,  although  light,  is  steady 
and  at  present  the  mainstay  of  the  in- 
dustry. Prices  are  firm  with  New  York 
quotations  $47.30  per  net  ton  for  6  in. 
and  larger;  $52.30  for  4  in.  and  5  in.,  and 
$62.30  for  3  in.,  with  Class  A  and  gas 
pipe  $4  extra  per  ton. 

Linseed  Oil — The  tone  of  this  market 
has  improved  to  some  extent  during  the 
past  week,  but  business  is  far  from  being 
upon  a  normal  basis.  Buying  is  light  and 
inquiries  are  not  quite  as  numerous  as 
they  should  be  at  this  time  of  the  year. 
Jobbers  are  looking  forward  to  a  decided 
increase  in  spring  business  due  to  the  ex- 
cellent prospects  for  a  building  revival  of 
large  proportions.  Prices  are  fairly  firm 
and  no  changes  liave  been  reported  during 
the  week. 

Nails — The  marliet  is  quiet  and  prac- 
tically without  change  of  consequence. 
Demand  is  dull  at  present  but  there  are 
evidences  of  an  early  improvement  as  a 
result  of  the  steadily  increasing  volume 
of  active  building  construction.  There 
has  recently  developed  considerable  com- 
petition for  all  local  nail  business,  and 
therefore  prices  are  being  shaded  to  some 
extent.  It  is  stated  that  wire  nails  are 
being  offered  in  New  York  City  at  $3.15 
per  keg,  f.o.b.  New  York,  and  cut  nails  at 
$3.65  for  lots  of  ten  kegs  or  more,  or  for 
mixed  lots. 

Faee  Brick — The  demand  for  face  brick 
in  the  Metropolitan  district  is  steadily  im- 
proving and  both  manufacturers  and  deal- 
ers are  looking  forward  to  a  very  busy 
spring  and  summer  building  season.  The 
large  amount  of  apartment  house  and 
other  residential  construction  on  the  pro- 
gram combined  with  an  increasing  volume 
of  high  class  commercial  building  will 
stimulate  the  demand  for  face  brick.  Prices 
are  unclianiied.

A  Positive  Foundation  Upon  Which  to  Build 


The  Federal  Reserve  Board,  in  its  .January  bulletin,  declares  that  "the  most  encourag- 
ing feature  of  the  business  situation  is  that  a  positive  foundation  apparently  has  been  es- 
tablished upon  which  to  build  development  during  1922.  Governor  Harding  believes  that  the 
country  as  a  whole  has  passed  safely  the  points  of  danger  entailed  in  after-war  deflation. 

One  positive  foundation  upon  which  real  estate  and  construction  interests  can  effec- 
tively build  their  business  is  regular,  consistent  advertising  in

Wherein  Lockwood  Plan  Is  Weak 

The  Real  Estate  Board  of  New  York  is  logical  and 
convincing  in  its  opposition  to  the  bill  which  the  Lock- 
wood  Committee  has  presented  at  Albany,  permitting  the 
investment  by  life  insurance  companies  of  10  per  cent,  of 
their  total  admitted  assets  in  the  purchase  of  land  and 
the  construction  thereon  of  apartment  buildings  in  which 
the  "average  net  rental  of  such  apartment,  tenement  or 
other  dwelling  house  erected  thereon,  as  estimated  at  the 
time  of  commencement  of  construction,  be  $9,  or  less, 
per  month  per  room."  In  a  brief  sent  to  Albany  for  the 
enhghtenment  of  the  legislators  the  Real  Estate  Board  ex- 
poses the  dangerous  possibilities  of  this  measure  and  points 
out  some  of  its  most  ambiguous  features. 

This  measure,  as  drawn,  applies  to  all  cities  of  the 
first  class,  but  it  is  a  well-known  fact  that  its  sponsors 
expect  its  provisions  to  apply  chiefly,  if  not  exclusively,  to 
New  York  City.  Under  its  provisions  life  insurance  com- 
panies are  authorized  not  only  to  buy  land  and  construct 
buildings  for  dwelling  purposes,  but  they  are  authorized 
to  hold  the  land  and  improvement,  and  to  go  into  the 
business  of   renting,   rent  collection,  etc. 

The  Lockwood  measure  raises  a  doubt  as  to  what  may 
be  classed  as  "admitted"  assets  if  so  invested.  The  bill 
stipulates  that  land  purchased  by  an  insurance  company 
shall  not  be  allowed  as  an"admitted  asset"  unless  improved, 
nor  if  improved  shall  the  cost  of  such  land  and  improve- 
ment thereon  be  so  allowed  "unless  the  average  net  rental 
of  such  apartment,  tenement,  or  other  dwelling  erected 
thereon,  as  estimated  at  the  commencement  of  construc- 
tion, be  $9,  or  less,  per  month  per  room."  This  presents 
a  hard  proposition  to  insurance  companies,  which  neces- 
sarily would  lessen  their  quick  resources  if  partly  invested 
in  land  not  classed  as  an  asset  until  improved  by  a  build- 
ing requiring  months  of  construction  work.  There  also 
remains  the  question  of  what  shall  constitute  "  net  rental." 

Entirely  aside  from  the  merits  or  demerits  of  the  bill, 
however,  the  question  arises  as  to  why  foreign  companies 
doing  business  in  this  city,  or  New  York  companies  also 
doing  business  in  many  other  states  of  the  Union,  could 
be  expected  to  invest  ten  per  cent,  of  their  assets  in  New 
York  City  property  to  help  out  the  people  of  this  city 
when  these  assets  are  derived  from  the  premiums  paid  on 
life  insurance  policies  held  by  persons  living  in  other  states. 
Policy  holders  outside  of  New  York  City  undoubtedly 
would  object  to  such  a  plan. 

No  one  questions  the  desirability  of  attracting  more 
mortgage  money  into  the  building  field,  but  can  it  be  reason- 
ably expected  that  life  insurance  companies,  or  any 
Other  handlers  of  large  amounts  of  money,  would  invest 
their  funds  in  a  scheme  so  speculative  in  character  as  the 
one  covered  by  the  Lockwood  Committee  plan?  If  it  were 
proposed  that  life  insurance  companies  be  permitted  to  in- 
vest 10  per  cent,  of  their  assets  in  such  mortgage  loans  as 
might  appear  safe  to  the  company  officials,  without  restric- 
tion as  to  the  maximum  rent  per  month  which  a  room 
should  produce,  that  would  be  one  thing.     But  what  this 


bill  proposes  is  an  entirely  different  matter,  although,  for- 
tunately, the  measure  is  permissive,  and  not  mandatory, 
in  its  provisions.  If  it  were  mandatory  it  undoubtedly 
would  be  laughed  out  of  the  legislative  halls. 

If  Senator  Lockwood  and  his  associates  want  to  accom- 
plish something  really  important  in  the  way  of  protecting 
the  mortgage  loan  market  they  might  much  better  give 
their  serious  attention  to  the  defeat  of  the  Knight  Bill, 
which  seeks  to  amend  the  Banking  Law  so  as  to  author- 
ize trust  companies  and  savings  banks  to  invest  their  funds 
in  Federal  Farm  Loan  Bonds.  This  measure  constitutes 
a  very  serious  menace  because,  if  it  should  become  a  law, 
the  Western  farmers  would  make  a  hard  drive  to  get  from 
New  York  institutions  large  investments  in  these  bonds. 
The  Farm  Bloc  which  is  now  in  the  saddle  in  Congress 
has  given  the  country  a  forceful  illustration  of  what  the 
Western  farmers  can  accomplish  when  they  set  them- 
selves to  any  given  task.  There  is  evidence  that  the  suc- 
cess of  the  Farm  Bloc  in  carrying  out  its  selfish  program 
at  Washington  has  encouraged  the  organization  of  a  some- 
what similar  Farm  Bloc  at  Albany,  having  for  its  object 
the  passage  of  legislation  advantageous  to  the  agricultur- 
ists of  the  state,  regardless  of  the  interest  of  all  other 
classes.  That  the  Farm  Bloc  at  Albany  is  a  force  to  be 
reckoned  with  was  demonstrated  early  this  week  when  its 
members  won  distinct  victories  in  the  Senate  through  the 
passage  of  measures  re-organizing  the  Department  of 
Farms  and  Markets  and  re-codifying  the  State  Agricul- 
tural Law. 

The  Farm  Bloc  at  Albany,  according  to  dispatches  from 
the  State  Capital,  is  out  to  do  business.  One  of  its  chief 
objects  is  the  passage  of  the  Knight  Bill,  which  might  di- 
vert to  other  channels  many  millions  of  dollars  which  ought 
to  be  used  for  mortgage  loans  right  here  in  the  metropolis. 
The  sinister  suggestion  has  been  made  that  the  Farm  Bloc 
may  be  prevailed  upon  to  favor  the  extension  of  the  life  of 
the  Lockwood  Committee  if  the  supporters  of  that  plan  in- 
dicate their  willingness  in  turn  to  support  the  Knight  Bill. 
If  any  such  dicker  should  be  made  between  the  two  elem- 
ents at  Albany  it  would  constitute  one  of  the  most  dis- 
graceful incidents  known  at  the  State  Capital  in  many 
years. 


Way  Cleared  for  Port  Development 

The  New  York  Legislature  now  has  joined  the  New 
Jersey  Legislature  in  favorable  action  upon  the  plan  which 
will  make  possible  the  systematic  development  of  the  port 
facilities  in  the  Metropolitan  District.  Governor  Miller  and 
Governor  Edwards  both  are  supporters  of  the  plan  and  no 
important  obstacle  to  the  carrying  out  of  this  great  project 
is  in  sight. 

Mr.  Outerbridge,  Chairman  of  the  Commission,  which 
has  handled  the  preliminary  work,  says  there  will  be  no 
delay  and  expresses  the  pleasure  of  the  Commission  in 
informing  the  country  that  "The  Port  of  New  York  is 
proceeding  along  progressive  and  systematic  lines  to  make 


230 


RECORD    AND    GUIDE

its   facilities  ample  to  take  care  of  all  the  burdens  that 
commerce  will  impose  upon  it." 

Such  efiforts  as  have  been  made  to  inject  politics  into  this 
great  enterprise  have  failed.  The  way  is  now  paved  for  the 
Port  of  New  York  to  catch  up  with  its  opportunities,  to 
come   more   nearlv    abreast   of    the    times,    and   to    check, 


through  the  possession  of  better  facilities,  the  diversion  of 
commerce  from  this  to  other  ports.  Co-operation  in  this 
project  between  the  Federal  Government  and  the  state 
governments  of  New  York  and  New  Jersey  must  prove  of 
tremendous  advantage  to  all  who  use  the  Port  of  New 
York  or  have  a  genuine  interest  in  it. 


Hearing  at  Albany  on  Life  Insurance  Loan  Bill 

(Special  to  the  Record  and  Guide) 


Albany,  Feb.  23,  1922. 

THE  Lockwood  Committee's  plan  to  permit  life  insurance 
companies  to  enter  the  real  estate  field,  buy  land,  and 
build  dwellings  or  apartments  thereon,  had  a  nearing  be- 
fore the  Senate  and  Assembly  Insurance  committees,  and  its 
reception  was  cold. 

Walter  Stabler,  Comptroller  of  the  Metropolitan  Life  In- 
surance Company,  said  that  the  company  was  in  sympathy  with 
every  move  that  would  help  in  any  way  to  improve  housing 
conditions  in  New  York   City. 

"If  the  bill  is  passed,"  said  Mr.  Stabler,  "we  will  satisfy 
ourselves  that  we  can,  with  absolute  safety  to  the  policy 
holders  of  the  company,  invest  in  real  estate.  We  are  not 
anxious  to  own  real  estate  as  an  investment,  but  we  would 
like  to  do  something  to  help  relieve  the  present  stringency  in 
dwellings.  But  I  want  to  tell  the  members  of  this  Committee 
that  we  will  investigate  this  thing  in  dead  earnest  before  we 
make  any  move.  If  we  find  that  we  can  go  into  this  project 
with  safety  to  the  policy  holders,  we  intend  to  build,  as  a 
starter,  one  block  of  dwellings,  which  will  probably  cost  us 
between  $900,000  and  $1,000,000.  If  that  proves  to  be  a  success, 
we  intend  to  ask  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  company  for 
permission  to  go  further  into  the  matter.  I  cannot  say  definite- 
ly now  what  course  we  will  ta'<e,  but  I  can  almost  assure  you 
that  it  will  be  favorable. 

"It  looks  to  us  now  as  if  dwellings  could  be  erected  to  rent 
on  an  average  of  $9  per  room  per  month.  Of  course  we  would 
want  to  obtain  6  per  cent,  on  our  investment  with  an  additional 
5  per  cent,  for  amortization." 

Edward  P.  Doyle,  legislative  agent  of  the  New  York  Real 
Estate  Board,  produced  evidence  to  show  that  if  the  legislature 
by  any  chance  passes  the  law,  and  life  insurance  companies 
enter  into  the  scheme  for  competing  in  the  real  estate  field, 
private  money  will  be  driven  from  real  estate  markets,  and 
construction  work  on  new  apartments  will  cease. 

F.  A.  Matthews,  a  builder  who  in  the  last  twenty  years  has 
constructed   houses   in  which  25,000  people  now   live,  told  the 


committee  that  he  would  guarantee  to  build  houses  to  rent  for 
$7  a  room  a  month  if  the  measure  became  law.  He  said  there 
was  no  reason  why  houses  could  not  be  built  today  to  rent 
for  that  sum. 

"Any  one  who  is  ready  to  invest  money  in  real  estate  to 
relieve  the  present  housing  shortage,"  said  Mr.  Matthews, 
"ought  to  be  encouraged,  and  for  that  reason  I  think  this 
measure  should  be  passed  by  the  Legislature.  When  I  first 
heard  of  the  bill  I  thought  I  would  be  opposed  to  it,  but  after 
I  read  it  I  changed  my  mind.  Its  passage  would  be  the  best 
thing  that  has  happened  in  the  real  estate  field  in  years. 

"The  measure  has  a  provision  in  it  which  says  that  the 
rooms  must  rent  for  not  more  than  $9  a  month,  and  I  want  to 
say  right  now  that  my  company  will  guarantee  to  build  homes 
if  this  bill  is  passed  which  will  rent  for  $7  a  month  or  less." 

Leroy  A.  Lincoln,  of  the  Metropolitan  Life,  told  the  Com- 
mittee that  if  the  bill  were  passed  the  company  intended  to  go 
into  the  subject  very  carefully  and  that  if  it  found  that  it 
would  be  possible  to  invest  its  money  in  such  houses  as  the 
bill  proposes  without  danger  to  policy  holders,  it  would  do  so. 

Elias  H.  Cohen  spoke  against  the  plan,  as  did  Stewart 
Browne,  president  of  the  United  Real  Estate  Owners'  Associa- 
tion. 

Members  of  the  Lockwood  committee  are  studying  "their" 
report  this  week  to  find  out  what  they  are  to  "recommend." 
This  report  was  written  at  Palm  Beach  by  Chief  Counsel  Un- 
termyer,  and  sent  to  Albany  in  sections.  Section  after  section 
of  the  report  has  come  from  the  south,  with  a  string  of 
recommendations,  drastic,  widespread  and  lengthy.  One  pro- 
posal is  that  the  state  take  over  the  regulation  of  rates  of  all 
insurance  companies,  including  fire  and  casualty  companies. 
Mr.  Untermyer  claims  that  insurance  costs  eat  up  six  per  cent, 
of  building  expenditures  today,  and  says  these  represent 
enormous  profits. 

Executive  sessions  of  the  Lockwood  committee  are  scheduled 
for  every  day  this  week,  so  that  each  phase  of  the  report  and 
the   recommendations,  can  be   considered   in   detail. 


Record  and  Guide  Annual  for  1921  a  Valuable  Volume 


ISSUED  at  an  earlier  date  than  in  many  years,  the  Annual 
Number  for  1921  of  the  Record  and  Guide  Quarterly  is 
now  ready  for  delivery.  The  year  was  an  active  one  in 
large  transactions  and  well  diversified  in  medium-sized  and 
small  sales,  and  the  Annual  reflects  the  good  bottom  that 
characterized  the  real  estate  market  for  the  twelve  months  it 
covers.  It  was  a  year  that  brought  many  substantial  investors 
into  the  market,  as  well  as  a  wide  range  of  professional  opera- 
tors. The  greater  part  of  the  summer  was  unusually  active 
for  that  season  of  the  year.  As  a  reference  book  on  every- 
thing pertaining  to  the  real  estate  market  of  the  year  last  past 
this  volume  of  641  pages  is  invaluable.  It  contains  all  of  the 
Manhattan  records  from  January  1  to  December  31  inclusive. 

Arranged  geographically,  chronologically  and  alphabetically, 
all  of  the  records,  of  whatever  kind,  may  be  easily  found  by 
the  subscriber.  It  is  the  most  complete  publication  covering 
the  field  issued  anywhere.  In  one  volume  are  all  conveyances, 
mortgages,  leases,  wills,  real  estate  appraisals,  assignments  of 
mortgages,  satisfied  mortgages,  auction  sales,  release  of  dowers, 
contracts,  agreements,  consents,  assignments  of  rents,  powers 
of  attorney,  designation,  resignation  and  appointment  of  new 
trustees  and  executors,  etc.,  extension  of  mortgages,  partici- 
pation   and   subordination,    agreements    of   mortgages,   cancel- 


lations and  surrenders  of  leases,  new  buildings  and  alterations, 
together  with  cross  references  for  the  entire  year.  This  is  why 
the  Annual  is  an  indispensable  adjunct  of  every  up-to-date  real 
estate  office.  The  attorney's  name  in  all  mortgages  and  cross 
reference  to  appraisals  is  included. 

As  a  quick  reference  to  old  business  and  as  a  stimulus  to 
new  business  the  Record  and  Guide  Annual  should  be  in  the 
hands  of  every  real  estate  owner,  operator,  agent  or  broker. 
The  new  volume  fully  sustains  its  past  repuation  for  complete 
performance  of  the  service  it  undertakes  to  give  to  its  sub- 
scribers. 


HEALTH  DEPARTMENT  figures   show  that  the   death 
rate  in  New  York  City  for  adults  and  children  was  the 
lowest  in  1921  of  any  year  since  the  records  have  been 
kept. 

"The  general  death  rate  was  11.17  per  1,000  population.  In 
1920  the  rate  was  12.93.  Ten  years  ago  it  was  16,  and  twenty 
years  ago  it  was  20.  Fifty  years  ago  it  was  30  per  1,000  per- 
sons. I 
The  infant  death  rate  was  71.1  per  10,000,  the  lowest.  Dr. 
Copelands  reports,  in  any  great  city.    In  1920  this  rate  was  85.

RECORD    AND    GUIDE

First  Appellate  Division  Fixes  8%  as  Reasonable  Rental 

Holds  Basis  of  Calculation  of  Yield  After  Deduction  of  Expenses  Is  on  Fair 
Valuation  of  Property  Unencumbered  by  Mortgages 


A  REASONABLE  rental  return  to  the  landlord  has  been 
adopted  by  the  Appellate  Division,  First  Department, 
as  that  which  will  yield  eight  per  cent  on  the  fair 
valuation  of  the  premises  as  though  they  were  unencumbered 
by  mortgages. 

This  decision  agrees  substantially  with  that  of  the  Appellate 
Division  in  Brooklyn  and  of  Judge  Learned  Hand  in  the  Feder- 
al District  Court  both  rendered  last  Fall.  Justice  Shelby  in 
Brooklyn  laid  down  five  rules  for  guidance  in  fixing  rentals — 
to  determine  the  present  fair  market  value;  the  gross  rentals; 
the  operating  expenses  for  the  last  year;  deduct  operating  ex- 
penses from  gross  rentals  giving  net;  net  rentals  not  to  exceed 
ten  per  cent  of  the  present  value.  He  added  that  rental  value 
is  in  no  way  affected  whether  the  property  is  mortgaged  or  by 
change    of    ownership. 

Judge  Hand  took  the  assessed  rather  than  the  market  value 
as  a  basis  for  calculating  the  return  and  allowed  eight  per 
cent  as  a  reasonable  rental  and  stated  that  the  lessor  is  en- 
titled in  each  case  to  that  portion  of  the  reasonable  rental  of 
the  whole  building  which  the  value  of  the  tenants  accommoda- 
tion bears  to  that  of  the  aggregate  tenants. 

The  latest  decision  was  rendered  in  the  case  of  the  A.  C.  & 
H.  M.  Hall  Realty  Co.  against  Leon  Sidney  Moos  involving 
the  rent  of  an  apartment  at  251-255  West  Ninety-eighth  Street, 
reversing  the  judgment  of  the  Municipal  Court  rendered  in 
favor  of  the  plaintiff,  and  ordering  a  new  trial.  Sixteen  cases 
were  involved  in  the  appeal,  having  been  tried  together  under 
a  stipulation  that  the  same  evidence  should  be  applicable  to 
all  of  them.  Louis  W.  Stotesbury  appeared  as  counsel  for  the 
plaintiff;  Samuel  Untermyer  and  William  Unger  for  the  de- 
fendent;  and  Lewis  M.  Isaacs  for  the  Real  Estate  Board  of 
New  York.  The  opinion  was  delivered  by  Justice  Samuel 
Greenbaum  and  concurred  in  by  Justices  John  Proctor  Clarke, 
Victor  J.  Dowling  and  Walter  Lloyd  Smith,  and  dissented 
from  by  Justice  Alfred  R.  Page.    The  opinion  follows: 

The  pleadings  in  all  of  the  cases  are  substantially  alike.  The  com- 
plaint alleges  that  the  defendant  was  in  possession  of  certain  designated 
apartments  in  one  of  the  two  adjoining  apartment  houses  located  re- 
spectively at  251  and  255  West  98th  Street,  Borough  of  Manhattan,  under 
a  written  lease  from  ths  plaintiff,  which  expired  on  September  30th, 
1920,  and  that  defendant  wrongfully  held  over  and  continued  in  pos- 
session after  the  expiration  of  the  lease  without  the  permission  of  the 
landlord.  Judgment  was  demanded  for  the  reasonable  value  of  the  use 
and  occupation  of  the  premises  at  the  rate  of  $250  per  month. 

The  answer,  In  addition  to  a  general  denial,  sets  up  the  affirmative 
statutory  defense  that  the  rent  is  unjust,  unreasonable  and  oppressive. 
The  judgment  awarded  against  the  defendants  ,n  the  16  cases  covering 
the  months  of  October,  November  and  December,  1920,  were  from  60  to 
70%  higher  than  the  rents  under  their  leases  which  expired  on  Sep- 
tember 30th,  1920. 

It  is  the  contention  of  the  respondent  that  the  evidence  did  not  warrant 
the  conclusions  of  the  Trial  Justice.  A  bill  of  particulars,  as  required  by 
Chap.  944  of  the  Laws  of  1920,  was  filed  by  the  plaintiff.  The  apartr 
ments  under  consideration  are  in  two  adjoining  buildings  known  aa 
251-255  West  98th  Street,  which  constitute  one  unit,  and  which  ais 
operated  as  a  unit.  The  two  buildings  are  substantially  identical  In 
size  and  character,  excepting  that  on  the  roof  of  No.  251  Is  an  apart- 
ment of  four  rooms  and  two  baths  described  as  a  *'pent  house."  All 
of  the  other  apartments,  with  the  exception  of  two  of  them,  one  in  each 
building,  which  have  five  rooms  and  two  baths  6ckch,  consist  of  six  rooms 
and  two  baths  each.  The  assessed  valuation  of  tbo  two  houses  for  the 
year  1920  was  5400,000  and  for  the  year  1921,  ?450,000.  One  of  the  prop- 
erties la  subject  to  a  mortgage  of  $190,000,  bearing  Interest  at  the  rate 
of  514%,  and  the  other  is  free  and  clear  of  Incumbrances.  The  bill 
of  particulars  alleges  that  the  plaintiff  purchased  the  land  on  which  the 
■  buildings  were  erected   at   a   cost  of  somewhat  over  $173,000,    and   that 


the  buildings  were  constructed  in  1913  under  the  supervision  of  the 
plaintiff  at  a  cost  of  upwards  of  $349,000,  making  (tie  total  cost  of  the 
land  and  buildings  somewhat  upwards  of  .$522,000.  The  actual  operating 
expenses  from  October  1st,  1919,  to  September  30th,  1920,  omitting 
interest  on  the  mortgage  and  Including  water  rates  and  insurance, 
agent's  commissions  and  an  item  designated  as  allowance  for  "deprecia- 
tion" of  $7,944.00,  are  stated  to  have  been  $37,793.21.  Adding  thereto  the 
sum  of  $9,920.00  the  taxes  for  the  year,  total  expense  for  maintenance 
would  be  $47,885.00,  thus  leaving  a  net  income  of  $27,171.79.  In  the 
foregoing  resume  we  have  omitted  the  item  of  interest  on  the  mortgage, 
since  we  are  of  the  opinion  that  the  return  or  profit  in  this  class  of 
cases  should  be  calculated  upon  the  basis  of  the  value  of  the  property 
regardless  of  any  mortgage  thereon. 

The  bill  of  particulars  also  sets  forth  details  of  the  estimated  cost  oJ 
maintenance  and  other  deductions  for  the  year  commencing  October  Ist, 
1920,  and  ending  September  30th,  1921,  which  aggregate  $87,976.00.  and 
include  interest  on  the  mortgage  and  a  number  of  items  which  were  not 
embodied  as  Items  of  expense  for  the  preceding  fiscal  year.  Deducting 
the  item  of  Interest  on  mortgage,  the  total  estimated  expense  for  the  year 
ending  September  30th,  1921,  would  be  $77,526.00,  which  is  an  increase 
over  the  preceding  year  of  $29,812.79. 

Upon  the  trial  plaintiff  assumed  the  burden  of  proving  that  it  was  en- 
titled to  largely  increased  rentals,  owing  to  the  increased  cost  of 
maintenance  and  the  enhanced  value  of  the  property  in  October  1921. 
The  decision  of  the  Trial  Court  does  not  disclose  upon  what  Iindinga 
of  fact  the  Judgments  were  predicated.  It  therefore  becomes  necessary 
to  analyze  the  proofs  for  the  purpose  of  ascertaining  whether  there  was 
sufficient,    competent   and   proper  evidence   to   uphold   the   Judgment. 

The  testimony  In  behalf  of  the  plaintiff  on  the  subject  of  the  market 
value  of  the  properties  was  given  by  four  witnesses.  One  was  a  real  estate 
agent  having  charge  of  a  large  number  of  apartment  houses  In  the 
neighborhood  where  the  property  is  located.  Another  was  a  real  estate 
owner  and  agent  and  the  two  remaining  ones  were  real  estate  owners  and 
builders.  These  witnesses  were  in  substantial  accord  that  the  value  of 
each  building  was  about  $300,000,  and  each  lot  about  $100,000,  making 
the  total  value  of  both  properties  $800,000,  a  sum  nearly  $300,000  more 
than  the  properties  cost  the  plaintiff  in   1913. 

The  testimony  of  the  agent  demonstrates  that  he  was  absolutely  in- 
competent as  an  expert  on  present  values.  His  testimony  was  not 
based  upon  any  experience  in  cases  of  sales,  but  was  simply  an  expres- 
sion of  his  opinion.  He  constantly  kept  saying  that  the  figures  given  hf 
him  were  what  he  thought  the  properties  were  worth.  In  our  opinion 
his  testimony  lacked  any  probative  force  and  should  have  been  disre- 
garded. Incidentally  it  may  be  said  that  this  witness  is  a  member  of 
the  firm  which  is  the  agency  In  control  of  other  properties  belonging  to 
the    plaintiff. 

The  witness  who  was  both  an  owner  and  an  agent  merely  estimated 
the  value  of  the  buildings  upon  an  arbitrary  calculation  of  present 
cost  of  construction,  without  showing  his  qualifications,  based  upon  the 
cubical  contents  of  the  buildings  multiplied  by  60c  per  cubic  feet,  thus 
reaching  a  figure  of  about  $400,000  as  the  value  of  each  building.  In- 
cluding the  land.  He  also  testified  that  in  1913,  the  cost  of  construction 
was  42  cents  a  cubic  feet. 

The  third  witness  was  a  real  estate  owner  an«  builder,  who  testified 
that  he  had  purchased  property  in  the  neighborhood.  His  testimony  on 
values  was  given  as  the  result  of  computations  of  present  cost  of  con- 
struction mentally  made  by  him,  based  upon  the  amount  of  steel  and 
plaster  and  the  number  of  bricks  and  the  quantity  of  excavation  which 
he  thought  would  be  necessary  in  the  construction  of  the  building, 
without  giving  any  details  of  quantity  or  prices.  He  had  made  no  written 
calculations.  His  testimony  on  cross-examination  as  to  the  cost  of  con- 
struction   in    1913   is   as   follows: 

Q.     And  you  simply  knew  the  general  type  of  construction? 

A.     Yes. 

Q.  How  much  a  cubic  foot  did  the  Hall  building  (meaning  plaintiff's 
building)   cost  to  build? 

A.     Well,  we  will  say  around  sixty  cents  a  cubic  foot. 

Q.     In   those   days? 

A.    Yes,   sir. 

Q.  Did  you  hear  Mr.  Sharpe  testify  here  this  morning  that  the  cost 
of  that  building  was  forty-two  cents  a  cubic  toot? 

A.     I  heard  him  testify,  but  I  didn't  pay  any  attention;  I  don't  know." 

The  remaining  witness  as  to  market  value  of  the  properties  was  a 
builder  and  owner,  who  had  erected  apartment  buildings  and  who  had 
purchased  and  sold  buildings  between  110th  and  72nd  Streets  In  the  City 
of  New  York.  He  testified  on  his  direct  examination  that  be  had  ex- 
amined the  buildings  two  days  before  he  testified,  and  that  In  hia  opinion 
they  would  cost  $312,500  to  "build  today"  without  carrying  charges.  Hd 
gave  it  as  bis  opinion  that  the  value  of  the  building  and  land  today 
was  $412,500  for  each  house.  When  asked  upon  cross-examination  If  the 
figures  he  gave  as  to  the  value  of  these  two  buildings  were  the  cost  of

replacement   today,   be   answered,  ■  "If   I    were  igiving   the  value  of   those 
buildings  at  the  cost  today,  they  would  be  worth  $550,000  apiece." 

"Q.  Didn't  you  testify  just  a  moment  ago,  I  think  on  direct  examina- 
tion, that  the  value  of  these  buildings  was  three  hundred  and  twelve 
thousand  five  hundred  dollars,  because  of  what  it  would  cost  to  build 
them  today? 

A.     No.      Counsel    asked   the    stenographer    to    read    the    witness'    testi- 
mony.    The  witness  then   stated:     "If  you  want  to  know  what  I   said,   I 
said   they    would    cost   today   $312,500    without   carrying    charges."      Then 
there  was  a  question  asked  as  to  the  value." 
"Q.     What  do  you  mean  by  carrying  charges? 

A.  The  interest  and  taxes  and  other  incidental  expenses  which  are 
incurred  during  the  construction  of  the  building,  such  as  the  building 
loan  operations,  which  amount  to  quite  a  little."  When  asked  what  the 
carrying  charges  on  the  building  during  the  time  of  construction  would 
be,  he  answered  about  .$35,000  a  building.  It  is  quite  apparent  that  the 
testimony  of  the  witness  was  reckless.  It  is  a  matter  of  judicial  ex- 
perience that  expert  opinions  of  real  estate  values  are  of  the  most  un- 
satisfactory character.  Touching  upon  this  subject  in  City  of  Knoxville 
v.  Knoxville  Water  Co.,  112  U.  S.  18,  the  Court  stated:  "That  most  un- 
satisfactory evidence,  the  testimony  of  expert  witnesses  employed  by 
the   parties." 

It  is  our  opinion  that  the  so-called  opinion  testimony  given  in  this 
case  as  to  the  value  of  the  properties,  was  most  unreliable  in  character 
and  most  unsatisfactory  in  any  aspect. 

The  first  witness  whose  testimony  we  referred  to,  merely  said  what  he 
thought  the  property  was  worth,  regardless  of  any  experience  on  his 
part  in  effecting  sale  or  knowing  of  sales  of  similar  property  in  the 
neighborhood.  In  the  case  of  the  other  witnesses  their  opinions  when 
probed  were  not  based  upon  any  actual  experience  of  sales,  but  upoa 
present  reproduction  value  of  the  property  in  question. 

In  Brooklyn  Borough  Gas  Company  vs.  Public  Service  Commission,  17 
State  Dept.  Rep.  SI.  9S,  itO,  former  United  States  Supreme  Court  Justici 
Hughes,  acting  as  referee,  aptly  observed  in  his  opinion  :  "To  base  rates 
upon  a  plant  valuation  simply  representing  a  hypothetical  cost  of  repro- 
duction at  a  time  of  abnormally  high  prices  due  to  exceptional  condi- 
tions, would  be  manifestly  unfair  to  the  public."  We  may  take  judicial 
notice  of  the  fact  that  during  the  past  few  years  the  excessively  high 
price  of  building  materials  and  other  factors  that  ei.ter  into  building 
construction  work  have  discouraged  the  erection  of  buildings  for  dwell- 
ing purposes.  Reproduction  value  during  such  an  abnormal  period  is 
not  a  fair  test  of  property  valuation  for  the  purpose  of  fixing  fair 
rental  values  under  the  emergency  rent  laws.  The  natural  law  of 
supply  and  demand  is  not  applicable  to  an  abnormal  period  any  more 
than  would  the  law  of  supply  and  demand  be  favorably  considered  by 
the  courts  in  justification  of  the  existence  of  monopolies  controlling 
the  npcessities  of  life.  It  is,  of  course,  difficult  to  formulate  an  absolute 
rule  for  ascertaining  the  base  upon  which  the  fair  rental  return  to  the 
landlord  is  to  be  calculated,  at  a  time  when  a  fair  market  value  is  not 
ascertainable.  It  seems  to  us  that,  where  it  can  oe  shown  that  there 
was  an  existing  market  value  of  property  before  the  period  of  abnormality 
set  in,  it  would  be  proper  to  accept  such  proof  if  competently  given, 
taking  into  consideration  at  the  same  time  the  cost  of  the  property  when 
the  owner  purchased  it  or  constructed  the  building,  its  assessed  valua- 
tion, actual  bona  fied  sales  of  similar  property,  if  any,  In  the  vicinity, 
and  such  other  facts  and  circumstances  as  may  be  pertinent  in  a  given 
case,  in  order  to  fix  the  fair  value  of  the  property  for  the  purpose  of 
determining    a    fair    rental. 

The  testimony  in  this  case  bearing  upon  the  market  value  of  the 
properties,  aside  from  its  inherently  unsatisfactory  character,  was  based 
on  an  erroneous  theory,  and  hence  has  no  probative  force. 

In  addition  to  the  abortive  attempt  to  prove  market  value,  there  was 
testimony  given  in  behalf  of  the  plaintiff  by  a  witness  who  qualified  as 
a  real  estate  agent  of  many  years  experience,  familiar  with  the  renting 
of  apartments  in  the  neighborhood  of  the  property  in  question,  who 
testified  as  to  what  he  considered  was  a  fair  renta,l  for  the  premises  in 
question. 

Under  the  Rent  Laws  it  devolved  upon  the  Court,  or  the  jury  in  the 
event  of  a  jury  trial,  to  determine  what  a  fair  rental  was.  The  Rent 
Laws  were  enacted  to  combat  the  "Unreasonable"  rents  which  the  Legis- 
lature found  were  oppressively  being  exacted.  To  permit  a  witness  to 
give  his  opinion  as  to  what  he  thought  was  a  fair  rental  baaed  upon 
prevailing  oppressive  rentals  would  be  to  permu  a  usurpation  of  the 
functions  of  the  court  or  jury.  Besides  the  lack  of  competent  evidence 
of  values,  the  record  discloses  errors  in  the  admission  of  items  affecting 
the  expenses  for  maintenance  for  the  year  ending  September  30th,  1921, 
to  which  respondent  made  objection.  These  are:  Pro  rata  share  in 
Federal  and  State  taxes.  $3300.00 ;  rental  losses  estimated  at  $5864.50 ; 
telephone  service  at  $1250.00  ;  sundries,  $800.00 :  and  salaries  and  office 
expenses,  $10,000.00. 

The  items  of  Federal  and  State  taxes  refer  to  income  taxes.  Income 
tax  is  a  tax  on  profits  as  such.  We  are  here  merely  concerned  with 
determining  the  profits  to  which  the  landlord  is  entitled  upon  the  in- 
vestment in  the  two  buildings  under  consideration.  The  tribute  that  the 
landlord  must  pay  to  the  Government  by  reason  of  the  income  derived 
from  the  property  in  question  and  from  other  sources  may  not  be  foistetl 
upon  the  tenant.  The  tenant,  too.  is  expected  to  pay  taxes  to  the  Gov- 
ernment upon  his  income,  but  he  is  not  required  to  contribute  towards 
the  payment  of  the  landlord's  income  taxes.  As  to  the  item  of  rental 
losses,  the  case  Is  barren  of  any  proof  showing  the  experience  of  the 
plaintiff  with  respect  to  such  losses.  Rental  losses  would  be  a  proper 
charge  in  connection  with  the  expenses  for  operating  an  apartment 
building.  But  there  must  be  some  proof  offered  showing  the  past  ex- 
perience in  respect  of  such  losses,  upon  which  an  estimate  of  probable 
losses  in  the  future  may  be  fairly  made.  The  experience  of  rental  losses 
.!s  particularly  important  during  a  period  when  housing  facilities  were 
restricted.  Vacancies  would  necessarily  be  fewer  under  existing  housing 
conditions  than  during  a  normal  period.  In  the  absence  of  evidence  In 
'the  matter  of  vacancies  no  estimate  as  to  rental  losses  could  be  made  by 
the  Court,  and  that  item,  therefore,  must  be  eliminated  from  considera- 
tion. 

The  item  for  telephone  service  of  $1250.00  paid  to  the  Telephone  Com- 
pany, was  absolutely  unwarranted  for  the  reason  that  it  was  conceded  b? 
the  landlord  that  the  tenants  more  than  repaid  the  actual  money  paid  to 
tbu  Telephone  Company  for  the  yearly  service.  The  only  proper  charge 
;u    uoDCccttuL    xvltb    iflLphone   service    would    be    the   expense    incurred    by 


the  landlord  over  and  above  the  reimbursements  therefor  made  by  the 
tenants.  But  such  evidence  was  not  adduced  from  the  trial.  As  to  the 
item  of  $S00  for  sundries,  there  was  not  the  slightest  proof  as  to  what 
these  sundries  consisted  of.  The  item  of  $10,000  for  salaries  was  properly 
stricken  out  by  the  Court,  and  it  must  be  assumed  that  it  was  not  taken 
into   consideration   by  the  Trial   Court  as   an   item  of   expense. 

Among  the  "operating  expenses"  for  the  year  ending  September  30th, 
1920,  there  was  an  item  in  the  bill  of  particulars  for  "allowance  for 
depreciation"  of  $7944.00.  and  in  the  statement  of  "estimated  cost  of 
maintenance"  for  the  year  ending  September,  1921,  there  were  the  follow- 
ing two  items:  "2%  depreciation,  $6456.00;"  c^M  "1%  obsolescence, 
$3178.00." 

It  seems  to  us  that  "obsolescence"  was  not  allowable  in  the  case  of 
a  comparatively  new  fire-proof  apartment  building,  for  the  reason  that 
there  was  no  evidence  that  such  buildings  were  obsolete  or  were  be- 
coming obsolete  in  the  locality  in  which  they  were.  "Depreciation"  Is  a 
different  matter.  Such  an  allowance  would  be  proper ;  but  the  proof 
in  this  case  that  2%  is  a  proper  percentage  for  depreciation  was  not 
satisfactorily  established.  Thus  we  understand  that  the  Federal  Gov- 
ernment, in  the  enforcement  of  the  income  tax  law,  permits  an  annual 
loss  on  fire-proof  apartment  buildings  to  the  extent  of  l^o-  The  percent- 
age allowable  upon  a  fire-proof  building  assuredly  should  be  less  than 
upon    an    ordinary    brick    and   masonry    building. 

As  heretofore  mentioned,  the  estimated  cost  of  maintenance  from  Oc- 
tober 1st,  1920,  to  September  30th,  1921,  was  $87,976.00,  from  which  should 
be  deducted  the  items  which  we  have  criticized  and  disallowed,  aggregat- 
ing about  .$26,000,  as  also  the  item  of  interest  on  mortgage,  amounting 
to  $10,450,  thus  making  the  estimated  cost  of  maintenance  the  sum  of 
$51,506.00. 

The  judgment  appeal  from  fixes  the  amount  of  the  defendant's  rent 
in  the  instant  case  at  $475  for  three  months,  which  is  equal  to  an  annual 
rental  of  $1900.  The  annual  rentals  thus  adjudged  in  the  other  fifteen 
actions  are  $1000  for  the  "pent  house,"  $1800  for  the  five-room  apart- 
ment occupied  by  the  defendant  Lichtenstein,  and  from  $2000  to  $2300 
for  each  of  the  remaining  twelve  occupancies  of  six  rooms.  The  ad- 
judged rentals  of  the  sixteen  apartments  aggregate  $33,000,  or  an  average 
of  .$2100  for  each  apartment.  The  evidence  is  that  there  are  55  apart- 
ments in  the  two  buildings  consisting  in  all  of  326  room^.  At  an 
average  rental  of  $2100  per  apartment,  the  55  apartments  would  yield 
an  annual  gross  rental  of  $115,500.  Deducting  from  that  figure  the  sum 
of  $51,506,  the  established  cost  of  maintenance,  we  find  an  annual 
profit  of  $6", 994.  If  the  value  of  the  property  be  assumed  to  be  $800,- 
000,  it  would  show  substantially  an  8%  return.  But,  as  pointed  out, 
the  evidence  does  not  warrant  any  such  valuation.  Eliminating  the  in- 
competent evidence,  a  valuation  of  more  than  $523,250,  the  cost  of  the 
property  in  1913  would  not  be  justified.  Even  a  lower  valuation  might 
be  found,  if  we  take  into  account  the  1921  assessed  valuation  of  $450,000 
on  both  properties. 

In  this  connection  we  would  state  that,  in  our  opinion,  in 
cases  of  this  kind,  the  rental  should  be  based  upon  the  fair 
percentage  of  profits  upon  the  fair  valuation  of  the  premises 
as  though  they  were  unencumbered  by  mortgages.  It  is  true 
that  upon  that  basis  an  owner  of  the  equity  therein  would 
apparently  receive  a  higher  return  upon  his  investment  than 
the  owner  of  an  unencumbered  fee.  But  so  far  as  the  tenants 
are  concerned,  the  adoption  of  the  methods  of  calculation  based 
upon  an  unencumbered  fee  valuation  would  result  in  the  estab- 
lishment of  a  fairly  uniform  scale  of  rentals  of  similar  proper- 
ties, and  it  would  at  the  same  time  obviate  the  necessity  of 
determining,  in  case  of  ownership  of  mortgaged  premises,  the 
cost  of  procuring  loans,  brokers*  commissions  and  other  charge 
and  simplify  the  trial  of  this  class  of  actions.  We  also  think 
it  might  not  be  amiss  to  express  our  views  as  to  what  would  be 
a  fair  percentage  of  return  on  the  fair  value  of  the  property 
under  existing  conditions.  What  such  a  percentage  should  be 
is  not  readily  determinable.  It  would  necessarily  vary  with 
market  fluctuations  of  the  rates  of  interest  or  returns  on 
other  classes  of  investments.  There  is  however  a  limit  which 
we  believe  impartial  thinkers  will  agree  should  not  be  exceeded, 
giving  due  heed  to  prevailing  financial  and  industrial  condi- 
tions. It  seems  to  us  that  the  fair  net  return  on  the  valuation 
of  unencumbered  properties  under  existing  circumstances 
should  be  8  per  cent. 

Upon  the  basis  of  an  8%  return  upon  an  unencumbered  fee 
valuation  of  the  property  at  $523,250,  the  landlord,  upon  the 
proofs  in  the  instant  case,  would  be  entitled  for  the  year  end- 
ing September  30th,  1921,  to  a  net  income  of  $42,580.  To  secure 
such  a  net  income,  the  gross  rentals  must  aggregate  $94,086, 
which  is  reached  by  adding  the  desired  net  income  of  $42,580, 
the  estimated  cost  of  maintenance  of  $51,506.  Dividing  the 
figure  $94,086  by  55,  the  total  number  of  apartments  in  both 
buildings,  we  obtain  an  average  rental  of  $1,700  per  year.  We 
have  merely  made  the  foregoing  demonstration  upon  the  admis- 
sible evidence  for  the  purpose  of  establishing  that  the  judg- 
ments appeals  from  were  not  justified.  In  our  opinion  the 
judgments  were  properly  reversed. 

The  determination  of  the  Appellate  Term  must  be  aflfirmed 
with  costs,  the  court  held,  and  judgment  absolute  rendered 
aj;ainst   \hc   [ilaiiitiiT  tipon   it?   stipulation,   with   costs.

Weak  Spots  Exposed  in  Lockwood  Insurance  Loan  Bill 

Real  Estate  Boaid  of  New  York  Point  Out  to  Legislature  Dangerous  Features  of 
Ambiguous  Measure  Which  Imperils  Interests  of  Policyholders 


THE  Real  Estate  Board  of  New  York  has  sent  to  the 
Joint  Legislative  Committee  on  Housing  at  Albany 
criticisms  and  suggestions  relative  to  the  bill  which  pro- 
poses to  amend  the  Insurance  Law  by  extending  the  powers 
of  insurance  companies  to  permit  "every  life  insurance  cor- 
poration, foreign  or  domestic,"  which  does  business  in  the 
State,  to  go  into  the  building  business,  in  all  that  that  implies, 
limiting,  however,  this  novel  extension  of  authority  to  the 
building  of  dwellings  and  apartment  houses;  and  limiting  the 
"investment"  in  these  enterprises  to  10  per  cent,  of  the  total 
"admitted  assets"  of  such  corporations,  reported  to  the  Super- 
intendent of  Insurance  as  of  December  31,  1921.  The  memo- 
randum follows: 

"The  cost  of  the  land  acquired  as  sites  for  these  dwellings 
and  apartments  must  be  improved  in  order  to  be  allowed  as 
admitted  assets,  and  the  cost  of  the  buildings  so  provided  will 
not  be  so  allowed  unless  the  average  net  rental  value  of  such 
apartment,  tenement  or  other  dwelling  house  erected  thereon, 
as  estimated  at  the  commencement  of  construction,  be  nine 
dollars  or  less  per  room,  per  month.  These  new  powers 
granted  to  the  life  insurance  companies,  are  to  continue  until 
March  1,  1924,  and  so  long  thereatfer  as  the  emergency  in 
housing  *  *  *  shall  continue.  The  ostensible  purpose  of 
this  bill  is  to  increase  the  volume  of  housing  for  the  poorer 
"The  Real  Estate  Board  of  New  York  second  to  none  would 
welcome  an  increase  in  the  supply  of  housing  for  all  classes, 
at  rents  within  the  means  of  those  in  need  of  such  housing. 
The  Board  has  a  vital  interest  in  this  matter,  not  only  in  the 
abstract,  but  because  its  membership,  inclusive  of  property 
owners,  business,  commercial  and  industrial  concerns,  repre- 
sents a  large  employing  class,  who  appreciate  the  importance 
of  adequate,  sanitary  and  moderate-priced  housing  for  those  in 
their  employ,  as  well  as  other  conditions  of  living  which  make 
for  the  health,  welfare  and  morals  of  those  in  moderate  and 
poorer  circumstances.  It  therefore  owes  a  duty  to  its  mem- 
bers and  to  the  whole  community  to  scrutinize  all  measures 
affecting  the  housing  situation,  and  weigh  equally  the  merits 
and  defects  of  such  measures. 

"The  Real  Estate  Board  of  New  York  has  a  further  interest 
in  this  bill  because  its  membership  includes  a  great  number 
who  are  policy-holders  in  the  life  insurance  companies.  For 
these    reasons    the    Board    presents    the    following   analysis    of 

"This  bill,  like  others  introduced  by  the  Joint  Legislative  Housing 
Committee  during  1920  and  1921.  is  predicated  on  a  'housing  emergency.' 
The  Real  Estate  Board  is  convinced,  and  has  stated  to  the  Joint  Legis- 
lative Housing  Committee,  that  whatever  color  may  have  been  lent  to 
the  claim  two  years  ago  that  a  housing  'emergency'  existed  has  long 
since  faded ;  that  an  almost  unprecedented  amount  of  housing  con- 
struction in  1921  has  converted  a  temporary  shortage  of  housing  into  an 
almost  sufficient  amount  of  housing,  though  this  has  been  produced  at 
costs    which    the    average    wage-earner    cannot    meet. 

"The  business  of  producing  housing  is  highly  speculative.  In  normal 
times  it  is  surrounded  by  a  degree  of  risk  which  Individual  builders, 
or  private  corporations,  have  to  assume.  Errors  of  Judgment,  changes 
In  market  conditions,  overproduction  and  so  forth  all  lay  speculative 
builders   open   to   the   hazard   of   financial    loss. 


"All  this  is  beyond  question.  The  history  of  speculative  building  in 
this  city  makes  clear  the  fact  that  this  form  of  enterprise  is  frequently 
disastrous  to  those  who  take  the  initial  step  in  producing  housing,  namely, 
speculative  builders.  It  is  now  proposed  to  permit  the  life  insurance 
companies  to  embark  upon  an  enterprise  of  this  character,  entailing  the 
use  virtually,  tor  speculative  purposes,  of  millions  of  dollars  of  the 
savings  of  the  poor  and  thrifty,  entrusted  to  these  companies  for  the 
benefit  of  widows  and  orplians  against  the  time  of  the  decease  of  the 
breadwinner.  Is  there  not  grave  reason  to  think  that  the  Legislature 
v/ould   be  acting   unwisely    in    granting   this   authority? 

"In  the  past  it  has  been  not  uncommon  for  these  fiduciary  corpora- 
tions to  be  compelled,  through  errors  in  judgment  or  for  other  reasons, 
to  foreclose  on  property  upon  which  they  have  made  loans  and  to  carry 
these  properties  on  their  books  and  sometimes  to  dispose  of  them  at  a 
loss.  In  any  event,  they  have  not  willingly  continued  to  hold  assets  ot 
this  character.  So  sacred  has  the  Legislature  considered  the  trust 
placed  in  these  institutions  that  it  has  prohibited  their  investing  them 
in  stocks  and  even  in  real  estate,  restricting  such  securities  to  certain 
specified  investments,  among  them  mortgages  upon  real  estate.  Their 
real  estate  holdings  are  confined  exclusively  to  such  buildings  as  may 
he  needed  in  the  administration   of  their  business  as  insurers. 

"It  is  now  proposed  to  remove  these  wise  restrictions.  And  while  no 
one  would  question  the  conduct  of  these  corporations  under  existing  man- 
agement, this  high  standard  of  efficiency  or  probity  is  not  necessarily 
guaranteed  for  all  time,  nor  even  for  so  long  a  time  as  the  Legislature 
might  consider  that   'an   emergency'   existed. 

"Practical  builders,  and  those  having  other  than  a  theoretical  knowl- 
edge of  the  housing  situation,  are  aware  that  the  crux  of  the  matter 
is  not  luck  of  housing,  but  inability  to  produce  housing  at  rents  which 
the  wage-earner  and  others  of  moderate  means  can  afford  to  pay  ;  and 
that  the  main  reason  for  this  condition  is  the  fact  that  wages  of  labor 
in  the  building  industry  remain  at  war-time  levels,  while  the  income  of 
wage-earners   generally    are    declining. 

"The  proposed  bill,"  the  memorandum  continues,  "makes  it 
incumbent  upon  the  insurance  companies  to  produce  housing 
at  an  average  net  rental  value  of  $9  or  less  per  room  per  month, 
and  this  on  a  bare  estimate  of  cost  at  the  time  of  commence- 
ment of  construction.  But  what  is  an  average  net  rental 
value?  To  whom  is  it  net?  How  much  is  net?  Does  it  mean 
that  this  is  to  be  net  after  all  operating  and  maintenance 
charges  are  deducted?  Does  it  mean  that  the  net  rent  to  the 
tenant  shall  be  $9  per  room  p'sr  month? 

"If  it  is  net  to  the  tenant,  it  is  difficult  to  see  how  such  housing  ia 
to  be  produced  without  assuming  philanthropic  aid  indirectly  from  the 
insurance  companies  but  actually  from  their  policy-holders.  And  If, 
in  any  event,  the  plan  in  practice  should  prove  a  failure,  the  unsuccess- 
ful lands  and  houses  would  be  among  the  'not  admitted'  assets  of  the 
companies    involved. 

"If  it  is  net  to  the  insurance  company  or  the  owner,  it  assumes,  first, 
a  gross  rent  including  all  of  the  cost  of  maintenance  and  operation  ;  In 
which  case  it  is  difficult  to  see  how  this  will  benefit  the  classes  the  plan 
is  devised  to  benefit.  Loans  made  recently  by  insurance  companies  to 
builders  of  housing  have  been  on  a  basis  of  approximately  50%,  or  less, 
of  value  at  present  cost  of  construction,  and  they  have  also  required 
amortization  on  a  basis  of  2%  to  4%  per  annum.  Both  of  these  require- 
ments have  been  to  safeguard  the  interests  of  the  policy  holders.  To 
what  extent  has  the  proposed  plan  taken  this  point  into  consideration? 

"If  now,  in  any  event,  the  life  insurance  companies  embark  on  a  plan 
involving  the  keenest  competition  with  their  own  mortgages,  will  it  not 
have  two  obvious  results,  namely — 1.  To  jeopardize  their  own  loaned 
funds  ;  (2)  To  discourage  those  planning  to  provide  housing  and  thereby 
to  prevent  the  construction  of,  let  ua  say,  ten  houses  that  might  have 
been  built  privately  for  every  one  that  would  be  built  under  the  pro- 
posed   plan  ? 

"Aside  from  the  foregoing,  the  bill,  as  drawn,  is  ambiguous 

in  its  terms.     It  does  not  seem  to  the  Real  Estate  Board  of 

New  York  to  be  sufficiently  clear  in  its  language,  or  specific  in 

its  provisions,  to  meet  the  requirements  of  a  plan  involving  so 

radical    a   departure    from    the   existing   safeguards    heretofore 

considered  necessary  to  be  thrown  around  the  use  of  the  funds 

entrusted  to  the  safe-keeping  of  life  insurance  companies." 


Interesting  Program  at  Monthly  Meeting  of  Building  Managers 


THE  regular  monthly  dinner  meeting  of  the  Building 
Managers'  and  Owners'  Association,  held  at  the  Ad- 
vertising Club,  Tuesday  evening,  February  14,  although 
not  so  well  attended  as  the  January  meeting,  was  most  in- 
teresting. The  speaker  of  the  evening  was  Clarence  H.  Fay, 
former  Commissioner  of  Public  Works,  and  he  gave  some 
excellent  advice  and  suggestions  on  the  subject  of  co-operation 
with  the  city  government. 

Several  committee  reports  were  read  which  indicated  not  only 
the  activities  of  the  association  but  the  intense  interest  that 
each  committee  is  taking  in  its  work,  and  showed  also  that  the 
men  chosen  to  carry  on  the  activities  of  the  association  for  the 
coming  year  were  wisely  selected. 

After   the    routine   business    of   the    evening   was    concluded 


William  C.  McTarnahan,  second  vice-president  of  the  Petroleum 
Heat  &  Power  Company,  delivered  an  interesting  lecture  on 
"Fuel  Oil."  This  lecture  outlined  the  process  of  using  oil  for 
heat  and  power  in  commercial  buildings  and  also  described  the 
equipment  required  and  its  cost  as  compared  with  coal. 


Although  the  amount  and  value  of  1921  exports  were  below 
figures  for  the  preceding  two  years  they  were  in  general  far 
above  pre-war  averages.  According  to  a  study  made  by  the 
foreign  commerce  department  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  of 
the  United  States,  out  of  twenty  principal  exports  only  five 
show  a  decline,  as  measured  in  value,  during  the  January  to 
September  period  over  the  same  nine  months  of  1909-1913.

Review  of  Real   Estate   Market  for  the  Current  Week 

The  Bronx  Maintained  a  Steady  Sale  of  Plots  and  Apartment  Houses,  While 
Manhattan  Buyers  Absorbed  a  Variety  of  Properties 


THIS  was  not  a  spectacular  week  in  real  estate.  There 
was  a  steady  drift  toward  a  good  total  business,  in- 
volving fair-sized  properties  in  Manhattan  and  the 
Bronx,  with  one  or  two  exceptions  that  proved  the  rule.  A 
tract  of  6S  lots  in  the  Bronx  held  in  one  family  for  three  genera- 
tions was  sold  to  a  builder  for  improvement  with  high-class 
apartment  houses.  Several  other  plots  not  so  large,  but  larger 
than  ordinary,  also  changed  hands  there,  for  improvement 
along  similar  lines.  Another  feature  of  the  Bronx  market 
was  the  sale  of  numerous  newly-finished  apartment  houses  to 
investors. 

Two  important  transactions  recorded  during  the  week  were 
the  sale  of  the  Pathe  Exchange,  a  13-story  loft  building  in 
West  4Sth  street,  and  a  12-story  loft  building  in  West  36th 
street,  the  latter  to  the  tenant.  Both  parcels  are  within  half 
a  block  of  Fifth  avenue.  The  last-mentioned  property  was 
bought  by  a  prominent  furniture  firm  which  until  a  few  years 
ago  was  near  the  old  Eden  Musee  property  on  West  23d  street. 
Following  the  farther-north  movement,  this  firm  has  found  its 
final  bearings  for  some  time  to  come  and  has  bought  the  prop- 


erty it  leased  when  it  first  tried  out  the  Fifth  avenue  section. 
The  two  sales  total  about  $1,250,000. 

The  selling  of  all  kinds  of  multi-family  houses  still  continues 
steady.  Medium-sized  elevator  apartment-houses  are  in  good 
demand.  Many  of  the  latter  type  in  the  northern  reaches  of 
Manhattan  are  changing  hands.  The  tendency  for  business, 
both  retail  and  wholesale,  to  creep  into  Harlem  neighborhoods, 
more  and  more,  is  reflected  in  some  of  the  sales  made  during 
this  week,  and  during  several  weeks  last  past. 

The  Strand  Chop  House,  which  recently  took  a  profit  on 
the  sale  of  its  old  quarters  at  224-226  West  47th  street,  has 
shown  its  intention  of  sticking  to  its  old  neighborhood  by 
buying  the  property  156-158  West  48th  street,  adjoining  the 
Vanderbilt  Theatre,  which  it  will  improve.  Several  medium- 
sized  business  holdings   throughout  the  city  changed  hands. 

Some  interesting  leases  were  effected  during  the  week,  not- 
ably a  floor  in  the  Heckscher  building,  a  half  floor  or  more 
in  the  Liggett  building,  and  several  large  commercial  leases 
farther  south  in  Manhattan.  A  long  leasehold  in  the  Bronx 
was  a  strong  feature  of  the  market. 


PRIVATE  REALTY  SALES. 


THE  total  number  of  sales  reported,  but  not 
recorded  in  Manhattan  this  week,  was  76, 
as  against  101  last  week  and  75  a  year  ago. 

The  number  of  sales  south  of  59th  st  was  18, 
as  compared  with  31  last  week  and  23  a  year 
ago. 

The  number  of  sales  north  of  59th  st  was  58, 
as  compared  with  70  last  week  and  52  a  year 
ago. 

From  the  Bronx  44  sales  at  private  contract 
were  reported,  as  against  33  last  week  and  8 
a  year  ago. 

Statistical  tables,  including  the  number  of  re- 
corded instruments,  will  be   found  on  page  244. 


Report   of    Register   Annie    Mathews 

Register  Annie  Mathews  has  made  public  the 
annual  report  of  the  Register's  Office  for  1921. 
prepared  from  figures  collected  under  the  direc- 
tion of  her  predecessor.  County  Clerk  James  A. 
Donegau.  The  financial  receipts  and  the  number 
of  real  estate  transfers  and  mortgages  show  a 
decrease  from  lOi^O,  which  was  a  record  year  in 
the  recording  offices  of  New  York  City,  but  in- 
dicate a  considerable  advance  over  the  figures 
for  years  preceeding  1920.  The  main  items  of 
the   report    are  :

The  revenues  of  the  office  from  statutory  fees 
In  1!121  were  $221,903.70,  as  compared  with 
$242,489.95  in  1920,  and  a  yearly  average  of 
$119,241.73  for  the  five  years  preceding  1920. 

The  receipts  from  taxes  collected  by  the  Mort- 
gage Tax  Bureau  in  1921  were  $1,511,771.76. 
Receipts  from  the  same  source  were  $1,782,- 
135.37  in  1920  and  the  yearly  average  receipts 
from  1915  to   1919  were   $808,357.87. 

The  expenses  of  the  Register's  Office  in  1021 
were  .$311.n.'JS.35.  The  cost  of  maintaining  the 
office  in  1920  was  $246,415.43,  while  the  average 
yearly  expenses  for  the  five  years  preceding 
1920  were   $247,875.89. 

Register  Mathews  also  reports  that  the  num- 
ber of  real  estate  instruments  recorded  in  Jan- 
uary of  the  present  year  greatly  exceeds  that  of 
January,  1921,  and  unusual  activity  In  real 
estate  is  indicated  by  the  Increased  number  of 
transfers. 

Conserving  Yacht  Club  Property 

In  order  to  enable  the  Atlantic  Yacht  Club  at 
Sea  Gate,  Brooklyn,  to  pay  oft  Its  obligations  and 
to  permit  the  members  to  obtain  a  share  of  the 
stock  in  the  valuable  property,  the  trustees  have 
originated  a  plan  whereby  the  real  estate  will  be 


vested  in  the  Atlantic  Realty  Corporation,  capi- 
talized at  $250,000.  A  share  of  stock  will  be 
presented  to  each  member  and,  in  additon,  a 
limited  amount  of  stock  will  be  sold  to  each  one. 
The  club  will  continue  to  use  the  property  under 
lease  from  the  realty  company  and  will  pay  the 
actual  carrying  charges  and  6  per  cent,  on  the 
realty  company's  stock. 

The  club  was  organized  in  1866  and  is  one  of 
the  oldest  in  the  country.  Its  club  house, 
grounds  and  anchorage  are  favorably  known  to 
all  yachtsmen.  Sir  Thomas  Lipton  has  always 
made  his  headquarters  there  during  the  cup 
races.

Samuel  Kronsky  tor  the  Glenalla  Realty  Co. 
Conrad  Hubert,  president.  The  property  was 
held  at  $600,000.  The  sale  is  regarded  as  an 
indication  that  the  furniture  trade  is  safely 
anchored  in  the  shopping  district  to  the  west 
of   Fifth   av  in  the  vicinity   of   34th   st.

A  Car  Bam  Sold  at  Auction 

The  car  barn  property  of  the  New  York 
L'ity  Railways  Co.  on  the  west  side  of  Madison 
av,  between  Soth  and  SGth  sts,  was  purchased 
at  auction  on  February  la,  by  M.  Turner  Brock- 
way  through  his  attorney,  C.  P.  Northrop  of 
31  Nassau  st,  tor  $925,000.  Mr.  Brockway, 
through  Mr,  Northrop,  announced  that  he  in- 
tends to  improve  the  plot  with  a  high  class 
family  hotel  at  a  cost  of  about  $3,000,000. 
The  site  has  a  frontage  of  204.4  feet  on  Madi- 
son av  and  120  feet  on  each  of  the  side  streets. 
According  to  the  recent  action  of  the  Board  of 
Estimate  in  amending  the  Fifth  av  zoning  dis- 
trict, 20  feet  of  the  western  portion  of  the 
plot  cannot  be  improved  with  a  building  more 
than   75    feet,    or   about   7   stories    in    height. 

The  sale  was  conducted  by  Joseph  P.  Day 
in  the  County  Court  House  at  11  o'clock  for 
Nathaniel  A.  Elsberg,  special  master  for  the 
receiver  of  the  New  York  City  Railways  Co. 
Before  bidding  on  the  property  Mr.  Northrop 
inquired  of  Mr.  Day  whether  the  site  would  be 
sold  subject  to  the  Fifth  av  zoning  regulations. 
The  auctioneer  replied  that  it  would  be  sold 
subject  to  the  zoning  laws  and  any  other  laws 
affecting  the  premises.  Mr.  Northrop,  after 
making  the  highest  bid,  deposited  $45,000  in 
certified  checks  and  $1,230  in  cash  to  guaran- 
tee the  purchase,  which  is  subject  to  the  ap- 
proval   of    the    United    States    District    Court. 

Before  the  plot  was  offered  in  one  parcel  it 
was  offered  in  four,  the  total  high  bids  aggre- 
gating $760,000.  It  was  then  offered  again 
in  four  parcels  differently  arranged  as  to 
boundaries  and  the  bids  for  two  of  them  in- 
dicated a  boost  of  $10,000.  The  remaining  two 
parcels,  however,  were  not  bid  for  at  all  un- 
der   this    arrangement. 

The  bid  ottered  by  Mr.  Northrop,  being  so 
largely  in  excess  of  the  other  bids,  was  ac- 
cepted provisionally  by  Nathaniel  A.  Elsberg, 
who  was  recently  appointed  special  master  in 
place  of  the  late  ex-Justice  Francis  M.  Scott. 
The  certified  checks  of  the  parcel  bidders  were 
returned  to   them. 

It  was  then  announced  by  Alexander  Ress- 
ner, for  Mr.  Day,  that  it  for  any  reason  the 
sales  should  be  set  aside  by  the  United  States 
court  the  property  will  be  reoffered  on  the  steps 
of  the  County  Court  House  on  March  16,  when 
the  sale  of  the  property  of  the  railroad  com- 
pany on  33d  St,  between  Lexington  and  Fourth 
avs.  will  be  held. 

The  sale  took  place  in  connection  with  the 
receivership  proceedings  instituted  by  the 
Guaranty  Trust  Co.  as  trustee  and  the  Amer- 
ican Brake  Shoe  &  Foundry  Co.  of  New 
York  of  which  Job  E.  Hedges  was  appointed 
receiver.  Stetson,  Jennings  &.  Russell  are  at- 
torneys  for  the  Guaranty   Trust  Co.

ton, is  reported  to  be  the  actual  buyer  of  the  car

New  Offices  of  Spear  &  Co. 

Spear  &  Co.  have  opened  a  new  real  estate 
office  at  12tll  Broadway,  where  they  have  taken 
the  second  floor  in  the  Martin  Building,  at  the 
northeast  corner  ot  31st  st.  A  sales  and  renting 
department,  with  15  brokers,  will  have  offices 
here  in  addition  to  the  industrial,  insurance  and 
publicity  departments. 

When  Spear  4i  Co.  opened  their  first  office  in  a 
small  room  at  63  Bleecker  st  in  1U05,  that 
neighborhood  was  the  centre  o£  the  fur  district.

lease  closed  by  the  firm,  which  transferred  a 
large  cloak  and  suit  firm  from  Division  st  to 
Tenth  St.  placed  the  latter  flrui  at  tne  extreme 
northern  limits  ot  the  cloak  and  suit  district.  In 
1808  the  office  of  the  Arm  was  moved  to  Broad- 
way and  Washington  pi,  which  was  then  the 
centre  ot  the  cloak  and  suit  district.  In  1S)14

840  Broadway. 

When  the  move  was  made  to  840  Broadway, 
the  organization  numbered  eighteen.  The 
growth  of  the  staff  to  its  present  size  of  48  per- 
sons and  the  increase  of  business  north  of  23d 
Bt  led  to  the  establishment  of  the  present  office 
at  31st  St.  The  office  at  840  Broadway  is  main- 
tained.

Better  Light, 
Better  Production 


Uniy  an  increase  in  the  productiveness  of  machinery  and  of 
employees,  it  is  commonly  admitted,  will  bring  about  normalcy 
in  prices  and  in  trade.  Maximum  efficiency  is  needed.  Maxi- 
mum efficiency  must  be  attained.  The  general  public  demands 
to  share  in  the  benefits  that  will   result  therefrom. 

The  methods  employed  in  getting  that  maximum  may  vary 
widely  with  different  businesses,  excepting  only  in  the  proper 
use  of  light.  Experience  has  proven  that  good  light  in  any 
industry  can  raise  production  more  than  enough  to  pay  the 
cost.  But  not  that  alone.  In  many  instances  production  has 
been  increased  from  10  to  30  per  cent,  at  a  cost  of  from  1.9  to 
5.5  per  cent,  of  the  pay  roll. 

The  how  and  the  why  of  all  this  is  not  a  secret.  The  ex- 
planations and  reasons  given  by  the  lighting  engineer  are  as 
simple   as   they   are  logical. 

Daylight  illumination  in  well  lighted  factories  usually  ranges 
from  10  to  25  foot-candles  and  near  windows,  often  from  50 
to  200  foot-candles.  Yet  in  artificial  lighting,  most  factories 
employ  an  intensity  of  only  3  or  4  foot-candles.  The  eye, 
aidjusted  by  nature  to  daylight,  cannot  maintain  maximum  pro- 
duction under  such  a  disparity  in  light  intensities. 

Accidents  resulting  from  eye  fatigue,  shadows  and  glare  often 
prove  serious  and  costly.  Spoilage  and  inaccuracy,  due  to  im- 
proper lighting,  cause  irretrievable  and  substantial  losses.  La- 
bor turnover  and  discontentedness,  too,  is  often  only  the  effect 
of   "lighting   neglect." 

Give  a  serious  thought  to  Better  Lighting.  Plant,  factory 
and  office  productiveness  cannot  reach  its  maximum  point  of 
efficiency  until  you  do. 


Our  representatives  will  be  glad  to  make  a  scientific 
Foot-Canjle  Meter  Survey  of  your  premises  and 
suggest  lighting  improvements,  if  they  are  found  to 
be    necessary,    ivithout    cost    or    obligation    to    you.

REAL  ESTATE  NOTES. 


HERMAN  A.  LEWINE,  of  Lewine  &  Co., 
Inc.,  has  been  elected  an  active  member  of 
the  Real  Estate  Board  of   New  York. 

W.  D.  AHRENS.  formerly  with  Slawson  & 
Hobbs.  has  formed  a  company  under  the  name 
of  W.  D.  Ahrens  &  Co..  with  an  office  at  3210 
Third  av. 

R.  E.  LEIGH,  who  was  associated  with  the 
Charles  F.  Noyes  Co.  for  a  period  of  years,  has 
become  associated  with  Charles  B.  Van  Valen, 
Inc. 

HERBERT  McLEAN  PURDY  &  CO.  is  a 
new  firm  of  general  real  estate  brokers  and 
managers  that  lias  opened  an  office  at  25  West 
43d  St.  They  were  formerly  with  William  A. 
White  &    Sons. 

THE  PETITION  of  many  residents  of  Cla- 
flin  av.  Bronx,  to  extend  that  thoroughfare  to 
KingsbriUge  rd,  heard  by  the  local  board,  has 
been  denied  on  opposition  by  Herman  A.  Brand, 
attorney,    representing    the    Paragon    Construc- 


RECORD    AND    GUIDE 

tion  Co.,  which  recently  bought  169  feet  on 
Kingsbridge   rd. 

FOR  THE  PURPOSE  of  changing  the  control  ot 
ownership  of  147-149  West  57th  st,  a  5-sty  brick 
building  and  a  4-sty  and  basement  brick  build- 
ing, respectively,  and  each  containing  stores,  a 
special  meeting  of  the  stockholders  and  direc- 
tors of  the  company  owning  the  parcels  was 
recently  held  and  the  ownership  was  vested  in 
Max  Marz. 

PEASE  &  ELLIMAN  have  been  appointed  by 
J.  E.  R.  Carpenter,  owner  and  architect,  rent- 
ing agents  of  the  new  13-sty  apartment  bouse 
now  being  erected  on  the  southeast  corner  of 
Fifth  av  and  72d  st.  The  house  will  have  apart- 
ments of  11  and  12  rooms  and  4  baths,  with  one 
of  each  size  on  a  floor.  Those  on  the  12th  and 
l.'jth  floors  will  be  duplex  apartments  of  12  rooms 
rach  with  a  private  roof  garden.  In  this  house, 
a  definite  attempt  will  be  made  to  erect  the  finest 
constructed  building  on  Fifth  av,  without  excep- 
tion. Mr.  Carpenter  built  the  famous  907  Fifth 
Avenue,  corner  of  72d  st,  which  took  an  archi- 
teLts  prize,  but  it  is  expected  that  this  new 
house,  which  will  be  known  as  :j20  Fifth  av,  will 
be  a  still  finer  structure.

BUILDING     SECTION 


Modern  Methods  of  Building  Construction  Are  Outlined 

Arthur  S.  Lukach,  Engineer,  Discussed  Problems  and  Relative  Costs  at  Y.  M.  C.  A. 

Lecture  Course  for  Real  Estate  Interests 

ARTHUR  S.  LUKACH,  engineer  of  the  George  Backer 
Construction  Company,  was  the  speaker  last  Tuesday 
evening  in  the  lecture  course  on  real  estate  and  allied 
subjects  being  held  at  the  West  Side  Branch  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A. 
Mr.  Lukach  had  for  his  subject  "Modern  Building  Construc- 
tion," and  in  his  talk  he  outlined  the  various  steps  involved  in 
erecting  modern  structures  and  included  a  description  of  the 
more  common  problems  met  with  and  their  methods  of  solu- 
tion. Although  his  subject  was  highly  technical  in  character 
his  presentation  of  the  facts  was  interesting  and  instructive 
to  all.  Major  S.  Fullerton  Weaver,  prominently  identified 
with  the  development  of  Park  Avenue  along  modern  multi- 
family   housing  lines,  presided  at  this  lecture. 

"Modern  building  construction  seems  to  hold  an  almost 
universal  appeal  for  men  and  women  of  all  classes  and  occu- 
pation," said  Mr.  Lukach.  "Whether  it  is  the  almost  human 
steam  shovel  removing  huge  portions  of  earth  at  the  be- 
ginning of  a  job,  or  the  steady  climb  skyward  of  column  on 
column,  the  appeal  is  there,  as  evidenced  by  the  interested 
street  audience,  row  on  row,  who  completely  surround  the 
structure  during  its  early  stage. 

"If  the  next  time  you  gentlemen  watch  a  modern  building 
in  the  course  of  construction,  because  of  this  lecture  you  are 
able  to  understand  the  why  and  wherefore  of  the  various 
operations,  or  the  place  that  the  different  materials  occupy  in 
the  completed  structure,  I  shall  feel  more  than  repaid  for  my 
efifort  this  evening." 

Mr.  Lukach  then  gave  a  description  of  the  various  im- 
portant steps  that  must  be  taken  before  a  building  operation 
is  actually  started.  The  survey  of  the  site,  the  usual  alternate 
bids  for  excavating  both  earth  and  rock,  with  frequent  refer- 
ences to  unit  costs,  were  the  subjects  treated  in  that  part  of 
the  lecture  which  preceded  his  remarks  on  the  problems  of 
building.  The  speaker's  description  of  the  usual  methods  em- 
ployed in  substructure  work  for  large  buildings  compared  the 
open-pit  with  the  one  in  which  steel  and  concerte  piles  is  used. 
Interesting  facts  and  figures  were  quoted  as  well  as  instances 
in  which  these  methods  were  employed  successfully  in  re- 
cently constructed  buildings. 

Following  the  course  of  an  ordinary  building  operation 
through  its  various  physical  stages  Mr.  Lukach  described  the 
erection  of  the  structural  steel  framework  and  the  enclosure 
of  the  building  with  curtain  walls  of  brick  or  other  materials 
and  outlined  the  manner  in  which  the  various  elements  are 
interwoven  and  tied  together  in  order  to  create  a  beautiful 
and  safe  structure.  Safe  fioor  loads,  factors  of  safety,  and 
other  important  engineering  considerations  were  brought  out 
and  the  speaker  also  gave  considerable  data  as  to  cost  and 
volume  of  steel  and  other  materials  consumed  in  the  con- 
struction of  several  prominent  buildings  erected  during  the 
past  year  or  so. 


"The  remarkable  feature  of  modern  construction,"  said  Mr.  Lukacii,  "'^ 
the  speed  with  which  oven  the  largest  buildings  are  erected.  Owners  to- 
day demand  that  a  structure  be  tenantable  at  the  earliest  possible 
moment,  cnmraensurate  with  good  workmanship  and  a  minimum  of 
overtime.  The  result  has  been  an  effort  on  the  part  of  experienced 
builders  to  have  their  various  jobs  so  scheduled  and  planned  in  advance 
that  the  different  trades  step  in  at  exactly  the  right  moment  and  carry 
on  their  work  with  a  sufficient  quantity  of  men  and  material  until 
completion. 

"As   I    write  these   notes,   there  Is  a   picture  of  a   16  story   building   in 


the  course  of  construction  in  front  of  me.  The  brick  work  has  reached 
the  7th  floor,  the  concrete  floor  arches  are  up  to  the  11th  story  and  the 
steel  work  has  just  been  completed.  On  the  other  hand,  but  a  stone's 
throw  away,  a  building  over  10  stories  is  being  constructed.  In  spite 
of  the  fact  that  the  steel  and  floor  arches  are  complete,  the  brick  and 
stone  work  has  not  reached  the  2nd  floor  level. 

"Stairs  should  be  run  almost  simultaneously  with  the  structual  steel. 
The  plumbing  contractor  should  be  at  work  on  his  house  drains  and 
sewer  connections  while  the  foundations  are  still  being  prepared.  He 
follows  closely  on  the  heels  of  the  concrete  arch  contractor  In  running 
his  riser  lines.  .\s  soon  as  the  exterior  walls  enclose  a  floor,  elevator 
and  stairs  partitions  may  be  started.  In  cold  weather  the  immediate 
glazing  of  all  windows  just  as  soon  as  they  are  in  place  is  of  extreme 
importance.  At  least  one  of  the  house  elevators  and  perferably  two, 
should  be  put  into  operation  at  the  earliest  possible  moment,  so  that 
the  temporary  material  hoist  may  be  discontinued  and  the  holes  in  the 
floors  filled  in.  Architectural  terra  cotta  (artificial  stone)  should  be 
assorted  on  the  floors  where  it  is  to  be  used  and  the  individual  pieces 
laid  out  in  proper  sequence  according  to  the  setting  plan.  If  necessary 
it  is  preferably  that  this  work  be  done  on  overtime  rather  than  have  the 
bricklayer  stop  his  work  to  hunt  for  a  certain  piece.  At  the  Heckscher 
Building  alone  17.474  individual  pieces  of  architectual  terra  cotta  were 
set. 

"A  shortage  of  basic  materials  on  a  job,  such  as  cement, 
sand,  lime,  terra  cotta  block,  etc.,  except  in  rare  instances,  is 
generally  due  to  negligance  on  the  part  of  the  superintendent. 
The  orders  for  material  manufactured  out  of  town  should  be 
placed  well  in  advance  to  take  care  of  delays  in  transit.  Last 
minute  changes  in  plans  can  always  be  counted  upon  to  retard 
the  progress  of  a  job  and  it  is  therefore  advisable  that  all 
drawings  be  given  the  greatest  attention  before  work  has 
started. 

"For  rough  approximation,  the  cost  of  a  building  before  the 
plans  are  drawn,  can  be  determined  by  a  knowledge  of  the 
cost  per  cubic  foot  of  similar  buildings  that  have  been  erected. 
Thus  today,  apartment  buildings  would  average  50c  per  cu.  ft. 
while  loft  buildings  with  large  open  floors  would  run  in  the 
neighborhood   of  2Sc-30c. 

"While  a  general  knowledge  of  the  Building  Code  and  Tene- 
ment House  Laws  of  New  York  City  is  extremely  desirable  for 
those  engaged  in  the  real  estate  or  building  profession,  there 
are  certain  important  parts  in  both  which  should  be  familiar  to 
those  desiring  to  know  the  reason  either  for  the  use  of  various 
materials  or  certain   architectural   designs." 

A  brief  outline  of  the  principal  provisions  of  the  Tenement 
House  Law  was  given  by  Mr.  Lukach,  and  he  also  brought 
out  some  of  the  most  important  of  the  conditions  imposed  by 
the  Building  Code.  He  described  at  length  the  fireproofing 
requirements  in  both  tenements  and  commercial  structures, 
and  laid  considerable  stress  upon  the  provisions  for  safety 
from  the  fire  hazard  and  the  great  need  for  greater  care  in 
constructing  new  buildings  with  full  regard  for  the  safety 
and  comfort  of  those  who  will  occupy  them. 

"I  can  think  of  no  better  way  to  close  this  very  informal 
talk  than  to  leave  with  you  a  short  quotation  from  Ruskin," 
declared  the  lecturer,  "which  I  am  sure  would  serve  admirably 
as  a  motto  for  every  builder  who  holds  his  profession  in  high 
repute,  'When  we  build,  let  us  think  that  we  build  forever. 
Let  it  not  be  for  present  delight,  nor  for  present  use  alone. 
Let  it  be  such  work  as  our  descendants  will  thank  us  for,  and 
let  us  think,  as  we  lay  stone  on  stone,  that  a  time  is  to  come 
when  these  stones  will  be  held  sacred  because  our  hands  have 
touched  them,  and  that  men  will  say  as  they  look  upon  the 
labor  and  wrought  substance  of  them,  "See!  this  our  fathers 
did  for  us."' 

"If  builders  everywhere  would  take  this  quotation  to  heart, 
there  would  be  fewer  theatres  collapsing  in  various  sections 
of  our  country."

Annual  Meeting  of  Building  Trades  Employers'  Association 

Committee  Reports  Indicate  Organization  in  Flourishing  Condition — ^Walter  S. 

Faddis  Elected  President  for  Ensuing  Year 


THE  annual  meeting  of  the  Building  Trades  Employers' 
Association  was  held  Tuesday  afternoon,  February  21, 
at  the  association  headquarters,  30  West  Thirty-third 
Street.  President  Hugh  Getty  occupied  the  chair  and  called 
the  meeting  to  order  promptly  at  three  o'clock.  Nearly  one 
hundred  members  were  present. 

After  a  brief  opening  address  by  the  president.  Samuel  B. 
Donnelly,  executive  secretary,  read  the  minutes  of  the  last 
annual  meeting  which  were  accepted  and  ordered  filed.  The 
annual  reports  of  officers  and  standing  committees  followed. 
A.  J.  Rosenthal,  first  vice-president  and  chairman  of  the  House 
Committee  in  his  report  submitted  a  statement  of  the  business 
done  by  the  restaurant,  cigar  counter  and  billiard  room,  all  of 
which  showed  substantial  profits.  John  J.  Grace,  second  vice- 
president  and  chairman  of  the  Finance  Committee  reported  the 
association  in  excellent  position  financially  and  his  report  was 
confirmed  by  the  detailed  report  of  the  treasurer,  J.  O'Dell 
Whitenack,  which   followed. 

Samuel  B.  Donnelly,  in  his  report  analyzed  the  membership 
of  the  association  and  gave  a  summary  of  the  numerical 
strength  of  the  various  trade  organizations  comprising  the 
Building  Trades  Employers'  Association.  In  the  report  of  the 
Legislative  Committee,  Robert  Christie,  chairman,  told  of  the 
number  of  bills  scrutinized  by  the  committee  and  their  final 
disposition  by  the  Legislature. 

C.  G.  Norman,  chairman  of  the  Board  of  Governors,  in  his 
report  briefly  outlined  the  work  of  the  association  during  the 
past  year,  showed  what  had  been  accomplished  in  settling 
disputes  with  labor  through  mediation  and  arbitration  and  then 
spoke  of  the  building  prospects  for  the  coming  year.  The 
strike  of  the  painters,  as  well  as  other  difficulties  over  juris- 
dictional matters  were  disposed  of  without  great  loss  of  time 
and  at  the  close  of  the  year  the  employers  and  unions  were 
working   in    complete   harmony.     Mr.    Norman    spoke    also   of 


the  intolerable  conditions  imposed  by  the  Plasterers'  union 
and  the  efforts  being  made  to  bring  about  a  more  reasonable 
attitude  on  the  part  of  this  trade  which  is  not  affiliated  with 
the   Building  Trades'  Council. 

An  important  part  of  Mr.  Norman's  report  was  devoted  to 
the  survey  of  the  local  building  situation  recently  completed 
by  the  association.  Charts,  illustrating  in  graphic  style  the 
relation  of  building  trade  wages  to  living  costs  and  also  the 
record  by  months  of  the  plans  filed  in  the  New  York  City 
Bureau  of  Buildings.  These  charts  show  conclusively  that  in 
many  of  the  principal  trades  wages  are  entirely  out  of  line 
when  compared  with  other  costs  and  also  that  despite  the 
claims  to  the  contrary  there  is  actually  more  building  being 
done  today  than  there  was  in  the  pre-war  period. 

The  report  of  the  inspectors  of  election  was  called  for  after 
the  conclusion  of  Mr.  Norman's  report  and  the  Chair  formally 
announced  the  election  of  Walter  S.  Faddis,  president;  A.  J. 
Rosenthal,  first  vice-president;  John  J.  Grace,  second  vice- 
president  and  J.  O'Dell  Whitenack,  treasurer,  and  their  instal- 
lation immediately  followed. 

President  Faddis,  upon  assuming  the  chair,  delivered  a  brief 
address  in  which  he  spoke  of  general  conditions  in  the  build- 
ing industry  and  their  application  to  the  local  situation. 

Ronald  Taylor,  in  a  brief  but  gracious  address  told  of  the 
unstinted  eflfort  of  the  retiring  president,  Hugh  Getty,  in  behalf 
of  the  association,  and  of  the  high  esteem  and  love  in  which  he 
is  held  by  the  members  and  called  for  a  rising  vote  of  thanks 
which  was  carried  unanimously  after  which  Mr.  Getty  briefly 
responded. 

Prior  to  adjournment  President  Faddis  called  upon  Otto  M. 
Eidlitz  for  a  few  words  and  he  responded  with  a  brief  outline 
of  conditions  in  the  industry  necessary  to  guard  against  and 
closed  with  some  really  optimistic  predictions  regarding  the 
future. 

The   meeting  adjourned  at  5   p.  m. 


Ball  of  the  Fine  Arts  a  Magnificent  Success 


THE  Ball  of  the  Fine  Arts,  which  was  given  by  the  Society 
of  Beaux  Arts  Architects  at  the  Hotel  Astor,  Thursday 
evening,  February  16,  will  be  written  into  the  history 
of  this  organization  as  the  most  magnificent,  interesting  and 
financially  successful  function  of  its  kind  ever  staged  in  New 
York  City.  Calling  this  event  a  monumental  success  but  faintly 
describes  an  entertainment  that  was  replete  with  glowing  color 
and  wonderful  spectacular  effects  from  the  time  the  first  dance 
started  until  the  last  of  the  merry-makers  decided  it  was  about 
time  for  breakfast. 

The  proceeds  of  this  ball  were  for  the  benefit  of  the  students 
in  architecture,  painting  and  sculpture  of  the  Beaux  Arts 
Institute  of  Design.  As  the  tickets  were  $10  each,  and  nearly 
three  thousand  artists  and  their  friends  attended,  a  substantial 
sum  will  be  credited  to  this  fund. 

James  Gamble  Rogers,  president  of  the  Society  of  Beaux 
Arts  Architects,  and  Whitney  Warren,  chairman  of  the  General 
Committee,  headed  the  committee  of  arrangements.  Kenneth 
M.  Murchison  was  chairman  of  the  Executive  Committee  and 
was  assisted  by  Donn  Barber,  W.  Lawrence  Bottomley,  George 
S.  Chappell,  Howard  Greenley,  Frederick  C.  Hirons,  Raymond 
M.  Hood,  Harry  Allen  Jacobs  and  H.  Van.  Buren  Magonigle. 

For  the  key-note  of  the  ball  the  committee  followed  the 
general  program  of  the  famous  Bal  de  Quat'  z'  Arts  of  Paris 
and  the  sub-committees  were  given  every  latitude  in  the  matter 
of  decorations,  costumes  and  stunts.  The  problem  of  costumes 
for  the  revel  was  disposed  of  with  a  general  order  that  "fancy 
costume  was  obligatory  and  must  be  worn  throughout  the 
evening,  but  may  be  of  any  old  period,  B.C.,  A.D.  or  B.V.D. 
Many  extra  diversions  leading  from  the  ballroom  also  helped 


swell  the  fund  for  students  in  architecture  and  art.  Mayor 
Hylan's  pla3'ground,  with  its  slide  and  merry-go-round  was 
well  patronized  throughout  the  evening  and  Henry  B.  Culver's 
"Palace  of  Illusions"  displayed  the  S.R.O.  sign  for  every  per- 
formance. Arthur  Ware  and  the  Atelier  Redon  group  of 
artists  managed  the  "Theatre  Intime"  and  were  forced  to  give 
extra  matinees  to  satisfy  the  demands  of  its  patrons.  "Paris 
by  Gaslight"  a  sort  of  Parisian  Eden  Musee,  a  product  of  the 
imaginative  brain  of  J.  H.  Freedlander,  was  a  paying  attraction 
and  the  hotel  management  was  probably  jealous  of  the  success 
of  the  Taverne  du  Pantheon  and  the  Cafe  des  Deux  Magots. 
The  ■  "Old  Fashioned  American  Bar"  was  a  haven  of  refuge 
all  evening  but  it  was  old-fashioned  only  in  name  and  such 
signs  as  "Volstead  Jin"  and  "A  Bas  Ale"  were  for  atmosphere 
only  and  really  meant  nothing  as  thirst  slakers. 

Various  artistic  stunts  were  pulled  off  during  the  evening 
and  as  they  came  when  least  expected  the  large  crowd  of  revel- 
lers was  kept  in  a  constant  atmosphere  of  suspense.  Captain 
Walter  E.  Traprock,  Skipper  of  the  good  ship  "Kawa"  true 
to  his  word  sent  several  of  his  "Filbert  Island"  brides  to  dance 
under  the  direction  of  Miss  Gilda  Gray.  Miss  Margaret 
Severn  danced  one  of  her  favorite  classic  numbers  and  James 
Ben  Ali  Haggin  arranged  a  series  of  tableaux  in  which  a 
number  of  the  most  beautiful  of  the  Follies  chorus  were  posed. 

The  Society  of  Beaux  Arts  Architects  predicted  that  this  ball 
would  be  an  especially  brilliant  occasion  and  these  predictions 
were  borne  out  in  the  fact.  Much  credit  is  due  to  those  who 
gave  unstintedly  of  their  time  and  effort  to  the  preliminaries 
that  meant  so  much  toward  its  ultimate  success.

Commercial  and  Industrial  Building  Gains  in  Volume 

Weekly  Statistics  of  F,  W.  Dodge  Company  Show  Definite  Improvement  in 
Business  Construction  Throughout  Metropolitan  Area 


REPORTS  of  proposed  construction  in  New  York  State 
and  New  Jersey,  north  of  Trenton,  indicate  that  the 
spring  and  summer  of  1922  will  be  a  season  of  unusual 
activity  in  the  building  industry.  There  has  been  a  steady 
upward  trend  to  the  totals  of  both  proposed  construction  and 
contracts  actually  awarded  since  the  first  of  the  year  and  the 
figures  are  not  expected  to  reach  their  peak  until  early  during 
the  summer. 

According  to  figures  tabulated  by  the  F.  W.  Dodge  Company 
far  the  seventh  week  of  this  year  it  is  shown  that  architects  and 
engineers  had  plans  in  progress  for  new  building  and  engineer- 
ing operations  in  this  territory  to  the  value  of  approximately 
$16,590,300.  This  total  represents  440  separate  projects  new 
to  the  building  industry.  During  the  same  period  contracts  to 
the  number  of  258  were  reported  as  awarded  and  ths  work 
represents  an  outlay  of  about  $9,972,100. 

In  both  proposed  construction  and  contracts  let  there  has 
been  a  very  decided  improvement  in  the  number  of  commercial 
operations.  Although  residential  construction  is  by  far  the 
most  important  group,  as  the  totals  for  this  type  of  construction 
will  show,  there  has  been  a  consistent  gain  in  the  number  and 


value  of  commercial  and  industrial  operations  since  the  be- 
ginning of  the  year. 

The  list  of  440  operations  for  which  plans  were  announced 
during  the  week  of  February  11  to  17  inclusive  was  made  up 
of  the  following  groups:  66  business  and  commercial  projects, 
such  as  stores,  offices,  lofts,  commercial  garages,  etc.,  $1,- 
813,500;  11  educational  buildings,  $882,500;  7  hospitals  and  in- 
stitutions, $369,000;  18  factory  and  industrial  buildings,  $2,- 
035,000;  3  public  buildings,  $83,000;  17  public  works  and  public 
utilities,  $2,929,200;  2  religious  and  memorial  structures,  $250,- 
000;  308  residential  operations,  including  apartments,  fiats  and 
tenements  and  one  and  two-family  dwellings,  $7,740,500,  and  8 
social  and  recreational  projects,  $487,600. 

Among  the  258  projects  for  which  contracts  were  awarded 
during  the  week  of  February  11  to  17  were  included  52  busi- 
ness and  commercial  buildings  of  various  types,  $1,864,000;  3 
educational  projects,  $45,000;  2  hospitals,  $69,000;  9  factory  and 
industrial  buildings,  $259,000;  1  public  building,  $7,000;  4  public 
works  and  public  utilities,  $317,000;  1  religious  edifice,  $1,000,- 
000;  183  residential  projects,  including  multi-family  dwellings 
and  one  and  two-family  houses,  $6,373,500,  and  3  social  and 
recreational  projects,  $37,600.

TRADE  AND  TECHNICAL 
SOCIETY  EVENTS. 


F.  J.  Kloes  50  Years  In  Business 

Coincident  with  the  fiftieth  anniversary  ot  his 
entrance  into  the  manufacture  and  sale  ot  shades 
and  awnings  in  New  York,  F.  J.  Kloes  has  re- 
moved his  business  to  larger  and  modernly 
equipped  quarters  at  269  Canal  street.  Mr.  Kloes 
recently  purchased  the  building  and  remodeled 
it  to  meet  the  requirements  of  his  steadily  grow- 
ing business. 

Established  in  1872,  this  business  commenced 
in  a  modest  shop  at  98  Chatham  street.  In  1879 
it  was  removed  to  173  Canal  street  and  seven 
years  later  it  was  removed  to  240  Canal  street. 
Steadily  expanding,  the  business  was  again  re- 
moved, in  1908,  to  243  Canal  street.  A  recapitu- 
lation of  the  years  shows  that  Mr.  Kloes  was 
at  98  Chatham  street  from  1872  to  1879,  seven 
years ;  at  173  Canal  street  from  1879  to  1886, 
seven  years ;  at  260  Canal  street  from  1886  to 
1893,  seven  years  ;  at  240  Canal  street  from  1893 
to  1908,  13  years ;  at  243  Canal  street  from 
1908  to  1922,  14  years.  It  is  likely  that  the 
business  will  remain  in  its  present  new  location 
for  a  long  time  to  come. 

Lead  Too  Pure  for  Roofing. 

There  is  such  a  thing  as  too  pure  lead 
for  roofing  purposes.  The  ancient  Gothic 
cathedrals  of  Europe  were  topped  with 
this  gray  metal  that  blended  well  with 
the  stone  work  and  the  style  of  architec- 
ture. 

Lead  was  the  metal  that  was  specified 
for  the  roof  of  the  Episcopal  Cathedral, 
of  Washington,  which  is  now  being  built, 
but  after  it  had  been  applied  for  some 
time  it  was  found  that  sheet  lead  on  the 
steep  roof  slopes  had  a  tendency  to  flow 
downward  under  its  own  weight  and  the 
heat  of  the  sun.  The  nail-holes  enlarged 
and  allowed  the  meta!  to  slip  partially  off. 

Metallurgists  of  the  Bureau  of  Stand- 
ards of  the  Department  of  Commerce  were 
called  upon  and  they  found  that  the  grade 
of  commercial  lead  used  was  99.9  per  cent. 
pure,  far  too  pure  tor  satisfactory  roofing. 
They  recommended  the  use  of  what  is 
technically  called  "hard  lead,"  which  con- 
tains approximately   6  per  cent,  antimony. 

Lead  roofs  on  European  cathedrals  have 
lasted  for  300  to  500  years,  and  the 
metallurgists  are  of  the  opinion  that  lead 
as  manufactured  in  those  days  had  im- 
purities sufficient  to  harden  it  for  roofing 
use. 


Building  Managers'  and  Ovpners'  Asso- 
ciation of  New  York  will  hold  its  regular

CURRENT    BUILDING    OPERATIONS 


DESPITE  adverse  weather  conditions 
and  several  other  retarding  factors 
the  local  building  situation  is  encourag- 
ing and  all  affiliated  with  the  industry 
are  optimistic  for  the  future.  A  large 
amount  of  new  construction  has  been  re- 
leased during  the  past  few  weeks  and 
according  to  the  manner  in  which  archi- 
tects and  engineers  are  speeding  up 
work  on  plans  there  will  be  considerable 
additional  work  submitted  for  estimates 
within  the  next  month   or  six   weeks. 

The  spring  building  program  for  the 
entire  Metropolitan  district  shows  a  tre- 
mendous amount  of  new  work  and  while 
residential  building  will  predominate 
there  will  be  a  more  even  balance  be- 
tween this  type  and  other  kinds  of  con- 
struction than  there  was  during  1921. 
Recent  announcements  of  plans  for  new 
structural  projects  show  a  larger  per- 
centage of  commercial,  industrial  and  so- 
cial building  than  prevailed  last  season 
and  as  a  consequence  contracting  inter- 
ests are  more  hopeful  than  they  were  re- 
garding  the   outlook. 

Although  the  local  building  material 
and  supply  markets  are  not  particularly 
active  at  present,  largely  because  of  the 
inclement  weather,  there  is  a  steadily 
Increasing  amount  of  inquiry  for  ma- 
terials to  be  used  in  early  spring  construc- 
tion that  gives  considerable  tone  to  the 
situation.  Prices  are  steady  for  the  most 
part  and  no  changes  of  importance  have 
been  reported  during  the  past  week. 
With  the  exception  of  common  brick  sup- 
plies are  easily  available  and  although 
the  wholesale  brick  market  is  practical- 
ly cleaned  out  the  dealers  have  sufficient 
brick  on  hand  to  fill  all  orders  until  new 
supplies  are  available  from  up-river 
plants. 

Common  Brick- — The  New  York  whole- 
sale market  for  Hudson  River  common 
brick  is  practically  without  activity  at 
present,  with  little  or  no  demand  and  not 
much  brick  on  hand  to  satisfy  it  if  there 
was.  No  building  is  being  held  up,  how- 
ever, as  the  dealers  have  fair  stocks  and 
there  is  some  brick  coming  in  from  up- 
river  plants  by  rail  and  also  some  few 
consignments  from  New  Jersey  and  Staten 
Island.  Prices  are  very  firm  and  no  one 
would  be  surprised  if  an  advance  was  to 
be  announced  at  almost  any  time.  At 
present  there  are  three  cargoes  of  Hud- 
son River  brick  unsold  in  the  wholesale 
market,  but  manufacturers  are  not  push- 
ing  their   sale  at   this   time. 

Face  Brick — Dealers  in  this  commodity 
report  an  excellent  demand  and  a  bright 
outlook  for  the  spring.     The  large  volume 


of  projected  apartment  house  construction 
on  the  schedule  for  New  York  City  anQ 
vicinity  will  undoubtedly  be  responsible 
for  heavy  face  brick  orders  and  as  a  con- 
sequence of  this  anticipated  business  face 
brick  manufacturers  are  inaking  prepara- 
tions tor  prompt  shipments.  Prices  are 
steady  and  range  from  ?45  to  $55  a  thous- 
and for  the  popular  shades  and  textures. 

Builders'  Hardware — Business  in  this 
line  is  quite  active  and  all  signs  point  to 
a  continuation  of  strong  demand  through- 
out the  coming  season.  There  is  a  stead- 
ily  growing   volume   of   active   building  in 


Xew  York  City  and  vicinity  and  both 
manufacturers  and  dealers  are  confident 
that  business  will  be  unusually  active 
during  the  next  few  months.  Jobbers  and 
dealers  are  both  arranging  their  stocks 
for  the  anticipated  demand.  Prices  are 
firm  and  no  changes  of  importance  have 
been   announced. 

Structural  Steel — Local  business  in 
fabricated  steel  has  picked  up  consider- 
ably during  the  past  few  weeks.  Several 
orders  have  been  booked  for  large  build- 
ing projects  in  New  York  City  and  there 
is    quite    a    lot    of    new    construction,    for

which  the  total  tonnage  requirements 
will  be  unusually  heavy,  are  being  fig- 
ured. Architects  report  the  preparation 
of  plans  for  several  important  operations 
that  will  shortly  be  released  for  bids  so 
that  there  are  excellent  signs  of  a  fairly 
active  demand  for  fabricated  material 
throughout  the  spring  and  summer 
months.  Prices  are  fairly  steady  with 
quotations  on  mill  shipments  of  fabri- 
cated steel  practically  unchanged  and 
New  York  quotations  on  steel,  fabricated 
and  erected  in  commercial  structures 
ranging    from    $60    to    $65    per    ton.       Ac- 


cording to  the  records  of  the  Bridge 
Builders  and  Structural  Society  it  is 
shown  that  during  the  month  of  Jan- 
uary, 1922,  72.100  tons  of  fabricated  struc- 
tural steel  were  contracted  for  through- 
out the  United  States.  This  is  equivalent 
to  forty  per  cent,  of  the  entire  capacity 
of  the  bridge  and  structural  shops  of 
the    country. 

Klectrioal  Supplies — Conditions  in  the 
electrical  trade  in  the  Metropolitan  dis-

is  good  and  there  are  indications  of  a 
consistent   increase    throughout    the    com-

ing  spring  and  summer  months.  The 
large  amount  of  active  building  is  a  profit- 
able source  of  business  in  electrical 
lines  and  the  program  of  projected  work 
assures  an  increasing  demand  for  these 
materials.  Some  price  changes  have  re- 
cently been  announced.  Manufacturers 
have  reduced  price  on  flexible  armored 
conductor  by  about  5  per  cent,  bringing 
this  price  back  to  the  level  current  just 
before  the  recent  shortage.  Prices  have 
also  been  reduced  on  one  type  of  electric 
range  and  on  some  of  the  smaller  house- 
hold   appliances. 

Cast  Iron  Pipe — The  market  for  this 
commodity  shows  signs  of  increasing  ac- 
tivity, with  demand  improving,  inquiries 
more  frequent  and  prices  very  firm. 
There  is  some  municipal  business  cur- 
rent with  more  in  sight  for  the  next  few 
months  and  private  interests  are  steadily 
becoming  of  greater  importance  as  buy- 
ing factors.  As  a  general  rule  manufac- 
turers are  optimistic  and  anticipate  a 
season  of  excellent  business  ahead. 
Prices  are  unchanged  with  New  York 
quotations  $47.50  per  net  ton  for  6  in.  and 
larger:  $52.30  tor  4  in.  and  5  in.,  and 
$62.30  for  3  in.,  with  $4  extra  per  ton 
for  Class   A  and    gas   pipe. 

Window  Glass — The  market  for  both 
plate  and  window  glass  is  stronger  than 
it  has  been  for  several  weeks  and  the  Im- 
provement in  the  situation  is  generally 
attributed  to  the  recent  reduction  an- 
nounced by  manufacturers,  which  the  ma- 
jority of  dealers  feel  was  a  substantial 
cut  in  prices.  Buying  is  not  particularly 
active  at  present,  however,  but  there  are 
marked  indications  that  demand  will  im- 
prove shortly  as  the  result  of  the  general 
improvement  in  the  local  building  situa- 
tion. 

Nails. — During  the  past  week  or  so  the 
demand  for  nails  has  grown  spotty,  and 
although  reports  indicate  considerable 
buying  in  some  sections,  others  are  Inac- 
tive. The  only  recent  development  of  In- 
terest in  the  nail  situation  is  the  an- 
nouncement from  Pittsburgh  to  the  effect 
that  the  American  Steel  &  Wire  Company 
and  several  other  prominent  manufactur- 
ers had  reduced  their  prices  on  nails  from 
$4  to  $6  per  ton.  As  yet  these  reductions 
are  not  reflected  in  changed  New  York 
quotations,  but  for  some  time  past  the  lo- 
cal prices  have  been  negotiable. 

Linseed  Oil — The  local  market  is  quiet 
and  no  change  in  business  conditions  is  ex- 
pected before  spring.  Current  buying  is  in 
relatively  small  lots  and  car  lot  purchasers 
are  apparently  out  of  the  market  for  the 
time   being.      Prices   are   steady.

Labor  Reforms  Brighten  Building  Outlook 

The  outlook  in  the  building  industry,  both  national  and 
local,  was  greatly  improved  when  international  union  offi- 
cials, representing  the  bricklayers,  masons  and  plasterers, 
signed  at  Washington  a  code  of  reforms  eliminating  many 
of  the  trade  abuses  which  for  years  have  been  prolific 
sources  of  contention.  This  document  is  destined  to  be- 
come historic  in  construction  annals,  as  it  settles  several 
important  questions  and  leaves  the  way  open  to  harmony 
and  prosperity  for  both  workmen  and  employers.  In  the 
past  building  progress  has  been  severely  handicapped  by 
disputes  based  upon  these  questions  and  the  settlement  now 
obtained  will  hasten  an  early  return  to  normal  conditions 
in  the  industry,  along  with  a  maximum  of  production,  which 
is  of  paramount  importance.  That  is,  the  new  decree  will 
most  certainly  prove  of  great  benefit  to  all  concerned  if  it 
is  accepted  in  good  faith  and  if  a  sincere  determination  to 
abide  by  its  provisions  is  shown. 

After  conferences  with  Attorney-General  Daugherty  and 
United  States  District  Attorney  Hayward,  the  executive 
heads  of  the  three  International  unions  agreed  to  institute 
these  reforms  and  signed  a  consent  to  the  entry  of  a  Federal 
Court  decree  aflfecting  their  national  organizations  and  all 
of  their  local  unions.  In  this  action  the  unions  represented 
have  abandoned  the  tactics  heretofore  employed  in  labor 
disputes  and  have  apparently  decided  to  co-operate  with 
capital  in  an  effort  to  end  the  grave  housing  shortage  with- 
out further  delay.  These  trades,  by  their  far-sighted  policy 
in  this  respect,  are  deserving  of  the  highest  commendation. 
Their  action  will  exert  a  salutary  influence  upon  other  im- 
portant building  trade  organizations  which  are  still  op- 
erating under  a  schedule  of  union  rules  and  regulations 
detrimental  to  an  early  return  to  normalcy  in  the  construc- 
tion industry. 

The  Washington  agreement  follows  in  its  fundamentals 
the  one  made  last  year  with  the  Lxjckwood  Committee  by 
local  unions.  It  removes  the  limit  of  productive  capacity 
of  the  individual  workman  and  gives  to  the  employer  the 
right  to  purchase  his  building  materials  wherever  and  from 
whomever  he  pleases,  whether  those  materials  are  union- 
made  or  not.  The  agreement  also  abolishes  favoritism  by 
organized  labor  toward  trade  organizations  or  contractors' 
associations  and  it  furthermore  forbids  labor  organizations 
from  being  used  by  material  manufacturers  and  dealers, 
contractors  and  sub-contractors  as  instruments  for  the  col- 
lection of  debts  or  the  enforced  payment  of  disputed  claims. 

The  new  agreement  brings  about  an  understanding  be- 
tween building  labor  and  employers  at  a  time  when 
conditions  are  growing  more  favorable  for  the  resumption 
of  building  on  a  gigantic  scale.  Locally  the  construction 
industry  is  on  the  eve  of  one  of  the  most  active  building 
seasons  ever  known.  Prior  to  the  announcement  of  this 
agreement  building  interests  had  expressed  grave  doubts 
as  to  the  attitude  of  labor  regarding  certain  well-established 
trade  abuses  which  have  hampered  production  and  kept 
construction  costs  at  extortionately  high  levels.    The  Wash- 


ington agreement,  however,  removes  in  part  the  outstand- 
ing abuses  and  practices  in  three  important  trades  long 
recognized  as  retardants,  and  the  signatories  to  the  consent 
should  have  the  warm  approval  of  the  building  fraternity 
for  their  action. 

The  Lockwood  Committee,  as  the  prime  instigator  of  this 
effective  effort  to  bring  about  a  return  of  industrial  peace, 
deserves  a  large  share  of  the  credit  for  the  results  obtained 
through  the  recent  conferences  between  the  national  officers 
of  justice  and  union  building  labor.  Upon  the  disclosures 
of  the  pernicious  trade  practices  brought  out  in  evidence  by 
Samuel  Untermyer,  Chief  Counsel  to  the  Committee,  Col. 
Hayward  based  his  investigation  into  union  rules,  regula- 
tions and  practices  which  has  now  been  brought  to  a  suc- 
cessful conclusion. 


"Reasonable   Rent"   Still   in   Doubt 

It  had  been  hoped  that  the  decision  of  the  Appellate  Divi- 
sion in  the  case  of  Hall  vs.  Moos  would  establish  principles 
that  would  finally  resolve  some  of  the  complexities  and  un- 
certainties of  the  rent  laws  and  make  it  possible  for  landlord 
and  tenant,  where  the  facts  are  conceded,  to  figure  by  a 
mere  mathematical  process  the  "reasonable"  rent  of  an 
apartment.  Unfortunately,  the  decision  falls  far  short  of 
accomplishing  this  much-desired  result.  It  does  settle  one 
problem  and  that  favorably  to  the  contention  of  the  land- 
lords, viz :  that  "the  rental  should  be  based  upon  the  fair 
percentage  of  profits,  upon  the  fair  valuation  of  the  prem- 
ises as  though  they  were  unencumbered  by  mortgages."  In 
other  words,  the  return  must  be  figured  on  the  full  value  of 
the  property  and  not  upon  the  owner's  equity.  The  sound- 
ness of  this  cannot  be  doubted,  as  any  other  basis  would 
result  in  gross  inequalities  between  rentals  paid  by  different 
tenants  for  similar  accommodation. 

The  opinion,  however,  is  far  from  clear  as  to  the  method 
of  ascertaining  and  proving  the  "fair  value"  of  the  proper- 
ty. The  court  recognized  the  difficulty  of  this  problem  and 
criticized  severely  the  expert  evidence  by  which  plaintiff  had 
attempted  to  establish  the  value  of  the  properties  involved ; 
but  unfortunately  supplies  no  solution.  It  states:  "It  is, 
of  course,  difficult  to  formulate  an  absolute  rule  for  ascer- 
taining the  basis  upon  which  the  fair  rental  return  to  the 
landlord  is  to  be  calculated,  at  a  time  when  a  fair  market 
value  is  not  ascertainable."  Having  assumed  that  it  is  not 
possible  to  ascertain  a  fair  market  value,  the  court  suggests 
that  proof  of  an  existing  market  value  "before  the  period  of 
of  abnormality  set  in"  might  be  given.  When  this  so-called 
period  commenced,  however,  or  whether  it  is  now  at  an  end, 
is  left  to  the  imagination. 

Did  values  commence  to  be  abnormal  when  the  European 
War  began,  or  when  we  entered  the  war,  or  when  it  was 
half  over,  or  after  the  Armistice,  or  a  year  later?  It  is  only 
the  latter  date  which  in  fact  marks  the  period  of  rapid  ad- 
vance in  real  estate  values.  Have  we  now  reached  a  period 
of  stability  and  normalcy,  or  does  the  court  believe  that  we

must  return  to  pre-war  values  first?  If  so,  its  opinion 
would  be  in  conflict  with  the  expert  opinion  of  most  econ- 
omists. 

The  court  says  that  the  cost  of  the  property  when  the 
owner  purchased  it  or  constructed  the  building,  its  assessed 
valuation,  actual  bona  fide  sales  of  similar  property  if  any, 
and  such  other  facts  and  circumstances  as  may  be  ascer- 
tained in  a  given  case,  should  be  considered  in  order  to  fix  a 
fair  value.  While  the  learned  judge  who  wrote  the  opin- 
ion quite  evidently  holds  that  the  return  should  not  be  based 
on  the  amount  of  actual  cash  invested,  he  does  not  state 
positively  that  value  and  not  original  investment  should  be 
the  basis  of  return.  Proof  of  reproduction  cost  is  not  di- 
rectly repudiated,  but  the  criticism  of  the  evidence  offered 
in  the  instant  case  shows  that  the  court  did  not  value  such 
proof  very  highly.  Unfortunately,  just  how  to  prove  value 
is  left  in  the  same  state  of  obscurity  and  uncertainty  a'^  be- 
fore the  opinion  was  written,  and  the  result  will  necessarily 
be  further  litigation  until  this  question  is  determined. 

The  court  discusses  the  allowance  of  2  per  cent,  for  de- 
preciation and  1  per  cent,  for  obsolescence,  and,  while 
throwing  out  the  latter  item  on  the  ground  that  there  was 
no  evidence  that  the  Iniildings  were  becoming  obsolete, 
concedes  that  an  allowance  should  be  made  for  depreciation. 
The  court  criticizes  as  inadequate  the  proof  that  2  per  cent, 
was  a  proper  percentage,  adding  "we  understand  that  the 
Federal  government,  in  the  enforcement  of  the  Income  Tax 
Law.  permits  an  annual  loss  on  fireproof  apartment  build- 


ings to  the  extent  of  1  per  cent."  As  a  matter  of  fact,  how- 
ever, the  Federal  Government  has  uniformly  allowed  2% 
depreciation  on  fireproof  buildings. 

The  court  excludes  proof  by  expert  evidence  of  the  fair 
rental  value  of  the  premises  on  the  ground  that  to  permit 
such  evidence  would  be  "to  permit  a  usurpation  of  the  func- 
tions of  the  court  or  jury."  Such  evidence  has  been  per- 
mitted in  the  past  in  rent  cases  and  other  cases  where  mar- 
ket or  reasonable  value  is  to  be  determined,  its  weight,  of 
course,  being  for  the  consideration  of  the  judge  or  jury. 

Finally,  the  court  expresses  its  views  as  to  what  a  fair 
percentage  of  return  under  existing  circumstances  should 
be,  and  fixes  8  per  cent,  as  the  fair  net  return,  not,  how- 
ever, indicating  clearly  whether  this  is  intended  to  be  a 
maximum  or  a  minimum  percentage. 

After  all,  what  a  business  man  requires  most  in  his  busi- 
ness is  certainty ;  an  adverse  but  definite  ruling  is  often 
less  vexatious  than  continued  indecision.  The  matter  of 
renting  apartments  since  the  passage  of  the  laws  of  1920 
has  been  involved  in  difficulty  and  surrounded  by  uncer- 
tainty and  the  reasonable  landlord  and  tenant  have  tried 
Init  failed  to  find  common  ground  on  which  to  meet.  It 
was  hoped  that  the  courts  would  ultimately  clarify  the 
vagueness  of  the  rent  laws ;  but  we  seem  as  far  today  as  we 
were  when  the  laws  were  passed  from  arriving  at  standards 
liy  which  the  reasonableness  of  rent  can  actually  be  tested. 

Is  the  problem  insoluble  or  are  the  courts  unable  to  cope 
with  it? 


Lockwood  Committee  Gets  Extension  for  Another  Year 

(Special  to  The  Record  and  Guide) 


Albany,   March  2. 

THE    Lockwood    Housing    Committee    has    been    granted    an 
extension    of    life    to    February    1,    1923,    the    Assembly    on 
Tuesday  having  adopted  the  Senate  resolution  to  this  effect. 
The    resolution    cajried   lan    appropriation    of    $119,000    for    the 
committee,  and  $40,000  of  this  sum  is  intended  for  the  committee's 
ex-nenses  during  the  current  year,  and  $79,000  for  deficit. 

Earlier  in  the  session  there  was  much  opposition  to  the  continued 
activities  of  the  Lockwood  Committee.  It  was  pointed  out  that 
Senator  Lockwood  and  his  associates  had  been  delving  into  the 
iiousing  shortage  over  a  period  of  three  years,  and  many  of  the 
legislators  believed  the  time  had  come  to  give  the  landlords  and 
tenants  and  the  courts  a  rest.  In  fact,  it  was  generally  expected 
wlien  the  Legislature  met  that  the  Lockwood  Committee  would  go 
out  of  business  with  the  filing  of  its  report  and  the  presentation  of 
the  various  bills  which  are  being  prepared  to  carry  out  its  recom- 
mendations. The  members  of  the  Legislature,  however,  experienced  a 
change  of  viev.  last  week,  and  as  a  result  the  resolution  to  continue 
the  committee's  activities  for  another  year  passed  both  branches 
of  the  Legislature  practically  without  opposition.  The  committee, 
under  this  resolution,  retains  all  of  the  powers  it  has  possessed 
heretofore,  but  additional  powers  which  were  sought  by  Chairman 
Lockwood  and  Chief  Counsel  Untermyer  have  not  been  granted. 
Assured  by  Governor  Miller  that  the  present  draft  of  the  Gibbs- 
McWhinney   bill   licensing  real   estate  lirokers   and   salesmen   over- 


comes the  objections  which  prompted  him  to  veto  a  similar  measure 
last  year,  supporters  of  this  legislation  are  contemplating  an 
intensive  drive  to  pass  it  before  adjournment,  which  is  set  for 
March  17.  The  scope  of  the  legislation  has  been  confined  to  New 
York  City  and  the  up-state  cities.  This  limitation  is  designed  to 
meet  the  objections  which  Governor  Miller  saw  last  year  when  he 
vetoed  a  real  estate  brokers'  license  bill  which  was  State-wide  in 
its  application.  The  Governor  pointed  out  at  that  time  that  he  did 
not  believe  the  rural  communities  would  be  benefitted  by  such  a  law. 

In  addition  to  providing  for  the  licensing  of  real  estate  brokers 
and  salesmen  the  bill  contains  several  punitive  provisions  designed 
to  prevent  splitting  of  commissions  and  other  alleged  sharp  prac- 
tices. The  State  Tax  commission  is  made  the  administering  body 
for  the  new  law  and  the  license  fees  are  fixed  as  follows :  First- 
class  cities,  brokers  fee  $25,  salesmen  $5 ;  Second  class  cities, 
brokers  fee  $15,  salesmen  $3;  Third  class  cities,  brokers  fee  $10, 
salesrnen  $2.  Where  a  corporation  or  co-partnership,  the  license 
issued  to  it  shall  entitle  the  president  thereof  or  such  other  officer 
as  shall  be  designated  by  such  corporation  to  act  as  a  real  estate 
liroker.  .Additional  licenses  shall  be  issued  to  the  corporation  for 
the  benefit  of  its  agents  at  one  half  the  cost  of  the  original  license 
procured    by   the   corporation. 

The  Davenport  committee  was  given  a  new  lease  of  life  during 
the  last  week,  after  Speaker  Machold  had  withdrawn  his  opposition 
to   further   appropriations    for  investigations. 


New  York's  Receipts  and  Expenditures  Each  Now  Exceed  a  Billion  Dollars 


COMPTROLLER    CRAIG'S    annual    report,    published    last 
Tupsflav,  shows  that  in  gross  receipts  and  expenditures  New 
York    City,    for   the    first   time    in    its    history,    passed   the 
billion  dollar  mark  in   1921. 

The  gross  receipts,  including  all  the  fund  transactions  and  those 
between  the  city  treasury  and  the  sinking  funds,  and  vice  versa 
aggregated  $1,243,429,411;  the  gross  payments  amounted  to  $1,194,- 


705,153.  After  eliminating  all  entries  reflecting  the  transactions 
between  funds,  the  annual  cash  receipts  amounted  to  $1,050,813,512, 
and  the  actual  cash  payments  to  $1,002,089,254.  The  entire  over- 
turn was  considerably  more  than  $2,000,000,000. 

The  transactions  for  1921  aggregated  $338,500,000  more  both  in 
income  and  outgo,  than  the  gross  transactions  in  1920,  which  were 
greater  in  receipts  and  expenditures  than  the  transactions  in  1919 
by  nearly  $583,000,000.

REAL    ESTATE     SECTION 


New  Law  Provides  Uniform  Tax  Rate  for  All  Boroughs 

Amendment  to  Greater  New  York  Charter  Transferring  Certain  County  Charges  to 
the  City  Budget  Rushed  Through  Legislature  to  Safeguard  Tax  Levy 


BY  the  enactment  of  a  bill  amending  the  Greater  New  York 
charter  in  relation  to  county  charges  the  tax  rate  through- 
out the  five  boroughs  vvi!l  be  uniform  this  year.  The  bill 
was  introduced  in  the  Legislature  at  the  instance  of  Comptroller 
Craig,  and  after  it  had  passed  both  branches  was  sent  to  Mayor 
Hylan,  who  signed  it  after  a  public  hearing,  at  which  protests 
were  made  against  it  by  the  Real  Estate  Board,  the  Citizens'  Union 
and  the  United  Real  Estate  Owners'  Association. 

Before  signing  the  bill  the  Governor  held  a  hearing  at  which 
Comptroller  Craig  and  Senator  Downing  appeared  in  support  of 
the  measure,  and  Stewart  Browne,  of  the  United  Real  Estate 
Owners'  Association,  opposed  it.  The  latter  threatened  a  taxpayers' 
action  to  test  the  legality  of  the  measure  if  it  was  approved. 

The  Comptroller  said  the  geographical  and  political  conditions 
prevailing  in  Greater  New  York  were  different  from  those  in  other 
counties. 

"In  New  York  City,"  he  said,  "there  is  such  a  community  of 
interests  between  the  several  counties  comprised  in  the  Greater 
City  that  this  legislation  is  not  only  beneficial  but  necessary. 

"There  is  indeed  a  distinction  between  Greater  New  York  and 
up-State  counties.  Down  there  the  Board  of  Aldermen  is  paid  by 
the  city  at  large,  not  by  any  county.  We  have  no  county  treasurers, 
but  rather  a  Chamberlain  and  a  Comptroller.  All  the  court  houses 
in  the  various  counties  were  built  or  reconstructed  at  the  expense 
of  the  taxpayers  in  all  the  counties,  that  is  in  the  Greater  City. 
Our  interests  are  identical." 

The  Comptroller  admitted  that  the  effect  of  this  bill  would  be  to 
increase  the  tax  rate  in  Manhattan  and  to  reduce  it  materially 
elsewhere.  He  said  that  the  bill  was  drafted  to  correct  what  the 
administration  believed  were  serious  defects  in  th  1922-1923  tax 
levy.  The  Comptro'.ler,  in  an  interview  on  the  bill,  stated  that  the 
tax  rate  for  all  boroughs  would  probably  be  $2.74  per  $100. 

The  Craig  bill  was  introduced  at  Albany  by  Senator  Downing 
following  the  decision  by  Justice  May,  of  the  Supreme  Court,  in 
which  he  held  that  the  action  of  the  Board  of  Aldermen  in  elim- 
inating about  $280,000  from  the  budgets  of  Richmond  and  Bronx 
Counties  to  bring  them  within  the  constitutional  limit  of  not  to 
exceed  two  per  cent  of  the  city's  personal  and  real  estate  assess- 
ments, was  illegal.  The  items  eliminated  provided  for  the  payment 
of  salaries  of  certain  county  officials,  largely  judicial. 

With  these  items  remaining  in  the  county  budgets,  the  whole 
tax  levy  for  the  city,  was  imperilled  and  Comptrol'-er  Craig  tle- 
cided  to  appeal  to  the  legislature  for  relief.  The  bill,  which 
legalizes  the  transfer  of  county  charges  to  the  city  budget,  follows : 

[EXPLANATION — Matter  in  itnlics  is  new;  matter  in  bracltets  [1  is  old 
law  to  he  omitted.] 

Section  1.  Section  nine  hundred  and  two  of  the  Gerater  New  Yorli  Char- 
ter, as  re-enacted  by  chapter  four  hundred  and  sixty-six  of  the  laws  of 
nineteen  hundred  and  one.  and  last  amended  by  chapter  four  hundred  and 
fifty  of  the  laws  of  nineteen  hundred  and  fourteen,  is  hereby  amended  to 
read  as  follows  : 

§002.  In  the  statement  submitted  by  the  comptroller  to  the  board  of 
aldermen,  as  above  provided  in  this  chapter,  he  shall  each  year  include  and 
state  specifically  the  sum  or  sums  necessary  to  be  raised  to  pay  during  the 
current  year  tho  salaries  of  the  county  offieers  and  other  county  char;^cs 
and  expenses  in  tho  counties  of  New  York.  Kings.  Bronx.  Queens  and  Rich- 
mond, respectively,  and  the  board  of  aldermen  is  hereby  autliorlKed  and  di- 
rected to  levy  upon  and  collect  from  taxable  property  within  leach  of  tlie 
said  counties  respectively]  the  citi/  of  New  York  ns  noto  constituted,  the 
sum  or  sums  so  necessary  to  be  raised  to  pay  the  salaries  of  county  ofTicers 
and  other  county  charges  and  expenses  of  such  [county]  counties  [  :].  [to 
the  end  that  each  of  such  counties  shall  ultimately  bear  and  pay  all  ex- 
penses necessary  to  be  incurred  within  the  county  for  county  as  dis- 
tinguished from  city  purposes.] 

§2.  Section  fifteen  hundred  and  eighty-three  of  fthe  Greater  New  York 
charter  is  hereby  amended  so  as  to  read  as  follows: 


§1.18.3.  The  salaries  of  all  county  officers  in  the  counties  of  New  York, 
Kings,  Queens  and  Richmond  shall,  unless  otherwise  provided  by  law,  be 
fixed  by  the  board  of  aldermen  on  the  recommendation  of  the  board  of  es- 
timate and  apportionment,  and  all  county  charges  and  expenses  and  sal- 
aries of  county  officers  in  said  counties  and  each  of  them  shall  be  audited 
and  paid  by  the  department  of  finance  out  of  the  fund  or  appropriation  ap- 
plicable thereto,  and  the  audit  of  said  department  in  respect  to  such  charge 
and  expenses  shall  extend  to  the  reasonableness  thereof  and  shall  be,  in 
all  respects,  as  full  and  complete  as  the  audit  of  city  charges  and  expenses 
provided  for  by  section  one  hundred  and  forty-nine  of  this  act,  but  nothing 
in  this  section  contained  shall  be  construed  as  in  any  way  changing  or 
modifying  the  provision  contained  in  section  nine  hundred  and  two  of 
this  act.  [To  the  effect  that  the  sums  necessary  to  defray  the  salaries  of 
county  officers  and  to  pay  county  charges  and  expenses  in  said  counties 
shall  be  levied  and  asesssed  upon  the  property  of  said  four  counties,  re- 
spectively, so  that  each  shall  ultimately  bear  and  pay  all  its  own  county 
charges,  nor  to  affect  the  county  of  Queens  until  after  the  thirty-first  day 
of  December,  eighteen  hundred  and  ninety-nine.] 
3.     This  act  shall  take  effect  immediately. 

At  the  hearing  before  Mayor  Hylan,  representatives  of  the 
Citizens'  Union  protested  that  the  bill  should  not  be  accepted  for 
the  following  reasons :  That  it  violates  Article  VIII,  Section  10 
of  the  State  Constitution,  which  by  clear  implication  requires  that 
the  ta.x  for  county  purposes  shall  be  kept  distinct  from  the  tax 
for  City  purposes ;  while  it  is  said  to  be  demanded  by  an  emergency 
created  by  this  year's  budget,  the  operation  of  the  bill  purports 
to  change  the  existing  order  permanently  and  its  enactment  in  its 
present  form  would  tend  to  encourage  repetitions  of  the  present 
situation  with  a  view  to  preventing  repeal  or  amendment  next 
year  or  thereafter;  it  is  unfair  because  it  would  make  the  City  at 
large,  and  particularly  the  Borough  of  Manhattan,  pay  for  the 
extravagances  of  mandatory  county  legislation  and  all  counties, 
which  need  not  be  and  is  not  submitted  to  the  Mayor  for  approval 
and  over  which  the  municipal  authorities  have  no  control ;  it  is 
unwise  because  it  will  effect  the  concealment  from  the  public  of  the 
cost  and  waste  of  county  government  in  this  City,  thereby  increas- 
ing the  difficulty  of  reducing  the  City  budget  by  constitutional  and 
legislative  changes  which  will  abolish  certain  county  offices,  con- 
solidate others  and  assimilate  still  others  to  the  existing  muncipal 
government  and  is  unnecessary  because  the  Board  of  Estimate  can 
eliminate  a  sufficient  amount  of  non-mandatory  Richmond  and 
Bronx  County  charges  and  City- wide  appropriations  to  keep  within 
the   constitutional  tax   limit. 

The  Real  Estate  Board  objected  to  the  bill  because  it  amended 
out  of  existing  law  the  "one  check  we  now  have  on  county  extrava- 
gance, which  is  the  fact  that  each  county  pays  its  own  expenses 
and  the  difference  in  borough  rates  of  taxation  is  due  mainly  to 
this."  Quick  action  on  the  bill  by  the  Legislature,  the  Mayor  and 
the  Governor  was  made  necessary  because  the  Board  of  Alderman 
is  obliged  to  fix  the  tax  long  for  the  year  on  or  before  March  3. 
Whi!e  a  uniform  tax  rate  for  all  boroughs  does  away  with  a 
great  amount  of  confusion  on  the  part  of  taxpayers  the  feeling 
of  property  owners  generally  in  Manhattan  and  Brooklyn  boroughs 
is  that  they  should  not  be  compelled  to  iiay  any  share  of  expenses 
incurred  by  action  of  county  officials.  When  the  Comptroller  pro- 
posed the  measure  to  correct  the  1922  tax  levy  so  as  to  bring  it 
within  the  constitutional  limit  of  not  to  exceed  two  per  cent,  of 
the  assessments  it  was  understood  that  the  bill  was  so  drawn  as  to 
apply  to  the  present  emergency  only.  But  the  bill  as  passed  does 
not  liinit  its  provisions  to  this  year  or  any  other  fixed  period,  and 
the  Comptroller's  explanation  of  it,  made  at  the  hearing  before 
the  Governor  at  Albany,  indicates  that  the  city  administration  con- 
siders that  these  county  charges  should  hereafter  be  carried  in  the 
general  appropriations. 

The  statement  of  the  Comptroller  that  the  tax  rate  will  be  $2.74 
indicates  a  reduction  from  last  year's  figure.

Mr.  Simon  Defines  Real  Estate  Operators'  Point  of  View 

Points  Out  Necessity  for  Thorough  Knowledge  of  Realty  Business  and  Duty  of 
preading  Correct  Information  About  It  in  Y.  M.  C.  A.  Lecture  Course 


Sp 


ROBERT  E.  SIMON  was  the  speaker  at  the  West  Side 
Branch  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  on  Fifty-seventh  Street,  last 
Tuesday  evening,  his  topic  in  the  lecture  course  on  various 
phases  of  the  realty  business  being  "The  Real  Estate  Operators' 
Point  of  View."  Frank  E.  Perley,  President  of  the  Record  and 
Guide  Company,  presided. 

Mr.  Simon,  in  opening,  said  that  it  was  rather  a  large  contract 
to  express  the  operators'  viewpoint.  There  are  as  many  different 
points  of  view  as  there  are  operators,  he  said,  and  as  there  are 
classes  of  property  in  which  they  deal.  He  enumerated  some 
of  the  kinds  of  operators  as  the  speculators,  dealers,  developers, 
auctioneers  (when  they  have  an  interest  in  the  profits  beyond 
the  fees)  the  semi-investors  and  the  building  loan  operators,  who 
all  deal  in  vacant,  improved  and  semi-improved  properties,  either 
m  special  localities,  in  a  particular  borough  or  throughout  the 
city  generally.  Then  there  is  the  operator's  attitude  towards  the 
seller,  the  buyer  and  the  broker. 

"This  course,"  continued  Mr.  Simon,  "is  the  only  serious  attempt 
I  know  of  to  definitely  encourage  the  study  of  the  subject  of  real 
estate.  It  should  be  encouraged  and  developed.  The  'Realtors,' 
the  operators  and  brokers  as  a  class  are  not  nearly  sufficiently 
well  informed.  The  growth  and  development  of  a  city  should  be 
a  matter  of  scientific  research  and  study.  There  are  theories 
which  should  be  analyzed,  criticised  and  reduced  wherever  possible 
to  a  basis  of  fact — a  course  in  economics  and  psychology  should  be 
taken  by  every  real  estate  man.  The  broker,  especially,  could 
vastly  improve  his  methods  if  he  learned  scientifically  how  to 
approach  a  prospective  buyer  and  seller.  The  lack  of  knowledge 
of  how  to  study  the  strength  or  weakness  of  an  individual  and 
how  to  size  up  your  man,  has  been  the  cause  of  many  a  lost  deal. 

"The  trend  of  business,  its  major  and  minor  waves,  moves  on 
through  the  centuries  with  appalling  regularity,  and  many  a  failure, 
and  even  general  depressions  or  panics,  could  be  averted,  if  a  proper 
amount  of  knowledge  were  had  by  a  sufficiently  large  number  of 
people  who  are  willing  to  unselfishly  use  this  knowledge  for  the 
benefit  of  the  good  of  all.  The  operator  especially  should  learn  how 
to  employ  his  money  to  best  advantage.  There  are  times  when  it 
is  profitable  to  be  active  and  times  when  it  pays  to  look  on  and  do 
little  or  nothing.  Too  much  idle  capital  is  a  source  of  great 
danger  and  has  caused  the  downfall  of  many  operating  companies. 
One  must  either  learn  to  be  able  to  keep  money  idle,  awaiting  the 
opportune  moment  for  investment,  or  to  employ  it  tmporarily  and 
yet  keep  it  liquid  for  the  same  purpose. 

"Buying  on  a  basis  of  inflated  rents,  or  at  the  peak  of  high 
building  costs  leads  to  disastrous  investments.  Lack  of  courage  to 
take  a  loss  is  also  a  fault.     The  average  merchant,  banker,  stock 


dividends.  I  am  convinced  the  return  from  real  estate  would 
compare  favorably  with  such  a  showing.  Intelligent  moulding  of 
public  opinion  would  prevent  much  of  the  useless  waste  caused  by 
shifting  centres. 

"We  frequently  hear  uninformed  people  remark,  'Thirty  Fourth 
Street  is  too  far  down  town,'  or  'The  movement  is  north  of  42nd 
Street.,' "  the  speaker  continued.  "Such  meaningless  statements, 
frequently  repeated  and  left  unanswered,  gain  force,  like  a  snow 
ball  rolling  down  hill.  Too  far  down  town  for  what?  What  move- 
m.ent  is  north  of  42nd  Street? 

"In  the  last  ten  years  there  has  been  more  hotel  accommodation 
built  at  or  south  of  42nd  Street  than  north;  more  transportation 
facilities  have  been  created  south  of  42nd  Street  than  north.  Taking 
Metropolitan  New  York,  as  bounded  by  Governor  Miller  at  the 
Real  Estate  Board  dinner,  from  Port  Washington  to  Plainfield, 
and  from  Tottenville  to  White  Plains,  there  is  a  greater  population 
residing  south  of  42nd  Street  than  north.  The  two  greatest  rail- 
road terminals  on  Manhattan  Island,  are  either  at  or  below  42nd 
Street,  and  all  the  ferries  connecting  with  railroads  in  New  Jersey 
and  the  McAdoo  tunnel,  are  south  of  42nd  Street.  In  short,  the 
whole  United  States  and  Europe  and  South  America  enters  New 
York   South  of  42nd   Street. 

"Fifty  Seventh  Street  no  doubt  will  be  the  street  for  exclusive 
shops,  and  there  is  room  on  upper  Fifth  Avenue  and  the  side 
streets  north  of  42nd  Street  for  similar  uses,  but  that  has  no 
actual  bearing  on  the  permanency  of  the  greatest  retail  shopping 
centre  of  the  world,  from  34th  Street  to  42nd  Street,  East  and  West 
of  Fifth  Avenue. 

"The  real  estate  man  should  make  it  his  duty  to  gather  the  facts 
to  prevent  the  spreading  of  these  erroneous  impressions.  Look 
at  the  devastation  of  the  area  from  14th  to  23rd  Streets,  which 
was  in  my  opinion  absolutely  unnecessary.  It  was  almost  a 
stampede,  based  solely  on  false  premises,  and  started  by  two 
unreasonable  property  owners  who  tried  to  hold  up  Altman's  and 
Macy's  followed  by  the  Claflin  failure. 

"On  14th  Street,  in  1908,  from  actual  figures  taken  from  the 
building  at  Sth  Avenue  and  14th  Street,  stores  renting  in  1908,  for 
$10,000,  during  the  depression  on  that  street  caused  by  this  whole- 
sale moving  north,  dropped  to  $4,500,  but  today  are  back  again  tc> 
$10,000,  rented  to  the  same  class  of  tenants.  Lofts  in  the  same 
building  in  1908,  renting  for  $6,000,  dropped  to  $4,500,  and  today 
bring  $8,000.  In  many  cases  the  same  tenant  has  occupied  the 
space  throughout  these  3  periods.  Buildings  25  feet  wide,  prin- 
cipally store  value  on  14th  Street,  between  Sth  and  6th  Avenue, 
rented  in  1911-1912  for  $7,500  net,  and  are  now  taken  up  at 
$20,000  net.    Hearn's  on  14th  Street  stand  out  as  a  shining  example 


operator  all  take  a  loss  much  more  readily  and  willingly  than  does      of  calmness  and  vision.     They  were  not  stampeded;  they  remained 


the  average  real  estate  operator. 

"  Take  the  question  of  management.  There  is  no  doubt  a 
general  impression  that  the  ownership  of  real  estate  is  a  source 
of  annoyance.  We  have  all  heard  the  remark,  'I  invest  in  stocks 
and  bonds  and  I  have  no  trouble.'  The  individual  does  not  give 
real  estate  a  fair  chance.  He  will  buy  a  large  block  of  stock  of  a 
corporation,  in  the  majority  of  cases,  totally  ignorant  of  its  actual 
financial  condition  or  the  character  of  its  management.  His  money 
is   handled   for   him.     All   the  complications   of  management   and 


where  they  were;  did  not  have  to  take  a  loss  by  scrapping  their 
buildings,  and  they  have  been  rewarded  for  their  patience  and 
good  merchandising  efforts  by  not  only  actually  increasing  their 
business  80%  in  volume  ,  but  also  being  able  to  sell  a  better  grade 
of  merchandise  at  better  prices.  Wanamaker's  likewise  have  gone 
right  on  in  the  same  location  where  A.  T.  Stewart  did  business 
a  half  a  century  ago,  during  which  time  McCreery's  have  moved 
from  10th  Street  to  23rd  Street  and  then  to  34th  Street.  Figures 
and   facts   as  these,   and   other   data   of   similar   nature   should   be

If  he  would  invest  in  real  estate  and  permit  some  competent

all  the  burdens,  with  authority  to  create  reserves  for  depreciation 
and  future  financing,  and  account  monthly,  quarterly  or  semi- 
annually, and  the  owner  give  it  no  more  attention  than  he  does 
his  other  investments  represented  by  securities  in  his  box,  he 
would  find  real  estate  no  more  difficult.  I  took  occasion  to  look 
over  the  New  York  Times  stock  exchange  list  one  day  last  week. 
Out  of  a  total  of  390  securities,  including  common  and  preferred

"The  same  applies  to  the  amusement  centre.  How  many  people 
realize  that  between  34th  and  42nd  Streets  there  are  twelve  theatres,, 
not  including  the  opera  house,  all  doing  business.  Are  they  not  just 
as  accessible  to  the  crowds  using  the  Times  Square  station  of  42nd 
Street  as  a  theatre  north  of  42nd  Street,  and  are  they  not 
nearer  the  Pennsylvania  station  ?  Do  you  believe  there  are  many 
merchants  or  theatrical  producers  in  the  city  who  know  how  much 
of  their  trade  comes  to  thei  rdoor  by  automobile,  or  how  much  by 
other  forms  of  transportation,  and  how  much  comes  from  the  north

Appellate  Division  Upholds  Murray  Hill  Restriction 


SUPREME    COURT    JUSTICE    GEORGE    V.    MULLAN'S 
decision   prohibiting  the   estate   of   William   Waldorf   Astor 
from  building  a  business  block  on  the  West  Side  of  Madison 
Avenue  between  Thirty-fifth  and  Thirty-sixth   Streets,   in  the  re- 
stricted Murray  Hill  residential  district,  was  affirmed  unanimously 
"by  the  .Appellate  Division.   First  Department  last  week. 

Justice  Mullan's  decision  held  that  the  Board  of  Appeals  of  the 
City  of  New  York  had  exceeded  its  jurisdiction  in  granting  per- 
mission to  the  late  Baron  Astor  in  May,  1918,  to  put  up  a  business 
"block,  and  in  changing  the  designation  of  the  property  from  resi- 
■dential  to  business. 

.\n  appeal  from  the  decision  was  taken  to  the  Appellate  Division 


by  Henry  W.  Taft.  of  Cadwalader,  \\'icker.sham  &  Taft,  for  the 
Farmers  Loan  and  Trust  Company,  executors  of  the  Astor  Estate. 
John  G.  Milburn,  of  Carter,  Ledyard  &  Millburn,  for  the  property 
owners,  including  J,  P.  Morgan,  contended  that  the  action  of  the 
Board  of  Appeals  was  beyond  its  statutory  powers. 

"The  proposed  action  of  the  Board  of  Appeals,"  he  said,  "would 
have  resulted  in  a  substantial  change  in  the  boundaries  of  a  district, 
a  matter  exclusively  within  the  jurisdiction  of  the  Board  of  Esti- 
mate and  Apportionment  and  beyond  the  powers  of  the  Board  of 
Appeals." 

Counsel  for  the  Astor  estate  have  referred  to  their  client  the 
question  of  applying  to  the  .\ppellate  Division  for  the  right  to 
appeal  to  the  Court  of  Appeals.

Review  of  Real  Estate  Market  for  the   Current  Week 

Riverside  Drive,  Washington  Heights  and  the  Fifth  Avenue  Section  Were  the 

High  Spots  of  a  Generally  Good  Market 

Also,  in  the  same  section,  several  dwellings  remodeled  for 
business  changed  hands.  A  line  old  dwelling,  at  9  East  36th 
street,  that  had  been  in  the  ownership  of  one  family  for  two 
generations,  passed  into  the  hands  of  an  adjoining  owmer,  to 
be   superseded  by  a  business   building. 

Medium  sized  apartment  houses  of  all  kinds  were  in  fairly 
good  demand  throughout  the  city.  Dwellings  in  Harlem  and 
in  the  upper  West  Side  formed  an  important  factor  in  the 
trading.  Downtown,  a  few  small  office  and  loft  buildings  were 
sold.  There  was  one  sale  on  lower  Washington  street,  in  the 
Syrian  quarter,  that  would  seem  to  give  indication  of  a  reviving 
activity  there.  The  boom  in  that  part  of  the  city  subsided  more 
than  a  year  ago.  The  latest  sale  was  to  Syrians.  They  are 
proving  to  be  active  participants  in  a  market  that  was  first 
stirred  by  Americans.  There  are  many  retail  and  wholesale 
merchants  among  the  Syrians  in  that  part  of  town.  Greenwich 
Village,  too,  was  a  contributor  of  some  good  sales. 

A  sale  that  smacked  of  early  boom  days  in  the  Bronx  was 
that  of  a  tract  of  4  1/2  acres  on  Westchester  avenue.  It  was 
the  old  Munn  mansion  and  grounds,  a  relic  of  the  suburban  or 
rural  era  of  the  northerly  borough.  It  sounds  odd  to  hear  of 
an  acreage  deal  in  the  Bronx,  now,  whereas  a  decade  ago  many 
old  country  estates  were  sold  that  are  now  covered  with  apart- 
ment houses.  It  all  illustrates  the  fact  that  it  does  not  take 
New  York  City  long  to  grow  in  any  of  its  parts. 


DISTINGUISHING  the  Manhattan  real  estate  market,  this 
week,  was  the  sale  of  the  Foster  mansion,  on  a  large  plot 
at  the  north  corner  of  Riverside  Drive  and  102nd  street.  It 
will  soon  give  way  to  two  large  apartment  houses,  as  the  prop- 
erty was  bought  by  builders.  Thus  passes  one  more  of  the  few 
remaining  large  plots  on  the  lower  part  of  the  Drive  undevel- 
oped on  a  modern  scale.  The  mansion  was  a  landmark  and 
its  passing  emphasizes  the  fact  that  the  taxes  on  a  large  private 
residence,  with  grounds,  on  the  Drive,  nowadays,  makes  such  a 
home  there  almost  prohibitive.  So  many  old  mansions,  through- 
out the  city,  are  steadily  passing  from  view  that  it  is  probable 
that  another  decade  will  witness  very  few  if  any  remaining  on 
Manhattan  Island.  The  mansion  of  Mrs.  Whitelaw  Reid,  on 
Madison  avenue  and  the  one  of  Mrs.  Andrew  Carnegie,  on  Car- 
negie Hill,  are  now  the  most  conspicuous  private  residences  in 
this  city. 

Washington  Heights  was  prominent  in  the  general  dealing 
of  the  week.  An  entire  block  front,  there,  was  hold  for  a  gar- 
age site;  a  large  corner  plot  in  the  former  James  Gordon  Ben- 
nett tract,  on  Bennett  avenue,  changed  hands,  for  improvement ; 
and  some  elevator  apartment  houses  in  the  section  were  bought. 
This  lofty  part  of  town  has  a  steady  popularity  with  apart- 
ment dwellers. 

There  were  several  good  sales  in  the  Fifth  avenue  neighbor- 
hood,  one   a    7-story   loft   building   and   others   of    lesser    size. 


PRIVATE  REALTY  SALES. 


THE  total  number  of  sales  reported,  but  not

Object   to   Proposed   License  La^v 

At  a  special  meeting  of  the  Brooklyn  Real 
Estate  Board,  held  on  February  28.  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Board  voted  against  the  bill  now 
in  the  Assembly,  introduced  by  Mr.  McWhin- 
ney  as  No.  1050,  Introductory  No.  ltH3.  which 
purports  to  license  real  estate  brokers  and 
salesmen,  as  not  meeting  their  ideas  of  a 
proper  license  bill. 

It  is  clearly  indicated  that  the  Board  is  not 
opposed  to  the  principle  of  a  license  bill,  but 
a  careful  consideration  of  this  bill  brought  out 
so  many  objectionable  features  that  a  majority 
of  the  members  voted  against  supporting  the 
same.

Lack    of    Words    Impairs    Lease 

The  owner  of  the  property  adjacent  to  the

York,  to  the  Standard  Oil  Co..  for  J»0  years 
and  at  a  quarterly  rent  of  $62.50n,  but  the 
tease  failed  to  state  whether  the  rent  was  pay- 
able at  the  beginning  or  end  of  the  quarter. 

The  owner  alleged  that  the  words  "in  ad- 
vance" were  in  the  original  agreement,  but 
that  the  Standard  Oil  Co.  struck  them  out 
without  his  knowledge  and  he  signed  the  lease 
Which  did  not  contain  these  words.  He  insisted 
that  the  court  reform  the  lease  because  payment 
at  the  end  of  the  quarter  instead  of  in  advance 
meant  a  loss  of  $3,750  a  year  in  interest,  or 
$371,250;  in  the  0!)  years  at  6  per  cent,  interest 
compounded  semi-annually,  the  loss  would  be 
$1,850,250.

appellate  division  reversed  the  judgment  by 
vote  of  three  to  two,  and  in  an  opinion  by 
Justice  Greenbaum  said  :  "In  construing  the 
lease  before  us  it  is  important  to  recognize  the 
rule  that  the  presumption  is  that  rent  is  not 
payable  until  after  it  has  been  earned,  and  that 
in  the  absence  of  an  express  agreement  to  the 
contrary,  rent  is  payable  at  the  end  of  the  term 
and  not  in  advance."

the    purchase   price.

Labor  Agrees   to   Reform   Pernicious   Union   Practices 

Four  Important  Provisions,  Eliminating  Longstanding  Abuses  in  the  Building 
Industry,  Incorporated  in  Document  Entered  as  Federal  Court  Decree 

crec,  that  the  public  is  a  very  necessary  part  of  any  arrange- 
ments they  may  choose  to  make  amongst  themselves,  and  that 
the  public  will  not  tolerate  a  state  of  affairs  vi'hich  permits 
cf  exorbitant  bonuses  to  the  employees  in  consideration  of 
special  privileges  to  the  employers,  all  at  the  expense  of  the 
public.  In  a  sentence,  this  decree  constitutes  a  new  bill  of 
rights  for  the  home  builder,  the  rent  payer,  the  manufacturer, 
and  the  business  man  who  has  to  build. 

"It  is  only  fair  to  add  that  the  reports  received  by  the 
Department  of  Justice  from  all  of  the  large  cities  in  the  in- 
vestigation of  the  Bricklayers,  Masons  and  Plasterers  Interna- 
tional Union  have  convinced  the  Department  that  the  execu- 
tive heads  in  charge  of  this  organization  have  honorably  and 
unselfishly  striven  to  conscientiously  administer  the  affairs  of 
the  organization  for  the  best  interests  of  the  members  of  that 
organization.  If  they  have  made  agreements  which  are  the 
subject  of  complaint  they  have  at  least  done  so  in  the  honest 
belief  that  they  were  serving  the  best  interests  of  their  .mem- 
bership. The  Department  would  not  have  hesitated  for  a  mo- 
ment to  proceed  by  indictment  as  it  has  done  in  a  number  oi 
other  cases  in  New  York  and  Chicago  and  other  large  cities 
but  did  not  feel  justified  to  pursue  that  course  with  labor 
leaders  who  have  shown  every  desire  to  co-operate  with  the 
Government  in  checking  the  abuses  complained  of  and  who 
have  indulged  in  these  agreements  and  practices  not  for  the 
purpose  of  any  personal  gain  but  with  the  aims  of  their  organi- 
zation at  heart.  We  are  not  dealing  here  with  leaders  of  the 
Brindell  type.  On  the  contrary,  Mr.  Dobson,  Mr.  Preece  and 
Mr.  Price  have  accorded  every  co-operation  that  could  be  de- 
sired to  the  Government  in  eliminating  all  that  was  illegal  and 
purifying  their  organization  and  in  serving  its  best  interests 
within  the  law. 

"In  the  consummation  of  this  splendid  piece  of  constructive 
work  the  .'Attorney  General  expressed  his  highest  appreciation 
to  those  connected,  on  behalf  of  the  Government,  with  v<eeks 
of  preparation  and  investigation  in  order  that  steps  might  be 
taken  to  prevent  the  practices  by  the  degree  enjoined.  Too 
much  credit  cannot  be  given,  especially  to  Col.  Hayward  and 
his  associates  in  the  District  Attorney's  office  in  New  York, 
for  the  great  part  they  played  in  the  accomplishment  of  this 
work.  Other  proceedings  are  in  contemplation  which  will  add  to 
the  benefits  the  public  ill  receive." 

The  cpnsent  decree  signed  in  Washington  last  Friday  became 
operative  on  Tuesday  of  this  week  when  it  was  signed  by 
Federal  Judge  Learned  Hand.  During  the  proceeding  inciden- 
tal to  the  affixing  of  Judge  Hand's  signature  the  spokesmen  for 
three  of  the  New  York  City  locals,  after  an  unsuccessful  at- 
tempt to  obtain  a  stay  of  operation,  requested  the  court  to  elim- 
inate their  respective  organizations  from  the  provisions  of  the 
decree,  pending  further  investigation  of  the  document.  This 
request  was  granted.  Judge  Hand  giving  the  locals  a  week  in 
which  to  decide  whether  they  desire  to  "come  in  or  stay  out." 

It  was  made  clear  by  Col.  Hayward  and  his  assistants  that 
the  refusal  of  the  three  locals  to  become  parties  to  the  de- 
cree for  the  time  being  does  not  in  any  way  exempt  them  from 
the  operation  of  its  provisions.  It  was  further  brought  out 
that  the  International  officials  who  signed  the  decree  pos- 
sessed f\jll  powers  under  the  union  by-laws  to  do  so,  binding 
all  locals  to  the  observance  of  it. 

With   the   exception  of   tlie   three   locals  given   an   additional 


LOCAL  building  and  allied  interests  are  expressing  satis- 
faction over  the  outcome  of  the  conference  held  in 
Washington  last  wee'<  which  resulted  in  an  agreement 
between  the  Federal  officers  of  justice  and  the  International 
executive  officers  of  three  of  the  most  important  building 
trades,  providing  for  the  elimination  of  several  outstanding 
trade  abuses  that  for  many  years  have  been  severe  handicaps 
to  building  progress. 

This  conference  was  held  on  February  24th,  at  the  office  of 
the  .'Attorney  General,  between  representatives  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  Justice,  including  the  .'Attorney  General,  Col.  Guy  D. 
Gofif,  Col.  William  Hayward,  United  States  Attorney  for  the 
Southern  District  of  New  York ;  and  Messrs.  Podcll  and 
L'Esperance  and  Miss  Susan  Brandies,  Special  Counsel  to  the 
United  States  Attorney:  and  Thomas  R.  Preece,  Vice-presi- 
dent ;  William  Dobson,  Secretary ;  Walter  V.  Price,  Special 
Deputy;  and  Messrs.  Keeling  and  Hugg,  of  Indianapolis,  as 
counsel,  representing  the  International  Organization  of  Brick- 
layers, Masons  and  Plasterers,  which  embraces  all  of  the  local 
unions  throughout  the  country,  with  a  membership  of  more 
than  100,000  men. 

This  conference  was  the  culmination  of  an  investigation  con- 
ducted by  Col.  Hayward  and  his  staff  of  Special  Assistants, 
covering  a  period  of  several  months'  work  in  conjunction  with 
the  Department  of  Justice  in  the  investigation  of  building 
trades  and  the  housing  shortage,  which  has  resulted  in  the  re- 
cent indictment  and  conviction  of  large  numbers  of  mannfac- 
turers  and  dealers  in  building  materials,  many  of  whom  have 
paid  large  fines  and  some  of  whom  are  now  serving  sentences 
in  jail. 

As  a  result  of  this  conference  the  executive  heads  of  the 
union  have  signed  and  executed  a  consent  to  the  entry  of  a 
court  decree  in  the  United  States  District  Court  for  the  South- 
ern District  of  New  York  affecting  the  entire  national  organi- 
zation and  all  its  local  unions.  The  decree  directs  that  it  be 
published  by  the  labor  organization  and  read  to  all  of  the  local 
unions  at  their  next  regular  meeting  and  be  incorporated  as 
part  of  the  constitution  of  the  International  Union  and  ap- 
pended  thereto   in   the   next   constitution   to   be   adopted. 

Summing  up  the  work  accomplished  at  the  conference  a 
statement  issued  by  the  Attorney  General's   office  declares: 

"It  may  fairly  be  said  that  this  decree  incorporates  a  set  of 
principles  which  make  for  independence  on  the  part  of  the  em- 
ployer in  the  purchase  of  his  materials  whenever  and  wherever 
he  may  desire.  It  frees  the  employer  from  the  shackles  that 
been  thrown  around  him  by  these  numerous  illegal  restrictions 
as  to  the  quantity  of  work  to  be  done  in  a  given  time  irrespec- 
tive of  whether  his  materials  are  or  are  not  union  made.  On 
the  other  hand,  it  recognizes  all  the  lawful  aims  or  objects  of 
labor  unionism.  It  gives  the  individual  members  of  the  labor 
union  an  opportunity  to  put  forth  the  best  that  is  in  them  in 
the  particular  work  that  they  may  be  doing  and  to  give  full 
swing  to  the  full  development  of  their  individual  capacities  and 
ambitions.  It  makes  for  individual  growth  by  encouraging 
ev.ery  man  to  not  only  do  his  best  but  by  doing  his  best  to  do 
better  than  has  ever  been  done  before.  It  frees  labor  unionism 
from  the  burdens  and  restrictions  that  have  been  imposed  upon 
it  by  some  trade  associations  and  employers'  organizations. 
Finally,  and  the  most  important,  it  gives  the  public  a  chance. 

"Employers  and  employees  must  recognize,  as  does  this  de-

Federal  Court  Decree  Called  "Housing  Bill  of  Rights" 


The  decree  entered  in  the  United  States  District  Court  for 
the  Southern  District  of  New  Yorlc  lays  down  and  adopts 
four   basic   principles,    as   follows: 

FIRST — There  is  to  be  no  limit  to  the  productive  capacity 
of  the  individual  workman  within  the  working-  day  or  any 
other  given  time. 

SECOND — There  is  to  be  no  limit  upon  the  right  of  the 
employers  to  purchase  his  materials  wherever  and  when- 
ever and  from  whomever  he  may  choose,  whether  those 
materials  be  union  made  or  other^vise. 

THIP^D — There  is  to  be  no  favoritism  shown  by  organized 
labor  towards  employers  or  trade  associations  or  contract- 
ors' associations  and  no  discriminations  are  to  be  indulged 
in  against  the  independent  employer  who  may  not  be  a 
member  of  such  an  association. 

FOURTH — The  labor  organization  is  not  to  be  used  or 
permit  itself  to  be  used  by  material  men  or  contractors  or 
sub-contractors  as  an  instrument  for  the  collection  of  debts 
or  enforcement  of  the  payment  of  alleged  claims. 

An  explanatory  statement  issued  by  the  Department  of 
Justice   in   Washington   declares: 

"The  first  of  these  principles  is  directed  against  a  vicious 
practice  which  is  more  or  less  an  outgrowth  of  the  cost-plus 
system  w^hich  prevailed  during  the  war  period.  Various  local 
unions  of  this  and  other  labor  organizations  have  from  time 
to  time  tacitly  and  often  openly  limited  their  men  in  the 
quantity  of  the  work  to  be  performed  by  them  within  a 
given  time.  Some  locals  have  enforced  the  rule  that  a  brick- 
layer must  lay  only  so  many  bricks  an  hour  or  a  mason  set 
only  a  certain  quantity  of  stone  a  day,  and  so  on  down  the 
line.  It  is  gratifying  to  note  that  the  executive  heads  of 
this  national  labor  organization  have  for  many  years  con- 
demned this  practice.  It  is  a  heritage  of  the  war-period 
when  unscrupulous  contractors  operating  under  the  cost- 
plus  system  were  perfectly  content  to  have  fifty  men  on  a 
job  where  half  or  one-quarter  of  the  number  could  do  the 
work.  Labor  has  for  years  contended  that  it  is  not  a  com- 
modity and  not  to  be  regarded  as  a  commodity.  That  prin- 
ciple has  now  been  incorporated  in  our  basic  law  and  is 
recognized  and  expressed  in  the  first  sentence  of  the  Clay- 
ton Act. 

"In  line  with  that  principle  a  laborer  is  a  human  being 
and  human  beings  are  capable  of  different  and  individual 
productive  capacities  in  time,  quantity  and  quality  of  work. 
The  ambitious  workman  must  be  given  a  full  and  ample  op- 
portunity. He  must  not  be  reduced  to  the  level  of  his  most 
inferior  co-worker.  This  decree  in  spirit  is  in  hearty  sym- 
pathy with  all  the  laudable  aims  and  ambition  and  with  the 
urogress  which  has  been  made  by  labor  unions.  It  is  direct- 
ed against  the  abuses  that  have  inevitably  grown  up.  Noth- 
ing in  the  decree  proliibits  the  regulation  of  the  hours  or 
conditions  of  labor.  It  does,  however,  unqualifiedly  forbid 
any  concerted  effort  at  curtailment  of  production  by  any 
such  limitations  upon  the  productive  capacity  of  the  individ- 
ual. In  a  word,  it  eliminates  the  penalizing  of  ability  and 
the   discouragement    of   efficiency. 

"The  second  is  directed  against  the  various  discrimina- 
tions which  have  been  indulged  in  by  labor  organizations 
engaged  in  the  building  trades  whereby  they  sought  to  re- 
strict a  builder  from  purchasing  and  importing  the  finished 
matirials  from  thi.'  sources  of  tlieir  production.  By  way  of 
example,  for  many  years  a  rule  has  prevailed  that  stone 
■would  not  be  set  by  members  of  this  union  if  an  employer 
or  builder  brought  stone  finished  and  dressed  at  the  quarry 
and  imported  it  to  the  place  where  it  was  to  be  used  in  con- 
struction work.  In  otlier  words,  in  case  of  construction 
work  in  all  of  the  larger  cities  of  the  land  the  labor  union 
required  that  the  stone  be  imported  in  the  rough  and 
dressed  and   finished   locally  by   union  labor. 

"In  addition  to  that  various  other  restrictions  have  been 
Imposed  by  labor  organizations  not  only  upon  materials 
that  were  non-union  made  but  likewise  even  though  sucli 
materials  were  union  made,  which  restrictions  sought  to  dic- 
tate to  the  builder  the  source  and  the  locality  from  which 
he  shall  purchase  his  materials.  The  effect  upon  the  com- 
munity  of   any   such   restrictions   can   be   readily   imagined. 


They  constitute  undoubtedly  one  of  the  most  potent  factors 
for  the  high  cost  of  building,  the  consequent  sliortage  of 
housing  and  the  enormous  increases  in  rent  that  have  ob- 
tained during  and  since  the  war  period.  Since  the  decision 
in  the  Duplex  case  and  otlier  similar  cases  any  such  re- 
strictions are  clearly  illegal.  They  constitute  a  stumbling 
block   in   the   path    of   interstate   trade   and   commerce. 

"The  third  is  directed  against  a  series  of  nation-wide 
abuses  which  have  assumed  various  forms  and  aspects  in 
the  relations  between  organized  labor  and  trade  associa- 
tions. Innumerable  instances  have  been  found  in  the  vari- 
ous building  trades  where  in  consideration  of  some  bonus 
or  other  inducement  offered  to  the  labor  organization  the 
latter  would  in  turn  agree  to  grant  a  preference  or  to  fur- 
nish some  cooperation  to  the  trade  association  member  as 
against  his  independent  competitor. 

"Take  the  case  that  arose  recently  in  the  New  York  Dis- 
trict by  way  of  example.  An  individual  had  several  millions 
of  dollars  available  for  the  erection  of  four  hundred  modest 
homes  which  he  was  then  planning  right  in  the  vicinity  of 
New  York.  He  was  not  a  member  of  the  Tile  Contractors' 
Association.  Under  the  agreement,  however,  that  then  pre- 
vailed between  the  contractors'  association  and  a  local  of 
this  labor  organization  the  materials  had  to  be  purchased 
from  the  same  contractor  who  supplied  the  labor.  This 
builder  found  himself  in  a  position,  therefore,  that  he  could 
not  secure  the  necessary  labor  if  he  made  any  attempt  to 
purchase  his  tile  other  than  as  directed  under  the  terms  of 
this  agreement.  If  he  attempted  to  buy  his  tile  directly 
from  the  original  manufacturer  at  a  reduced  price  of  prob- 
ably 60  to  100  per  cent.,  the  penalty  would  be  that  the  local 
labor  organization  would  refuse  to  set  any  such  tile.  As  a 
result  the  four  hundred  homes  were  never  built.  Labor 
itself  suffered  the  real  loss,  not  only  by  not  being  employed 
but  by  not  having  the  model  homes  which  it  was  the  inten- 
tion of  the  capitalist  to  build.  These  general  practices  of 
preferences  and  special  agreements  made  for  the  benefit  of 
contractors'  associations  have  grown  into  a  veritable  nat- 
ional system  in  the  building  trades.  The  inevitable  effect 
was  not  only  to  eliminate  all  competition  in  the  field  in- 
volved but  of  necessity  to  increase  the  number  of  unem- 
ployed and  strictly  to  create  an  unlimited  monopoly  in  the 
hands  of  these  trade  associations.  An  independent  dealer  i'n 
any  one  of  these  building  trades  found  it  an  impossible  task 
to  develop  his  business  because  these  associations  had  first 
and  oftentimes  exclusive  call  upon  the  local  unions. 

"It  is  manifest  that  such  a  state  of  affairs  is  likewise  one 
of  the  most  potent  factors  in  the  exorbitant  prices  that  have 
prevailed  in  building  and  related  materials,  all  of  which 
have  tended  to  create  and  continue  the  acute  shortage  of 
housing  in  every  large  city  in  the  land. 

"The  fourth  strikes  at  wiiat  has  likewise  become  a  gen- 
eral practice  for  constractors  and  builders  to  use  labor 
unions  as  an  instrument  for  the  collections  of  their  debts. 
Instances  have  been  reported  to  the  Department  from  both 
Chicago  and  New  York  and  no  doubt  the  practice  prevails 
in  the  other  large  cities  where  the  labor  union  refused  to 
work  on  the  completion  of  a  job  where  they  had  been  com- 
pensated fully  and  had  every  assurance  of  future  compen- 
sation only  because  some  previous  owner  of  the  same  build- 
ing had  defaulted  in  a  payment  to  same  material  man. 
Oftentimes  it  was  shown  that  the  exaction  and  demands  of 
the   material  man  were  unfounded. 

"In  one  case  in  New  York  a  collection  system  was  used 
which  resulted  in  extorting  payment  of  the  same  claim  two 
and  three  times  over  again.  The  contractor  by  virtue  of 
this  collusion  with  the  labor  unions  was  in  the  all-powerful 
position  of  exacting  his  full  demand  whether  in  justice  he 
was  entitled  to  it  or  not  by  the  mere  threat  that  the  dealer 
could  not  secure  the  labor  to  complete  or  finish  his  job  if 
he  did  not  pay.  At  the  same  time  the  decree  recognizes 
that  the  labor  union  should  not  be  required  to  continue  the 
completion  of  a  building  where  its  own  men  have  not  been 
paid.  Many  members  of  the  union  were  the  unwilling  vic- 
tims of  such  a  collection  system  and  they  will  welcome  free- 
dom from  any  such  control." 


week  in  which  to  subscribe  to  the  provisions  of  the  decree  all 
of  the  New  York  locals  affected  have  signed  and  the  decree  will 
be   incorporated    in    their   by-laws. 

Architects,  contractors  and  sub-contractors  are  tinanimous 
in  their  opinions  that  the  consummation  of  this  agreement 
will  be  extremely  beneficial  to  the  building  industry  as  a  whole. 
Although  at  present  only  three  trades  are  intimately  affected 
by  its  provisions,  there  seems  to  be  no  doubt  that  other  trades 
will  be  influenced  to   adopt  reforms  along  similar  lines. 

In  the  discussions  which  occurred  among  builders  this  week, 
having  for  their  subjects  the  reforms  provided  by  the  Wash- 
ington agreement,  frequent  references  were  made  to  the  evi- 
dence of  pernicious  and  corrupt  practices  on  the  part  of  building 


trade  unions  brought  out  by  Samuel  Untermyer  in  the  hear- 
ings before  the  Lockwood  Committee  and  this  committee  and 
its  special  counsel  were  accorded  a  large  share  of  the  credit 
for  the  beneficent  results  obtained  by  the  Federal  officials. 

Although  a  large  percentage  of  those  affiliated  with  the  build- 
ing industry  have  not  always  been  in  accord  with  either  the 
plans  or  the  methods  of  the  Lockwood  Committee  during  the 
course  of  its  hearings,  practically  all  agree  that  in  bringing 
out  the  evidence  of  corrupt  trade  practices  which  subsequently 
were  taken  up  by  Federal  agents  of  justice,  this  committee 
and  its  counsel  have  accomplished  a  reform  that  for  many 
years  has  been  one  of  the  worst  phases  of  building  trade 
union  domination.

Substantial  Increase  Noted  in  Local  Housing  Projects 

Residential  Construction  Outstanding  Feature  of  Forthcoming  Building  Season 
Demonstrated  by  F.  W.  Dodge  Company  Tabulations 


SIGNS  of  the  approaching  spring  building  revival  are  seen  in 
the  increased  number  of  new  building  and  engineering  opera- 
tions that  have  been  reported  as  being  planned  during  the  past 
projects  recently  announced  leads  to  the  prediction  that  operations 
week  or  ten  days.  The  improvement  in  the  number  of  contemplated 
will  be  started  earlier  than  usual  this  year  and  also  that  the  peak  of 
activity  will  come  during  the  late  spring  or  first  month  of  summer. 
The  only  drawback  will  be  a  shortage  of  materials  and  current 
reports  show  the  local  markets  to  be  in  better  position  than  they 
were  only  a  few  weeks  ago. 

Figures  tabulated  by  F.  W.  Dodge  Company  show  that  during 
the  eighth  week  of  1922,  architects  and  engineers  reported  work  on 
plans  for  432  new  structural  projects,  representing  a  total  outlay

the  State  to  pay  contractors  more  than 
$3,000,000  in  excess  of  stipulated  con- 
tracts. The  law  was  enacted  after  the 
contractors  had  represented  to  the  Legis- 
lative leaders  that  the  war  had  increased 
the  cost  of  labor  and  materials  beyond 
their  anticipations  at  the  time  they  made 
the  contracts.  Large  sums  already  have 
been  paid  out  to  contractors  on  the  barge 
canal  on  a  like  plea.

Forty   Years   of   Electrical    Service 

While  friends  of  Thomas  A.  Edison  are 
still  congratulating  him  on  the  occasion  of 
his  75th  anniversary,  his  associates  in  the 
electrical  industry  are  planning  additional 
honors  tor  later  in  the  year,  for  1922  is 
not  only  the  75th  anniversary  of  Mr.  Edi- 
son's birth,  but  it  is  the  fortieth  anni- 
versary of  the  completion  by  him  of  the 
beginning  of  New  York's  present  electrical 
system. 

On  September  4,  18S2,  New  York's  first 
central  station  and  underground  system 
of  distribution  were  completed  and  placed 
in  operation  according  to  plans  conceived 
and  executed  by  Mr.  Edison.  By  many,  this 
is  considered  Mr.  Edison's  greatest  contri- 
bution to  mankind  and  the  principles  that 
were  laid  down  in  the  construction  of  that 
station  formed  the  basis  of  similar  stations 
all  over  the  world.  Indeed,  there  has  been 
but  little  deviation  from  them  in  all  the 
years   that  have   passed. 

The  original  generating  station  occu- 
pied a  reconstructed  brick  warehouse  at 
255  and  257  Pearl  street  and  supplied  a 
distribution  system  serving  only  a  square 
mile  of  territory.  There  were  fewer  than 
sixty  customers  when  the  current  was 
turned  on  in  the  afternoon  of  September 
4,  1882.  Current  was  used  only  for  light- 
ing, and  there  were  but  1,200  lamps  in  the 
customer's  premises.  Today  the  Edison 
system  in  New  York  supplies  296.560  cus- 
tomers and  is  used  for  lighting  nine  mil- 
lion lamps,  for  operating  688,000  horse- 
I>ower  in  motors  and  for  he.ating  purposes 
to   the   extent   of    12,800   kilowatts. 

On  the  occasion  of  the  thirty-fifth- an- 
niversary of  the  beginning  of  service,  The 
American  Scenic  and  Historic  Preserva- 
tion Society  and  The  New  York  Edison 
Company  caused  to  be  placed  on  the  site  of 
the  original  station  a  bronze  tablet  setting 
forth  the  facts  connected  with  this  impor- 
tant  event   in   electrical   history. 

The  details  of  this  year's  observance 
have  not  yet  been  decided,  but  it  is  expect- 
ed to  arrange  a  commemorative  celebra- 
tion to  take  place  on  Sept.  4  next.

RECORD     AND     GUIDE 


March  4,  1922 


CURRENT    BUILDING    OPERATIONS 


PROSPECTS  of  greater  harmony  be- 
tween employers  and  workmen  in 
three- of  the  most  important  of  the  build- 
ing trades,  brought  about  by  the  agree- 
ment entered  into  at  Washington  last 
week,  has  been  the  principal  topic  of  dis- 
cussion among  builders  and  allied  inter- 
est during"  the  past  week.  Architects, 
contractors  and  material  manufacturers 
and  dealers  all  feel  confident  that  this 
agreement  will  be  of  tremendous  benefit 
to  the  industry  as  a  whole  and  will  lead 
to  similar  codes  of  reform  in  other  trades. 

Locally  the  building  situation  is  shaping 
up  to  the  satisfaction  of  all  concerned. 
There  is  a  large  amount  of  new  construc- 
tion scheduled  for  a  start  during  the  early 
spring  months  and  architects  and  engi- 
neers are  unusually  busy  on  plans  for 
projects  that  will  mature  within  a  rela- 
tively short  time.  Contractors  are  re- 
ceiving more  invitations  to  bid  than  they 
are  able  to  handle,  and  many  of  the  jobs 
are   very   substantial   propositions. 

A  week  ago  considerable  doubt  was  ex- 
pressed over  the  decided  shortage  of  com- 
mon brick,  but  the  mild  weather  and  rains 
of  the  past  week  have  broken  up  the  ice 
in  the  Hudson,  and  there  is  every  liktli- 
hood  that  sufficient  common  brick  will  ar- 
rive during  the  next  day  or  so  to  supply 
all  immediate  requirements.  Other  mate- 
rials are  available  in  suflicient  quantities 
tor  every  demand  and  prices  are  steady 
and  no  important  changes  have  been  an- 
liounced. 

Common  Brick — Although  the  New  York 
wholesale  market  for  Hudson  River  com- 
mon brick  is  entirely  cleaned  out  at  pres- 
ent, the  last  three  barges  having  been 
bought  in  by  Brooklyn  dealers  early  this 
week,  no  anxiety  about  the  future  supply 
is  felt,  as  the  warm  weather  of  the  past 
week,  assisted  by  the  rains  and  fog,  have 
opuned  navigation  as  far  north  as  Haver- 
straw,  and  in  all  likelihood  several  barges 
will  arrive  before  the  end  of  this  week. 
Tuesday  morning  a  string  of  empty  barges 
were  towed  up-river  and  this  tow  will  re- 
turn at  once  with  several  barges  that 
have  been  loaded  for  some  time  in  antici- 
pation of  the  first  thaw.  There  is  every 
reason  to  expect  that  the  New  York  dis- 
trict will  he  adequately  supplied  with  com- 
mon brick  from  up-river  plants  before  the 
end  of  this  week.  As  a  matter  of  fact, 
there  has  been  no  real  shortage  in  this 
commodity,  as  considerable  brick  has  been 
coming  into  New  York  from  both  the  South 
River  and  Raritan  districts  in  New  Jer- 
sey. Last  week,  through  an  error,  the 
Record  and  Guide  published  the  quotation 
of   $20   a   thousand.   New   York,   on  Raritan 


brick.  The  current  and  correct  quotation 
on  this  brick  is  $16.50  to  $17  a  thousand, 
and  at  no  time  this  winter  has  the  price 
of  Raritan  brick  been  more  than  .^7  a 
thousand  in  New  York. 

Summary  —  Transactions  in  the  North 
River  market  for  common  brick  for  the 
week  ending  Thursday,  March  2,  1922.  Con- 
dition of  market:  Demand  light;  prices 
firm  and  unchanged.  Quotations:  Hudson 
Rivers,  $17  a  thousand  to  dealers  in  cargo 
lot  alongside  dock.  Number  of  cargoes 
arrived,  none;  sales,  3.  Distribution: 
Brooklyn,   3. 


Structural  Steel — Although  no  large 
tonnage  orders  have  been  booked  during 
the  past  week,  the  local  steel  industry  has 
been  fairly  busy  and  all  signs  point  to  a 
steady  increase  in  the  volume  of  commit- 
ments. Recent  orders  for  fabricated  ma- 
terial to  be  used  in  building  operations- 
have  ranged  in  the  neighborhood  of  1,000 
tons  each  and  were  mostly  for  apartment 
house  projects.  Several  important  officfr 
building  projects  are  on  the  boards .  and 
will  likely  be  released  for  bids  within  the 
next  week  or  so.  There  is  a  feeling 
throughout  the  building  industry  that  con-

ditions  are  steadily  improving-  and  that 
during:  the  next  month  or  six  weeks  a  de-

Steel  prices  are  steady  with  quotations  on

Buidei-M*  Hardware — The  market  for 
builders'  hard\^'are  is  quite  active  consid- 
ering: the  period  of  the  year  and  all  signs 
point  to  a  steady  increase  in  demand  as 
the  spring-  approaches  and  construction 
improves.  During:  the  past  week  or  so 
sales  have  dropped  off  to  some  extent,  but 
the  decline   in  sales  is  due  entirely  to  the 


inclement  weather  that  practically  stop- 
ped building  for  a  time.  Jobbers  are  get-

Electrical  Supplies — Business  in  the  local 
market  for  electrical  material  and  sup- 
plies is  fairly  satisfactory,  with  demand 
steady  and  prices  practically  unchangxd. 
There  are  excellent  prospects  that  the  de- 
mand will  shortly  increase  as  a  vast 
amount  of  new  construction  is  now   plan-

ned  for  a  start  just  as  soon  as  weather 
conditions  permit.  Speculative  building 
interests  promise  to  be  the  most  proliflc 
source  of  business  during  the  coming  sea- 
son if  the  rate  plans  are  being  prepared 
for  multi-family  houses  and  small  dwell- 
ings is  any  criterion.  .Tobbers'  stocks  are 
fairly  complete  and  adequate  supplies  of 
material  will  be  available  for  all  require- 
ments. 

Linseed  Oil — The  market  for  this  com- 
modity is  very  dull  at  present  and  no  great 
improvement  in  conditions  is  anticipated 
until  the  general  trade  situation  has  un- 
dergone a  change.  Demand  is  light  and 
conlim-d  almost  entirely  to  small-lot  or- 
ders. Buyers  are  making  purchases  only 
for  immediate  requirements  and  are  ap- 
parently hesitating  about  ordering  for 
.stock  until  they  have  some  assurance  that 
prices  are  settled.  At  present  linseed  oil 
prices   are   firm    and   without   change. 

Ca-ft  Iron  Pipe — Business  is  holding-  ui3 
in  a  satisfactory  manner  and  for  the  most 
liart  manufacturers  are  well  pleased  with 
the  prospects  for  the  coming  season.  Al- 
'hough  there  is  but  little  new  municipal 
husiness  on  the  books  at  present  private 
liuying  has  been  active  and  there  is  con- 
siderable new  business  in  sight.  Produc- 
ers are  far  more  busy  now  than  they 
were  a  year  ago  and  with  prospects  for 
an  early  revival  of  building  operations 
there  is  every  reason  for  optimism.  Prices 
are  steady,  witli  New  York  quotations  as 
follows:  .HT.SO  per  net  ton  for  G  in.  and 
larger:  $52.30  for  4  in.  and  5  in.,  and 
162.30  for  3  in. 

\Vindow  Glass — Demand  for  both  plate 
:in(1  window  glass  has  slowed  down  to 
Slime  extent  during-  the  past  few  weeks, 
liut  prospects  are  excellent  for  a  decided 
improvement  in  business  as  soon  as  the 
.spring  building  program  gets  underway. 
.According  to  plans  now  in  progress  there 
will  be  a  tremendous  volume  of  multi- 
fiimily  house  construction  next  season  and 
speculative  builders  declare  their  opera- 
tions will  only  be  limited  by  a  shortage  of 
materials  and  labor.  Dealers  in  window 
glass  are  optimistic  regarding  the  future 
and  are  arranging:  their  stocks  in  prepar- 
iition  for  unusually  heavy  glas's  require- 
nvnts.     Prices   are   firm   and    unchanged. 

\!ul.>i — The  market  for  both  cut  and  wire 
nails  is  slow  at  present  owing  to  the  re- 
rent  falling  off  in  active  construction. 
There  is  considerable  early  spring  con- 
struction in  sight,  however,  and  the  de- 
mand should  improve  within  the  next  few 
weeks.  Prices  are  steady  and  no  changes 
have  been  reported  from  the  mills.

Lockwood  Week  at  Albany 

This  has  been  a  right-lively  sort  of  week  in  Albany,  and 
the  scenes  at  the  State  Capital  were  still  shifting  from  hour 
to  hour  as  this  edition  of  the  Record  and  Guide  went  to 
press.  The  majesty  of  the  Governor  has  been  temporarily 
obscured  and  the  dignity  and  authority  of  the  Legislature 
temporarily  brushed  aside  to  give  the  Lockwood  Commit- 
tee a  sort  of  field  tournament  all  its  own. 

The  opening  event  of  Lockwood  Week  at  Albany  was 
the  presentation  on  Monday  evening  (after  it  had  been 
printed  in  all  the  newspapers)  of  what  was  described  as 
the  "Intermediate  Report"  of  the  Joint  Legislative  Com- 
mittee on  Housing.  At  the  same  time  the  news  flashed  over 
the  wires  that  Mr.  Samuel  Untermyer,  Chief  Counsel  to 
the  committee,  was  hastening  up  from  Florida  to  take  his 
place  in  the  week's  picture.  There  followed  reports  that 
the  Lockwood  Committee  had  not,  as  had  been  stated, 
emasculated  the  report  and  bills  prepared  by  Mr.  Unter- 
myer in  Florida.  Mr.  Untermyer  hastened  from  New 
York  to  Albany  on  Tuesday,  his  progress  toward  the  State 
Capital  being  boomed  with  statements  as  to  what  course 
the  powers  at  Albany  would  be  demanded  to  pursue  in  the 
matter  of  the  Lockwood  bills.  After  the  committee's  Chief 
Counsel  had  arrived  at  Albany  reports  leaked  out  that 
unless  the  Legislature  and  the  Governor  gave  the  com- 
mittee the  laws  they  demanded  Mr.  Untermyer  might  re- 
sign as  Qiief  Counsel,  and  Senator  Lockwood  and  some 
of  his  associates  might  refuse  to  do  any  more  investigating. 
Then  came  the  hearings  before  legislative  committees  on 
the  twenty-three  bills  offered  by  Senator  Lockwood  to 
make  a  home  spring  up  for  every  family  now  without  one, 
and  to  get  matters  so  arranged  that  no  married  man  need, 
because  of  circumstances,  live  under  the  same  roof  with  his 
mother-in-law. 

Senator  Lockwood  and-  Mr.  Untermyer  made  it  plain 
to  all  at  Albany  that  they  had  not  been  investigating  the 
housing  shortage  all  this  time  for  nothing.  They  intimated 
quite  clearly  that  they  knew  the  existing  situation  and 
what  should  be  done  to  remedy  it.  What  made  this  such 
a  right-lively  week  at  Albany  was  that  some  members  of 
the  Legislature,  and  even  Governor  Miller  himself,  pre- 
sumed to  be  so  bold  as  to  question  the  efficacy  or  the 
desirability  of  some  of  the  remedies  upon  which  Senator 
Lockwood  and  Chief  Counsel  Untermyer  were  insisting. 

It  must  be  admitted,  even  by  the  Lockwood  Committee 
and  those  associated  with  it,  that  the  Legislature  and  the 
Governor  are  entitled  to  have  something  to  say  about  what 
laws  shall  be  enacted  in  this  state,  either  affecting  the 
housing  shortage  or  bearing  on  any  other  matter  in  which 
the  people  of  the  state  have  a  vital  interest.  The  Lockwood 
Committee  is  an  important  body,  and  it  has  accomplished 
some  very  good  things,  but  under  the  provisions  of  the 
State  Constitution  the  Senate  and  Assembly,  and  not  the 
Lockwood  Committee,  is  clothed  with  authority  to  make 
laws  and  is  made  responsible  for  such  laws  as  are  sent  to 
the  Governor.  So  also  under  the  Constitution  the  Gov- 
ernor alone  has  the  power  to  approve  or  reject  such  laws. 


Under  the  circumstances,  it  is  but  natural  and  proper  that 
the  Legislature  and  the  Governor  should  insist  on  holding 
their  own  views  as  to  the  best  methods  of  dealing  with  the 
housing  shortage.  In  fact,  it  should  be  borne  in  mind  by 
Senator  Lockwood  and  his  associates  that  even  if  the  Gov- 
ernor should  resign  and  all  of  the  Legislature  resign,  ex- 
cepting members  of  the  Housing  Committee,  the  Lock- 
woodites  still  would  be  without  authority  to  force  their 
laws  on  the  people  of  the  state  without  first  getting  the 
Constitution  amended  so  as  to  clothe  them  with  complete 
and  final  power  in  the  premises.  And  everybody  who 
knows  anything  about  the  State  Constitution  knows  that 
it  requires  at  least  two  years  to  get  that  important  instru- 
ment amended.  Many  competent  observers  believe  that 
whatever  remains  of  the  housing  shortage  will  have  dis- 
appeared within  two  years,  especially  if  the  compulsory 
use  of  Lockwood  remedies  is  checked  in  time. 


Big  Year  for  National  Construction 

With  reports  of  increased  commitments  for  building 
coming  from  practically  every  section  in  the  country  there 
remains  but  little  doubt  that  the  current  year  will  stand  out 
prominently  in  construction  annals  as  a  period  of  real 
progress  and  prosperity.  At  present  there  are  very  marked 
indications  that  1922  will  break  all  existing  records  for 
the  number  of  new  building  operations,  jjoth  projected  and 
started,  as  well  as  for  the  total  value  of  this  work. 

Statistics  for  February,  as  tabulated  by  the  F.  W.  Dodge 
Company,  show  that  commitments  for  building  and  engi- 
neering construction  in  the  twenty-seven  Northeastern 
States  totalled  $177,365,000.  The  February  total  is  seven 
per  cent,  greater  than  that  of  the  preceding  month  and 
represents  an  increase  of  approximately  seventy-three  per 
cent,  when  compared  with  the  total  for  the  corresponding 
period  of  192L 

The  building  totals  for  both  January  and  February  are 
a  most  significant  indication  of  the  approach  of  a  building 
revival  that  is  destined  to  become  epochal  in  the  history  of 
the  industry.  The  combined  totals  for  the  first  two  months 
of  this  year  are  about  sixty  per  cent,  greater  than  the  total 
for  the  same  months  of  last  year.  This  in  itself  shows  con- 
clusively that  the  predictions  of  a  national  building  boom  in 
1922  are  in  all  likelihood  to  be  fulfilled,  and  when  it  is  real- 
ized that  the  total  of  the  newly-projected  building  and  en- 
gineering construction  amounted  to  more  than  $800,000,000 
during  January  and  February,  1922,  or  more  than  double 
the  value  of  the  work  actually  placed  under  contract  in 
the  same  period,  the  last  doubt  as  to  the  availability  of 
profitable  business  for  contractors,  sub-contractors  and  ma- 
terial manufacturers  and  dealers  must  be  dispelled. 

Construction  totals  for  the  local  territory,  which  includes 
all  of  New  York  State  and  New  Jersey,  north  of  Trenton, 
make  a  showing  even  more  favorable  by  comparison  with 
preceding  years  than  do  those  for  the  entire  territory  cov- 
ered by  the  F.  W.  Dodge  Company  service.  Commitments 
for  Greater  New  York  show  a  marked  improvement  in 
the  outlook  for  building  activity  during  the  coming  season.

RECORD    AND     GUIDE 


Local  building  interests  are  well  satisfied  as  to  the  amount 
of  new  work  scheduled,  and  their  only  remaining  doubt 
as  to  the  opportunities  of  the  coming  season  is  whether  or 
not  the  supply  of  labor  and  materials  will  be  adequate  to 
the  actual  requirements. 

The  supply  of   labor  and  materials  is  the  most  serious 


March  11,  1922 

problem  now  confronting 'the  local  building  industry.  Al- 
ready there  exists  a  shortage  of  materials,  notably  common 
brick,  and  just  as  soon  as  weather  conditions  permit  a  start 
on  the  vast  amount  of  scheduled  construction  there  will 
be  a  call  for  both  men  and  materials  that  will  strain  the 
facilities  of  the  industry  to  the  utmost. 


Board  of  Aldermen  Fix  Uniform  Tax  Rate  of  $2.74  per  $100 


A  UNIFORM  tax  rate  of  $2.74  per  $100  for  all  five  bor- 
oughs of  the  city  was  adopted  by  the  Board  of  Alder- 
men at  its  meeting  on  March  3.  The  amount  added  for 
local  improvements  in  each  borough  brings  the  rate  up  to  $2.75 
in  Manhattan  and  the  Bronx;  $2.76  in  Brooklyn;  $2.78  in 
Richmond  and  $2.79  in  Queens.  These  figures  are  all  lower 
than  the  corresponding  ones  for  last  year,  but  much  higher 
than  for  any  previous  year.  Below  are  given  the  rates  since 
1916,  which  includes  the  last  three  years  of  Mayor  Mitchel's 
administration:

Manhattan     2.04

Queens    2.06 

Richmond    2.13 

The  tentative  real  estate  valuations  on  which  the  assessments 
are  based  given  out  last  October  1,  were  $9,947,323,092,  The 
apparent  increase  in  these  valuations  since  then  is  due  to  the 
inclusion  in  the  present  figures  of  the  special  State  franchise 
taxes  amounting  to  $426,500,910.  Deducting  this  item  from  the 
total  the  final  real  estate  assessments  show  a  drop  from  the 
tentative  figures  of  $123,832,167.  The  loss  on  personal  property 
assessments  from  the  tentative  figures  is  $456,872,905. 

The  Department  of  Taxes  and  Assessments  contends  that 
there  has  been  no   such   loss — $123,832,167^on   the   real   estate

assessments,  as  the  figures  in  the  comptroller's  office  show. 
Members  of  the  Tax  Department  pointed  out  that  this  apparent 
loss  includes  property  exempt  from  taxes  under  the  tax  or- 
dinance, which  could  not  be  wholly  determined  at  the  time  the 
tentative   figures   were  made   up,   and  other   items. 

The  Board  of  Aldermen  adopted  Comptroller  Craig's  cer« 
tification  that  the  1922  budget  was  $350,601,570.07.  For  neces- 
sary city  expenses  more  than  $261,500,000  is  required,  while 
more  than  $9,988,000  is  needed  for  county  purposes,  the  balance 
being  allotted  to  the  payment  of  the  State  tax  and  for  re- 
demption of  bonds.  The  total  assessed  valuation  of  personal 
and  real  estate  for  1922,  on  which  the  tax  rate  is  computed 
according  to  the  report  of  the  Department  of  Taxes  and  As- 
sessments, amounts  to  $10,460,599,880,  divided  as  follows:

Proper  Method  of 

C>0L.  H.  C.  BOYDEN,  at  a  recent  meeting  of  the  Building 
i  Managers  and  Owners  Association,  discussed  the  ques- 
tion of  the  proper  mixing  of  concrete.  He  said: 
"Concrete  must  never  be  put  in  dry  nor  as  soup  but  as  a 
workable  plastic  mixture,  one  single  pint  of  water  per  stack 
of  cement  more  than  enough  mixes  the  concrete  and  you  might 
just  as  well  have  taken  out  2  or  3  lbs.  of  cement  and  thrown  it 
away.  Concrete  must  be  clean,  for  one-thousandth  part  of 
organic  impurities  in  terms  of  the  weight  of  the  sand  will  reduce 
the  strength  of  your  concrete  over  25  per  cent. 

"Remember  that  the  hardening,  or  setting,  so-called,  of  con- 


Mixing  Concrete 

Crete  is  not  a  dry-out  process,  but  it  is  a  chemical  action  which 
takes  place  between  the  cement  and  the  mixing  water.  It 
requires  exactly  the  right  amount  of  water,  no  more  nor  no 
less,  but  that  right  amount  having  been  put  in,  it  must  be  kept 
there  until  the  chemical  action  has  taken  place.  Consequently, 
if  you  will  cover  your  floors,  driveways,  sidewalks,  roads  and 
pavements  or  any  concrete  with  water,  damp  sand,  wet  earth, 
and  keep  them  wet  for  21  days  after  laying,  you  will  more  than 
double  the  compressive  strength  and  more  than  double  the 
ability  to  withstand  depreciation.  So  remember  finally,  use 
less  water  in  the  mixing  and  more  water  in  the  curing  than  is 
commonly  being  used  today."

Five  Measures  Extending  Provisions  of  Emergency  Rent  Laws  Will  Be  Passed

ALTHOUGH  the  final  days  of  the  session  have  been 
reached,  the  legislative  leaders  arranged  for  extended 
hearings  yesterday  and  today  on  the  various  bills  which 
constitute  the  Lockwood  Committee's  program  to  solve  the

Committee,  came  to  Albany  on  Tuesday  and  has  been  the  main 
advocate  of  the  committee's  bills  in  the  subsequent  develop- 
ments. A  good  deal  of  opposition  to  some  of  the  Lockwood 
Committee's  measures  has  developed  at  these  hearings. 

Prior  to  the  arrival  of  Mr.  Untermyer  in  Albany,  the  Cities 
Committee  of  the  Senate  had  reported  favorably  five  of  the 
Lockwood  measures  bearing  directly  on  the  housing  situation. 
These  five  measures,  all  of  which  undoubtedly  will  be  passed 
by  the  Legislature  and  signed  by  Governor  Miller,  are  : 

1 — E.xtending  the  provisions  of  the  Emergency  Rent  Laws  to 
February  IS,  1924; 

2 — Extending  the  Tax  Exemption  Law  to  dwellings  the  con- 
struction of  which  begins  before  April  1,  1923; 

3 — Protecting  home  buyers  against  foreclosure  proceedings 
up  to  February  15,  1924; 

4 — Fi.xing  the  assessed  valuation  of  apartments  and  dwelling 
houses  as  the  basis  for  determining  reasonable  rent; 

5 — Clearing  up  ambiguous  provisions  of  the  Emergency  Rent 
Laws. 

Mr.  Untermyer  made  a  strong  defense  of  and  a  vigorous 
plea  for  the  legislative  program  framed  by  the  committee,  at 
a  hearing  before  the  Senate  Cities  Committee  opening  yester- 
day. Before  the  hearing  he  was  closeted  with  Governor  Miller 
for  several  hours  and  it  is  reported  he  overcame  executive 
opposition  to  several  of  the  more  important  bills,  including 
the  measure  which  would  authorize  the  Metropolitan  Life 
Insurance  Company  to  invest  $100,000,000  in  real  estate  enter- 
prises and  the  proposals  to  compel  insurance  companies  to 
invest  40  per  cent,  of  their  assets  in  real  estate. 

The  hearing  at  which  the  legislative  proposals  of  the  Lock- 
wood  Committee  were  discussed  was  called  late  Tuesday  in  an 
effort  to  ascertain  just  what  sentiment  existed  with  respect  to 
the  findings  and  recommendations  of  the  Lockwood  Committee. 
It  will  continue  today  until  all  the  bills  have  been  discussed. 

Advancing  the  merits  of  the  bill  providing  for  a  State  Trade 
Commission,  Mr.  Untermyer  declared  at  yesterday's  hearing 
that  both  the  state  and  federal  courts  have  broken  down  in 
their  efforts  to  curb  the  operations  of  illegal  combinations 
"which  infest  both  this  state  and  country." 

"I  regard  this  bill  as  the  most  important  part  of  our  pro- 
gram," he  declared.  "It  will  operate  to  suppress  illegal  com- 
binations which  openly  challenge  the  law,  combinations  which 
cannot  be  curbed  by  the  regular  machinery  of  justice." 

No  opposition  was  expressed  to  the  State  Trade  Commission 
proposal,  a  development  which  elicited  some  surprise,  for 
before  the  hearing  this  measure  was  regarded  as  one  of  the 
most  controversial  recommendations  made  by  the  Lockwood 
Committee.  The  time  allotted  to  the  discussion  of  the  measure 
was  given  over  entirely  to  Mr.  Untermyer. 

The  bill  to  compel  insurance  companies  to  invest  40  per  cent, 
of  their  assets  in  real  estate  was  openly  opposed  by  State 
Superintendent    of    Insurance     Francis     R.    Stoddard,    former 


Superintendent  of  Insurance  William  H.  Hotchkiss,  James  H. 
Doyle,  representing  the  National  Board  of  Fire  Underwriters, 
Stewart  Browne,  President  of  the  United  Real  Estate  Owners' 
Association  and  others. 

Speaking  in  favor  of  this  bill,  Mr.  Untermyer  declared:  "Our 
companies  in  this  State  have  been  decreasing  their  real  estate 
investment,  yielding  to  the  lures  of  Wall  Street.  We  are  not 
advocating  this  bill  on  a  basis  of  the  housing  scarcity.  We  are 
placing  it  on  the  firmer  and  more  permanent  basis  that  realty 
investments  are  25  per  cent,  better  for  the  policy  holders  and 
the  losses  fewer  than  those  resulting  from  present  investments. 

"We  are  trying  to  get  the  fire  insurance  companies  to  invest 
in  the  same  sort  of  securities  that  life  insurance  companies  and 
savings  banks  have  found  so  safe  and  satisfactory." 

Superintendent  Stoddard  declared  the  measure  would  open 
the  way  for  other  mandatory  legislation  with  respect  to  the 
disposition  and  administration  of  the  finances  of  insurance 
companies,  and,  that  while  in  the  present  emergency  such  a 
measure  might  operate  to  relieve  the  situation,  a  dangerous 
precedent    would    be    established    by    its    enactment. 

Henry  W.  Killeen,  of  Buffalo,  who  said  he  appeared  "merely 
as  an  attorney"  opposed  the  bill  requiring  the  courts  to  impose 
a  minimum  jail  sentence  of  three  months  for  violation  of  the 
Donnelly  Anti-Trust  Law.  He  characterized  the  proposal  as 
"a  mere  gesture  of  disappointment."  "It  is  a  criticism  of  the 
courts  for  not  having  done  what  some  people  think  ought  to 
have  been  done,  and  you  might  better  leave  this  discretion  with 
the  courts,"  he  added. 

Mr.  Untermyer  resented  this  suggestion  on  behalf  of  the 
committee.  "It  is  a  fact,"  he  declared,  "that  the  courts  have 
enforced  the  anti-trust  laws  with  reluctance,  and  if  the  option 
of  a  fine  continues  the  law  will  continue  to  be  a  dead  letter." 

Alexander  C.  McNulty  and  Edward  P.  Doyle,  representing  the 
New  York  Real  Estate  Board,  attended  the  hearing.  They 
will  advise  with  the  committee  throughout  the  discussions  of 
the  bills. 

The  fate  of  the  Lockwood  bills,  aside  from  the  five  already 
reported,  is  problematical.  Neither  Senator  Lockwood  nor 
Senator  Lusk,  Majority  Leader  of  the  Senate,  was  willing  this 
week  to  venture  a  prediction  as  to  the  ultimate  success  or 
failure  of  the  other  bills  which  represent  part  of  the  committee's 
program  to  solve  the  housing  situation.  Nor  would  Speaker 
Machold  offer  anything  that  would  indicate  the  chances  the 
housing  legislative  program  had  of  passing  the  Assembly.  Gov- 
ernor Miller  would  not  disclose  his  attitude  with  respect  to 
the  Lockwood  bills  this  week.  He  was  reluctant  to  discuss 
any  of  the  bills,  another  factor  contributing  to  the  uncertainty 
of  the  situation. 

When  the  report  of  the  Lockwood  Committee  was  presented 
to  the  Legislature,  a  week  after  the  bills  framed  by  the  com- 
mittee had  been  introduced,  it  was  received  with  the  same 
measure  of  interest  as  would  attend  the  introduction  of  an 
amendment  of  the  town  or  village  law.  It  provoked  no  more 
discussion  than  an  up-state  bit  of  legislation  would.  The 
indifference  of  the  Legislature  following  the  submission  of 
this  report  is  largely  responsible  for  the  feeling  of  uncer- 
tainty about  the  passage  of  the  bills  still  pending  before 
committees.

Reliable  and  Proper  Methods  for  Appraising  Real  Estate 

Wm.  L.  De  Bost,  in  Address  at  West  Side  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  Describes  Various  Phases 
of  This  Profession  and  Lays  Stress  on  Its  Ethical  Features 


IN  spite  of  the  storm  on  Tuesday  evening  there  was  a  large 
attendance  of  the  Real  Estate  Class  of  the  West  Side 
Branch  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  to  hear  William  L.  De  Bost, 
Vice-President  of  the  Cruikshank  Company,  lecture  on  "The 
Appraising  of  Real  Estate."  The  speaker,  who  was  intro- 
duced by  Bryan  L.  Kennelly,  has  made  some  of'  the  most  no- 
table appraisals  in  the  city  during  recent  years.  In  opening, 
Mr.  De  Bost  said  : 

"While  you  may  feel  that  you  are  not  absorbing  as  much 
as  you  should  from  the  addresses  of  this  lecture  course,  I  am 
sure  that  during  your  whole  real  estate  career  (should  you 
make  this  your  profession)  items  which  you  have  remembered 
from  listening  to  the  men  who  have  spoken  here  will  always 
prove  to  be  a  considerable  asset. 

"The  appraising  of  real  estate  is  one  of  the  most  important 
branches  of  the  real  estate  business,  for  on  it  depends  much 
of  the  activity  of  the  other  branches  of  the  business.  A  large 
percentage  of  the  sales,  nearly  all  of  the  mortgages  and  many 
of  the  leases  which  are  made  depend  first  on  an  intelligent 
valuation  of  the  real  estate  involved.  It  can,  therefore,  readi- 
ly be  seen  of  what  great  importance  it  is  to  be  not  only  well 
trained  in  the  profession  of  appraising,  but  to  be  most  honest, 
skilled  and  up-to-date  in  this  branch  of  the  work,  as  an  ap- 
praiser who  is  depended  upon  by  his  clients  can  do  more  harm 
than  good  if  he  is  not  expert  and  conscientious  in  his  work. 
"It  would  seem  at  first  glance  that  anyone  engaged  in  the 
real  estate  business,  with  a  fair  amount  of  experience  and 
knowledge,  could  probably  appraise  real  estate,  but  I  do  not 
believe  that  this  is  the  case.  Unless  one  is  clearly  fitted  for 
this  particular  work  he  would  do  well  to  adopt  some  other 
branch  of  the  business,  as  appraising  requires  an  especial  apti- 
tude   and   training. 

"While  I  will  not  say  that  a  man  cannot  become  a  good 
appraiser  by  constant  hard  study,  I  do  believe  that  the  best 
appraiser  is  one  who  has  had  extensive  training  in  all  the 
departments  of  a  large  real  estate  office,  and  I  do  not  believe 
that  a  man  who  has  had  simply  the  ordinary  training  suffi- 
cient to  negotiate  a  lease  or  a  sale  is  any  more  fitted  to  make 
appairsals  than  a  graduate  from  college  is  fitted  to  adopt  im- 
mediately after  graduation  some  particular  specialty  in  the 
practice  of  law  or  medicine.  It  takes  a  lawyer  or  doctor  years 
in  general  practice  before  he  can  become  a  specialist  and  I 
believe   it  is   so   with   appraising. 

"An  appraiser  who  can  do  his  clients  full  justice  starts  out 
with  a  great  deal  in  his  favor.  He  must  have  absorbed  sell- 
ing or  market  values  and  rental  values,  he  must  study  con- 
stantly locations,  cost  of  operation  and  construction  and  all 
other  elements  pertaining  to  the  management,  rental,  sale  and 
mortgaging  of  real  estate,  and  to  have  tucked  this  knowl- 
edge carefully  away  in  his  memory  so  that  it  can  be  referred 
to  at  any  time  on  short  notice;  and,  what  is  still  more  impor- 
tant, he  must  keep  on  absorbing,  as  conditions  in  no  other  city 
in  the  world  change  as  rapidly  as  they  do  in  this  great  city 
of   ours. 

"A  fine,  systematic,  up-to-date  record  plant  which  is  con- 
stantly attended  to,  and  the  different  map  books  which  are 
correct  to  the  minute,  for  immediate  reference,  are  essential 
to  the  appraiser.  He  must  keep  more  or  less  familiar  with 
the  many  laws  which  affect  valuations  and  be  constantly  in 
touch,  as  far  as  it  is  possible  for  him  to  do  so,  with  cost  of 
building,  cost  of  operation,  sales  and  rentals,  for,  after  all, 
these  are  vital  elements  in  considering  the  fair  valuation  of 
real  estate." 
Continuing,  Mr.  De  Bost  said : — 

"Possibly  It  would  be  instructive  and  interesting  to  you  if  I  should  tell 
you  the  routine  in  the  making  of  an  appraisal,  from  the  time  It  Is 
ordered    until    it   is  eeut  out   completed. 

"First,  of   course,   the  order  Is   received — sometimes   by  mail   with  the 


simple  request  to  make  the  valuation  without  any  further  instructions 
and  to  send  it  as  quickly  as  possible,  together  with  a  bill.  But  more 
often,  an  interested  party  calls  personally  with  all  sorts  of  data  and 
reasons  why  a  certain  figure  should  be  arrived  at.  The  appraiser  must 
listen  very  patiently  to  all  these  arguments,  but,  in  most  cases,  unless 
he  wishes  to  do  his  client  or  the  owner  an  injustice,  he  must  forget  just 
as  quickly  and  so  start  out  absolutely  fresh.  As  an  illustration,  I  am 
reminded  of  a  man  who  called  on  me  one  day  to  order  an  appraisal  for 
the  renewal  of  a  mortgage,  which  I  found  out  later  was  held  by  on^  of 
my  clients.  He  gave  me  all  the  information  about  the  property  and 
other  particulars  and  his  views  of  its  value  and  future  possibilities,  and 
aslted  me  what  my  charge  for  the  appraisal  would  be.  I  told  him  $15. 
He  said  this  would  be  entirely  satisfactory  and  he  would  like  me  to  get 
the  appraisal  out  as  quickly  as  possible  and  send  it  to  him.  In  about  an 
hour  my  telephone  rang  and  this  same  man  wished  to  speak  to  me.  He 
said  that  since  leaving  my  ofBce  he  had  been  thinking  over  the  question 
of  my  fee  for  appraising  his  property  and  he  thought  it  was  entirely  too 
low  ;  that  what  he  wanted  was  a  real,  full  appraisal  and  that  he  would 
be  glad  to  honor  any  bill  that  I  might  send  him,  no  matter  how  large 
it  was,  provided  I  should  make  the  appraisal  to  fit  the  case.  This  is 
the  sort  of  influence  which  I  have  referred  to.  However,  I  am  glad  to 
say  that    in   all    my  experience   I   have   had   very  few    such   cases. 

"There  is  a  rather  unusual  condition  about  appraising  and  that  is, 
that,  in  a  great  many  instances,  the  party  who  is  paying  for  the  appraisal 
and  who  orders  it  is  not  your  client,  but  he  is  obtaining  it  because  your 
client  has  asked  bim  to  do  so.  You  can  see,  therefore,  how  particular  you 
must  be  to  Send  out  your  own  opinion  of  value  and  not  be  influenced  by 
original    information    which    may   be   furnished    you. 

"A  correct  diagram  must  first  be  made,  showing  the  size  and  location 
of  the  plot,  size  and  kind  of  building,  square  feet  in  the  plot,  cubic  feet 
in  the  building  and  zoning  regulations  under  the  zoning  law,  and  with 
this  a  memorandum  giving  all  oflBce  data  in  the  immediate  district, 
such  as  sales,  leases,  mortgages,  elevated  and  subway  stations  and  all 
other  information  which  may  in  any  way  have  a  present  or  future  effect 
on  the  property  in   question. 

"Then  comes  really  the  most  important  part  of  the  work,  that  is,  the 
physical  inspection  of  the  property,  for  it  is  just  as  wrong  for  an 
appraisal  to  be  sent  out  without  a  careful  inspection  not  only  of  the 
district,  buf  of  the  building  from  roof  to  cellar,  as  it  would  be  for  a 
doctor  to  prescribe  for  a  very  sick  patient  over  the  telephone.  If  you 
have  been  furnished  with  a  list  of  the  rentals,  these  must  be  carefully 
cheeked  up  to  see  that  they  are  correct  and  fair.  If,  as  in  many  cases, 
no  list  of  rentals  can  be  given  you,  and  you  cannot  obtain  the  informa- 
tion on  the  premises,  you  must  estimate  the  fair  gross  rental  value  of 
the  property.  This  cannot  be  done  in  a  haphazard  way,  but  must  be 
done  with  absolute  knowledge  of  renting  conditions  in  that  district. 
This  is  also  true  of  operating  expenses  of  the  building,  for,  after  all, 
never  forget  that  the  income  which  the  property  produces,  if  adequately 
improved,  is  undoubtedly  the  most  important  element  in  arriving  at  its 
fair   and   reasonable   value. 

"In  considering  adjoining  property  sales,  which,  of  course  must  he 
done,  remember  that  it  is  not  always  safe  to  take  the  published  record, 
giving  the  considerations,  or  as  figured  by  the  revenue  stamps.  Although 
sales  are  a  very  important  element  in  the  valuation  of  real  estate,  yet 
they  are  not  always  the  best  indication  of  value.  I  can  show  you  sales 
at  prices  either  far  above  or  below  real  values,  and  were  these  taken  as 
full  indication  of  fair  value  of  adjacent  property  they  would  make  an 
appraisal   absurd. 

"Now,  after  having  done  all  this,  then  comes  your  consideration  of  the 
fair  value  of  the  property — in  other  words,  your  diagnosis  of  the  case. 
This  must  be  done  where  you  can  be  quiet  and  undisturbed  so  that  you 
can  fully  concentrate  on  the  work  before  you.  And,  after  you  have 
given  consideration  to  all  these  elements  of  value  and  have  finally 
arrived  at  your  conclusion,  you  must  be  absolutely  convinced  in  your 
opinion  and  not  be  swerved  by  any  influence  which  may  be  brought  to 
bear  to  change  this  opinion,  unless  some  distinct  error  in  your  calcula- 
tions can  be  shown  or  unless  some  other  elements  of  value  can  be 
presented  to  you  which  were  not  before  you  when  you  were  giving  con- 
sideration to  the  case.  In  other  words,  be  perfectly  honest  and  do  not 
be  moved  from  the  straight  and  narrow  path,  always  remembering  when 
an  appraisal  has  once  been  signed  by  you  and  sent  out  to  do  its  mission 
in  the  world,  if  you  are  an  appraiser  of  any  note  and  reputation,  this 
appraisal,    to   a    certain    extent,    becomes    a    real    part    of    that    property." 

"If  you  have  an  extensive  appraising  business,"  Mr.  De  Bosl 
also  explained,  "you  will  find  that  very  often  after  making 
an  appraisal  you  will  receive  a  re-order,  but  because  you  have 
appraised  the  property  at  a  recent  date  do  not  take  a  chance 
of  re-issuing  your  appraisal  at  a  later  date,  without  a  new  in- 
spection, as  it  might  so  happen  that  a  fire  or  some  other  un- 
foreseen damage  to  the  building  had  occurred  over  night. 

"I  was  spoken  to  some  years  ago  by  a  gentlemen  who  had 
a  new  scheme  which  he  was  most  enthusiastic  over.  He 
thought  that  he  could  commercialize  appraising  so  that  all 
anyone  would  have  to  do  would  be  to  subscribe  to  an  issue 
to  be  published  at  regular  intervals,  which  would  give  unit 
values  on  each  block.  In  other  words,  similar  to  the  unit  value 
map  which  is  published  by  the  Tax  Department.  He  was  going 
to  sell  this  service  at  a  large  price  to  trust  companies,  savings 
banks  and  others,  and  he  asked  me  if  I  would  be  willing  to 
undertake  the  fixing  of  these  units  in  a  certain  large  section  of 
the  city.  I  told  him  that  I  would  be  very  glad  to  do  so,  but,  of 
course,  there  were  some  conditions  about  it.  He  said  that  he 
would  meet  any  ordinary  conditions,  and  I  told  him  he  would

Lockwood   Committee   Submits  "Intermediate   Report 

Legislature  Gets  Exhaustive  Review  of  Its  Activities  During  Past  Tliree  Years, 
Along  with  Twenty-three  bills  Urged  for  Immediate  Passage 

(Special  to  Record  and  Guide) 
Albany,  March  9. 


»> 


SENATOR  CHARLES  C.  LOCKWOOD,  Chairman  of  the 
Joint  Legislative  Committee  on  Housing,  submitted  an 
Intermediate  Report  to  the  Legislature  last  Monday,  sum- 
marizing its  activities  up  to  the  present  time  and  making  a 
large  number  of  recommendations  for  legislation.  After  re- 
citing the  circumstances  leading  up  to  the  appointment  of  the 
committee,  on  April  18,  1919,  the  report  declares  that  "the 
housing  famine  continues  to  be  a  peril  to  the  life,  health,  safety 
and  morals  of  the  community"  and  sums  up  the  situation  as 
follows : 

"In  the  City  of  New  York  alone  there  is  now  a  shortage  of 
approximately  80,000  low-priced' homes  to  house  400,000  human 
beings  as  compared  with  the  normal  conditions  of  pre-war 
times.  This  has,  of  course,  meant  abnormally  high  rents,  whilst 
high  rents  have  in  turn  involved  doubling  up  and  indecent, 
insanitary  overcrowding." 

The  problem,  the  report  declares,  will  not  solve  itself  by 
the  operation  of  economic  laws  "because  the  type  of  housing 
most  needed  cannot  be  produced  as  a  paying  investment  for 
rentals  that  the  average  wage-earners  can  afford  to  pay  at 
the  present  costs  of  construction  and  materials,  nor  at  the 
prevailing  prices  of  labor  except  in  large  units  on  a  non- 
■speculative  plan." 

After  stating  that  there  "are  many  evidences  of  uncon- 
scionable profiteering  by  landlords"  the  report  declares  "it 
would  be  most  unjust  to  indict  the  entire  landlord  class  or 
any  substantial  part  thereof  as  responsible  for  the  present  situ- 
ation." 

In  support  of  its  contention  that  the  "housing  crisis"  still 
exists,   the   report   says  : — 

The  population  in  Greater  New  Yorli  as  of  July  1st,  1021,  is  es- 
timated at  !),7S4,6i:i  and  there  were  then  only  982,771  apartments 
available  or  an  increase  of  only  023  apartments  to  meet  an  increase  of 
342,tKKj  in  poiiulatiou:  As  against  an  increase  of  157,240  apartments 
in  y  years  before  the  war.  we  have  an  increase  of  923  apartments  for 
the  last  3  1-2  years.  There  have,  of  course,  been  more  than  923  apart- 
ments constructed  during  that  period  but  the  demolitions  due  to  fire, 
old  age  and  conversion  to  business  purposes  had  brought  the  net  in- 
crease of   available    dwelling   space   in   3   1-2   years   to   less   than    1,000. 

From  1910  to  1917  inclusive  there  were  net  actual  gains  in  avail- 
able  dwelling   space   of    16, .57(1    apartments    per   year. 

As  against  this  It  appears  from  the  following  table  of  the  net  in- 
creases and  decreases  of  construction  in  apartments  for  the  years  1918 
to  July,  1921.  inclusive,  that  there  have  been  actual  losses  from  1920  to

The  sum  total  of  those  figures  shows  that  construction  fell  behind 
69.797   apartments  from   1917   to   July   1st,   1921. 

From  1910  to  1017  an  average  of  24,922  new  apartments  were  built 
each  year.  From  lOlS  to  July  1st.  1021,  the  following  construction  in

This  shows  an  average  of  3.042  new  apartments  constructed  in  the  post- 
war period,  so  that  the  gross  construction  fell  behind  73,832  apartments. 
The  fp'oss  construction  in  3Vj  years  fell  behind  4.034  more  than  the  net 
construction  which,  as  above  stated,  (ell  behind  09.797.  All  these  calcu- 
lations are  based  on  official  figures  showing  a  shortage  of  nearly  70.(X)0 
houses  on   July   1st.   1921. 

While  building  decreased  the  price  of  materials  increased, 
the  report  jioints  out,  although  the  prices  of  all  other  com- 
modities fell  : — 

"In  ,^pril.  1920,  building  materials  reached  a  maximum  of 
.341  while  Rciicral  commodities,  notwithstanding  the  extent  to 
which  they,  too,  have  been  exploited  in  every  direction,  were 
at  their  hrghest  point  at  272.  In  December,  1920,  building 
materials  fell  to  266  while  general  commodities  fell  to  189. 
In  February,  1921,  while  general  commodities  were  at  177 
building   materials   were   still   at   222." 


Taking  up  the  urgent  necessity  for  the  enactment  of  rent 
laws  the  report  says  that  on  January  1,  1922,  there  were  68,000 
cases  pending  in  the  municipal  courts  and  suggests  a  number 
of  reforms  in  the  conduct  of  this  class  of  litigation,  one  of  the 
chief  recommendations  being  that  in  "reasonable  rent"  cases 
the  law  be  amended  to  provide  that  the  assessed  value  shall 
be  presumed  to  be  the  value  of  the  investment.  An  interest- 
ing fact  disclosed  by  the  report  gives  the  number  of  sum- 
mary proceedings  instituted  in  the  courts  in  1920  and  1921,  as 
follows :

Nearly  one  hundred  pages  of  the  report  are  taken  up  with 
a  resume  of  the  testimony  taken  by  the  committee  relative  to 
Brindellism,  the  operations  of  Hettrick,  "unfair  practices  and 
requirements  of  labor  unions";  the  investigation  into  com- 
binations of  manufacturers  to  fi.x  prices  and  restrict  competi- 
tion; the  relationship  between  the  Building  Trades 
Employers'  Association  and  the  Building  Trades  Council  and 
open  price  and  other  associations  in  restraint  of  trade.  After 
giving  the  number  of  indictments  and  convictions  resulting 
from  its  investigations  the  committee  reports  that 

"It  finds  the  legal  machinery  for  the  enforcement  of  the  conspiracy 
laws  against  illegal  combinations  to  be  inadequate  in  both  the  State 
and  Federal  courts,  but  in  making  this  statement  no  reflection  is  in- 
tended upon  the  public  officials  having  in  charge  the  execution  of  these 
laws. 

"We  have  had  upon  the  statute  books  of  the  State  of  New  York  the 
statute  against  conspiracies  in  restraint  of  trade,  being  section  580  of 
the  Penal  Code,  and  the  so-called  Donnelly  Anti-Trust  Act,  chapter  25, 
section  340,  of  the  Laws  of  1909.  Notwithstanding  the  fact  that  the  City 
of  New  York  has  been  for  upward  of  twenty  years  the  headquarters 
for  most  of  the  illegal  combinations  in  the  building  industry  and  in  fact 
of  international  combinations  from  which  the  people  of  this  country 
have  been  and  are  suffering,  no  successful  effort  has  been  made  to 
suppress  or  punish  these  conspiracies.  These  laws  have  been  generally 
regarded    as    a    'dead    letter.' 

"One  of  the  reasons  that  has  for  years  been  most  persistently  urged 
against  the  enforcement  of  the  Federal  Anti-Triist  Laws  as  criminal 
statutes  was  the  supposed  unwillingness  of  juries  to  convict  in  such 
cases.  The  experiences  of  the  committee  have  demonstrated  no  basis  for 
this  assertion. 

"The  judges,  both  in  the  state  and  Federal  courts,  have  almost  con- 
sistently treated  this  class  of  offenders  with  tender  consideration.  In 
one  case  in  the  state  court  in  which  the  manufacturers  of  brick  and 
dealers  in  building  materials  were  proven  guilty  of  the  most  overt 
acts,  constituting  willful  frauds  upon  the  public,  the  court  allowed  all 
the  defendants  to  escape  with  fines." 

Taking  up  the   subject  of  financing  building  the  report  goes 

extensively    into    the    investments    of    life    and    fire    insurance 

companies    and    savings    banks.      The    conclusions    reached    by 

the  committee  follow: — 

The  ratio  of  income  earned  on  mortgage  loans  by  all  classes  of  both 
insurance  companies  and  banking  institutions  has  been  greater  by  ap- 
proximately one  per  cent,  and  more  coitstant  almost  invariably  than 
itas  been   the  rate  of  income  earned  on  bonds  and  stocks. 

Notwithstanding  the  greater  earning  power,  stability  and  safety  of 
mortgage  loans  as  investments,  the  insurance  companies  and  the  bank- 
ing institutions,  with  the  exception  of  the  savings  banks,  have  invested, 
generally,    the    greater    portion    of    their    resources    in    bonds    and    stocks. 

There  has  been  a  general  tendency  on  the  part  of  both  the  life  in- 
surance companies  and  the  banking  institutions,  in  the  years  from  1915 
to  1919  to  decrease  the  proportion  of  their  resources  invested  in  mort- 
gage loans  and  to  correspondingly  increase  their  investments  in  bonds 
and   stocks. 

The  increase  in  the  ratio  of  Investments  of  insurance  companies  In 
United  States  bonds  during  the  period  of  the  war.  when  these  invest- 
ments were  necessary,  were  apparently  made  largely  at  the  expense  of 
their  investments  in  mortgage  loans,  but  in  exceptional  instances  there 
was  simultaneosuly  a  decrease  in  the  investments  in  other  bonds  and 
stocks. 

The  insurance  companies  of  other  states  of  all  classes,  have  invested, 
on  the  average,  a  far  greater  portion  of  their  available  resources  In 
mortgage  loans  than  have  the  companies  of  New  York  State. 

The  life  insurance  companies  of  Now  York  State  have  invested  pro- 
portionately more  in  mortgage  loans  in  otlier  states,  In  relation  to  the 
insurance  that  they  have  outstanding  In  those  states  than  ttie  In- 
surance companies  of  other  states  have  Invested  in  mortgage  loans  In 
Now  York  State  in  relation  to  the  insurance  that  the  latter  h<nve  out- 
standing  in  the  State  of  New  York. 

Some  Insurance  companies  have  Invested  in  mortgage  loans  a  smaller 
proportion    of    their    resources    than    the    average    shown    by    all    of    the

Declares   Lockwood  Report   "Unfair    and    Misleading'* 


D 


Chairman  Norman,  of  Board  of  Governors,  Says  Committee  Has  Failed  to  Show 
Building  Trades  Employers'  Association  Guilty  of  Any  Illegal  or  Unmoral  Act 

ISCUSSING  the  report  submitted  to  the  Legislature  on  worthless  as  statistics  and  mean  nothing.  They  consist  of  a 
Monday  by  the  Lockwood  Committee,  and  referring  to  jumble  of  guesses  written  for  the  obvious  purpose  of  justify- 
the  statement  that  the  committee  would  shortly  resume  '"^  ^  foolish  statement.  They  are  evidently  based  upon  opin- 
ions of  the  Tenement  House  Department  and  contain  no 
references  to  the  thousands  of  one  and  two-family  houses 
erected  in  the  Boroughs  of  Richmond,  Queens,  Brooklyn  and 
the  Bronx  during  the  past  three  years. 

"In  New  York  City,  all  boroughs,  in  the  year  1919  contracts 
were  awarded  for  14,131  residential  buildings,  in  1920  for  7,087 
residential  buildings  and  in  1921  for  11,763  residential  build- 
ings. The  survey  conducted  by  the  Building  Trades  Employ- 
ers' Association  showed  that  there  was  completed  in  the  year 
1921,  after  the  enactment  of  the  Tax  Exemption  Law,  accom- 
modations for  9,889  families  and  that  there  was  under 
construction  on  December  31,  1921,  to  be  completed  in  1922, 
accommodations   for  26,760  families. 

"If  Senator  Lockwood  will  devote  one  hour  to  an  examination 
of  the  unfurnished  apartment,  advertising  columns,  of  the  New 
York  papers  and  three  hours  to  a  personal  investigation  of 
the  conditions  in  Brooklyn  he  will  be  convinced  of  his  folly. 


the  investigation  into  the  affairs  of  the  Building  Trades  Em- 
ployers' Association,  C.  G.  Norman,  Chairman  of  the  Board  of 
Governors,  said : 

"The  Lockwood  Committee  has  had  the  books  of  the  Build- 
ing Trades  Employers'  Association  in  its  possession  for  eight- 
een months.  It  has  failed  to  show  that  the  association  has 
been  guilty  of  an  unlawful  act  or  even  an  unmoral  or  an  unsocial 
act,  or  that  it  has  at  any  time  made  or  approved  of  an  illegal 
or  improper  agreement  with  any  labor  organization. 

"The  Committee  inadvertently  pays  us  one  compliment.  It 
stated  that  it  has  been  unable  to  discover  a  single  instance  in 
which  a  member  of  the  association  has  paid  graft.  It,  however, 
failed  to  state  that  those  who  paid  graft  (not  members  of  the 
association)  also  paid  more  than  the  agreed  rates  of  wages,  re- 
ceived special  consideration  from  the  business  agents,  were

Reliable  and  Proper  Methods  for  Appraising  Real  Estate 


(Continued  from  page  296) 
have  to  pay  me  a  salary  which  would  be  as  much  per  year  as 
I  ever  hoped  to  make  in  the  ordinary  course  of  my  business 
and  that  he  would  have  to  engage  me  for  life  and  that  it  would 
probably  take  me  nearly  all  my  life  before  I  could  make  my 
original  report  as  every  single  lot  in  the  City  of  New  York 
would  have  to  be  appraised  separately  and  that  no  definite  unit 
value  could  prevail. 

"You  will  often  be  pressed  to  issue  an  appraisal  in  a  great 
hurry  and  will  be  obliged  to  do  so  in  many  cases,  but  I  urge 
you  never  to  be  hurried  to  such  an  extent  that  you  send  out 
an  appraisal  until  you  are  fully  convinced  that  it  is  right,  for 
you  must  never  overlook  the  fact  that  after  an  appraisal  is 
once  signed  and  sent  out  it  becomes  history  and  it  is  practically 
impossible  to  withdraw  it,  and  that  on  the  strength  of  this  ap- 
praisal money  may  be  loaned  by  trustees  representing  widows 
and  infants,  or  by  trust  companies  or  savings  banks,  not  only 
for  their  own  investment  but  for  estates.  So  I  say  no  matter 
how  much  you  are  pressed,  unless  you  are  fully  convinced  that 
you  are  right,  at  all  costs,  even  at  the  hazard  of  losing  your 
client,  hold  up  the  appraisal  until  you  are  ready  to  issue  it. 

"As  to  structural  value  of  buildings,  due  to  war  conditions 
and  the  necessary  high  cost  of  materials  and  labor,  this  side  of 
appraising  has  become  most  difficult.  No  matter  what  a  build- 
ing may  have  cost,  unless  it  is  an  adequate  improvement  and 
well  planned,  it  does  not  add  its  cost  value  to  the  land.  The 
inducement  for  erecting  buildings  during  the  past  few  years,  at 
the  prevailing  high  costs,  has  been  largely  that  owners  could 
obtain  high  rentals  for  the  space  offered  and  in  this  way  write 
off  during  a  certain  number  of  years  the  difference  between 
abnormal  and  normal  costs.  After  all,  a  building  is  only  worth 
what  it  will  make  the  land  produce  and  I  find  in  my  appraising 
work  that  in  very  few  instances  can  I  give  a  land  valuation 
and  a  cost  valuation,  add  the  two  together  and  say  that  that  is 
the  fair  and  reasonable  value  of  the  property.  You  will  recall 
that  in  taxing  real  estate,  the  Tax  Department  values  the  land 
and  the  land  and  building  together.  That  is:  they  value  the 
land  and  add  to  the  land  what  in  their  estimation  the  building 
adds  to  it.    This  is  just  as  true  in  appraising  as  in  assessing." 

Discussing  the  future  prospects  of  those  who  take  up  ap- 
praising as  a  profession,  Mr.  De  Bost  said: 


"There  must  be  no  question  about  appraising.  If  there  is  to  be  then 
you  should  not  be  an  appraiser,  and  if  you  do  become  a  good  appraise?

In  conclusion,  Mr.  De  Bost  said  :  "The  subject  of  appraising 
IS  such  a  big  one  that  I  know  I  have  only  been  able  to  touch, 
in  the  time  allowed  me,  on  the  high  spots.  Before  closing  I 
would  like  to  add  one  further  word.  While  I  know  that  no  one 
IS  infallible— for  if  any  of  us  should  never  make  mistakes  we 
would  go  to  heaven  too  quickly— should  any  or  all  of  you 
gentlemen  ever  become  appraisers  of  real  estate,  I  am  sure  that 
the  very  best  advice  I  can  give  you  is  to  be  most  honest  with 
yourself,  do  not  be  swayed  by  any  pressure  or  influence  brought 
to  bear,  do  not  be  afraid  of  losing  a  customer  because  you  will 
not  make  a  valuation  to  suit  him,  and  be  most  careful  that  the 
other  branches  of  the  business  in  which  you  may  be  engaged 
do  not  so  affect  your  opinion  of  values  that  you  cannot  give  an 
honest  opinion."

New  Jackson  Heights  Apartments  Will  Cost  $5,000,000 

J.  G.  White-Queensboro  Corporation  Operation,  Planned  By  Andrew  J.  Thomas, 
Provides  Many  Original  Features  in  Design  and  Equipment 

CONTRACTORS  have  commenced  work  on  a  new  type  of 
multi-family  house  in  the  Jackson  Heights  section  of 
Long  Island  City,  where  new  garden  apartments  are  now 
being  erected  at  a  total  cost  of  more  than  $5,000,000.  Of  this 
amount  of  active  construction  now  in  progress  approximately 
$2,000,000  represents  the  cost  of  a  block  of  attractive  garden 
type  of  apartments  being  erected  on  the  block  bounded  by 
Hayes  and  Fillmore  Avenues,  Twenty-third  and  Twenty-fourth 
Streets,  by  the  Queensboro  Corporation  and  the  J.  G.  White  En- 
gineering Corporation,  the  latter  firm  a  new  entry  into  the 
housing  field.  Just  recently  also,  Dwight  P.  Robinson  &  Co., 
Inc.,  began  the  construction  of  a  block  of  elevator  apartments, 
comprising  twenty-si.x  buildings  providing  for  the  accommoda- 
tion of  284  families,  on  the  block  bounded  by  Polk  and  Roose- 
velt Avenues,  Twenty-second  and  Twenty-third  Streets.

"The  officers  of  the  Queensboro  Corporation  feel  that  a  most 
important  sign  of  progress  in  the  plan  of  this  new  group  is  the 
locating  of  the  bedrooms  on  the  rear  overlooking  the  garden. 
Hitherto  the  custom  has  been  to  place  the  bedrooms  on  the 
street  and  people  have  come  to  accept  it  without  considering 
the  reason  which  led  to  the  choice  of  the  street  front  for  bed- 
rooms. The  reason  was  that  in  older  types  of  plan  the  only 
other  locations  possible  were  a  very  narrow  side  yard  pocketed 
at  one  end,  or  else,  a  narrow  rear  court,  at  best  not  more  than 
24  feet  wide,  between  buildings. 

"Sunshine  hardly  ever  got  down  to  the  majority  of  these 
rear  rooms  and  the}'  had  almost  no  circulation  of  air  in  sum- 
mer. Now  the  public  is  beginning  to  realize  that  the  street 
bedrooms  are  a  great  disadvantage  because  of  noise.  New 
York  City  streets  are  becoming  noiser  each  year,  especially 
since  the  advent  of  the  auto  truck,  and  particularly  disturbing 


PLOT  PLAN  OF  NEW  GARDEN  APARTMENTS  AT 


Andrew  J.   Thomas,  Archi'tect. 

lACKSON   HEIGHTS 


ments  are  being  erected  from  plans  and  specifications  by  An- 
drew J.  Thomas.  The  style  of  the  new  apartments  is  reminiscent 
of  the  architecture  of  Henry  IV  of  France.  The  best  of  mate- 
rials will  be  used  to  produce  an  exterior  of  striking  interest, 
in  which  the  effect  will  be  gained  by  artistry  in  design  rather 
than  by  over-elaboration  or  by  unnecessary  decoration. 

The  brickwork  will  yield  an  unusually  beautiful  wall  surface. 
This  result  will  be  obtained  by  means  of  a  blend  of  selected 
brick,  carefully  laid  with  joints  proportioned  to  the  brick,  thus 
affording  a    reddish    surface    of   rich    and    interesting    texture. 

The  roof  slopes  are  slate,  enlivened  by  hues  of  green  and 
blue  in  a  harmonious  tapestry  efifect.  The  bold  skyline,  broken 
here  and  there  by  gables  and  towers  each  crowned  with  cop- 
per finials,  weather  vanes,  or  lanterns,  and  medieval  in  spirit, 
will  be  one  of  the  features  of  the  group. 

The  entrances  have  an  enframement  of  limestone,  surmounted 
by  balconies  of  wrought  iron,  of  hand-hammered  surface  and 
texture.  The  doors  themselves  are  oak,  hand  adzed,  stained  as 
if  weathered  by  time,  and  decorated  with  hand-finished, 
wrought    iron    hardware. 

It  goes  without  saying  that  the  garden  is  the  essence  of 
the  garden  apartment  idea,  the  culmination  of  the  whole  block. 

E.  A.  MacDougall,  President  of  the  Queensboro  Corporation, 
in  describing  this  operation,  said: 


in  the  early  morning.  In  fact,  this  condition  is  a  positive  detri- 
ment to  health. 

"The  difficulty  has  been  solved  in  this  new  group  by  giving 
the  bedrooms  a  splendid  location  in  the  rear  where  most  of 
them  have  two  exposures  and  a  splendid  view  over  a  great  gar- 
den 550  feet  long  and  approximately  80  feet  wide  at  its  narrow- 
est point.  This  is  30  feet  wider  than  the  average  city  street 
between  building  lines.  By  this  arrangement  the  sleeping 
rooms  are  cool  in  summer  and  free  from  noise  and  dust. 

"Another  feature  is  the  division  of  the  group  into  isolated 
buildings  with  a  clear  space  of  19  feet  six  inches  between,  run- 
ning from  street  to  rear  garden.  These  open  spaces  occur 
about  every  80  feet  on  the  street  front,  thus  creating  together 
with  the  garden,  a  splendid  system  of  cross  ventilation  through 
the  whole  block.  This  scheme  vastly  improves  the  architectural 
appearance  of  the  group  by  do'ng  away  with  the  long  monoto- 
nous institution-like  effect  of  the  usual  solidly  built  up  city 
block. 

"The  effect  instead  is  of  isolated  buildings,  each  with  a  dis- 
tinct individuality  of  its  own,  yielding  charm  and  privacy.  Here 
again  is  a  feature  in  which  the  designer  has  given  the  apart- 
ment the  advantage  of  an  individual  home  and  which  would 
also,  if  generally  adopted,  wonderfully  improve  the  attractive- 
ness of  New  York  Citv  streets."

Review  of  Real  Estate  Market  for  the   Current  Week 


An  Abundance  of  Large  Sales  and  Bu 
Strengtli  to  a  Market 

THIS  was  a  week  of  varied  and  important  real  estate  sales 
and  leases.  Previous  weeks  of  this  year  have  shown  larger 
single  transactions  and  a  larger  total  number  of  sales; 
but,  none  have  shown  a  larger  total  number  of  important  sales. 
The  western  section  of  West  34th  Street  contributed  the  pre- 
mier sale  of  the  week  when  title  to  the  Manhattan  Opera 
House  passed  to  the  New  York  Consistory,  Scottish  Rite 
Masons,  who  will  use  it  aS'  a  temple  after  a  few  structural 
changes.  Covering  a  plot  125x197.6,  running  through  to  West 
3Sth  Street,  175  feet  west  of  Eighth  Avenue,  this  notable  struc- 
ture built  by  the  late  Oscar  Hammerstein  has,  since  his  death, 
been  a  subject  of  litigation  between  his  widow  and  daugh- 
ters. Mortgaged  for  sums  making  a  large  total,  the  building 
will,  ere  long,  be  relieved  of  all  mortgage  and  other  indebted- 
ness by  the  new  owners.  The  actual  sellers  of  this  West  Side 
landmark  were  Mr.  Hammerstein's  daughters,  who  came  into 
possession  of  the  property  last  June. 

Other  sales  that  gave  zest  to  the  market  were  the  sale  by 
the  R.  T.  Wilson  estate  of  a  large  Broadway  loft  building; 
some  large  elevator  apartment  houses  on  Washington  Heights 
as  well  as  some  vacant  plots  there,  for  improvement;  the 
south  corner  of  Union  Square  East  and  16th  Street  to  the 
ground  floor  tenant,  The  Corn  Exchange  Bank;  a  West  End 
Avenue  corner  dwelling,  for  private  school  purposes;  numerous 
fine  dwellings   on  both  sides  of  Central  Park;  a  vacant  Lex- 


ying   by   Tenants   and    Investors   Gave 
That  Was  Widespread 

ington  Avenue  corner  for  improvement  with  a  large  apartment 
house;  the  Roxborough  apartment  house,  at  Broadway  and 
92d  Street,  at  about  $1,500,000;  and  numerous  medium  sized 
mercantile   buildings   downtown. 

It  was  the  most  distinctive  week  in  a  long  time  so  far  as 
the  sale  of  business  properties  to  tenants  and  to  other  inves- 
tors is  concerned.  One  investor,  alone,  bought  three  Pearl 
Street  buildings,  while  other  good  parcels  on  the  lower  East 
Side  of  the  city  changed  hands  as  well,  for  occupancy  by  the 
buyers.  An  investor  bought  a  parcel  in  lower  Dey  Street.  In 
fact,  dealing  generally,  downtown,  kept  pace  pretty  well  with 
dealing  north  of  S9th  Street,  this  week,  which  is  somewhat 
unusual.  There  appears  to  be  a  keen  market  appetite  across 
the  lower  part  of  town.  Some  sales  were  for  cash.  A  fine 
upper  Park  Avenue  dwelling  also  found  a  new  owner,  while 
a  club  purchased  a  fine  residence,  east  of  Fifth  Avenue,  for 
club  house  use. 

In  Brooklyn  Remsen  Street,  a  part  of  the  borough's  financial 
and  insurance  center,  is  witnessing  an  activity  in  selling  that 
it  has  not  had  for  a  long  time.  AH  kinds  of  property  in  the 
borough  is  in  strong  demand.  In  the  Bronx  the  sale  of  good 
sized   apartment  houses  formed  the  bulk  of  the  dealing. 

Large  leases  throughout  Manhattan,  for  long  terms,  was  a 
pronounced  feature  of  the  market.  The  diversity  of  character 
of  the  properties  leased  would  seem  to  presage  much  more  deal- 
ing of  the  kind. 


PRIVATE  REALTY  SALES. 


THE  total  number  of  sales  reported,  but  not 
recorded  in  Manhattan  this  week,  was  65 
as    against   68    last    week    and   88   a   year   ago. 

The  number  of  sales  south  of  59th  st  was  28, 
as  compared  with  32  last  week  and  21  a  year 
ago. 

The  number  of  sales  north  of  59th  st  was  37 
as  compared  with  35  last  week  and  67  a  year 
ago. 

Prom  the  Bronx  26  sales  at  private  contract 
were  reported,  as  against  36  last  week  and  24 
a   year  ago. 

Statistical  tables,  including  the  number  of  re- 
corded instruments,  will  be  found  on  page  308. 


Death  of  Albert  V.  Smith 

Albert  V.  Smith,  popularly  known  to  the  real 
estate  fraternity  as  "Bert"  Smith,  and  in 
charge  of  the  real  estate  salesroom  on  Vesey 
street  since  1900,  died  on  Tuesday  at  his  resi- 
dence, 621 A  McDonough  st,  Brooklyn,  after  an 
illness  of  several  months.  He  was  born  in 
Jamaica,  Queens,  56  years  ago,  and  is  sur- 
vived by  a  widow,  Elizabeth  C.  Smith,  and  a 
daughter,    Eugenie   V.    Smith. 

Mr.  Smith  had  always  been  identified  with 
the  real  estate  business,  being  connected  at  va- 
rious times  with  The  Sun,  the  New  York  Amer- 
ican as  a  writer,  and  the  advertising  firm  of 
W.  W.  Sharpe  &  Co.  Funeral  services  were 
held  at  his  home  on  Friday  and  interment  took 
place  today  at  Greenwood. 


Masons  Buy  Manhattan  Opera  House 

The  Manhattan  Opera  House  on  the  north' 
side  of  West  34th  st,  175  feet  west  of  Eighth 
av,  which  was  built  in  1906  by  the  late  Oscar 
Hammerstein.  has  become  the  property  of  the 
New  York  Consistory,  Scottish  Rite  Masons, 
which  will  use  the  structure  as  a  temple.  The 
price  paid  was  said  to  be  in  excess  of  $600,000. 
Title  to  the  property  was  transferred  in  the 
offices  of  the  Title  Guarantee  and  Trust  Co.  on 
Tuesday. 

Few  if  any  changes  will  be  made  in  the  opera 
house  in  the  immediate  future  by  the  new 
owners.  The  consistory,  which  has  been  rent- 
ing quarters  in  the  Grand  Lodge  Masonic  Tem- 
ple, at  Sixth  av  and  23d  st,  will  take  possession 
at  once.  The  auditorium  is  adapted  in  its 
present  condition  for  Scottish  Rite  ceremonial 
usage. 

Walter  W.  Griffith,  commander  in  chief  of 
the  Scottish  Rite,  stated  that  a  new  marble' 
front  will  be  installed  later  and  that  the  New 
York  consistory,  which  has  35,000  members  In 
the  State  and  9.500  members  In  the  city,  will 
not  be  obliged  to  issue  bonds  to  pay  for  the 
structural  changes.  Mr.  Griffith  also  said  that 
the    house   will   not   be    rented    for    outside    pur- 


poses unless  it  may  be  for  the  presentation  of 
symphony    concerts    or    educational    lectures. 

Last  June  the  opera  house  was  sold  to  Mrs. 
Charles  Pope  and  Mrs.  Rose  Tostevin,  daughters 
of  Mr.  Hammerstein  by  his  first  wife,  to  satisfy 
a  lien  which  they  had  obtained  on  the  property 
against  Mrs.  Emma  Swift  Hammerstein,  the 
impresario's  second  wife.  The  daughters  paid 
.$145,000  for  the  property. 

When  the  property  was  sold  the  Metropolitan 
Life  Insurance  Co.  held  a  mortgage  for  $250.- 
OOiA  Fortune  Gallo  and  Samuel  Jacobs  held 
one  for  $150,000  and  the  Mutual  State  Bank 
held  another  for  $50,000.  After  title  was  closed 
on  Tuesday  the  consistory  had  satisfied  all  the 
mortgages  except  those  held  by  the  Metropolitan 
Life  and  the  Mutual  Eank.  The  Title  Guaran- 
tee and  Trust  Co.  insured  the  consistory 
against  these  mortgages  as  well  as  against  about 
5,fXlO  separate  mechanics'  liens  which  have  been 
filed    on    the    property    since    it    was    built. 

Moses  Altman  and  Stoddard  &  Mark,  attor- 
neys, represented  the  consistory.  Jerome  A. 
Strauss,  trustee  for  the  owners  of  the  equity, 
represented  the  Hammerstein  daughters.

Theatre  Buys   Leasehold 

From  Mary  A.  Cassidy  the  Selwyn  Realty 
Corporation  has  acquired  the  fee  to  the  land 
which  it  has  held  under  lease  at  the  42d  st 
entrance  to  the  Selwyn  Theatre.  The  site  just 
acquired  is  assessed  by  the  city  at  $230,000. 
The  structure  which  occupies  the  site  is  a  con- 
tinuation of  the  main  theatre,  a  3-sty  building, 
at  240  to  248  West  43d  st,  on  a  plot  96.8x100. 

In  a  deal  closed  about  5  years  ago  the  Selwyns 
secured  through  purchase  and  lease  the  plot  on 
43d  st  as  well  as  the  holdings  at  215  to  231

Better  Light, 

Better  Homes 


Artificial  light,  in  one  form  or  another,  has  been  a 
necessity  of  mankind's  from  the  beginning  of  time.  The 
flaming  fagot  of  primitive  man  gave  illumination.  So 
did  the  candle,  oil  lamp  and  countless  other  means  of 
lighting  that  followed.  But  none  of  these  provided  more 
than   a  visibility  during  darkness. 

With  the  advent  of  the  incandescent  lamp  and  the 
utilization  of  electricity's  flexibility,  illumination  became 
more  than  a  bare  necessity.  Its  proper  application  made 
houses,  homes. 

The  development  of  scientifically  correct  lighting  fix- 
tures and  artistic  portable  lamps  has  opened  an  unlimited 
field  for  decorative  and  comfort  possibilities  in  home 
lighting.  Harmful  glares  and  deep  shadows  have  been 
eliminated.  Coziness  and  soft  restfulness  have  taken  their 
place.  Correct  distribution  and  proper  diffusion  of  light 
are  the  influences  that  have  brought  about  this  difference. 

Redecorate  your  home  with  light.  A  look  around  each 
room  tonight  may  suggest  inexpensive  corrections  in  your 
lighting  equipment  that  will  not  only  produce  beauty, 
artistry  and  refinement  of  environment,  but  will  provide 
a  sense  of  solid  comfort  and  complete  personal  satisfac- 
tion  as  well. 


Our  representatives  or  those  of  any  lighting 
fixture  or  electrical  dealer's  store  u'ill  he  glad 
to  render  advice  and  assistance  in  any  home 
lighting  improvements  you  may  wish  to  make.

the  house  the  Park  Music  Hall  when  they  get 
possession   in   September. 

The  deal  is  significant  because  It  marks  the 
first  appearance  in  recent  years  of  East  Side 
burlesque  producers  along  Broadway.  The  new 
lessees  have  been  notably  successful  in  their 
operation  of  the  National  Winter  Garden  with 
this    type    of    amusement.

New  York  Building  Congress  to   Develop   Apprentices 

Committee  on  Apprenticeship,  Representing  Employers,  Labor  and  Related  Interests, 
Organized  With  Power  to  Analyze  Needs  and  Foster  Early  Constructive  Action 


AMONG  the  various  constructive  measures  being  under- 
taken by  the  New  York  Building  Congress  for  the  up- 
building of  the  construction  industry  there  is  nothing  of 
greater  importance  or  that  will  be  of  more  lasting  benefit  to 
the  industry  than  its  effort  to  stimulate  interest  in  the  revival 
of  the  apprentice  system  in  the  trades  affiliated  with  the  in- 
dustry. 

A  special  committee  was  appointed  to  investigate  into  the 
need  for  additional  apprentices  in  the  building  trades  and 
upon  its  report  the  Congress  inaugurated  a  movement  having 
for  its  object  a  revival  of  the  apprenticeship  system,  along 
with  the  teaching  of  American  ideals  of  citizenship.  Building 
trades-  employers  and  representatives  of  organized  labor  have 
materially  encouraged  this  movement,  feeling  that  in  this 
manner  the  industry  can  be  served  to  the  best  advantage,  and 
in  the  Committee  on  Apprenticeship  the  Congress  has  ap- 
pointed those  representing  all  phases  of  the  construction  in- 
dustry who  are  best  equipped  for  this  exacting  service. 

The  Committee  on  Apprenticeship  was  established  by  the 
New  York  Building  Congress  at  a  meeting  of  the  Executive 
Committee  of  the  Congress  held  January  10,  1922,  in  response 
to  the  demand  on  the  part  of  the  building  industry,  not  to 
create  unnecessary  numbers  of  journeymen  mechanics,  but 
rather  to  develop  men  better  trained  in  their  craft  and  in 
citizenship  than  present  day  trade  conditions  provide  or 
permit. 

The  membership  of  the  Committee  on  Apprenticeship  is 
composed  of  Alexander  M.  Bing,  real  estate;  Burt  L.  Fenner, 
architect;  Clarence  Stein,  architect;  Prof.  S.  O.  Miller,  struc- 
tural engineer,  Columbia  University;  Charles  A.  Fuller,  con- 
sulting engineer;  W.  G.  Luce,  contractor;  Wm.  H.  McKiever, 
heating  engineer;  Allan  Coggeshall,  electrical  contractor;  S.  J. 
Murphy,  plumbing  contractor;  Ronald  Taylor,  cement  flooring 
contractor;  M,  F.  Westergren,  sheet  metal  contractor;  Thomas 
B.  Clark,  Roswell  D.  Tompkins,  John  Halkett  and  Richard 
Pattison,  representing  the  Building  Trades'  Council ;  Michael 
Calloran,  Plasters'  Union;  E.  L.  Barnard,  lumber  dealer;  and 
Dr.  J.  L.  Elliott,  Hudson  Guild;  Peter  Brady,  Education  Com- 
mittee, New  York  State  Federation  of  Labor;  Morris  E.  Siegal, 
director.  New  York  Continuation  Schools ;  John  MunhoUand, 
chairman,  New  York  City  Advisory  Board  of  Vocational  Edu- 
cation; Fred  Moran,  executive  secretary.  New  York  City  Ad- 
visory Board  on  Vocational  Education  ;  and  W.  P.  Tienken, 
editorial  staff  of  the  Record  and  Guide,  representing  the  related 
interests. 

The  personnel  of  this  committee  is  designed  to  be  associate 
in  its  interests  and  control,  composed  as  it  is  of  persons 
representing  Investment,  Design,  Construction,  Labor,  Ma- 
terial Supply,  and  Related  Interests. 

The  committee  was  established,  as  expressed  by  Stephen  F. 
Voorhees,  president  of  the  New  York  Building  Congress,  for 
the  purpose  of  fostering  the  development  of  apprenticeship  in 
the  buildinn;  trades,  not  by  dictation,  but  by  acting  in  an  ad- 
visory capacity  with  similar  committees  from  the  various 
interests  represented  in  the  Congress. 

The  committee  is  designed  to  bring  together  the  knowledge, 
experience  and  judgment  of  employers,  labor  and  related  in- 
terests, for  the  advancement  of  mechanical  skill  in  the  building 
industry;  to  provide  an  opportunity  for  young  men  to  learn 
the   trades    involved    therein;    and   to    so    build    up    the    oppor- 


tunities offered  by  the  building  trades  that  they  will  attract 
young  men  in  America  who  are  not  ordinarily  interested. 

The  committee  proposes  to  co-operate  with  all  other  com- 
mittees, organizations  and  movements  of  trade,  labor  or  edu- 
cational interest,  by  bringing  their  activities  together  and 
overcoming  the  indifference  or  inertia  that  has  existed  and 
which  has  done  so  much  to  handicap  if  not  to  frustrate  the 
best  interests  of  training  in  the  building  trades. 

The  administration  is  vested  actively  in  an. Executive  Com- 
mittee of  the  General  Committee  on  Apprenticeship,  subject 
to  the  control  and  policies  adopted  by  the  General  Committee. 

The  Executive  Apprenticeship  Committee  is  composed  of 
equal  associate  direction  representing  employers,  labor  and 
related  interests.  The  personnel  of  this  committee  is  as  fol- 
lows: Burt  L.  Fenner,  chairman;  Clarence  S.  Stein,  secretary; 
Ronald  Taylor,  Roswell  D.  Tompkins,  Dr.  John  L.  Elliott,  M. 
F.  Westergren  and  John  Halkett. 

The  service  of  this  committee  is  rendered  through  the  ap- 
prenticeship headquarters  office  which  is  in  charge  of  a  special- 
ist on  apprenticeship,  Frank  L.  Glynn,  who  is  employed  by 
the  Congress  as  Educational  Advi,';or.  The  temporary  head- 
quarters of  this  committee  are  located  in  the  offices  of  Alex- 
ander M.  Bing,  587  Fifth  avenue,  and  office  hours  will  be 
maintained  from  nine  to  ten  o'clock  in  the  morning  and  four 
to  five  o'clock  in  the  afternoon,  or  otherwise  by  appointment. 

The  committee  will  provide  all  ir.formation  to  other  similar 
committees  or  organizations  that  may  be  of  value  to  facilitate 
the  general  development  of  apprenticeship  in  the  building 
trades,  and  the  members  of  the  committee  will  meet  with  such 
other  committees  or  organizations,  as  requested  for  the  pur- 
pose of  fostering  or  stimulating  the  development  of  appren- 
ticeship. 

Organization    and    Operation 

Whereas.  There  already  exists  in  all  divisions  of  the  Building  Trades 
.loint  Trade  Boards,  consisting  of  employer  and  labor  representatives, 
tor  the  regulation  of  policies  and  settlement  of  adjustments  in  relation 
to   trade  agreements,   and 

Whereas,  The  apprenticeship  problem  is  so  closely  interwoven  with 
the  activities  of  the  Joint  Trade  Board,  it  is 

BecOmmended :  That  the  estahlishment,  operation  and  control  and 
regulation  of  standards  and  educational  work  for  the  apprenticeship  in 
any  trade  be  determined  by  the  Joint  Board  of  that  craft  unless  the  Joint 
Board  establishes  a  special  Apprenticeship  Committee  for  that  purpose, 
and  it  is  further 

Recommended:  That  the  educational  work  be  under  the  immediate 
direction  of  the  Joint  Trade  Boards  or  Special  Apprenticeships  Com- 
mittees, but  in  either  case  educational  experts  should  act  with  such 
hoard  or  committee. 

Suggested    Work  for    Joint     Boards    or    Apprenticeship    Committees 

In  order  to  foster  the  fulk-sl   development,  it   is  reeommcndert  that  each 

Joint  Trade  Board  or  Apiirentieeship  Committee  adopt  rules  to  cover 
the  following  : 

I.  Enrollment  of  apprentiies  with  the  Joint  Trade  Board  or  Special 
Apprenticeship  Committee. 

-.  Identification  of  apitrentiees  in  the  trade  or  at  work. 

;i.  Probationary  period. 

4.  Maximum  and  minimum  age  for  apprenticeship. 

5.  Term  of  apprenticeship. 

fi.    Division  of  apprenticeshiij  into  periods  for  advancement. 

7.  Periodic  examination   of  apprentices. 

8.  Granting  of  advanced  credit  to  apprentices  for  previous  experience 
in  the  trade. 

0.    Transfer  system  for  interchange  of  employment. 
10.    Apprentice  wage  by   periods: 

At  work.

March  11,  1922 


February  Commitments  Predict  Great  Building  Revival 

Totals  for  Twenty-Seven  Northeastern  States,  Tabulated  by  F.  W.  Dodge  Company, 
Indicate  1922  Will  Be  Historic  Period  in  Construction  Industry 


FEBRUARY  construction  activity  was  73%  greater  in 
volume  than  it  was  in  the  corresponding  month  of  last 
year,  according  to  the  F.  W.  Dodge  Company.  The  total 
amount  of  contracts  awarded  last  month  in  the  27  Northeastern 
States  of  the  country  amounted  to  $177,365,000,  an  increase  of 
7%  over  January,  and  the  second  largest  February  total  in  the 
Dodge  Company's  record. 

A  significant  feature  of  the  February  construction  record  is 
the  increase  in  business  buildings  over  January.  The  increase 
in  square  feet  of  space  contracted  for  was  30%,  and  the  in- 
crease in  total  cost  was  65%.  February  business  buildings 
amounted  to  $39,180,000,  or  22%  of  the  month's  total,  an  un- 
usually high  percentage  for  this  class,  which  was  exceeded 
only  by  residential  building,  amounting  to  $75,703,000,  amount- 
ing to  $21,193,000,  or  12%  of  the  total. 

The  accumulated  volume  of  construction  since  the  first  of 
the  year  has  been  60%  greater  than  in  the  first  two  months  of 
last  year.  Contemplated  new  work  reported  in  the  first  two 
months  has  amounted  to  over  eight  hundred  million  dollars, 
more  than  double  the  amount  of  work  placed  under  contract 
in  the  same  period. 

Contracts  awarded  in  the  New  England  States  during  Feb- 
ruary amounted  to  $15,623,000.  This  was  more  than  double  the 
amount  of  February  of  last  year,  and  only  2%  under  January 
of  this  year.  It  is  the  second  largest  February  total  on  record 
for  this  district.  Among  the  items  included  in  the  February, 
1922,  total  were  the  following:  $7,115,000,  or  45%,  for  business 
buildings;  $4,463,000,  or  29%,  for  residential  buildings;  $1,599,- 
000,  or  10%,  for  educational  buildings;  $1,041,000,  or  4%,  for 
industrial  buildings. 

The  volume  of  contemplated  new  work  reported  continues 
large,  the  amount  in  February  having  been  $43,747,000,  or  nearly 
three  times  the  amount  of  work  actually  started. 

February  building  contracts  in  New  York  State  and  Northern 


New  Jersey  amounted  to  $59,328,000,  the  largest  recorded 
February  total  for  the  district.  This  figure  shows  an  increase 
of  9%  over  that  for  the  previous  month  and  is  two  and  a  half 
times  the  figure  for  February,  1921. 

The  February,  1922,  total  included  $38,374,000,  or  65%,  for 
residential  buildings;  $10,117,000,  or  17%,  for  business  buildings; 
and  $2,851,000,  or  5%,  for  industrial  buildings.  Contemplated 
new  work  reported  during  the  month  amounted  to  $82,133,000. 

Total  building  contracts  awarded  in  New  York  City  (five 
boroughs)  during  the  month  of  February  amounted  to  $37,- 
718,500.  This  was  an  increase  of  13%  over  the  January  figure 
and  was  nearly  two  and  a  half  times  the  figure  for  February 
of  last  year.  Residential  building,  which  showed  a  slight  in- 
crease in  February  over  the  previous  month,  amounted  to 
$27,747,300,  or  12,%  of  the  total  construction.  Business  build- 
ings in  February  amounted  to  $7,751,000,  an  increase  of  75% 
over  the  amount  for  January. 

February  building  contracts  in  the  Middle  Atlantic  States 
(Eastern  Pennsylvania,  Southern  New  Jersey,  Delaware,  Mary- 
land, District  of  Columbia,  and  the  Carolinas)  amounted  to 
$27,387,000,  an  increase  of  13%  over  January  and  of  67%  over 
the  corresponding  month  of  last  year. 

Included  in  the  February  total  were  :  $12,527,000,  or  46%,  for 
residential  buildings;  $3,987,000,  or  15%,  for  business  buildings; 
$3,590,000,  or  13%,  for  public  work  and  utilities;  and  $3,268,000, 
or  12%,  for  hospitals  and  institutions. 

Contemplated  new  work  reported  during  the  month  amounted 
to  $62,043,000,  more  than  double  the  amount  of  contracts 
awarded. 

Contracts  awarded  during  February  in  Western  Pennsyl- 
vania, West  Virginia,  Ohio,  Kentucky  and  Tennessee  amounted 
to  $24,881,000.  Although  this  is  4%  under  the  January  figure,  it 
is  28%  ahead  of  the  figure  for  February,  1921.  This  February 
total    for    this    district    was    exceeded    only    once    before.

Development    and    Managrement 

Whereas,  There  should  be  a  directing  force  for  the  development  and 
management  of  the  apprenticeship  in  all  trades  as  organized  and  operated 
through  many  Joint  Boards  or  Apprenticeship  Committees,  and 


Whereas.  The  Building  Trades  Employers'  Association  and  the  Building 
Trades  Unions  are  conversant  with  the  mutual  problems  and  needs  of  the 
■building  trades,   be  it 

Resolved:  That  we  recommend  the  establishment  of  a  permanent  Gen- 
eral Joint  Apprenticeship  Committee  of  Development  and  IManagement, 
composed  of  equal  representation  from  the  Building  Trades  Employers' 
Association  and  other  employers'  associations  in  the  building  trades  and 
the  Building  Trades  Unions,  inclusive  of  the  Building  Trades  Council,  thi 
Plasterers'  Union  and  the  Bricklayers'  Union,  and  further,  bet  it 

Recommended:  That  this  General  Joint  Committee  have  authority  and 
necessary  funds,  financed  equally  and  jointly  by  the  employers  and 
unions,  for  the  employment  of  full  time  assistants  who  shall  manage  and 
develop   the   apprenticeship   program. 

Continuous  Employment  of  Apprentices 

Whereas,  There  are  seasonal  unemployment  conditions  to  be  met  In  the 
development  of  apprenticeship  for  the  building  industry,  and 

Whereas,  The  entire  success  of  the  apprenticeship  in  the  building  trades 
la  based  on  the  continuous  employment  and  guidance  of  the  apprentice, 
and 

Whereas,  The  seasonal  unemployment  periods  of  the  trade  may  result 
in  attracting  the  apprentice  to  the  opportunities  of  other  fields  of  em- 
ployment and  so  divert  him  from  his  chosen  trade  pursuit,  be  it 

Recommended:  That  the  fundamental  duty  and  responsibility  of  pro- 
viding continuous  employment  for  regularly  enrolled  apprentices  shall 
rest  with  the  General  or  the  Joint  Trade  Boards,  or  Apprenticeship 
Committees. 

In  the  matter  of  Related  Technical  Schooling  and  Training 
in  Citizenship,  the  report  declares  that  inasmuch  as  the  public 
schools  are  designed  and  equipped  to  give  the  necessary  part- 
time  instructions  to  apprentices  it  should  be  the  purpose  of 
the  Joint  Trade  Board  or  Apprenticeship  Committee  in  each 
trade  or  craft  to  endeavor  to  enter  into  partnership  with  the 
public  continuation  school  system  in  these  undertakings,  and 
wherever  possible  to  have  the  work  done  in  co-operation  with 
the  public  continuation  schools,  but  where  such  co-operation 
cannot  be  obtained,  the  trades  or  crafts  should  use  other 
existing  facilities  or  open  their  own  schools  in  connection  with 
educators  of  their  own  choice.

Housing  Construction  Dominates  Local  Building  Program 

Figures  Tabulated  By  F.  W.  Dodge  Company  Shows  Steady  Gain  in  Projected 
Residential  Work  on  Schedule  for  Coming  Season 


IN  anticipation  of  the  extension  of  the  tax  exemption  laws 
for  another  year  speculative  builders  are  making  active 
preparations  for  an  unusually  heavy  program  of  residen- 
tial construction  during  the  coming  summer  season.  Already 
there  has  been  a  large  amount  of  this  work  started  and  archi- 
tects are  working  steadily  on  plans  for  projects  that  will  ma- 
ture just  as  soon  as  it  is  definitely  known  what  action  the 
Legislature  will  take.  The  building  statistics  for  the  ninth 
week  of  this  year  indicate  strongly  the  manner  in  which  specu- 
lative building  will  dominate  the  situation  during  the  coming 
months  as  the  current  reports  of  contracts  awarded  and  pro- 
posed constructon  all  show  this  type  of  building  to  be  far  in 
excess  of  the  combined  totals  of  all  other  kinds  in  the  local 
territory. 

Figures  tabulated  by  the  F.  W.  Dodge  Company,  for  the  ter- 
ritory including  all  of  New  York  State  and  New  Jersey,  north 
of  Trenton,  show  that  during  the  week  of  February  25  to 
March  3,  inclusive,  plans  were  reported  for  67S  projects  at  an 
estimated  total  cost  of  $29,904,100.     During  the  same  week  360 


contracts  were  announced  as  awarded  and  their  total  value 
was  approximately  $19,920,400. 

Included  in  the  list  of  newly  proposed  operations  in  this  ter- 
ritory were  11  business  buildings  such  as  stores,  offices,  lofts, 
commercial  garages,  etc.,  $2,456,500;  7  educational  buildings, 
$405,000;  3  hospitals  and  institutions,  $208,000;  16  factory  and 
industrial  operations,  $436,000;  1  public  building,  $500,000;  32 
public  works  and  public  utilities,  $6,843,100;  8  religious  and 
memorial  structures,  $593,500;  525  residential  operations  includ- 
ing apartments,  flats  and  tenements  and  one  and  two-family 
dwellings,  $18,159,000  and  6  social  and  recreational  projects, 
$303,000. 

Among  the  360  operations  for  which  contracts  were  reported 
during  the  ninth  week  of  1922  there  were  51  business  and  com- 
mercial buildings,  $2,627,500;  8  educational  projects,  $1,200,000; 
3  hospitals  and  institutions,  $605,000;  11  factory  and  industrial 
operations:  $233,000;  2  public  buildings,  $300,000;  10  public 
works  and  public  utitHties,  $910,000;  5  religious  and  memorial 
structures,  $552,000;  264  residential  projects  of  various  types, 
$12,695,100  and  6  social  and  recreational  projects,  $797,000.

TRADE  AND  TECHNICAL 
SOCIETY  EVENTS. 


Society  of  Meclianics  and  Tradesmen. 

E.  L.  Hoffman,  general  secretary  of  the 
General  Society  of  Mechanics  and  Trades- 
men, has  just  made  public  the  one  hundred 
and  thirty-sixth  annual  report  of  this 
organization.  The  society,  which  conducts 
the  Mechanics'  Institute,  16-24  West 
Forty-fourth  street,  reports  an  enrollment 
in  1921-22  of  1,577  students  who  are  re- 
ceiving free  instruction  in  architectural 
and  mechanical  drafting,  freehand  draw- 
ing, mathematics,  industrial  electricity 
and  physics.  The  report  shows  a  steady 
gain  in  interest  in  the  work  of  this  society 
on  the  part  of  the  student  body  and  is  an 
evidence  of  splendid  support  and  co- 
operation by  those  responsible  for  its 
being. 


Elevator  Manufacturer  Expands  Facilities 

The  American  Machine  &  Foundry  Com- 
pany has  acquired  a  substantial  interest 
In  the  Gurney  Elevator  Company,  and  it 
Is  understood  that  hereafter  Gurney 
Elevators  will  be  manufactured  in  the 
plant  of  the  American  Machine  &  Foundry 
Company,  in  Brooklyn,  in  addition  to  the 
Gurney  Elevator  Company's  plant  at 
Honesdale.  Pennsylvania. 

This  arrangement  was  brought  about  to 
provide  increased  manufacturing  facilities 
for  the  rapidly  growing  business  of  the 
Gurney  Elevator  Company,  partly  due  to 
their  entrance  into  the  field  of  high-speed 
gearless  elevators. 

With  these  added  facilities  the  Gurney 
Elevator  Company  will  have  the  largest 
elevator  manufacturing  plant  in  the 
world.

RECORD    AND     GUIDE 


March  11,  1922 


CURRENT    BUILDING    OPERATIONS 


T  OCAL.  building  interests  are  practically 
marking  time  pending  action  of  the 
Legislature  on  the  bills  presented  by  the 
Lockwood  Committee.  These  bills,  en- 
cated  into  law.  will  materially  affect  the 
building  industry  in  a  variety  of  ways 
and  until  it  is  definitely  known  what  to 
expect  the  building  fraternity  will  con- 
tinue  to   hold   off. 

Speculative  builders,  with  complete  con- 
fidence that  exemption  from  taxation  will 
be  continued  for  at  least  another  year, 
are  making  preparations  for  a  gigantic 
program  of  apartment  house  construction. 
All  boroughs  of  the  city  will  be  affected 
by  this  movement  and  already  there  is 
heard  complaints  of  a  shortage  of  men 
and  materials  essential  to  this  work. 
Many  predictions  are  being  made  that  the 
coming  season's  work  will  be  seriously 
curtailed  by  a  scarcity  of  materials,  along 
with  steadily  advancing  prices,  and  a  con- 
tinuation of  extortionate  wages  to  labor. 
If  this  occurs,  construction  costs,  for 
residential  work  particularly,  will  remain 
at  their  prevailing  high  levels  and  rentals 
will  not  come  down  for  another  year  at 
least. 

At  present  the  local  building  materia! 
markets  are  turning  away  business  be- 
cause of  the  scarcity  of  common  brick, 
but  advices  from  manufacturers  indicate 
that  within  the  next  week  or  ten  days 
there  will  be  adequate  brick  on  hand  to 
supply  all  immediate  demands.  Material 
prices  are  generally  firm  and  no  changes 
of  importance  are  pending. 

Conimon  Brick — Demand  for  common 
brick  is  far  in  excess  of  the  supply  at 
present  and  considerable  construction  is 
being"  held  up  in  this  city  owing  to 
the  scarcity  of  this  commodity.  The  yards 
of  the  dealers  are  entirely  cleaned  out 
and  there  is  no  brick  available  in  the 
wholesale  market.  Manufacturers,  how- 
ever, report  that  the  river  is  again  open 
to  navigation  as  far  north  as  Newburgh 
and  that  within  the  next  few  days  a  suffi- 
cient quantity  of  common  brick  will  arrive 
to  fill  all  immediate  requirements.  Six 
barge  loads  arrived  during  the  week  from 
up-river  and  they  were  immediately 
snapped  up  by  dealers  who  were  com- 
mitted to  contracts  for  deliveries.  It  is 
understood  that  at  least  fifteen  barges 
are  now  in  transit  and  their  early  arrival 
will  materially  ease  the  brick  situation. 
Prices  are  quite  firm  and  although  there 
have  been  some  rumors  of  lower  prices  it 
will  not  be  safe  to  count  upon  obtaining 
brick  under  the  $17  a  thousand  level  for 
some  time,  at  least  not  until  the  demands 
of    the    moment    are    completely    satisfied 


and  there  is  a  surplus  on  hand  in  the 
wholesale  market. 

Summary — Transactions  in  the  North 
River  brick  market  for  the  week  ending- 
Thursday,  March  9,  1922.  Condition  of 
market:  Demand  strong;  prices  very  firm. 
Quotations;  Hudson  Rivers,  $17  a  thou- 
sand to  dealers  in  cargo  lots  alongside 
dock.  Number  of  cargoes  arrived,  6; 
sales,  6.  Distribution:  Manhattan,  3; 
Brooklyn,    3;   Astoria,    1. 

Builders'  Hardivare — Demand  is  active 
and  all  reports  indicate  a  steady  improve- 
ment   In    the    volume    of    business    during 


the  coming  months.  Manufacturers  are 
preparing  for  an  unusually  busy  season, 
and  practically  all  plants  are  working  on 
full  time.  Jobbers'  stocks  are  complete 
and  retailers  are  buying  better  than  they 
have  recently  in  anticipation  of  the  early 
spring  rush  for  building  materials  and 
supplies.  Prices  are  steady  and  without 
change. 

Electrical  Supplies — A  moderate  in- 
crease in  the  demand  for  wiring  supplies), 
particularly  for  the  suburban  districts, 
continued  during  the  past  week.  The 
majority  of  the  local  jobbers  are  optimls-

tic  and  feel  that  the  improvement  noted  in 
the  trade  during  the  past  few  weeks  is 
but  the  forerunner  of  greatly  increased 
buying-  interest.  The  fact  that  many  of 
the  recent  orders  are  for  larger  quantities 
than  usual  is  taken  as  an  excellent  sign 
of  the  trend  of  trade.  Several  changes  in 
prices  of  standard  materials  have  been  re- 
ported during  the  past  week  or  ten  days. 
Quotations  on  rubber-covered  wire  and 
flexible  armored  conductor  are  somewhat 
easier  but  without  a  definite  change  an- 
nounced. Two  manufacturers  have  low- 
ered their  prices  on  flush  receptacles  and 


plug  cut-outs,  and  an  additional  five  per 
cent,  discount  is  being  allowed  on  gang 
boxes.  For  the  most  part  jobbers'  stocks 
are  complete  and  ready  for  the  spring 
building  revival. 

Structural  Steel — The  local  market  for 
structural  steel  continues  fairly  active, 
and  although  fewer  contracts  have  been

port  that  a  large  number  of  new  projects 
will  be  released  for  bids  within  a  short 
time.  As  a  whole  the  outlook  for  the 
steel  industry  is  excellent  as  far  as  local 
building  is  concerned,  and  the  next  four 
Or  five  weeks  should  witness  a  marked 
improvement  in  the  rate  of  activity. 
Prices  are  generally  unchanged  with 
fabricated  material  holding  around  $G0  to 
$65  per  ton,  erected. 

Reinforcing-  Bars — Demand  is  slightly 
more  active  than  it  has  been  as  a  con- 
sequence of  the  award  of  general  con- 
tracts for  several  important  industrial 
projects.  The  industry  is  encouraged 
over  the  outlook  for  the  coming  months 
as  there  is  considerable  new  work  in 
prospect  that  will  involve  the  use  of  a 
large  total  concrete  bar  tonnage.  Prices 
are  firm  and  without  change. 

Lumber — At  the  present  time  there  Is  a 
dearth  of  activity  in  both  wholesale  and 
retail  departments  of  the  lumber  market, 
but  local  dealers  are  confident  that  -within 
a  very  short  time  conditions  will  ma- 
terially improve.  The  feeling  is  general 
among  the  selling  interests  that  there 
will  be  an  excellent  run  of  business  dur- 
ing tlie  coming  spring,  as  there  is  a  large 
amount  of  new  construction  being  planned 
for  an  early  start.  Reports  from  retail 
yards  catering  to  alteration  work  and 
manufacturers  indicate  a  steadily  improv- 
ing demand.  Although  lumber  prices  are 
fairly  steady  at  the  present  time  there  are 
strong  Indications  that  the  spring  demand 
will  influence  slightly  higher  levels  be- 
cause of  the  conditions  at  the  production 
centers. 

Cast  Iron  Pipe. — The  market  for  this 
commodity  continues  to  improve  and 
manufacturers  are  particularly  well 
pleased  with  the  prospects  for  the  coming 
season.  There  has  been  an  Increase  in 
municipal  business  offered  during  the  past 
few  weeks  and  private  buyers  are  more 
numerous  and  their  orders  larger.  Al- 
though prices  are  unchanged  at  present 
tliere  is  a  decided  tendency  toward  stiff- 
ening, and  the  trade  is  likely  to  receive 
an  announcement  of  higher  prices  in  the 
near  future.  Current  quotations  on  cast 
iron  pipe  are  as  follows:  6  In.  and  heavier, 
$47.30  per  net  ton.  New  York;  4  In.  and  5 
in..  $52.30,  and  3  in.,  $63.30,  with  Class  A 
and  gas  pipe  $4  per  ton  extra. 

Linseed  Oil — The  demand  remains  light 
and  local  Jobbers  are  of  the  opinion  that 
no  change  in  the  trade  situation  will  come 
about  for  some  weeks  yet.  Business  will 
not  improve  to  any  extent  until  after  the 
spring  alteration  and  repair  work  is  well 
under   way.

A  Trust  Fund  That 
Cannot  Shrink 

NO.  7 

If  you  are  a  trustee  and  invest 
the  money  to  your  best  ability  but 
the  investments  are  worth  less 
when  the  time  comes  to  account, 
the  beneficiaries  unjustly,  perhaps, 
feel  that  you  have  not  done  your 
full  duty. 

There  is  one .  way  you  can  avoid  this. 
If  you  invest  your  funds  in  the  Guaran- 
teed Mortgages  of  the  Bond  &  Mortgage 
Guarantee  Company,  there  will  be  no 
shrinkage  in  the  principal  and  no  failure 
in  the  interest  and  when  the  day  comes 
to  pay,  your  securities  will  be   worth  par. 

There  is  one  way  you  can  avoid  this, 
this  prophecy  can  be  made  with  con- 
fidence.

Fate  of  the  Lockwood  Bills 

The  many  bills  proposed  by  the  Lockwood  Housing 
Committee  held  the  center  of  the  Albany  stage  right  up  to 
the  final  hours  of  the  Legislative  Session  of  1922.  As  a 
consequence,  discussion  of  many  other  measures,  some  of 
which  were  of  much  more  importance  than  the  Lockwood 
bills,  was  limited.  Such  a  hullabaloo  about  the  Lockwood 
bills  was  raised  by  Chief  Counsel  Untermyer  and  Senator 
Lockwood  himself  that  people  interested  in  home  rule,  the 
traction  situation,  the  state  water  power  problem  and  other 
important  matters  had  little  more  opportunity  to  be  heard 
than  an  outsider  trying  to  interrupt  a  discussion  between 
fishmongers'  wives.  In  fact,  the  closing  hours  of  the  Legis- 
lature might  aptly  be  described  as  a  monkey-and-parrot 
time,  with  most  of  the  onlookers  wondering  what  the  row 
was  all  about. 

It  is  an  old  trick  at  Albany  to  raise  a  cry  about  an  "in- 
sidious lobby"  whenever  the  advocates  of  certain  legislation 
find  that  their  pet  measures  are  in  danger  of  being  defeated. 
This  trick  is  so  ancient  that  there  was  a  good  deal  of  sur- 
prise when  it  was  worked  so  hard  in  behalf  of  the 
twenty-three  bills  presented  by  the  Lockwood  Committee. 
In  the  old  days  at  Albany  all  that  was  necessary  to  defeat 
certain  measures  or  to  force  the  passage  of  certain  meas- 
■  ures  was  to  shout  from  the  heights  of  Capitol  Hill  that  an 
"insidious  lobby"  favored  the  bill  or  that  an  "insidious  lob- 
by" opposed  that  bill.  But  the  old  gag  has  become  thread- 
bare with  time  and  the  legislators  this  year  seemed  to  be  less 
awed  than  formerly  by  it. 

If  noise  and  statements  and  charges  could  ''put  across" 
a  specific  program  then  all  of  the  twenty-three  pet  measures 
of  the  Lockwood  Committee  would  have  gone  through  the 
Legislature  with  a  whoop.  But,  fortunately,  legislators  do 
occasionally  stop  long  enough  to  get  a  reliable  angle  on  the 
demands  of  the  noise-makers.  This  was  illustrated  in  the 
Legislature's  deliberation  on  the  Lockwood  bills.  Instead 
of  being  driven  pell-mell  into  passage  of  all  of  these  m.eas- 
ures  in  the  closing  hours  of  the  session,  some  of  the 
legislators  had  the  courage  to  act  independently  and  to 
pass  on  the  twenty-three  Lockwood  bills  according  to  their 
own  judgment.  For  pursuing  this  course  some  of  them 
were  roundly  abused  by  advocates  of  the  Lockwood  bills, 
but  they  are  entitled  to  credit  for  maintaining  the  position 
that  the  Legislature  itself,  rather  than  a  legislative  com- 
mittee, continues  to  be  the  law-making  body  of  the  state. 

There  would  not  have  been  so  much  noise  and  confusion 
at  Albany  during  the  last  two  weeks  of  the  session  it  ad- 
vocates of  the  Lockwood  program  had  kept  in  mind  that 
not  all  of  the  concentrated  wisdom  of  the  ages  had  been 
bestowed  on  any  one  group  of  men.  The  Lockwoodites 
seemed  to  take  the  position  that  the  measures  reported  by 
the  committee  were  the  only  simon-pure  palliatives  for 
present-day  troubles  in  a  wide  field,  and  that  was  a  pretty 
broad  a"sum])tion  for  any  group  to  defend.  It  is  always 
possible  for  investigators  or  bill  drafters,  or  even  for  ex- 
perts themselves,  to  be  mistaken  or  to  get  a  wrong  slant  on 
the  best  wav  to  handle  a  given  situation.     Members  of  the 


Legislature,  therefore,  were  well  within  their  rights  in 
deciding  to  exercise  their  own  judgment  as  to  each  of  the 
Lockwood  proposals.  Even  Senator  Lockwood  himself 
exercised  this  privilege  when  he  asked  to  be  excused  from 
voting  on  one  of  the  committee's  bill  which  failed  of  pas- 
sage in  the  Senate  on  Tuesday. 

In  considering  the  many  measures  proposed  by  the  Lock- 
wood  Committee  it  should  be  borne  in  mind  that  the 
Legislature,  in  several  instances  by  a  unanimous  vote, 
adopted  those  features  of  the  Lockwood  program  in  which 
the  public  has  shown  the  greatest  interest.  It  may  be, 
therefore,  that  the  Lockwoodites  obtained  in  the  closing 
hours  of  the  session  all  that  they  had  expected  in  the  first 
place,  and  that  the  extra  noise  was  thrown  in  on  a  chance 
that  they  might  get  a  little  more. 


Future  of  the  Building  Trades'  Council 

The  action  of  John  Donlin,  President  of  the  Building 
Trades  Department  of  the  American  Federation  of  Labor, 
in  revoking  the  charter  of  the  New  York  Building  Trades' 
Council,  is  likely  to  have  little  or  no  immediate  effect  upon 
the  local  labor  situation.  The  Council  will  continue  to 
function  as  a  corporate  body  despite  the  refusal  of  the 
American  Federation  of  Labor  to  recognize  it  further,  and, 
while  it  remains  in  existence,  the  employers  in  those  trades 
represented  in  its  membership  will  continue  to  deal  individ- 
ually and  collectively  with  the  local  group  regardless  of  its 
standing  with  the  so-called  parent  organization. 

Revocation  of  the  Council's  charter  did  not  come  as  a 
surprise  to  many  of  the  employers  in  the  building  industry. 
For  some  time  past  the  Council  has  been  arbitrary  in  its 
manner  and  arrogant  in  its  dealings  with  the  Federation. 
Employers  generally  agree  that  in  taking  summary  action 
by  rescinding  this  charter  the  Federation  assumed  the  only 
possible  course  if  its  authority  was  not  to  be  flouted.  Builders 
however,  feel  certain  that  the  only  immediate  effect  of  the 
loss  of  the  Council's  charter  will  be  of  a  purely  psycho- 
logical order  and  that  conditions  otherwise  will  remain  un- 
changed. 

The  Building  Trades'  Council  stands  out  as  the 
d.ominating  factor  in  organized  building  trade  labor  circles 
and,  although  it  has  repeatedly  disregarded  the  authority  of 
the  Federation,  the  latter  organization  has  been  powerless  to 
enforce  its  orders. 

Local  employers,  in  those  trades  affiliaved  with  (he  New 
York  Building  Trades'  Council,  must  continue  to  recognize 
this  organization  in  all  of  their  dealings  with  their  work- 
men. They  will  continue  these  dealings  as  long  as  the 
Council  exists  as  the  dominating  factor  in  local  organized 
l)uilding  labor.  As  the  employers,  both  organized  and  un- 
organized, have  nothing  to  gain  or  lose  as  a  result  of  the 
action  of  the  Federation,  they  are  not  taking  definite  sides 
at  the  present  time.  They  feel  certain,  however,  that  the 
revocation  of  the  Council's  charter  will  bring  its  members 
to  a  realization  of  the  fact  that  in  future  the  local  organiza- 
tion must  stand  entirely  alone,  without  the  support  of  the 
Federation  in  any  important  matters  that  may  arise.     This

will  undoubtedly  influence  a  change  of  attitude  on  the  part 
of  local  building  labor  in  the  problems  now  confronting 
them  and  will  within  a  short  time  be  responsible  for  a  re- 


organization of  their  business  methods  and  a  greater  willing- 
ness to  co-operate  with  the  employers  for  the  general 
advancement  of  the  construction  industry. 


Measure  Giving  Home  Rule  for  Cities  Agreed  On 


(Special  to  the  Record  and  Guide) 


Albany,  March  15. 

SENATOR  TOLBERT'S  constitutional  amendment,  giving 
to  cities  jurisdiction  over  all  local  affairs,  the  largest  meas- 
ure of  home  rule  ever  granted  by  the  State,  will  this  year 
and  at  the  next  session  be  passed  by  the  legislature  and  go 
to  a  referendum. 

This  action  has  been  decided  upon  by  committees  represent- 
ing the  RepubHcan  majorities  in  the  Senate  and  Assembly. 
It  means  that  New  York  and  the  other  municipalities  are 
practically  certain  of  home  rule  not  later  than  1924.  The 
amendment  will  pass  this  session,  probably  the  1923  session  and 
go  to  a  vote  in  the  autumn  of  1923. 

As  amended  the  Tolbert  resolution  meets  the  approval  of 
the  Citizens  Union,  the  City  Club,  the  Mayors'  conference  and 
contains  substantially  the  recommendations  of  the  New  York 
officials.  It  gives  to  cities  practically  all  the  authority  now 
exercised  by  the  Legislature  in  dealing  with  local  affairs,  mak- 
ing the  municipality  a  coordinate  branch  with  the  Legislature. 

The  amendment  cuts  out  from  the  home  rule  provisions  all 
county  officers,  jurisdiction  over  which  will  remain  in  the 
Legislature.  The  administration  of  affairs  of  the  five  counties 
in   New   York   would   remain   practically   unchanged. 


The  important  and  fundamental  principle  underlying  this 
home  rule  amendment  is  that  all  legislative  acts  dealing  with 
cities  shall  be  by  general  laws  treating  all  alike.  The  Legisla- 
ture surrenders  its  authority  over  fixing  local  salaries,  con- 
solidating departments  and  hundreds  of  other  purely  local 
questions  now  controlled  by  Albany.* 

One  provision  in  the  Tolbert  amendment  is  that  in  order  that 
the  Legislature  may  pass  a  local  bill  relating  to  one  city  there 
must  be  an  emergency  message  from  the  Governor  and  the  bill 
must  receive  a  two-thirds  vote  in  both  houses  of  the  Legisla- 
ture. 

The  power  is  passed  on  to  the  municipalities  to  enact  all  laws 
dealing  with  their  own  affairs  which  are  not  in  conflict  with  the 
Constitution  or  the  general  laws  of  the  State.  The  provisions 
dealing  with  special  legislation  concerning  classes  of  cities  is 
also  stricken  out.  Administration  of  educational  affairs  re- 
mains as  it  is,  education  being  considered  purely  a  State 
function. 

Gov.  Miller's  suggestion  that  the  Legislature  create  a  special 
commission  to  study  home  rule  will  not  be  considered  by  the 
Legislature.  Senator  Tolbert  has  introduced  a  bill  carrying 
out  the  Governor's  recommendation,  but  the  Republican  con- 
ference this  afternoon  decided  not  to  pass  this  measure. 


Want  Shuttle  Service  in  Queens  Immediately 


THE  Queensboro  Chamber  of  Commerce,  through  its 
Transit  Committee,  of  which  Robert  W.  Higbie  is  chair- 
man, is  considering  the  proposal  that  the  New  York 
Municipal  Railway  operate  shuttle  trains  from  the  Bridge  Plaza 
Station,  Long  Island  City,  over  the  elevated  extensions  to  As- 
toria and  Corona.  Edward  A.  MacDougall,  who  is  chairman 
of  a  sub-committee  of  the  Transit  Committee  to  bring  about 
dual  operation  on  these  two  extensions,  is  carefully  studying 
all  plans  that  may  secure  the  immediate  inauguration  of  tempo- 
rary through  service. 

From  information  which  Mr.  MacDougall  has  received  from 
the  Transit  Commission,  the  inauguration  of  such  shuttle  serv- 
ice is  predicated  entirely  upon  the  construction  of  approximate- 
ly 1,500  feet  of  additional  elevated  track  down  Jackson  avenue 
toward  the  Court  House.  This  would  permit  the  B.  R.  T. 
trains,  which  now  come  from  Manhattan,  not  only  to  switch 
back,  but  leave  the  existing  tracks  open  for  shuttle  train  opera- 
tion. The  construction  of  this  spur,  it  is  understood,  would  re- 
quire an  expenditure  of  at  least  $300,000  and  would  take  from 
one  and  a  half  to  two  years  to  complete. 

The  Queensboro  Chamber  of  Commerce  has  asked  the  engi- 
neers of  the  Transit  Commission  to  advise  whether  some  plan 
can  be  worked  out  to  give  immediate  shuttle  service,  because 
business  interests,  and  residents  of  Queens  do  not  care  to  wait 
two  years  for  what  should  only  be  temporary  service. 

Walter  I.  Willis,  secretary  of  the  Queensboro  Chamber  of 
Commerce,  said  :  "The  Queensboro  Chamber  of  Commerce  be- 


lieves that  there  is  no  more  important  public  improvement  af- 
fecting every  section  of  Queens  Borough  than  the  through  op- 
eration of  the  Broadway-59th  Street  subway  trains  of  the  New 
York  Municipal  Railway,  which  now  terminate  at  the  Bridge 
Plaza  station,  to  the  terminus  of  the  Astoria  extension  at  Dit- 
mars  avenue  and  over  the  Corona  extension,  through  the  Wood- 
side  Transfer  station  of  the  Long  Island  Railroad,  to  Alburtis 
avenue.  Corona,  and  later  to  Main  street.  Flushing.  It  was 
largely  through  the  efforts  of  the  Queensboro  Chamber  of 
Commerce  that  the  Dual  Subway  contracts,  signed  in  March, 
1913,  included  provision  for  trackage  rights  for  the  B.  R.  T. 
on  these  two  extensions. 

"The  only  real  permanent  solution,  and  the  solution  to  which 
the  Borough  of  Queens  is  entitled  in  return  for  the  taxes  it 
pays  upon  the  $750,000,000  realty  valuations,  is  the  through 
operation  of  the  trains  from  Manhattan  over  these  extensions. 

"The  present  congestion  of  passenger  traffic  at  the  Manhat- 
tan terminus  of  the  Queensboro  Subway  is  intolerable.  Its  con- 
tinuance is  preventing  the  manufacturers  of  Queens  from  se- 
curing many  employes  who  live  in  other  boroughs  who  must 
pass  tlirough  that  point.  It  is  also  retarding  the  residential 
dcve.lopmcnt  of  Queens.  The  congestion  can  be  reduced  in  two 
ways;  First,  by  the  construction  and  operation  of  the  extension 
of  the  Queensboro  Subway  to  Times  Square,  which  will  per- 
mit at  least  one-half  of  the  passengers  to  remain  on  the  trains  ; 
and,  second,  by  the  dual  operation  of  the  Astoria  and  Corona 
extensions,  which  will  enable  the  residents  and  employes  of 
Queens  to  avoid  entirely  that  congested  point." 


Monthly    Dinner    Meetings    of    Building    Managers  Growing  in  Popularity 


NEARLY  one  hundred  members  of  the  New  York  Build- 
ing Managers'  and  Owners'  Association  were  present  at 
the  regular  monthly  dinner  meeting,  which  was  held  at 
the  Advertising  Club,  Tuesday  evening,  March  IS.  E.  Everett 
Thorpe,  president,  occupied  the  chair  and  the  guests  of  the 
evening  were  Dean  Vincent,  of  Portland,  Ore.,  vice-president 
of  the  National  Association  of  Building  Managers,  and  Charles 
Brady,   Superintendent  of   Buildings   for   Manhattan. 

After  the  conclusion  of  the  dinner  the  chairman  introduced 
Mr.    Vincent,    who    spoke    briefly   of   the    1921    Convention    at 


Portland  and  of  National  Association  affairs  in  general.  He 
was  followed  by  Superintendent  Brady,  who  offered  the  fullest 
co-operation  of  his  department  on  all  matters  in  which  build- 
ing managers  are  interested. 

The  routine  business  of  the  evening  included  the  reading  of 
several  interesting  reports,  all  of  which  showed  the  associa- 
tion to  be  in  a  flourishing  condition,  with  its  committees 
working  harmoniously  for  the  benefit  of  all,  and  demonstrated 
that  the  constructive  program  for  the  year,  announced  at  the 
annual  meeting,  will  be  carried  out.

Mr.  MacNulty  Shows  Relation  of  Charter  Revision  to  Realty 

Counsel  to  Real  Estate  Board   in  Y.  M.  C.  A.  Lecture  Course  Explains  Why 
Radical  Changes  Are  Necessary  for  Protection  of  Taxpayers 


THE  subject  of  discussion  before  the  Real  Estate  Class 
of  the  West  Side  Y.  M.  C.  A.  on  Tuesday  evening  was 
one  of  great  interest  to  every  property  owner  and  ten- 
ant, especially  at  this  time:  "The  Revision  of  the  Greater  New 
York  Charter  As  It  Affects  Real  Estate." 

Alexander  C.  MacNulty,  counsel  to  the  Real  Estate  Board 
of  New  York,  formerly  an  Assistant  Corporation  Counsel,  was 
the  speaker. 

Introducing  Mr.  MacNulty  to  the  class,  Harry  A.  Kahlcr, 
president  of  the  New  York  Title  &  Mortgage  Co.,  who  presided, 
prefaced  his  introduction  with  timely  remarks  on  the  duty  of 
every  property  owner  to  take  a  lively  interest  in  all  matters 
pertaining  to  taxation  and  the  relation  of  the  Charter  to  them, 
declaring  that  aroused  interest  means  better  and  more  eco- 
nomical government. 

Mr.  MacNulty  was  followed  closely  by  his  hearers,  some  of 
whom  asked  questions  when  he  finished.  Beginning  with  a  com- 
parison of  early  charters  and  the  present  charter  of  the  city, 
Mr.  MacNulty  said: 

"New  York,  or  New  Amsterdam,  as  it  was  then  known,  has 
been  a  chartered  city  since  1657,  when  the  Dutch  Government 
delegated  to  the  Schout,  Burgomasters  and  Schepens  of  the 
Town,  the  powers  and  duties  of  local  administration.  The  first 
charter  granted  the  city  by  the  British  Government  was  con- 
ferred by  the  Colonial  Governor,  Richard  NicoIIs,  on  June  12, 
1665.  It  delegated  the  broadest  measure  of  home  rule  to  the 
municipality  in  a  document  comprising  less  than  400  words.  The 
Nicolls'  charter  was  succeeded  by  that  granted  by  the  Colonial 
Governor,  Thomas  Dongan,  on  April  20,  1686,  which  more  com- 
prehensively specified  the  powers  conferred  upon  the  city  and, 
for  the  first  time,  prescribed  the  structure  of  its  government; 
all  of  which  was  set  forth  in  a  document  that  covers  but  a 
dozen  printed  pages.  The  charter  granted  the  city  by  Governor 
Cornbury,  on  April  19,  1708,  was  also  a  very  brief  instrument 
that  re-affirmed  all  prior  grants  and  conferred  additional  ferry 
and  water  front  powers  and  privileges.  The  Dongan  charter, 
as  amended  by  the  Cornbury  grant,  was  superseded  on  Janu- 
ary IS,  1739,  by  a  charter  promulgated  by  Governor  Montgom- 
erie,  which  was  the  last  of  the  Colonial  grants,  the  act  of  the 
Governor,  Council  and  Assembly  of  the  Colony  of  New  York, 
enacted,  October  14,  1732,  being  merely  confirmatory  of  rights 
and  privileges  previously  granted.  The  Montgomerie  charter 
was  a  revision  and  enlargement  of  the  Dongan  grant,  yet  it 
comprised  but  40  sections,  covering  but  36  printed  pages. 

"Contrasted  with  the  brief  but  amply  sufficient  Colonial 
grants,  the  existing  cumbersome  Greater  New  York  charter  is 
a  mystery  to  the  layman  and  a  vexation  to  lawyers  and  jurists, 
containing  as  it  does  1620  illogically  arranged  sections,  occupy- 
ing hundreds  of  pages  of  type.  But  even  this  formidable  volume 
does  not  include  all  of  the  laws  relating  especially  to  the  city. 
There  are  hundreds  of  special  acts  of  local  application  which 
are  not  included  in  the  existing  charter.  A  majority  of  these 
detached  special  laws  are  out  of  date,  but  many  of  them  con- 
tain harmful  or  helpful  provisions  that  are  in  full  effect. 

"Under  these  circumstances,  any  intelligent  efifort  at  charter 
revision  must  start  by  assembling  all  statutory  provisions  af- 
fecting the  city,  within  and  without  the  existing  charter.  From 
this  mass  of  material  the  vital  must  be  separated  from  the  ob- 
solete. After  discarding  laws  or  parts  of  laws  that  are  of  n,o 
consequence,  those  that  remain  must  be  again  divided.  Pro- 
visions which  confer  corporate  or  governmental  powers  or 
prescribe  the  framework  of  the  municipal  structure,  and  the 
powers  of  and  limitations  upon  its  numbers  should  be  reserved 
for  consideration  as  charter  material,  while  the  remainder 
might  well  be  relegated  to  appropriate  articles  of  the  Code  of 
Ordinances  and  thus  be  made  subject  to  repeal  or  amendment 
by  the  Board  of  Aldermen. 

"Naturally,  the  question  arises:  What  has  charter  revision  to 


do  with  the  welfare  of  real  estate?  The  necessity  for  revision 
does  not  arise  simply  because  the  charter  should  be  made 
briefer  or  more  understandable.  If  this  were  all  that  is  desir- 
able, the  task  would  be  a  mere  matter  of  re-codification.  The 
charter  revision  that  is  needed,  however,  involves  the  making 
of  many  radical  changes  not  only  in  the  form  of  our  municipal 
government,  but  also  in  the  policy  of  the  state  in  respect  of 
legislation  affecting  the  city  and,  particularly,  its  finances." 
ilr.  MacNulty  continued: 

"The  necessity  for  a  complete  overhauling  of  our  system  of  local 
administration  is  demonstrated  by  the  fact  that  our  annual  tax  budget, 
as  well  as  the  City  debt,  is  increasing  by  leaps  and  bounds,  which  means 
that  the  abnormal  expense  of  the  City  Government  is  adding  materially 
to  the  high  cost  of  living  of  every  citizen.  In  the  year  1915,  the  tax  bill 
for  the  support  of  the  various  departments  and  offices  of  New  York  City, 
including  the  boroughs  and  counties  comprised  therein,  was  .'^211.115,- 
(nG..S2.  On  the  basis  that  the  average  family  consists  of  five  persons,  the 
1,H.^O,000  families  in  the  City  of  New  York  in  lUlJj  contributed  on  an 
average  of  $201. U(>,  or  approximately  ,fl6.75  per  month,  to  the  expense 
of  our  local  government  for  that  year.  For  the  year  1921,  the  cost  of 
maintaining  the  local  administrations,  city  borough  and  county,  was 
$.j23,."j30.2]6.50,  which  divided  among  the  l,1520,(Ji'iO  resident  families 
gives  $2S084.  or  $23.:J2  per  month,  as  the  average  family  contribution  to 
last  year's  local  tax  bill. 

"The  extent  to  which  taxation  for  local  purposes  figures  in  the  living 
expenses  of  a  particular  family  depends  largely,  of  course,  upon  what  the 
family  pays  for  its  living  quarters,  but  the  ratio  remains  the  same, 
whether  the  family  owns  its  own  home  or  resides  in  a  rented  flat. 
There  is  included  in  every  tenant's  rent  his  proportional  share  of  the  tax 
bill  against  the  building  in  which  he  lives.  And  this  is  not  all.  He  con- 
tributes in  the  price  of  every  thing  he  buys  to  the  rent,  and,  therefore, 
to  the  land  tax  paid  upon  the  building  containing  each  store  he  patron- 
izes :  for  the  overhead  of  every  shop,  which  includes  its  rent,  must  be 
borne  proportionately  by  every  sale  it  makes.  In  view  of  the  fact  that 
this  burden  upon  the  average  family  has  increased  from  .$201.06  to 
.'(;2,S0.84  a  year,  since  191,")  it  behooves  us  to  ascertain  the  causes  of  this 
effect,  if  we  would  prevent  a  further  increase  of  the  load,  even  if  we 
may    not   materially   lighten    it. 

"Excluding  items  of  debt  service  the  taxes  imposed  for  the  expenses  of 
administering  the  government  of  the  City  and  the  boroughs  and  counties 
were  $72.!I20.784  greater  in  1921  than  in  1915.  Assuming  that  one-third 
of  this  increase  was  caused  by  unpreventable  advances  in  the  cost  of 
coal,  food  and  equipment,  etc.,  for  local  departments,  offices  and  institu- 
tions, the  balance,  .t;51,380.000,  was  expended  for  increases  in  the  city's 
personal  service  account,  covering  the  expense  of  newly  created  positions 
and  salary  raises. 

"The  local  appropriating  bodies  are  responsible  for  a  part  of  this 
increase  in  the  personal  service  account,  but  the  additions  to  salaries 
granted  by  them  are  thoroughly  defensible,  being,  as  a  rule,  utterly  in- 
commensurate with  the  advance  in  the  cost  of  every  item  of  living 
expense.  On  the  other  hand,  the  bulk  of  the  additional  cost  of  the  local 
personal  service  account  was  foisted  upon  the  shoulders  of  local  tax- 
payers by  special  acts  of  the  Legislature,  without  the  consent  and  over 
the   protest    of  the   City  Administration." 

Legislative  interference  with  the  purely  local  affairs  of  New 
York  City,  the  speaker  continued,  has  given  impetus  to  the  de- 
mand for  a  constitutional  amendment  that  will  provide  real 
home  rule  for  the  cities  of  .the  state  by  forbidding  the  Legisla- 
ture to  enact  special  h'.ws  creating  new  positions,  increasing 
salaries  or  otherwise  saddling  additional  burdens  upon  the  tax- 
payers of  a  particular  city.  Without  such  a  constitutional  pro- 
vision no  attempt  at  charter  revision,  however  capably  per- 
formed, can  accomplish  much  in  the  way  of  reducing  local  tax- 
ation. The  report  of  the  Ivins  Charter  Commission,  dated  No- 
vemlier  30,  1907,  stated:  "Under  the  existing  charter,  the  dis- 
tribution of  functions  and  location  of  powers  are  incoherent, 
illogical  and  impracticable,  which  results  in  conflicts  of  juris- 
diction and  extravagance." 

"These  conditions  still  continue,"  said  Mr.  MacNulty,  "and  the 
most  serious  of  them  is  the  inclusion  of  officers  having  great 
administrative  responsibilities  in  the  membership  of  the  Board 
of  Estimate  and  Apportionment,  which  is  virtually  the  board  of 
directors  of  the  local  municipal  corporation.  The  Mayor,  the 
Comptroller  and  the  Borough  presidents  all  have  to  give  atten- 
tion to  a  myriad  of  important  and  administrative  matters,  which 
should  have  their  prompt  and  often  their  personal  consideration. 
The  proper  performance  of  their  administrative  functions 
makes  such  demands  upon  them  that  none  of  these  officers  has 
the  time  thoroughly  to  investigate,  consider  and  determine  the 
merits  or  demerits  of  the  scores  of  propositions  involving  ap- 
propriations, bond  issues,  public  improvements  and  other  im- 
portant subjects  presented  to  and  acted  upon  by  the  Board  of 
Estimate  and  Apportionment  at  every  meeting.

Million  Dollar  Apartment  First  of  Its  Type  in  the  Bronx 

Nine-Stoi'y    Elevator    Project    on    Kingsbridge  Road  Being  Erected  by  Samuel 
Minskoff  From  Plans  by  Margon  &  Glaser,  Associated  Architects 

FOUNDATION  work  is  under  way  for  a  nine-story  ele- 
vator apartment  at  the  northwest  corner  of  Kingsbridge 
Road  and  Grand  Boulevard  and  Concourse,  the  Bronx, 
which,  when  completed,  will  represent  an  outlay  of  more  than 
$1,000,000.  The  structure  will  occpy  a  plot  with  frontages  of 
156  feet  in  Kingsbridge  Road  and  145  feet  on  the  Concourse, 
and  is  being  erected  by  Samuel  Minskoff,  president  of  the  S. 
and  L.  Building  Corporation,  from  plans  and  specifications 
prepared  by  Irving  Margon  and  Charles  Glaser,  associated 
architects. 

This  apartment  is  said  to  be  the  first  project  of  its  type  to 
be  constructed  in  Bronx  County  and  in  its  design  and  equip- 
ment will  be  incorporated  all  of  the  features  of  the  most 
modern  fireproof  multi-family  dwelling.  The  building  will 
provide  living  accommodations  for  a  total  of  one  hundred  and 
seventeen  families,  thirteen  apartments  on  each  floor,  and  the 
separate  units  will  consist  of  two  rooms  and  bath,  with  kitchen- 
ettes, to  six  rooms  and  two  baths.  The  structure  will  con- 
tain more  than  four  hundred  rooms.  Additional  rooms  for 
servants  are  being  provided  for  in  the  large  pent  house  on 
the  roof.  The  various  apartments  are  so  arranged  that  each 
living  unit  will  occupy  an  entire  wing  of  the  structure  and  the 
maximum  of  natural  light  and  ventilation  are  assured,  as  all 
rooms  are  outside  facing  either  the  streets  or  upon  courts  of 
unusually   large   dimensions. 

The  fagades  of  this  apartment  have  been  designed  in  thi- 
style  of  the  Italian  Renaissance  and  will  be  constructed  of 
face  brick  with  trimmings  of  terra  cotta  and  Indiana  lime- 
stone. The  large  entrance  hall  on  the  ground  floor  will  be 
decorated  and  furnished  in  the  Renaissance  style  and  two 
reception  rooms  adjacent  to  the  main  hall  will  be  decorated 
and  furnished  in  the   style  of  the  Adam  period. 

The  building  will  be  equipped  with  high-speed  electric  ele- 
vators of  the  A.  B.  See  type  and  there  will  be  intercommuni- 
cating house  telephones  in  addition  to  the  usual  individual 
telephones  in  each  apartment  which  will  be  served  through 
the  switchboard  in  the  main  entrance  hall.  The  floors  of  all 
kitchens  will  be  tiled  and  the  walls  tiled  to  a  height  of  six 
feet.  The  bathrooms  will  be  tiled  throughout  and  will  be 
equipped  with  modern  standing  needle  showers  and  receptor^;. 

The  rooms  have  been  planned  with  unusually  large  dimen- 
sions and  their  arrangement  in  relation  to  each  other  will  as- 
sure the   maximum  of  privacy.     Closet  room  is   ample  for  all

be  of  hardwood,  with  the  main  rooms  panelled  and  decorated 
to  suit  the   tastes  of  the  various  tenants. 

This  apartment  will  be  supplied  with  filtered  water  and  for 
the  convenience  of  the  tenants  owner  will  install  a  vacuum 
cleaning  plant  and  a  steam  laundry,  complete  with  all  modern

The  first  of  the  housing  measures  to  receive  attention  in  the 
Assembly,  which  waited  upon  the  efforts  of  the  Senate  as  far 
as  the  Lockwood  program  was  concerned,  was  the  proposal  to 
permit  insurance  companies  to  invest  a  percentage  of  their  as- 
sets in  apartment  house  construction.  The  Assembly  Rules 
Committee  reported  this  measure  favorably  almost  simultane- 
ously with  its  passage  by  the  Senate. 

.After   tlic   Galgano   bill    relating  to   the    dismissal   of   a   com- 


plaint in  an  action  to  foreclose  a  mortgage,  an  innocent  measure 
on  its  face,  but  in  reality  a  statute  which  would  prevent  fore- 
closure of  a  mortgage,  had  passed  the  Legislature  in  the 
turmoil  that  accompanied  the  consideration  of  the  so-called 
housing  bills,  representatives  of  the  New  York  City  Real  Estate 
Board  succeeded  in  having  the  measure  recalled  from  Governor 
Miller  and  amended.  The  amendments  at  this  time  effectually 
disposed  of  the  bill  for  this  session.  To  Edward  P.  Doyle, 
representing  the  Real  Estate  Board,  credit  is  given  for  the 
prompt  disposition  of  this  bungling  legislation.  The  Galgano 
liill  had  been  rushed  through  the  Legislature  in  the  final  days 
without  consideration. 

Before  the  Assembly  had  passed  upon  the  bill  permitting  life 
insurance  companies  to  invest  up  to  10  per  cent,  of  their 
resources  in  apartments  renting  for  not  more  than  nine  dollars 
per  room  a  month,  more  than  200  builders  had  asked  Governor 
Miller  to  give  a  hearing  on  this  proposal.  The  Governor 
indicated  that  he  would  hear  what  these  builders  had  to  say 
before  he  signed  this  or  any  of  the  other  bills  representing  the 
findings  of  the  Lockwood  committee.

Four  Important  Housing  Projects  Scheduled  for  Astoria 

Metropolitan  Life  Insurance  Co.  Loans  Total  of  $2,750,000  for  Operations  in  Norwood 
and  Arleigh  Sections  on  Property  Sold  by  Rickert-Brown  Realty  Co. 


PLANS  are  being  matured  for  several  large  residential 
building  operations  to  be  erected  in  the  Norwood  and 
Arleigh  sections  of  Long  Island  City,  at  a  total  cost  in 
excess  of  $5,000,000.  These  projects  will  be  located  on  land  sold 
by  the  Rickert-Brown  Realty  Company  to  four  prominent 
builders  who  plan  an  immediate  start  in  order  to  have  their 
structures  completed  and  ready  for  occupancy  early  next 
autumn.  The  proposed  operations  involve  the  erection  of  multi- 
family  dwellings  and  one  and  two-family  houses  and  a  number 
of  stores  will  also  be  included  in  the  development.  The  land 
purchased  by  these  builders  represents  a  total  cost  of  $1,060,000 
and  the  new  owners  have  obtained  from  the  Metropolitan  Life 
Insurance  Company  loans  aggregating  $2,750,000  to  carry  on  the 
construction. 

The  most  important  of  the  operations  scheduled  calls  for 
the  construction  of  sixty-eight  apartment  houses,  each  accom- 
modating six  families,  or  a  total  of  408  living  units.  They  will 
be  erected  by  Bernard  M.  Maltz,  who  has  bought  1,700  feet 
frontage  on  Sixth  and  Seventh  avenues,  between  Broadway 
and  Jamaica  avenue.  These  houses  will  be  three  stories  in 
height,  with  suites  of  four  rooms  and  bath  and  will  rent  from 
$12.50  to  $15  per  room  per  month.  The  builder  is  reported  as 
already  having  sold  seventeen  of  these  buildings  from  the  plans 
to  local  buyers.  Each  building  will  occupy  a  full  lot,  25x100 
feet  and  will  ha'.e  fronts  of  tapestry  brick  with  limestone  trim- 
mings. 


Mr.  Maltz  also  purchased  a  300-foot  frontage  on  Broadway, 
between  Fifth  and  Seventh  avenues,  on  which  he  will  erect 
fifteen  tliree-story  buildings,  with  stores  on  the  ground  floor 
and  apartments  above. 

Simon  Bernstein  bought  a  660-foot  frontage  on  Sixth  ave- 
nue, between  Grand  and  Jamaica  avenues,  which  he  intends 
immediately  improving  with  twenty-six  two-story  dwellings, 
each  accommodating  two  families.  These  houses  will  contain 
twelve  rooms  and  two  baths  and  are  designed  to  sell  for  $20,000 
each. 

Samuel  Bernstein  and  Philip  Kaye  have  purchased  a  plot 
v.-ith  a  frontage  of  540  feet  on  Eighth  avenue,  between  Grand 
and  Jamaica  avenues,  on  which  they  will  erect  twentj'-two  two- 
family  dwellings,  each  on  a  lot  25x100  feet.  These  houses  are 
similar  in  plan  and  design  to  those  scheduled  for  Sixth  avenue 

All  of  the  houses  in  the  Norwood  Gardens  district  will  be 
erected  from  plans  prepared  by  Walter  Hopkins,  of  Warren  & 
Wetmore,  and  will  harmonize  in  style  with  those  already  con- 
structed on  Seventh  avenue  from  designs  by  the  same  architect. 

David  W.  Keen  bought  200  lots  on  Potter  avenue  and  adjoin- 
ing streets  in  Arleigh,  on  which  he  plans  to  immediately  start 
the  construction  of  200  one-family  dwellings,  each  two  stories 
in  height.  These  houses  will  be  of  brick  and  will  contain  six 
rooms  and  bath  and  will  cost  a  total  of  $1,200,000.  These 
dwellings  arc  in  the  vicinity  of  145,  erected  a  short  time  ago 
by  the  Rickert-Brown  Realty  Company. 


Mr.  MacNultv  Shows  Relation  of  Charter  Revision  to  Realty 


(Continued  from  page  328) 
ship  of  the  Board  of  Estimate  and  Apportionment  until  1902. 
At  that  time  the  city  had  a  net  funded  debt  of  $308,775,343.55. 
In  1921  the  net  funded  debt  of  the  municipality  had  increased 
to  $1,034,544,694.07.  During  the  last  six  years  alone  the  amount 
included  in  the  annual  tax  levy  for  interest  and  other  items  of 
debt  service,  excluding  the  redemption  of  special  revenue  bonds 
has  increased  over  $23,000,000.  No  one  can  doubt  the  millions 
upon  millions  of  these  colossal  increases  in  the  city's  bonded 
debt  and  debt  service  charges  have  been  needlessly  expended. 
The  fact  remains  that  the  bonded  indebtedness  of  the  city  has 
increased  from  $88.20  to  $179.90  per  capita  since  the  borough 
heads  have  had  a  hand  in  the  authorization  of  bond  issues  for 
public  improvements  as  well  as  in  the  expenditure  of  the  pro- 
ceeds thereof. 

"It  is  true  that  during  this  period  the  city  has  issued  coi- 
porate  stock  for  over  $230,000,000  on  account  of  the  subways, 
but  it  is  also  a  fact  that  under  the  dual  subway  contract,  to 
which  the  Board  of  Estimate  and  Apportionment  of  the  Gaynor 
administration  was  a  party,  the  city  has  never  derived  a  penny 
of  revenue  from  the  stupendous  investment.  On  the  contrary, 
this  year's  tax  bill,  to  which  every  one  contributes,  includes 
over  $10,000,000  that  is  exacted  to  pay  the  interest  upon  the 
city's  bonded  indebtedness  on  the  subway  account.  If  charter 
revision  would  do  no  more  than  to  re-organize  the  chief  appro- 
priating body  of  the  city  upon  lines  that  would  insure  careful 
and  competent  consideration  of  all  propositions  involving  the 
cash  or  credit  of  the  municipality,  it  would  obviously  mean 
much  to  all  who  pay  taxes  directly  or  in  their  rent. 

"The  bulk  o(  local  taxation,"  the  speaker  said,  "falls  first  upon  the 
owners  of  real  estate,  by  whom  it  is  shifted,  in  a  large  measure,  to  their 
tenant.  This  leads  up  to  a  minor  subject  for  charter  revision,  but  one 
in  which  all  taxpayers,  immediate  or  ultimate,  are  directly  concerned, 
namely  :  the  over  assessment  of  real  estate  by  the  Tax  Department  for 
the  purposes  of  taxation.  Under  the  existing  charter,  it  is  very  properly 
prescribed  that  all  taxable  property  shall  he  assessed  at  its  true  value. 
The  charter  also  provides  that  any  property  owner  who  deems  himself 
aggrieved  by  the  assessed  valuation  placed  upon  his  property  may  make 
application  to  the  Tax  Board  for  a  review  of  the  assessment.  The  intent 
of  the  statute  is,  of  course,  that  such  applications  shall  be  fairly  con- 
sidered and  impartially  determined,  hut  this  rarely  happens.  Ordinarily, 
the  application  is  denied  and  the  applicant  is  relegated  to  his  remedy  by  a 
certiorari  proceeding  in  the  Supreme  Court,  for  a  review  of  the  determina- 


tion of  the  Tax  Board.  The  drawback  to  an  application  for  the  judicial 
review  of  a  tax  assessment  is  the  expense  or  "costs"  incidental  thereto, 
v/hich  usually  aggregate  a  considerable  sum  and  must  be  borne  by  the 
applicant  unless  the  court  reduces  the  assessment  by  at  least  i50  per  cent, 
of  the  amount  of  the  over-assessment  alleged.  Thus  penalized,  applica- 
tions for  the  judicial  review  of  assessments  are  kept  at  a  minimum  ;  a 
majority  of  property  owners  submitting  to  the  often  arbitrary  denials  by 
the  Tax  Board  of  their  applications  for  relief,  rather  than  taking  the 
chance  of  being  heavily  mulcted  for  costs  in  the  event  of  failure  in  a 
ctrtiorari   proceeding. 

"The  provisions  of  the  existing  charter,  therefore,  practically  leave  an 
aggrieved  taxpayer  at  the  mercy  of  the  Tax  Board,  the  members  of 
which  are  removable  at  will  by  the   M.  ■   case  they  do  not  carry  out 

his  polity  respecting  the  assessment  of  property  for  the  purposes  of 
taxation.  This  condition  not  only  leaves  the  door  wide  open  to  the 
general  inflation  of  assessed  values,  for  the  purpose,  for  instance,  of 
deieating  the  salutary  debt  limit  provision  of  the  State  Constitution,  but 
it  also  opens  the  way  to  favoritism  as  well  as  to  political  reprisals  and 
the  gratification  of  personal  grudges.  The  mere  statement  of  the  pos- 
sibilities of  the  tremendous  powers  that  may  be  exerted  by  an  un- 
scrupulous Mayor,  through  a  pliant  Tax  Board,  demonstrates  the  im- 
perative necessity  of  an  absolute  divorce  of  the  Tax  Department  from 
the  control  of  the  Mayor  or  any  other  local  officer  who  participates  in 
the   making   of   appropriations    chargeable   to   the  tax    levy. 

"Whether  or  not  the  Charter  Revision  Committee  will  see  its 
way  to  accomplish  this  much  needed  reformation  of  the  local 
system  for  the  assessment  of  taxables,  it  is  hoped  that  the 
Commission  may  be  able  to  devise  a  way  to  insure  either  a 
uniformly  fair  and  competent  assessment,  for  the  purposes  of 
taxation,  or  an  equitable  and  fearless  revision  of  such  valua- 
tions as  are  palpably  arbitrary  or  erroneous. 

"Bear  in  mind  that  an  incompetent  and  improvident  adminis- 
tration of  the  municipality  causes  high  taxes  which,  in  turn, 
contribute  to  raise  rents  and  increase  the  cost  of  every  other 
expense  of  living. 

"The  financial  turn-over  of  the  City  of  New  York,  coming  and 
going,  is  over  $1,000,000,000  a  year.  It  involves  transactions  too 
vast  and  too  complicated  to  be  entrusted  to  the  control  of  men 
who  have  never  had  financial  training  or  business  experience. 
But  when  have  men  so  qualified  controlled  the  Board  of  Esti- 
mate and  Apportionment? 

"The  high  cost  of  living  is  opening  our  eyes  to  one  of  its 
chief  contributing  factors,  the  high  cost  of  government.  This 
is  a  matter  for  your  thoughtful  consideration.  Think  it  over 
in  its  relation  to  the  rent  you  pay  for  business  space  and  for 
living  quarters,  and  to  the  rents  owners  clia,ge  and  obtain  as  a 
result."

Review  of  Real  Estate  Market  for  the   Current  Week 

Lease  of  a  Site  Over  Grand  Central  Tracks  Showed  the  High  Water  Mark  of 
Dealing,  While  Apartment  House  Sales  Abounded 


THIS  was  a  week  wherein  large  transactions  were  numer- 
ous and  others  were  well  diversified  in  character  and 
widely  distributed.  The  great  transaction  of  the  week 
was  the  leasing  of  land  equal  to  a  block  front,  by  the  New 
York  Central  &  Hudson  River  Railroad  Company,  over  its 
tracks  and  on  a  line  with  the  south  side  of  47th  street,  from 
Madison  avenue  to  a  point  on  a  line  with  Vanderbilt  avenue, 
for  63  years,  at  an  aggregate  rental  of  $10,000,000.  The  parcel 
will  be  used  as  the  site  for  a  12-story  office  building,  the  bulk 
of  which  has  already  been  leased  on  the  plans.  The  class  or 
tenants  shows  a  remarkable  movement  of  lines  allied  with  the 
wholesale  drygoods  trade.  As  large  as  this  lease  is,  it  does  not, 
proportionately,  match  one  made  recently  of  a  Madison  avenue 
corner  nearby,  nor  the  new  lease  of  the  Bristol  building  and 
allied  parcels,  at  the  northwest  corner  of  Fifth  avenue  and  42d 
street.  But  it  is  on  property  that  is  not  so  closely  identified 
with  the  uptown  strategic  center.  It  is,  however,  a  large 
marker  among  the  leases  made  this  year.  A  store  lease  that 
attracted  attention  was  that  of  a  store  on  the  south  side  of 
42d  street,  just  east  of  Madison  avenue. 


In  a  market  that  abounded  with  the  sales  of  apartment  houses 
the  largest  transactions  of  the  kind  was  that  of  160  East  79th 
street,  a  few  doors  from  the  southeast  corner  of  Lexington 
avenue,  while  a  Lexington  avenue  corner  involves  a  $1,000,000 
transaction.  It  is  a  14-story  and  basement  elevator  structure 
and  was  held  at  $850,000.  Numerous  elevator  apartment  houses 
in  Harlem  and  on  Washington  Heights  were  also  notable 
factors  in  the  dealing.  Walk-up  apartment  houses  throughout 
the  city,  generally  were  in  good  demand  as  well. 

A  vacant  square  block  in  East  Harlem  passed  into  the  hands 
of  the  Hearst  film  interests;  tenants  of  a  large  warehouse  on  a 
125th  street  corner  bought  the  property;  a  large  garage  in  Har- 
lem was  sold;  there  were  some  good  sales  south  of  S9th  street, 
and  good  dwellings  throughout  town  changed  hands^  many  of 
them  for  occupancy. 

The  Bronx  loomed  well  in  the  trading,  walk-up  apartment 
houses  of  all  kinds  and  one-  and  two-family  houses  all  selling 
well.  The  northern  reaches  of  this  borough  are  more  active 
than  usual.  Brooklyn  and  Queens  are  more  than  ordinarily 
active  just  now  and  the  dealing  is  well  distributed. 


PRIVATE  REALTY  SALES. 


THE  total  number  of  sales  reported  but  not 
recorded  in  Manhattan  this  week,  was  So

as  compared  with  37  last  week  and  69  a  year

Site  Sold  for  Co-operative  Apartments 

As  a  site  for  a  13-sty  cooperative  apartment 
house,  the  Joint-Ownership  Construction  Co., 
Inc.,  Frederick  Culver,  President,  has  entered 
into  a  contract  to  purchase  from  Andrew  Lazare 
the  northeast  corner  of  Lexington  av  and  72d  st, 
on  a  plot  4";xl(12.  The  total  cost  involved  is 
about  $1,000,(100.  About  half  of  the  suites  will 
consist  of  12  rooms — a  large  drawing  room,  20x3U, 
large  dining  rooms  and  baths,  servants'  dining 
and  sitting  room,  kitchen  and  pantry.  Other 
suites  will  contain  eight  rooms  and  three  baths. 
Plans  for  the  proposed  structure  are  being  com- 
pleted by  James  Gamble  Rogers,  consulting 
architect  to  Yale  University.  Among  those  who 
have  already  purchased  are  Cecil  Shallcross, 
President  of  the  North  British  and  Mercantile 
Insurance  Co.  ;  Miss  Elizabeth  M.  Lynch  of  the 
Colony  Club,  and  James  Gamble  Rogers.  The 
building,  136  East  67th  st,  erected  by  the  same 
company  from  plans  of  Walker  &  Gillette,  is  now 
nearing  completion,  all  but  two  of  the  37  apart-

Land  held  by  the  Astor  family  for  upwards 
of  300  years  ceased  on  Wednesday  as  a  fee  hold- 
ing hy  reason  nf  its  sale  tor  a  price  around 
.^SOO.niiO.  This  further  depletion  of  this  big  landed 
estate  involves  the  plot  105x100  with  four  a)iart- 
ment  and  store  buildings  at  the  southwest  corner 
of  Eighth  av  and  45th  st.  It  was  sold  by  the 
Farmers  Loan  &  Trust  Co.,  as  trustee  for  the 
estate  of  William  Waldorf  Astor,  to  the  Seott 
Investing  Co.  This  concern  is  composed  of  Leo 
Kamioner,  Max  Scott  and  Emanuel  van  Dernoot, 
who  under  different  corporate  title  have  recently 
purchased  other  Astor  properties  at  the  north- 
west corner  of  Eighth  av  and  46th  st,  opposite 
the  corner  just  acquired,  and  at  the  northwest 
corner  of  Eighth  av  and  39th  st.  These  holdings 
will  be  held  for  investment,  according  to  Mr. 
Van  Dernoot,  counsel  for  the  company.  The 
last  transfer  of  the  corner  just  sold  was  made 
in  October  31,  1S2S,  when  title  descended  to 
John  Jacob  Astor  from  his  father.  In  February 
last  the  estate  sold  the  Eighth  av  block  opposite 
to  Henry  Claman  for  a  price  around  JoStO.OOO, 
and  sales  by  the  Astor  estate  and  other  interests 
have  been  so  numerous  in  this  part  of  Eighth 
av  as  to  attract  the  interest  of  speculators,  who 
have  been  busy  in  their  endeavors  to  get  proper- 
ties before  prices  rise  under  the  influence  of 
the  increasing  demand.

RECENT  LEASES. 


Taking   Time  by  the  Forelock 

To  make  sure  of  possession  of  a  choice  business 
location,  Joseph  Hilton,  clothier,  has  leased, 
from  May  1,  192S.  the  6-sty  building  at  the 
southwest  corner  of  Broadway  and  3Tth  st,  for  a 
term  of  42  years. 

The  premises  are  now  under  lease  to  the 
Regal  Shoe  Co.  at  a  net  rental  of  $25,000  per 
year,  but  the  new  contract  calls  for  a  net  pay- 
ment of  $36,000  per  year,  or  an  aggregate  con- 
sideration of   about  $1,650,000.     In   addition   the 


new  lessee  binds  himself  to  spend  $50,000  during 
the  first  year  of  his  term,  in  modernizing  the 
,  structure. 

The  Regal  Shoe  Co.  lease  on  the  premises  has 
(;  yt'ars  to  run  from  May  1  and  under  ordinary 
conditions  this  would  have  discouraged  the 
making  of  a  new  contract  at  increased  rates, 
especially  at  a  time  when  rental  values  are 
uncertain.  The  pressure  of  the  demand  for  space 
in  the  viciniiy  is  reported  to  be  so  great,  how- 
ever, that  Mr.  Hilton  was  willing  not  only  to 
bet  against  the  rental  values  in  the  building  6 
years  hence,  but  also  to  pay  the  owner  ^7,200 
per  year  during  the  intervening  6  years.  These 
payments  will  be  checked  off  against  his  aggre- 
gate rental. 

The  new  lease  shows  an  advance  in  rental 
values  in  the  neighborhood  of  almost  50  per 
cent,  in  the  last  5  years.  Mrs.  Mary  B.  AveriU 
is  the  owner  of  the  property.  J.  B.  English  was 
the  broker. 


Notable  Terminal  Zone  Lease 

At  an  aggregate  rental  of  more  than  $10,- 
000,000.  including  taxes,  the  N.  Y.  Central  & 
Hudson  River  Railroad  Co.,  through  the  New 
York  State  Realty  &  Terminal  Co.,  leased, 
through  William  A.  White  &  Sons,  for  a  term 
of  21  years,  with  two  renewals,  to  a  new  cor- 
poration, known  as  385  Madison  Avenue,  Inc., 
the  southerly  frontage  of  the  block  in  East  47th 
st,  extending  from  Madison  av  to  a  point  on  a 
line  with  Vanderbilt  av.  The  lessees  will  erect 
on  the  site  a  1214-sty  building,  the  estimated 
cost  of  which  according  to  Cross  &  Cross,  archi- 
tects, will  be  $l,SOO,OU0.  It  will  be  over  the 
New  York  Central  tracks. 

The  site  on  which  the  new  building  is  to  be 
erected  has  a  frontage  of  100.5  ft.  on  Madison 
av  at  the  southeast  corner  of  47th  st,  of  215. S 
feet  on  the  south  side  of  47th  st,  and  100.5 
feet  on  Vanderbilt  av,  at  the  southwest  corner 
of  47th  St.  The  total  ground  area  is  21,656 
square  feet,  all  of  which  will  be  occupied  by  the 
new    building. 

The  385  Madison  Avenue.  Inc.,  is  owned  by 
Webb  &  Knapp,  which  firm  is  composed  of 
Eliot  Cross,  Robert  C.  Knapp  and  W.  Seward 
Webb,  Jr. 

The  building  contract  has  been  awarded  to 
the    Todd.    Robertson,    Todd    Engineering    Cor- 


poration, which  erected  the  Canard  building, 
on  lower  Broadway.  The  new  building  will  be 
ready  for  occupancy  February  1,  1023,  and  an 
interesting  construction  detail  is  the  fact  that 
more  than  5,U00  tons  of  steel  are  to  be  used. 
The  building  will  be  restricted  against  all  forms 
of  manuiacturing.  Its  use  and  occupation  will 
be  limited  to  wholesale  showrooms  and  execu- 
tive ollces  exclusively. 

The  building,  which  will  contain  approximate- 
ly 4.0U0.U00  cubic  feet  o£  space,  will  be  about 
175  feet  in  height.  The  entire  Madison  av 
uont  will  be  in  limestone,  while  the  facade  on, 
all  sides  will  harmonize  with  the  surrounding 
buildings. 

Much  of  the  building  has  already  been  leased, 
on  the  plans,  through  William  A.  White  &  Sons. 
More  than  150,000  square  feet  embracing  the 
2d  to  Sth  floors  inclusive  have  been  leased  to 
Aitken,  Son  &  Co.,  now  at  417  Fifth  av  ;  to 
Gage  Bros.  &  Co..  of  Fifth  av  and  37th  st,  and 
to  the  Judkins  &  McCormack  Co.  of  11  West 
I'.ith  St.  These  three  firms  are  among  the  most 
prominent  wholesale  dress  goods  and  millinery 
conLorns   in  America. 

The  Bigelow-Hartford  Carpet  Co.,  whose 
main  factories  are  at  Thompsonville,  Conn.,  hae 
leased  the  9th  and  10th  floors,  for  a  term  of  10 
years,  through  Harris,  Vought  &  Co.,  and  Her- 
bert McLean  Purdy. 

These  four  leases,  which  dispose  of  0  floors 
of  the  building,  have  been  made  to  highly  rep- 
resentative concerns  that  will  utilize  the  prem- 
ises as  showrooms  and  executive  offices  only, 
their   factories   being   located  elsewhere. 

The  determining  factor  in  the  consummation 
of  each  of  these  leases  was  the  proximity  of 
the  building  to  all  the  principal  hotels,  the 
Fifth  av  department  store  district,  and  the  new 
uptown  business  center.  The  new  building  will 
contain  open  floors  only,  each  of  which  will 
have  an  unusually  large  amount  of  useable  area 
owing  to  the  arrangement  of  the  elevators,  cor- 
ridors, etc.,  and  the  presence  of  only  27  col- 
umns on  each  floor,  set  20  to  24  feet  apart. 
Each  typical  floor  has  36  windows.  The  ground 
floor  has  a  ceiling  height  of  more  than  20  feet, 
the  2d  floor  of  about  14  feet,  and  all  floors 
above  about  12i/4  feet  each.  The  uppermost 
half  story  will  contain  10,600  feet  net  of  rent- 
able area  and  will  occupy  a  portion  of  the  roof. 

There  will  be  4   freight  elevators   and  6  pas-

BUILDING     SECTION 


Employers  and   Unions   Act   to   Avert   Building   Strike 

Both  Factions  Agree  to  Admit  Representatives  of  Public  Group  to  Conferences  on 
Wage  Scale  Revisions,  With  Voice  But  No  Vote 


SEVERAL  developments  in  the  building  labor  situation 
have  occurred  during  the  past  week  which  have  materi- 
ally brightened  the  local  construction  outlook  for  the 
forthcoming  spring  and  summer  season.  These  developments 
have  to  a  considerable  degree  cleared  up  the  atmosphere  of 
doubt  which  for  several  months  past  has  curtailed  production 
and  been  responsible  for  an  apathetic  attitude  on  the  part  of 
both  employers  and  workmen.  Because  of  the  events  of  the 
past  week  the  way  seemingly  is  now  open  to  a  speedy  settle- 
ment of  these  differences  between  employers  and  workmen  in 
the  building  industry,  and  with  future  harmony  assured  nothing 
can  impede  the  long-predicted  building  boom  that  is  now  al- 
most a  fact. 

Wednesday  afternoon,  after  a  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Gov- 
ernors of  the  Building  Trades  Employers'  Association,  it  was 
announced  that  the  employers  had  withdrawn  their  ultimatum 
to  put  certain  wage  reductions  into  effect  on  March  17,  because 
of  the  attitude  of  the  Building  Trades  Council,  in  agreeing  to 
accept  the  proposal  of  open  conferences  on  the  matter  of  wage 
scale  revisions.  Undoubtedly  the  action  of  these  organizations 
has  averted  a  serious  strike,  which  would  have  thrown  thou- 
sands of  men  out  of  employment  and  crippled  the  building 
industry. 

In  acepting  the  plans  for  open  meetings  to  discuss  a  revision 
of  the  wage  schedules  the  council  stipulated  that  in  addition 
to  the  Public  Group  Committee  of  which  Walter  Stabler  is 
chairman,  a  sub-committee  of  the  Lockwood  housing  investi- 
gating committee  be  included.  This  will  permit  the  ideas  of 
both  sides  for  open  meetings  to  be  expressed.  The  employers, 
last  December,  rejected  the  plan  of  Samuel  Untermyer  for 
arbitration,  proposing  instead  the  calling  in  as  interested  ob- 
servers of  representatives  of  twenty  civic  associations. 

In  announcing  the  extension  yesterday,  C.  G.  Norman,  chair- 
man of  the  Board  of  Governors  of  the  employers'  association, 
said : 

"At  our  meeting  to-day,  we  voted  to  extend  the  wage  scale 
until  the  next  meeting  of  the  board,  subject  to  the  call  of  the, 
chair.  As  the  next  meeting  will  be  on  the  third  Wednesday  in 
April,  the  present  scale  will  continue  until  then,  unless  a 
special  meeting  is  called  in  the  meantime. 

Mr.  Stabler,  as  chairman  of  the  Public  Group  Committee, 
representing  architects,  financiers,  merchants  and  manufac- 
turers, all  of  whom  have  a  lively  interest  in  fostering  harmony 
in  the  building  industry  because  of  their  direct  and  indirect 
connection  with  it,  some  time  ago  expressed  the  desire  of  his 
committee  to  attend  the  joint  conferences  of  the  employers 
and  the  workmen  at  which  the  matter  of  wage  scale  adjust- 
ments was  to  be  considered.  The  employers  immediately  signi- 
fied their  intention  of  permitting  the  representatives  of  the 
public  to  be  present  at  these  conferences,  but  at  first  the  repre- 
sentatives of  the  unions  refused  to  hear  of  any  such  thing. 

The  situation  practically  was  deadlocked  for  several  weeks, 
during  which  the  members  of  the  Public  Group  Committee 
were  active  in  an  attempt  to  have  the  labor  leaders  reconsider 
their  decision  regarding  the  policy  of  admitting  representatives 
of  the  building  public  to  the  proposed  joint  conferences.  On 
Tuesday  the  Building  Trades'  Council  held  a  five-hour  meet- 
ing, at  which  this  matter  was  again  brought  up,  and  at  which 
the  labor  organizations  receded  from  their  position  as  to  the 
admission  of  the  public  group  representatives.     Within,  a  few 


days  the  dates  for  these  conferences  will  probably  be  announced 
and  the  building  public  invited  to  participate,  at  least  in  an 
advisory  capacity,  in  closing  the  rupture  over  wage  scale  re- 
visions. 

Last  week  the  Building  Trade  Employers'  Association  served 
notice  upon  the  Building  Trades'  Council  that  a  new  scale  was 
to  be  made,  effective  March  17,  under  which  the  wages  of  un- 
skilled and  semi-skilled  workmen  will  be  reduced.  The  wages 
of  the  skilled  workers  are  to  remain  at  their  prevailing  levels 
for  the  present,  or  at  least  until  a  readjustment  can  be  affected 
by  arbitration. 

This  notice  of  tlie  intention  of  the  employers  to  put  into  ef- 
fect a  new  scale  of  wages  came  after  a  long  period  of  negoti- 
ations to  obtain  a  new  agreement  to  replace  that  which  expired 
by  limitation  on  December  31,  1921.  In  order  to  prevent  any 
trouble  pending  the  fixing  of  the  new  scale,  the  old  scale  was 
first  extended  until  February  1  and  then  to  March  1,  and 
more  recently  to  March  16. 

C.  G.  Norman,  speaking  for  the  employers,  declared  tliat  the 
extension  to  March  16  was  positively  the  last  to  be  made  unless 
the  committee  representing  the  general  building  public,  which 
they  had  asked  to  sit  in  at  the  conferences,  with  a  voice  but  no 
votes  in  the  making  of  a  new  scale,  requests  a  further  delay. 

The  recent  action  of  John  Donlin,  president  of  the  Building 
Trades  Department  of  the  American  Federation  of  Labor,  in 
revoking  the  charter  of  the  New  York  Building  Trades'  Coun- 
cil, is  thought  by  many  local  employers  to  have  exerted  con- 
siderable influence  upon  the  representatives  of  the  unions  in 
changing  their  attitude  in  regard  to  admitting  the  Public 
Group  Committee  to  attend  the  forthcoming  conferences  on 
wage  scale  revisions.  Although  the  effect  is  purely  psycho- 
logical, as  the  employers  are  bound  to  deal  with  the  local  union 
without  respect  to  their  standing  with  the  Federation,  the  fact 
that  the  Council  will  not  be  further  supported  by  its  parent 
body  undoubtedly  has  had  quite  some  weight  in  shaping  up  its 
decision  as   to   future   policies. 

On  the  other  hand,  the  revocation  of  the  Council's  charter 
and  the  proposal  of  the  Federation  to  set  up  a  new  body  will 
not  make  any  material  difference  in  the  program  on  wage  scale 
revision  because  the  employers'  organization  intends  to  deal 
with  the  various  unions  and  make  them  see  that  a  drop  in 
wage  rates  will  greatly  stimulate  construction  and  that  until 
they  are  lowered  it  is  idle  to  anticipate  any  great  volume  of 
new  building  in  this  city. 

The  exhaustive  survey  of  the  local  building  situation  recently 
made  by  the  Building  Trades  Employers'  Association  is  ex- 
pected to  figure  largely  in  the  conferences  pending  between 
the  employers  and  the  union  representatives.  The  results  of 
this  survey,  as  tabulated  by  Samuel  Donnelly,  executive  secre- 
tary of  the  Employers'  Association,  show  the  relation  of  pres- 
ent building  wage  scales  to  living  costs  and  prove  that  the 
present  levels  are  entirely  out  of  the  general  economic  scale. 

Another  phase  of  this  survey  shows  that  the  new  residential 
construction  completed  since  the  enactment  of  the  Tax  Exemp- 
tion Ordinance,  and  the  work  under  way  on  December  31,  1921, 
provided  living  accommodations  for  a  total  of  36,649  families, 
thus  materially  easing  the  local  housing  shortage  and  causing 
rentals,  which  are  claimed  as  one  of  the  prime  reasons  for  the 
necessity  of  extortionate  wages  to  building  mechanics,  to  re- 
cede considerably.

RECORD    AND     GUIDE 


March  18,  1922 


The  value  of  the  plans  filed  in  New  York  City  during  the 
months  of  January  and  February  of  this  year  amounted  to 
slightly  more  than  $94,000,000.  Of  this  amount  approximatelji 
$80,000,000  was  devoted  to  residential  building  of  one  type  or 
another.  Taking  the  average  value  per  family,  as  shown  by 
this  survey,  to  be  $4,000,  the  plans  filed  during  the  first  two 
months  of  this  year  will  provide  additional  living  accommoda- 
tions for  about  20,000  famihes.  This  will  bring  the  gross  total 
of  new  housing  units,  completed  since  the  passage  of  the  Tax 
Exemption  measure,  or  now  under  way,  up  to  58,849.  The  sur- 
vey shows  that  the  housing  construction  completed  or  at  pres- 
ent being  erected  will  proved  for  a  population  equal  to  the 
combined  population  of  the  cities  of  Albany,  Newburgh,  Pough- 
keepsie  and  Peekskill. 

The  causes  for  the  sudden  advances  in  the  value  of  plan:', 
filed,  as  shown  in  the  accompanying  chart,  are  explained  in  the 
vertical   notes,   which   list   the    large   operations   undertaken   at 


The  drop  in  plans  filed  totals  reached  in  November,  1918,  was 
almost  entirely  due  to  the  effect  of  the  war  embargo,  which 
abruptly  stopped  all  but  the  most  essential  construction  in 
order  to  conserve  both  men  and  materials  to  Government  uses. 
This  embargo  commenced  in  mid-summer  of  1917. 

A  study  of  the  chart  shows  that  of  the  plans  filed  from  Janu- 
ary 1  to  December  31,  1920,  less  than  forty  per  cent,  of  the 
total  was  scheduled  for  housing  construction.  The  volume  of 
commercial  work  also  fell  ofi  toward  the  close  of  that  year, 
but  during  the  early  months,  particularly  the  spring,  several 
large  commercial  operations  were  started  that  created  a  fairly 
high  average  for  the  year. 

The  real  business  of  meeting  the  housing  shortage  did  not 
start  in  earnest  until  early  in  1921,  but  from  then  on  the  value 
of  plans  filed  for  new  residential  construction  steadily  increased 
until  the  peak  was  reached  in  October  of  last  year.  The 
record  sof  the  Building  Department  show  that  during  the  en- 


-VALUATIONofDUILDINCPCRMIT5I65UEDin.C_REATER- NEW: YORK-  \^\dio\°iU: 


various  periods  covered  by  the  survey.  In  a  number  of  in- 
stances these  phenomenal  advances  in  cost  of  plans  filed  were 
created  by  projects  that  never  went  ahead  and  which  in  all 
probability  have  been  abandoned.  Nevertheless,  plans  were 
filed  and  their  records  are  responsible  for  several  of  the  high 
spots  on  the  chart.  The  peak  of  construction,  which  appears 
on  the  chart  in  1916,  was  the  result  of  a  large  number  of  plans 
filed  during  July  of  that  year  in  anticipation  of  the  enactment 
of  the  Zoning  Laws. 

During  1913,  1914  and  1915  the  major  portion  of  the  money 
appropriated  for  new  construction  was  devoted  to  residential 
building  and  the  value  of  the  large  commercial  and  industrial 
projects  filed  during  those  years  was  comparatively  small.  In 
fact,  an  amount  of  $12,500,000  can  be  deducted  from  the  total 
for  1913,  because  the  Pan  American  States  Building,  the  cost 
of  which  was  estimated  at  that  figure,  never  went  ahead,  al- 
though the  wc*king  plans  were  completed  and  filed  in  the 
Bureau  of  Buildings. 


tire  year  of  1921,  and  for  the  first  two  months  of  the  current 
year,  approximately  eighty  per  cent,  of  the  total  value  of  new 
buildings  as  represented  by  plan  filing  costs  was  for  residential 
building,  including  multi-family  dwellings  and  one-  and  two- 
family   houses. 

Summarizing  the  record  of  the  building  industry  as  shown 
by  the  chart  it  will  be  seen  that  1913  to  1915,  inclusive,  were 
j'ears  of  housing  production  in  a  ratio  considerably  above  nor- 
mal. The  average  monthly  filings  in  the  bureaus  totaled  $12,- 
913,696.  Compare  this  average  total  with  the  average  monthly 
totals  for  1921,  which  were  $35,296,210,  and  it  can  be  easily  seen 
that  despite  the  prevailing  inflated  construction  costs  the  vol- 
ume of  construction  last  year  was  far  in  excess  of  any  previous 
period  covered  by  the  survey.  Allowing  for  the  increased  cost 
of  construction,  these  figures  demonstrate  that  the  amount  of 
housing  for  which  plans  were  filed  during  1921  was  approxi- 
mately one  and  one-half  times  that  of  the  average  for  the  years 
1913  to  191S. 


Building  Trades  Employers'  Association  Inaugurates  Luncheon  Meetings 


MORE  than  one  hundred  and  fifty  members  of  the  Build- 
ing Trades  Employers'  Association  attended  the  in- 
formal luncheon  in  the  main  dining-room  of  the 
organization's  headquarters  at  30  West  Thirty-third  Street,  on 
Wednesday  noon,  at  which  Burt  B.  Farnsworth,  Executive 
Secretary  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  and  the  director  of  the  courses 
given  by  the  Business  Men's  Applied  Psychology  Club,  deliv- 
ered  an   interesting   address. 

This  meeting  was  something  in  the  nature  of  an  experiment 
on  the  part  of  the  House  Committee  but  the  success  of  the 
initial  gathering  was  such  that  in  all  probability  a  program  of 
similar  monthly  luncheon  meetings,  at  which  men  of  national 
prominence  in  their  respective  professions  and  trades  will  be 
secured  to  deliver  addresses  on  subjects  germain  to  construc- 
tion and  its  affiliated  interests. 

A.  J.  Rosenthal,  vice-president  of  the  association  and  chair- 
man of  the  House  Committee,  acted  as  toastmaster  and  in   a 


brief  address  outlined  the  new  policy  of  securing  well-known 
men  to  address  the  association  at  the  projected  informal 
luncheon  .meetings  and  then  introduced  as  speaker  for  the  day, 
Mr.  Farnsworth,  who  had  as  his  subject,  "The  New  Industrial 
Democracy." 

Mr.  Farnsworth  reviewed  the  effect  of  applied  psychology

"Man  has  made  himself  over,"  said  Mr.  Farnsworth,  "as  he 
has  made  over  the  world.  Today  every  man  counts  one  in  the 
great  scheme  of  human  endeavor  and  it  is  the  duty  of  all  who 
are  better  equipped,  mentally  and  otherwise,  to  share  their 
part  of  the  burden  of  strengthening  the  social  and  economic 
fabric  by  rendering  every  possible  assistance  to  those  in  the 
mental,  social  and  financial  strata  below  them.

Increased  Building  Awards  Herald  Spring's  Approach 

General  Improvement  in  Construction  Outlook  Shown  by  Weekly  Totals  Tabu- 
lated from  F.  \V.  Dodge  Company's  Statistics 


THE  rapidly  approaching  Spring  has  brought  about  a  very 
decided  change  in  the  local  building  situation.  During 
the  past  week  or  ten  days  there  has  been  a  most  signi- 
ficant increase  in  the  amount  of  new  construction  placed  under 
contract  and  the  volume  of  newly  reported  building  in  prospect 
is  far  in  excess  of  the  most  optimistic  predictions  of  only  a 
short  time  ago. 

Residential  building,  both  prospective  and  actually  under 
contract,  is  by  far  the  most  important  in  volume  and  cost  and 
there  is  every  reason  to  anticipate  that  this  character  of  con- 
struction will  dominate  the  building  situation  throughout  the 
coming  season.  The  architects  who  specialize  in  planning 
speculative  building  operations  are  being  rushed  to  by  owners 
who  desire  to  get  their  operations  underway  at  the  earliest 
possible  moment. 

Figures  tabulated  by  the  F.  W.  Dodge  Company,  for  the 
territory  including  all  of  New  York  State  and  New  Jersey, 
north  of  Trenton,  show  that  during  the  tenth  week  of  this 
year  there  were  first  reports  on  111  new  building  and  engineer- 
ing projects  in  this  district  that  will  involve  a  total  outlay  of 
approximately  $37,158,900.  During  the  same  period  there  were 
342  contract  awards  announced  that  will  require  a  total  ex- 
penditure of  $20,397,600. 

Although  the  weekly  totals  show  a  consistent  gain  in  prac- 
tically   all    branches    of     construction,     residential     building     con- 


tinues to  prevail  as  the  really  important  factor  and  while  the 
ratio  of  residential  building  to  the  total  of  all  other  types  will 
undoubtedly  be  lower  than  it  was  last  season,  the  volume  of 
this  kind  of  construction  will  in  all  likelihood  be  greater  than 
it  was  one  year  ago. 

The  list  of  11  building  and  engineering  operations  reported 
during  the  week  of  March  4  to  10  inclusive  was  made  up  of  the 
following  groups  :  Seventy-seven  business  structures,  such  as 
stores,  offices,  lofts,  commercial  garages,  etc.,  $4,583,400;  12 
educational  projects,  $2,106,300;  3  hospitals  and  institutions, 
$6'S,000;  30  industrial  structures,  $1,755,500;  2  military  and  naval 
operations,  $40,000;  3  public  buildings,  $113,000;  37  public  works 
and  public  utilities,  $6,431,000;  8  religious  and  memorial  struc- 
tures, $415,000;  586  residential  operations,  including  apartments, 
flats  and  tenements  and  one  and  two-family  dwellings,  $20,797,- 
700  and  19  social  and  recreational  projects,  $852,000. 

Among  the  342  operations  for  which  contracts  were  awarded 
during  the  tenth  week  of  this  year  were  46  business  buildings 
of  various  types,  $7,524,400;  5  educational  projects,  $322,000;  5 
liospitals  and  institutions,  $210,000;  10  factory  and  industrial 
buildings,  $632,000;  2  public  buildings,  $55,000;  9  public  works 
and  public  utilities,  $570,700;  1  religious  edifice,  $10,000;  258 
residential  structures,  including  multi-family  dwellings  and  one 
and  two-family  houses,  $10,899,500  and  6  social  and  recreational 
projects,  $174,000,

Seventy-first  Regiment  Armory,  but  owing 
to  the  limited  space  the  number  of  ex- 
hibits had  to  be  greatly  curtailed.  This 
year,  with  three  floors  available  at  the 
Grand  Central  Palace,  there  will  be  ample 
opportunity  to  present  one  of  the  most 
comprehensive  expositions  in  the  history

exhibits  will  include  every  phase  of  elec- 
trical application  for  the  home  and  in- 
dustry.

March  18,  1922 


CURRENT    BUILDING    OPERATIONS 


LOCAL,  building  interests  are  fairly  opti- 
mistic over  the  possibility  of  an  early 
settlement  of  the  differences  between  em- 
ployers and  building  trade  workmen  and 
are  of  the  opinion  that  just  as  soon  as 
some  definite  announcement  is  made  of  a 
new  "wage  scale  agreement  there  will  be 
a  tremendous  increase  in  active  construc- 
tion  in  this  city  and  vicinity. 

There  is  a  vast  amount  of  proposed 
work  that  is  being  held  in  abeyance  pend- 
ing a  settlement  of  the  matter  of  wage 
scales  for  the  balance  of  the  year.  Plans 
for  the  major  portion  of  this  work  are 
completed  and  in  many  instances  the 
operations  ^have  been  submitted  to  con- 
tractors for  estimates,  but  in  numerous 
cases  owners  are  holding  off  in  making 
actual  commitments  until  wage  rates  are 
finally  determined  for  the  remainder  of 
the  current  year. 

The  fair  and  warmer  weather  of  the 
past  week  has  considerably  increased 
activity  in  the  local  markets  for  building 
materials.  Brick  is  in  excellent  demand 
and  there  is  now  an  ample  supply  for  all 
active  jobs.  Prices  are  easier  than  they 
have  been,  but  manufacturers  feel  that 
they  will  strengthen  as  the  demand  grows 
more  urgent.  Movement  of  cement  and 
lime  is  fair  and  prospects  are  generally 
considered  better  than  they  were  a  few 
weeks  ago.  Lime  manufacturers  have  an- 
nounced a  reduction  of  20c  per  barrel  on 
standard  300  lb.   barrels. 

Common  Brick — The  New  York  whole- 
sale market  for  Hudson  River  common 
brick  has  had  a  relatively  active  week 
when  the  business  of  the  past  few  days 
is  compared  with  that  of  the  past  month 
or  six  weeks.  Arrivals  from  up-river 
plants  have  been  adequate  to  relieve  the 
stringency  and  as  the  river  is  now  prac- 
tically free  of  ice  as  far  north  as  Kings- 
ton, no  further  anxiety  is  felt  as  to  the 
supply  of  this  important  commodity. 
Prices  have  eased  off  to  some  extent  dur- 
ing the  week  and  current  quotations  for 
Hudson  River  commons  range  from  .$16  to 
$16.50   a   thousand. 

Summary — Transactions  in  the  North 
River  common  brick  market  for  the  week 
ending-  Thursday,  March  16,  1922.  Condi- 
tion of  market:  Demand  improved;  prices, 
slightly  lower.  Quotations:  Hudson 
Rivers,  $16  to  $16.50  a  thousand  to  dealers 
in  cargo  lots  alongside  dock.  Number  of 
cargoes  arrived,  24;  sales,  24.  Distribu- 
tion: Manhattan,  6;  Brooklyn,  17;  New 
Jersey,    1. 

Itiiiltlor.w'  Hardware — The  demand  for 
builders'  hai'dware  is  exceptionally  good 
and  both  manufacturers  and  dealers  are 
anticipating  a  season  of  unusual  business 


in  this  line.  There  are  strong  prospects 
of  a  steady  increase  in  the  demand  as  the 
construction  program  matures  and  in 
view  of  the  outlook  manufacturers  are 
operating  their  plants  practically  on  full 
time.  Dealers  are  placing  larger  orders 
than  they  have  been  so  as  to  have  their 
stocks  in  shape  when  the  peak  of  the  de- 
mand occur.  Prices  are  steady  and  no 
important  changes  are  expected  for  the 
time    being. 

Structural  Steel — AlthougJi  there  is 
considerable  new  business  pending  the 
commitments     of     the     past     week      were 


lighter  than  usual  but  contractors  are  of 
the  opinion  that  within  the  next  week  or 
so  a  decided  change  for  the  better  is 
bound  to  occur.  Several  important  jobs 
are  now  in  the  hands  of  contractors  for 
estimates  and  the  announcement  of 
awards  for  this  work  will  materially 
brighten  the  outlook.  Prices  for  fabricat- 
ed material  erected  in  commercial  struc- 
tures still  range  between  $60  and  $65  per 
ton  despite  tiie  advance  on  shapes  re- 
ported by  one  of  the  most  prominent 
mills.

MATERIALS    AND    SUPPLIES 


retailers  in  electrical  goods  are  fairly 
satisfied  with  trade  conditions  as  they 
exist  at  present  but  they  are  looking-  for- 
ward to  a  decided  increase  in  business 
during-  the  next  two  or  three  months. 
Manufacturers  are  preparing  for  a  spe- 
cially busy  summer  building  season  with 
a  consequent  improvement  in  the  demand 
for  wiring  materials  and  specialties.  At 
the  present  time  neither  dealers  nor  con- 
tractors are  buying  except  for  immediate 
requirements  but  there  is  every  indica- 
tion that  the  growing  amount  of  active 
construction    will    shortly    necessitate    the 


purchase  of  supplies  in  much  larger  or- 
ders. Prices  are  easy  and  in  several  in- 
stances   discounts    have     been    increaed. 

Window  Glass — Business  has  fallen  off 
to  a  considerable  extent  during  the  past 
week  or  ten  days  and  jobbers  look  for  a 
lull  for  several  weeks  or  until  the  apart- 
ment house  projects  that  were  started 
late  last  autumn  reach  the  final  stages 
of  completion.  There  is  no  doubt  that  the 
demand  for  window  glass  during  the  com- 
ing summer  and  autumn  months  will  tax 
the  facilities  of  local  dealers.  There  is 
a      tremendous      amount      of      speculative

building  now  ready  for  a  start  and  prac- 
tically all  of  this  work  is  scheduled  for 
comiiletion  before  October  1,  1922.  Sev- 
eral of  the  prominent  jobbers  in  plate  and 
window  glass  are  exhibiting  some  un- 
certainty as  to  price  tendencies.  The  out- 
looli.  however,  is  that  the  price  situation 
will  remain  practically  unchanged  for 
the  next  month  or  two  at  least.  After 
that  prices  are  likely  to  be  largely  domin- 
ated by  the  ratio  ot  the  supply  to  the 
demand. 

Ca.st  Iron  Pipe — The  market  for  this 
commodity  is  exceptionally  strong-  and 
the  majority  of  manufacturers  are  mate- 
rially increasing  their  output.  Many 
plants  are  working  at  nearly  full  capacity 
and  there  is  a  marked  likelihood  that  in- 
creasing business  will  shortly  necessi- 
tate all  operating  on  full  time.  Recently 
there  has  been  considerable  improvement 
in  the  volume  of  municipal  business 
placed  before  this  industry  and  private 
buyins"  continues  fairly  active.  There  is 
quite  some  new  business  in  sight  that 
should  be  released  within  the  next  few 
weeks.  Prices  are  strong  and  unchanged. 
New  York  quotations  are  as  follows:  6 
in.  and  larger.  $47.30  per  net  ton,  f.  o.  b. 
New  York;  5  in.  and  4  in..  $52.30  and  3  in., 
$62.30;  with  $4  extra  per  ton  for  Class  A 
and    J.  is    pipe. 

Nails — No  change  worth  speaking  of 
has  occurred  in  the  local  nail  market 
during  the  past  week.  Buying  is  light 
and  practically  only  for  current  needs. 
Although  prospects  are  good  dealers  are 
not  certain  that  any  real  improvement 
will  come  until  the  1922  building  program 
gets  started  and  suburban  construction 
gets  under  way.  Prices  are  as  follows: 
$3.25  base  per  keg,  for  wire  nails  and 
$4  to   $4,25  base  per  keg  for  cut  nails. 

I.in.seed  Oil — The  market  for  this  mate- 
rial is  quite  dull  and  no  improvement  is 
anticipated  for  at  least  a  month  to  six 
weeks.  Buying  is  in  relatively  small 
lots  and  only  for  immediate  requirements. 
No  one  in  the  industry  feels  that  prevail- 
ing conditions  are  to  last  for  any  time, 
however,  as  there  are  strong  signs  of  an 
awakening  that  will  materially  change 
the  market  situation.  Prices  are  steady 
and    practically    unclianged. 

Lime — Manufacturers  of  lime  have  re- 
cently announced  a  reduction  on  finishing 
lime  in  the  standard  300-lb.  barrels.  The 
price  has  been  $4.70  per  barrel,  but  is  now 
reduced  to  $4.50.  Dealers  announce  they 
will  immediately  revise  their  quotations. 
There  has  been  a  good  demand  for  this 
commodity  and  all  signs  point  to  a  steady 
increase  as  the  outlook  for  building  is 
excellent.

People  may  ask  how  we  dare  to 
guarantee  that  a  trust  fund  placed 
in  our  hands  will  be  worth  par  at 
the  expiration  of  the  trust  and  that 
there  will  be  no  shrinkage. 

We  do  this  because  we  have  had 
thirty  years'  experience  with  the 
mortgages  guaranteed  by  the  Bond 
&  Mortgage  Guarantee  Company 
and  we  are  satisfied  that  we  risk 
little  or  nothing  in  adding  our  guar- 
antee to  theirs. 

We  have  $18,000,000  and  they  have  $12,- 
000,000  in  capital  and  surplus  so  that  there 
is  $30,000,000  pledged  to  make  the  promise 
good.

RECORD    AND     GUIDE 


357 


Entering  Its  Fifty-fifth  Year 

The  Record  and  Guide  completed  with  its  last  issue 
fifty-four  years  of  continuous  publication,  and  now  enters 
upon  its  fifty-fifth  year,  still  reflecting,  it  is  hoped,  the  de- 
sire of  its  management  that  it  improve  in  quality  and  use- 
fulness with  the  passing  of  the  years. 

A  great  many  publications  established  since  1868  have 
fallen  by  the  wayside  and  have  been  forgotten,  but  The 
Record  and  Guide  has  survived  and  grown  strong  be- 
cause it  always  has  been,  and  still  is,  one  of  those  publica- 
tions for  which  a  definite  need  exists.  Then,  too,  The 
Record  and  Guide  has  pursued  the  only  policy  which 
makes  for  longevity,  namely,  sincere  devotion  to  the  par- 
ticular clientele  in  whose  interests  it  is  published.  Always 
striving  in  both  editorial  and  news  features  to  give  the 
fullest  news  value,  it  yet  presents  this  information  in  a 
conservative  manner,  without  distortion,  thus  making  its 
columns  a  trustworthy  guide  to  its  readers. 

As  a  result  of  this  policy,  The  Record  and  Guide  starts 
its  fifty-fifth  year  with  a  larger  and  more  representative 
circle  of  readers  than  ever,  and  with  an  advertising  patron- 
age which  includes  a  great  majority  of  the  recognized 
leaders  in  its  field.  Its  steady  increase  in  circulation  un- 
doubtedly is  due  largely  to  the  constant  efifort  which  is  being 
made  to  improve  the  publication,  in  appearance,  in  quahty, 
in  timeliness  of  contents  and  in  every  direction  which  gives 
to  a  publication  character  and  stability. 


Employers  Conciliatory;  Labor  Arbitrary 

If  New  York  City's  ambitious  program  of  construction 
for  1922  is  halted  or  even  hindered  because  of  labor  trou- 
bles, the  resultant  damage  and  loss  to  the  industry  must 
be  directly  charged  to  the  arbitrary  and  unreasonable  atti- 
tude of  building  labor.  Employers  in  the  building  trades, 
with  the  co-operation  of  the  public  group  representing  in- 
terests closely  affiliated  with  construction,  have  done  every- 
thing within  their  power  to  focus  the  labor  affairs  of  the 
industry  to  a  point  where  all  will  be  in  a  position  to  meet 
on  neutral  ground  for  discussion  of  disputed  points. 

Certainly  the  organized  employers  have  not  lagged  in 
their  efforts  to  readjust  these  differences  upon  a  basis  satis- 
factory to  all  involved.  The  Association  officials  have  been 
untiring  in  their  attempts  to  have  the  workmen  realize 
that  an  active  and  prosperous  building  season  can  only 
be  had  by  a  revision  of  scales  that  will  bring  wages  into 
closer  relation  with  all  other  construction  costs. 

During  all  of  the  negotiations  which  have  taken  place 
since  last  autumn,  when  the  subject  of  a  new  wage  scale 
agreement  for  1922  was  first  brought  up  for  consideration, 
the  employers  have  sought  the  co-operation  of  labor, 
realizing  that  unless  this  was  obtained  nothing  definite 
could  be  accomplished.  Labor  interests,  however,  have 
been  arbitrary  and  unreasonable  in  their  attitude  toward 
the  overtures  of  the  employers.  Every  plan  submitted 
which  would  lead  up  to  the  discussion  and  formulation  of  a 
new  agreement  was  rejected,  or  at  least  subjected  to  such 


radical  revisions  as  as  to  make  it  entirely  a  one-sided 
proposition  in  favor  of  labor  interests.  The  employers, 
during  the  past  six  months,  have  made  every  possible  con- 
cession to  the  labor  group  consistent  with  good  business 
judgment.  They  have  presented  plan  after  plan  for  a 
speedy  ending  of  the  impasse,  only  to  see  them  either  totally 
rejected  or  so  changed  as  to  make  them  unavailing. 

Building  employers  have  gone  far  more  than  half  way 
to  meet  the  labor  interests  in  order  to  obtain  an  early  solu- 
tion of  the  wage  scale  problems  which  are  adversely  af- 
fecting the  progress  of  the  industry.  They  have,  however, 
every  right  to  reject  any  plan  permitting  notably  partisan 
interests  to  participate  in  the  proposed  joint  conferences 
on  wage  revisions  and  working  conditions,  and  they  are 
also  perfectly  justified  in  their  refusal  to  enter  into  nego- 
tiations with  the  Building  Trades'  Council  as  an  organiza- 
tion instead  of  with  the  union  officials  as  direct  representa- 
tives of  the  respective  unions.  The  charter  of  the  Build- 
ing Trades'  Council  has  been  revoked  by  the  Building 
Trades'  Department  of  the  American  Federation  of  Labor 
because  of  its  arrogant  and  arbitrary  attitude  towards  the 
national  organization.  The  Council,  therefore,  has  no 
further  standing  with  the  parent  body  and  cannot  look  to 
it  for  support.  Furthermore,  several  of  the  important 
trade  unions  which  will  be  affected  by  any  wage  scale  re- 
visions, notably  the  bricklayers  and  the  plasterers,  have 
never  affiliated  with  the  Council  and  hence  these  trades 
must  be  treated  as  separate  cases. 

In  the  opinion  of  the  employers,  conferences  on  wage 
scale  revisions  will  be  far  more  likely  to  result  in  better 
understanding  and  a  more  harmonious  agreement  if  the 
pending  negotiations  are  carried  on  between  their  repre- 
sentatives and  the  delegates  from  all  trade  unions  identi- 
fied with  the  industry,  and  with  no  participation  from  out- 
side interests  other  than  that  of  the  public  group,  which 
is  an  impartial  body,  without  a  vote,  and  which  is  only  con- 
cerned with  bringing  the  local  building  industry  back  to 
a  high  plane  of  service  to  the  general  community. 


Properly   Rebuked   by   the   Governor 

If  one  were  to  judge  from  the  amount  of  noise  .made 
by  the  Chief  Counsel  of  the  Lockwood  Committee  and 
seme  of  its  members,  the  recommendations  of  that  com- 
mittee received  rough  treatment  in  the  closing  hours  of  the 
legislative  session  at  Albany.  .Such  conclusions,  however, 
are  entirely  unwarranted.  The  fact  of  the  matter  is  that 
the  Legislature  adopted  all  of  the  Lockwood  Committee's 
recommendations  which  were  strictly  within  the  province 
of  the  committee.  The  principal  bills  which  failed  of 
passage  should  have  been  designated  as  insurance  bills, 
instead  of  housing  bills — measures  which  might  properly 
have  come  from  a  legislative  committee  appointed  to  in- 
vestigate the  fire  and  life  insurance  companies,  a  re- 
sponsibility which  the  Legislature  at  no  time  gave  to  the 
Lockwood  Committee. 

Because  the  legislative  leaders  exercised  their  own  judg- 
ment in  determining  which  of  the  Lockwood  bills  should  be 


358 


RECORD    AND     GUIDE 


March  25,  1922 


enacted  at  this  time  and  which  required  further  considera- 
tion, they  have  been  made  the  objects  of  a  verbal  bombard- 
ment from  Chief  Counsel  Untermyer.  Some  of  Mr. 
Untermyer's  heaviest  words  have  been  thundered  at  Gov- 
ernor Miller  himself,  and  for  days  after  the  Legislature 
adjourned  the  Hudson  Valley  reverberated  with  the  noise 
of  the  Untermyerian  attacks.  The  net  result,  however, 
has  been  no  change  in  the  situation,  except  the  development 
of  a  first-class  row  in  the  camp  of  the  Lockwoodites. 

The  Record  and  Guide  last  week  expressed  the  thought 
that  the  Lockwoodites,  in  making  so  much  noise  at  Albany 
during  the  closing  hours  of  the  legislative  session,  might 
be  hoping  to  get  a  little  more  of  their  program  adopted  by 
the  lawmakers  than  they  really  had  expected  in  the  first 
place.  But  subsequent  developments  show  that  Qiief 
Counsel  Untermyer,  at  least,  is  not  satisfied.  This  first  was 
shown  by  his  impudent  demand  on  Governor  Miller  to  have 
the  Legislature  held  in  session  until  other  of  the  Lockwood 
bills  were  passed,  which  prompted  the  Governor  to  ad- 
minister a  stinging  rebuke.  "It  would  be  gross  usurpation 
for  me  to  attempt  to  exert  the  executive  power  and  in- 
fluence to  hold  the  Legislature  in  session,"  the  Governor 
advised  Mr.  Untermyer,  "and  I  shall  not  thus  attempt  to 
coerce  a  co-ordinate  branch  of  the  government." 

This  flat  refusal  by  the  Governor  proved  not  to  have  put 
an  end  to  the  matter.  On  the  contrary,  soon  after  the 
Legislature  had  adjourned  sine  die  Mr.  Untermyer  made 
another  amazing  demand  upon  the  Governor,  this  time  ask- 
ing him  to  reconvene  the  Legislature  in  Special  Session 
to  further  consider  the  Lockwood  bills  which  had   failed 


of  passage.  The  Governor  promptly  replied  that  he  did 
not  consider  the  occasion  justified  such  an  unusual  course. 

Stated  in  another  way,  these  incidents  mean  that  Gover- 
nor Miller  very  properly  and  very  pointedly  notified  Mr. 
Untermyer  that  he  would  not  relinquish  his  authority  or 
transfer  his  responsibility  as  Governor  of  the  State  to  the 
chief  counsel  of  a  legislative  committee  or  to  anyone  else. 
The  Governor's  attitude  was  such  as  any  self-respecting, 
courageous  executive  could  be  expected  to  take. 

Not  only  has  Mr.  Untermyer  found  fault  with  Governor 
Miller,  but  he  has  made  unwarranted  attacks  on  Speaker 
Machold  and  other  legislative  leaders,  besides  accusing 
Chairman  Lockwood  of  being  "fooled"  about  his  own  bills, 
and  Vice-Chairman  McWhinney  of  ditching  the  commit- 
tee's program  in  the  Assembly.  His  attitude  reminds  one 
of  the  Quaker  who  said  to  his  wife :  "Everyone  in  the  world 
is  queer  but  Thee  and  Me,  and  sometimes  Thee  is  a  little 
queer." 

Now  that  the  din  is  subsiding,  it  is  seen  that  the  Legis- 
lature has  extended  the  Emergency  Rent  Laws  and  the  Tax 
Exemption  Law  for  another  year,  has  passed  various 
amendments  clearing  up  doubtful  provisions  of  the  Rent 
Laws,  has  passed  the  measure  permitting  life  insurance 
companies  to  invest  ten  per  cent,  of  their  assets  in  housing 
projects,  and  has  extended  for  another  year  the  life  of 
the  Lockwood  Committee  itself.  Something  can  be  said 
in  support  of  each  phase  of  the  Legislature's  action  in  these 
respects,  even  though  the  public  must  now  reconcile  itself 
t('  the  strain  of  another  year  of  tiresome  scolding  from 
the  committee's  Chief  Counsel. 


Speaker  Machold  Declares  Mr.  Untermyer's  Charges  Malicious 


REPLYING  to  Samuel  Untermyer's  charge  that  he  had 
"insisted  on  putting  to  death  without  permitting  them 
to  be  brought  to  a  vote"  certain  bills  advocated  by 
the  Lockwood  Committee,  E.  H.  Machold,  Speaker  of  the 
Assembly,  last  Monday  replied  that  when  it  was  decided  to 
bring  about  an  early  adjournment  of  the  Legislature  he  had 
notified  the  Lockwood  Committee  on  February  1  that  the 
tentative  day  of  adjournment  was  March  17.  After  repeated- 
ly requesting  that  proposed  legislation  be  introduced  as  early 
as    possible    Mr.    Machold    said : 

"I  repeatedly  called  the  attention  of  the  chairman  of  the 
committee  to  the  fact  that  the  report  of  the  committee  and 
the  legislation  were  not  forthcoming  and  was  always  informed 
that  Mr.  Untermyer  had  full  charge  of  the  preparation  of  the 
report  and  the  legislation,  and  that  he  was  still  working  on  them 
at  his  winter  home  in  Florida.  Consequently  these  bills,  eighteen 
in  number,  were  not  introduced  in  the  Legislature  until  March 
1,  and  as  was  well  known  the  standing  committees  went  out  of 
existence  on  March  7,  almost  as  soon  as  the  bills  could  be 
printed  and  placed  on  the  files  of  the  members. 

"Many  of  these  bills  dealt  with  highly  technical  questions 
which  could  not  be  understood  without  very  careful  study,  and 
for  this  reason  the  Assembly  was  inclined  to  be  careful,  believ- 
ing that  under  such  circumstances  it  was  better  to  delay  ac- 
tion than  to  enact  measures  of  far  reaching  effect  which  they 
did    not     understand. 

"I  cannot  condemn  too  strongly  the  unwarranted  and  mali- 
cious statements  of  Mr.  Untermyer'  about  the  activities  of  a 
lobby  at  Albany  against  the  trade  commission  bill  and  one  for 
supervision  of  insurance  rates  by  the  State  Superintendent  of 
Insurance.  His  charge  that  this  latter  bill  was  emasculated  at 
the  behest  of  a  lobby  in  the  last  hour  of  the  session  is  an  abso- 
lute untruth. 

"The  changes  were  made  only  after  a  conference  with  Gov. 
Miller  and  Senator  Lockwood,  and  all  agreed  to  the  changes. 


which  only  made  the  law  conform  to  the  established  practice  of 
the  reasonableness  of  fire  insurance  premiums  which  is  fol- 
lowed in  the  entire  nation,  and  here  let  me  say  that  Mr.  Unter- 
myer well  knows  that  no  changes  were  made  in  any  of  the 
Lockwood  bills  without  consultation  and  agreement  with  the 
chairman  of  the  committee,  Senator  Lockwood,  who  in  most  in- 
stances proposed  the  changes  himself  and  in  every  instance 
agreed  to  whatever  changes  were  made. 

"The  defeat  of  Mr.  Untermyer's  proposal  for  the  establish- 
ment of  a  trade  commission  was  entirely  due  to  the  fact  that 
the  members  did  not  have  an  opportunity  to  study  and  under- 
stand its  provisions.  This  was  a  new  and  very  important  piece 
of  legislation  and  the  Assembly  was  asked  in  the  last  hours 
of  the  session  to  act  on  this  proposal  in  amended  form,  which 
action,  in  my  opinion,  they  very  properly  refused. 

"The  maliciousness  of  Mr.  Untermyer's  statement  is  most  ap- 
parent in  his  charges  about  Assemblyman  McWhinney.  The 
printed  report  of  this  committee,  prepared  by  Mr.  Untermyer, 
contains  a  notation  signed  by  Mr.  McWhinney  in  which  he  dis- 
sents from  this  proposal,  and  here  let  me  ask  how  long  has  it 
been  since  men  in  our  country  have  not  had  the  right  to  have 
different  views  on  public  questions  without  being  charged  with 
base  or  malicious  motives? 

"Mr.  Untermyer  seems  to  think  that  any  one  who  appears  at 
Albany  to  present  his  views  on  legislation  is  a  crook,  and  it  is 
past  my  understanding  how  he  can  mislead  the  public  to  even 
think  that  the  Legislature  should  act  on  his  suggestions  and 
refuse  to  hear  those  of  different  ideas  and  opinions.  If  he 
knows  of  any  crooked  work  in  regard  to  these  proposals  he 
owes   a   duty   to   the   public   to   prove  his   assertions. 

"I  know  of  no  more  dangerous  man  in  our  public  life  today 
than  the  one  who  attempts  to  coerce  action  by  public  officials 
by  means  of  statements  that  there  are  secret  influences  at  work 
to  prevent  such  actions.  Personally,  I  refuse  to  yield  to  any 
such  unwarranted  falsehoods  about  the  action  of  the  .\ssemblv."

REAL    ESTATE     SECTION 


U.S.  Supreme  Court  Again  Upholds  Emergency  Rent  Laws 

Constitutional  Right  of  Legislature  to  Resort  to  Use  of  Police  Powers  in  Regulating 
Rentals  Sustained  in  New  Decision  on  Which  Court  Divided  6  to  3 

[Special  to  the  Record  and  Guide] 


Washington,  March  22. 

THE  United  States  Supreme  Court  for  the  second  time  up- 
held the  constitutionality  of  the  New  York  State  emer- 
gency rent  laws  in  a  decision  handed  down  last  Monday 
by  Justice  Clarke,  in  which  the  court  stood  six  to  three,  Jus- 
tices McKenna,  Van  Devanter  and  McReynolds  dissenting. 
This  decision  follows  closely  the  former  one,  when  on  April 
18,  1921,  in  an  opinion  handed  down  by  Justice  Holmes  the 
court  divided  5  to  4,  Chief  Justice  White  and  Justices  McKenna, 
Van  Devanter  and  MeReynoIds  dissenting.  Since  that  deci- 
sion Chief  Justice  Taft  has  taken  the  place  of  the  late  Chief 
Justice  White,  with  the  result  that  the  court  now  stands  6 
to  3  instead  of  S  to  4  in  taking  the  view  that  the  New  York 
Legislature  did  not  exceed  its  constitutional  authority  in  the 
enactment  of  the  emergency  legislation  and  the  resort  to  po- 
lice powers. 

The  decision  a  year  ago  was  rendered  in  the  case  of  the 
Marcus  Brown  Holding  Company,  Inc.,  appellant,  vs.  Marcus 
Feldman,  Benjamin  Schwartz,  et  al,  in  an  appeal  from  the 
New  York  Federal  District  Court.  Later,  on  May  31  last, 
Louis  Marshall  and  Lewis  M.  Isaacs,  counsel  for  the  Edgar  A. 
Levy  Leasing  Company,  the  Brixton  Operating  Company,  and 
the  No.  810  West  End  Avenue,  Inc.,  submitted  a  joint  memo- 
randum to  the  United  State  Supreme  Court,  opposing  motions 
of  various  tenants  for  dismissal  of  pending  rent  cases  involv- 
ing the  New  York  rent  laws  and  asking  that  such  cases  go  to 
trial  on  their  merits.  The  counsel  contended  that  these  cases 
contained  considerations  not  determined  by  the  court  in  the 
decision  rendered.  These  cases  involved  the  constitutionality 
of  Chapter  944  of  the  Laws  of  1920,  enacted  Sept.  27,  1920;  of 
Chapter  942  and  Chapter  947  of  the  Laws  of  1920.  The  validity 
of  these  statutes  was  sustained  by  the  New  York  Court  of  Ap- 
peals on  March  8,  1921  (230  N.  Y.,  429).  Thereafter  writs  of 
error  were  sued  out  and  were  allowed  by  Mr.  Justice  Brandeis 
on  March  28,  1921.  Motions  to  advance  these  causes  were 
granted  and  hearing  set  for  October  10,  1921.  The  defendants- 
in-error  contended  that  the  decision  in  the  Marcus  Brown 
Holding  Company,  Inc.,  vs.  Feldman  was  determinative  of  the 
questions  sought  to  be  raised  in  the  cases  in  which  writs  of 
error  were  allowed  by  Justice  Brandeis  and  briefs  were  sub- 
mitted by  counsel  denying  the  soundness  of  this  contention. 
The  court  allowed  the  cases  to  remain  on  the  calendar  and 
new  arguments  attacking  the  constitutionality  of  the  New 
York  Emergency  Rent  Laws  were  made  on  Jan.  25,  1922,  by 
Louis  Marshall  and  for  the  defense  by  W.  D.  Guthrie  and 
Julius  Henry  Cohen.  It  was  in  these  cases  that  the  court  for 
the  second  time  upheld  the  constitutional  right  of  the  State  to 
the  use  of  its  police  powers  in  the  regulation  of  rentals.  The 
cases  just  decided  were  the  Edgar  A.  Levy  Leasing  Company, 
Inc.,  vs.  Jerome  Siegel,  et  al,  and  the  810  West  End  Avenue, 
Inc.,  Company  vs.  Henry  R.  Stern,  plaintiffs  in  error  under  a 
writ  from  the  New  York  Supreme  Court. 

In  the  Lcvy-Siegel  case  it  was  set  forth  that  an  apartment 
was  rented  to  Mr.  Siegel  for  1918-1920  at  $1,450  a  year,  and 
that  he  signed  another  lease  in  June,  1920,  providing  that  his 
new  contract  should  be  for  $2,160.  He  refused  under  the  new 
law  to  pay  the  instalment  due  Oct.  1,  1920,  at  the  new  price, 
holding     that    the    second   lease    was     signed    under      coercion 


through  threats  of  eviction  and  that  the  new  rental  was  un- 
just, unreasonable  and  oppressive.  He  offered  to  pay  his  old 
monthly  rental  on  condition  that  he  be  allowed  to  remain  in 
the  apartment.     The  State  court  upheld  Siegel's  contention. 

In  the  other  case  it  was  asserted  that  Stern  was  a  tenant 
holding  over  after  the  expiration  of  his  lease  and  that  he  re- 
fused to  surrender  possession,  maintaining  that  such  was  his 
right  under  the  housing  laws.  The  State  Court  upheld  this  con- 
tention also. 

Commenting  on  the  New  York  housing  laws,  Justice  Clarke 
said ; 

"By  these  acts  a  number  of  changes  were  made  in  the  sub- 
stantive law  and  a  number  of  amendments  to  remedial  statutes 
of  the  State  for  the  purpose  of  securing  to  tenants  in  poses- 
sion  of  houses  or  apartments  occupied  for  dwelling  purposes 
in  described  cities  the  legal  right  to  continue  in  possession  until 
Nov.  1,  1922,  by  the  payment,  or  securing  the  payment  of  a 
reasonable  rental  to  be  determined  by  the  courts,  and  for  the 
purpose  also  of  encouraging  the  building  of  dwellings  by  pro- 
viding under  specified  conditions  for  their  exemption  from  lo- 
cal taxation." 

"In  terms  the  acts  involved  are  'emergency'  statutes  and,  designed  as 
they  were  by  the  Legislature  to  promote  the  health,  morality,  comfort 
and  peace  of  the  people  of  the  State,  they  are  obviously  a  resort  to  the 
police  power  to  promote  the  public  welfare,"  declared  Justice  Clarke. 
"They  are  a  consistent  interrelated  group  of  acts  essential  to  accomplish 
their  professed  purpose. 

"The  warrant  for  this  legislative  resort  to  the  police  power  was  the 
conviction  on  the  part  of  the  State  Legislature  that  there  existed  in  the 
larger  cities  of  the  State  a  social  emergency,  caused  by  an  insufficient 
supply  of  dwelling  houses  and  apartments,  so  grave  that  it  constituted 
a  serious  menace  to  the  health,  morality  and  comfort  and  even  to  the 
peace  of  a  large  part  of  the  people  in  the  State.  That  such  an  emergency, 
if  it  really  existed,  would  sustain  a  resort  to  the  police  power  for  the 
purpose  of  dealing  with  it  cannot  be  doubted,  for,  unless  relieved,  the 
public  welfare  would  suffer  in  respects  which  constitute  the  primary 
and  undisputed,  as  well  as  the  most  usual,  basis  and  justification  for  the 
exercise  of  that  power. 

"In  the  enactment  of  these  laws  the  Legislature  of  New  York  did  not 
depend  solely  on  the  knowledge  which  its  members  had  of  the  existence 
of  the  crisis.  In  January,  1019,  almost  two  years  before  the  laws  com- 
plained of  were  enacted,  the  Governor  of  the  State  appointed  a  recon- 
struction commisisou,  and  about  the  same  time  the  Legislature  appointed 
a  committee  known  as  the  Joint  Legislative  Committee  on  Housing,  to 
investigate  and  report  upon  housing  conditions  in  the  cities  of  the  State, 
and  a  few  months  later  the  Mayor  of  New  York  appointed  a  similar 
committee. 

"The  membership  of  these  committees  comprised  many  men  and 
women  representative  of  the  best  intelligence,  character  and  public  service 
in  the  State  and  of  the  nation.  Their  investigations  were  elaborate  and 
thorough,  and  in  their  reports  placed  before  the  Legislature  all  agree  ; 

"That  there  was  a  very  great  shortage  in  dwelling  house  accommodations 
in  the  cities  of  the  State  to  which  the  acts  apply  ;  that  this  condition  was 
causing  widespread  distress ;  that  extortion  in  oppressive  forms  was 
flagrant  in  rent  profiteering ;  that,  for  the  purpose  of  increasing  rents, 
legal  process  was  being  abused  and  eviction  was  being  resorted  to  as 
never  before,  and  that  unreasonable  and  extortinate  increases  of  rent  had 
frequently  resulted  in  two  or  more  families  being  obliged  to  occupy  an 
apartment  adequate  only  for  one  family,  with  a  consequent  overcrowding, 
which  was  resulting  in  insanitary  conditions,  disease,  immorality,  dis- 
comfort and  widespread   social   discontent. 

"If  this  Court  were  disposed,  as  it  is  not.  to  ignore  the  notorious  fact 
that  a  grave  social  problem  has  arisen  from  the  insuffcient  supply  of 
dwellings  in  all  large  cities  of  this  and  other  countries,  resulting  from 
the  cessation  of  building  activities  incident  to  the  war,  nevertheless,  these 
reports  and  the  very  great  respect  which  courts  must  give  to  the  legislative 
declaration  that  an  emergency  existed  would  be  amply  suffcient  to  sustain 
an  appropriate  resort  to  the  police  power  for  the  purpose  of  dealing  with 
it  in  the  public  interest. 

"The  argument  heard  in  these  cases  and  further  examination  of  the 
subject  confirms  us  in  the  assumption  made  in  the  Marcus  Brown  Com- 
pany case  that  the  emergency  declared  existed  when  tho  acts  were 
passed." 

"It  is  Strenuously  argued  that  the  relation  of  landlord   and 
tenant  is  a  private  one  and  is  not  so  affected  by  a  public  inter-

Real  Estate  Broker  Needs  Nerve,  Optimism  and  Enthusiasm 


Lawrence  B.  Elliman  Relates  His  Own 
Stimulate  Members  of 

DISCUSSING  the  selling  of  apartment  houses  and  residences 
before  the  Real  Estate  Class  of  the  West  Side  Branch  of 
the  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  on  Tuesday  evening,  Lawrence  B.  Elli- 
man, one  of  the  most  widely  known  brokers  in  that  field  of  real 
estate  activity,  told  some  interesting  experiences  and  observations 
based  on  twenty-five  years  as  a  broker  primarily  in  the  Fifth, 
Madison  and  Park  avenue  neighborhoods.  Mr.  Elliman  was  intro- 
duced by  J.  Irving  Walsh,  treasurer  of  the  Real  Estate  Board  of 
New  York,  in  the  absence  of  William  B.  Cardozo,  vice-president 
of  the  Farmers'  Loan  &  Trust  Company,  who  was  ill. 

Beginning  in  a  reminiscent  vein,  Mr.  Elliman  said :  "It  will  be 
twenty-five  years  next  month  since  I  started  in  business  for  my- 
self, when  the  firm  of  Pease  &  Elliman  was  formed.  It  has  been, 
most  of  the  time,  a  very  busy  quarter  of  a  century.  There  is  no 
royal  road  to  real  estate  success  in  this  town  of  ours.  It  is  all 
up  to  the  man  to  make  or  unmake  a  good  business  here.  I  have 
seen  men  come  and  go,  some  most  interesting  and  some  most  un- 
interesting. It  has  been  my  humble  portion  to  witness  many  phases 
of  this  city's  market  for  realty  and  the  varied  phases  of  it  demon- 
strate the  great  changes,  usually  for  the  better,  that  happen  to 
real  estate  here. 

"Without  desiring  to  boost  number  one,  perhaps  some  of  my 
early  experiences  as  a  broker  may  interest  you  gentlemen,  most 
of  whom,  I  take  it,  are  just  beginning  your  march  along  the  high- 
way of  real  estate  success.  Perhaps  I  may  be  an  inspiration  to 
you.  I  would  rather  be  that  than  a  discouragement.  The  late 
S.  Osgood  Pell,  a  mighty  fine  gentleman,  who  met  an  untimely 
end  in  a  railroad  accident  at  Long  Beach  a  few  years  ago,  was  my 
early  mentor  and  guide  in  the  business  which  I  have  made  my 
life  work.  He  was  a  man  of  whpse  personality  one  felt  the  force 
whether  in  business  or  otherwise.  In  those  days  the  name  of  his 
firm  was  Pell  &  Graves.  He  always  used  to  say  to  me :  'Lawrence, 
if  you  are  going  to  knock  an  apple  off  the  tree,  be  sure  and  aim 
high  and  hit  a  good  one.'  Well,  gentlemen,  I  have  always  aimed 
high  and  I  must  confess  that  I  have  obtained  some  pretty  good 
apples. 

"When  I  entered  the  real  estate  tusiness,"  Mr.  Elliman  continued  "I 
was  a  young  fellow  who  had  not  reached  maturity.  My  family  thought 
that  it  was  awful,  terrible,  for  me  to  cast  my  lot  that  way.  What  they 
thought  a  real  estate  man  was  akin  to  I  do  not  know,  but  you  can  imagine 
My  first  work  in  life  was  as  a  clerk  in  the  bacteriological  department  of 
the  tubercular  division  of  the  Board  of  Health  of  this  city.  There  I  was 
under  the  direction  and  supervision  of  the  famous  physician  Dr  Her- 
mann Biggs.  He  taught  me  business  system  so  thoroughly  that  it  has  been 
invaluable  to  me  through  life.  And  here  I  desire  to  allude  to  a  phase  of 
my  work  that  had  a  bearing  on  my  later  work  in  the  real  estate  field 
Dr.  Biggs  maintained  a  card  index  system  in  the  tubercular  division  that 
kept  him  in  touch  with  the  address  of  every  tubercular  case  in  the  city. 
It  wa.s  my  duty  to  record  new  cases  and  tabulate  them,  with  all  particu- 
lars, in  the  office,  I  became  an  expert  student  of  microbes  and  of  men  as 
well.     One  study  went  with  the  other. 

"When  we  embarked  in  the  real  estate  business  Mr,  Pease  and  myself 
took  over  the  business  of  the  Ann  of  Riker  &  Sons,  It  was  an  old  and 
conservative  firm.  They  had  no  easy  method  of  referring  to  names  of 
owners  of  real  estate,  of  given  properties  or  given  neighborhoods.  They 
had  no  quick  method  of  finding  out  all  the  particulars  of  any  parcel  We 
were  younger  than  our  business  forbears  and  perhaps  we  had  some  ideas 
that  they  did  not  have.  .\t  any  rate,  I  thought  that  it  would  be  a  valuable 
reference  system  it  I  installed  in  our  office  a  card  index  method  of  finding 
the  full  particulars  of  properties  in  this  city.  So  I  applied  the  Board  of 
Health  system  to  real  estate  and  instead  of  keeping  track  of  tubercular 
cases  we  kept  track  of  live  real  estate  cases.  It  proved  invaluable  from 
the  start  and  enabled  us  to  get  quick  action. 

"The  size  and  value  of  apartment  houses,  especially  in  the  best 
neighborhoods."  said  Mr,  Elliman,  "have  changed  markedly  dur- 
ing the  last  twenty  years.  It  has  been  said  that  apartment  houses 
degenerate  in  twenty  years  and  that  others  spring  up,  with  time 
and  structural  improvements,  that  surpass  them.  Neighborhoods 
change.  No  one  can  surely  tell  what  will  happen.  Living  condi-. 
tions  change  within  a  generation  or  less.  There  is  now  under 
way  a  larger  and  stronger  appeal  for  living  in  the  country. 

"There  are  few  if  any  individual  builders  of  large  apartment 
houses  now.  Corporations  are  usually  formed  for  the  purpose  or 
co-operative  syndicates.  In  the  better  neighborhoods  the  group  or 
co-operative  plan  is  supplanting  even  the  building  corporation. 
Some  call  it  roof  ownership.  Some  question  the  advisability  of  it. 
I  want  to  state  that  if  the  financing  is  on  sound  principles  there 
IS  no  danger  whatever  from  co-operative  apartment  house  owning

or  construction.  When  properly  carried  out  it  is  a  cheap  way  to 
live.  Twenty  years  ago  it  was  'a  big  apartment  house  that  cost 
$500,000  and  was  covered  by  a  five-year  mortgage.  Now,  apart- 
ment houses  range  in  cost  from  $1,000,000  to  $3,000,000  and  more 
and  with  mortgages  of  much  longer  terms  and  sizes.  The  govern- 
ment figures  an  annual  depreciation  of  two  per  cent,  on  apartment 
houses.  It  should  be  a  larger  sum  in  the  light  of  constantly  chang- 
ing conditions  in  this  city  and  the  cost  of  upkeep. 

"This  year  and  next  will  witness  great  apartment  house  con- 
struction in  this  city.  Already  eleven  large  buildings  are  under 
way  in  the  premier  Park  avenue  section  alone.  More  are  planned 
for  and  many  are  under  way  in  other  parts  of  the  municipality. 
There  is  one  statement  that  I  here  desire  to  emphasize.  Specula- 
tive builders,  corporate  and  individual,  have  got  to  be  educated 
up  to  new  plot  prices.  There  are  a  scarcity  of  good  plots  unless 
there  be  many  in  the  outer  reaches  of  town.  Let  me  say  that  an 
increase  of  $50,000  on  the  cost  of  a  plot  is  not  much  on  a  property 
improvement  to  cost  $1,000,000  and  more.  Nowadays,  the  builder 
has  to  be  helped  to  finance  his  operation.  Obtaining  the  loan  from 
the  lending  institution  on  the  best  terms  possible  and  fixing  all  the 
phases  of  it  is  part  of  the  day's  work.  It  has  become  so  that  in 
the  finer  neighborhoods  the  rich  seller  of  a  property  to  a  builder 
often  helps  in  the  financing. 

"The, exchanging  and  trading  of  property  is  gradually  coming  again 
into  favor.  This  is  a  branch  of  the  business  that  requires  great  caution 
and  technical  knowledge  and  ability  to  satisfy  each  party  to  the  deal 
that  he  is  well  within  the  line  of  safety.  Much  tact  must  be  exercised  in 
the  bringing  of  the  two  minds  together  for  final  action, 

"It  is  an  essential  part  of  a  real  estate  broker's  business  to  make  up 
people's  minds  for  them.  It  is  a  solemn  tact  that  many  persons  do  not 
know  their  own  minds.  Perhaps  I  don't  know  mine  on  some  subject 
extraneous  from  real  estate.  Make  it  your  business  never  to  let  a  buyer 
talk  you  down.  Hold  him  up  on  your  argument  as  you  would  hold  a 
drowning  man  to  a  life  line.  Acquaint  yourself  thoroughly  with  and 
believe  in  your  proposition.  During  the  first  six  months  I  was  in  business 
I  did  not  make  a  nickel.  Nevertheless,  I  made  up  my  mind  I  would  stick 
and  offset  the  loss.  I  am  glad  I  stuck,  I  learned  a  whole  lot  during  that 
six  months.  Among  other  things  I  learned  why  I  did  not  make  a  nickel. 
Don't  lose  your  nerve  nor  your  optimism.  Above  all  keep  your  enthusiasm 
up  to  strong  tension.  1  wish  to  say  that  a  real  estate  man  .may  possess 
practically  all  of  the  combined  qualities  that  bring  success:  but,  if  he 
lacks  enthusiasm,  the  quality  that  carries  conviction  home  to  the  buyer, 
tlicn  he  might  as  well  be  an  ignoramus  or  a  graven  image.  Never  give  up 
while  there  is  a  s'gn  of  life.  One  of  our  brokers  recently  sold  a  million 
dollar  country  estate  after  working  six  years  on  the  proposition.  It  was 
a  glorious  triumph  and  a  nice  piece  of  business, 

"Study  your  business  thoroughly.  Know  all  of  its  ramifications.

with  much  that  you  should  know.  The  men  who  make  big  money 
in  the  real  estate  business,  as  in  every  other,  are  those  who  think 
constructively  along  big  lines.  You  must  bring  to  the  big  fellow 
the  big  propositions  that  show  big  opportunities.  Establish  the 
confidence  of  the  big  fellows  in  your  capacity.  It  takes  time,  as 
all  things  real  do.  You  grow  as  you  go  along.  Unless  a  man  be 
keen  he  will  not  thrive  largely.  Encourage  a  love  for  your  busi- 
ness; just  for  the  love  of  it.  It  helps  wondrously.  I  love  the 
game  whether  I  make  money  or  not.  I  love  to  match  the  minds  of 
the  fellows  playing  for  the  big  real  estate  stakes.  It  is  one  of  the 
joys  of  living,  a  mental  tonic.  Sometimes  the  game  is  long  drawn 
out,  but  go  on  undaunted  to  success.  It  is  a  real  man's  work  and 
worthy  of  all  his  powers  to  endure  and  accomplish.  Above  all 
things  be  absolutely  honest.  No  man  except  a  fool  is  dishonest. 
Use  your  brains.  The  first  time  you  approach  a  principal  be  brief 
and  to  the  point.  Be  sincere.  You  have  then  made  the  right  im- 
pression. A  broker,  however,  should  never  let  an  owner  know 
more  about  real  estate  than  he  does.  So,  therefore,  keep  well 
informed  on  neighborhoods  and  changing  conditions.

Will    Not    Call    Special    Session    for    Lockwood    Bills 

Governor  Miller  Turns  Down  Counsel  Untermyer's  Demand  That  Legislature  Be 
Reconvened  to  Further  Consider  Measures  Which  Failed  of  Passage 

(Special  to  the  Record  and  Guide) 


Albany,  March  23. 

SOME  measure  of  the  work  accomplished  by  the  Legislature 
in  the  session  which  came  to  an  end  last  Friday  may  be 
had  by  taking  into  account  the  fact  that  780  bills  are  now 
awaiting  action,  favorable  or  otherwise,  by  Governor  Aliller. 
The  chief  executive  of  the  State  has  announced  that  public 
hearings  will  be  held  on  any  of  these  bills  if  requests  are  made. 

All  prospect  of  a  special  session  to  consider  the  Lockwood 
bills  that  failed  of  passage  was  emphatically  set  at  rest  by  the 
Governor  early  this  week  when  he  replied  to  Samuel  Unter- 
myer's  appeal   for  the   convening  of  an  extraordinary  session. 

The  chief  counsel  for  the  Lockwood  Committee  had  thrown 
aspersions  upon  Speaker  Machold,  Assemblyman  McWhinney, 
even  upon  Senator  Charles  C.  Lockwood  himself  in  respect  to 
what  happened  in  the  final  hours  of  the  session  to  many  of  the 
bills  fathered  by  the  Lockwood  Committee.  The  Governor 
has  not  as  yet  indicated  what  action  he  will  take  upon  the 
housing  bills  which  ran  the  gauntlet  of  both  legislative  cham- 
bers but  he  took  Mr.  Untermyer  severely  to  task  for  criticising 
the  Legislature  for  not  passing  bills  which  were  not  introduced 
until  March  2,  although  the  date  of  adjournment  was  definitely 
fixed  by  concurrent  resolution  adopted  by  both  houses  on 
February   13,  and  was  tentatively  announced  much   earlier. 

In  his  letter  to  Mr.  Untermyer  the  Governor  declared : 

"You  and  Senator  Lockwood  called  on  me  in  December  and  outlined 
the  legislative  program  which  you  proposed  to  recommend.  Yet,  not- 
withstanding your  great  ability  and  the  fact  you  had  been  giving  intensive 
study  to  the  subject  for  a  long  time,  you  were  unable  to  prepare  the 
bills  for  introduction  until  the  Assembly  committees  had  practically  ceased 
to  hold  hearings,  and  even  then  amendments  were  required  which  you 
yourself  thought  necessary. 

"I  do  not  intend  to  imply  any  criticism  whatever  from  the  delay  in 
introducing  the  bills  until  just  before  adjournment,  but  on  the  other 
hand  you  should  not  indulge  in  unwarranted  assaults  upon  the  Legislature 
for  not  accepting  out  of  hand  measures  of  far  reaching  importance,  which 
had  talten  you   so   long  to  prepare. 

"You  charge  others  with  inserting  'jokers'  in  the  rate  regulation  bill. 
Does  it  not  occur  to  you  that  in  a  matter  involving  a  new  departure  in 
State  policy  of  such  great  consequence  as  the  establishment  of  a  State 
trade  commission  the  Legislature  might  wish  ample  time  to  carefully 
consider  a  measure  which  it  had  taken  you  so  long  to  draft,  not  from 
any  suspicion  that  you  might  have  'jokers'  in  the  bill  but  in  order  to  be 
sure  that  your  views  as  to  what  the  bill  should  provide  were  in  accord- 
ance with  the  views  of  the  Legislature?  It  is  not  an  uncommon  thing 
for  the  recommendations  of  a  legislature  committee  involving  a  com- 
prehensive  program  to  be  laid  over  for  a  year  for  a  full  consideration, 
and  that  course  was  followed  with  respect  to  the  recommendations  of  the 
Davenport  committee  on  taxation  this  year. 

"If  the  trade  commission  bill  had  been  passed  there  would  have  been, 
as  you  admit,  no  reason  for  continuing  the  Lockwood  committee,  and 
whilst  as  you  say  the  Lockwood  committee  has  not  got  jurisdiction  to 
inquire  into  all  of  the  matters  that  would  have  been  within  the  jurisdiction 
of  the  proposed  commission,  yet  I  do  not  think  it  is  unwise  to  allow 
ample  time  for  the  consideration  of  such  a  measure,  and  I  do  not  think 
you  are  justified  in  getting  excited  or  making  reckless  charges  because 
the  Assembly  wanted  more  time  to  consider  It,  especially  In  view  of  the 
fact  that  the  Lockwood  committee  itself,  which  had  been  considering  the 
subject  for  a  long  time,  was  unable  to  make  a  recommendation  on  the 
subject  and  only  reported  the  bill  for  the  consideration  of  the  Legislature. 

"I  do  not  hesitate  to  say  that  with  certain  changes  suggested  by  me 
on  the  night  of  adjournment,  which  Senator  Lockwood  himself  thought 
it  wise  to  make,  the  trade  commission  bill  appears  to  me  to  be  a  sound 
measure,  and  whilst,  generally  speaking,  I  am  opposed  to  the  creation 
of   more   regulatory   bodies.   State  or   Federal,   I  did   reach   the   conclusion 


that  in  view  of  the  disclosures  of  the  Lockwood  committee  of  illegal 
practices,  the  proven  inadequacy  of  the  ordinary  machinery  of  justice  to 
uncover  such  practices,  and  the  growth  in  recent  years  of  associations 
having  the  power  and  the  inevitable  tendency  to  fall  into  unlawful  ways, 
there  was  sufficient  reason  to  justify  the  establishment  of  a  commission 
with  power  to  investigate  unlawful  acts  and  to  license  associations  of 
competitors,  so  that  business  men  could  know  what  they  could  lawfully 
do,  such  associations  could  be  kept  within  lawful  purposes  and  unlawful 
practices  could  be  uncovered,  but  I  am  unwilling  to  coerce  the  Legislature 
into  taking  hasty  action  upon  a  measure  of  such  vast  importance  by  calling 
an  extraordinary  session.  You  have  been  studying  this  subject  for  months, 
and  as  a  result  of  this  study  you  have  produced  a  bill  just  before  the 
Legislature  adjourned.  I  think  the  Legislature  ia  entitled  to  ample  time 
to  study  your  production. 

"iVleanwhile  the  Lockwood  committee  has  been  continued  in  existence.  _ 

"I  am  glad  to  see  you  retract  the  hasty  charge  which  you  made  against 
Superintendent  Stoddard  in  your  interview  published  in  yesterday's  papers. 
You  ought  to  retract  the  equally  unjustifiable  charge  against  Speaker 
Machold  which  you  reiterated  in  your  letter  to  me. 

"The  two  so-called  'jokers,'  which  you  charged  to  have  been  inserted  in 
the  rate  regulation  bill  at  the  behest  of  a  wicked  lobby,  were  inserted  as 
the  result  of  a  conference  between  Senator  Lockwood,  Speaker  Machold  and 
myself.  Senator  Lockwood  thought  they  were  unnecessary  because  they 
were  based  on  such  sound  and  universally  followed  practice  that  the  Super- 
intendent of  Insurance  would  observe  them  in  any  case.  As  you  well  know, 
when  the  Legislature  delegates  authority  to  an  administrative  body  It 
must  set  up  some  standard.  In  my  opinion,  it  is  the  wise  policy  for  the 
Legislature  to  incorporate  sound  and  established  principles  in  measures 
of  that  kind  and  not  to  leave  it  to  the  discretion  of  administrative  officers 
to  observe  them  or  not  as  they  might  see  fit.  We  have  too  much  govern- 
ment at  discretion  now,  and  wherever  it  is  possible,  law,  not  individual 
will  or  discretion,  should  govern. 

"The  foregoing  disposes  of  two  or  three  purposes  which  you  specified 
tor  calling  an  extraordinary  session.  The  other  matters  referred  to  by 
you  do  not  by  themselves  justify  such  an  unusual  course." 

While  the  Governor's  letter  might  reasonably  be  expected  to 
dispel  signs  of  friction  within  the  Lockwood  Committee  and  be- 
tween some  members  of  the  committee  and  its  chief  counsel 
echoes  of  the  disturbance  created  by  the  diatribes  of  Mr.  Un- 
termyer are  still  heard  at  the  Capitol.  Assemblyman  McWhin- 
ney is  understood  to  have  demanded  an  apology  from  Mr. 
Untermyer,  Speaker  Machold  has  denied  accusations  made  by 
the  Lockwood  Committee's  chief  counsel  and  Mr.  Untermyer 
himself  has  retracted  the  charges  he  made  against  Superinten- 
dent of  Insurance  Stoddard  but  reiterated  his  protestations 
against  the  Insurance  Lobby  and  other  evil  influences  which 
he  alleged  had  helped  to  kill  some  of  his  pet  measures,  while 
Senator  Lockwood  himself  is  still  smarting  under  the  accusa- 
tion that  he  was  "fooled"  into  allowing  "jokers"  to  be  incor- 
porated at  the  last  moment  in  the  measures  that  passed.  What 
effect  all  this  will  have  on  the  future  work  of  the  committee  is 
problematical. 

Governor  Miller  is  expected  to  sign  the  Gibbs  bill  licensing 
real  estate  brokers  which  passed  in  the  last  days  of  the  Legis- 
lature. He  vetoed  a  similar  measure  last  year.  The  various  real 
estate  boards  of  the  State  are  strongly  in  favor  of  the  bill 
and  are  urging  the  Governor  to  approve  it.  Under  this  bill, 
which  was  introduced  by  Senator  Gibbs,  the  State  tax  commis- 
sion is  made  the  licensing  body.  In  cities  of  the  first  class  the 
fees  shall  be  $25  for  a  real  estate  broker  and  $5  for  a  real  es- 
tate salesman.  In  second  class  cities,  brokers,  $15;  salesmen, 
$3;  in  all  other  places  brokers,  $10  salesmen,  $2. 


U.  S.  Supreme  Court  Again  Upholds  Emergency  Rent  Laws

est  as   to   render  it  subject   to   regulations   by  the   exercise  of 
the  police  power,"  continued  the  court. 

"It  is  not  necessary  to  discuss  this  contention  at  length,  for 
so  early  as  1906,  when  the  constitutionality  of  the  Tenement 
House  Act  of  New  York,  enacted  in  1901,  was  assailed  as  an 
unconstitutional  interference  with  the  right  of  property  in  land 
on  substantially  all  of  the  grounds  now  urged  against  the 
Emergency  Housing  Laws,  this  court  affirmed  a  decree  of  the 
Court  of  .Appeals  of  New  York,  sustaining  regulations  requir- 
ing large  expenditures  by  landlords  as  a  valid  exercise  of  the 
police  power." 

Justice  Clarke's  opinion  continued: 

"To  require  uncompensated  expenditures  very  certainly  affects  the  right 
of  proi)erty  in   land  as  definitely  and  often  as  seriously   as  regulation  of 


the  amount  of  rent  that  may  be  charged  for  it  can  do.  Many  decisions 
of  this  court  were  cited  as  sufficient  to  justify  the  summary  disposition 
there  made  of  the  question,  as  one  even  then  so  settled  by  authority  as  not 
to  be   longer  open   to   discussion." 

Justice  Clarke  cited  several  precedents  used  in  the  Block 
case  on  this  same  point.  He  said  that  the  authorities  showed 
that  for  a  generation  the  Supreme  Court  had  held  "that  there 
is  no  such  inherent  difference  in  property  in  land  from  that 
in  tangible  and  intangible  personal  property  as  exempts  it 
from  the  operation  of  the  police  power  in  appropriate  cases, 
and  in  both  the  Marcus  Brown  and  Block  cases  it  was  held  in 
terms  that  the  existing  circumstances  clothe  the  letting  of 
buildings  for  dwelling  purposes  with  a  public  interest  sufficient 
to  justify  restricting  property  rights  in  them  to  the  extent  pro- 
vided for  in  the  laws  in  those  cases  objected  to."

Review  of  Real  Estate  Market  for  the   Current  Week 

Large  Apartment  Houses  Formed  a  Prime  Factor  of  Dealing,  While  the  Sale 
of  Business  Leaseholds  and  Loft  Buildings  Were  Features 


THERE  were  enough  good  sized  transactions  in  the  market 
this  week,  to  give  tone  and  character  to  it.  In  its  gen- 
eral trend  the  week  was  as  good  as  the  several  weeks 
that  preceded  it.  Of  marked  interest  was  the  sale  of  a  large 
Madison  avenue  corner  site,  a  few  doors  from  the  Carnegie 
mansion,  for  reimprovement  with  a  12-story  apartment  house 
of  the  best  class.  In  fact,  elevator  apartment  house  sales  gave 
body  to  the  dealing.  Two  such  buildings,  that  overlook  Central 
Park,  were  sold  at  an  aggregate  sum  of  half  a  million  dollars; 
while  other  similar  buildings  in  the  northern  parts  of  the  city 
also  changed  hands.  Upper  Park  avenue  apartment  house  sites 
were  conspicuous  among  the  sales  of  the  week. 

A  sale  that  attracted  some  attention  was  that  of  the  northern 
corner  of  Third  avenue  and  59th  street,  a  part  of  town  whose 
business  and  traffic  importance  is  steadily  growing.  The  sale  of 
the  fee  of  a  one  thousand  year  leasehold,  made  72  years  ago, 
to  the  tenant  of  the  building  was  a  striking  feature  of  activity 
downtown.  Another  interesting  fee  that  passed  to  the  occupant 
of  the  building,  was  that  of   1819  Broadway,  which  is  part  of 


the  site  of  the  new  Gotham  National  Bank  building,  the  bank 
being  the  buyer. 

Some  fine  private  dwellings  were  bought  in  various  parts  of 
the  city  and  several  of  them  were  acquired  by  the  tenants. 
The  activity  of  tenants  in  the  investment  field  appears  to  be 
growing.  A  Riverside  Drive  corner  dwelling  was  among  the 
sales,  as  well  as  some  near  Fifth  avenue. 

There  was  a  healthy  demand  for  small  loft  and  mercantile 
buildings  from  59th  street  southward.  In  the  light  of  the  fact 
that  the  buyers  will  occupy  them  it  shows  that  there  is  abun- 
dant investment  money  among  merchants.  It  all  shows  a 
tendency  to  secure  permanency  of  business  location  in  given  dis- 
tricts. There  were  also  numerous  leases  of  entire  loft  build- 
ings to  single  tenants,  for  long  terms.  The  lines  of  business 
are  varied  as  are  the  neighborhoods. 

Walk-up  apartment  houses  in  both  Manhattan  and  the  Bronx 
were  in  good  demand.  Washington  Heights  and  upper  Harlem, 
especially,  are  contributing  much  of  this  kind  of  dealing,  with 
the   prospects   of  more   as  Spring  approaches. 


PRIVATE  REALTY  SALES. 


THE  total  number  of  sales  reported  but  not 
recorded  in  Manhattan  this  week,  was  77 
as  against  83  last  week  and  117  a  year  ago. 

The  number  of  sales  south  of  59th  st  was  28 
as  compared  with  22  last  week  and  47  a  year 
ago. 

The  number  of  sales  north  or  59th  st  was  49 
as  compared  with  61  last  week  and  70  a  year 
ago. 

From  the  Bronx  21  sales  at  private  contract 
were  reported,  as  against  41  last  week  and  36 
a   year   ago. 

Statistical  tables,  including  the  number  of  re- 
corded instruments,  will  be  found  on  page  372.

Gotham  Bank  Buys  Leasehold 

Estate  of  Amos  R.  Eno  sold  to  the  Gotham

square  feet  and  being  part  of  the  site  of  the 
bank's  new  25-sty  building  at  the  northwest  cor- 
ner of  Broadway  and  59th  st.  It  had  been  leased 
from  the  Eno  estate  by  the  buyer  and  the  term 
would  have  expired  in  a  few  years.  The  price 
was  $400,000. 

Application  to  sell  the  property  for  the  above 
price  has  been  made  by  the  temporary  execu- 
tors, Lucius  H.  Beers  and  William  P.  Eno,  to 
the  Surrogate's  Court,  and  the  parties  to  the 
will  are  said  to  have  consented  to  the  sale  at 
this  figure.  The  city  assesses  the  parcel  for 
taxation   purposes  at  $245,000. 


The  End  of  a  1,000- Year  Lease 

Joseph  F.  Cullman  sold  to  L.  C.  Gillespie  & 
Sons  (John  F.  Gillespie)  the  fee  to  the  plot  lo- 
cated on  Maiden  la.  Front  and  Fletcher  sts ; 
also,  the  adjoining  plot  153  Maiden  la.  through 
to  Fletcher  st,  20x50.  This  gives  Gillespie  Bros, 
a  plot  GO  feet  on  Maiden  la,  with  a  similar  front- 
ago  on  Fletcher  st  and  .50  feet  on  Front  st,  on 
which  they  are  to  construct  a  7-sty  office  build- 
ing, plans  of  which  have  been  drawn  by  Delano 
&    Aldrich,    to    house    their    various    enterprises. 

In  1920  Gillespie  Bros,  bought  the  1.000-year 
lease  on  the  Front  st  and  Maiden  la  plot  from 
Robert  P.  Lister,  but  in  perfecting  their  build- 
ing plana  found  that  the  plot  was  too  small  anil 
negotiations  have  just  been  completed  for  the 
sale  of  the  fee  to  the  Icnsehold  and  the  adjoin- 
ing property  which  Mr.  Cullman  bought  in  1919. 
The   interesting    feature   to   this   lease   was   that 


it  was  made  in  1850  and  was  for  a  straight 
period  of  1.000  years  without  renewals  or  in- 
creased rentals.  Thus,  as  Gillespie  Bros,  take 
title  to  this  fee  and  merge  the  fee  and  the  lease, 
it  will  automatically  bring  to  a  close  the  lease 
which  has  over  900  years  to  run.  Butler  &  Bald- 
win, Inc.,  were  the  brokers  in  the  transaction.

at  131  West  110th  st,  on  plot  150x71.  This

held  at  $325,000.  It  faces  upper  Central  Park

Ferguson  Construction  Co.,  who  immediately

FOR  THE  GREATER  CONVENIENCE 

OF    OUR    CUSTOMERS    WE    HAVE 

JUST  ORGANIZED  A 

Water  Heating  and  House  Heating  Division 

AT  No.  130  EAST  FIFTEENTH  STREET 

TELEPHONE  STUYVESANT  4900 


HERE  will  be  experts  who  will  give  prompt  attention  to  those  who 
are  considering  the  use  of  Gas  either  for  Heating  Water  or  the 
Heating  of  a  House,  Apartment,  Loft  or  Large  Building. 

Architects  and  Builders,  with  advantage  to  themselves  and  their 
clients,  should  ask  for  the  services  of  one  of  our  highly  qualified 
Experts.      His    services    are    gratis. 

As  to  Gas  Water  Heating:  There  are  Gas  Water  Heaters 
for  use  in  the  Home,  Office  or  Factory.  Then  again  we  install  a 
Gas  Water  Heating  System  that  will  furnish  a  large  building  with 
an  instantaneous,  uninterrupted.  Summer  or  all-year-round  supply  of 
hot  water. 

Many  private  houses  are  using  this  System,  as  well  as  many  large 
buildings.  One  of  the  latter  requires  nearly  40,000  gallons  of  hot 
water  every  week.  Another  large  building  requires  nearly  6,000 
gallons    a    day,    every    drop    of    wbich    is    Gas    heated. 

After  the  Gas  Boiler  is  installed  it  requires  no  attention.  The  Boiler 
regulates  itself  automatically. 

Every  person  interested  in  a  newly  constructed  building,  or  one 
under  construction  or  contemplated,  or  in  a  building  being  or  about 
to  be  remodeled,  should  consider  the  advantages  of  Gas  Water 
Heating.

BUILDING     SECTION 


Public  Group  Makes  Final  Effort  to  Avoid  Building  Strike 

Neutral  Committee  of  Financial  and  Civic  Bodies  Suggests  Conference  on  March 
28th  Between  Employers  and  Union  Representatives 


As  the  result  of  the  announcement  made  last  Monday  by 
the  Building  Trades  Employers'  Associations  that  it 
would  refuse  to  make  a  new  agreement  with  the  Build- 
ing Trades'  Council,  the  Public  Group  Committee,  represent- 
ing financial,  civic  and  business  organizations,  held  a  meeting 
in  the  Aletropolitan  Tower  on  Tuesday  afternoon,  at  which  it 
made  a  final  effort  to  prevent  the  halting  of  local  building 
programs  by  a  strike   on  April   1. 

Among  those  present  at  this  meeting  were  Walter  Stabler,  of 
the  Metropolitan  Life  Insurance  Co.;  R.  H.  Shreve  and  Charles 
Butler,  of  the  American  Institute  of  Architects;  Clarence  H. 
Kelsey  of  the  Title  Guarantee  &  Trust  Company;  Martin 
Dodge,  Lincoln  Cromwell  and  C.  S.  Ching  of  the  Merchants' 
Association;  Lewis  B.  Gawtry  of  the  Bank  for  Savings;  W. 
R.  Burgess  of  the  Federal  Reserve  Bank  and  Messrs.  Smith  of 
the  Bron.x  Board  of  Trade,  Ledue  of  the  Greenwich  Savings 
Bank,  Tighe  of  the  New  York  Trust  Company,  Milliken  of  the 
Queensborough  Chamber  of  Commerce  and  Wilson  of  the 
Bronx  Board  of  Trade. 

After  a  long  discussion  of  the  local  labor  situation  this  com- 
mittee decided  to  make  one  further  effort  to  bring  the  em- 
ployers and  union  leaders  together  in  conference  for  considera- 
tion of  wage  scale  revisions  prior  to  April  1.  A  letter  was 
drafted  and  sent  to  Chairman  C.  C.  Lockwood,  of  the  Lockwood 
Joint  Legislative  Committee;  Patrick  Crowley,  president  of 
the  Building  Trades'  Council  and  C.  G.  Norman,  chairman  of 
the  Board  of  Governors  of  the  Building  Trades  Employers' 
Association.  This  letter  contained  an  invitation  to  each  of  the 
organizations  to  send  a  committee  of  three  to  meet  three  rep- 
resentatives of  the  public  group  at  a  meeting  to  be  held  in  the 
Metropolitan  Tower  on  Tuesday,  March  28,  at  3  o'clock. 

According  to  the  resolution  adopted  at  the  meeting  last  Mon- 
day afternoon,  none  of  the  groups  is  to  be  represented  at  the 
forthcoming  meeting  by  counsel.  This  would  eliminate  Mr. 
Untermyer,  who  is  claimed  by  the  public  group  to  be  the  real 
.stumbling  block  in  the  building  trades  negotiations. 

The  letter  sent  by  the  Public  Group  Committee  to  Senator 
Lockwood,  President  Crowley  and  Chairman  Norman,  was 
signed  by  Walter  Stabler,  Robert  D.  Kohn  and  Robert  E.  Si- 
mon, said : 

"As  you  will  recall,  a  meeting  of  some  twenty  civic  commer- 
cial banking  and  insurance  organizations  interested  in  the 
building  industry  was  held  under  the  auspices  of  the  Building 
Trades  Employers'  Association  at  the  Engineers'  Club  on  Jan. 
4,  1922.  As  an  outcome  of  the  meeting  a  committee  of  five  was 
appointed  to  confer  with  the  officers  of  the  Building  Trades 
Council  and  the  Employers'  .'Kssociation  for  the  purpose  of 
establishing  some  method  of  negotiation  which  would  permit 
the  representation  of  the  public  and  thereby  safe-guard  the 
primary  interest  which  the  public  has  in  this  industry. 

"After  a  consideration  today  of  the  report  of  this  special 
committee,  the  Citizens  Conference  adopted  the  following  pre- 
ambles and  resolutions  : 

"Whereas,  after  more  than  two  months  of  negotiations  con- 
ducted by  the  Committee  of  the  Citizens'  Conference  in  an 
effort  to  bring  the  Building  Trades  Employers'  Association  and 
the  Building  Trades  Council  together  with  representatives  of 
the  public  in  an  attempt  to  have  a  working  agreement  reached 
by  the  two  bodies  in  the  present  of  the  public,  and, 

"Whereas,  if  some  agreement  is  not  reached  we  are  reliably 


informed  that  building  operations  in  the  city  are  liable  to  be 
discontinued  about  April  1. 

"Now,  therefore,  be  it  resolved  that  as  a  final  effort  to  bring 
together  the  two  parties  to  this  difference,  we  now  formally 
and  publicly  invite  a  committee  of  three  each  from  the  Lock- 
wood  committee,  the  Building  Trades  Council  and  the  Building 
Trades  Employers'  Asociation  to  meet  the  undersigned  three 
members  of  the  public  group,  none  of  the  groups  to  be  repre- 
sented by  counsel  at  this  conference. 

"Believing  that  only  good  can  come  from  a  round  table 
discussion  at  this  time  we  urge  you  respectfully  to  take  the 
necessary  steps  to  see  that  this  invitation  is  accepted." 

In  Mr.  Norman's  statement  to  the  Public  Group  he  recalled 
that  the  reason  the  employers  made  an  agreement  in  1919  with 
the  council  for  all  the  unions  and  all  the  employers  was  that 
the  itnions  were  out  of  hand  and  were  violating  existing  agree- 
ments. 

"The  Lockwood  committee  is  a  political  body,"  he  said,  "which 
has  disqualified  itself  from  acting  as  a  conciliator  or  arbitrator. 
Its  counsel  has  for  some  time  been  a  legal  adviser  of  the  unions 
in  the  clothing  industry,  and  has  unqualifiedly  committed  himself 
on  the  question  of  wages  and  of  conditions  of  employment 
which  should  prevail  in  the  building  industry.  He  is  a  prejud- 
iced partisan,  who  is  now  acting  in  an  advisory  capacity  to  the 
Building  Trades  Council." 

Chairman  Norman  of  the  Building  Trades  Employers'  Asso- 
ciation, stated  that  the  proposal  of  the  Public  Group  Com- 
mittee would  undoubtedly  be  acceptable  to  his  organization, 
notwithstanding  the  objections  raised  to  treating  with  the 
Council  as  a  body. 

President  Crowley  of  the  Building  Trades'  Council,  how- 
ever, stated  in  an  interview  that  he  would  endeavor  if  neces- 
sary to  have  Samuel  Untermyer  made  a  delegate  of  the  Marble 
Cutters'  union  so  that  the  employers  would  find  it  difficult  to 
refuse  to'meet  him. 

The  stipulation  of  the  Public  Group  Committee  that  none 
of  the  groups  is  to  be  represented  by  counsel  in  the  forth- 
coming meeting  was  the  result  of  a  letter  received  by  the  com- 
mittee from  the  Building  Trades  Employers'  Association, 
signed  by  C.  G.  Norman  as  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Gover- 
nors, in  which  that  body  definitely  committed  itself  as  follows  : 

1. — Refusal  to  make  a  new  wage  and  working  agreement  with  the 
Building  Trades  Council. 

2. — Favoring  the  exclusion  of  Mr.  Untermyer  and  the  Lockwood  com- 
mittee from  all  deliberations  bearing  on  the  adjustment  of  wages  and 
working  conditions  in  the  local  building  industry. 

3. — Suggesting,  as  a  plan  of  procedure  in  the  interest  of  a  new  agree- 
ment, "that  a  committee  of  the  public  (Stabler)  group  meet  with  the 
representatives  of  the  employers  and  employees  to  advise  and  agree  upon 
a_  set  of  principles  as  a  basis  for  all  new  trade  agreements.  When  prin- 
ciples upon  which  trade  agreements  should  be  based  are  agreed  upon 
meetings  shall  then  be  held  of  the  agreement  committees  representing  the 
employers  and  employees  In  each  trade  to  formulate  a  trade  agreement 
and  suggest  a  wage  scale  for  approval  by  a  general  conference  in  which 
the  public  shall  be  represented.  Should  the  employers  and  employees  in 
any  trade  fail  to  come  to  an  agreement,  the  matters  upon  which  they  fail 
to  agree  can  then  bo  referred  to  the  committee  representing  the  public 
group,  the  employers  and  the  employees." 

After  receiving  this  communication  the  Public  Group  Com- 
mittee recognized  that  it  had  reached  an  impasse  after  endeav- 
oring for  more  than  two  months  to  bring  employers  and  labor 
representatives  together  in  conference.  The  employers 
refused  to  have  Samuel  Untermyer  or  the  Lockwood  Commit- 
tee officially  at  this  conference  but  were  disposed  to  permit 
sub-committees  of  the  Lockwood  Committee  to  be  present  as 
individuals.

Saks  &  Co.  Will  Erect  $4,250,000  Store  on  Fifth  Avenue 

Projected  Structure,  From  Plans  by  Starret  &  Van  VIeck,  Will  Become  Notable 
Addition  to  City's  Famous  Shopping  District 


n» 


SAKS  &  CO.,  retail  dry  goods 
merchants,  have  announced 
their  plans  for  the  construc- 
tion of  a  notable  addition  to  the 
Fifth  Avenue  shopping  district. 
This  firm  has  commissioned  Star- 
rett  &  Van  Vleck  to  prepare  the 
designs  and  specifications  for  a 
modern  fireproof  department  store 
building,  eleven  stories  in  height, 
with  basement  and  sub-basement, 
which  will  be  erected  on  the  east 
side  of  Fifth  Avenue,  from  Forty- 
ninth  Street  to  Fiftieth  Street,  at 
a  cost  of  about  $4,250,000  for 
building  and  equipment. 

The  plot  to  be  improved  was 
leased  by  Saks  &  Co.,  some  time 
ago  from  the  Kemp  Realty  Com- 
pany for  a  period  of  105  years. 
The  lease  actually  calls  for  a 
twenty-one  year  term  with  four 
renewals  of  similar  duration  and 
the  lessors  bind  themselves  to  pay 
approximately  $35,000,000  in  rent 
for  the  use  of  this  property  dur- 
ing the  next  century.  The  site  of 
the  projected  structure  involves 
frontages  of  158  feet  on  Fifth 
Avenue  and  of  200  feet  and  208 
feet  in  Forty-ninth  and  Fiftieth 
Streets  respectively.  The  avenue 
frontage  takes  in  the  entire  block 
with  the  exception  of  the  42-foot 
plot  owned  by  the  Democratic 
Club  and  which  Saks  &  Co.  have 
been  unable  to  obtain  by  either 
purchase  or  lease  under  favorable 
terms. 

The  new  Saks  Building  will  cover  a  plot  having  an  area  of 
400,000  square  feet,  and  in  design  and  construction  will  be  one 
of  the  finest  structures  on  the  Nation's  most  famous  thorough- 
fare, in  addition  to  being  the  first  large  retail  department  store 
to  seek  a  permanent  location  on  the  avenue  north  of  Forty-sec- 
ond Street.    The  plans  provide  for  500  feet  of  show  windows. 

The  facades  will  be  constructed  of  face  brick  and  limestone 
and  will  be  divided  by  four  main  entrances.  Two  of  these  will 
be  located  on  the  Fifth  Avenue  front,  on  either  side  of  the 
Democratic  Club,  and  one  each  on  the  Forty-ninth  and  Fiftieth 
Street  sides.     Plans  for  this  building  call  for  many  improve-

ments  making  for  greater  service  and  convenience  to  both 
customers  and  employees.  On  the  eighth  floor  there  will  be 
rest  rooms,  silence  rooms,  a  hospital,  a  restaurant  and  other 
features  specifically  designed  for  the  welfare  of  the  hundreds 
of  workers  who  will  be  employed  in  this  store.  The  setback 
at  the  eighth  floor,  required  under  the  provisions  of  the  Zoning 
Law,  will  be  utilized  as  a  hanging  garden  for  the  employees. 
Twenty  electric  elevators  will  be  an  important  part  of  the 
equipment  for  handling  traffic,  both  passenger  and  merchan- 
dise, within  the  building,  and  experts  say  this  service  will  be 
sufficient  to  move  2,000  persons  every  five  minutes. 


Real  Estate  Broker  Needs  Nerve,  Optimism  and  Enthusiasm

seller  what  is  a   fair  price  and  should  be  in  a  position  to  know 
what  is  a  fair  price. 

"There  are  various  ways  of  getting  buyers  and  tenants.  We  fol- 
low up  the  expiration  of  our  own  leases  and  those  of  other  brokers 
as  far  as  we  can.  Six  months  before  a  lease  expires  we  see  the 
tenant  and  we  try  either  to  renew  his  lease,  or  make  a  new  and 
better  lease  or  sell  him  the  property.  This  is  a  fruitful  source  of 
dealing.  Another  source  is  signs  on  properties.  They  work  night 
and  day  and  unlike  some  brokers  they  never  sleep.  Newspapers 
are  valuable  mediums.  They  often  attract  persons  who  otherwise 
would  never  think  of  buying.    They  are  campaigners  for  victory. 

"It  may  seem  strange  to  you  but  we  even  follow  up  marriage  and 
death  notices  in  the  newspapers.     We  even  follow  up  proceedings 


in  the  divorce  courts.  Out  of  the  mill  of  death,  marriage  and 
divorce  come  numerous  sales  of  real  property.  Real  estate  is  a 
very  personal  business  so  far  as  private  houses  are  concerned.  It  is 
often  a  business  with  a  social  phase.  We  always  see  both  parties 
to  a  marriage.  We  have  gotten  so  we  know  family  histories  pretty 
well.  They  have  a  bearing  on  the  market.  We  break  in  our 
brokers  in  the  canvassing  department.  There  they  are  sure  to 
learn. 

"Never  fail  to  treat  either  buyer,  seller  or  tenant  fairly  and 
squarely,"  said  Mr.  EUiman  in  conclusion.  "Every  customer  has 
friends  and  tells  others  of  his  treatment.  The  first  year  we  were 
in  business  we  did  none  with  our  own  friends,  but  we  did  with 
friends  of  our  friends,  who  told  our  friends  how  we  had  treated 
them.     Fair  treatment  is  the  most  satisfactory  to  everybody."

Marked  Gains  Noted  in  Commitments  for  Local  Building 


Residential    Construction    Dominating   All  Other  Types  According  to  Figures 
Tabulated  from  Statistics  Gathered  by  F.  W.  Dodge  Company 


CONSTRUCTION  statistics  for  the  past  few  weeks  indi- 
cate that  the  building  industry  is  rapidly  forging  ahead 
and  that  within  the  next  few  weeks  the  1922  building 
program  will  be  well  under  way.  There  has  been  a  rapid  gain 
in  the  volume  of  new  work  for  which  plans  are  reported  and 
the  record  of  contracts  actually  placed  during  the  past  few 
weeks  bears  out  all  predictions  that  the  coming  spring  will  be 
a  season  of  more  than  normal  activity  in  the  building  industry. 

According  to  figures  tabulated  by  the  F.  W.  Dodge  Company 
for  the  territory  including  all  of  New  York  State  and  New 
Jersey,  north  'of  Trenton,  there  was  reported  a  total  of  817 
building  and  engineering  operations  for  which  plans  were  in 
progress  in  the  week  of  March  10  to  17  inclusive.  During  the 
same  period  contracts  placed  for  new  construction  projects 
numbered  402  and  represented  a  total  valuation  of  $24,370,100. 

Every  one  familiar  with  the  construction  industry  now  agrees 
that  no  matter  how  much  commercial,  industrial  and  miscel- 
laneous construction  is  undertaken  during  the  coming  season, 
residential  building  will  continue  to  dominate  in  both  volume 
and  cost.  The  program  of  speculative  building  in  Greater  New 
York  is  far  greater  in  volume  and  more  diversified  in  character 


than  it  was  last  year,  and  builders  are  of  the  opinion  that  it 
will  be  responsible  for  maintaining  unusually  high  levels  in 
material  and  labor  costs  during  the  forthcoming  season. 

The  list  of  817  projects  for  which  plans  were  reported  during 
the  eleventh  week  of  this  year  includes  78  business  operations, 
such  as  stores,  offices,  lofts,  commercial  garages,  etc.,  $3,635,500; 
16  educational  buildings  of  one  type  or  another,  $1,964,000;  4 
hospitals  and  institutions,  $67,300;  11  industrial  projects,  $404,- 
000;  6  public  buildings,  $120,000;  21  public  works  and  public 
utilities,  $806,400;  3  religious  and  memorial  structures,  $113,000; 
673  residential  operations,  including  apartments,  flats  and  tene- 
ments and  one-  and  two-family  dwellings,  $28,868,900,  and  5 
social  and  recreational  operations,  $247,000. 

Among  the  402  operations  for  which  contracts  were  reported 
during  the  week  of  March  10  to  17  inclusive  were  46  com- 
mercial projects  of  various  types,  $7,870,500;  7  educational 
buildings,  $492,200;  1  hospital,  $132,000;  5  factory  and  industrial 
operations,  $204,000;  1  public  building,  $22,000;  17  public  works 
and  public  utilities,  $919,900;  3  religious  and  memorial  struc- 
tures, $73,000;  319  residential  operations,  including  multi-family 
dwellings  and  one-  and  two-family  houses,  $14,506,500,  and  3 
social  and  recreational  projects,  $150,000.

Report  on  Theatre  Collapse 

Collapse  of  the  roof  the  Knickerbocker 
Theatre,  in  Washington,  was  due  to  weak- 
nesses in  the  design  of  the  structural 
steel  supporting  the  roof  and  of  the 
Columbia  Road  wall,  according  to  the 
report  of  the  committee  appointed  by  the 
Associated  General  Contractors  of 
America  made  public  this  week.  The 
direct  cause  was  attributed  to  the  unseat- 
ing of  the  north  end  of  the  main  truss, 
principally  through  failure  of  the  north- 
ernmost top  gusset  plate  of  that  truss  and 
the  bottom  chord  where  it  rested  on  the 
Columbia    Road    wall. 

The  responsibility  for  these  weaknesses 
is  placed  upon  the  architect  who  accepted 
a  faulty  design  from  the  fabricator.  The 
contractor  is  not  held  responsible  by  rea- 
son of  the  quality  of  his  work  or  by  any 
non-compliance  with  the  design,  specifica- 
tions, and  contract,  nor  for  the  alternate 
design,  but  is  held  jointly  responsible  with 
the  building  department  of  the  District 
for  failure  to  apprehend  the  violations  of 
the  building  code  in  detecting  that  the 
design  aid  not  provide  for  anchoring 
trusses  to  the  walls  to  prevent  their  slip- 
ping from  their  bearings. 

The  committee  of  the  Associated  Gen- 
eral Conti'actors,  representing  engineers, 
contractors,  and  the  public,  is  composed 
of  Rudolph  P.  Miller,  consulting  engineer,

CURRENT    BUILDING    OPERATIONS 


THE  pending  conferences  on  a  new 
agreement  with  the  building  trade 
unions  has  been  one  of  the  principal  topics 
of  discussion  among  local  building  inter- 
ests during  the  past  week.  There  is  little 
doubt  but  that  a  decided  change  in  the 
construction  outlook  will  occur  just  as 
soon  as  this  important  matter  is  settled 
as  there  is  considerable  projected  con- 
struction being  held  in  abeyance  until 
wage  scales  are  definitely  determined  for 
the  remainder  of  the  year. 

The  passage  of  the  tax  exemption 
measure  by  the  Legislature  has  improved 
the  prospects  for  residential  construction 
during  the  coming  months  and  in  addition 
it  has  stopped  the  rush  to  get  operations 
now  planned,  on  their  foundations  before 
April  1.  Undoubtedly  the  Board  of  Esti- 
mate and  Apportionment  will  act  favor- 
ably upon  continuing  local  exemption  and 
with  this  in  mind  speculative  builders  are 
going  slower  than  they  were  on  many  of 
their  important  operations. 

Common  Brick — Business  in  the  New 
York  wholesale  market  for  common  brick 
has  been  fairly  active  during  the  past 
week.  Considerable  brick  has  been 
brought  down  the  river  and  there  is  now 
sufficient  on  hand  for  all  immediate  re- 
quirements. The  Hudson  is  entirely  open 
to  navigation  now  and  it  is  reported  that 
the  first  tow  of  brick  from  Kingston  is 
due  to  arrive  within  the  next  day  or  so. 
There  is  every  likelihood  that  there  will 
be  a  minimum  of  twenty  cargoes  of  brick 
brought  into  the  New  York  market  from 
now  on  and  this  is  adequate  for  current 
demands.  Prices,  while  not  changed  since 
last  week  appear  to  be  firming  up  to  some 
extent  and  there  is  less  brick  available 
at  .$16  a  thousand  than  there  was  a  week 
ago. 

Summary — Transactions  in  the  North 
River  brick  market  for  the  week  ending 
Thursday,  March  23,  1922.  Condition  of 
market:  Demand  good;  prices  firm  and 
unchanged.  Quotations;  Hudson  Rivers, 
$16  to  $16.50  a  thousand  to  dealers  in 
cargo  lots  alongside  dock.  Number  of 
cargoes  arrived,  23:  sales,  32.  Distribu- 
tion: Manhattan,  12;  Brooklyn,  8;  New 
Jersey,    1;    Astoria,    1;    Yonkers,    1. 

Lnmber — Business  in  the  lumber  in- 
dustry is  slowly  gaining  momentum  and 
both  wholesale  and  retail  departments  are 
looking  forward  to  a  season  of  excellent 
progress.  Sales  are  steadily  increasing 
and  production  is  improving  to  a  consid- 
erable degree.  There  are  prospects  of  a 
tremendous  building  movement  this  com- 
ing spring  and  summer  and  lumber  man- 
ufacturers and  dealers  are  making  active 
preparations    tor    handling    the    business 


that  will  come  as  a  result  of  the  large 
volume  of  new  construction  now  sched- 
uled. Lumber  experts  are  of  the  opinion 
that  stocks  are  not  quite  up  to  the  normal 
for  this  season,  but  many  of  the  manu- 
facturers have  been  able  to  increase  pro- 
duction sufficiently  to  keep  it  approxi- 
mately level  with  orders.  There  is  little 
being  held  in  reserve,  however,  for  in- 
creased demand  in  the  future.  During  the 
past  few  weeks  shipments  have  been 
somewhat  below  both  orders  and  produc- 
tion because  of  the  most  important  of  the 
recent     orders    are     for     future     delivery. 


Lumber  prices  are  very  firm  and  in  cer- 
tain lines  there  is  a  decided  tightening  of 
values.  Builders  are  generally  of  the 
opinion  that  lumber  prices  are  likely  to 
advance  rapidly  as  soon  as  the  buying 
movement  starts  in  earnest  because  of  the 
great  volume  of  new  construction  in  pros- 
pect and  the  admitted  relatively  low 
ratio  of  production. 

Structural  Steel — Interest  in  the  local 
market  for  fabricated  structural  steel  has 
improved  considerably  during  the  past

Although  the  actual  tonnag'e  bookings  o( 
the  past  week  are  not  particularly  large 
they  represent  a  start  of  building  activity 
in  this  vicinity  that  will  steadily  grow  in 
volume  throughout  the  months  to  come. 
Prices  are  practically  unchanged  and 
quotations  on  fabricated  material,  erected 
in  commercial  structures  continues  to 
range   from    $60    to   $65    per  ton. 

Reinforcing  Bars — Demand  for  concrete 
reinforcing  bars  is  dull  at  present  but  as 
considerable  new  commercial  and  indus- 
trial   construction    is    now    being    planned 


it  is  more  than  likely  that  business  will 
improve  shortly  as  several  important 
operations  are  soon  to  be  released  for  esti- 
mates. Several  large  contracts,  for  which 
estimates  have  been  taken,  are  now  pend- 
ing and  the  award  of  this  work  will 
materially  affect  the  market  situation. 
Prices  are  strong  and  the  minimum  is

Face  Brick — The  demand  is  steadily  in-

rushed  to  capacity  in  order  to  handle  the 
demand  for  their  products.  Face  brick 
prices  are  generally  firm  and  no  reduc- 
tions  are    expected    in    the   near   future. 

VVindoiv  Glass  —  Dealers  in  window 
glass,  although  not  specially  busy  at  pres- 
ent, are  looking  forward  to  generally  im- 
proved conditions  during  the  latter  half  of 
the  year  because  of  the  promise  of  a  vast 
amount  of  new  construction  work.  Re- 
ports from  suburban  districts  indicate  an 
important  house-building  movement  to 
start  as  soon  as  weather  conditions  permit 
and  the  extension  of  the  tax  exemption 
la'w  will  be  responsible  for  a  continua- 
tion of  the  multi-family  house  construc- 
tion that  marked  the  season  of  1921. 
Window  glass  prices  are  steady  and  no 
changes  of  consequence  are  anticipated 
at   this  time. 

NaiLs — The  market  is  erratic  and  diffi- 
cult to  describe.  Buying  is  active  in  some 
districts  and  extremely  light  in  others. 
Tliere  is  a  general  feeling  that  conditions 
will  manifestly  improve  just  as  soon  as 
the  spring  building  movement  commences 
as  there  is  a  vast  amount  of  new  construc- 
tion in  prospect:  all  signs  point  to  an 
unusually  heavy  demand  for  all  materials 
and  supplies.  At  present  nail  prices  are 
subject  to  considerable  shading  with  base 
quotations  ranging  from  $3.15  to  $3.25  per 
keg,  for  wire  nails,  and  $4  to  $4.25  per 
keg,  for  cut  nails. 

Builders'  Hardware — Manufacturers  and 
dealers  are  both  well  satisfied  with  the 
demand  at  present  and  the  outlook  for 
the  coming  months.  Business  has  been 
fairly  active  throughout  the  winter  and 
according  to  the  plans  now  in  preparation 
there  should  be  a  much  greater  volume 
of  business  during  the  coming  season  than 
there  was  last  year.  Hardware  stocks 
are  well  asorted  and  prices  are  steady. 

Cast  Iron  Pipe — The  demand  for  this 
commodity  continues  active  and  the  out- 
look is  extremely  favorable.  Private  buy- 
ing is  gaining  in  volume  and  there  is 
quite  some  municipal  business  in  sight  for 
the  next  few  months.  Manufacturers  are 
generally  well  satisfied  with  the  market 
for  cast  iron  pipe  and  the  majority  of 
them  ha\e  their  plants  running  at  from 
seventy  to  eighty  per  cent,  of  capacity. 
Prices  continue  stiff  and  no  reductions 
are  likely  for  the  time  being.  New  York 
quotations  are  as  follows:  6  in.  and 
larger,  $47.30  per  net  ton;  4  in.  and  5  in., 
$52.30;  3  in.,  $62.30,  with  Class  A  and  gas 
pipe  $4  extra  per  ton. 

Linseed  Oil — Just  at  present  business  in 
tliis  line  is  extremely  dull  with  buying 
even  less  active  than  it  was  a  few  weeks 
ago.      Prices   are   fairly   firm.

are  adjustable  to  any  ceiling

mantled and  re-erected  over 
night,  at  less  than  2.5%  of  the 
cost  of  the  ordinary  partitions.

In  that  giant  among  giants — the 
Equitable  Building — what  parti- 
tion to  use  was  a  serious  ques- 
tion. 

You  can  imagine  that  with  the 
stream  of  tenants  moving  and 
changing  continually  the  cost  of 
building  new  partitions  might 
easily  be  tremendous. 

There  was  not  only  the  cost  of 
the  material  destroyed  if  plaster 
partitions  were  used,  but  the 
dust  annoyance  to  the  tenants 
had  to  be  thought  of. 

Every  type  of  partition  material 
was  considered  and  rejected  for 
one  reason  or  another. 

Finally  Empire  Steel  Partitions 
was  decided  upon  because  of  the 
"ease  and  economy"  with  which 
it  can  be  moved  whenever  ten- 
ants require  alterations. 


"The  partitions  embodying  the 
EMPIRE  STEEL  construction 
give  us  a  flexible  partition  which 
can  be  used  on  nearly  every 
floor,  and  which  can  be  moved  at 
low  cost,  without  expensive 
waste  or  damage.

An  Overworked  "Emergency" 

The  United  States  Supreme  Court  having  upheld  the  con- 
stitutionahty  of  the  Emergency  Rent  Laws  in  two  decisions 
covering  every  point  raised  by  eminent  counsel,  no  other 
course  seems  left  to  real  estate  interests  but  to  accept  the 
situation,  and  make  the  best  of  it.  Close  study  of  the  latest 
opinion  handed  down  by  Mr.  Justice  Clarke  and  printed  in 
the  last  issue  of  the  Record  and  Guide  confirms  those  in- 
strumental in  the  prosecution  of  the  test  suits  in  believing 
that  the  decision  is  complete  and  final  and  that  any  further 
attempts  to  overturn  the  laws  as  enacted,  on  the  ground  of 
their  unconstitutionality,  would  be  futile. 

There  remain  two  questions  relative  to  the  housing  crisis 
about  which  doubt  still  exists.  One  of  these  has  to  do  with 
what  constitutes  "reasonable  rent,"  and  this  question  will 
likely  be  elucidated  when  the  Court  of  Appeals  passes  on 
the  case  of  Hal!  vs.  Moos,  (an  appeal  from  the  decision 
handed  down  by  Justice  Samuel  Greenbaum  in  the  Appellate 
Division,  First  Department),  in  which  the  court  held  that 
eight  per  cent,  upon  the  unencumbered  fee  valuation  of  the 
property  was  just  and  equitable.  This  decision,  while  set- 
tling many  of  the  points  of  contention  between  landlords 
and  tenants  on  a  fairly  satisfactory  basis,  yet  left  indecisive 
the  manner  in  which  the  valuation  of  property  should  be 
determined.  To  base  present  valuation  upon  the  "existing 
market  value  of  property  before  the  period  of  abnormality 
set  in,"  as  suggested  by  Justice  Greenbaum,  appears  neither 
fair  nor  equitable.  And  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  the  Court 
of  Appeals,  in  reviewing  Justice  Greenbaum's  decision,  will 
set  up  a  better  standard  for  the  appraisal  of  values  upon 
which  to  base  the  eight  per  cent,  return,  which,  all  things 
considered,  seems  reasonable. 

The  other  question  relates  to  the  continuance  of  the 
"emergency,"  the  prevalence  of  which  assured  to  the  State 
recourse  to  the  use  of  the  police  power  in  the  enactment  of 
the  Emergency  Rent  Laws.  It  has  always  been  contended 
by  officials  of  the  Real  Estate  Board  of  New  York  that 
there  existed  no  such  "emergency"  as  that  upon  which  the 
Rent  Laws  were  predicated ;  at  least  that  the  facts  relative 
to  such  an  "emergency"  had  been  unduly  exaggerated  and 
that,  in  any  event,  the  shortage  prevailed  only  in  very  low- 
priced  living  quarters.  It  is  conceivable  that  the  laws  might 
be  attacked  on  the  ground  that  even  if  the  "emergency"  once 
existed  it  no  longer  exists  and  therefore  the  continued  use 
of  the  police  powers  of  the  State  in  the  regulation  of  rentals 
is  unnecessary.  There  is  no  present  prospect  that  this  will 
be  done,  however,  as  those  who  have  so  urgently  and  nntir- 
ingly,  although  unsuccessfully,  fought  to  protect  the  rights 
of  property-owners  are  of  the  opinion  that  such  action  may 
be  more  effectively  taken  next  fall,  after  the  latest  extension 
of  the  Emergency  Rent  Laws  goes  into  effect,  by  which  <iine 
the  full  measure  of  the  large-scale  building  operations  now 
under  way  or  contemplated  may  be  used  in  discounting 
"emergency"  statistics. 

There  remains  the  advisability  of  preparing  for  a  cam- 
paign to  modify  the  Rent  Laws,  which  many  think  are  in  a 
fair  way  to  become  permanent  through  the  same  political 


pressure  which  caused  their  enactment  notwithstanding  the 
"blue  sky"  appearance  of  the  "emergency"  upon  which  they 
were  based,  and  which  again  has  brought  about  their  ex- 
tension. This  pressure  may  demand  their  retention  in  the 
statutes  as  the  price  of  votes  of  tenants  anxious  to  keep  the 
upper  hand  over  the  landlords.  A  bill  was  prepared  for 
consideration  by  the  Legislature  which  recently  adjourned 
exemptfng  from  the  emergency  laws  all  apartment  houses 
eight  or  more  stories  in  height.  No  action  was  taken  on 
this  measure,  although  the  reasonableness  of  such  exemp- 
tion is  found  in  the  generally-accepted  fact  that  whatever 
shortage  may  exist  in  moderate-priced  tenements  does  not 
exist  in  buildings  of  the  elevator-steel-construction  type. 
This  is  one  of  the  problems  realty  men  must  solve  and  on 
which  light  as  to  the  best  path  to  pursue  may  come  during 
the  building  season  now  under  way. 

Most  everything  that  cost  a  dollar  before  the  war  now 
costs  a  dollar  and  seventy  cents.  The  abnormally  high  cost 
of  practically  every  item  of  living  expense,  except  rent,  has 
been  left  to  natural  agencies  or  normally-exerted  govern- 
mental pressure  for  correction.  But  high  rentals,  due  to  the 
same  causes  which  brought  about  high  prices  in  all  the  other 
items  in  the  household  budget,  are  declared  to  be  the  fruit  of 
an  "emergency"  and  the  police  power  of  the  state  has  been 
invoked  to  curb  "profiteering"  landlords.  The  prices  of 
coal  and  milk,  hats  and  shoes,  eggs  and  butter,  freight  rates 
and  passenger  fares,  and  hundreds  of  other  things,  all  as 
necessary  as  housing,  sell  at  one  hundred  and  seventy  per 
cent,  of  their  pre-war  price.  But  nobody  calls  out  raucous- 
ly that  the  high  prices  of  these  things  is  due  to  an  "emer- 
gency." There  is  no  lobby  of  milk-drinkers  or  butter-eaters 
to  press  their  point  of  view  upon  sympathetic  legislators 
whose  ears  are  always  attuned  to  demands  of  tenants. 

It  is  an  imposition  to  call  a  condition  that  exists  in  hous- 
ing an  "emergency"  when  the  same  conditions  prevail  in 
practically  every  other  business  due  to  the  same  causes 
which  affected  the  housing  situation.  We  are  living  in  a 
170  per  cent,  world  as  compared  with  the  100  per  cent, 
world  of  pre-war  days,  and  it  is  going  to  take  more  than  a 
year  or  two,  perhaps  many,  many  years,  to  rid  the  world  of 
the  inflation  that  puts  us  on  the  higher  plane.  What  is 
needed  is  not  so  much  a  return  to  100  per  cent,  living  as 
stability  on  the  170  per  cent,  basis,  so  long  as  we  must  con- 
tinue, by  force  of  circumstances  almost  beyond  the  control 
of  man,  to  function  on  the  inflated  platform  to  which  the 
war  elevated  us. 


Brick  Market  Reflects  Building  Revival 

It  is  extremely  doubtful  if  anything  of  greater  signifi- 
cance could  have  occurred  as  indicative  of  the  strength  of 
the  local  building  situation  at  present  than  the  arrival  dur- 
ing the  week  of  sixty-five  barge  loads  of  common  brick 
from  up-river  production  points  and  their  immediate  sale 
to  satisfy  construction  requirements. 

Sixty-five  cargoes  of  common  brick  mean  that  approxi- 
mately 26,000,000  brick  were  brought  into  New  York  in 
a  single  week.     This  in  itself  shows  the  potential  activity 


390 


RECORD    AND     GUIDE 


April  1,  1922 


of  the  construction  industry  in  the  Metropolitan  territory, 
but  when  it  is  understood  that  practically  all  of  this  material 
is  scheduled  to  go  into  immediate  consumption  a  real  idea 
of  the  volume  of  active  building  is  obtained. 

There  never  was  a  period  in  local  construction  history 
when  such  a  large  amount  of  new  building  was  either  ac- 
tually under  way  or  projected  for  an  immediate  start.  Each 
day  I:)rings  reports  of  new  construction  projects,  commercial 
and  industrial  as  well  as  residential,  amounting  to  a  total 
cost  of  many  millions  of  dollars.  The  major  portion  of 
this  work  is  being  put  under  contract  without  delay, 

The  building  bureaus  in  the  various  boroughs  of  the  city 
are  literally  submerged  in  plans  for  new  operations,  and  the 
pressure  on  the  plan  clerks,  examiners  and  inspectors  has 
been  such  that  their  efficiency  is  materially  impaired.  These 
bureaus  are  far  behind  in  their  work  because  new  plans  are 
being  presented  faster  than  they  are  able  to  dispose  of  those 
on  hand  and  there  is  now  every  likelihood  that  this  condition 
will  continue  throtighout  the  spring  and  summer  unless 
the  City  administration  takes  steps  to  increase  the  forces 
available  for  this  work. 


In  point  of  volume  of  business  the  transactions  in  the 
New  York  wholesale  brick  market  during  the  past  week 
will  stand  out  as  a  record.  The  sale  of  sixty-five  barge 
loads  in  a  single  week  establishes  a  new  high  point  for  this 
industry.  Although  the  very  decided  increase  in  the  amount 
of  business  for  the  past  week  is  to  a  considerable  extent 
a  reaction  caused  by  the  shortage  of  common  brick  which 
existed  a  few  weeks  ago,  the  demand  of  the  past  few  days 
cannot  be  wholly  attributed  to  the  unsatisfied  requirements 
of  the  weeks  gone  by.  During  the  time  when  brick  was  an 
exceedingly  scarce  commodity  in  this  market  the  amount 
of  construction  actually  held  up  because  of  its  lack  was 
negligible.  Throughout  the  time  of  greatest  scarcity  prac- 
tically every  active  operation  in  this  city  was  kept  going, 
although  a  reduced  rate,  and  the  great  increase  in  the  de- 
mand for  common  lirick  that  now  is  a  noteworthy  charac- 
teristic of  the  building  situation  must  be  attributed  to  a 
steady  and  consistent  revival  of  interest  in  local  construction 
which  will  continue  to  improve  during  the  coming  weeks  and 
result  finally  in  establishing  a  new  high  building  record 
for  the  year  in  the  Metropolitan  district. 


Contracts  for  Vehicular  Tunnel  to  New  Jersey  Awarded 


CONTR.\CTS  for  driving  the  vehicular  tunnel  under  the 
Hudson 'River  and  for  sinking  the  shafts  on  the  New 
Jersey  side  were  awarded  on  last  Tuesday  to  Booth  & 
Flynn.  Ltd.,  for  $19,.«1,723.50.  Work  will  be  started  about  May 
1,  it  was  stated  at  the  office  of  the  New  York  and  New  Jersey 
Tunnel  Commission  and  it  is  expected  the  tunnel  will  be  ready 
for  use  within  thirty-six  months  as  stipulated  in  the  contract. 
Clififord  M.  Holland,  chief  engineer  of  the  commission,  in  his 
report  shows  that  the  comparative  actual  cost;  of  the  tunnel  is 
only  about  10  per  cent,  greater  than  of  the  tunnels  contracted 
for  in  1914  before  the  high  prices  which  attended  the  war 
period.     Mr.  Holland  says; — 


"In  detail,  the  average  bid  price  for  the  vehicular  tunnels 
for  cast-:-iron  lining  is  about  precisely  the  same  as  the  prices 
received  for  constructing  the  rapid  transit  tunnels.  Cast  iron 
in  the  case  of  the  vehicular  tunnels  will  be  about  27  per  cent, 
of  the  total  cost,  as  compared  with  30  per  cent,  in  the  case  of 
the  rapid  transit  tunnels. 

"The  estimated  cost  for  excavation  for  the  vehicular  tunnels 
is  about  44  per  cent,  of  the  total  cost  of  the  work,  as  compared 
with  50  per  cent,  in  the  case  of  the  rapid  transit  tunnels.  In 
this  connection  it  is  to  be  noted  that  the  average  unit  cost  for 
excavation  for  the  vehicular  tunnels  is  $21.30  per  cubic  yard  in 
1922.  as  compared  with  $20.40  per  cubic  yard  for  excavation  for 
the  rapid  transit  tunnels  in  1914,  or  almost  precisely  the  same." 


Tax  Exemption  Extended  One  Year  by  Board  of  Aldermen 


THE  first  of  the  housing  bills  was  signed  by  the  Governor 
this  week.  This  measure  extends  the  period  for  commenc- 
ing construction  of  dwelling  houses  to  obtain  exemption 
from  local  taxation  to  .^pril  1,  1923.  This  bill  was  scheduled  for 
a  hearing  with  the  other  housing  measures,  but  because  of  the 
necessity  of  enacting  it  into  law  before  April  1,  the  Governor 
signed  it  earlier  than  was  expected. 
As  soon  as  he  had  been  notified  of  the  signing  of  the  bill  by 


Governor  Miller  Acting  Mayor  Murray  Hulbert  sent  an  emer- 
gency message  to  the  Aldermen,  asking  them  to  pass  the  ordi- 
nance introduced  by  Majority  Leader  William  T.  Collins.  He 
pointed  out  that  the  present  tax  exemption  ordinance  expired 
at    midnight   last   Friday. 

The  ordinance  extending  the  exemption  period  was  passed  by 
the  Board  of  Aldermen  at  a  meeting  on  last  Tuesday.  Under 
this  ordinance  all  new  construction  commenced  before  April 
1,   1923,  will  be   exempt   from  taxation  until  Jan.   1,   1932. 


Governor  Announces  Hearing  at  Albany  on  Housing  Bills  April  10 


GOVERNOR  MILLER  has  announced  that  he  will  give  a 
hearing  on  the  Lockwood  housing  bills  at  noon  on 
April  10.  The  attendance  is  expected  to  be  very  large, 
and  it  may  be  necessary  to  stage  the  hearing  in  the  Sena'.e  or 
Assembly  chambers. 

Representatives  of  the  Real  Estate  Board  of  New  York  and 
of  numerous  other  organizations  are  planning  to  attend  the 
hearing.  One  of  the  bills  that  is  expected  to  call  forth  a  flood 
of  criticism  is  the  one  permitting  life  insurance  companies  to 


invest  up  to  ten  per  cent,  of  their  assets  in  building  apartments 
renting  for  not  more  than  nine  dollars  per  room,  basing  this 
rental  on  the  estimated  cost  at  the  beginning  of  construction 
work.  As  200  builders  have  asked  Governor  Miller  for  a  hear- 
ing on  this  bill  it  is  evident  there  is  widespread  interest  in  its 
provisions.  Some  of  the  other  housing  bills  are  also  likely  to 
be  made  the  object  of  attack  at  this  hearing,  which  promises 
to  be  one  of  the  largest  and  most  important  ever  held  at  the 
Capitol. 


Standard  Construction  Contract  Seems   Assured 


THROUGH  the  united  efforts  of  a  conference  held  in 
Washingtoji  recently,  the  standardization  of  construction 
contracts  seems  destined  to  be  finally  achieved.  Engi- 
neers, architects  and  contractors  appointed  by  engineering  and 
other  associated  construction  associations,  were  represented. 
and  a  plan  was  adopted  which  would  ultimately  produce  a 
standard  form  of  contract  agreement  which   could  be  adapted 


for  use  in  any  part  of  the  country  and  any  phase  of  the  industry. 
The  survey  made  by  Brigadier-General  R.  C.  Marshall,  Jr., 
Chief  of  Construction  Division  of  the  U.  S.  .A.rmy  during  the 
war,  showed  that  there  are  in  common  use  today  over  200 
different  forms  of  contracts.  A  study  of  these  200  contracts 
revealed  that  about  two-thirds  of  all  the  provisions  contained 
in  each  were  common  to  all,  and  could  very  easily  be  included 
in  one  standard  form.

REAL    ESTATE     SECTION 


Real  Estate  Board    Holds   Its   Second   Monthly  Dinner 

Largely  Attended  by  Members,  Who  Hear  Gen.  O'Ryan  Discuss  Transit  Problem  and 
Mr.  Allen's  Plans  for  Lower  Coal  Prices  in  New  York  Citv 


THE  second  monthly  meeting  and  dinner  of  the  Real 
Estate  Board  of  New  York  took  place  on  Thursday 
evening  of  last  week,  at  Delmonico's.  The  plan  to  hold 
a  monthly  dinner  was  an  innovation  that  came  in  with  the  first 
of  the  year.  There  was  no  such  dinner  in  February  because 
the  annual  banquet  of  the  Board  was  held  then,  at  the  Hotel 
Commodore.  At  the  second  monthly  dinner  the  attendance  was 
as  good,  if  not  better,  than  at  the  first  one.  Charles  G.  Ed- 
wards, President  of  the  Board,  was  toastmaster. 

A  feature  of  the  meeting  was  a  small  card  folder  laid  at  each 
plate  urging  every  member  to  combine  in  a  drive  for  increased 
membership  of  the  Board.  President  Edwards  also  einpha- 
sized  the  importance  of  increasing  the  membership.  He  said 
increased  membership  means  increased  power  for  good  in 
behalf  of  real  estate. 

Gen.  John  F.  O'Ryan,  a  member  of  the  new  Transit  Commis- 
sion, was  the  first  speaker  of  the  evening,  and  Charles  S. 
Allen,  Secretary  of  the  Anthracite  Coal  Consumers'  Associa- 
tion and  formerly  long  conectcd  with  the  Interstate  Commerce 
Commission  also  spoke. 

Gen.  O'Ryan  was  greeted  warmly  by  everyone  present  and 
at  the  conclusion  of  his  speech  the  diners  rose  spontaneously 
and  applauded  him.  The  General  spoke  in  a  straightforward, 
conversational  style,  but  his  calm  and  earnest  manner  impressed 
all  of  his  hearers.  He  analyzed  the  transit  situation  and  said  he 
presumed  there  was  nothing  of  more  interest  to  builders  and 
real  estate  men  than  how  to  get  property-owners  and  tenants 
from  one  part  of  the  city  to  another  comfortably,  quickly,  de- 
cently and   for  a   reasonable   fare. 

"I  have  no  personalities  to  indulge  in  pro  or  con,"  said  Gen. 
O'Ryan.  "Personalities  never  yet  settled  a  controversy  rightly 
or  justly  to  all  concerned.  Out  of  the  clamor  that  has  long 
raged  about  the  question  of  rapid  transit,  which  affects  not 
only  our  daily  comfort  but  our  social  system,  must  come 
action  along  lines  that  are  constructive  and  that  mean  perma- 
nent benefit.  Quarreling  means  inaction  and  delay.  Reasoning 
together  on  this  great  question,  co-operation  if  you  please,  is 
just  as  necessary  as  co-operation  was  between  the  heads  of  the 
allied  armies  during  the  World  War.  Where  would  the  peace 
be  if  the  Allies  had  not  united  under  a  supreme  leadership 
against  the  Central  Powers?  The  time  for  talk  ceased  long 
ago,  so  far  as  the  transit  situation  is  concerned.  That  is  why 
Governor  Miller  took  the  bull  by  the  horns  as  he  did. 

"For  some  time  now  the  Transit  Commission  has  been  dig- 
ging deep  into  this  municipal  problem.  It  does  not  expect 
immediate  approval  of  all  that  it  has  done  from  everyone  con- 
cerned. We  have  sought  earnestly  and  sincerely  to  settle  upon 
the  fundamentals  of  the  matter  and  we  are  going  to  adhere  to 
the  fundamentals  in  the  face  of  everything. 

"There  are  more  than  two  hundred  corporations  carrying  on 
the  transit  business  of  this  combined  municipality.  There  are 
more  than  two  thousand  franchises,  none  of  which  harmonizes 
with  the  others.  From  time  remote  these  franchises  were  the 
sport  and  prey  of  daring  speculators  and  financiers  who  were 
looking  for  the  biggest  profits  regardless  of  the  permanent 
stability  of  the  companies  that  held  them.  A  unification  of  the 
transit  routes  of  this  city  along  constructive  and  reasonably- 
profitable  lines  is  imperative.  This  we  will  have  at  all  hazards. 
I  do  not  say  that  the  city  should  operate  the  roads,  but  if 
necessarv  the  citv  will.     I  believe   that  better   service  can  be 


attained  by  private  operation  properly  controlled.  Some  of 
the  franchises  are  fair  and  some  are  unfair  both  to  the  com- 
panies and  to  the  city.  As  they  bore  little  or  no  relation  to 
each  other,  as  they  stood,  they  were  the  source  of  constant 
friction  to  all  parties  concerned,  including  the  public — in  the 
end  the  most  interested. 

"My  main  purpose  here  tonight  is  to  impress  upon  you, 
representatives  of  large  property  interests,  the  absolute  neces- 
sity of  some  common  understanding  on  the  subject  in  discus- 
sion, for  upon  it  depends  in  a  large  degree  the  progress  and 
growth  of  this  city  along  the  proper  lines  and  upon  it  depends 
its  continued  material  prosperity  and  its  municipal  supremacy. 

"Fundamentally  any  transit  system  is  wrong  that  allows 
speculative  gain  from  a  public  necessity  such  as  our  transit 
system  is.  We  have  for  some  time  witnessed  restricted  ser- 
vice for  no  other  reason  than  that  large  dividends  could  be 
secured.  The  people  must  use  the  various  lines  heavily  and 
therefore  they  must  have  a  commensurate  and  harmonious 
service.  The  companies  have  been  taking  advantage,  under 
the  law,  to  abridge  service.  The  result  has  been  warfare, 
intense  and  prolonged,  between  the  people  and  the  corpora- 
tions. Another  result  has  been  to  make  the  question  the  sport 
and  prey  of  petty  politics.  This  is  so  apparent  as  to  make  the 
statement  almost  academic. 

"The  companies  now  have  the  lawful  right  to  make  all  the 
financial  gain  possible  whether  the  public  is  benefited  or  not. 
Thereby  is  created  a  community  of  interests  that  are  irrecon- 
cilable and  always  will  be.  The  policy  of  the  companies  has 
long  been  one  of  transporting  the  greatest  number  of  passen- 
gers with  the  least  possible  number  of  cars.  That  is  a  fact 
which  cannot  be  honestly  gainsaid.  In  the  past  palliatives  were 
applied  to  relieve  the  irritation.  Instead  of  poultice  the  Tran- 
sit Commission  has  decided  to  use  the  knife  and  get  permanent 
relief  from  an  ailment  that  cannot  otherwise  be  cured  In 
other  words,  we  are  going  to  dispose  of  the  fundamental  prob- 
lem. We  will  remove  the  opportunity  to  make  unrestricted  gain, 
but  we  will  do  it  in  a  way  fair  to  all  concerned.  f 

"So  far  we  have  made  valuations  of  railroad  properties  in 
four  different  ways.  The  Commission  has  not  yet  formed  a 
final  and  definite  program.  Wc  will  make  haste  slowly  instead 
of  unjustly.  All  of  these  valuations  have  been  submitted  to  the 
experts  of  the  companies  involved.  We  just  now  are  in  the 
position  of  waiting  for  their  opinions  about  the  matter.  After 
all  interests  have  threshed  the  matter  out  with  the  Commission 
that  body  will  decide  fairly.  The  city  will  make  a  fair  valua- 
tion of  all  properties  and  I  will  say  that  when  that  is  done 
the  day  for  anything  but  nominal  dividends  from  the  transit 
earnings  in  this  city  will  be  over.  We  will  create  a  new  cor- 
poration for  the  exact  purpose  of  insuring  thorough  and  rea- 
sonably-profitable service,  a  quasi-public  corporation,  which 
will  carry  on  operation  and  yet  do  justice  as  between  owner 
and  passenger.  Such  a  system  will  do  away  with  both  the 
abuses  of  either  a  privately-operated  or  a  municipally-oper- 
ated system.  Unification  for  the  purposes  of  profit  and  service 
is  the  great  objective.  There  will  be  one  railroad  policy  in- 
stead of  two  hundred  separate  ones  as  now. 

"The  companies  will  transfer  their  rights  to  a  quasi-public 
corporation,  at  a  price,  say,  of  $50,000,000  entire.  And  it  will 
give  back  to  the  companies  a  purchase  money  mortgage  at  the

Notable    Changes    in    Down -Town    Business    Section 

New  Buildings,  Including  A.  B.  See  Elevator  Company's  Modern  Structure,  Improve 
Character  of  Vesey,  Barclay,  Church  and  Pai^k  Place  Neighborhood 


SOME  notable  structural  improvements  in  the  antiquated 
section  of  the  city  bounded  by  Fulton  Street,  Park  Place, 
West  Street  and  Broadway  call  attention  to  an  area  where 
important  business  is  still  carried  on  primarily  in  four-  and  five- 
story  mercantile  buildings  on  single  lots.  It  is  a  section  of  the 
city  with  an  individuality  peculiarly  its  own.  Some  of  the  old 
buildings  were  originally  private  residences  built  when  New 
York  was  young  and  changed  into  business  buildings  as  resi- 
dences became  numerous  north  of  Bleecker  Street.  Many  old 
families  each  own  a  few  parcels  in  the  downtown  section  re- 
ferred to.  Because  it  has  held  strong  as  a  business  center, 
operators  and  new  investors  have  bought  frequently  there  dur- 
ing the  last  few  years. 

Lots  in  some  of  the  streets  are  not  of  full  100-foot  depth.  On 
other  streets  they  are  full  depth  on  one  side  and  of  shallow 
depth  on  the  other.  To  a  degree,  this  has  been  a  bar  to  mod- 
ern construction.  Then,  too,  there  are  some  ancient  lease- 
holds, such  as  a  few  held  by  Trinity  Church  Corporation  on 
Fulton  Street,  a  few  by  Columbia  University  on  Park  Place, 
and  some  others  by  old  owners.  Leaseholds  are  not  a  great 
encouragement  to  modern  construction  on  a  large  scale  unless 
they  involve  a  strategic  trade  and  traffic  center.  In  some  cases, 
in  recent  years,  old  leaseholders  in  this  district  have  sold  the 
fee  to  the  owners  of  the  structure.  Trinity  has  done  some  of 
it. 

There  are  certain  vital  factors  that  have  determined  the  com- 
mercial strength  of  this  ancient  center.  The  New  York  and 
New  Jersey  tubes  are  on  the  fringe  of  it,  a  new  subway  route 
penetrates  it,  and  the  ferry  of  the  Lackawanna  Railroad,  at  the 
foot  of  Barclay  Street,  still  carries  heavy  passenger  and  ve- 
hicular traffic  between  New  York  and  Hoboken  in  spite  of 
the  fact  that  the  tubes  terminate  at  the  Lackawanna  Station 
in  Hoboken.  Besides  there  is  a  station  of  the  Seventh-Avenue 
subway  at  Park  Place. 

Because  of  its  direct  connection  with  the  Lackawanna  Ferry, 
Barclay  Street  is  probably  the  strongest  in  fee  values  of  any 
of  those  within  this  contracted  zone.  Vesey  Street  is  a  close 
second  in  most  of  its  parts,  while  the  Vesey-Street  block  op- 
posite St.  Paul's  Churchyard  has  superior  value  because  of  the 
permanent  light  afforded  thereby.  These  two  thoroughfares, 
more  than  the  others,  are  given  over  to  variegated  retail  trade. 
Seedsmen,  household  supplies  dealers,  haberdashers,  hardware 
merchants,  retail  grocers  and  various  other  lines  of  business 
that  cater  to  home-goers  in  New  Jersey  and  elsewhere  find  them 
t  worth-while  business  thoroughfares.  Scattered  here  and  there 
among  them  are  a  few  wholesale  merchants  in  divers  lines. 
Even  publishers  and  dealers  in  religious  books  and  church 
supplies  find  Barclay  Street  a  good  stand  for  their  lines. 
Vesey  Street  is  a  popular  direct  route  to  Washington  Market, 
where  many  commuters  on  various  railroads  go  frequently  to 
buy  everything  from  a  pound  of  butter  to  a  turkey.  It  is  a 
pedestrian  traffic  that  has  money  to  spend  which  goes  through 
these  streets  and  consequently  trade  value  maintains  good  fee 
values. 

Single  lots  with  an  old  building  in  that  section  are  worth 
from  $65,000  to  $75,000  each  on  Vesey  Street,  west  of  Church 
Street,  while  lots  on  the  Vesey-Street  block  opposite  the  St. 
Paul's  Churchyard  are  worth  from  sixty  to  one  hundred  per 
cent.  more.  The  Astors  own  some  of  the  parcels  on  the  lanei 
block,  with  abutting  connections  on  Barclay  Street.  Lots  on 
Barclay  Street,  west  of  Church  Street,  are  worth  as  much  as 
they  are  on  Vesey  Street,  and  a  little  more  between  the  same 
points,  while  Barclay-Street  lots  between  Church  Street  and 
Broadway  are  of  stronger  value,  but  not  so  strong  as  they 
are  in  Vesey  Street  between  the  same  thoroughfares.  The 
old  buildings  on  most  of  the  Vesey-Street  lots  are  not  figured 
in  the  value  of  the  property  to  any  extent.  The  fee  value  is  the 
primary  thing.    In  Barcley  Street  and  in  Park  Place  the  build- 


ings generally  are  better  than  in  Vesey  Street.  Most  of  them, 
however,  are  of  the   old-fashioned  loft  types. 

Marking  the  trend  of  change  in  things  downtown  is  the 
old  seven-story  office  building  on  the  southwest  corner  of 
Park  Place  and  Church  Street.  It  was  built  and  occupied  by 
the  Metropolitan  Life  Insurance  Company  as  its  headquarters, 
before  it  moved  to  Madison  Avenue  and  Twenty-third  Street. 
It  is  now  utilized  as  a  store  and  mercantile  office  building. 
One  of  the  most  modern  mercantile  buildings  in  all  the  down- 
town region  was  recently  completed  at  the  northeast  corner 
of  Park  Place  and  West  Broadway.  Known  as  the  Dodge 
building,  it  covers  the  plot  containing  an  easement  of  the 
subway  which  turns  under  this  corner  in  order  to  connect  with 
Seventh  Avenue.  This  is  an  instance  where  transit  improve- 
ment caused  structural  improvement.  The  New  York  Tele- 
phone Company  has  about  completed  the  purchase  of  the 
square  block  bounded  by  Vesey,  Barclay,  Washington  and 
West  Streets,  as  the  site  for  a  large  central  exchange  and  of- 
fice building.  This  will  be  an  improvement  so  large  as  to  ma- 
terially tone  up  the  adjacent  blocks  and  encourage  recon- 
struction nearby.  As  one  good  turn  deserves  another,  so  does 
one  distinctive  improvement  bring  another,  as  a  rule.  A  few 
years  ago  the  Underwood  Typewriter  Company  improved  the 
ancient  southeast  corner  of  Vesey  and  Greenwich  Streets  with 
a  large  mercantile  building,  which  has  added  fee  strength  to 
adjacent  holdings. 

The  latest  structural  change  of  note  was  the  reimprovement 
of  the  site  at  52-54  Vesey  Street,  between  Church  and  Green- 
wich Streets,  by  the  A.  B.  See  Electric  Elevator  Company,  with 
a  five-story  stone  building  for  its  own  use.  Here  is  a  salient 
example  of  what  can  be  done  with  a  medium-sized  plot  in  this 
district  along  modern  structural  lines.  It  emphasizes,  too,  the 
invasion  of  the  neighborhood  by  a  new  and  important  line  of 
business.  The  A.  B.  See  building  is  of  striking  design,  the 
facade  being  in  white  stone  and  having  just  enough  adorn- 
ment to  give  it  distinctiveness.  The  building  is  so  constructed 
as  to  receive  light  from  three  sides.  It  covers  a  plot  50.6  1/2 
X  101.6,  and  looms  prominently  amid  a  row  of  ancient  buildings. 
Mr.  See  bought  the  site  less  than  two  years  ago  from  the  estate 
of  William  Z.  Larned,  who  had  owned  it  for  many  years.  It 
formerly  held  two  5-story  loft  buildings  of  the  old  type.  The 
site  brought  more  than  $140,000. 

There  are  no  prospects  of  immediate  change  in  the  trade 
character  of  the  lower  parts  of  these  east-and-west  streets  ad- 
jacent to  the  river.  Wholesale  produce  and  poultry  merchants 
have  strongholds  there  and  they  occupy  mostly  old  buildings. 
There  will  not  be  any  marked  change  in  structural  character 
unless  a  fire  sweeps  the  district,  when  rebuilding  along  more 
substantial  lines  would  necessarily  follow.  Many  of  these  mer- 
chants own  the  buildings  they  occupy  and  others  occupy  under 
long  leases. 

Marked  instances  of  remodeling  of  old  medium-sized  build- 
ings are  those  at  the  southeast  corner  of  Greenwich  and  Fulton 
Streets  and  the  Old  Smith  &  McNeil's  Hotel  property  on  the 
west  side  of  Greenwich  Street,  between  Fulton  and  Vesey 
Streets.,  They  have  been  changed  from  their  original  uses  into 
mercantile  buildings.  West,  Greenwich,  Washington  and 
Church  Streets,  within  the  section  mentioned,  are  not  wit- 
nessing any  marked  structural  changes.  They  may  though, 
at  any  time.  The  real  estate  activity  that  for  three  years  past 
has  characterized  those  thoroughfares,  farther  south,  in  the 
Syrian  quarter,  may  by  some  unforeseen  factor  that  develops 
cause   a   transition    farther   north. 

The  rehabilitation  of  Washington  Market  a  few  years  ago 
by  the  city  had  much  to  do  with  holding  within  its  immediate 
radius  the  produce  merchants  who  have  long  focussed  there. 
A  modern  10-story  mercantile  building  occupies  the  northwest 
corner  of   Greenwich  and   Fulton   Streets.

Mr.  Edwards  for  Closer  Co-operation  in  Realty  Circles 

President  of  Real  Estate  Board  in  Y.  M.  C.  A.  Lecture  Course  Outlines  Necessity 
for  and  Benefits  of  Highly  Developed  Organization 


CHARLES  G.  EDWARDS,  President  of  the  Real  Estate 
Board  of  New  York,  was  the  lecturer  Tuesday  evening 
before  the  Real  Estate  Class  of  the  West  Side  Y.  M.  C. 
A.  His  subject,  "Why  Real  Estate  Interests  Should  Be  Highly 
Organized,"  aroused  the  keen  interest  of  all  present.  The 
speaker  was  introduced  by  William  R.  Willcox.  Mr.  Edwards 
said : 

"Organization  is  the  order  of  the  day.  Its  primary  purpose 
is  to  secure  properly  co-ordinated  action  of  persons  and  groups 
in  the  same  business,  profession,  industry  or  trade.  In  other 
words,  its  purpose  is  to  secure  co-operation,  for  the  attainment 
of  general  or  specific  benefits,  between  similar  and  related 
forms  of  human  activity.  It  is  probably  improssible,  in  these 
days  of  liighly  specialized  activities  of  one  form  or  another,  to 
point  to  an  important  channel  of  human  endeavor  in  which 
organization — that  is,  co-ordinated  action  through  properly 
articulated  machinery — is  not  fairly  well  established.  One  has 
only  to  think  of  a  few  of  these — shipping,  banking,  merchan- 
dise in  its  various  lines;  the  several  professions;  the  ranks  of 
labor — to  realize  that  organization  and  the  results  of  organiza- 
zation  are  absolutely  evident." 

Mr.  Edwards  called  attention  to  the  fact  that  while  organiza- 
tion and  co-operation  are  carried  to  the  point  of  perfection  in 
these  times,  it  is  a  mistake  to  think  this  is  a  product  of  today, 
or  even  of  comparatively  modern  times.  He  sketched  the  his- 
tory of  the  organization  among  various  skilled  trades  dating 
back  more  than  a  thousand  years  before  the  Christian  era,  or 
approximately  3,000  years,  and  declared  there  must  have  been 
some  form  of  organiaztion  because,  if  we  are  to  rely  on  the 
word  of  a  great  Egyptologist,  there  was  a  strike  among  the 
masons  who  were  engaged  in  building  the  pyramids  and  tem- 
ples during  the  reign  of  the  Pharoahs.  Unions  and  strikers  of 
those  remote  Egyptian  times  were  very  much  like  their  suc- 
cessors of  today,  said  Mr.  Edwards,  who  quoted  the  Egyptolo- 
gist as  reporting  a  news  item  of  that  day  in  the  following 
language  :  "On  the  tenth  day  of  the  month  builders  at  work 
on  the  temple  rushed  out  and  sat  down  behind  the  chapel  ex- 
claiming: 'We  are  hungry  and  there  are  yet  eighteen  days 
before  the  next   pay  day.'" 

"The  term  'Real  Estate  Interests'  as  you  know,"  continued 
Mr.  Edwards,  "embraces  a  wide  variety  of  relationships  and 
activities  related  in  one  way  or  another  to  the  primary  inter- 
est— namely,  ownership  in  land.  Real  estate  is  essentially 
land.  All  of  the  others  are  superimposed,  so  to  speak,  on  this 
base   or   foundation. 

"Think  of  all  the  lines  of  activity  that  radiate  from  this — 
the  ownership  of  landed  property.  There  is  the  land  itself 
whether  urban,  suburban  or  rural;  the  buyers  or  those  who 
comprise  the  market  for  land  or  other  real  property;  the  in- 
terests who  produce  the  structure,  that  is  the  contractor  and 
the  numerous  sub-contractors ;  the  lenders,  including  banks, 
insurance  and  trust  companies,  as  well  as  private  lenders; 
the  brokers  who  bring  buyer  and  seller  together  and  secure 
the  loan;  the  title  companies  who  search  the  title.  There  are 
occasions  where  the  interests  of  some  of  these  may  not  be 
identical.  But,  in  the  main,  they  run  along  identical  or  parallel 
lines.  In  New  York  City  the  value  of  real  estate  for  the  pur- 
pose of  taxation  has  reached  the  enormous  total  of  $10,249,991,- 
855.  Such  is  the  enormous  value  of  the  commodity  handled 
by  the  related  interests  I  have  mentioned. 

"Perhaps  it  might  be  well  in  passing  to  ask:  If  these  inter- 
ests are  not  highly  organized  why  are  they  not?  I  would 
answer  that  first  by  saying  that  they  are,  to  some  extent, 
highly  organized,  but  that  they  are  not  sufficiently  widely  or- 
ganized; that  is  to  say,  organization  represents  almost  all  of 
the  interests  concerned,  but  not  in  sufficient  numbers  really 
to  represent  complete,  or  even  adequate  organization.  I  think 
that    is    largely    because,    unlike    banking    or    merchandising    or 


numerous  other  industries  which  represent  definite  and  ex- 
actly similar  interests,  real  estate  interests  represent  a  very 
great  variety  of  different,  though  closely  related  groups,  and 
far  greater  effort  is  needed  to  secure  that  cohesion  which  is 
much  more  easily  attained  in  the  others.  I  think  also,  that  in 
a  city  as  large  as  New  York  it  is  much  more  difficult  to  get 
these  groups  together  than  it  would  be  in  a  smaller  community. 
Outside  of  the  realm  of  sensationalism  you  have  to  make  a  very 
loud  noise  to  be  heard  in  the  hub-bub  of  six  millions  of  people, 
more  or  less  concerned  with  their  own  immediate  daily  affairs. 
"Now  what  are  the  specific  reasons  why  this  vast  business — 
the  business  of  real  estate  and  its  related  interests — should  be 
well  organized? 

"FIRST  :  There  is  the  subject  of  taxation.  It  has  been  well  said  that 
■the  power  to  tax  is  the  power  to  destroy.'  The  line  of  demarcation  be- 
tween taxing  and  confiscation  seems  to  be  none  too  clearly  defined.  Be 
that  is  it  may.  it  is  within  the  power  of  the  Federal  Goveniment  to  tax 
and,  as  you  know,  it  certainly  does  tax.  Under  existing  law,  and  com- 
parative recent  origin,  it  indirectly  taxes  real  estate.  The  State  Govern- 
ment taxes  with  a  free  hand.  The  City  Govornment  under  state  law  taxes 
even  more  freely,  and  the  great  burden  of  the  taxation  falls  upon  real 
estate.  In  New  York  City  real  estate  pays  approximately  00  per  cent, 
of  the  taxes  levied  and  New  York  City  pays  approximately  70  to  75  per 
cent,  of  the  cost  of  conducting  the  state  government.  Not  so  long  ago 
Governor  Miller  made  the  statement  that  real  property  is  paying  30  per 
cent,  of  its  gross  income  in  taxes.  'That  situation,'  said  the  Governor,  Ms 
discouraging  land  owning  and  aggravalimg  the  rent  and  housing  problem 
in   our   congested   centers.* 

"It  is  plain  that  here  is  a  wide  field  for  onganization  and  co-operation 
in   reducing  this  great  tax  burden. 

"SECOND  :  There  is  the  question  of  legislation  at  Albany,  aside  from 
that  which  bears  directly  on  the  subject  of  taxation.  Year  by  year,  the 
Legislature  shows  an  increasing  tendency  to  interfere  with  local  matters 
and  to  pass  legislation  imposing  one  burden  or  another  on  this  city.  It 
all  costs  money  and  most  of  the  resultant  burden  falls  on  real  estate. 
There  is  apparently  no  limit  to  the  things  which  the  Legislature  can  do 
to  us — in  spite  of  constitutional  inhibitions,  and  this  city  is  a  shining 
target.  i   "»IW|»J 

"There  are  illustrations  by  the  hundreds.  A  few  will  suffice.  About 
twenty  years  ago  the  Tenement  House  Law  was  enacted.  Its  underlying 
purpose  was  excellent.  Reform  was  highly  necessary.  But  there  can 
be  no  question  of  the  fact  that,  due  in  part  to  the  unnecessarily  rigid 
requirements  of  some  of  the  provisions  of  the  law,  owners  of  multi-family 
housing  have  been  unnecessarily  annoyed  and  have  had  to  pay,  in  order 
to  comply  with  the  law,  hundreds  of  dollars  in  excess  of  what  was  actually 
necessary.  The  rigidity  of  its  requirements  in  respect  of  new  housing 
has  helped  to  make  it  impossible  to  build  moderate  priced  tenements  In 
this  city.  I    T  ^irj 

"The  Labor  law  illustrates  the  same  point — a  law  good  in  principle — 
but  so  bound  up  with  unnecessary  and  expensive  detail  that  owners  of 
mercantile  and  factory  buildings  laave  spent  literally  millions  of  dollars 
in  complying  with  orders,  the  object  of  which  could  have  been  attained 
at  much  less  cost. 

"Rent  Legislation  is  another  illustration  There  can  be  no  question 
that  the  extremely  complex  housing  situation  needed  a  remedy  two  or 
three  years  ago.  But  there  is  grave  question  in  the  minds  of  thoughtful 
persons  whether  the  good  of  the  whole  community  could  not  have  been 
better  attained  by  less  radical  legislation  and  by  a  procedure  which  would 
have  made  some  distinction  between  fair  dealing  landlords  and  the  un- 
scrupulous ones,  the  latter  mostly  newcomers  in  the  field.  The  latter 
have  perhaps  got  what  they  deserved  :  but  prejudice  in  and  out  of  the 
locni  courts  has  run  high  and  caused  much  injustice  to  many  landlords, 
subjected  tbroutrh  the  law  to  the  ambitions  of  municipal  court  justices 
or  tc  the  prejudiced  view  of  tenant  juries. 

"Then  there  is  the  purely  local  situation — the  activities  of  the  Board 
of  Estimate  and  the  Poard  of  Aldermen.  The  budget  of  the  City  of  New 
York  for  in22  is  .'Pr!iin,f)01..'i70.n7.  This  lavish  expenditure  compares  with  a 
b'ldeet  of  .tlfi.l  1"S  270.  nn  increase  of  about  110  per  cent.,  since  1010.  The 
tav  r^tr-  w'as  1.7.5  in  1010.  This  year  it  ranges  between  2.7.5  and  2.70. 
*rd  this  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  about  three  and  a  quarter  billions  of 
rioii!<rs  has  been  add°d  to  the  assessed  valuations  of  the  city.  Is  it  not 
plain  that  here  is  a  field  for  concerted  action? 

"The  B"ard  nf  Aldermen  must  not  he  overlooked.  It  has  a  marvelous 
cnpacitv  for  thinking  up  ordinances  which,  almost  overnight,  can  create 
tmnecessary   expense   for  the  taxpayer. 

"It  would  be  rather  too  much  to  expect  that  I  should  discuss 
the  subject  before  you  without  drawing  to  some  extent  on  my 
own  personal  experience  as  to  the  point  of  organization  which 
these  interests  have  reached  in  the  City  of  New  York.  For 
this  purpose  I  must  speak  briefly  of  real  estate  boards  in 
.general  and  the  Real  Estate  Board  of  New  York  in  particular. 
I  think  the  organization  of  real  estate  boards  began  first  in 
Chicago  about  30  years  ago.  The  next  board  to  be  organized 
was  that  of  the  Real  Estate  Board  of  New  York,  26  years  ago. 
.Since  then  this  process  has  increased  and  today  there  are  per- 
haps five  hundred  such  boards  throughout  the  country.  Most 
of  the  older  boards  were  organized  as  brokers'  boards.  More 
recently  it  has  come  to  be  realized  that  this  form  of  organiza-

Review  of  Real  Estate  Market  for  the   Current  Week 

Large  Transactions  Dotted  a  Market  That  Was  Well  Sustained  by  Varied  Dealing 

in  All  Parts  of  the  Citv 


THERE  was  a  tendency  for  the  market  to  slacken  its  ac- 
tivity some,  this  week,  in  large  transactions,  while  medium 
sized  sales  were  fairly  numerous.  Frederick  Brown, 
whose  presence  in  the  market  for  some  weeks  has  not  been 
conspicuous,  stepped  forth  with  a  good  transaction  to  his 
credit.  There  were  some  notable  transactions  in  good  sized 
corner  properties,  principally  in  the  upper  reaches  of  town. 
In  the  section  of  Broadway,  just  south  of  Harlem,  there  was 
a  deal  amounting  to  more  than  $1,000,000.  Numerous  sites  for 
large  new  apartment  houses  were  assembled  in  Yorkville,  Har- 
lem and  on  Washington  Heights.  There  was  a  single  parcel 
sold  in  the  Pennsylvania  zone.  The  lower  West  side  contrib- 
uted the  sale  of  numerous  dwellings — some  close  to  Fifth 
avenue — a  7-story  elevator  apartmept  house  and  some  other 
buildings  of  varied  character.  The  neighborhood  of  Wash- 
ington Square  loomed  prominent.  Downtown,  the  sale  of  a 
Water  street  corner,  south  of  Brooklyn  Bridge,  emphasized 
the  fact  that  the  region  roundabout  is  still  in  the  throes  of  an 
activity  that  has  prevailed  there,  more  or  less,  all  winter.     In 


Clinton  street  there  was  the  transfer  of  a  fee  for  the  first  time 
since  early  in  the  eighteenth  century,  the  Joan  Gardner  estate 
having  held  the  parcel  all  that  time. 

Elevator  apartment  houses  in  upper  Manhattan  and  elevator 
and  walk-up  apartment  houses  in  the  Bron.x  added  briskness 
to  the  market.  Throughout  First,  Second  and  Third  avenues, 
in  the  Yorkville  and  Harlem  sections,  there  was  some  good 
dealing,  notably  the  northeast  corner  of  Third  avenue  and 
105th  street.  The  Pinckney  estate  sold  a  plot  and  a  block 
fronting  on  West  12Sth  street.  A  dwelling  remodeled  for  trade, 
on  Fifth  Avenue,  north  of  Mount  Morris  Park,  changed  hands. 
The  sale  of  many  fine  dwellings  added  considerably  to  the 
total  business  of  the  week. 

Brooklyn  came  forward,  this  week,  with  many  sales  of 
dwellings  and  two-family  houses  and  a  large  warehouse  prop- 
erty fronting  on  two  streets,  near  Wallabout  Market.  Some 
good  commercial  leases  were  effected  in  Brooklyn,  also.  In 
Queens  there  is  a  good  demand  for  detached  houses  and  plots 
for  improvement  by  private  investors. 


PRIVATE  REALTY  SALES. 


THE  total  number  of  sales  reported  but  not 
recorded  in  Manhattan  this  week,  was  GO 
as  against  77   last  week  and  87   a   year  ago. 

The  number  of  sales  south  of  .lUth  st  was  li* 
as  compared  with  '2H  last  week  and  21  a  year 
ago. 

The  number  of  sales  north  of  59th  st  was  41 
as  compared  with  4U  last  week  and  G6  a  year 
ago. 

From  the  Bronx  2;^  sales  at  private  contract 
were  reported,  as  against  21  last  week  and  2G 
a  year  ago. 

Statistical  tables,  including  the  number  of  re- 
corded  instruments,    will    be   found   on   page  402. 


$2,500  for  Death  Due  to  Cold  Flat 

George  H.  Jackson,  owner  of  an  apartment 
house  at  '2'AO  President  st,  Brooklyn,  will  have 
to  pay  $2,r)iH)  damages  to  James  F.  D.  Coche- 
nour  for  the  death  of  his  son.  William,  four 
months'  old.  A  jury  before  Justice  Cropsey  in 
the  Supreme  Court  made  this  award  in  a  suit 
in  which  Cnchenour  testified  the  death  of  his 
son  was  due  to  the  lack  of  heat  in  the  house 
last  January.  He  testified  that  an  investiga- 
tion disclosed  that  there  was  no  coal  in  the 
cellar  and  that  the  janitor  told  him  the  furnace 
was  out  of  commission  and  could  not  be  used 
until  after  repairs  had  been   made. 

This  is  believed  to  be  the  first  verdict  of  its 
kind  in  American  jurisprudence.  It  was  based 
on  the  new  rent  laws  which  make  it  mandatory 
for  a    landlord  to  furnish   heat  to  his  tenants. 


Walter    S.    Flint    Dead 

Walter  S.  Flint,  assistant  to  the  solicitor  of 
the  New  York  Title  and  Mortgage  Company, 
died  suddenly  Sunday,  of  acute  indigestion,  in 
his  home  at  Little  Falls,  N.  J.  Mr.  Flint  was 
born  in  Potsdam.  N.  Y.,  in  ISGl.  He  graduated 
from  the  law  department  of  the  University  of 
Michigan  in  1.S07.  He  had  been  with  the  New 
York  Title  and  Mortgage  Company  since  1005. 

He  lived  at  Little  F'alls  for  LS  years,  and  at 
the  time  of  his  death  was  recorder  of  the  town- 
ship and  trustee  of  the  public  library.  He  is 
survived'  by   a   widow   and   two  rhildren. 

Funeral  services  were  held  at  Mr.  Flint's  late 
residence  on  Wednesday  evening. 


Hoyt  Estate  to   Be  Sold  at  Auction 

The  late  Henry  R.  Hoyt,  a  membi'r  of  the 
law  firm  of  Daly,  Hoyt  and  Mason,  and  a  direc- 
tor of  several  large  banks  and  industrial  cor- 
porations, foresaw  the  future  development  of 
the  Bronx  and  long  before  the  advent  of  rapid 
transit  made  largo  investments  in  vacant  land 
located  along  the  line  of  the  prominent  high- 
ways of  old,  as  wpII  as  the  streets  and  avenues 
laid  out  on  the  city  maps  and  that  promised 
to  become  the  prominent  and  busy  thorough- 
fares of  the  future. 

Mr.  Hoyt  died  in  January.  1021,  before  the 
start  of  the  present  big  building  movement  in 
the  Bronx  which  has  almost  completely  trans- 
formed the  old-esf;ihlishcd  village  of  Eastches- 
ter  in  the  viclnitv  of  Eastch  ester  Road  and 
Oiin  flill  Road.  Here  the  close  proximitv  of 
the  Gun  Hill  Ro^d  station  on  the  N^w  York. 
Westch.^*;ter  and  Bnston  R.  R.  has  been  a  big 
factor  in  stimulating  the  development  of  the 
sec  inn. 

The    opening    up    of    the    Burke    and    Watson 


estates  to  improvement  by  home  builders  under 
a  law  that  provides  for  a  substantial  saving 
up  to  April,  10:;2.  has  been  the  true  cause  of 
the  kaleidoscopic  changes  that  have  taken  place 
in  thi.^.  st'Ctioii  of  the  East  Bronx,  and  only  the 
beginning  of  which  the  late  Mr.  Hoyt  lived  to 
see.  Enough,  however,  to  confirm  his  judg- 
ment in  having  purchased  many  years  before. 
at  a  time  when  the  vicinage  of  Eastchester 
Road  and  Gun  Hill  Road  boasted  only  natural 
advantages,  but  was  most  sparsely  settled  and 
remote. 

On  July  l;>,  1020,  when  Joseph  P.  Day  sold 
the  1,4!12  lots  located  directly  opposite  to  the 
Hoyt  Estate  property,  and  owned  by  the  East- 
chester Syndicate,  the  Eastchester  district  was 
almost  devoid  of  bouses.  This  condition  re- 
mained practically  unchanged  when  in  Septem- 
ber, 1020,  Mr.  Day  sold  033  lots  located  nearby 
for  the  Watson  Estate.  Today,  the  Eastches- 
ter Syndicate  property  is  the  location  of  more 
than  200  one  and  two-family  dwellings,  apart- 
ment houses  and  business  buildings  ;  more  than 
511  houses  have  been  erected  on  the  one-time 
Watson  Estate  tract,  and  "Ye  Olde"  Village  at 
Eastchester  has  developed  into  one  of  the  most 
promising  and  progressive  home-building  dis- 
tricts  in   the    Bronx. 

The  Hoyt  Estate,  consisting  of  775  lots  front- 
ing in  many  important  thoroughfares,  such  as 
Eastchester  Road,  Gun  Hill  Road,  Allerton  av, 
Arnow  av,  Adee  a  v.  Bartow,  Hammersley  and 
other  avenue'^,  is  the  next  large  estate  in  East- 
chester to  go  "under  the  hammer"  of  the  auc- 
tioneer. 

The  sale  will  be  held  by  Mr.  Day,  by  order 
of  John  Sherman  Hoyt.  executor,  and  will  be 
absolu'e.  Th''  terras  on  which  the  lots  are  to 
be  sold  are  unusually  liberal.  It  will  be  held 
on  Thursday,  April  6th,  at  noon,  in  the  Ex- 
change  salesroom,    14   Vesey   st. 


Operators    Buy    a   Downtown    Corner 

E.  A.  Roos  sold  through  the  Charles  F.  Noyes 
Co.  to  Norman  S.  Riesenfeld  and  Joseph  F.  A. 
O'Donnell  2S1-2S3  Water  st  and  15-17  Dover  st. 
northeast  corner  of  the  two  streets,  a  7-sty 
brick  loft  building,  on  a  plot  28.5x70x34.1x73.3. 
The  property  is  leased  to  the  American  Kitchen 
Products  Co.  until  May  1,  1023.  Negotiations 
for  a  resale,  for  future  occupancy,  are  pending. 

In  addition  to  the  normal  income  of  the  prop- 
erty additional  revenue  is  derived  from  the  ad- 
vertising advantages  of  the  roof,  which  is  on 
the  level  with  the  Brooklyn  Bridge  structure  and 
within  25  feet  of  the  bridge  level.  The  seller 
purchased  the  property  through  the  Noyes  Co. 
about  15  years  ago. 

Sale   in   the   Penn   Zone 

H.  M.  Weill  Co.  sold  for  Edwin  Trowbridge 
and  the  Farmers  Loan  &  Trust  Co.  254  West 
31st  at,  a  4-sty  brick  business  building,  on  a  lot 
25xO.S.O.  It  is  opposite  the  side  of  the  Penn-

FOR  THE  GREATER  CONVENIENCE 

OF    OUR    CUSTOMERS    WE    HAVE 

JUST  ORGANIZED  A 

Water  Heating  and  House  Heating  Division 

AT  No.  130  EAST  FIFTEENTH  STREET 

TELEPHONE  STUYVESANT  4900 

HERE  will  be  experts  who  will  give  prompt  attention  to  those  who 
are  considering  the  use  of  Gas  either  for  Heating  Water  or  the 
Heating  of  a  House,  Apartment,  Loft  or  Large  Building. 

Architects  and  Builders,  with  advantage  to  themselves  and  their 
clients,  should  ask  for  the  services  of  one  of  our  highly  qualified 
Experts.      His    services    are    gratis. 

As  to  Gas  Water  Heating:  There  are  Gas  Water  Heaters 
for  use  in  the  Home,  Ofhce  or  Factory.  Then  again  we  install  a 
Gas  Water  Heating  System  that  will  furnish  a  large  building  with 
an  instantaneous,  uninterrupted.  Summer  or  all-year-round  supply  of 
hot  water. 

Many  private  houses  are  using  this  System,  as  well  as  many  large 
buildings.  One  of  the  latter  requires  nearly  40,000  gallons  of  hot 
water  every  week.  Another  large  building  requires  nearly  6,000 
gallons    a    day,    every    drop    of    which    is    Gas    heated. 

After  the  Gas  Boiler  is  installed  it  requires  no  attention.  The  Boiler 
regulates  itself  automatically. 

Every  person  interested  in  a  newly  constructed  building,  or  one 
under  construction  or  contemplated,  or  in  a  building  being  or  about 
to  be  remodeled,  should  consider  the  advantages  of  Gas  Water 
Heating.

BUILDING     SECTION 


Building  Tie-Up  Predicted  Unless  Wage  Scales  Are  Revised 


Public  Group  Couiniittee  Makes  No  Pi 
Employers  and  Unions  Because 

PRACTICALLY  no  progress  was  made  this  week  toward 
settling  the  wage  scale  controversy  between  the  employ- 
ers and  the  union  workers  in  the  building  trades.  The 
Public  Group  Committee,  of  which  Walter  Stabler,  Comp- 
troller of  the  Metropolitan  Life  Insurance  Company,  is  chair- 
man, held  its  scheduled  meeting  in  the  Metropolitan  Tower  on 
Tuesday  afternoon,  at  which  representatives  of  the  Building 
Trades  Employers'  Association  were  present.  The  Building 
Trades'  Council  was  not  represented,  nor  were  there  present 
any  officials  from  those  unions  which  are  not  affiliated  with 
the  Council.  The  Buildmg  Trades'  Council,  however,  held  a 
meeting  and  decided,  after  a  discussion  lasting  nearly  four 
hours,  to  adhere  to  the  previous  decision  not  to  participate 
under  the  conditions  laid  down. 

When  the  meeting  of  the  Public  Group  representatives  and 
the  employers  convened,  Mr.  Stabler  had  in  hand  a  letter 
from  the  Building  Trades'  Council,  informing  him  that  the  re- 
fusal of  the  Lockwood  Committee  to  join  the  conference  be- 
cause of  aspersions  cast  upon  it  by  the  employers  was  suffi- 
cient to  prevent  the  union  oificials  from  participating  in  the 
couierence.  The  letter  from  the  Council,  however,  offered  to 
meet  the  employers  directly,  excluding  the  public,  as  had  been 
the  custom  in  former  years.  This  letter,  after  requesting  the 
Public  Group  Committee  to  determine  whether  or  not  the  em- 
ployers will  meet  tlic  Council,  said  there  had  never  been  any 
substantial  reason  why  the  unions  and  the  employers  should 
.not  conduct  their  own  affairs. 

"If  your  committee  will  but  for  a  moment  consider  the  dis- 
closures made  by  the  Lockwood  Committee,"  the  letter  con- 
tinued, "showing  the  extent  to  which  the  skilled  and  unskilled 
labor  represented  by  the  unions  in  our  council  have  been  ex- 
ploited by  the  employers  and  the  exorbitant  profits  that  the 
public  has  been  made  to  pay  over  and  above  the  wage  received 
by  the  members  of  the  unions.  I  think  you  will  agree  with  us 
that  there  is  a  fundamental  infirmity  in  the  argument  of  the 
association  that  there  shall  be  wage  reductions  that  do  not 
inure  to  the  benefit  either  of  the  builders  or  contractors  or 
of  the  public  and  that  go  directly  into  the  pockets  of  the 
employers  to  add  to  the  e.xorbitant  profits  they  have  already 
been  taking  out  of  labor." 

C.  G.  Norman,  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Governors  of  the 
Building  Trades  Employers'  Association,  stated  at  the  meeting 
on  Tuesday  afternoon  that  the  present  attitude  of  the  unions 
toward  wage-scale  revisions  w'as  not  constructive  and  in  all 
li'  elihood  would  be  responsible  for  a  large  percentage  of  un- 
employment in  the  trades  within  the  coming  year.  He  declared 
that  in  his  opinion  the  war-time  scales  of  wages  could  not 
now  be  maintained  if  the  building  industry  is  to  progress  and 
prosper  as  it  should  and  he  further  made  it  plain  that  there 
would  be  no  admission  of  lawyers  to  the  active  negotiations 
on  wage-scale  revisions,  because  the  employers  know  their 
business  and  do  not  require  legal  advice  in  this  particular 
matter. 

"Unless  labor  in  the  building  trades  accepts  an  early  wage 
rediictiton,"  said  Mr.  Norman,  "and  takes  steps  to  make  a  new 
agreement  with  the  employers,  work  on  a  large  number  of 
extensive    commercial    building    projects    will    be    curtailed." 

Mr.  Norman  thereupon  asked  the  Public  Group  Committee 
to  ratify  the  statement  of  principles  submitted  to  it  by  the 
employers  and  also  to  take  up  for  consideration  at  the  next 
meeting  a   wage  schedule  prepared   by   the  employers.     If  the 


Ogress  Toward  Settling  Dispute  Between 
Council  Failed  to  Attend  Meeting 

Public  Group  Committee  approves  of  these  principles,  which 
are  known  as  "the  fourteen  points,"  and  also  of  the  new  wage 
schedule,  Mr.  Norman  said  the  matter  would  be  submitted  to 
the  Board  of  Governors  of  the  Building  Trades  Employers' 
Association,  after  which  the  wages  would  be  proclaimed  as  ex- 
isting in  this  city. 

In  the  meantime  the  employers  propose  to  continue  paying 
the  present  wages  until  the  Board  of  Governors  takes  further 
action  at  its  next  meeting.  The  organized  employers  are 
determined  that  tliey  will  not  discuss  the  matter  of  wage-scale 
revisions  with  the  Building  Trades'  Council  as  a  body.  The 
only  manner  in  which  the  employers  and  labor  representatives 
can  come  together  for  a  discussion  will  be  a  meeting  of  the 
chosen  representatives  of  all  unions  affiliated  with  the  building 
industry,  irrespective  of  their  connection  with  the  Building 
Trades'  Council.  The  matter  of  wage  readjustment  affects  all 
unions,  some  of  which  are  not  affiliated  with  the  Council,  and 
in  order  to  include  these  and  at  the  same  time  get  prompt  ac- 
tion and  settlement,  the  Employers'  Association  has  taken  a 
determined  stand. 

Robert  D.  Kohn,  secretary  of  the  Public  Group  Committee, 
resented  the  intimation  of  the  union  officials  in  their  com- 
munication that  the  Lockwood  Committee  more  particularly 
represented   the   public   interest. 

"The  Council  cannot  tell  us  that  we  do  not  represent  the 
public  interest,"  said  Mr.  Kohn,  "as  twenty-five  civic  organiza- 
tions are  represented  in  this  committee  and  we  have  a  perfect 
right  to  interest  ourselves  in  this  situation  and  to  represent 
the  public." 

Just  prior  to  the  conclusion  of  the  meeting  the  Public  Group 
Committee  derided  to  call  a  meeting  of  the  entire  public  group 
in  order  to  consider  the  fourteen  principles  as  submitted,  by 
the  employers,  a  copy  of  which  will  be  sent  by  the  commit- 
tee to  the  unions.  The  employers  will  also  forward  their  pro- 
posed new  wage  scale  to  the  committee,  in  the  meantime  con- 
tinuing until  April  19  the  prevailing  schedule.  No  date  was 
set  for  future  meetings,  but  it  was  quite  evident  that  another 
strong  effort  will  be  made  to  induce  the  union  representatives 
to  be  present  when  the  committee  again  meets. 

Those  best  informed  on  building  conditions  in  this  city  ana 
who  are  hoping  for  an  early  settlement  of  the  wage  scale 
revision  dispute  feel  that  there  is  absolutely  no  foundation  for 
labor's  attitude.  They  all  feel  that  the  Public  Group  Coin- 
mittee  is  thoroughly  representative  of  the  public  interest  in 
construction,  as  the  personnel  of  the  committee  was  the  result 
of  invitations  sent  to  the  following  organizations  :  New  York 
Chapter,  American  Institute  of  .Architects;  New  York  Society 
of  Architects;  Brooklyn  Chapter,  American  Institute  of  Archi- 
tects; Federal  Reserve  Bank;  Bankers  Trust  Company;  Title 
Guarantee  and  Trust  Company.;  New  York  Trust  Company: 
Greenwich  Savings  Bank;  Union  Dime  Savings  Bank;  Metro- 
politan Life  Insurance  Company;  State  Savings  Bank  Associa- 
tion; Chamber  of  Conunerce  of  the  State  of  New  York;  The 
Merchants'  Association  of  New  York;  Guaranty  Trust  Com- 
pany; New  York  Board  of  Title  Underwriters;  Real  Estate 
13oai'd  of  New  York;  City  Club;  Brooklyn  Chamber  of  Com- 
•.nerce;  Chamber  of  Commerce  of  the  Borough  of  Queens,  and 
Bank  for  Savings. 

It  is  before  a  committee  selected  from  this  list  that  the  labor 
interests  arc  objecting  to  appear  unless  the  Lockwood  Com- 
mittee and  Samuel  Untermyer  are  represented.

tion,  perhaps  essential  at  first  was  faulty,  for  the  reason  that 
it  left  out  of  the  count  aJl  these  various  interests  that  I  have 
referred  to  in  the  earlier  part  of  this  discourse. 

"In  1913,  the  Real  Estate  Board  of  New  York  abandoned  its 
original  plan  of  confining  its  membership  to  real  estate  brok- 
ers and  admitted  to  membership  other  people  interested  in 
real  estate.  Thus  its  membership  today  is  inclusive  of  prac- 
tically all  these  interests,  besides  brokers,  appraisers,  auction- 
eers and  mortgage  brokers.  It  is  inclusive  of  owners,  builders, 
contractors,  architects,  lawyers,  engineers,  bankers  and  brokers, 
insurance  companies,  title  companies  or  their  representatives, 
department  stores,  manufacturers,  hotel  owners  and  many  other 
interests;  and  these  combined  outnumber  the  brokers  more 
than  two  to  one. 

"There  can  be  no  question  that  this  form  of  organization,  in 
which  all  the  elements  of  the  business  are  combined,  is  the 
best  form.  For,  when  all  is  said  and  done  the  interests  of  all 
are  the  same.  E.xcept  in  minor  instances  there  are  few  forms 
of  public  legislation  or  public  expenditure  which  do  not  touch 
them  all  to  some  e-xtent.  Where  there  is  divergence,  the  con- 
sideration given  to  these  public  questions  tends  to  a  sane  and 
reasonable  attitude,  to  the  fair  balancing  of  interests  and  to 
healthy  compromise  and  adjustments. 

"This  form  of  organization  ensures  the  collecting  of  data,  in 
one  place,  for  proper  and  expert  consideration.  It  means  the 
concentration  of  effort.  It  brings  unified  action  for  the  com- 
mon good.  Such  organization  in  brief  comprises  a  board  of 
governors  and  directors  selected  by  the  members  from  all  of 
the  classes  of  membership;  a  president  and  other  officers;  an 
executive  comm'ittee  and  numerous  standing  and  special  com- 
mittees charged  with  specific  duties  in  the  interests  of  each 
group  but,  on  the  whole,  working  for  the  combined  good  of 
the  whole  membership.  There  is  no  special  interest  to  serve; 
no  political  bias. 

"It  is  not  always  possible  to  counteract  official  bias  or  bad 
judgment,  or  to  counteract  public  sentiment  when  this  con- 
flicts with  the  best  economic  procedure.  But  is  it  not  a  fair 
question :      If   the   budget    is   increasing   alarmingly,   and   if   in

some  other  respects  governmental  or  legislative  lapses  cause 
us  to  worry,  how  much  worse  might  these  not  be  were  it  not 
for  the  efforts  of  the  organization  whose  workings  I  have  brief- 
ly described? 

"Organization  of  local  real  estate  boards  in  large  and  small 
communities  is  not  all.  Many  states  have  state  organizations 
of  local  boards.  Finally  there  is  national  organization.  The 
National  Association  of  Real  Estate  Boards  now  comprises 
more  than  400  boards  throughout  the  United  States  and  Can- 
ada. It  represents  a  total  membership  of  about  16,000.  At  its 
last  convention,  held  in  Chicago  in  June  last,  this  great  mem- 
bership was  represented  by  a  delegation  of  4,300  from  all 
parts  of  this  country  and  Canada.  I  have  no  doubt  that  an 
equal  or  greater  number  will  be  present  at  the  next  convention 
to  be  held  in  San  Francisco  from  May  31  to  June  3. 

"A  great  deal  more  could  be  said  on  this  subject.  I  have 
merely  tried  tcf  outline  the  main  reasons  why  real  estate  is 
already  organized  and  why  it  should  be  still  more  highly  or- 
ganized. Let  me  emphasize  the  fact  that  the  Real  Estate  Board 
of  New  York  is  not,  as  some  might  assume,  organized  purely 
for  a  selfish  purpose.  For  this  actual  working  out  of  this 
broad  consideration  of  subjects,  all  vital  to  the  public,  results 
ultimately  to  the  public  benefit.  And  this  is,  as  it  should  be, 
an  increasingly  evident  result  of  proper  organization  along 
lines  such  as  I  have  described 

"The  benefits  of  organization  to  real  estate  cannot  be  too 
highly  emphasized.  Lack  of  co-operation  on  the  part  of  those 
interested  in  providing  houses  for  the  masses  and  space  for 
commercial  interests  has  resulted  in  legislation  that,  if  per- 
mitted to  continue,  will  drive  the  investor  from  the  real  estate 
field  and  make  it  more  difficult  to  secure  that  essential  com- 
modity, a  roof  over  one's  head. 

"Real  estate  in  the  past  has  been  so  poorly  organized  and 
so  lacking  in  this  spirit  of  co-operation  that  the  investor's 
viewpoint  is  lost  sight  of,  and  unscrupulous  landlords  entering 
the  real  estate  field  for  the  purpose  of  gouging  the  tenants 
have  received  the  greatest  publicity  and,  naturally,  the  real 
estate  business  is  judged  by  the  public  from  the  publicity 
it  receives." 


Real  Estate  Board  Holds  Its  Second  Monthly  Dinner 


(Continued  from  page  391) 
rate  of  five  per  cent,  per  annum,  with  the  result  that  in  thirty- 
eight  years  from  now  the  total  will  be  paid  by  steady  amortiza- 
tion and  the  investment  will  be  safe  and  assured.  It  will  mean 
a  tremendous  saving  and  a  resultant  public  benefit.  Hence- 
forth, the  public,  by  the  power  of  law,  is  going  to  be  let  in  on 
rapid-transit  operation.  That  is  the  ultimatum  I  announce  to- 
night. A  barometer  fund,  to  be  fully  worked  out,  will  save  the 
five-cent  fare.  Profitable  rapid  transit  at  that  price  is  feasible 
and  possible." 

Secretary  Allen,  of  the  Coal  Consumers  Association,  said: 
"So  far  as  the  Port  of  New  York  is  concerned  there  should  be 
a  marked  reduction  of  the  freight  rate  on  coal  and  it  should 
be  based  on  the  cost  per  ton  to  transport.  There  should  also 
be  a  seasonal  freight  rate,  as  well  as  an  improvement  in  the 
quality  of  the  coal  delivered.  There  is  no  rate  now  that  pro- 
vides for  the  delivery  of  coal  into  New  York  City.  It  is  fixed 
to  the  New  Jersey  shore,  where  the  coal  roads  terminate.  The 
rate  per  ton  varies  for  domestic  sizes  from  $2.66  to  the  Jersey 
shore  to  $7.00  to  New  England  points.  All  of  these  rates  are 
twice  as  much  as  they  should  be.  Fifty  per  cent,  of  the  coal 
that  comes  over  the  Delaware,  Lackawanna  &  Western  Rail- 
road is  from  six  mines  near  together  and  there  is  low  cost  of 
assembling  it.     The  rate  is  outrageously  high. 

"The  coal  generally  that  comes  into  New  York  is  low  grade, 
as  compared  with  the  coal  sent  to  other  centers.  There  is  a 
large  volume  of  dust  with  it.  And  yet  the  Pennsylvania  mines 
are  known  to  produce  probably  the  best  coal  of  all.  Why  does 
this  situation  exist?  Because  the  coal-buying  public  here  has 
never  done  anything  remedial  about  it. 

"Most   of   the   coal   that   comes    into   this    city   is   hauled    155 


miles  from  the  mines  and  over  one  mountain  range.  The 
southern  roads  that  supply  other  centers  haul  coal  over  two 
mountain  ranges  to  various  long  distance-points  of  tide  water 
at  less  than  one-half  the  rate  per  ton  paid  by  those  who  receive 
coal  on  the  New  Jersey  shore  opposite  New  York.  The  West 
Virginia  mines  and  the  Ohio  mines  ship  coal  much  further  than 
do  the  Lackawanna  mines  in  Pennsylvania  and  at  far  less  per 
ton.  Cleveland,  Detroit,  Chicago  and  Buffalo  get  coal  at  a 
much  lower  freight  rate  than  we  do.  Why  is  it  New  York  is 
singled  out  as  the  victim  of  profiteering?  All  of  the  great 
industrial  centers  of  the  South  get  coal  more  cheaply  than  we 
do.  Coal  is  carried  hundreds  of  miles  to  reach  them  and  yet 
they  get  it  more  cheaply  than  we  do.  If  New  York  paid  forty 
cents  a  mile  per  ton  it  would  be  paying  well  for  all  the  coal 
it  receives.  There  is  no  such  reasonable  rate  in  sight,  however. 
"There  is  one  real  and  effective  way  that  the  cost  of  coal 
transportation  to  the  New  Jersey  shore  and  to  New  York  can 
be  greatly  cheapened  to  every  consumer,  large  and  small.  That 
is  to  fight  the  system  which  makes  these  excessive  charges 
before  the  Interstate  Commerce  Commission.  It  would  cost 
probably  $100,000  and  it  would  take  time  and  patience,  but  it 
could  be  done  successfully.  What  is  $100,000  in  legal  expenses 
when  distributed  over  millions  of  tons  of  coal  pro  rata?  When 
you  large  property-owners  and  consumers  of  coal  decide  to 
do  this  you  will  pave  the  way  for  relief  and  not  before." 


The  National  Fire  Protection  Association  has  just  issued  a 
bulletin  stating  that  the  fire  loss  in  the  United  States  for  1921 
exceeded  that  of  any  previous  year.  While  final  figures  are 
not  available,  the  total  will  be  $500,000,000.

Weekl}^  Statistical  Tabulations  of  F.  W. 
Residential  Construction 

SIGNIFICANT  gains  in  the  volume  of  active  construction 
are  being  reported  from  practically  all  sections  of  the 
United  States  and  the  outstanding  characteristic  of  the 
building  situation  as  it  prevails  today  is  the  absolute  predom- 
inance of  residential  work.  Building  statistics  for  the  week  of 
March  18  to  24  inclusive,  as  tabulated  by  the  F.  W.  Dodge  Com- 
pany, show  that  in  New  York  State  and  New  Jersey,  north  of 
Trenton,  residential  plans  were  announced  that  will  involve  a 
total  cost  of  $25,136,000.  The  total  for  all  newly  proposed  con- 
struction in  this  territory  was  $26,109,700  for  the  week.  Out  of 
816  separate  operations  reported  629  were  for  apartments  or 
one-  and  two-family  dwellings. 

Figures  for  the  week  show  a  slight  drop  in  the  volume  of 
new  work  placed  under  contract  but  according  to  the  number 
of  operations  now  out  for  estimates  this  does  not  indicate  a 
trend  toward  less  active  work.  Approximately  the  same  ratio 
between  residential  and  all  other  classes  of  construction  pre- 
vails when  the  figures  for  recent  awards  are  analyzed  for  out 
of  452  contracts  awarded  during  the  week  355  were  for  housing 
construction  and  the  cost  was  $10,180,500  for  this  work  out  of 
a  total  of  $15,824,700  in  contracts  for  the  week.

Bond  Issue  for  New  Bachelor  Hotel. 

S.  W.  Straus  &  Co.  have  underwritten 
a  first  mortgage  bond  issue  of  $1,100,000 
on  the  new  Allerton  House  to  be  erected 
at  130  East  Fifty-seventh  Street.  This 
latest  unit  in  the  Allerton  chain  of  bach- 
elor apartment  houses  will  be  nineteen 
stories  high  and  will  contain  approxi- 
mately 470  rooms.  The  building  is  now 
in   course   of  construction. 

The  land  fronts  67  feet  6  inches  on  the 
south  of  Fifty-seventh  Street,  22  feet  6 
inches  west  of  Lexington  Avenue,  by  100 
feet  deep,  plus  a  frontage  of  75  feet  on 
the  west  side  of  Lexington,  25  feet,  6 
inches  south  of  Fifty-seventh  Street  and 
contains    approximately    8,462   square   feet. 

A  valuation  of  $1,600,000  has  been 
placed  on  the  land  and  building.  The 
building  is  designed  along  lines  which 
have  brought  success  to  the  Allerton 
House  idea.  The  main  floor  will  contain 
a  large  entrance  hall,  lounge,  dining  and 
reading  rooms  and  two  shops.  On  the  roof 
will  be  a  music  room,  writing  room, 
solarium   and  roof  garden. 

The  idea  of  the  Allerton  House  is  to 
provide  single  men  with  comfortable 
homes  plus  the  advantage  of  a  club  at- 
mosphere. Other  Allerton  Houses  are 
located  at  302  West  22nd  Street,  143  East 
39th  Street  and  45  East  55th  Street.  The 
bonds  are  a  direct  obligation  of  the  Aller- 
ton Fifty-seventh  Street  Corporation, 
some  of  the  principal  stockholders  of 
which  are  James  S.  Cushman  and  William 
H.    Silk.

CURRENT    BUILDING    OPERATIONS 


EXTENSION  of  the  tax  exemption  ordi- 
nance by  the  Board  of  Estimate  and 
Apportionment,  although  practically  a 
fore.srone  conclusion  among  speculative 
builders,  -will  undoubtedly  be  followed  by 
an  immediate  increase  in  the  volume  of 
apartment  house  and  small  dwelling  con- 
struction throughout  Greater  New  York. 
For  the  past  few  weeks  plans  for  work 
of  this  character  have  been  piling  up  and 
from  all  accounts  the  local  building  field 
will  be  dominated  by  speculative  con- 
struction   throughout    the    coming    season. 

The  general  activity  in  the  industry  is 
shaping  up  in  a  manner  satisfactory  to 
all  concerned  and  if  the  dispute  between 
employers  and  workmen  over  the  revision 
of  wage  scales  can  be  settled  without 
further  delay,  the  next  few  months  will 
become  historic  in  local  building  annals. 
There  is  a  vast  amount  of  projected  work 
and  the  only  requirement  for  an  immed- 
iate start  is  some  assurance  that  relations 
between  the  employers  and  the  trade 
unions   will    be   harmonious. 

The  building  material  markets  are 
steadily  gaining  in  activity,  with  demand 
for  all  materials  improving  and  prospects 
for  a  consistent  increase  in  business 
throughout  the  remainder  of  the  year. 
Prices  are  remarkably  firm  in  practically 
all  lines  and  in  some  instances  slight 
advances  have  been  reported.  The  com- 
mon brick  market  has  been  exceptionally 
active  and  prices  have  steadied  down 
considerably.  Lumber  dealers  report  in- 
creased buying  for  immediate  construc- 
tion requirements  and  a  splendid  outlook 
for  the  future. 

Coniinon  Brick — It  has  been  some  years 
since  the  volume  of  business  transacted 
in  the  New  York  wholesale  market  for 
Hudson  River  common  brick  has  ap- 
proached that  of  the  past  week  when  a 
total  of  sixty-five  barge  loads  of  common 
brick  arrived  from  up-river  yards  and  all 
were  disposed  of  to  satisfy  immediate 
orders.  Although  the  heavy  sales  of  the 
week  are  partly  the  result  of  the  scarcity 
that  existed  a  few  weeks  ago,  which 
depleted  all  reserves  held  by  dealers,  there 
is  no  doubt  that  the  demand  for  this 
commodity  is  greater  today  than  it  has 
been  for  a  long  time  and  there  are  marked 
indications  that  this  demand  will  increase 
steadily  throughout  the  spring  and 
summer  months  instead  of  decreasing. 
Prices  are  fairly  firm  and  although  there 
is  a  range  from  $16  to  $16.50  a  thousand, 
wholesale,  there  is  very  little  brick  ob- 
tainable at  the  lower  figure  and  only  for 
off-quality  product.  The  fair  weather  of 
the  past  few  days,  coupled  with  the  in- 
creasing demand  for  brick,  has  turned  the 


thoughts  of  Hudson  River  brick  manu- 
facturers to  the  coming  producing  season. 
Because  of  the  heavy  potential  demand 
and  the  moderate  reserves  at  the  yards 
there  is  every  probability  that,  weather 
conditions  permitting,  manufacturing  will 
be  started  at  least  two  or  three  weeks 
earlier  this  year  than  usual.  At  present 
brick  manufacturers  are  making  their 
plans  for  the  season's  operations  and  are 
gathering  their  working  forces  with  the 
hope  of  starting  their  plants  during  the 
latter  part  of  April  if  possible.

of  newly  projected  construction  that  has 
been  announced  for  an  early  start.  Buy- 
ing: has  been  steady  and  consistent 
throughout  the  past  winter  and  many  of 
the  local  dealers  report  a  splendid  winter 
business.  Lumber  prices  are  firm  at 
present  and  although  there  is  likely  to  be 
a  slight  advance  as  the  demand  increases, 
those  best  informed  are  not  inclined  to 
think  that  prices  will  soar  this  summer 
contrary   to   predictions   recently   made. 

Structural  Steel — The  market  for  this 
commodity  is  far  more  active  than  it  has 
been    and    there    are    marked    indications 


that  buying-  will  increase  steadily  from 
now  on.  There  have  been  a  number  of 
plans  recently  released  involving  large 
structural  operations  and  they  will  re- 
quire a  heavy  total  tonnage  of  fabricated 
material.  Several  large  bookings  during 
the  past  week  have  been  largely  respon- 
sible for  the  improved  tone  of  the  market 
and  with  the  award  of  the  orders  now 
pending  there  will  undoubtedly  be  a  de- 
cided change  in  the  outlook.  Prices  on 
fabricated  steel  are  slightly  higher  than 
they  were  and  are  firm  at  the  new  level. 
The  general  range  is  from  $63  to  $68  per

ton,  for  steel,  fabricated  and  erected  in 
commercial  structures.  Structural  book- 
ings improved  to  some  extent  during  Feb- 
ruary, according  to  the  report  issued  by 
the  Bridge  Builders'  and  Structural 
Society.  This  report  shows  that  during 
the  month  of  February  78,700  tons  of 
fabricated  structural  steel  was  contracted 
for  tliroughout  the  United  States,  equiva- 
lent to  forty-three  per  cent,  of  the  entire 
capacity  of  the  bridge  and  structural 
shops  of  the  country. 

Cast  Iron  Pipe — 'The  tone  of  the  market 
for  this  commodity  is  excellent  and  manu- 
facturers are  looking  for  a  steady  in- 
crease in  the  volume  of  business.  Private 
buying  continues  to  be  a  noteworthy 
feature  of  the  current  demand  and  there 
is  a  steady  increase  in  the  amount  of 
municipal  business  in  sight  for  the  com- 
ing season.  The  majority  of  the  Eastern 
plants  are  now  operating  at  approx- 
imately eighty  per  cent,  of  capacity  and 
with  the  orders  in  sight  shortly  maturing 
there  is  no  reason  why  production  should 
not  be  increased.  Prices  are  firm  and  no 
changes  are  anticipated.  New  York  quo- 
tations are  as  follows:  6  in.  and  larger, 
$47.30  per  net  ton;  4  in.  and  5  in.,  $52.30, 
and  3  in.,  $62,30,  with  Class  A  and  gas 
pipe    $4    extra  per   ton. 

Builders'  Hardware  —  The  demand  is 
strong  and  shows  every  likelihood  of  im- 
proving steadily  throughout  the  coming 
season.  There  is  a  great  amount  of  pro- 
posed construction  that  will  create  a 
heavy  demand  for  hardware  items.  Prices 
are    firm  and   unchanged. 

Window  Glass — Additional  interest  is 
being  manifested  in  this  line  every  day 
and  both  manufacturers  and  jobbers  are 
anticipating  a  season  of  more  than  usual 
activity.  The  program  of  speculative  con- 
struction for  this  territory  is  steadily  in- 
creasing- and  during  the  middle  of  the 
summer  the  dealers  in  glass  anticipate 
the  peak  of  business  and  in  all  probability 
will  be  rushed  to  the  limit  of  their  ca- 
pacity. Prices  are  steady  and  no  changes 
have    been    reported. 

I.luseed  Oil. — Although  demand  is  not 
brisk,  the  recent  business  in  the  linseed 
oil  marlcet  is  generally  considered  fair  for 
this  period  of  the  year  and  is  indicative 
of  greater  activity  ahead.  During  the 
past  two  weeks  sales  have  shown  a  de- 
sided  improvement  over  those  of  the  pre- 
vious two  months  and  this  fact  alone  is 
quite  heartening  to  the  jobbing  interests. 
Recent  sales  liave  been  in  small  lot  orders 
and  the  market  for  this  commodity  will 
not  gain  in  activity  to  any  extent  until 
considerable   car-lot   business    is   manifest.

PLANS  FIL  ED  FOR  NEW  CONSTRUCTION 
IN  ALL  BOROUGHS  OF  NEW  YORK  CITY 


To  Whom  it  May  Concern:- 

I  take  great  pleasure  in  voluntarily  tes- 
tifying as  to  the  ability  and  reliability  of 
Mr.  A.  Wilkes,  Decorator  and  Painter, 
who  has  just  completed  a  satisfactory  job 
of  painting  and  re-decorating  of  my  home 
at  196  Shonnard  Terrace,  Yonkers,  N.  Y., 
which  s!iows  thoroughness,  good  work- 
manship and  artistic  judgment. 

Mr,  Wilkes'  prices  are  reasonable  and 
not  excessive  like  some  who  figured  on 
this  job,  and  instead  of  "cutting  corners" 
and  omitting  details,  I  find  that  he  has 
included  many  small  details,  not  specified, 
in  order  to  give  a  thoroughly  satisfactory 
service  and  effects. 

I  therefore  commend  him  unqualifiedly 
as  a  conscientious  and  dependable  person 
who  can  be  relied  on  to  do  a  first  class 
job  of  painting  or  decorating,  and  will  be 
pleased  to  show  the  work  in  my  home  or 
be  n  reference  for  further  information. 
Yours  very   truly, 

CLARENCE  P.   DAY.

Extensible 

Steel 
Partitions 


are  adjustable  to  any  ceiling 
height.  Entire  floors  can  be  dis- 
mantled and  re-erected  over 
night,  at  less  than  25%  of  the 
cost  of  the  ordinary  partitions. 

Finished  in  Baked  Enamel,  Oak, 
Mahogany,  Circassian  and  Amer- 
ican Walnut,  etc.

In  that  giant  among  giants — the 
Equitable  Building — what  parti- 
tion to  use  was  a  serious  ques- 
tion. 

You  can  imagine  that  with  the 
stream  of  tenants  moving  and 
changing  continually  the  cost  of 
building  new  partitions  might 
easily  be  tremendous. 

There  was  not  only  the  cost  of 
the  material  destroyed  if  plaster 
partitions  were  used,  but  the 
dust  annoyance  to  the  tenants 
had  to  be  thought  of. 

Every  type  of  partition  material 
was  considered  and  rejected  for 
one  reason  or  another. 

Finally  Empire  Steel  Partitions 
was  decided  upon  because  of  the 
"ease  and  economy"  with  which 
it  can  be  moved  whenever  ten- 
ants require  alterations. 


"The  partitions  embodying  the 
EMPIRE  STEEL  construction 
give  us  a  flexible  partition  which 
can  be  used  on  nearly  every 
floor,  and  which  can  be  moved  at 
low  cost,  without  expensive 
waste  or  damage.

A  Trust  Fund  That 
Cannot  Shrink 

NO.  10 

You  may  ask  what  rate  of  in- 
terest you  may  expect  if  you  estab- 
lish a  trust  fund  under  the  guar- 
antee of  this  Company  that  it  will 
not   shrink. 

The  return  will  be  the  amount  paid  by 
the  Guaranteed  Mortgages  of  the  Bond  & 
Mortgage  Guarantee  Company  in  which 
we  will  invest  the  trust  fund  less  very 
moderate    trustees'    commissions. 

During  the  past  thirty  years,  such 
mortgages  have  paid  a  little  more  than 
Municipal  Bonds  or  other  saving  bank 
bonds  purchased  at  the  same  period  with 
this  difference — there  has  been  no  shrink- 
age in  the  principal  invested  in  the  Guar- 
anteed Mortgages  while  there  have  been 
heavy  losses  in  the  value  of  those  other 
investments.

RECORD     AND     GUIDE 


421 


As  to  Representing  the  Public 

It  is  surprising  indeed  to  note  the  attitude  of  the  Building 
Trades  Council  in  the  negotiations  which  are  under  way  to 
reach  new  wage  and  working  agreements  in  the  building 
trades.  The  Council  takes  the  position  that  the  so-called 
Public  Group  engaged  in  the  negotiations  does  not  actually 
represent  the  public,  or,  at  least,  that  the  Public  Group  does 
not  represent  the  public  as  does  the  Lockwood  Committee. 
And  the  Lockwood  Committee,  in  turn,  holds  that  the  public 
cannot  be  fully  and  properly  represented  in  these  negotia- 
tions unless  its  Chief  Counsel,  Mr.  Samuel  Untermyer,  is 
made  a  party  to  the  proceedings. 

This  amazing  proposition  naturally  is  resented  by  the 
Public  Group,  the  Secretary  of  which,  Mr.  Robert  D.  Kohn, 
properly  declared  that  "the  Council  cannot  tell  us  that  we 
do  not  represent  the  public  interest,"  adding,  "twenty-five 
civic  organizations  are  represented  in  this  committee  and  we 
have  a  perfect  right  to  interest  ourselves  in  this  situation 
and  to  represent  the  public." 

Unless  The  Record  and  Guide  is  greatly  mistaken,  a 
large  number  of  New  Yorkers  take  exception  to  the  idea 
that  in  the  present  building  situation  in  the  metropolis  no 
one  has  any  regard  for  the  public  interest  excepting  the 
Lockwood  Committee  or  its  Chief  Counsel.  Thoughtful 
observers  keep  in  mind  the  fact  that  the  Lockwood  Com- 
mittee, although  marvelously  press-agented  for  many 
months,  is  made  up  of  individual  Senators  and  Assembly- 
men of  limited  experience  in  public  aflfairs,  men  whose 
activities  prior  to  their  appointment  on  the  Lockwood  Com- 
mittee were  largely  confined  to  the  small  geographical  sec- 
tions of  the  city  which  they  represent  at  Albany.  When  the 
Legislature  decided  to  have  a  Housing  Committee  the  per- 
sonnel of  that  committee  was  determined  by  the  up-state 
political  leaders,  and  none  of  the  members  owed  his  selec- 
tion to  the  fact  that  he  stood  out  pre-eminently  either  as  an 
authority  on  housing  or  on  civic  afifairs  in  general  in  the 
metropolis.  In  fact,  little  was  known  about  any  member 
of  the  committee  outside  his  own  district. 

Contrasted  with  these  men,  it  is  interesting  to  note  who 
constitute  the  Public  Group  participating  in  the  present 
negotiations.  In  the  list  with  Mr.  Walter  Stabler  as  Chair- 
man are  found  the  names  of  some  of  the  best-known  and 
most  reputable  architects  in  New  York,  bankers  of  high 
standing  and  wide  experience,  leaders  in  the  real  estate  field 
like  Mr.  Clarence  H.  Kelsey,  high  officials  of  savings  banks 
which  furnish  millions  on  millions  of  the  money  used  in 
building,  Mr.  William  Fellowes  Morgan,  President  of  the 
Merchants  Association  of  New  York,  Mr.  Charles  G.  Ed- 
wards, President  of  the  Real  Estate  Board  of  New  York, 
Mr.  J.  Harvey  Williams,  President  of  the  Brooklyn  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce,  and  representatives  of  the  Bronx  Board 
of  Trade  and  the  Queens  Chamber  of  Commerce,  together 
with  other  long-recognized  leaders  in  civic  and  business 
organizations. 

When  the  acting  Public  Group  is  contrasted  with  the 
Lockwood  group  it  seems  amazing,  if  it  were  not  so  ludi- 
crous, that  the  efTort  to  adjust  the  building  situation  in  the 


metropolis  should  be  held  back  because  of  such  a  puerile 
discussion  as  to  which  group  is  more  truly  representative  of 
the  public  in  the  situation.  The  leaders  of  the  Building 
Trades  Council  probably  have  their  reasons  for  favoring  the 
Lockwood  Committee  and  Mr.  Untermyer  as  the  only 
simon-pure  representatives  of  the  New  York  public,  but  the 
great  mass  of  New  Yorkers  cannot  be  so  blind.  Many  as 
are  the  difficulties  that  beset  Father  Knickerbocker  these 
days,  surely  he  cannot  yet  have  reached  the  point  where 
nobody  loves  him  or  is  willing  to  safeguard  his  interests 
excepting  the  members  of  the  Lockwood  Committee  and  its 
Chief  Counsel. 

On  the  contrary,  the  character  and  standing  and  experi- 
ence and  public-spirit  of  the  men  constituting  the  Public 
Group  in  the  present  negotiations  furnish  in  themselves  an 
answer  to  the  absurd  proposition.  Representing  the  public 
in  such  a  vital  matter  as  is  involved  in  the  present  negotia- 
tions is  a  serious  business  and  the  great  public  of  the 
metropolis,  more  vitally  interested  than  any  single  group, 
may  well  count  itself  fortunate  in  having  as  its  representa- 
tives in  the  Public  Group  such  a  body  of  men  as  are  now 
working  on  this  problem.  Certainly  if  these  men  cannot 
adequately  represent  the  public  in  the  present  negotiations 
it  would  be  a  waste  of  time  to  try  to  find  any  group  which 
could  satisfactorily  perform  that  public  service. 


Albany  Helps  Out  the  Taxpayers 

Governor  Miller  has  completed  consideration  of  the 
various  financial  bills  passed  by  the  recent  Legislature,  and 
the  taxpayers  of  the  state  now  know  how  much  it  will  cost 
them  for  state  government  during  the  next  fiscal  year.  Be- 
cause of  some  extraordinary  but  necessary  expenditures, 
Governor  Miller  has  not  succeeded  in  keeping  the  totals 
((uite  as  low  as  he  had  hoped  to  do,  but  it  is  only  fair  to  say 
that  he  has  done  well  by  the  taxpayers  under  the  circum- 
stances. 

The  total  appropriations  approved  by  the  Governor 
amount  to  $133,142,807.34,  a  decrease  of  about  $2,500,000 
as  compared  with  the  present  fiscal  year  and  a  decrease  of 
more  than  $12,000,000  as  compared  with  the  appropriations 
for  1920.  These  comparisons  with  the  record  of  the  last 
two  preceding  years  show  that  the  taxpayers  have  ample 
ground  for  satisfaction,  even  though  the  total  for  the  new 
fiscal  year  shows  a  smaller  relative  reduction  than  was  ef- 
fected in  1921. 

As  Governor  Miller  points  out,  the  1922  appropriations 
include  four  items,  totaling  $9,000,000,  to  meet  extraor- 
dinary demands  on  the  State  Treasury.  These  .inusual 
items  include  $5,500,000  to  com]ilete  the  state's  share  of  the 
New  York  and  New  Jersey  Vehicular  Tunnel,  $1,500,000 
to  acquire  land  for  the  improvement  of  the  Harlem  River, 
$1,000,000  to  utilize  surplus  canal  waters  now  running  to 
waste,  and  $1,000,000  for  prompt,  temporary  relief  of  dis- 
abled veterans  of  the  World  War.  No  objection  can  be 
raised  to  any  of  these  extraordinary  expenditures,  but  for 
which  the  total  appropriations  this  year  would  be  between 
$11,000,000  and  $12,000,000  less  than  those  for  1921.     In

this  connection  it  is  interesting  to  note  the  Governor's 
statement  that  "the  legitimate  needs  of  the  state  and  needful 
pubhc  improvements  have  been  adequately  provided  for." 
In  other  words,  Governor  Miller  shows  by  the  record  that 
he  has  instituted  real  economy  in  the  conduct  of  the  state 
government  and  that  this  has  been  done  without  detriment 
to  the  public  interest.  That  is  the  sort  of  record  which  ap- 
peals to  all  taxpayers,  and  taxpayers  do  not  care  what  may 
be  the  political  proclivities  of  the  official  bringing  about  the 
economies. 

A  good  example  of  governmental  economy  has  been 
given  at  Albany  and  it  should  be  followed  by  city  and  county 
officials  all  over  the  state.  The  only  way  to  cut  tax  burdens 
is  to  cut  them,  and  extravagance  by  local  officials  should 
not  be  permitted  to  eat  up  the  millions  saved  in  running  the 
state  government. 


1922  Setting  New  Building  Records 

If  the  building  activity  reported  throughout  the  country 
during  the  first  quarter  of  tlie  current  year  is  any  criterion, 
there  can  be  no  doubt  that  1922  will  establish  a  new  high 
record  for  national  building  accomplishments.  Already  the 
total  commitments  are  significant  of  the  long-predicted  re- 
vival in  building,  and  from  the  manner  in  which  the  industry 
has  gained  momentum  during  the  past  two  or  three  months 
in  practically  all  sections  of  the  United  States  the  recent 
forecasts  of  the  extent  of  the  1922  building  boom  are  likely 
to  be  more  than  fulfilled. 

Construction  statistics  compiled  by  the  F.  W.  Dodge 
Company  show  that  the  building  commitments  for  March 
in  the  twenty-seven  Northeastern  States  reached  a  total  of 
$293,636,000.  This  figure  represents  a  gain  of  sixty-five 
per  cent,  over  the  total  for  the  previous  month  and  is  ap- 


of  construction  reported  placed  under  contract  during 
March,  1921. 

The  first  quarter  of  1922  is  about  sixty-eight  per  cent, 
ahead  of  the  same  period  a  year  ago  in  the  value  of  contract 
awards  for  new  building  and  engineering  projects,  and  as 
the  reported  contemplated  construction  for  last  month,  plans 
for  a  large  percentage  of  which  are  fully  matured,  amounted 
to  a  total  of  nearly  $613,000,000,  or  more  than  twice  the 
value  of  the  work  actually  awarded  during  the  same  period, 
there  is  a  practical  assurance  that  only  a  widespread  stop- 
page of  construction  activity  in  various  parts  of  the  country 
will  prevent  the  current  year  from  establishing  a  new  high 
record  for  building  achievement.  The  March  total  of  re- 
ported construction  being  planned  is  the  largest  of  any  single 
month  since  March,  1920,  which  was  a  banner  month,  and 
as  the  records  of  the  past  three  months  show  a  steady  gain 
there  is  a  likelihood  that  previous  records  will  be  broken 
before  the  year  is  half  over. 

Despite  repeated  claims  that  a  large  amount  of  local  con- 
struction is  being  held  in  abeyance  because  of  prevailing 
high  costs,  particularly  as  applied  to  building  labor,  the 
March  commitments  for  the  territory  including  New  York 
State  and  Northern  New  Jersey  amounted  to  $88,506,000. 
This  total  is  less  than  a  quarter  of  a  million  dollars  below 
the  record  total  for  this  district  and  an  additional  project 
of  the  ordinary  New  York  City  commercial  loft  building 
type  would  have  broken  the  local  monthly  record. 

Although  the  major  portion  of  the  work  now  active 
throughout  the  country  is  residential  in  character,  and  op- 
erations of  this  type  during  March  represent  the  greatest 
total  of  any  single  month  since  the  summer  of  1919,  there 
has  been  a  healthy  gain  in  all  classifications  of  construction. 
The  building  industry  has  every  reason  to  feel  assured  that 
the  future  is  exceptionally  bright  and  the  outlook  for  prog- 
ress better  than  it  has  been  for  many  years  past.

Hearing  on  Amendments  to  Emergency  Rent  Laws  Next  Monday 


GOVERNOR  MILLER  will  give  a  hearing  on  the  amend- 
ments to  the  Emergency  Rent  Laws  passed  at  the 
recent  session  next  Monday,  April  10,  in  the  Executive 
Chamber  at  Albany.  It  is  expected  that  a  large  number  of 
those    interested    in    this    legislation    will    attend. 

The  Real  Estate  Board  of  New  York  will  oppose  the  bill 
extending  the  Emergency  Rent  Laws  for  two  years,  to  Febru- 
ary 15,  1924,  because  the  board  takes  the  position  that  this 
date  is  far  beyond  the  reasonable  possibility  of  the  existence 
of  any  "emergency"  which  may  have  existed  and  that  the  bill 
applies  equjlly  to  all  types  of  apartments,  even  those  of 
which  there  |s  already  a  surplus. 

'  "Aiiother  bill  which  will  be  opposed  by  the  Real  Estate  Board 
is  intended  to  modify  the  administration  of  the  rent  laws  for 
both  tenant  and  landlord.  In  the  judgment  of  the  Board  it 
does  not  do  this  through  faulty  drafting.  The  provision  in  the 
old  law  requiring  that  there  could  be  no  defense  when  the  ten- 
ant had  paid  three  months'  rent  without  question,  was  gen- 
erally satisfactory  to  both  landlord  and  tenant;  but  complaint 
was  made  that  some  landlords  compelled  first  payment  of  three 


months'  rent  in  advance.  In  order  to  remedy  this  a  new  sec- 
tion is  proposed,  but  is  so  badly  drawn  that  it  leaves  the  mat- 
ter for  both  landlord  and  tenant  worse  than  it  was  before. 
.•\nother  undesirable  feature  is  that  the  assessed  value  be  pre- 
sumed to  be  real  value  as  of  the  time  of  payment  of  the  first 
month's  rent.  This  in  many  cases  would  be  the  value  of  some 
three  to   five  years   ago. 

The  bill  permitting  insurance  companies  to  go  into  the  build- 
ing business  on  the  plea  that  they  can  produce  cheap  housing 
is  objected  to  by  the  Real  Estate  Board  because  while  the 
bill  provides  that  the  maximum  rent  to  be  obtained  per  room 
per  month  shall  be  $9,  it  says  nothing  as  to  the  character  of 
the   apartments   or  the   service   to   be   rendered. 

"Except  among  theorists  there  is  no  particular  interest  in 
this  bill  apparently  not  even  on  the  part  of  the  insui-ance 
companies,"  declares  the  Board.  "Indiscriminate  owning  of 
real  estate  was  forbidden  to  the  insurance  companies  after 
very  thorough  consideration  some  years  ago.  Policyholders 
will  agree  that  life  insurance  funds  should  not  be  used  in 
speculative  building." 


Philadelphia  Will  Have  Real  Estate  and  Building  Exposition  April  15-22 


THE  Philadelphia  Real  Estate  Board  will  hold  the  fourth 
annual  real  estate  and  building  exposition  in  that  city 
from  April  15  to  22  inclusive.  It  wil  be  held  in  the  First 
Regiment  Armory  and  will  include  exhibits  of  building  mater- 
rials,  furnishings  and  appliances  of  all  kinds,  and  will  also  have 
as  a  part  of  the  exhibits  a  competition  of  architects  for  various 
types  of  residences. 

Included  in  the  membership  of  the  Philadelphia  Real  Estate 


Board  are  practically  all  the  real  estate  men  in  that  city,  the 
larger  contractors  and  bankers  and  business  men  of  all  kinds 
as  honorry  members. 

The  general  chairman  of  the  committee  in  charge  of  the 
exposition  is  C.  William  Spiess.  Interest  in  this  annual  event 
has  been  growing  rapidly  since  its  inauguration  four  years  ago 
and  it  is  confidantly  expected  that  all  former  efforts  wi!!  be 
eclipsed  this  year.

Albany,  April  6. 

THE  supplemental  appropriation  bill  carrying  items  aggre- 
gating $1,229,142,  which  includes  $765,000  for  adjusted  canal 
claims  and  judgments  of  the  State  court  of  claims  was 
signed  by  Governor  Miller  this  week.  A  number  of  other  bills 
received  his  approval. 

"The  total  appropriations  carried  in  this  bill,  the  general 
appropriation  bill  amounting  to  $102,857,610  and  special  bills 
appropriating  $19,167,587,  mainly  for  highway  construction  and 
maintenance,  are  $123,254,340,"  the  Governor  commented  in  a 
memorandum  accompanying  this  legislation.  "That  sum  fairly 
represents  the  amount  to  which  the  regular  expenses  of  the 
State  government  have  been  reduced.  In  addition  to  the 
foregoing  the  Legislature  has  deemed  it  wise  to  provide  for 
a  number  of  extraordinary  demands  including  the  following 
items : 

To  complete  the  State's  share  of  the  construction 
of  the   New  York    and    New    Jersey    Vehicular 

Tunnel   

To  acquire  land  necessary  for  the  improvement  of 
the  Harlem  River  imperatively  needed  both  for 
Barge   Canal  shipping  and  to   relieve  conditions 

in    New    York    Harbor    

To   utilize   the   surplus   canal  waters   at  Visscher's 

Ferry  and  Crescent  Dam,  now  running  to  waste 

To    give     prompt,     temporary    relief     to     disabled 

veterans   of  the   World  War   


Total 


adequately  provided  for.  It  is  now  for  the  administrative  de- 
partments of  the  Government  to  make  efficient  and  economical 
use  of  the  funds  provided  and  to  discharge  their  several  func- 
tions within  the  appropriations  allowed  them.  To  do  that  it 
will  only  be  necessary  to  maintain  the  spirit  of  co-operation 
and  the  will  constantly  to  improve  methods  of  administration 
which  have  been  exhibited  in  marked  fashion  during  the  past 
year." 

The  direct  State  tax  bill  was  signed  by  the  Governor  this 
week,  with  this  comment :  "This  bill  levies  a  direct  State  tax  of 
one-half  of  a  mill  for  teachers'  salaries  and  a  trifle  less  than 
eight-tenths  of  a  mill  for  debt  service.  That  will  result  in  a 
total  reduction  in  direct  State  taxes  of  $15,055,790  as  compared 
with  1920  and  unless  absorbed  by  increases  in  local  taxation 
will  cause  substantial  tax  reductions  in  every  county  iti  New 
York  State." 

The  Governor  also  approved  an  amendment  to  the  Real 
Property  Law  and  the  Executive  Law,  affecting  counties  in 
which  there  are  registers  and  requiring  a  notary  public  in  ad- 
dition to  filing  his  autograph  signature  with  such  register  to 
file  a  certificate  from  the  county  clerk  in  which  such  notary 
was  originally  appointed  or  a  certificate  from  the  county  clerk 
of  the  county  where  such  notary  has  acknowledged  a  deed  or 
other  instrument. 

The  State  standard  building  code  bill  was  also  signed  by  the 
Governor.  This  measure,  affects  theatres  and  other  places  of 
public  amusement  having  a  seating  capacity  of  100  or  more  and 

is  the  precautionary   outcome  of  the  Washington  theatre  col-

$5,500,000 


1,500,000 
1,000,000 
1,000,000 


"Those  with  other  items  bring  the  total  appropriations  made 
by  the  Legislature  up  to  $133,143,807.34,  which  is  two  and  a  half 
millions  under  the  appropriations  of  last  year  and  more  than 
twelve  millions  under  the   appropriations  of   1920. 

"That  result  is  especially  gratifying  in  view  of  the  drastic 
cut  of  seventy  millions  of  dollars,  in  round  numbers,  from  the 
budget  requests  last  year  and  of  the  further  fact  that  there  are 
annual  increases  in  fixed  charges  and  expenses  of  government 
which  cannot  be  avoided.  Some  of  these  increases  in  the  re- 
quirements of  this  over  last  year  are  as  follows  : 

Debt    service     $705,378.57 

Highways,  under  the  Lowman  Act  and  to  supplement

"In  other  words  the  Legislature  provided  more  than  nine 
million  dollars  for  extraordinary  public  improvements  and 
requirements,  met  the  necessary  increases  in  the  cost  of  gov- 
ernment of  more  than  four  and  three-fourths  million  dollars, 
and  effected  a  net  reduction  of  more  than  two  and  a  half 
million  dollars  in  the  appropriations  as  compared  with  last 
year. 

"The  Legislature  has  not  been  parsimonious.  The  legitimate

industrial  commission  is  directed  to  frame  the  building  code 
and  compel  compliance  with  its  regulations.  The  code  shall 
supersede  any  special  or  local  law  or  ordinance.  In  munici- 
palities where  there  is  a  department  or  bureau  of  buildings  the 
new  regulations  shall  be  administered  by  such  department. 
The  State  code  will  represent  the  minimum  of  requirement, 
and  municipalities  may  establish  by  ordinance  additional  re- 
quirements and  restrictions.  A  special  bureau  will  be  estab- 
lished in  the  industrial  commission  for  the  administration  of 
the  code. 

The  Governor  has  also  signed  the  Rayher  bill  providing  that 
an  owner  or  occupant  of  property  who  shall  be  deprived  of 
light  and  air  by  any  fence  or  fence  structure  exceeding  10 
feet  in  height  may  institute  an  action  to  have  such  fence  de- 
clared  a   private   nuisance. 

Governor  Miller  signed  two  bills  aimed  to  curb  the  crime  wave 
in  New  York  City  by  speeding  up  the  work  of  the  criminal  courts. 

One  of  the  measures  provides  for  six  additional  assistant  district 
attorneys  for  New  York  County  and  the  other  restores  to  the  New 
York  County  District  Attorney  the  control  over  the  trial  of  indict- 
ments, now  possessed  by  all  other  district  attorneys  in  the  State.  The 
bill  providing  for  the  additional  assistant  district  attorneys  has  the 
approval  of  Mayor  Hylan. 

Following  the  signing  of  the  bills,  the  Governor  sent  a  letter  to 
District  Attorney  Joab  H.  Banton,  of  New  York  County,  pointing 
out  that  all  the  measures  he  had  requested  to  enable  him  to  speedily 
bring  lawbreakers  to  justice  have  now  been  provided.  In  his  letter 
the  Governor  said  there  is  no  reason  why  New  York  should  not 
be  a  safe  place  in  which  to  live.

Joseph  P.  Day  Tells  How  to  Succeed  as  Realty  Auctioneer 

His  Address  in  Y.  M.  C.  A.  Lecture  Course  Followed  by  Robert  E.  Dowling,  Who 
Stressed  Growing  Importance  and  Respectabilit}^  of  Realty  Business 

THE  members  of  the  Real  Estate  Training  Class  of  the 
West  Side  Y.  M.  C.  A.  received  an  extra  charge  of  real 
estate  information  on  Tuesday  evening,  when  Robert  E. 
Dowling,  who  presided  and  introduced  the  scheduled  speaker, 
Joseph  P.  Day,  himself  spoke  at  length  and  unexpectedly  on 
various  phases  of  the  real  estate  situation.  Mr.  Dowlmg's 
address  followed  that  by  Mr.  Day  and  each  speaker  was  great- 
ly interested  in  what  the  other  said,  as  was  the  audience. 
Mr.  Dowling's  speech  was  a  pleasant  surprise  to  his  auditors 
and  they  asked  him  as  many  questions  when  he  had  finished  as 
they  asked  Mr.  Day. 

In  opening  the  meeting  Mr.  Dowling  said  that  he  did  not 
know  why  he  was  asked  to  introduce  Mr.  Day  to  a  real  estate 
audience  or  to  any  other  audience  for  that  matter,  for  the 
reason  that  he  was  so  well  known  he  needed  no  introduction 
anywhere.  Mr.  Day,  in  response,  said:  "Mr.  Dowling  is  more 
gracious  to  me  than  I  deserve.  But,  his  presence  here  tonight 
reminds  me  that  I  should  utter  a  truism  to  this  audience.  John 
Jacob  Astor  was  the  biggest  investor  in  New  YorK  real  estate. 
Robert  E.  Dowling  is  the  biggest  and  highest  class  operator 
in  New  York  real  estate.  I  express  no  flattery  when  I  say 
that.  He  is  one  of  the  great  constructive  forces  in  the  real 
estate  movement  of  this  city  and  you,  students  of  a  great  line 
of  business  with  which  he  is  identified,  should  know  it  if  you 
do  not. 

"Pardon  me  for  being  reminiscent  for  a  few  minutes.  Mr. 
Dowling's  presence  here  reminds  me  what  an  inspiration  and 
bulwark  he  is  to  the  New  York  real  estate  market.  During 
the  trying  panic  days  of  1907,  when  building  operations  were 
going  by  the  board,  when  most  men  lost  their  nerve  as 
well  as  their  money,  when  anything  pertaining  to  the  payment 
of  money  caused  confusion,  Dowling  was  in  the  midst  of  the 
huge  job  of  erecting  the  City  Investing  Building,  at  16S  Broad- 
way. During  all  of  that  era  that  tried  men's  souls  and  pocket- 
books  Mr.  Dowling  went  about  his  business  daily,  calmly  ef- 
fecting all  that  he  had  planned,  and  quietly  and  coolly  he  drew 
up  his  payroll  each  week  and  paid  for  the  construction  of  the 
monumental  pile  that  I  have  mentioned.  He  went  through  the 
panic  of  1907  successfully.  He  knew  his  business.  His  judg- 
ment kept  pace  with  the  crucial  hours.  And,  by  the  way,  he 
is  a  native  -of  this  city.  It  seems  to  be  a  generally  accepted 
belief  that  the  most  successful  men  in  any  line  of  business  in 
this  town  are  outlanders,  that  they  come  from  Ohio,  Indiana. 
Illinois,  California  and  other  parts  of  the  country  and  show 
us  something.  Here  is  a  salient  instance  of  a  native  teaching 
the  outlanders  something.  He  is  the  real  operator  of  this 
city.  I  say  it  in  all  sincerity.  With  such  a  success  as  this  man 
has  achieved  don't  ever  wish  to  yourself  that  you  had  been 
born  in  Oshkosh,  Kalamazoo  or  Hoboken,  instead  of  here. 
If  it  has  been  your  luck  to  have  been  born  there,  why,  then  do 
the  best  you  can  with  the  handicap." 
Continuing,  Mr.  Day  said: — 


"My  assigned  task  to-night  is  to  talk  on  the  selling  ot  real  estate  at 
auction.  I  cannot  give  you  a  real  heart-to-heart,  man-to-man  demonstra- 
tion here  because  the  environment  is  npt  here.  Just  come  around  to  the 
Real  Estate  Salesroom  any  day  when  I  am  on  the  job.  I  will  do  better 
then  and  incidentally  I  may  sell  you  a  tew  lots.  (Great  laughter).  I  can 
only  say  now  that  I  have  been  at  the  game  twenty  years  in  dead  earnest. 
They  have  been  twenty  years  filled  with  hard  work,  enthusiasm  tor  that 
work  and  satisfaction,  as  a  rule,  over  having  performed  it.  Let  me  tell 
you  the  selling  of  real  estate,  either  at  auction  or  privately,  is  not  always 
a  bed  ot  roses.  You  must  have  initiative  and  nerve  to  succeed,  for  you 
are  always  up  against  men  of  nerve  and  judgment  who  do  succeed.  As 
for  the  auction  business,  it  is  the  hardest  kind  of  work.  If  you  become 
an  auctioneer  there  will  be  many  a  day  and  night  when  you  will  have  to 
absolutely  forget  home,  mother  and  the  babies  in  order  to  pull  a  big  sale 
through  to  success.  Work  and  then  more  work,  that  is  the  secret  of  my 
success.  Boundless  and  undaunted  enthusiasm  for  work.  The  fellow  who 
said  that  genius  was  the  faculty  of  working  hard  came  pretty  near  the 
diagnosis.  My  beginning  in  the  general  real  estate  business  dates  back 
twenty-flve  years,  but  I  got  the  Idea  of  being  a  live  auctioneer  about 
twenty  years  ago. 

"When  I  paid  .$1,000  for  a  seat  on  the  Real  Estate  Exchange  and  an- 
nounced an  active  membership  Peter  F.  Meyer  and  Adrian  Muller  were 
the  king-pins  of  the  business.  And.  let  me  say.  they  were  remarkable 
men  in  their  field.  Because  I  ventured  to  sell  real  estate  at  auction  they 
looked  upon  me  as  a  sort  of  a  fresh  kid.     Some  said  that  I  was  crazy    and 


wanted  to  know  where  I  got  off.  Just  at  that  moment,  while  they  were 
thinking  that  way,  I  got  on.  (Laughter).  You  know  that  this  world  is 
not  made  for  any  coterie,  as  nearly  as  I  can  reckon. 

"It  so  happened,"  Mr.  Day  continued,  "that  the  Bennett 
building  on  Nassau  street,  erected  by  that  journalistic  genius, 
the  late  James  Gordon  Bennett,  was  to  be  sold  at  auction.  It 
had  previously  passed  out  of  the  hands  of  Mr.  Bennett.  I 
went  out  and  looked  for  the  job  of  selling  that  property  at 
auction  and  I  got  it.  I  think  my  fee  was  $15.  But  I  urged  that 
a  big  advertising  appropriation  be  made  and  it  was.  That 
exploited  the  property  so  well  that  it  brought  many  persons 
to  the  sale.  It  was  a  success.  Then  subsequently  I  got  busy 
hunting  for  executors'  sales.  That  is  where  the  auctioneer 
makes  the  real  money.  I  finally  got  to  the  stage  where  I  did 
not  have  to  beg  for  sales.  I  suppose  that  my  work  to  some 
extent  spoke  for  itself. 

"Let  me  impress  upon  you  the  four  fundamentals  of  the  real 
estate  auction  business.  First,  get  your  man's  attention;  then 
his  interest  in  your  proposition;  then  his  desire  to  have  it;  and 
then  his  action.  The  last  is  the  grand  climax  of  the  others. 
In  arousng  his  attention  show  him  the  unique  features  of  what 
you  are  offering,  such  as  the  profit  a  re-sale  will  yield  and 
the  renting  power  and  possible  increased  renting  power.  You 
can  do  this  best  on  a  broad  scale  by  advertising.  Sometimes 
the  pulling  power  of  a  daily  newspaper  page  may  require  less 
than  a  page  of  actual  space.  Attract  your  public  by  advanc- 
ing an  unusual  statement.  Make  it  brief,  pointed  and  im- 
pressive. Then,  in  another  advertisement,  arouse  its  interest 
by  advancing  arguments  with  merit.  Then  arouse  its  desire 
in  another  advertisement.  Then  your  work  is  really  done. 
Get  so  you  feel  it  in  your  bones  that  you  are  selling  the  prop- 
erty to  yourself.     When  that  is  done  you  are  a  sure  winner. 

"The  power  of  suggestion  is  a  wonderful  power.  While  I 
was  riding  uptown  on  the  subway  tonight  I  beheld  an  ad- 
vertisement of  a  certain  brand  of  canned  beans.  It  was  illus- 
trated so  cleverly  that  the  more  I  looked  at  it  the  more  I 
felt  like  sitting  down  right  there  and  eating  a  dishful.  Let 
the  power  of  suggestion  work  along  the  right  lines  in  the  real 
estate  business.  It  is  bound  to  come  out  right.  Always  feel 
that  you  are  going  to  do  better  than  the  best.  It  is  a  grand  and 
glorious  feeling.  The  greatest  indoor  sport,  to  my  mind,  is 
selling  real  estate  at  auction.  If  you  can  only  feel  that  way 
you  have  the  feeling  that  will  make  the  buyer  come  across. 
You  will  get  some  hard  knocks  as  you  go  along.  What  oi  .i? 
Knocks  are  always  mixed  with  success. 

"An  essential  in  the  auction  room  is  quiet  concentration  on 
the  work  at  hand  Be  determined  to  sell  and  to  hold  the  in- 
terest and  desire  of  a  prospective  buyer  even  if  there  is  a  riot 
on  hand.  Straight  order  of  business  is  necessary.  Why,  I 
want  to  tell  you  that  at  a  recent  auction  sale  of  government 
property  I  made  in  Camden,  N.  J.,  the  crowd  was  so. dense 
and  noisy  that  I  had  one  prospective  buyer  dragged  through 
a  window  so  that  he  could  learn  what  he  wanted  to  know. 
And  I  sold  him  a  parcel.  There  was  local  prejudice  against 
the  entire  sale  at  the  beginning,  a  high  old  row  developed 
and  things  looked  ominous  for  a  while.  But,  I  concentrated  on 
my  objective  and  within  an  hour  and  a  half  that  gathering 
was  a  perfect  love  feast.  Don't  ever  forget  to  exercise  the 
power  to  put  things  over  as  quickly  as  possible.  Keep  cool. 
Don't  lose  sight  of  the  main  point.  The  power  of  a  dominating 
will   to   do   things   must   prevail." 

When  Mr.  Day  had  finished,  Mr.  Dowling  said:  "I  made  my 
first  sale  of  real  estate  when  I  was  twenty  years  old.  I  started 
my  career  as  a  broker  pure  and  simple.  It  is  always  interesting 
work.  When  I  started  the  Upper  West  Side  was  mostly  va- 
cant lots.  Nearly  everybody  said  when  the  boom  there  began 
that  values  there  would  not  last  six  months.  Think  of  it! 
However,  I  believed  in  the  future  growth  of  this  city.  I  had

Modern  Apartment  House  for  Madison  Ave.  Car  Barn  Site 

S.  W.  Straus  &  Co.  Underwrite  Bond  Issue  on  Fifteen-Story  Multi-Family  Project 
to  Be  Conducted  According  to  New  and  Unique  Plan  of  Operation 


BY  far  the  most  important  as  well  as  inter- 
esting transaction  in  the  real  estate  and 
building  fields  during  the  past  week  was 
the  closing  of  negotiations  for  the  construction 
of  a  fifteen-story  apartment  house  to  be  erected 
on  the  west  side  of  Madison  avenue  between 
Eighty-fifth  and  Eighty-sixth  streets.  This 
structure  will  be  located  upon  the  site  of  the  old 
street  car  barns  and  will  practically  cover  a  plot 
with  a  frontage  of  204  feet  on  Madison  avenue 
and  extending  back  220  feet  in  both  streets. 

New  methods  of  operation  will  be  introduced 
by  the  owners  and  the  innovations  are  likely  to 
be  viewed  with  extreme  interest  by  other  owners 
of  multi-family  houses. 

The  final  plans  and  specifications  for  this 
project  are  now  being  prepared  by  Schwartz  & 
Gross  and  work  will  be  started  immediately 
under  a  general  contract  which  has  been  awarded 
to  the  Fred  T.  Ley  Co..  builders. 

S.  W.  Straus  &  Co.  have  underwritten  a  first 
mortgage  serial  bond  issue  of  $4,200,000  on  the 
land  and  building,  which  includes  a  first  lien  on 
the  net  annual  earnings  of  this  operation  which 
are  estimated  at  $546,000.  The  building  will  con- 
tain 1,003  rooms,  arranged  in  365  living  suites, 
in  addition  to  the  usual  features  of  a  modern 
hotel.  The  first  floor  will  contain  restaurants, 
banquet  hall,  office;  lounge  rooms  and  a  large 
lobby.  On  this  floor  also  will  be  located  sixteen 
shops  facing  on  Madison  avenue,  with  rear 
entrances  to  the  main  lobby  of  the  building. 
.\ccording  to  the  present  plans  the  Eighty-sixth 
street  frontage  will  embody  special  accommoda- 
tions for  doctors'  suites  arranged  with  two  and 
three  rooms  each. 

This  apartment  will  be  owned  and  operated 
by  the  12  East  Eighty-sixth  Street  Corporation, 
of  which  I.  Fluegelman,  directing  operator  of 
the  Hotel  Hamilton,  is  president  and  one  of  the 
controlling  stockholders.  Discussing  the  newly- 
projected  multi-family  dwelling  on  the  car 
Fluegelman  said :

the    apartment 

house    field   within    the    past   decade   and   it   has   in   a   measure 
solved  many  of  the   problems   of   living,  particularly  as   it  ap- 
plies to  the  servant  question  of  the  present  day.     The  modern 
apartment  hotel  is   an   expensive  place   to   live   in  at   best   and 
the   prime  idea   behind   the   construction   of   this   new   building 
is  to  commence  by  renting  a  vacant  apartment  with,  however. 
a    more    complete    service    than    the    usual    high    class    multi- 
family    building    offers,    and    for    rooms    and    such    service    to 
charge    a    moderate    rent    in    keeping   with    current    apartmenf 
house  rentals.     In  addition  it  is  planned  to  furnish  practically 
at   cost  any   further   service   that   may  be   desired  by   the   ten- 
ants.   This  additional  service  is  to  be  rendered  as  and  when  the 
tenants   wish   it,   be   it   daily,   weekly   or   at    irregular   intervals. 
Every  apartment  will   have   a   completely  equipped  kitchen   so 
that  the  families  can  live  from  one  extreme  to  the  other.     The 
housewife  may  do  her  own  cooking  and  when  she  desires  will 
be  able  to  have  her  house  work  done  by  trained  servant.^;  on 
a    per   hour   basis.     She    can   also   have   meals   or   portions    of 
meals  served  in  her  own  apartment  or  the  family  can  dine  in 
the  main  dining  room  on  the  ground  floor.     In  brief,  this  new 
project  will  be  what  might  be  termed  a  semi-hotel,  combining 
all  of  the  features  of  a  non-furnished  housekeeping  apartment,

Work  Started  On  Vehicular  Tunnel  Under  Hudson  River 

Contractors  Expect  to  Complete  Twin  Tubes  Connecting  Manhattan  Island  With 
New  Jersey  Within  Specified  Time  of  Three  Years 


CONTRACTS  for  the  vehicular  tunnel  under  the  Hudson 
River  having  been  signed  last  week,  as  reported  in  the  Record 
AND  Guide,  work  on  this  important  link  between  Manhattan 
Island  and  New  Jersey  was  actually  started  on  Friday,  March  31. 
Ground  was  broken  at  Canal  and  West  streets  for  the  power  house 
in  which  will  be  installed  the  air  compressors  for  driving  the 
shields  through  the  bed  of  the  river,  and  other  machinery  for  re- 
moval of  rock  and  silt,  and  for  many  purposes  connected  with 
digging  the  hole  that  will  at  last  connect  this  water-bound  borough 
with  the  mainland.  The  project  has  been  mooted  for  years,  re- 
quired the  awakening  of  public  interest  to  its  importance,  the  over- 
coming of  official  objections  to  it.  and  favorable  action  carrying 
large  appropriations  by  the  New  York  and  the  New  Jersey  legis- 
latures. 

There  was  no  ceremony  to  mark  the  start  of  so  great  an  enter- 
prise. In  the  presence  of  a  small  group  of  day  laborers,  Clifford 
M.  Holland,  chief  engineer  of  the  New  York  and  New  Jersey  Tun- 
nel Commission,  drove  a  workman's  pick  into  the  soil,  and  Michael 
L.  Quinn,  general  superintendent  of  Booth  &  Flinn,  Ltd.,  who  have 
the  contract  for  building  the  tunnel  at  $19,321,723,  thrust  a  shovel 
into  the  loosened  dirt  and  threw  it  to  one  side.  Then  the  laborers 
took  up  the  job  and  the  huge  task  was  under  way.  There  will 
be  two  air  compressors,  one  on  the  Manhattan  shore  and  the 
other  on  the  New  Jersey  shore. 

Six  shields  to  be  used  in  driving  the  tunnel  are  now  being  manu- 
factured by  the  Merchants'  Shipbuilding  Company  at  Chester,  Pa. 
Thirty-nine  jacks  will  be  used  in  forcing  the  shields  forward  at  a 
rate  of  from  two  and  a  half  to  fifteen  feet  a  day,  according  to 
the  resistance  encountered.  These  jacks,  placed  about  the  outer 
edge  of  the  shield,  thrust  forward  with  a  power  sufficient  to  move 
7,600  tons.  The  shields,  weighing  30O  tons  apiece,  will  be  taken 
down  the  shaft  in  sections  and  set  up  below  the  surface.  The 
shafts  at  Spring  and  Canal  streets  are  sixty  feet  deep.  They  were 
sunk  by  Holbrook,  Cabot  &  Rollins. 

The  total  length  of  the  tunnels  will  be  9,250  feet,  with  8,330  feet 


between  the  portals.  The  distance  between  the  river  shafts  is  3,375 
feet  and  the  length  of  the  under-river  portion  will  be  5,480  feet. 
The  twin  tubes  will  have  an  outside  diameter  of  29  feet  6  inches. 
Each  tube  will  have  room  for  two  automobiles  abreast,  and  there 
will  be  a  footway  six  feet  wide  in  each  tube.  The  maximum  depth 
between  the  top  of  the  tunnel  and  the  high  water  level  of  the  river 
will  be  72  feet  and  the  maximum  depth  of  the  roadway  92  feet. 

The  ventilation  plan  provides  for  changing  the  air  forty  times 
an  hour  and  the  projectors  have  no  fear  of  gasoline  fumes.  The 
two  tubes  have  an  estimated  hourly  capacity  in  both  directions  of 
3,800  vehicles.  The  maximum  upgrade  is  3.6  per  cent,  and  a  down 
grade  of  4.05  per  cent.  The  roadway  widths  are  20  feet  and  the 
headroom  is  13  feet  6  inches. 

The  entrance  on  the  New  York  side  will  be  at  Broome,  between 
Hudson  and  Varick  streets,  and  the  New  York  exit  at  Vestry  and 
Varick.  On  the  Jersey  City  end  the  entrance  will  be  at  Provost 
and  Twelfth  streets  and  the  exit  at  Provost  and  Fourteenth  streets. 
Sixty  parcels  of  land,  costing  $1,700,000,  are  to  be  used  in  Man- 
hattan for  the  entrance  and  exit  plazas. 

The  Jersey  City  authorities  have  not  yet  approved  the  ordinances 
providing  for  the  closing  of  certain  streets  needed  for  the  tunnel 
plaza,  but  it  was  said  that  this  approval  would  not  be  delayed  more 
than  a  week.  The  total  cost  of  the  tunnel,  when  ready  for  the 
passage  through  it  of  the  estimated  15,000,000  vehicles  a  year,  is 
$28,669,000. 

George  H.  Flinn,  president  of  Booth  &  Flinn,  Ltd.,  said  that 
his  firm  expected  to  complete  the  work  within  the  specified  time  of 
36  months.  Already  contracts  for  materials  costing  $7,000,000 
have  been  let  with  responsible  firms,  assuring  against  increase  in 
prices.  He  said  the  company  would  employ  from  1,000  to  1,500 
men  in  three  shifts. 

The  contracting  firm  built  six  of  the  tunnels  under  the  East  River 
at  a  total  cost  of  $18,000,000.  These  tunnels  are  only  seventeen 
feet  six  inches  in  diameter,  while  the  Hudson  River  tunnel  is  to  be 
thirty   feet  in  diameter. 


Joseph  P.  Day  Tells  How  to  Succeed  as  Realty  Auctioneer 


(Continued  from  page  424) 
studied  its  history,  its  progress,  its  strategetic  position  and 
its  growing  power.  I  felt  that  it  could  not  stop  and  that  feeling 
was  based  on  all  the  substantial  things  that  had  gone  before. 
When  I  look  back  and  think  of  the  pessimistic  prophets  of  that 
era  it  is  to  laugh.  Like  Mr.  Day,  I  had  faith  based  on  things 
seen  and  the  unseen  has  been  realized.  When  I  started  peo- 
ple generally  looked  upon  the  real  estate  business  as  some- 
thing that  a  man  went  into  after  he  had  failed  at  everything 
else.  It  is  no  longer  so.  The  real  estate  business  has  attained 
an  importance  and  a  respectability  as  high,  if  not  higher,  than 
other  first  class  callings.  In  its  best  sense  it  has  become  a  pro- 
fession. There  are  men  in  it  who  are  as  well  educated  and  as 
intelligent  as  in  other  good  lines  of  existence.  Real  estate  is 
a  business  that  deals  with  the  largest  values.  When  one  buys 
a  good  automobile  he  thinks  he  has  spent  a  lot  of  money. 
When  he  buys  a  house  or  a  larger  building  in  this  city  he  has 
really  spent  some  money.  A  chain  of  pearls  or  a  painting  by 
an  old  master  may  bring  as  good  a  price  as  a  first-class  piece 
of  real  estate..  But  there  are  many  parcels  of  real  estate  that 
surpass  those  in  price,  and  consequently  the  real  estate  business 
is  an  honorable  and  an  important  line  of  business.  It  cannot 
be   successfully  belittled. 

"There  is  too  much  legislation  now  affecting  real  estate.  The 
truth  is  that  real  estate  in  this  city  will  be  legislated  to  death 
if  legislation  at  Albany  and  elsewhere  does  not  cease.  Under- 
lying all  attempts  to  regulate  and  control  real  estate  by  leg- 
islation is  the  single-tax  idea  of  handling  real  property.  A 
single-tax  advocate  once  told  me  that  I  did  not  dare  meet  him 
on   the   platform   to   thresh   out   the   idea.     Why   should   I?     It 


was  not  necessary.  I  had  read  'Progress  and  Poverty'  thor- 
oughly and  I  did  not  agree  with  it.  I  had  seen  the  practical 
workings  of  real  estate  as  it  is  and  I  felt  and  still  feel  that  all 
the  fine-spun  theories  in  the  world  cannot  supplant  the  eco- 
nomic workings  of  property. 

"All  real  value  will  be  taxed  out  of  real  estate  if  the  per- 
formances of  the  last  four  years  are  continued  in  the  same 
volume.  Some  time  ago  I  sold  the  City  Investing  Building  to 
B.  Benenson.  He  is  a  Russian  by  birth.  He  owned  consider- 
able real  estate  in  Russia.  All  of  it  was  confiscated  by  the 
Spviet  Government  in  one  sweeping  decree.  What  was  done 
in  Russia  through  fine-spun  theories  and  ignorance  of  eco- 
nomics and  by  main  strength  can  be  done  here  by  constant 
agitation  against  property  rights  and  by  connivance.  That 
may  sound  like  a  rash  statement,  but  it  can  come  to  pass. 
To  punish  real  property  is  a  trend  of  the  times.  To  succor 
it  and  conserve  it  as  a  great  asset  of  society  is  being  discour- 
aged in  many  places.  The  Geddes'  report,  recently  made  in 
England,  should  be  read  by  all  students  of  governmental  in- 
terference with  property  rights.  It  proves  an  utter  failure  on 
the  part  of  the  government  to  solve  the  housing  problem.  There 
has  been  much  foolish  legislation  in  New  York  by  honest  and 
well-meaning  persons.  There  must  be  an  end  to  it  or  there 
will  be  an  end  to  property  as  surely  as  there  is  in  Russia. 

"To  succeed  in  the  real  estate  business  one  must  have  the 
faculty  of  acting  at  the  right  time.  A  man  may  possess  a  pro- 
found knowledge  of  the  market,  but  if  he  lacks  the  faculty  of 
decision  he  is  nil.  Personality  is  frequently  a  big  asset,  as 
it  is  in  every  business,  but  action  must  be  the  prime  accom- 
paniment of  all  other  qualities."

Review  of  Real  Estate  Market  for  the   Current  Week 

Fine  Elevator  Apartment  Houses  Were  Sold  and  There  Was  Variety  of  Dealing  in 

Medium  Sized  Parcels  and  Costly  Acreage 


THIS  has  been  a  week  of  substantial  transactions.  There 
were  no  spectacular  sales.  A  number  of  them  ran  up  to 
the  $500,000  mark  and  some  beyond  that  figure.  The 
aggregate  market  shows  that  real  estate  at  this  time  has  a 
strong  undertone  with  a  livelihood  of  a  good  market  continu- 
ing until  summer.  The  leasing  of  space  in  new  large  buildings 
goes  on  unabated  which  shows  the  demand  for  modern  office 
space.  A  feature  of  the  week  was  the  leasing  for  long  terms 
of  several  large  garages.  All  parts  of  town  are  feeling  the  im- 
pulse of  a  general  demand  for  property  for  sale  and  rent. 
Some  new  and  costly  large  apartments  on  upper  Fifth  ave- 
nue were  leased  for  terms  of  fair  length.  Costly  private 
dwellings  in  the  same  region  changed  hands.  The  upper  West 
Side  figured  in  all  kinds  of  real  estate  transactions.  Costly 
elevator  apartment  houses  in  the  Park  and  Madison  avenue 
zones  as  well  as  on  the  upper  West  Side  and  on  Washington 
Heights  sold  well.  Sites  for  several  new  large  apartment 
houses  were  assembled.  New  apartment  houses  in  the  Bronx 
appear  to   be  selling  at  fair  prices. 

A  well  known  firm  of  warehousemen  for  the  second  time  in 
two  weeks  bought  a  large  warehouse.  They  now  have  one  each 
in  East  and  West  Harlem.  Several  commercial  buildings  on 
the  West  Side  were  bought,  one  by  a  large  wholesale  paper 
firm  which  will  occupy  it.  Various  old  parcels  on  the  West 
Side   of   various   descriptions   changed  hands.     The   Greenwich 


Village  district  contributed  some  sales  of  more  than  ordinary 
moment.  Operators  are  fairly  busy  in  private  dwellings  and 
medium  sized  tenement  houses  in  all  parts  of  the  city  where 
such    properties   are. 

A  sale  that  marks  the  improving  character  of  the  neighbor- 
hood adjacent  to  Jefferson  Market  Court  was  that  of  three 
century  old  houses  at  1  to  5  Minetta  lane.  An  investor  bought 
them  who  will  restore  them  to  their  original  Colonial  appear- 
ance for  use  by  artists  and  writers.  The  operation  shows  the 
expansion  of  the  artist  colony  to  Sixth  avenue.  These  dwellings 
were  long  occupied  by  the  lower  elements  of  New  York's  popu- 
lation and  the  rehabilitation  of  them  shows  that  the  same  trend 
is  under  way  at  the  beginning  of  Sixth  avenue  and  its  en- 
virons as  has  been  under  way  for  a  year  or  more  further  west 
in   Greenwich   Village. 

The  name  of  the  recent  buyer  of  the  northwest  corner  of 
Fifth  avenue  and  34th  street  was  made  public  by  Max  Natan- 
son,  the  seller. 

Conspicuous  among  the  acreage  purchases  of  the  week  was 
that  of  36  acres  and  a  mansion,  at  Sands  Point,  Nassau  county 
by  Vincent  Astor.  This  buyer  has  long  owned  a  magnificent 
estate  at  Rhinecliff  near  the  Hudson,  where  generations  of 
his  family  were  before  him.  The  fact  that  he  is  attracted  to 
Long  Island's  North  shore  which  is  honeycombed  with  costly 
estates   shows   the   allurement  of   that   region   for  the   wealthy. 


PRIVATE  REALTY  SALES. 


THE  total  number  of  sales  reported  but  not 
recorded  in  Manhattan  this  week,  was  S'J 
as  against  60  last  week  and  92  a  year  ago. 

The  number  of  sales  south  of  5i(th  st  was  31

st,  covering  a  plot  30.S6xll7.  The  buyer  re- 
cently purchased  o.j  and  37  Broad  st,  adjoining 
on  the  north,  and  has  for  some  time  owned  No. 
41,  adjoining  on  the  south.  The  latest  purchase 
therefore  Alls  out  a  plot  with  an  entire  frontage 
of  lOo  feet  directly  adjoining  the  Broad- 
Exchange  Building,  which  the  company  also 
ciwns,  at  the  southeast  corner  of  Exchange  pi 
and  Broad  st.  The  Broad-Exchange  Co.  re- 
cently purchased  the  0-sty  building,  51  Beaver 
st,  as  an  outlet  for  the  Broad-Exchange  build- 
ing. 

The  fee  of  the  property  at  43  to  47  Broad  st, 
upon  which  the  Combustion  Engineering  Corpor- 
ation has  erected  a  new  8-sty  building  on  a  long 
term  lease,  is  owned  by  the  Alliance  Realty  Co., 
so  that  the  purchase  just  consummated  finally 
brings  into  the  ownership  of  these  two  com- 
panies an  entire  area  of  land  of  52,000  square 
feet,  being  one  of  the  largest  plots  in  the  flnan- 
i  i:il   district. 

Property  owners  in  Broad  st.  not  long  ago 
sccurt'd  a  court  injunction  which  has  resulted 
in  the  removal  from  the  street  of  the  remnant 
of  the  so-called  curb  market,  which  for  so  long 
he'd  back  the  dnvelopluent  of  the  block. 

The  site  of  the  new  home  of  the  Stock  Ex- 
change firm  of  Post  &  Flagg.  40  and  ."i1  Broad 
St.  was  originally  purchased  by  the  Broad-Ex- 
change Co.  and  resold  to  that  firm  under  re- 
.strictions  as  to  the  height  of  the  building  since 
erected.  The  Senboard  National  Bank  and  the 
Western  Union  Cn.  have  likewise  imt  up  new 
buildings  in  this  block,  and  it  is  believed  the 
recent  purchases  portend  similar  improvements 
in  the  near  future  which  will  complete  the 
transformation   of  the  block.

RECENT  LEASES. 


Choice    Leasehold    Bought 

The  Hauiptoii  Shops,  Inc.,  decorators,  pur- 
chased from  Helena  B.  Garvey  Hayden  the 
ground  site  of  their  11-sty  building,  IS-JO  East 
50th  St,  measuring  56.2x100.5,  on  the  south  side 
of  the  street,   facing  St.  Patrick's  Cathedral. 

The  sale  terminates  one  of  the  most  unusual 
leases  ever  drawn  in  New  York  city.  It  was 
remarkable  because  it  was  made  to  operate  prac- 
tically in  perpetuity  with  no  reappraisals.  It 
was  drawn  in  ISUo  by  Andrew  Jeffries  Garvey, 
an  old  time  politician,  to  Arthur  H.  Cutler  of 
the  Cutler  School.  The  property  then  contained 
two  substantial  dwellings.  The  lease  was  to  be- 
gin in  18!>4  and  was  to  run  for  20  years  at 
.*f8.500  a  year.  The  lease  also  carried  options 
for  similar  terms  to  run  indefinitely  and  the 
rental  called  for  in  the  first  term  was  to  be  con- 
tinued throughout  the  renewals.  Usually  leases 
are  made  with  rental  values  based  on  reap- 
praisements  of  the  property  every  21  years. 

The  taxes  on  the  Garvey  property  at  that  time 
were  $1,037.40  a  year  and  it  was  agreed  that 
the  owner  would  always  pay  this  tax,  but  that 
all  taxes  above  that  amount  were  to  be  paid  by 
the  tenant. 

In  1908  the  Cutlers  assigned  the  lease  to  W. 
W.  &  T.  M.  Hall,  and  6  years  later  they  dis- 
posed of  it  to  the  Grand  Rapids  Furniture  Co., 
which  improved  it  with  an  11-sty  building.  This 
subsequently  became  the  property  of  the  Hamp- 
ton Shops,  Inc.  The  Mutual  Life  Insurance  Co. 
has  advanced  a  loan  of  $3O(X0OO  on  the  property.

more  than  75  years  and  was  the  favorite  eating

BUILDING    SECTION 


March  Building  Totals  Equal  Record  Figures  of  April  1920 

statistics  Tabulated  by  F.  W.  Dodge  Company  Show  Commitments  of  $293,636,000 
in  Twenty-Seven  States,  a  Gain  of  65  Per  Cent.  Over  Previous  Month 


THE  month  of  March  witnessed  the  largest  volume  of 
construction  started  in  any  month  since  April,  1920,  ac- 
cording to  the  F.  W.  Dodge  Company.  The  total  amount 
of  contracts  awarded  during  March  in  the  27  Northwestern 
States  of  the  country  amounted  to  $293,636,000,  an  increase  of 
65  per  cent,  over  February  and  of  79  per  cent,  over  March, 
1921.  The  first  quarter  of  this  year  was  68  per  cent,  ahead  of 
the   first   quarter   of   1921. 

Practically  every  class  of  construction  showed  a  notable  in- 
crease in  March.  The  amount  of  residential  construction  was 
the  largest  since  the  summer  months  of  1919.  March  residen- 
tial contracts  amounted  to  $121,551,000,  which  was  41  per  cent. 
of  the  month's  total.  Public  works  and  utilities  amounted  to 
$51,997,000,  or  18  per  cent,  of  the  total;  business  buildings, 
$49,758,000  (largest  figure  on  this  class  since  May,  1920),  or 
17  per  cent,  of  the  month's  total;  educational  buildings,  $25,- 
575,000,  or  8  per  cent.;  and  industrial  buildings;  $24,270,000,  or 
8  per  cent. 

Building  contracts  awarded  in  the  27  Northeastern  States  during 
the  week  ending  March  17  amounted  to  $71,105,100,  according  to 
the  F.  W.  Dodge  Company.  This  figure  was  greater  by  over  2% 
than  the  largest  weekly  total  reporter  in  1921,  which  was  in  the 
middle  of  September.  The  week's  figure  showed  a  9%  increase 
over  the  previous  week,  and  was  far  in  excess  of  the  amount 
reported  for  any  previous  week  this  year. 

The  amount  of  contemplated  new  work  reported  in  March 
was  $613,000,000,  more  than  double  the  amount  of  contracts 
awarded,  the  largest  amount  of  contemplated  work  reported 
for   any   month   since    March,   1920. 

Contracts  awarded  in  the  New  England  States  during  March 
amounted  to  $27,795,000,  an  increase  of  78  per  cent,  over  the 
previous  month,  and  of  more  than  100  per  cent,  over  the  cor- 
responding month  of  last  year.  During  the  first  quarter  of  this 
year  the  volume  of  construction  contracts  let  has  been  more 
than  double  the  commitments  for  the  first  quarter  of  last 
year. 

The  March  total  included:  $12,590,000,  or  45  per  cent.,  for 
residential  buildings ;  $5,769,000,  or  21  per  cent.,  for  business 
buildings;  $3,106,000,  or  11  per  cent.,  for  educational  buildings; 
and  $2,848,000,  or  10  per  cent.,  for  public  works  and  utilities. 

Contemplated  new  work  reported  during  the  first  three 
months  of  this  year  has  amounted  to  $131,000,000,  more  than 
double  the  amount  of  contracts  awarded  in  the   same  period. 

Contracts  awarded  in  New  York  State  and  Northern  New 
Jersey  during  March  amounted  to  $88,506,000,  only  a  quarter  of 
a  million  under  the  maximum  monthly  total  on  record  for 
this  district.  The  March  total  was  49  per  cent  greater  than 
the  February  total,  and  three  times  the  figure  for  March, 
1921. 

The  volume  of  construction  started  in  this  district  during 
the  first  quarter  of  the  year  has  been  more  than  two  and  a 
half  times  that  of   the   first  quarter   of   1921. 

The  March,  1922,  total  included:  $50,424,000,  or  57  per  cent., 
for  residential  buildings  ;  $21,362,000,  or  24  per  cent.,  for  busi- 
ness buildings,  the  largest  amount  of  construction  in  this  class 
since  June,  1920;  $5,493,000,  or  6  per  cent.,  for  educational 
buildings;  and  $4,245,000,  or  5  per  cent.,  for  pulilic  works  and 
utilities. 

Contemplated  new  work  reported  in  the  first  quarter  of  tliis

(Eastern  Pennsylvania,  Southern  New  Jersey,  Delaware,  Mary-

month  and  of  66  per  cent,  over  March,  1921.  The  total  for 
the  first  quarter  of  this  year  has  been  69  per  cent,  greater

March  building  contracts  in  Western  Pennsylvania,  West 
Virginia,  Ohio,  Kentucky  and  Tennessee,  amounted  to  $37,- 
748,000,  which  was  52  per  cent,  greater  than  the  Ferbuary  fig- 
ure, and  10  per  cent,  under  the  total  for  March,  1921.  The 
total  for  the  first  three  months  of  this  year  is  4  per  cent, 
ahead  of  the  corresponding  period  of   1921.

ings. 

Contemplated  new  work  reported  during  the  first  three

Illinois,  Indiana,  Iowa,  Wisconsin,  Michigan,  Missouri,  and 
portions  of  Eastern  Kansas  and  Nebraska)  amounted  to  $84,- 
993,000,  the  largest  monthly  total  for  this  district  since  April, 
1920.  The  March  figure  was  88  per  cent,  over  February  and 
75  per  cent,  over  March,  1921.  The  first  quarter  of  1922  has 
shown  an  increase  of  48  per  cent,  over  the  first  quarter  of

[Special  to  the  Record  and  Guide] 


Albany,  April  6. 

THE  pruning  knife  was  used  unsparingly  this  year  upon

Employers  and  Unions  Remain  Deadlocked  Over  Building  Wage  Revision 

RACTICALLY   no    progress    has    been    made    during   the 
past   week  toward   settHng  the   dispute  between   the  em- 


"■■  ployers  and  the  union  workers  in  the  building  trades  over 
the  matter  of  revising  the  wage  scales  for  the  remainder  of 
this  year.  The  Building  Trades*  Council  remains  determined 
not  to  participate  in  any  conference  at  which  the  Lockwood 
Committee  and  its  special  counsel  are  not  represented.  The 
employers  are  quite  willing  to  meet  the  Council  leaders  at  any 
conference  at  which  legal  counsel  is  barred  but  feel  that  the 
Public  Group  of  which  Walter  Stabler  is  chairman  adequately 
represents  the  public  interest  in  construction  and  will  be  suf- 
ficient to  assure  that  the  public's  welfare  will  be  sufficiently 
safeguarded  by  this  committee,  which  will  have  a  voice  in  the 
deliberations  but  no  vote. 

The  Building  Trades  Employers'  Association,  however,  are 
determined  that  should  future  conferences  result  in  the  form- 
ulation of  a  new  agreement  the  document  must  be  signed 
by  the  various  unions  as  individual  organizations.  No  new 
agreement  will  be  made  by  the  employers  with  the  Building 
Trades'  Council,  chiefly  because  that  body  has  been  expelled 
from  the  American  Federation  of  Labor  on  account  of  its 
arrogant  and  arbitrary  attitude  toward  the  national  organiza- 
tion, and  furthermore,  because  several  of  the  most  important 
of  the  building  trades  unions  are  not  affiliated  with  the  Coun- 
cil and  therefore  whatever  was  accomplished  with  this  organi- 
zation would  have  to  be  repeated  with  the  unions  not  included 
in  its  membership. 

The  Building  Trades  Employers*  Association  recently  pre- 
pared in  the  form  of  **fourteen  points"  the  principles  which 
the  members  of  this  organization  believe  should  be  accepted 
as  the  basis  for  future  trade  agreements  between  employers 
and  workmen.  C.  G.  Norman,  chairman  of  the  Board  of  Gov- 
ernors of  the  employers'  association,  recently  declared  that 
whether  or  not  the  employers  succeed  in  impressing  the  union 
officials  with  the  justice  of  these  principles,  the  employers 
will  continue  to  advocate  them  for  adoption  at  as  early  a  date 


as  it   may  be  practicable   to  do   so.     The   "fourteen   points"  as 
drawn  up  by  the  employers'  association   are   as   follows: 

1.  All  trade  agreements  made  by  the  employers'  associations,  members 
of  the  Building  Trades  Employers'  Association,  and  trade  unions  shall 
provide  that  all  disputes  arising  in  the  trades  shall  be  settled  by  trade 
boards  of  arbitration,  with  an  umpire  if  necessary,  and  the  decisions  of 
trade  boards  and  umpires  shall  be  final  and  binding. 

2.  There  shall  be  no  strikes  or  lockouts  or  stoppage  of  work,  neithef 
shall  members  of  a  union  collectively  leave  the  work  of  a  member  of  the 
Building  Trades  Employers'  Association. 

8.  There  shall  be  no  agreement  providing  for  discrimination  against 
building  materials,  raw  or  manufactured. 

4.  The  amount  of  work  a  man  may  perform  shall  not  be  restricted  by  a 
union  nor  by  the  representatives,  officers  or  members  of  a  union. 

."i.  The  use  of  machinery,  tools,  appliances  or  methods  shall  not  be  re- 
stricted or  interfered  with. 

(J.  The  employer  shall  be  the  judge  of  the  competency  of  the  employe 
and  he  shall  be  at  liberty  to  employ  and  discharge  whomsoever  he  sees 
fit  ;  and  the  members  of  the  unions  shall  be  at  liberty  to  work  for  whom- 
soever they  shall  see  fit. 

7.  The  foreman  shall  be  the  agent  of  the  employer,  and  he  shall  not  be 
subject  to  charges  nor  held  accountable  to  the  union  for  carrying  out  the 
instructions  of  his  employer. 

8.  'The  trade  associations  and  unions  shall  jointly  maintain  an  appren- 
ticeship system  which  will  provide  an  adequate  force  of  skilled  mechanics 
for  all  trades.  Arbitrary  limitation  and  restriction  of  the  number,  quali- 
fications and  conduct  of  apprentices  shall  not  be  permitted. 

0.  The  members  of  the  unions  shall  not  refuse  to  work  with  men  who 
are  not  members  of  their  organizations  when  the  unions  have  failed  to 
supply   a  sufficient   number  of   competent  mechanics. 

10.  Overtime  shall  not  be  worked,  except  when  unavoidable. 

11.  There  shall  be  no  provision  in  any  trade  agreement  having  for  its 
object  the  collection  of  claims. 

12.  There  shall  be  no  provision  in  any  trade  agreement  which  will 
prevent  the  doing  of  cutting  by  the  trade  which  installs  the  work  for 
which  the  cutting  is  done. 

i;^.  All  trade  agreements  shall  provide  that  laborers  shall  perform  all 
work  which  requires  no  skill. 

14.  All  trade  agreements  shall  provide  that  disputes  between  trades 
and  disputes  relative  to  questions  of  jurisdiction  of  trade  shall  be  adjusted 
in  accordance  with  the  method  set  forth  in  the  joint  arbitration  plan  of 
the  New  York  Building  Trades  as  adopted  on  July  0,  1903.  and  amended

Although  New  York  City  building  trades  employers  have  as 

yet  been  unable  to  affect  a  downward  revision  in  wage  scales 

in    order   to    stimulate   construction    employers'   associations   in 

other  cities  have  been  more  successful.

Builders  Optimistic   Despite  Predicted  Labor  Troubles 

Steady  Increase  in  Projected  Construction  Througliout  Local  Territoiy  Indicated 
by  Figures  of  F'.  W.  Dodge  Company  for  Past  Week 


DESPITE  the  predictions  that  the  building  industry  is  likely 
to  be  halted  by  strikes  unless  labor  will  submit  to  a  revision 
of  wage  scales,  the  architects  and  engineers  in  this  territory 
are  going  ahead  with  plans  for  new  construction  projects  with  the 
apparent  feeling  that  the  dispute  between  employers  and  workers 
will  not  particularly  affect  their  operations.  This  is  true  to  a  con- 
siderable extent,  as  the  major  portion  of  the  new  projects  being 
planned  are  of  the  speculative  type,  including  multi-family  dwellings 
and  a  vast  number  of  small  houses,  and  a  large  percentage  of  the 
total  is  scheduled  for  suburban  locations  where  no  difficulty  pre- 
vails between  labor  and  employers. 

Construction  totals  for  the  thirteenth  week  of  this  year,  cover- 
ing the  territory  including  New  York  State  and  New  Jersey,  north 
of  Trenton,  indicate  a  steady  upward  trend  to  the  general  building 
situation,  and  from  the  amount  of  residential  building  involved  al- 
low the  prediction  of  an  early  solution  of  the  housing  problems  of 
local  communities.  Figures  tabulated  by  the  F.  W.  Dodge  Com- 
pany show  that  during  the  week  a  total  of  897  new  operations  were 
reported  in  the  planning  stage  in  this  territory  and  the  work  will 
involve  a  total  expenditure  of  $36,495,400.  During  the  same  week 
the  contracts  for  new  construction  actually  awarded  numbered  479 
and  represented  a  total  cost  of  $18,223,100. 

Residential   construction  continues  as  the  outstanding  feature  of 


the  building  situation  in  all  communities  in  the  local  territory.  There 
is  .1  steady  increase  in  the  number  of  apartments  and  small  dwell- 
ings being  planned  and  every  likelihood  that  the  number  will  grow 
throughout  the  coming  season. 

The  list  of  897  projects  for  which  plans  were  reported  during 
the  w  eek  of  March  25  to  31,  inclusive,  was  comprised  of  the  follow- 
ing groups :  81  business  operations,  such  as  stores,  offices,  lofts, 
commercial  garages,  etc.,  $2,450,000;  IS  educational  projects  of 
various  types,  $3,012,000;  9  hospitals  and  institutions,  $370,400;  18 
factory  and  other  industrial  buildings,  $723,100;  25  public  works 
and  public  utilities,  $1,279,000;  5  religious  and  memorial  projects, 
$396,000;  734  residential  operations,  including  apartments,  flats  and 
tenements  and  one-  and  two-family  dwellings,  $27,849,900,  and  10 
.social  and  recreational  projects,  $415,000. 

Among  the  479  operations  for  which  contracts  were  awarded 
during  the  thirteenth  week  of  1922  were  61  business  projects  of 
various  types,  $1,841,000;  10  educational  buildings,  $2,483,000;  4 
liospitals  and  institutions,  $939,000;  18  factory  and  industrial  build- 
ings, $989,500;  1  public  building,  $30,000;  20  public  works  and  pub- 
lic utilities,  $1,180,100;  2  religious  and  memorial  structures,  $170,- 
000 ;  358  residential  operations,  including  multi-family  dwellings 
and  one-  and  two-family  houses,  $10,299,500,  and  5  social  and 
recreational  projects,  $291,000.

Ele^^tric   Auto  Shoir 

New  York's  Electric  Motor  Vehicle 
Show  opened  yesterday  in  the  large  main 
floor  room  of  the  New  York  Edison  Com- 
pany, Irving  Place  and  Fifteenth  street. 
Several  new  models  of  both  passenger  and 
commercial  vehicles  were  displayed. 
Heavy  attendance  late  in  the  afternoon 
evidenced  a  wide  interest  in  the  utility 
and  comfortable  service  of  the  electric 
automobile. 

Among  the  exhibits  which  attracted 
particular  attention  were  a  new  model 
taxicab.  a  five-ton  chassis  of  the  Walter 
electric  truck  with  a  novel  differential 
which  prevents  skidding,  and  the  latest 
model  of  the  Walker  truck  with  a  bal- 
anced drive. 

The  first  electric  automobile  ever  driven 
on  the  streets  of  New  York  was  displayed, 
presenting  a  curious  contrast  to  the 
luxurious  passenger  vehicles  of  today. 
The  old  timei'  "was  invented  and  built 
forty  years  ago  by  Leon  Mendel,  who 
resides  at  the  Peter  Stuyvesant  Hotel,  2 
West  Eighty-sixth  street.  He  still  owns 
the  car. 

It  is  a  diminutive  two-passenger  ma- 
chine, mounted  on  three  wheels.  The 
single  rear  wheel  is  the  steering  gear. 
The  front  -wheels  were  propelled  by  a 
direct  drive  motor  attached  to  batteries 
under  the  seat.  Occupied  by  two  young 
ladies,  it  provided  the  amusing  feature  of 
the  show. 

The  new  Steinmetz  truck,  recently  per- 
fected, was  another  interesting  exhibit. 
Other  attractive  displays  were  made  by 
the  Ward,  Lansden  and  O.  B.  Electric 
Companies. 

The  electric  taxicab,  known  as  the 
Electrocar,  accommodates  five  persons  in 
addition  to  the  driver.  It  has  an  operat- 
ing capacity  of  from  sixty  to  seventy 
miles  on  a  single  battery  charge  and  has 
a  simple  system  for  a  rapid  change  of 
batteries. 

The  show  will  remain  open  for  two 
weeks.  Next  week  industrial  trucks  will 
be   shown.

CURRENT    BUILDING    OPERATIONS 


ANNOUNCEMENTS  that  several  large 
building-  projects  had  been  placed 
under  contract  and  that  work  will  be 
started  immediately  have  materially  in- 
creased the  interest  in  the  local  building 
situation.  There  is  a  steadily  growing 
volume  of  work  being  placed  on  the 
schedule  for  the  coming  spring  and  sum- 
mer, and  the  entire  building  industry  of 
the  Metropolitan  district  will  in  all  likeli- 
hood be  pushed  to  capacity  before  the  end 
of  the    current   year, 

There  is  at  present  only  one  retardant 
factor  and  that  is  the  deadlock  between 
the  building  trade  employers  and  union 
workmen  over  a  revision  of  wage  scales. 
Practically  no  progress  was  made  during 
the  past  week  toward  settling  this  diffi- 
culty, and.  although  efforts  are  being 
made  to  get  both  sides  to  agree  to  meet 
In  conference  at  an  early  date  for  a  dis- 
cussion of  the  points  in  dispute,  no  date 
for  this  gathering  has  as  yet  been  selected. 
In  the  meantime  there  is  a  vast  ainount 
of  new  work  coming  out  in  all  sections  of 
the  Metropolitan  district,  some  of  which 
will  naturally  be  held  in  abeyance  until 
the  wage  question  is  settled,  but  the 
major  portion,  however,  including  that 
great  volume  of  speculative  housing  con- 
struction, is  going  ahead  and  practically 
dominating    the    local    building    field. 

■Common  Brick — Although  the  reported 
transactions  in  the  North  River  wliole- 
sale  common  brick  market  were  lighter 
during  the  past  week  than  they  were  for 
the  preceding  Aveek  the  business  of  the 
past  few  days  indicates  a  remarkably 
strong  demand  for  common  brick  and  a 
continuation  of  busy  times  in  the  local 
building  industry  during  the  coming 
months.  Arrivals  were  not  so  numerous 
as  they  were  one  week  ago,  and  the  de- 
mand has  slowed  down  slightly,  but  the 
outlook  is  extremely  favorable  for  active 
market  conditions  for  the  remainder  of 
the  year.  Prices  generally  range  between 
$16  and  $16.50  per  thousand.  There  is 
not  much  brick  available  at  the  lower 
figure,  and  manufacturers  are  inclined  to 
feel  that  the  market  will  exhibit  greater 
strength  as  to  prices  within  the  next 
week  or  so  because  of  the  large  amount 
of  new  construction  being  released.  Brick 
manufacturers  are  perfecting  their  plans 
for  opening  their  plants  for  the  season, 
and  there  are  prospects  that  the  season 
will  start  earlier  than  usual  and  that  the 
1922  production  will  be  considerably 
higher  than  that  of  the  past  few 
seasons. 

Summary — Transactions     in     the     North 
River  common  briclv  market  for  the  week 


ending  Thursday,  April  6,  1922.  Condi- 
tion of  market;  Demand  good;  prices, 
firm  and  unchanged.  Quotations:  Hudson 
Rivers,  $16  to  $16.50  a  thousand  to  dealers 
in  cargo  lots  alongside  dock.  Number  of 
cargoes  arrived,  49;  sales,  48.  Distribu- 
tion: Manhattan.  11;  the  Bronx,  3;  Brook- 
lyn, 26;  New  Jersey  points,  4;  Astoria,  3; 
Yonkers,    1.      Remaining  unsold,   1. 

Lumber — There  has  been  a  marked  im- 
provement in  the  local  lumber  market 
situation  within  the  past  few  weeks,  and, 
according  to  all  reports,  the  spring  buy- 
ing  movement   has   commenced,    and    deal- 


ers in  both  wholesale  and  retail  depart- 
ments of  trade  are  anticipating  active 
weeks  ahead.  The  continuation  of  the 
local  tax  exemption  measure  has  already 
been  reflected  in  increased  buying  by 
speculative  builders  in  the  outlying  sec- 
tions of  the  city  who  have  important  pro- 
grams of  small  house  building  under  way. 
This  work  will  make  heavy  demands  upon 
the  lumber  market  during  the  remainder 
of  the  year,  as  the  majority  of  the  proj- 
ects are  frame  or  a  combination  of  brick 
and  frame  construction.  Lumber  prices 
have  settled  down  and  no  changes  of  con-

be  a  strong  market  throughout  the  re- 
mainder of  the  year,  but  that  prices  will 
not  greatly  advance  over  the  level  pre- 
vailing  at   present. 

Structural  Steel — Commitments  for  fab- 
ricated material  to  be  used  in  the  con- 
struction of  several  important  commer- 
cial building  projects  were  reported  dur- 
ing the  past  week  and  tlie  announcemnt  of 
these  bookings  has  materially  strength- 
ened the  local  market  situation.  Archi- 
tects  have    plans    well    advanced    for    con- 


siderable new  construction  in  which  the 
total  steel  tonnage  requirements  will 
amount  to  a  high  figure,  and  as  a  large 
part  of  this  work  is  likely  to  be  released 
very  soon  the  outlook  for  better  business 
conditions  in  the  steel  market  is  excel- 
lent. Although  the  differences  between 
building  trade  employers  and  labor  are 
still  far  from  settlement,  the  industry  is 
generally  optimistic  and  just  as  soon  as 
the  wage  scale  controversy  is  over  there 
is  certain  to  be  a  decided  improvement 
in  all  lines  of  construction.  Steel  prices 
are    firm    and   fabricated   material,    erected

Electrical  Supplies — The  trend  in  this 
line  is  steadily  upward  and  both  manu- 
facturers and  dealers  are  anticipating  a 
consistent  improvement  in  the  volume  of 
new  business  throughout  the  remainder 
of  the  year.  The  continuation  of  the  lo- 
cal tax  exemption  ordinance  on  residential 
construction  has  brought  out  a  tremendous 
amount  of  new  building  of  this  type  and 
ther  is  every  indication  that  the  next  six 
or  eight  months  will  be  the  busiest  in 
history  from  a  housing  viewpoint.  Wir- 
ing material  sales  have  increased  to  some 
extent  during  the  past  week  and  demand 
for  other  items  is  steady.  Prices  are  un- 
changed and  the  majority  of  local  jobbers 
have  their  stocks  complete  and  ready  for 
any  jump   in  the  trade   requirements. 

Cast  Iron  Pipe — The  market  for  this 
commodity  continues  its  showing  of 
strength  and  manufacturers  are  generally 
confident  that  business  will  grow  steadily 
in  volume  throughout  the  spring  and 
summer  months.  There  is  an  excellent 
outlook  for  a  large  amount  of  new  mu- 
nicipal business  and  more  than  likely  a 
considerable  percentage  of  this  work  will 
be  released  within  the  next  few  weeks. 
Plans  are  well  advanced  and  it  only  re- 
mains for  specifications  to  be  completed 
and  bids  advertised.  Private  buying  con- 
tinues at  a  satisfactory  rate  and  increased 
business  is  also  anticipated  from  this 
source.  Prices  are  slightly  advanced  and 
very  firm,  with  New  York  quotations  as 
follows;  6  in.  and  larger,  $48.80  per  net 
ton;  4  in.  and  5  in.,  $53.80,  and  3  in., 
$63,80.  with  Class  A  and  gas  pipe  $4  ex- 
tra per  ton. 

Window  Glass — The  demand  for  this 
commodity  is  considered  very  good  for 
this  season  of  the  year  and  the  outlook 
for  the  coming  months  is  excellent.  The 
program  of  construction  now  actually  un- 
der way  indicates  that  the  demand  for 
plate  and  window  glass  will  steadily  in- 
crease and  there  are  some  who  are  will- 
ing at  this  early  date  to  predict  a  short- 
age in  glass  before  the  building  season 
ends.  There  is  practically  no  foundation 
tor  predictions  of  this  character  and  there 
are  healthy  reserves  at  the  factories  and 
manufacturers  will  undoubtedly  be  able 
to  keep  ahead  of  their  orders  without  difii- 
culty.     Prices   are   steady   and   unchanged. 

Linseed  Oil — The  market  tor  this  com- 
modity is  exceptionally  dull,  but  jobbers 
are  in  hopes  that  conditions  will  change 
within  the  next  few  weeks  because  of  the 
general  improvement  in  the  building  situ- 
ation. At  present  buyers  are  purchasing 
only   for   immediate   requirements.

To  Whom  it  May  Concern:- 

I  take  great  pleasure  in  voluntarily  tes- 
tifying as  to  the  ability  and  reliability  of 
Mr.  A.  Wilkes,  Decorator  and  Painter, 
who  has  just  completed  a  satisfactory  job 
of  painting  and  re-decorating  of  my  home 
at  196  Shonnard  Terrace,  Yonkers,  N.  Y., 
which  shows  thoroughness,  good  work- 
manship and  artistic  judgment. 

Mr.  Wilkes'  prices  are  reasonable  and 
not  excessive  like  some  who  figured  on 
this  job,  and  instead  of  "cutting  comers" 
and  omitting  details,  I  find  that  he  has 
included  many  small  details,  not  specified, 
in  order  to  give  a  thoroughly  satisfactory 
service  and  effects. 

I  therefore  commend  him  unqualifiedly 
as  a  conscientious  and  dependable  person 
who  can  be  relied  on  to  do  a  first  class 
job  of  painting  or  decorating,  and  will  be 
pleased  to  show  the  work  in  my  home  or 
be  a  reference  for  further  information. 
Yours  very   truly, 

CLARENCE  P.   DAY.

A  Trust  Fund  That 
Cannot  Shrink 


NO.  11 

You  may  ask  why  your  trust  fund  is 
not  just  as  well  off  invested  in  long  term 
bonds  or  in  Government  bonds  as  it  is 
when  invested  under  the  guarantee  of  this 
Company,  that  there  will  be  no  shrinkage 
in    the    amount. 

The  trouble  with  long  term  bonds  is  that 
they  fluctuate  in  price  and  the  same  is 
true  of  Government  and  Municipal  bonds. 
If  you  could  wait  until  their  maturity, 
a  long  time  from  now,  you  would  get  your 
principal  in  full,  but  often  you  must  dis- 
tribute your  trust  funds  when  the  maturity 
of  your  bonds  is  a  long  way  off  and  at  the 
time  of  distribution  they  may  not  be 
worth    what    they    cost. 

We  invest  in  the  Guaranteed  Mortgages 
of  the  Bond  &  Mortgage  Guarantee  Com- 
pany and  the  maturities  are  always  only 
a    short    time    off.

Business   and    Residential    Construction 

So  much  publicity  has  been  accorded  to  both  the  gen- 
eral improvement  in  the  housing  situation  and  to  the 
demands  of  the  Lockwood  Committee  for  additional 
residential  accommodations  in  New  York  City  that  con- 
struction of  this  character  appears  to  be  a  paramount 
issue  at  present.  While  it  is  true  that  the  number  of 
specific  housing  operations  and  the  total  expenditure 
involved  in  projects  of  this  type  largely  dominate  the 
local  building  field,  a  very  significant  fact  in  connection 
with  the  1922  building  season  has  been  overlooked,  if 
not  entirely  disregarded,  because  of  this  apparent  dom- 
ination. 

Many  interested  in  the  local  building"  industry  have 
repeatedly  decried  the  apparent  lack  of  new  commercial 
and  industrial  construction.  They  have  claimed  that 
the  speculative  housing  activity  has  to  a  great  extent 
prevented  other  types  of  operations  from  going  ahead 
according  to  schedule  because  the  speculative  builders 
were  willing  to  pay  premiums  to  labor  and  inflated 
prices  for  materials  and  supplies. 

An  analysis  of  the  building  situation  since  the  begin- 
ning of  the  year,  however,  shows  a  steady  and  con- 
sistent gain  in  the  number  and  value  of  mercantile  pro- 
jects in  this  city.  The  purely  commercial  work  now 
under  contract  represents  a  total  expenditure  which, 
in  any  year  but  one  in  which  residential  building  activ- 
ity was  far  above  normal  in  both  volume  and  value, 
would  have  stood  out  as  an  unusual  period  of  commer- 
cial building  progress. 

An  excellent  idea  of  the  trend  of  commercial  build- 
ing activity  in  Manhattan  may  be  obtained  through  a 
study  of  the  construction  now  actually  under  way  in 
the  relatively-constricted  district  bounded  by  Thirty- 
fourth  and  Fortieth  streets.  Fifth  and  Eighth  avenues. 
A  recent  investigation  shows  that  the  commercial  and 
industrial  buildings  now  being  erected  in  this  section 
may  be  conservatively  estimated  at  a  cost  upward  of 
$20,000,000.  This  total,  however,  represen!ts  only 
about  a  dozen  large  fireproof  ofifice  and  light  manufac- 
turing buildings  under  construction,  and  does  not  take 
into  consideration  a  large  number  of  relatively-small 
projects,  nor  does  it  include  the  alteration  work  which 
is  modernizing  a  number  of  ancient  residential  struc- 
tures for  present-day  commercial  requirements.  Were 
the  cost  of  these  operations  added  to  the  total  cost  of 
the  new  ofifice  and  loft  buildings,  the  amount  of  active 
mercantile  construction  in  this  constricted  territorv 
would  very  likely  exceed  $24,000,000. 

Although  it  is  .admitted  that  this  particular  district 
represents  one  of  the  most  active  areas  in  Greater  New 
York  as  far  as  building  is  concerned,  the  total  amount 
of  industrial  and  commercial  construction  now  under 
way  in  this  city  is  generally  underestimated  even  by 
those  who  are  best  informed  as  to  current  local  build- 
ing conditions.     A   figure   representative   of   the   totnl 


volume  of  mercantile  construction  in  New  York  City 
would  bulk  into  a  very  satisfactory  percentage  were 
the  present  time  not  distinctly  abnormal  because  of  the 
overshadowing  amount  of  active  housing  construction. 
If  it  were  possible  to  eliminate  the  abnormal  housing 
construction  from  consideration  in  a  study  of  local 
building  conditions  those  most  interested  in  the  pro- 
gress of  the  industry  would  realize  that  conditions  are 
not  nearly  so  adverse  as  some  apparently  enjoy  believ- 
ing. 

There  is  yet  great  hope  for  a  busy  and  prosperous 
building  season  in  1922  for  those  who  are  not  particu- 
larly concerned  with  speculative  residential  construc- 
tion. 


Encouraging  Developments 

While  the  coal  strike  hangs  over  the  country  like  a 
pall  of  smoke  from  smoldering  fires,  there  are  so  many 
favorable  symptoms  of  a  return  to  more  healthy  busi- 
ness conditions  throughout  the  country  that  Wall  Street 
refuses  to  take  a  gloomy  view  of  the  general  situation 
and  goes  on  discounting  prosperity  as  if  it  were  a  cer- 
tainty. What  is  sure  is  that  in  quarters  where  business 
is  measured  in  understandable  terms  there  are  well- 
defined  indications  of  better  conditions.  A  Wall  Street 
boom  may  be  predicated,  and  often  is,  on  a  fallacious 
foundation.  But  when  car  loadings  increase  it  means 
that  goods  are  actually  moving  in  greater  quantities, 
and  car  loadings  for  the  week  ending  March  25  were 
159,468  above  the  same  period  in  1921,  and  only  49,351 
less  than  in  1920.  One  good  thing  about  the  increase 
is  that  it  was  confined  to  no  one  locality,  but  was  spread 
all  over  the  country.  Unfilled  orders  in  the  Steel  Cor- 
poration's books  rose  353,079  tons  last  month  when  the 
most  optimistic  would  have  been  satisfied  with  an  in- 
crease of  200,000  tons. 

Marshall  Field  &  Co.  report  a  greater  total  of  orders 
from  road  salesmen  than  for  last  year,  and  more  cus- 
tomers in  market,  with  a  better  retail  trade.  The  local 
merchants  are  delighted  with  the  efifect  of  the  early 
spring  upon  the  seasonal  trade,  and  the  jobbers  are  ex- 
pecting that  the  shelves  will  soon  be  depleted  so  that 
the  wholesale  trade  will  be  favorably  afi'ected.  William 
M.  Wood,  President  of  the  American  Woolen  Company, 
predicts  that  cloths  will  not  be  bought  so  cheaply  as 
now  for  several  years  because  the  stocks  of  cheap  wool 
in  the  country  are  being  rapidly  consumed.  The  woolen 
mills,  he  says,  are  sold  up,  and  working  to  capacity,  with 
worsted  mills  manufacturing  85%  of  their  full  output, 
whicli  is  promising.  Secretary  of  Commerce  Hoover 
points  to  the  increase  in  production  and  in  the  prices 
of  agricultural  products  as  indicative  that  business  im- 
provement is  definite  and  will  be  permanent. 

The  commercial  weathervane  along  the  docks  also 
points  to  fairer  conditions.     There  is  much  less  unem-

ployment  in  shipping  circles,  and  the  Custom  House 
records  for  the  Port  of  New  York,  a  rehable  index  of 
maritime  activity,  show  that  in  March  462  vessels, 
aggregating  1,708,727  net  tons,  entered  from  foreign 
countries,  as  compared  with  414  of  1,548,412  tons  the 
previous  month,  and  reports  clearances  of  484  vessels 
of  1,829,016  net  tons  as  against  391  vessels  of  1,533,163 
tons  in  February.  This  is  a  gain  of  456,168  tons  in 
traffic  overseas. 

These  and  other  underlying  facts  may  account  for 
the  fact  that  there  have  been  more  million-share  days 
so  far  this  year  than  Wall  Street  enjoyed  during  the 
whole  of  1921.  There  is  the  additional  incentive  of  easier 
money,   exemplified   in   the    quick   absorption   of   large 


amounts  of  bonds  of  all  kinds,  including  some  foreign 
loans,  and  in  the  unexpected  lowering  of  the  interest 
rate  on  the  new  issue  of  U.  S.  certificates  to  3j^  per 
cent.,  the  lowest  figure  since  September,  1917.  The 
better  showing  in  the  foreign  exchange  market  reflects 
the  growing  belief  in  the  ultimate  solution  of  interna- 
tional financial  affairs. 

These  factors,  briefly  sketched,  give  occasion  for  more 
confidence  in  the  future,  with  the  added  possibility  that 
Lloyd  George  at  Genoa  will  be  as  successful  in  shaving 
national  extravagances  and  cutting  down  national  bud- 
gets which  will  reduce  the  inflation  that  is  the  greatest 
curse  in  the  business  world  today,  as  Secretary  Hughes 
was  at  the  Washington  Conference. 


Trials  Under  Emergency  Rent  Laws  Clog  Municipal  Courts 


THE  direct  effect  of  the  Emergency  Rent  Laws  on  the  business 
of  the  Municipal  Courts  is  aptly  set  forth  in  a  report  just 
made  by  the  Committee  on  General  Welfare  of  the  Municipal 
Court,  of  which  Edgar  J.  Lauer  is  chairman.  In  summarizing  the 
situation  the  report  declares  that  the  Legislature,  in  seeking  a 
solution  of  the  housing  shortage,  cast  the  burden  upon  the  courts 
of  meeting  the  difficulties  arising  between  landlords  and  tenants 
under  the  working  of  the  new  statutes.  The  tenant,  the  report  says, 
was  practically  invited  to  secure  a  judicial  determination  of  what 
constitutes  "reasonable  rent,"  quite  naturally  creating  a  vast  amount 
of  new  litigation  in  the  courts.  The  report  presents  statistics  for 
the  last  three  years,  showing  the  great  increase  of  cases,  as  follows : 

1919.  1920.  1921. 

Actions    commenced 148,299 

Summary  proceedings  commenced. 


96,623 


172,137         242,218 
74,158         119.127 


Total    actions    and    proceedings.  .   244,922        246,295         361,345 

Trials    23.446  93,299         117,889 

"The  increase  in  the  number  of  actions  and  summary  proceed- 
ings commenced  in  the  year  1921  over  the  preceding  years  1919  and 
1920  is  striking  and  noteworthy,"  the  report  continues.  The  increase 
over  1920  is  115,000  in  round  numbers,  or  in  percentage  47  per  cent., 
and  over  1919  slightly  in  excess  of  the  figures  stated.  Probably  a 
large  proportion  of  this  increase  in  the  volume  of  actions  and  pro- 
ceedings commenced  in  the  Municipal  Court  during  the  year  1921 
is  to  be  ascribed  to  the  so-called  housing  legislation  which  was  en- 
acted by  the  Legislature  at  the  general  and  special  sessions  during 
the  months  of  April  and  September,  1920. 


"The  Municipal  Court  of  the  City  of  New  York,  which  prior  to 
the  enactment  of  the  statutes  had  probably  taken  care  of  fully  95 
per  cent,  of  all  litigation  growing  out  of  the  relation  of  landlord 
and  tenant,  naturally  became  a  court  of  transcendant  public  im- 
portance under  the  new  laws  enacted  by  the  Legislature.  That  the 
Legislature  should  place  the  solution  of  the  difficulties  between 
landlords  and  tenants  upon  the  courts  was  in  itself  a  mark  of  great 
confidence  on  the  part  of  the  Legislature  and  the  public  in  the 
courts.  The  additional  burden  which  the  justices  of  the  Municipal 
Court  have  had  to  shoulder  principally  by  reason  of  this  legisla- 
tion is  manifested  in  the  statistics  of  the  number  of  trials  during 
the  year  1921  when  compared  with  the  number  of  trials  had  during 
the  preceding  years  1919  and  1920.  As  compared  to  the  year  1920, 
the  number  of  trials  for  1921  show  an  increase  of  24,590,  or  some- 
what above  25  per  cent.,  and  an  increase  over  the  number  of  trials 
for  the  year  1919  of  94,443,  or  an  increase  of  over  400  per  cent. 

"On  January  1,  1920,  according  to  recent  census  reports,  the  City 
of  New  York  had  a  population  of  5,620,048.  Of  this  there  were 
1,143,643  married  men  and  1,115,670  married  women.  It  is  perhaps 
a  safe  inference  that  more  than  1,000,000  families  were  lessees  in 
the  City  of  New  York  of  homes  of  one  sort  or  another.  The  sta- 
tistics of  the  volume  of  business  conducted  in  the  court  during  the 
year  1921,  before  referred  to,  demonstrate  in  a  very  concrete  man- 
ner the  immensity  of  the  task  which  this  court  was  called  upon  to 
perform  and  which  it  accomplished,  we  believe,  in  a  manner  gen- 
erally satisfactory." 


500-Mile  Auto  Trip  to  Start  Realtors'  National  Convention 


AN  automobile  trip  of  500  miles  from  Los  Angeles  to  San 
Francisco  will  be  the  opening  feature  of  the  reception  ex- 
tended to  realtors  from  all  over  the  United  States  by  the 
Californians  to  delegates  to  the  annual  convention  of  the  National 
Association  of  Real  Estate  Boards  to  be  held  in  the  Golden  Gate 
City,  May  31  to  June  3  next.  It  is  planned  to  start  a  cavalcade  of 
several  hundred  automobiles,  laden  with  visitors,  their  wives  and 
families,  from  Los  Angeles  on  May  29,  which  will  arrive  in  San 
Francisco  on  May  30,  in  time  for  the  opening  of  the  national  con- 
vention the  next  day.  This  two-day  trip  through  the  heart  of  Cali- 
fornia's most  picturesque  regions,  which  the  Angel  City  realtors 
expect  to  make  significant  of  California  hospitality,  will  be  officially 
known  as  the  realtors'  "End-of-the-Trail"  Caravan. 

There  will  be  entertainments  galore  in  San  Francisco  during  the 
three  days  the  realtors  will  remain  officially  in  the  city,  but  the 
realty  boards  of  Southern  California  are  laying  themselves  out  to 
eclipse  all  the  efforts  of  their  fellow  real  estaters  in  the  metropolis 
of  the  State  in  the  heaping  of  true  Western  friendliness  upon  the 
visitors  by  lavishness  with  which  this  auto  tour  will  be  conducted. 

Representatives  of  the  realty  boards  of  San  Diego,  Riverside, 
San  Bernardino,  Anaheim,  Orange,  Long  Beach  and  other  South- 
land cities  have  been  invited  to  gather  in  Los  Angeles  on  the  morn- 
ing of  May  29  and  give  the  big  caravan  party  a  hearty  send-off. 
The  line  of  travel  will  be  to  Bakersfield,  in  the  center  of  one  of 
the   State's   largest  oil   producing   districts,   where  the  visitors  will 


be  entertained  with  a  barbecue  luncheon  by  the  Bakersfield  Realty 
Board.  The  next  stop  will  be  at  Fresno,  the  famous  grape  center 
of  the  San  Joajuin  Valley,  where  a  special  dinner  will  be  served 
to  the  caravan  sight-seers  by  the  Frtsno  Realty  Board.  This 
promises  to  be  one  of  the  delightful  features  of  the  trip,  and  will 
take  the  visitors  through  oue  of  the  largest  and  most  wonderful 
grape  districts  in  America. 

Refreshed  by  an  over-night  stop  in  Fresno,  the  party  will  next 
morning  journey  'through  Niles  Canyon,  a  region  of  remarkable 
scenery,  passing  through  San  Jose,  a  city  of  unusual  historic  inter- 
est, and  other  Central  California  communities  in  the  afternoon.  The 
route  from  here  on  will  be  over  a  section  of  the  State  Highway 
which  traverses  the  famous  Peninsula  district,  giving  the  cara- 
vaners  an  opportunity  to  see  Palo  Alto,  the  seat  of  Stanford  Uni- 
versity, and  some  of  the  most  beautiful  country  estates  in  that 
part  of  California.  Ten  miles  out  of  San  Francisco,  the  party 
will  be  met  by  an  escort  of  Bay  City  realtors  headed  by  Colbert 
Coldwell,  president  of  the  San  Francisco  Real  Estate  Board,  and 
official  convention  host.  Entry  into  San  Francisco  will  be  by  way 
of  Twin  Peaks,  overlooking  Golden  Gate  Park,  the  Bay  City's 
matchless  playground,  and  the  magnificent  San  Francisco  Bay. 

President  Frank  Ryan  and  the  directors  of  the  Los  Angeles 
Realty  Board  have  put  the  management  of  the  caravan  in  the  hands 
of  a  general  committee,  headed  by  William  May  Garland,  former 
president   of  the  National  Association  of   Real  Estate  Boards.

Miller    Gives    Hearings    on    Housing    Bills 


Governor 

Expresses  Serious  Doubt  as  to  Advisability  of  Measure  Permitting  Insurance 
Companies  to  Engage  in  Speculative  Building 

(Special  to  The  Record  and  Guide) 


Albany,  April  13,  1922. 

GOVERNOR  MILLER'S  comments  at  the  hearing  given 
the  Lockwood  housing  bills  on  Monday  were  construed 
here  to  mean  that  he  would  sign  all  of  the  measures 
excepting  the  so-called  $100,000,000  Metropolitan  Life  Insurance 
bill.  One  remark  made  by  the  Governor  had  more  to  do  with 
creating  the  impression  that  he  intended  to  act  favorably 
upon  all  the  measures,  excepting  the  insurance  investment  pro- 
posal, than  anything  else  said  at  the  hearing.  This  was  uttered 
after  Samuel  Untermyer,  Chief  Counsel  to  the  Lockwood 
Committee,  had  suggested  that  the  Governor  hear  more  from 
the  proponents  of  this  bill. 

"I  think  perhaps  this  is  the  bill  where  you  need  to  say  the 
most,  because  frankly  I  have  more  serious  doubts  about  it  than 
any  of  the  others,"  the  Governor  said. 

Untermyer's  response  to  this  remark  was  that  the  Lockwood 
Committee  regarded  this  "as  the  most  important  of  all  the  bills 
that  have  been  enacted  and  the  one  most  likely  to  do  ;iway 
with  the   housing  shortage." 

Edward  P.  Doyle,  representing  the  Real  Estate  Board  of 
New  York,  had  just  made  the  point  "that  if  the  average  wage 
of  skilled  mechanics  is  $9.00  per  day  you  must  get  $9.00  per 
room  per  month  in  a  tenement  without  service"  and  had  dis- 
cussed the  wage  situation  with  respect  to  building  operations. 
The  Governor  was  listening  attentively  to  Mr.  Doyle  when 
Untermyer  jumped  to  his  feet  asking  for  more  time  for  dis- 
cussion  of  the  measure   by  its   proponents. 

Mr.  Untermyer  opened  the  argument  for  the  Lockwood 
Committee  with  a  statement  to  the  effect  that  the  policy-hold- 
ers of  the  Metropolitan  had  not  protested  against  the  measure 
and   manifestly  were   in   favor   of   it. 

"This  bill  not  only  is  not  mandatory  but  merely  permissive, 
but  it  is  confined  to  the  present  housing  emergency,"  said 
Untermyer. 

"Right    there,"    interjected    the    Governor,    "who    determines 
when  the  emergency  ends?" 
"The  statute  has  determined  it,"  replied  Untermyer. 
"But,    if    they    are    extended,"    the    Governor    commenced. 
"Only  until  February,  1924,"  Untermyer  interrupted. 
"But  this  says  'until  March  1,  1924  or  so  long  thereafter  as 
the    emergency    in    housing    conditions    mentioned'    in    certain 
acts    of    the    Legislature    shall    continue,'"    the    Governor    re- 
plied. 

The  Governor  indicated  that  he  had  in  mind  the  point  made 
by  the  United  States  Supreme  Court  in  sustaining  the  housing 
laws  that  the  power  of  the  Legislature  to  enact  such  drastic 
statutes  as  the  rent  laws  was  contingent  upon  the  existence  of 
a  great  public  emergency.  Sensing  this,  Mr.  Untermyer  said 
the  Lockwood  Committee  felt  that  the  Legislature  was  the 
judge  of  what  constituted  an  emergency  in  the  housing  situa- 
tion and  that  he  believed  this  "legislation  is  only  constitutional, 
is  only  supported  upon  the  theory  of  such  an  emergency." 

Mr.  Untermyer  declared  that  the  Metropolitan  Life  In- 
surance Company  was  ready  to  build  as  soon  as  the  bill  was 
signed.  The  location,  he  said,  had  been  decided  on  for  four 
experimental  blocks  of  twelve  buildings,  each  600x200  feet, 
containing  thirty-six  apartments  or  161  rooms  in  eacli  bui'ding. 
Each  apartment  will  consist  of   four  or   five   rooms   and  bath, 


separately  heated.  Each  block  of  twelve  buildings  will  con- 
tain 432  apartments  or  1,728  apartments  in  the  four  blocks. 
Rentals,  Mr.  Untermyer  declared,  would  not  exceed  $36  per 
month  for  apartments  that  could  not  be  duplicated  at  ruling 
prices  for  $80,  and  the  location  he  declared  to  be  within  i  fif- 
teen-minute  ride  at  a  five  cent  fare  from  Times  Square. 

The  establishment  of  the  policy  permitting  insurance  com- 
panies to  enter  the  building  field  was  attacked  by  Frank  R. 
Howe,  of  the  Queensboro  Corporation.  He  declared  that  the 
investment  of  the  moneys  of  policyholders  in  the  speculative 
enterprise  which  building  has  become  would  raise  a  perilous 
standard  and  might  mean  disaster  to  the  companies.  He  made 
the  flat  assertion  that  under  the  bill  as  drawn  it  would  be 
impossible  to  carry  out  the  Utopian  plan  of  providing  $9.00 
a  month  rooms  and  that  the  entrance  of  insurance  companies 
into  competition  with  legitimate  builders  would  have  the  effect 
of  curtailing  construction  of  dwellings.  Governor  Miller  indi- 
cated that  the  wisdom  of  establishing  this  policy  was  one  of 
the  questions  in  his  mind. 

"This  bill  in  the  first  place,"  said  Mr.  Howe,  "is  against  pub- 
lic policy.  A  principle  that  everybody  recognizes  is  that  it  is 
contrary  to  public  policy  for  an  insurance  company  to  specu- 
late with  the  funds  of  its  policyholders.  The  construction  of 
apartment  houses  and  buildings  is  a  speculative  business.  There 
are  times  when  a  good  lot  of  money  is  made,  but  there  are 
times  when  money  is  lost.  In  any  event  it  is  not  the  proper 
business  for  an  insurance  company  to  carry  on  if  it  is  going 
to  maintain  its  first   duty  of  protecting  its  policyholders." 

Stewart  Browne,  President  of  the  United  Real  Estate  Owners' 
Association,  registered  the  opposition  of  his  organization  to 
the  measure.  After  Senators  Lockwood  and  Dunnigan  had 
spoken  in   favor   of   the  bill,  the   Governor   asked : 

"Has  the  insurance  company  definitely  committed  itself  to 
go  ahead  with   plan?" 

"Not  to   me,"   replied  Senator  Dunnigan. 

"They  have  definitely  committed  themselves  to  the  plan  in 
five  days,"  Mr.  Untermyer  interposed,  but  he  did  not  elaborate 
upon  the  point. 

Frequent  clashes  between  Former  Justice  John  Woodward 
of  the  Appellate  Division  of  the  Supreme  Court  and  Mr. 
Untermyer  punctuated  the  discussion  of  the  rent  law  which 
seeks  to  provide  the  means  of  determining  rent  upon  assessed 
valuation.  It  was  the  contention  of  Judge  Woodward  that 
the  measure  was  unconstitutional  and  unfair  to  the  property- 
owner  and  that  it  contributed  to  a  condition  which  would 
make  it  necessary  for  a  landlord  to  sue  his  tenants  every  year. 
Alexander  C.  McNulty,  counsel  to  the  Real  Sstate  Board  of 
New  York,  attacked  the  bill  proposing  to  extend  the  operation 
of  the  rent  laws  until  February  15,  1924.  He  declared  that  the 
sustention  of  the  law  in  the  courts  was  based  upon  the  exis- 
tence of  an  emergency  at  the  time  it  was  enacted  and  that 
unless  the  Governor,  as  a  factor  in  the  law-making  machinery 
considered  the  emergency  as  still  existing  he  should  disap- 
prove the  measure. 

"There  was  no  evidence  submitted  to  the  Legislature  that  a 
general  housing  shortage  now  e-xists  in  New  York  City,  nor  can 
any  such  evidence  be  furnished  at  this  hearing,"  declared  Mr.

Mr.  Allln  Explains    Title    Examination    and    Insurance 

Counsel  of  Title  Guarantee  and  Trust  Company  Addresses  Y.  M.  C.  A.  Class  on  the 

Intricacies  of  Real  Estate  Law 


SPEAKING  from  his  experience  of  twenty-two  years  as 
a  real  estate  and  title  lawyer,  George  L.  Allin,  Counsel 
of  the  Title  Guarantee  &  Trust  Company,  delivered  a 
lecture  to  the  Real  Estate  Training  Class  of  the  West  Side 
Y.  M.  C.  A.  on  Tuesday  evening,  his  subject  being  "Title  Ex- 
amination and  Title  Insurance."  The  speaker  was  introduced 
by  W.  H.  Wycoff  of  Pease  &  Elliman  and  addressed  the  class 
at  length  analyzing  every  phase  of  the  law  pertaining  to  title 
insurance,  quoted  famous  decisions  of  the  courts  regarding 
property  rights  and  held  the  close  attention  of  his  hearers 
throughout.  Many  questions  were  asked  of  the  speaker  at 
the  close  of  his  lecture  and  he  answered  them  all  satisfac- 
torily. 

"In  an  address  of  this  character,"  Mr.  Allin  said,  "a  lawyer, 
who  is  accustomed  to  legal  verbiage  and  court  dictum,  is  prone 
to  talk  over  the  heads  of  his  audience.  I  will  do  my  best  to 
avoid  that  circumstance  this  evening.  I  will  try  to  dress  my 
thoughts  in  simple  language  and  if  any  of  you  gentlemen  do 
not  fully  grasp  my  meaning  do  not  hesitate  to  ask  me  to  ex- 
plain any  point  I  make,  for  I  may  from  force  of  habit  use  what 
may  appear  to  you  to  be  obtuse  legal  phraseology. 

"At  the  outset  I  wish  to  state  that  all  rules  of  common  law 
pertaining  to  real  estate  are  based  on  the  feudal  laws  of  Eng- 
land. All  of  our  stream  of  principles  governing  real  estate 
flows  from  that  fountain  head.  In  ancient  times  all  land  be- 
longed to  the  king.  He  could  own  or  hold  at  his  pleasure. 
From  him  title  issued  to  everyone  else.  When  the  North 
American  continent  was  settled  and  a  colonial  government  was 
established,  with  various  prerogatives  and  powers,  the  English 
common  law  did  not  apply  in  its  entirety.  In  the  State  of 
New  York,  especially,  titles  passed  from  the  Colonial  Governor, 
or  the  province,  to  certain  individuals  and  were  known  as 
Colonial  grants.  These  titles  still  hold  good  and  numerous 
families  throughout  the  commonwealth  received  them,  many 
of  them  in  Westchester  County  and  on  Long  Island.  Every 
title  to  real  estate,  whether  in  this  city  or  beyond  it,  must  1  e 
traced  back  to  a  Colonial  grant  if  a  complete  chain  is  desired, 
or  to  the  beginning  of  the  operation  of  the  State  of  New 
York,  which  succeeded  provincial  government.  Practically 
every  title  can  be  so  traced.  In  the  part  of  the  Bronx  that  was 
not  originally  part  of  Westchester  County  it  cannot  be  so 
traced.  In  Westchester  County  titles  are  usually  traced  back 
to  the  Commissioner  of  Forfeiture,  who  during  the  Revolution 
had  the  disposal  of  properties  of  families  loyal  to  the  King. 
There  were  many  forfeitures  of  vast  tracts  of  acrea'ge  there  in 
that  era  of  America.  These  parcels  eventually  came  under  the 
ownership  of  the  State  of  New  York,  from  which  new  title 
issues.  Some  of  these  tracts  or  part  of  them  finally  found  their 
way  back  to  the  hands  of  the  pre-war  owners  or  their  descen- 
dants, who  bought  them  from  the  State.  There  is  probably  no 
more  interesting  study  than  title  history."  Continuing,  Mr. 
Allin    said: 

"A  familiar  word  to  real  estate  men  is  the  word  'indenture.'  It  will 
probably  surprise  you  when  I  tell  you  that  the  word  is  now  a  misnomer, 
although  it  is  used  in  evei-y  deed  and  its  constant  misuse  nowadays  has 
all  the  force  ot  correct  usage.  In  early  times,  when  scriveners  drew  up 
all  deeds  they  made  them  in  duplicate  on  a  single  parchment.  They  sep- 
arated them  with  a  sharp-edged  knife  that  they  cut  zig-zag  or  tooth  shape 
at  the  line  of  separation,  thus  making  an  indenture,  from  which  circum- 
stance the  name  of  the  paper  was  derived.  Parchments  are  no  longer 
used,  but  the  ancient  phrase  survives.'  A  legal  phrase  Is  seldom  if  ever 
abandoned.     The  use  of  the  word  'indenture'  is  an  apt   illustration  of  it. 

"There  was  a  time  when  deeds  were  not  recorded.  Think  of  that  I  If 
such  a  condition  of  affairs  existed  now  there  would  be  a  mixture  of 
property  titles  beyond  solution.  Recording  acts  in  New  York  State  were 
enacted  early  in  the  nineteenth  century.  On  Manhattan  Island  they  date 
back  to  early  in  the  seventeenth  century.  The  Holland  Dutchmen  were 
wise  fellows  and  when  they  acquired  a  parcel  of  real  estate  they  made 
sure  they  had  it.  In  the  Borough  of  Richmond  the  recording  of  deeds 
dates  back  only  to  the  year  1812. 

"There  is  an  element  ot  limitation  to  title  insurance.  There  are  lots 
of  things  that  the  insurer  cares  nothing  about  that  the  insured  does  care 
about.  We  avoid  a  mixture  as  between  real  and  personal  property.  For 
example,  bath  tubs,  electric  lighting  fixtures,  hardware,  and  all  the  ac- 
cessories that  go  to  make  a  building  useful  and  livable  are  not  real  estate. 
They  are  personal  holdings.  Consequently  a  title  insurance  company  can- 
not guarantee  the  ownership  of  these.  These  house  and  property  acces- 
sories in  the  past  caused  much  litigation  over  insurance,  but  the  matter 


is  now  well  settled  law  and  owners  of  buildings  are  reconciled  to  the 
fact.  We  only  examine  those  things  that  the  law  itself  defines  as  real 
estate.  If  we  did  not  adhere  to  such  a  hard-and-fast  rule  there  would  be 
no  end  to  what  a  title  insurance  company  would  be  expected  to  guarantee. 

"There  are  three  prime  methods  of  transferring  real  estate: 
by  deed,  by  legal  decisions  and  by  will.  All  of  them  are  evi- 
dence of  transfer,  provided  the  deed  is  recorded,  the  decision 
is  in  effect  and  the  will  is  probated.  Remember  that  the 
delivery  of  deed  is  what  transfers  titles.  Without  the  record- 
ing of  it  no  title  passes.  It  must  pass  during  the. lifetime  of 
the  grantor  or  grantee.  Even  though  it  does  not  and  heirs  de- 
liver it  title  does  not  legally  pass.  Remember  another  thing: 
Death  instantly  revokes  power  of  attorney.  The  law  says  that 
when  a  principal  is  dead  the  power  of  the  agent  dies  with  him. 
The  theory  of  title  is  an  unbroken  chain  of  identification  in 
order  to  prevent  fraud.  The  signature  of  every  notary  public 
and  every  commissioner  of  deeds  is  on  record  in  the  county 
where  he  has  jurisdiction.  So  that  if  he  be  dead  and  years 
later  a  question  arises  as  to  the  authenticity  of  his  signature 
to  a  legal  document  the  evidence  as  the  genuineness  of  the 
signature  is  at  hand.  It  is  only  recently  that  the  law  has 
compelled  this  situation. 

"An  oral  will  is  not  valid  unless  it  be  that  of  a  wounded  and 
dying  soldier  or  sailor.  Wills  in  New  York  State  must  be 
signed,  and  must  always  be  written  except  in  the  emergency 
cases  alluded  to.  The  testator  must  tell  the  witnesses  that 
it  is  his  will.  He  must  request  the  witnesses  to  sign  and 
they  must  so  attest.  A  testator  or  testatrix  is  always  legally 
presumed  to  have  died  intestate  until  his  or  her  will  is  pro- 
bated. There  is  no  guessing  in  the  law  on  this  matter. 
Wherever  a  New  Yorker  may  be,  whether  in  Europe  or  in 
anothei^  state,  he  must  draw  his  will  as  I  have  outlined.  Other- 
wise it  is  invalid.  The  will  of  a  non-resident  in  New  York  is 
good  only  if  it  is  drawn  in  accordance  with  the  laws  of  the 
state  of  his  domicile.  It  must  be  in  his  handwriting.  The 
courts  hold  very  close  in  their  construction  of  law  in  all  mat- 
ters pertaining  to  property.  It  is  well  th^it  they  do.  Often 
the  rights  of  lunatics,  infants,  invalids  and  dower  are  in- 
volved. This  also  applies  to  leases,  mortgages  and  deeds. 
So  always  have  a  care  in  the  execution  of  them.  A  contract  of 
sale  should  never  be  made  until  after  reports  of  referees, 
accountings  of  guardians,  the  testimony  of  expert  witnesses 
and  the  reports  of  committees  of  lunatics  have  been  made, 
provided  any  such  matters  are  involved.  If  the  deed  to  prop- 
erty outside  the  state  is  not  entitled  to  be  recorded  here  then 
it  is  not  legally  recorded.  A  deed  made  abroad  and  conveying 
property  in  this  country  should  never  be  made  without  attesta- 
tion by  the  Mayor  of  the  city  in  which  it  is  made  or  in  the 
presence  of  an  American  Consul  or  some  other  official  of 
consequence.  In  other  words  all  doubt  of  its  genuineness  must 
be   removed. 

Questions  regarding  the  Torrens  law  were  put  to  ]\Ir.  Allin 
by  several  of  his  hearers.  He  replied:  "As  a  title  insurance 
lawyer  I  expected  that.  I  will  say  that  the  Torrens'  system  is 
now  complete  in  this  state.  The  County  Clerks  or  Registers 
have  as  complete  a  chain  of  title  to  parcels  of  real  estate  in 
this  city  as  the  title  companies  have.  You  or  anyone  else 
can  find  a  chain  of  title.  The  utility  of  the  system  in  most 
cases,  however,  has  not  been  demonstrated.  The  title  com- 
panies save  a  property-owner  much  time  and  drudgery  in 
almost  every  case.  In  the  conveyance  of  real  estate  many 
questions  often  arise;  questions  regarding  lis  pendens,  specific 
liens,  state  and  federal  inheritance  taxes,  bankruptcy  troubles, 
corporation  franchise  taxes,  surveys,  forgery,  lunacy,  imper- 
sonation and  what  not.  Here  is  where  the  value  of  title  in- 
surance appears.  There  is  nothing  in  the  Torrens'  system  to 
insure  you  against  any  or  all  of  these  things.  I  will  sum- 
marize it  by  saying  that  title  insurance  guarantees  a  buyer 
against  a  past  fact  while  the  Torrens'  system  insures  you  only 
against  future  certainties  and  liabilities."

Activity    in    Mercantile    Building    in    Midtown    Section 

Many  Fine  Structures  Now  Under  Way  in  Districts  Between  Fifth  and  Eiglith 
Avenues  From  Thirty-fourtli  to  Fortieth  Streets 


A  STUDY  of  the  building  activity  at  present  under  way 
in  the  mid-town  district  of  Manhattan  is  probably  the 
bi'st  method  of  dispelling  the  impression  prevailing  in 
the  minds  of  many  interested  in  the  construction  industry 
that  residential  building  has  dominated  the  local  field  to  the 
extent  of  eliminating  practically  all  other  kinds  of  project. 
For  many  months  past  builders  and  their  affiliated  interests 
who  are  not  concerned  with  the  usual  type  of  speculative 
housing  operations  have  decried  an  apparent  lack  of  mercan- 
tile construction  that  has  curtailed  their  opportunities  for 
profitable  business.  It  is  only  because  the  volume  of  residen- 
tial construction  now  active  in  this  city  is  abnormally  out  of 
scale  that  this  feeling  exists  as  there  is  a  tremendous  amount 
of  high  class  commercial  and  industrial  building  now  actually 
in  progress  and  infinitely  more  scheduled  for  a  start  in  the 
near  future. 

A  very  definite  idea  of  the  scope  of  the  mercantile  building 
now  in  progress  may  be  obtained  from  an  analysis  of  this 
activity  in  the  district  bounded  by  Thirty-fourth  and  Fortieth 
Streets,  Fifth  and  Eighth  Avenues.  An  investigation  made  by 
The  Record  and  Guide  shows  that  within  the  bounds  of  this 
area  a  sum  of  approximately  $20,000,000  is  at  present  being 
expended  for  commercial  projects  of  one  type  or  another.  This 
amount  only  represents  the  total  cost  of  about  a  dozen  modern 
fireproof  office,  loft  and  light  manufacturing  structures  and 
does  not  take  into  consideration  several  smaller  operations 
involving  new  Buildings  nor  does  it  include  the  large  amount 
of  extensive  alteration  work  which  is  transforming  ancient 
residences  into  business  structures.  There  is  little  doubt  that 
if  the  total  cost  of  all  commercial  and  industrial  construction 
now  under  way  in  this  district  were  added  that  the  expenditure 
would   involve   upward   of   $24,000,000. 

Although  this  section  of  the  borough  is  particularly  active 
from  a  construction  standpoint,  and  the  total  for  a  limited 
area  was  only  exceeded  two  years  ago  when  the  group  of 
large  office  buildings  was  erected  in  the  Grand  Central  Ter- 
minal Zone,  there  is  scattered  throughout  Greater  New  York 
a  large  amount  of  building  operations  for  commercial  and 
industrial  occupancy  the  number  and  total  cost  of  which  would 
represent  a  very  satisfactory  percentage  in  any  normal  build- 
ing year  in  which  the  tremendous  volume  of  residential  con- 
struction did  not  overshadow  the  combined  totals  of  all  other 
types   of  project. 

In  the  mid-town  district  of  Manhattan  there  are  now  under- 
way several  imposing  banking  buildings,  a  department  store 
addition  of  unusual  size  and  a  group  of  modern  fireproof  of- 
fice,  loft   and   light    manufacturing   buildings. 

Contracts  have  been  awarded  and  the  site  is  being  prepared 
for  the  erection  of  an  eighteen-story  addition  to  the  department 
store  of  R.  H.  Macy  &  Co.  This  structure  will  occupy  149  to 
159  West  Thirty-fourth  Street,  through  to  148  to  156  West 
Thirty-fifth  Street.  The  building  will  be  constructed  accord- 
ing to  plans  by  R.  D.  Kohn  under  a  general  contract  awarded 
to  Marc  Eidlitz  &  Son.  The  cost  is  said  to  exceed  $4,500,000. 
The  steel  contract  for  this  structure,  awarded  to  Levering  & 
Garrigues,  involves  a  total  of  8,200  tons  of  fabricated  material 
and  it  is  said  to  be  the  largest  single  contract  for  structural 
steel  awarded  since  the  Equitable  Building  was  constructed 
about  ten  years  ago. 

Wrecking  contractors  are  demolishing  the  old  building.;  on 
the  site  of  the  new  building  for  the  North  River  Savings  Bank 
which  will  be  located  at  206  to  212  West  Thirty-fourth  Street. 
This  building  will  be  two  stories  in  height  and  will  cost 
nearly  $200,000.  The  structure  was  designed  by  Charles  E. 
Birge,  architect,  and  is  being  erected  under  a  general  contract 
by  the   Clough-Bourne   Corporation. 

Foundations  are  under  construction  for  a  twelve-story  store

tion represents  an  expenditure  of  approximately  $1,000,000  and 
is  being  erected  from  plans  by  Buchman  &  Kahn,  architects. 
The  contractors  are  G.  Richard  Davis  &  Co.  This  building  is

on  the  new  banking  building  to  be  located  in  the  north  side  of 
Thirty-sixth  Street  from  Broadway  to  Sixth  Avenue.  This 
structure  is  for  the  Greenwich  Savings  Bank  and  it  will  be 
erected  according  to  designs  by  York  &  Sawyer.  The  general 
contractor  is  Marc  Eidlitz  &  Son,  who  have  already  placed 
contracts  for  wrecking  and  other  subs.  The  cost  is  approxi- 
mately $500,000. 

Foundation  work  is  under  way  for  a  fourteen-story  office  and 
showroom  building  at  132  to  138  West  Thirty-sixth  Street, 
through  to  139  to  145  West  Thirty-fifth  Street.  This  building 
is  being  erected  at  a  cost  of  more  than  $2,000,000  by  a  corpora- 
tion in  which  E.  Morrill  Banner  and  Herbert  H.  Mitler  are  in- 
terested. The  plans  were  prepared  by  Robert  T.  Lyons  and 
the  structural  engineer  is  Robert  E.  Moss.  No  general  contract 
was  awarded  on  this  operation  and  the  owners  are  letting 
separate   contracts   as   the   work   proceeds. 

The  work  of  erecting  the  structural  steel  skeleton  is  pro-

Aldermen  Pass  Ordinance  Requiring  Outside  Gas  Cut-offs 

Measure  Which  Real  Estate  Board  Estimates  Will  Cost  Taxpayers  $25,000,000 
Now  Before  Maylor  Hylan  for  His  Approval 


AN  ordinance  requiring  the  installation  of  gas  cut-offs 
outside  all  buildings  now  or  hereafter  constructed,  ex- 
cepting private  dwellings  and  two-family  houses,  was 
passed  by  the  Board  of  Aldermen  on  last  Tuesday  by  a  vote 
of  38  to  13.  Mayor  Hylan  now  has  the  measure  under  consid- 
eration. 

Fire  Chief  John  Kenlori  is  largely  responsible  for  the  meas- 
ure, which  was  introduced  in  the  Board  of  Aldermen  at  the 
request  of  the  Board  of  Standards  and  Appeals  on  the  recom- 
mendation of  the  city's  fire  chief,  who  stated  that  if  cut-offs 
were  outside  instead  of  inside  buildings,  as  they  now  are,  many 
lives  would  be  saved  in  fires  and  in  accidents  to  partly  wrecked 
buildings. 

Alderman  Stephen  A.  Rudd,  of  Brooklyn,  said  there  was  an 
ordinance  at  present  requiring  gas  companies  to  put  in  gas 
cut-offs  in  convenient  and  accessible  places  on  buildings,  and 
he  wanted  to  know  why  the  burden  should  be  passed  to  prop- 
erty owners  and  taxpayers.  Chief  Kenlon  said  the  present 
cut-off  was  under  the  sidewalk  and  that  many  times  the  box  to 
the  cut-off  could  not  be  located  readily. 

Alderman  Falconer  said  it  would  be  an  easy  matter  for  bur- 
glars to  shut  off  the  gas.  He  said  it  would  encourage  the 
present  lawless  condition  in  the  city  and  increase  the  crime 
wave. 

The  proposed  cut-off  is  to  be  opened  by  a  key  that  every 
officer  of  a  fire   company  must  carry. 

Representatives  of  the  Real  Estate  Board  of  New  York  sub- 
mitted figures  to  show  that  there  were  now  about  450,000 
buildings  in  the  city.  If  200,000  one  and  two-family  dwellings 
were  exempted  from  the  provisions  of  the  ordinance  there 
would  still  be  250,000  buildings  in  which  the  device  must  be 
installed.  In  a  communication  to  the  Board  of  Aldermen  the 
Real  Sstate   Board  says  : 

"No  civic  organization  should  oppose  any  measure  that  safe- 
guards human  life  merely  because  of  its  cost  but  when  an 
expense  of  approximately  $50,000,000  by  property  owners  is 
made  mandatory  its  proponents  should  be  compelled  to  prove 


absolutely  beyond  question  that  such  will  be  the  result.  The 
proposed  device,  which  is  patented,  and  which  has  been  ap- 
proved by  the  Board  of  Standards  and  Appeals,  will  cost  from 
$65  to  $180,  in  addition  to  the  cost  of  making  the  necessary 
changes  in  the  gas  pipes  and  in  the  building.  If  dwellings  are 
exempted  there  still  remain  250,000  buildings  to  be  equipped 
at  an  average  cost  at  least  of  $100.  This  would  total  $25,000,- 
000  to  be  paid  by  the  owners  or  passed  on  to  the  tenant.  The 
Real  Estate  Board  ask  for  further  consideration  of  so  im- 
portant an  ordinance  and  urged  that  excessive  haste  was  not 
necessary. 

"The  Committee  on  Building  Laws  and  Regulations  of  the 
Board  adopted  the  following  resolutions  which  clearly  indicate 
that  the  ordinance  is  not  opposed  on  the  score  of  expense  but, 
that  if  the  remedy  desired  is  essential,  other  forms  of  equip- 
ment  should  be   provided: 

We  oppose  installation  of  automatic  mechanism. 

We  oppose  application  of  the  proposed  ordinance  to  present  huildings, 
even   if  manually  operated. 

We  favor  a  gas  cut-off  on  the  outside  of  buildings  in  a  location  more 
readily  accessible  than  as  required  by  the  present  ordinance  and  by  Sec- 
tion 001  of  the  Building  Code  as  far  as  it  affects  new  buildings. 

That  the  equipment  of  the  Rescue  Squad  of  the  Fire  Department,  in 
relation  to  gas  masks,  be  extended  to  include  approved  apparatus  to  meet 
the  danger  from  all  gases,  and  extended  also  to  the  whole  department ; 
and  that  a  sufficient  appropriation  be  made  for  this  purpose. 

Stewart  Browne,  President  of  the  United  Real  Estate  Owners' 
Association,  wrote  to  the  Aldermen  : 

"There  has  been  no  investigation  whatever  by  the  Board  of 
Standards  and  Appeals  or  by  your  Building  Committee  as  to 
the  demerits  of  the  'old  valve'  and  the  merits  of  the  proposed 
automatic  valve. 

"The  New  York  Fire  Insurance  Exchange,  at  the  urgent  re- 
quest of  Chief  Kenlon  and  without  the  slightest  investigation 
did  agree  to  make  a  reduction  of  1  per  cent,  on  the  fire  in- 
surance rates  on  buildings  having  such  proposed  cut-off  valve. 
This  is  not  1  per  cent,  deduction  on  net  rate  and  would  prob- 
ably amount  to  less  than  one-half  of  1  per  cent,  of  the  net 
rate.  The  companies  can  afford  to  do  this  as  the  rates  are  now 
too  high.  The  Exchange,  however,  is  opposed  to  any  .uto- 
matic  valve,   regarding   it   as   dangerous."

proximately $400,000. 

Excavation  work  is  in  progress  at  1364  to  1370  Broadway, 
at  the  southeast  corner  of  Thirty-seventh  Street,  where  a  six- 
teen-story store  and  office  building  will  be  erected  by  Harry 
Fischel,  et  al.  This  building  has  been  designed  by  Sommerfeld 
&  Steckler,  architects,  and  Charles  Mayer  is  the  consulting 
engineer.     The  cost  of  construction  is  placed  at  $750,000. 

Foundations  have  been  started  for  the  fourteen-story  light 
manufacturing  and  loft  building  at  HI  to  239  West  Thirty- 
seventh  Street,  which  is  being  constructed  by  Lefcourt  &  Haas, 
owners  and  builders,  from  plans  by  George  &  Edward  Blum, 
architects.  This  work  will  involve  an  outlay  of  nearly  $350,- 
000  for  construction.  Practically  all  sub-contracts  have  been 
awarded  and  work  will  be  pushed  in  order  to  have  tlie  building 
completed   and  ready  for  occupancy   early  in   1923. 

At  244  to  250  West  Thirty-eighth  Street,  Lefcourt  &  Haas, 
are  excavating  the  site  for  a  fourteen-story  loft  building  to 
cost    about    $500,000.      This    structure    was    also    designed    by 


George  &  Edward  Blum  and  Charles  Mayer  is  the  consu'ting 
engineer. 

Excavating  contractors  are  preparing  the  site  at  209  to  223 
West  Thirty-ninth  Street  through  to  206  to  214  West  Fortieth

Review  of  Real  Estate  Market  for  the   Current  Week 


Business  in  the  Bronx  Was  Strong,  While    Dealing   in   Manhattan   Was   Well 

Distributed  in  All  Kinds  of  Properties 


THIS  was  a  good  week  in  real  estate.  The  Bronx  led  all 
the  boroughs  in  the  volume  of  dealing.  It  embraced  all 
kinds  of  property  from  shore  front  to  tenement  houses. 
Most  of  the  dealing  was  in  one  and  two-family  houses.  It  is 
only  a  few  months  ago  that  vacant  land  was  the  predominating 
selling  quantity  in   the   northerly  borough. 

The  character  of  selling  in  Manhattan  was  various  and 
substantial.  There  were  some  large  operations  in  multi-family 
houses  in  the  northern  parts  of  the  borough.  Elevator  and 
walk-up  buildings  were  in  equally  good  demand.  Prominent 
among  many  good  sales  was  that  of  the  southwest  corner  of 
West  End  Avenue  and  99th  Street,  held  at  $1,000,000.  A  coal 
firm  bought  property  at  the  foot  of  East  56th  Street,  with 
riparian  rights.  There  were  numerous  apartment  house  sales 
ranging  from  $200,000  to  $500,000  in  price.  All  parts  of  the  bor- 
ough figured  in  the  dealing.  Here  and  there  was  a  transaction 
where   other   property  was  given   in   part   payment. 

A  transaction  that  shared  attention  with  others  was  that  of 
a  63-years'  lease  of  the  northeast  corner  of  Seventh  Avenue 
and  37th  Street.  It  involves  an  option  of  purchase,  the  plot 
being  100x244.  It  represents  an  aggregate  investment  of 
$8,000,000.  The  syndicate  that  leased  the  plot  plans  a  distinc- 
tive improvement  there.  West  S7th  street  loomed  strong  with 
a  long  lease  by  the  O'Neill  estate  to  the  Mechanics  &  Metals 


National  Bank.  Another  subject  of  comment  was  the  sale 
of  the  5-story  building,  1424  Broadway,  which  has  long  been 
occupied  by  Browne's  Chop  House.  The  holding  price  of  this 
property  was  $275,000. 

Numerous  parcels  of  variegated  character  on  Lexington 
and  on  Park  Avenues  changed  hands.  The  sites  of  some  of 
them  will  be  reimproved  with  more  modern  buildings  and 
others  will  be  remodeled  for  business  and  apartment  pur- 
poses. There  were  some  sales  on  West  End  Avenue.  The 
sale  of  538  West  S3d  Street  was  of  more  than  passing  inter- 
est. It  is  a  business  building  that  has  been  occupied  by  one 
tenant  for  28  years  and  he  proved  to  be  the  buyer. 

There  was  a  strong  demand  for  dwellings  for  occupancy 
by  the  purchasers.  The  circumstance  gives  investment  tone 
to  the  market.  A  feature  of  the  week  was  the  selling  of  nu- 
merous corner  properties  of  various  kinds.  The  movement  in 
Park  Avenue  property  seems  to  be  gaining  impetus.  Some 
sales  of  old  buildings  in  the  finer  apartment  house  section  of 
the  thoroughfare  changed  hands  and  more  modern  apartment 
houses  will  be  witnessed  in  the  avenue  within  the  year.  It 
was  disclosed  during  the  week  that  Marshall  Field  is  the  buyer 
of   34-38   Wall   Street,   adjoining   the    Federal   Assay   office. 

The  lower  mercantile  section  of  the  city  produced  some 
good  sales  and  some  good  leases  as  well. 


PRIVATE  REALTY  SALES. 


THE  total  number  of  sales  reported  but  not 
recorded  in  Manhattan  this  week,  was  82 
as  against  S!>  last  week  and  Itil  a  year  ago. 

The  number  of  sales  south  of  ullth  st  was  14 
as  compared  with  yi  last  week  and  08  a  year 
ago. 

The  number  of  sales  north  of  o9th  st  was  68 
as  compared  with  58  last  week  and  63  a  year 
ago. 

From  the  Bronx  85  sales  at  private  contract 
were  reported,  as  against  33  last  week  and  41 
a  year  ago. 

Statistical  tatles,  including  the  number  of  re- 
corded  instruments,  will  be  found  on  page  467.

Early  Settlement  in  Building  Wage  Dispute  Foreshadowed 

Representatives  of  Building  Employers  and  Unions  Met  Tuesday  to  Consider 
Basis  for  New  Agreement  for  the  Remainder  of  the  Year 


AFTER  several  months  of  delay  and  doubt  which  were 
punctuated  by  charges,  counter  charges  and  disputes 
there  is  now  strong  likelihood  that  the  differences  be- 
tween the  organized  employers  in  the  building  industry  of 
this  city  and  the  union  workmen  will  shortly  be  settled,  at 
least  for  the  remainder  of  the  current  year.  The  local  building 
industry  has  been  operating  since  January  1  without  an  agree- 
ment between  employers  and  employes.  The  old  agreement 
expired  on  December  31,  1921,  and  since  last  autumn  represen- 
tatives of  both  sides  have  been  unable  to  agree  upon  a  basis 
for  a   new  agreement. 

During  the  early  part  of  this  year  conditions  became  so 
serious  and  so  much  work  was  being  held  in  abeyance  because 
of  doubt  as  to  future  building  trade  wages  that  the  Public 
Group  Committee,  under  the  chairmanship  of  Walter  Stab- 
ler, was  formed,  and  it  is  largely  through  the  efforts  of  this 
committee  that  it  is  now  possible  to  predict  a  speedy  settle- 
ment of  the  outstanding  differences  between  workmen  and 
employers  which  will  carry  with  it  an  agreement  on  wages  for 
the  balance  of  the  calendar  year. 

Several  weeks  ago  the  Public  Group  Committee  practically 
despaired  of  getting  the  Building  Trades  Employers'  Associa- 
tion and  the  Building  Trades'  Council  together  for  a  discussion 
of  their  differences.  Both  sides  admitted  their  willingness  to 
meet  provided  certain  conditions  were  complied  with,  but  as 
neither  the  employers  nor  the  union  representatives  were  will- 
ing to  recognize  the  justice  of  the  other's  conditions  it  ap- 
peared for  a  time  as  though  the  local  building  industry  was 
destined  for  a  season  of  strikes  and  other  labor  troubles  that 
in  a  large  measure  would  offset  the  opportunities  offered  by 
the  vast  amount  of  construction  already  planned  and  waiting 
for  a  start. 

As  a  result  of  a  final  effort  of  the  Public  Group  Committee, 
however,  the  Executive  Committees  of  the  Building  Trades 
Employers'  Association  and  the  Building  Trades'  Council  met 
in  secret  in  the  Metropolitan  Tower  on  Tuesday  afternoon  of 
this  week  for  a  discussion  of  their  outstanding  grievances. 
Although  the  meeting  was  planned  and  arranged  by  the  Public 
Group  Committee  it  had  no  representation  and  the  gathering 
was  solely  for  a  free  and  unhampered  discussion  of  the  various 
points  in  dispute  between  the  employers  and  the  workmen  in 
the  various  trades. 

The  discussion  on  Tuesday  afternoon,  lasting  more  than 
three  hours,  involved  the  general  building  situation  and  the 
proposed  new  agreement  on  wages  and  working  conditions. 
Neither  C.  G.  Norman,  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Governors 
of  the  Building  Trades  Employers'  Association,  nor  Patrick 
Crowley.  President  of  the  Building  Trades'  Council,  would  say 
anything  about  the  meeting  for  publication  except  that  the 
gathering  was  harmonious  in  every  respect  and  that  the  out- 
look for  a  definite  settlement  of  the  building  trades  dispute 
in   the  very  near   future  appeared  hopeful. 

Local  building  interests,  particularly  those  who  are  not  con- 
cerned definitely  with  speculative  construction,  are  consider- 
ably encouraged  by  the  turn  of  events  of  the  past  week.  Al- 
though no  information  is  obtainable  as  to  the  proceedings  of 
the  joint  meeting  between  the  representatives  of  labor  and  ihi- 
employers,  the  announcement  from  the  leaders  on  both  side-; 
that   tlie   discussion   was   carried  on    in   complete   harmony    Iki^ 


created  a  general  feeling  that  within  a  short  time  the  differ- 
ences will  have  become  a  thing  of  the  past  and  that  the  industry 
will  be  in  a  position  to  proceed  with  its  program  for  this  season 
without  doubt  as  to  the  possibility  of  strikes  and  other  adverse 
labor  conditions. 

Just  what  will  be  the  basis  of  a  new  agreement  no  one  in  the 
building  industry  will  even  hazard  a  guess.  All  agree,  how- 
ever, that  any  settlement  will  be  infinitely  better  than  the 
conditions  prevailing  today  and  whatever  is  accomplished  dur- 
ing the  conference  to  follow  will  be  for  the  ultimate  benefit  of 
the   building  industry   in  New  York   City. 

While  there  is  an  excellent  possibility  that  local  building 
labor  conditions  will  shortly  be  vastly  improved  by  a  settle- 
ment of  the  dispute  between  employers  and  unions,  there  are 
several  important  communities  up-state  -that  at  present  are 
involved  in  difficulties  with  building  labor.  In  a  number  of  in- 
stances employers  have  sought  to  further  reduce  building  labor 
costs  and  the  workmen  are  replying  to  these  suggestions  of 
lower  wages  with  threats  of  strikes. 

It  was  recently  reported  from  Syracuse  that  there  may  be 
no  further  wage  reductions  in  the  building  trades  this  year. 
Following  the  declaration  for  open  shop  for  lathers  at  90 
cents  an  hour  by  the  Syracuse  Builders'  Exchange  on  April 
1,  only  three  trades  are  left  in  that  city  whose  wages  hav»  not 
been  considered  by  the  employers.  These  are  the  plumbers, 
at  $1  per  hour,  electricians  at  $1  an  hour  and  structural  iron- 
workers at  $1.06J4  an  hour.  The  employers  have  generally 
conceded  that  the  plumbers  will  not  be  asked  to  take  a  reduc- 
tion for  the  remainder  of  the  current  year.  Some  time  ago 
the  electrical  contractors  asked  the  electricians  to  accept  a 
voluntary  reduction  to  90  cents  an  hour,  but  since  this  was 
refused  by  the  workmen  no  further  action  has  been  taken. 
The  Syracuse  Builders'  Exchange  has  not  yet  asked  the  struc- 
tural ironworkers  to  take  a  wage  reduction  to  $1  per  hour,  as 
was   considered  some   time  ago. 

Much  active  construction  is  being  held  up  in  Niagara  Falls 
because  the  building  trades  employes  recently  refused  to  ac- 
cept a  cut  in  wages  of  from  10  to  IS  cents  an  hour.  Brick- 
layers, carpenters,  plasterers  and  painters  there  went  out  on 
strike  early  this  month  rather  than  submit  to  the  proposed 
reduction,  and  it  is  claimed  that  approximately  1,000  workmen 
are  idle  in  that  city  as  a  result  of  the  strike.  The  annual  wage 
agreement  between  the  employers  and  the  unions  expired  on 
March  31  and  no  new  agreement  was  made,  but  when  the 
workmen  reported  on  April  1  they  were  informed  that  iheir 
wages  were  to  be  reduced  by  the  employers.  The  members  of 
the  Niagara  Falls  Master  Builders'  Association  have  absolutely 
refused  to  deal  with  the  local  Building  Trades'  Council  in 
regard  to  the  strike  conditions.  After  a  recent  meeting  of  the 
employers  they  announced  it  to  be  their  intention  to  deal  direct 
with  the  individual  unions  in  future  and  refuse  to  have  anything 
to  do  with  the  Council,  which  the  employers  declare,  does  not 
properly  represent  the  building  trades'  unions  in  Niagara  Falls. 
Officers  of  the  building  trades'  unions  of  Glens  Falls  have 
announced  that  there  will  be  no  change  in  the  wages  of  the 
members  of  their  respective  unions  during  the  remainder  of 
this  year.  The  agreement  between  the  local  unions  and  em- 
ployers also  expired  on  March  31  but  the  employers  have  not 
proposed  a  downward  revision  of  wage  scales  and  the  unions 
are  not  asking  for  any  increase  above  the  prevailing  scales.

RECORD    AND    GUIDE 

Governor  Miller  Gives  Hearings  on  Housing  Bills 


April  IS,  1922 


(Continued  from  page  455) 
McNuIty.  "On  the  contrary,  statistics  quoted  in  the  reports 
of  the  Joint  Legislative  Housing  Committee  demonstrate  that 
accommodations  for  thousands  of  families  have  been  added 
to  the  metropolitan  housing  supply  since  the  enactment  of  the 
rent  laws.  While  tax  exemption  has  not  added  a  single  flat 
to  the  supply  of  living  quarters  within  the  means  of  the  tenant 
masses,  it  has  so  stimulated  the  construction  of  housing  for 
the  rich  and  well-to-do  that  there  is  now  a  glut  in  the  market 
for  high-class  apartments,  as  the  advertising  columns  of  the 
New  York  newspapers  of  the  day  disclose. 

"It  may  be  urged  that  the  Governor's  disapproval  of  this  bill 
will  necessitate  an  Extraordinary  Session  of  the  Legislature  to 
provide  an  acceptable  substitute  for  the  rejected  measure. 
What  if  it  does?  Certainly  the  integrity  of  a  solemn  legisla- 
tive act  of  the  State  is  of  more  public  importance  than  the 
money  cost  of  its  rectification  or  even  the  personal  incon- 
venience of  members  of  the  Legislature.  There  should  be  some 
penalty  for  slipshod,  makeshift  legislation  that  is  not  paid  by 
its  victims." 

Edward  P.  Doyle,  in  answer  to  Senator  Tolbert,  who  claimed 
that  75  per  cent,  of  the  rent  litigation  tried  and  pending  in 
New  York  City  was  directly  attributable  to  "profiteering  and 
gouging  landlords,"  declared  that  the  very  nature  of  the  rent 
laws  created  this  litigation.  He  declared  that  the  statement 
of  the  proponents  of  this  legislation  that  landlords  were  en- 
tirely responsible  for  the  myriad  of  court  actions  to  determine 
rentals  and  adjudicate  rights  was  ridiculous.  This  legislation, 
he  said,  was  so  framed  as  to  promote  continuous  and  volu- 
minous litigation  between  landlord  and  tenant. 

When  the  Governor  called  for  a  discussion  of  the  bill  permit- 
ting New  York  City  to  act  upon  its  own  initiative  in  cases  of 
default   upon   public   contracts   there  was   no   response. 

State  Superintendent  of  Insurance  Stoddard  gave  his  support 
to  the  measure  enlarging  the  fire  insurance  rate  regulating 
powers  of  his  department.  He  said  the  bill  was  drafted  in  the 
interest  of  lower  rates  and  greater  protection  for  the  insured. 
Mr.  Untermyer  was  not  so  vigorous  in  his  support  of  this 
measure  as  of  the  others.  He  told  the  Governor  that  it  was  so 
frequently  amended  during  its  course  through  the  Legislature 
that  he  did  not  know  exactly  the  purpose  of  its  provisio'is. 

Several  representatives  of  smaller  New  York  insurance  com- 
panies opposed  the  bill  on  the  ground  that  it  would  force  them 
to  make  larger  expenditures  to  conduct  their  business  and 
would  have  the  effect  of  wiping  a  number  of  them  out  of 
business.  David  Rumsey,  of  the  National  Board  of  Fire  In- 
surance Underwriters,  told  the  Governor  that  the  matter  had 
not  been  given  sufficient  consideration  and  that  it  would  be 
wise  to  postpone  action  on  the  bill  for  another  year  in  which 
time  investigation  could  be  made. 

Governor  Miller  for  several  hours  on  Saturday  last  listened 
to  arguments  upon  the  Gibbs-McWhinney  bill  regulating  and 
licensing    the    business    of    real    estate    brokers    and    salesmen. 


The  hearing  attracted  quite  as  many  persons  as  attended  the 
hearing  on  the  housing  bills. 

About  the  only  opposition  to  this  measure  came  from  the 
Brooklyn  Real  Estate  Board.  It  was  the  contention  of  the 
opposition  that  this  bill  would  enable  and  facilitate  the  organi- 
zation of  a  real-estate  brokers'  monopoly  in  New  York  City 
and  would  deprive  a  property-owner  from  commissioning  a 
relative  or  member  of  his  family  to  look  after  his  realty. 

Mr.  Doyle,  representing  the  Real  Estate  Board  of  New  York, 
supported  the  bill  and  told  the  Governor  that  the  opposition  to 
the  measure  was  constituted  largely  by  operators  who  re- 
sented  regulation  of   their  activities. 

"The  New  York  City  Real  Estate  Board  has  a  code  of  ethics 
that  makes  such  regulation  unnecessary,  but  the  board  cannot 
control  the  activities  of  operators  outside  its  membership," 
he  said.  "The  board  does  not  need  this  bill,  but  sees  in  it  the 
means  of  curtailing  the  fraudulent  activities  of  some  brokers 
and  salesmen  in  New  York  City.  It  strikes  me  that  only  the 
person  who  does  not  want  regulation  could  be  opposed  to 
this  bill." 

The  measure  was  framed  and  vigorously  supported  by  the 
New   York   State   Association   of    Real   Estate    Boards. 

Laurence  McGuire,  in  support  of  the  measure,  said  that  it 
had  operated  to  good  purpose  in  thirteen  states  of  the  Union. 
He  pointed  out  that  such  a  law  is  in  operation  in  New  Jersey 
and  that  one  effect  of  this  statute  has  been  to  drive  into  New 
York  City  a  number  of  real  estate  operators  who  are  unable 
to   do   business   under   the  Jersey   statute. 

While  Mr.  McNulty  was  presenting  his  argument  in  favor  of 
the  bill  the  Governor  inquired  why  it  did  not  carry  an  appro- 
priation for  the  administration  of  the  act.  He  was  advised 
that  the  proponents  of  the  bill  were  informed  that  an  appro- 
priation would  be  unnecessary,  as  the  State  Tax  Department, 
the  administering  body,  had  sufficient  funds  to  establish  a 
bureau  of  regulation.  Mr.  McNuIty  described  the  various 
forms  of  malpractice  in  connection  with  real  estate  exchange 
that  are  now  possible,  all  of  which  he  believed  the  bill  would 
prevent  in  the  future. 

"Governor,  this  bill  is  a  public  necessity,"  he  said.  "It  would 
put  a  stop  to  spurious  transactions  and  would  make  it  im- 
possible for  crooked  brokers  to  'shake  down'  vendors  for  ex- 
orbitant commissions.  This  talk  of  promoting  a  monopoly  in 
the  real  estate  business  is  riduculous.  Statements  that  the 
refusal  of  the  department  to  license  a  broker  or  salesman 
charged  with  dishonesty  would  be  equivalent  to  depriving  a 
man  of  a  jury  trial  is  equally  ridiculous.  A  doctor  might  be 
deprived  of   his   practice   in   the   same  way   this  bill  provides." 

James  Frank,  former  president  of  the  State  Association, 
said  the  real  estate  business  was  rapidly  reaching  the  stan- 
dards of  the  medical  and  law  professions  and  that  the  law  pro- 
posed was  required  in  order  to  save  honest  brokers  and

New  York  Building  Congress  Will  Hold  Its  Annual  Meeting  Next  Tuesday 


THE  annual  meeting  of  the  New  York  Building  Congress 
will  be  held  in  the  United  Engineering  Societies'  Build- 
ing, 29  West  Thirty-ninth  Street,  Tuesday  afternoon, 
April  18th,  at  3.45  o'clock.  Although  the  Congress,  which  is 
the  New  York  section  of  the  National  Congress  of  the  Building 
and  Construction  Industry,  was  formally  organized  only  a 
year  its  development  has  been  rapid  and  work  of  the  utmost 
importance  to  the  welfare  of  the  local  building  industry  has 
already  been  accomplished. 

At  the  meeting  next  Tuesday  afternoon  the  officers  for  the 
coming  year  will  be  elected  and  reports  from  the  various  stand- 
ing committees  will  be  submitted  for  the  approval  of  the 
members. 

The  ambitious  program  for  the  development  of  a  real  ap- 
prenticeship system  in  the  various  skilled  trades  affiliated  with 
the  building  industry  is  undoubtedly  the  most  significant  and 
important  of  the  efforts  of  the  Congress  during  its  first  year. 


The  report  of  the  committee  which  has  been  responsible  for 
the  excellent  progress  already  made  and  which  will  outline 
specifically  the  plans  for  the  future  development  of  skilled 
workers  will  be  one  of  the  outstanding  features  of  the  forth- 
coming meeting. 

The  officers  of  the  New  York  Building  Congress  cordially 
invite  every  one  affiliated  with  or  interested  in  any  capacity 
in  the  building  industry  and  in  assisting  in  its  upbuilding,  to 
be  present  at  the  annual  meeting  next  Tuesday.  There  is  much 
work  still  to  be  done  by  this  organization;  more  members  are 
not  only  desirable  but  are  absolutely  essential  if  the  Congress 
idea  is  to  grow  and  develop  to  its  fullest  extent.  The  forth- 
coming meeting  will  give  those  interested  an  opportunity 
to  get  first-hand  information  as  to  the  future  plans  of  this 
organization  and  furthermore  will  be  a  demonstration  of  the 
possibilities  of  accomplishments  when  all  those  who  should  be- 
long are  numbered  in  the  roll  of  the  Congress.

Past  Records  Broken  By  Awards  for  Local  Construction 

Weekly  Figures  of  F.  W.  Dodge  Company  Show  Steady  and  Consistent  Gain  in 
Practically  All  Phases  of  Building  Activity  in  Metropolis 


CONTRACTS  awarded  during  the  fourteenth  week  of 
1922,  in  the  territory  including  all  of  New  York  State  and 
New  Jersey,  north  of  Trenton,  amounted  to  $45,349,800. 
This  total  shows  a  decided  increase  over  those  of  the  pre- 
ceding weeks  of  this  year  and  in  fact  established  two  new 
records  for  this  territory,  the  largest  weekly  total  of  contract 
awards  and  the  first  time  on  record  that  the  contracts  of  the 
week  exceeded  the  total  of  newly  projected  construction.  Al- 
though the  record  figure  of  the  week  of  April  1  to  7,  inclusive, 
is  the  result  of  the  $19,000,000  commitment  for  the  new  vehicular 
tunnel  under  the  Hudson  River,  there  has  been  a  steady  im- 
provement in  the  number  and  value  of  awards  for  new  con- 
struction and  the  local  building  industry  is  assured  of  all  the 
work  it  will  be  in  a  position  to  assimilate  throughout  the  re- 
mainder of  the  year. 

According  to  figures  tabulated  by  the  F.  W.  Dodge  Company 
plans  were  announced  for  735  new  building  and  engineering 
operations  during  the  week  of  April  1  to  7,  inclusive,  that  will 
involve  a  total  outlay  of  more  than  $37,000,000.  There  were 
contracts   placed   during   this   period   for  401   projects   that   in- 


volve  a   total   expenditure   estimated  at  more   than  $45,349,800. 

The  list  of  735  projects  reported  being  planned  during  the 
fourteenth  week  of  this  year  included  93  business  operations 
such  as  stores,  offices,  lofts,  commercial  garages,  etc.,  $4,040,- 
400;  12  educational  buildings,  $1,415,000;  4  hospitals  and  institu- 
tions, $81,000;  26  factories  and  industrial  projects,  $8,693,000; 
4  public  buildings,  $280,000;  53  public  works  and  public  utilities, 
$2,070,300;  13  religious  and  memorial  structures,  $1,384,500;  524 
residential  operations  including  apartments,  flats  and  tenements 
and  one  and  two-family  dwellings,  $19,141,100  and  6  social  and 
recreational  projects,  $245,000. 

Among  the  401  operations  for  which  contracts  were  awarded 
during  the  week  of  April  1  to  7  inclusive  were  57  business  proj- 
ects of  one  type  or  another,  $1,949,400;  13  educational  buildings, 
$2,587,900;  3  hospitals  and  institutions,  $143,800;  13  industrial 
projects,  $2,560,100;  18  public  works  and  public  utilities,  $20,- 
643,000;  9  religious  and  memorial  projects,  $330,000;  283  resi- 
dential operations  including  multi-family  structures  and  one 
and  two-family  dwellings,  $16,785,600  and  5  social  and  recrea- 
tional buildings,  $350,000.

RECORD    AND     GUIDE 


April  IS,  1922 


CURRENT    BUILDING    OPERATIONS 


ONTRACTORS,  sub-contractors  and 
material  manufacturers  and  dealers 
are  generally  satisfied  -with  the  manner 
in  which  the  1922  building  season  is  shap- 
ing up.  There  is  a  steady  gain  from  week 
to  week  in  the  amount  ot  new  construc- 
tion released  for  a  start  and  architects 
have  plans  on  their  boards  for  a  large 
amount  of  proposed  building  scheduled 
for  release  as  soon  as  thfc  plans  are  fin- 
ished. Although  the  major  portion  of 
the  new  construction  is  residential  in 
character  there  is  a  decided  improvement 
in  the  outlook  for  commercial  and  indus- 
trial work  and  as  a  result  those  contrac- 
tors-who  are  not  specially  interested  in 
the  speculative  type  of  construction  are 
more   optimistic   than  they  have  been. 

The  developments  of  the  past  -week  in- 
dicate tliat  the  dispute  between  the  build- 
ing trade  employers  and  the  labor  unions 
will  be  settled  witHout  further  delay. 
There  was  a  conference  between  the  rep- 
resentatives of  both  sides  last  Tuesday 
afternoon,  at  which  a  basis  for  settling 
the  outstanding  difference  was  arrived  at. 
It  is  likely  that  a  further  conference,  to 
be  held  in  the  near  future,  will  bring  this 
matter  to  a  head,  and  just  as  soon  as  a 
new  working  agreement  for  the  remainder 
of  the  calendar  year  is  consumated  this 
action  will  be  reflected  in  the  local  build- 
ing situation  by  a  restoration  of  confi- 
dence in  the   future   of  the  industry. 

The  material  markets  are  steadily  grow- 
ing more  active  and  dealers  feel  that  the 
coming  months  will  witness  a  growing 
demand  for  structural  commodities.  Prices 
are  generally  firm  and  there  is  every  like- 
lihood that  the  prevailing  levels  will  stand 
for  some  time  to  come  unless  a  shortage, 
due  to  the  tremendous  volume  of  active 
construction,   should    force   prices   upward. 

Coniiiion  Brick — The  vast  amount  of 
apartment  house  construction  now  going 
on  in  practically  all  boroughs  of  New  York 
City  has  been  responsible  for  a  continua- 
tion of  the  active  demand  for  Hudson 
River  common  brick.  Brooklyn  continues 
to  lead  the  city  in  the  amount  of  brick 
consumed  in  new  construction  from  week 
to  week,  but  there  is  a  growing  demand 
from  the  Bronx  that  is  indicative  of  the 
increased  activity  in  that  borough.  A 
total  of  forty-two  barge  loads  of  brick 
arrived  this  week  from  up-river  points, 
and  with  the  exception  of  four  cargoes  all 
"were  disposed  of  for  immediate  delivery. 
Prices  are  practically  unchanged  and 
quotations  range  from  $16  to  $16.50  a 
thousand,  but  there  is  not  much  brick 
available  at  the  lower  figure,  and  there 
are  some  who  feel  that  the  market  for 
Hudson  River  common   brick  is  stiffening 


to  some  extent.  Manufacturers  are  get- 
ting their  plants  in  shape  for  the  opening 
of  the  1922  producing  season,  and  if  the 
present  weather  continues  there  is  every 
likelihood  that  within  the  next  week  or 
so  some  of  the  Hudson  River  plants  will 
have  started  making  brick. 

Sumninry — Transactions  in  the  North 
River  brick  market  for  the  "week  ending 
Thursday,  April  13,  1922.  Condition  of 
niark*et:  Demand  steady  and  strong: 
prices,  firm  and  practically  unchanged. 
Quotations:  Hudson  Rivers,  $16  to  $16.50

maining unsold  in  the  New  York  whole- 
sale  market,   4. 

Lumber — There  has  been  a  decided  im- 
provement in  the  tone  of  the  local  lum- 
ber market  during  the  past  two  or  three 
weelis,  and  as  a  result  dealers  are  greatly 
encouraged.  Demand  is  growing  steadily 
and  both  wholesale  and  retail  dealers  an- 
ticipate excellent  business  for  the  re- 
mainder   of    the    year.      Prices    are    fairly

MATERIALS    AND    SUPPLIES 


steady  and  in  certain  instances  slight  ad- 
vances have  been  reported  due  to  the  in- 
creased demand.  The  constantly  growing 
volume  of  residential  construction  in 
Greater  New  York  and  the  surrounding 
districts  is  the  most  important  factor  in 
the  prevailing  lumber  demand,  but  there 
are  marked  signs  of  increased  activity 
along  commercial  and  industrial  construc- 
tion lines.  Retail  dealers  in  the  outlying 
sections  of  the  city  state  that  the  busi- 
ness of  the  past  few  weeks  has  been  far 
ahead  of  their  most  optimistic  estimates, 
and   the   demand   gives   every   evidence   of 


growing  steadily  throughout  the  next 
three  or  four  months.  Reports  from 
wholesalers  reflect  the  improved  retail 
demand,  and  at  the  present  time  the  or- 
ders are  considerably  in  excess  of  pro- 
duction. 

Structural  Steel — Demand  for  structural 
steel  is  daily  increasing  and  the  con- 
tractors are  generally  favorably  impressed 
with  the  outlook  for  the  coming  season. 
A  general  stiffening  has  recently  been 
noted  throughout  the  local  market  for 
structural  steel.  Fabricated  material  is 
now  going  at  prices  ranging  from   $64   to

$70  a  ton,  erected  in  commercial  projects. 
The  improvement  in  the  outlook  for  this 
commodity  is  generally  traceable  to  the  in- 
creased interest  in  the  construction  of 
large  apartment  house  projects,  a  number 
of  which  are  now  out  for  estimates  and 
all  of  which  will  involve  an  average  of 
1,200  tons. 

Electrical  Supplies  —  Buying  interest 
continues  to  improve  each  week,  and  both 
manufacturers  and  dealers  are  looking 
forward  to  a  season  of  more  than  ordinary 
activity  in  this  line.  The  large  volume 
of  residential  construction  in  this  terri- 
tory is  largely  responsible  for  the  increas- 
ing demand  for  -wiring  materials,  but  the 
improvement  in  the  general  business  situ- 
ation is  also  a  factor  as  it  has  been  re- 
sponsible for  considerable  repair  and  al- 
teration work  in  existing  industrial  plants. 
No  important  changes  in  prices  of  electri- 
cal materials  have  been  reported  during 
the  past  week,  although  there  has  been 
some  stiffening  in  the  quotations  on  cer- 
tain  items. 

Nails — The  market  for  both  cut  and 
wire  nails  is  more  active  than  it  has  been 
for  some  time,  and  there  are  strong  indi- 
cations of  a  steady  growth  in  the  de- 
mand. The  increased  construction  re- 
ported during  the  past  few  weeks  is  re- 
flecting itself  in  the  nail  market,  and  al- 
though there  is  still  keen  competition 
among  jobbers  the  situation  is  better  than 
it  has  been.  Several  of  the  local  jobbers 
recently  reduced  their  prices  on  cut  nails 
1.5e.  per  keg,  and  current  New  York  quota- 
tions are   $3.90  base   per  keg. 

Cast  Iron  Pipe — The  demand  for  this 
commodity  has  been  unusually  good  dur- 
ing the  past  week  or  so,  and  both  munici- 
pal and  private  buying  has  increased  con- 
siderably. The  prospects  for  a  continua- 
tion of  the  demand  are  excellent  and 
manufacturers  are  very  optimistic  re- 
garding the  outlook  for  the  coming 
months.  Several  important  municipal 
projects  have  lately  been  announced  and 
some  interesting  work  is  now  out  for 
estimates.  Prices  are  firm  at  their  new 
levels  and  no  softening  is  anticipated  for 
the  present.  New  Y'ork  quotations  are  as 
follows:  6  in.  and  larger,  $48.50  per  net 
ton;  4  in.  and  5  in.,  $53.80,  and  3  in.,  $63.80, 
with  Class  A  and  gas  pipe  $4  extra  per 
ton. 

AVindow  Glass — At  present  the  demand 
for  window  glass  is  confined  to  relatively 
small-lot  orders,  but  the  outlook  for  the 
coming  season  is  excellent  because  of  the 
large  amount  of  new  construction  sched- 
uled for  the  local  territory.  Glass  prices 
are  quite  firm.

EMPIRE 

Extensible 

Steel 
Partitions 


are  adjustable  to  any  ceiling 
height.  Entire  floors  can  be  dis- 
mantled and  re-erected  over 
night,  at  less  than  25%  of  the 
cost  of  the  ordinary  partitions. 

Finished  in  Baked  Enamel,  Oak, 
Mahogany,  Circassian  and  Amer- 
ican Walnut,  etc.

In  that  giant  among  giants — the 
Equitable  Building — what  parti- 
tion to  use  was  a  serious  ques- 
tion. 

You  can  imagine  that  with  the 
stream  of  tenants  moving  and 
changing  continually  the  cost  of 
building  new  partitions  might 
easily  be  tremendous. 

There  was  not  only  the  cost  of 
the  material  destroyed  if  plaster 
partitions  were  used,  but  the 
dust  annoyance  to  the  tenants 
had  to  be  thought  of. 

Every  type  of  partition  material 
was  considered  and  rejected  for 
one  reason  or  another. 

Finally  Empire  Steel  Partitions 
was  decided  upon  because  of  the 
"ease  and  economy"  with  which 
it  can  be  moved  whenever  ten- 
ants require  alterations. 


"The  partitions  embodying  the 
EMPIRE  STEEL  construction 
give  us  a  flexible  partition  which 
can  be  used  on  nearly  every 
floor,  and  which  can  be  moved  at 
low  cost,  without  expensive 
waste  or  damage.

An  Interesting  Experiment 

Governor  Miller  has  completed  the  task  of  passing  upon 
the  hundreds  of  measures  left  in  his  hands  when  the  Leg- 
islature of  1922  adjourned  on  March  17th.  The  financial 
bills  were  acted  upon  by  the  Governor  early  in  the  tliirty- 
day  period,  with  results  which,  as  already  noted  in  these 
columns,  have  brought  a  large  measure  of  satisfaction  to 
taxpayers  generally. 

Among  the  bills  left  for  final  action  by  the  Governor  were 
the  important  measures  proposed  by  the  Lockwood  Com- 
mittee. Governor  Miller,  after  public  hearings  and  care- 
ful deliberation,  ultimately  decided  to  sign  all  of  these  bills 
and  they  are  now  law.  Under  their  provisions  the  continued 
existence  of  a  housing  emergency  is  declared  officially,  and 
all  interested  in  real  estate  and  building  must  make  their 
plans  on  that  basis,  whether  they  are  convinced  that  an 
emergency  still  exists  or  whether  they  believe,  as  does  the 
Real  Estate  Board  of  New  York,  that  the  emergency  has 
passed. 

Governor  Miller  furnished  a  surprise  when  he  decided 
to  sign  the  Lockwood  bill  permitting  life  insurance  com- 
panies to  invest  ten  per  cent,  of  their  assets  in  housing 
construction  under  certain  stated  conditions.  The  Gover- 
nor's earlier  attitude  had  indicated  grave  doubt  on  his  part 
as  to  the  wisdom  of  this  measure — a  doubt  which  many 
others  shared  with  him.  In  deciding  ultimately  to  approve 
this  measure,  the  Governor  took  the  view  that  it  was  a 
temporary  expedient  and  that  it  could  be  justified  only  on 
the  ground  that  it  might  relieve  an  emergency.  The  Gov- 
ernor expressed  his  serious  doubt  as  to  the  wisdom  of 
allowing  insurance  companies  to  make  investments  involv- 
ing speculative  risks,  but  concluded  that  "considering  the 
limited  time  during  which  such  investments  are  permitted, 
the  direct  pecuniary  interest  of  insurance  companies  in  prop- 
er housing,  the  willingness  of  at  least  one  company  to  invest 
under  what  appear  to  be  adequate  safeguards,  my  doubts 
have  yielded  to  the  belief  that  there  is  little  danger  of  any 
harm  from  this  measure  and  much  hope  of  real  relief." 

Officials  of  the  Metropolitan  Life  Insurance  Company, 
the  only  one  of  the  great  New  York  life  insurance  com- 
panies which  has  evinced  a  favorable  interest  in  this  meas- 
ure, immediately  applied  themselves  to  a  serious  considera- 
tion of  the  authority  which  the  new  law  confers.  They 
promptly  called  in  an  architect  of  high  standing  and  wide 
experience,  Mr.  A.  J.  Thomas,  and  propose  to  spend  about 
$6,000,000  for  the  construction  of  modern,  low-priced 
apartments  if  they  find  it  possible  under  the  provisions  of 
the  new  law.  The  most  vital  restriction  is  that  the  new 
apartments  must  rent  for  $9  per  room,  or  less,  per  month. 
If  the  Metropolitan  Company  reaches  the  conclusion  that 
this  can  be  done,  it  will  proceed  with  the  erection  of  fifty 
modern  apartments  to  accommodate  a  total  of  1,800  fam- 
ilies and  have  them  ready  for  occupancy  by  next  fall. 

Serious  doubts  have  existed  in  the  minds  of  many  who 
stand  high  in  the  local  building  industry  as  to  the  ])os- 
sibility,  under  prevailing  conditions,  of  constructing  dwell- 
ings of  the  character  proposed  that  can  be  rented  at  that 


price  and  still  permit  a  reasonable  return  on  the  investment. 
On  the  other  hand,  there  are  those,  also  recognized  as 
experts  in  real  estate  and  construction,  who  feel  confident 
it  can  be  accomplished  and  that  the  Metropolitan's  initial 
project  will  result  in  the  building  of  additional  units  which 
in  a  relatively  short  time  will  solve  the  housing  problem 
in  the  metropolis. 

Prominent  architects,  contractors  and  real  estate  experts 
have  expressed  their  doubts  that  these  structures  can  be 
made  to  pay  if  constructed  according  to  the  provisions  of 
the  new  law.  Even  well-known  speculative  builders,  who 
are  trained  in  all  the  short  cuts  in  construction  and  who 
are  notably  sharp  buyers  when  it  comes  to  placing  material 
orders  or  awarding  sub-contracts,  have  been  skeptical  re- 
garding the  success  of  this  undertaking. 

The  project  which  the  Metropolitan  officials  have  under 
consideration  is  being  followed  with  very  great  interest. 
At  best  it  is  an  experiment,  but  an  experiment  which  is 
bound  to  lead  to  definite  results  if  carried  out.  It  will 
demonstrate  the  possibility,  or  else  the  impossibility,  of 
making  available  within  a  few  months  a  large  number  of 
low-priced  apartments,  the  lack  of  which  is  admitted  on  all 
sides  to  be  the  vital  point  of  whatever  housing  shortage 
still  exists  in  New  York  City.  Should  this  first  large 
project  of  the  Metropolitan  Company  be  carried  out  and  its 
financial  success  be  proven,  an  end  of  the  shortage  in  hous- 
ing will  be  assured.  And  even  if  the  plan  should  prove  un- 
successful from  a  financial  standpoint,  thereby  necessitating 
higher  rents  than  $9  per  room,  those  who  are  fathering  this 
altruistic  plan  and  giving  it  a  fair  trial  will  be  entitled  to  the 
hearty  commendation  of  a  vast  army  of  rent-payers  for  the 
effort  to  bring  about  a  return  to  normal  economic  and  living 
conditions. 


A  Year  of  Splendid  Achievement 

Three  specific  and  far-reacliing  results  have  been  accom- 
plished by  the  New  York  Building  Congress  during  its  first 
year  of  existence  which  warrant  predicting  for  it  a  steady 
growth  in  power  and  a  constantly  widening  sphere  of  in- 
fluence upon  the  building  industry  at  large.  The  Congress 
has  first  of  all  brought  about  an  industry  consciousness  in 
place  of  the  craft  consciousness  which  heretofore  prevailed. 
The  former  was  responsible  to  a  large  degree  for  many  of 
the  ills  of  the  construction  industry  because  of  the  selfish 
attitude  on  the  part  of  the  component  elements  in  matters 
of  paramount  interest  to  all. 

The  Code  of  Ethics  for  the  Building  Industry  which  was 
formulated  and  subsequently  adopted  by  the  Congress  is 
now  generally  recognized  as  one  of  the  most  important  and 
significant  pieces  of  trade  literature  ever  published.  Al- 
though it  has  not  revolutionized  trade  practices — this  was 
not  its  purpose— its  influence  has  been  excellent  and  will 
constantly  expand.  This  Code,  which  was  widely  distrib- 
uted to  the  allied  building  interests  in  this  territory,  was 
sent  also  to  numerous  communities  throughout  the  United 
States  for  their  guidance.  It  has  already  been  adopted  in 
its  entirety  by  newly  organized  congress  groups  in  various

parts  of  the  country,  and  it  is  being  utilized  as  the  basis  for 
similar  documents  in  preparation  by  local  building  exchanges 
and  by  several  national  organizations  which  are  planning 
their  operations  along  lines  that  have  proved  so  beneficial 
to  local  building  and  construction  interests. 

Undoubtedly  the  most  important  of  the  achievements  of 
the  Nevfcf  York  Building  Congress  during  its  first  year  has 
been  the  preparation  of  the  ground  work  for  the  establish- 
ment of  a  real  apprenticeship  system  for  the  local  building 
trades.  The  plans  for  this  work  are  now  practically  ma- 
tured. They  have  been  officially  endorsed  by  the  Building 
Trades  Employers'  Association  and  the  Building  Trades' 
Council.  Both  of  these  bodies  have  not  only  sanctioned 
the  idea  but  have  put  themselves  on  record  as  willing  to 
actively  co-operate  in  making  the  plans  a  complete  success. 
Not  only  will  they  give  their  moral  support  to  the  move- 
ment but  they  also  will  bear  their  proportionate  share  of 
the  expense  involved  in  establishing  the  system  for  training 
needed  apprentices  in  building-trade  craftmanship,  as  well 
as  in  citizenship. 


None  of  this  work  has  been  accomplished  without  effort. 
The  Executive  Committee  of  the  Congress  has  labored  dili- 
gently throughout  the  past  year.  The  motives  of  its  m.em- 
bers  have  been  wholly  altruistic  and  unselfish  and  their 
sole  desire  has  been  for  the  upbuilding  of  the  construction 
industry  and  placing  it  upon  a  higher  plane  of  service  to 
the  community.  This  committee  has  been  particularly  for- 
tunate in  securing  as  heads  of  the  sub-committees  entrusted 
with  the  working  out  of  its  plans  men  of  the  highest  stand- 
ing their  professions  and  trades,  who  have  given  freely  of 
their  time  and  energy  in  order  to  assure  the  success  of  the 
Congress  idea. 

The  reports  submitted  at  the  first  annual  meeting  of  the 
Congress  on  Tuesday  afternoon  proved  conclusively  the 
lively  interest  of  many  of  the  recognized  leaders  in  the  local 
building  industry,  not  a  few  of  whom  are  men  of  national 
prominence  as  well.  The  record  of  the  accomplishments  of 
the  first  year  is  surely  significant  of  the  larger  things  to  be 
achieved  as  this  organization  gains  in  numerical  strengtli 
and  power. 


Mr.  Kelsey  Expects  No  Immediate  Change  in  Mortgage  Loan  Rates 


CLARENCE  H.  KELSEY,  president  of  the  Title  Guarantee 
&  Trust  Company,  replying  to  inquiries  as  to  the  prob- 
able rate  for  mortgage  money  during  the  year,  said: 
"The  question  of  the  tendency  of  the  rate  of  interest  on  mort- 
gage loans  is  exciting  a  good  deal  of  interest.  People  are  in- 
quiring whether  the  rate  of  interest  is  not  going  down,  and 
particularly  how  soon  it  is  going  down.  The  rate  has  been 
broken  to  Sj/2  per  cent,  in  one  or  two  cases  lately  and  that  has 
aroused  the  expectation  that  there  will  be  a  general  reduction 


in  rates.  I  believe  it  is  too  soon  to  expect  any  such  change. 
Undoubtedly  the  rate  will  recede  in  time,  but  general  business 
has  got  to  be  much  better,  and  corporate  borrowings  have  got 
to  be  on  a  lower  basis  than  at  present  before  mortgage  rates 
are  generally  likely  to  fall  below  6  per  cent. 

"The  change  will  come  about  gradually  and  we  are  likely  to 
see  a  slowly  increasing  number  of  choice  mortgages  negotiated 
on  a  Syi  per  cent,  basis,  but  the  average  borrower  is  likely  to 
have  to  be  contented  with  a  6  per  cent,  rate,  at  any  rate  for 
loans  secured  during  1922." 


Propo.sed  Solution  of  Elevated  Extension  in  Astoria 


JUSTICE  GEORGE  McANENY,  chairman  of  the  Transit 
Commission,  has  made  a  suggestion  to  the  members  of  the 
Transit  Committee  of  the  Queensboro  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce  which  may  prove  to  be  the  solution  of  the  perplexing 
problem  of  how  to  extend  the  operation  of  B.  R.  T.  trains  over 
the  Astoria  and  Corona  elevated  extensions  in  Queens. 

The  proposed  plan,  which  will  be  thoroughly  studied  not  only 
by  the  Engineering  and  Legal  Departments  of  the  Transit  Com- 
mission but  by  the  Transit  Committee  of  the  Queensboro  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce  before  any  decision  is  reached,  contemplates 
having  the  Brooklyn  Rapid  Transit  Company  purchase  a  suffi- 
cient number  of  steel  subway  cars,  similar  in  size  to  those 
operated  by  the  Interborough,  for  operation  to  and  from  57th 
Street  Station  in  Manhattan  and  the  terminal  of  the  Astoria 
and  Corona  extensions  in  Queens.  At  the  57th  Street  Station, 
passengers  could  then  transfer  conveniently  to  either  the  ex- 
press or  local  B.  R.  T.  trains  by  simply  stepping  across  the 
platform,  just  as  passengers  do  today  in  changing  from  ex- 
press to  local  trains  at  express  stations. 

In  other  words,  all  B.  R.  T.  express  and  local  trains,  made 
up  of  the  ten  foot  wide  cars,  could  operate  as  at  present  north- 
ward in  Manhattan  to  57th  Street,  but  not  beyond  that  point. 
Passengers  desiring  to  go  to  Queens,  would  step  across  the 
platform  and  take  a  train  made  up  of  cars  of  less  width  which 
could  operate  not  only  from  that  point  eastward  through  Man- 
hattan, and  through  the  60th  Street  Tunnel  under  the  East 
River,  into  the  Bridge  Plaza  Station,  Long  Island  City,  but 
continue  direct  to  Astoria  and  Corona  without  any  further 
changes.  This  would  be  possible  because  the  narrower  B.  R.  T. 
cars  could  operate  over  the  existing  tracks  and  through  the 
existing  stations  without  any  alterations  to  either  being 
required. 

Passengers  from  the  stations  in  Queens  on  either  the  Astoria 
or  Corona  extensions  could  take  the  B.  R.  T.  trains,  made  up  of 


narrower  cars,  direct  to  57th  street,  Manhattan,  without  change, 
where,  by  stepping  across  a  platform,  they  could  change  con- 
veniently, to  either  the  local  or  express  trains  made  up  of  ten 
foot  wide  cars  southward. 

This  suggestion  was  made  at  a  conference  with  Chairman 
McAneny  at  which  were  present  Robert  Ridgway,  chief  engi- 
r.eer  of  the  Transit  Commission;  Alfred  M.  Barrett,  former 
chairman  of  the  Public  Service  Commission,  and  now  vice- 
chairman  of  the  Transit  Committee  of  the  Queensboro  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce ;  Edward  A.  McDougall,  president,  and  F.  Ray 
Howe,  vice-president  of  the  Queensboro  Corporation;  StuarJ 
Hirschman ;  and  Walter  I.  Willis,  secretary  of  the  Queensboro 
Chamber  of  Commerce. 


Fireofficials  are  reporting  an  increasing  number  of  electrical 
fires  because  people  are  overloading  their  electrical  circuits. 
Attachment  of  electrical  iron,  electric  washing  machine,  electric 
dishwashers,  waffle  irons,  stoves,  heaters  and  other  devices 
has  proceeded  to  the  point  where  some  householders  have 
placed  2S-ampere  fuses  in  locations  where  only  6-ampere  fuses 
should  be  provided.  The  general  attitude  seems  to  be  "Do  it 
yourself,"  instead  of  calling  a  trouble  man.  In  some  homes  the 
use  of  any  fuses  at  all  has  even  been  discontinued,  in  order 
to  prevent  the  annoyance  of  having  them  blow.  In  New  York 
City  in  1921  there  were  52  fires  due  to  overheated  electric  irons 
in  contact  with  flammable  material.  These  fires  involved  a  loss 
of  $216,974.71. 


According  to  the  Bureau  of  Labor  Statistics,  there  were 
635,638  men  employed  in  the  lumber  industry  in  the  United 
States  in  1918,  among  whom  there  were  953  fatal  accidents.  The 
prevalent  death  rate  in  the  lumber  industry  was  15  per  10,000 
workers  ;  in  the  coal  industry  it  is  33.8,  and  in  the  agricultural 
industry,  3.5  per   10,000  employed.

April  22,  1922 


New  Provisions  of  Rent  Laws  Signed  by  Governor  Miller 

Executive    Approval    Given    to    Lockwood    Committee's    Bills    Which    Passed 
Legislature,  Except  One  Measure  Vetoed  by  Mayor  Hylan 


ALL  of  the  measures  proposed  by  the  Joint  Legislative  Com- 
mittee, of  which  Senator  Charles  C.  Lockwood  is  chairman, 
which  were  passed  by  both  houses  of  the  Legislature,  have 
now  become  law,  having  been  signed  by  Governor  Miller,  except 
one  bill  vetoed  by  Mayor  Hylan  providing  for  the  return  of  jury 
fees  in  certain  cases.  A  considerable  portion  of  the  committee's 
original  program  for  legislative  action  was  sidetracked  before  it 
reached  a  vote  in  the  Legislature,  but  the  most  important  proposals 
are  now  in  force  and  will  undoubtedly  have  great  influence  on 
business  in  the  real  estate  and  building  fields  during  the  next  two 
or  three  years.  In  order  that  its  readers  may  be  thoroughly  in- 
formed as  to  the  provisions  of  the  new  legislation  The  Record 
AND  Guide  presents  the  following  summary  of  the  enactments, 
printing  the  bills  in  full  when  their  importance  demands  it.  First 
in  its  bearing  on  the  general  situation  is  the  act  extending  the 
emergency   rent   laws,   the    full   text   of   which    follows : 

CHAPTER  663,  LAWS  OF  1922. 

AN  ACT  extending  the  time  of  application  of  certain  acts  of  the  years 
nine  hundred  and  twenty  and  nineteen  hundred  and  twenty-one,  relating 
to  defenses  in  actions  based  upon  unjust,  unreasonable  and  oppressive 
agreements  for  rent  of  premises  occupied  for  dwelling  purposes  in 
certain  cities,  and  to  summary  proceedings  to  recover  the  possession  of 
real   property    in    certain    cities. 

The  People  of  the  State  of  New  York,  represented  in  Senate  and  As- 
cembly,  do   enact  as  folloios : 

Section  1.  The  public  emergency,  which  existed  at  the  time  of  the  en- 
actment of  the  statutes  below  enumerated,  having  continued,  in  the 
judgment  of  the  legislature,  to  the  present  time  and  still  existing, 
chapter  one  hundred  and  thirty-six  of  the  laws  of  nineteen  hundred  and 
twenty,  entitled  "An  act  in  relation  to  defenses  in  actions  based  upon 
unjust,  unreasonable  and  oppressive  agreements  for  rent  of  premises 
occupied  for  dwelling  purposes  in  cities  of  the  first  class."  as  amended 
by  chapter  nine  hundred  and  forty-four  of  the  laws  of  nineteen  hundred 
and  twenty  and  chapter  four  hundred  and  thirty-four  of  the  laws  of 
nineteen  hundred  and  twenty-one  ;  chapter  one  hundred  and  thirty-seven 
of  the  laws  of  nineteen  hundred  and  twenty,  entitled  "An  act  in  relation 
to  summary  proceedings  to  recover  the  possession  of  real  property  in 
cities  of  the  first  class  or  in  cities  in  a  county  adjoining  a  city  of  the 
first  class  during  the  existing  emergency,"  as  amended  by  chapter  nine 
hundred  and  forty-eight  of  the  laws  of  nineteen  hundred  and  twenty ; 
section  ten  hundred  and  eleven-a  of  the  civil  practice  act,  as  added  by 
chapter  one  hundred  and  ninety-nine  of  the  laws  of  nineteen  hunt'red 
and  twenty-one  and  amended  by  chapter  three  hundred  and  sixty-seven 
of  the  laws  of  nineteen  hundred  and  twenty-one ;  subdivision  one-a  of 
section  fourteen  hundred  and  ten  of  the  civil  practice  act.  such  section 
having  been  added  by  chapter  one  hundred  and  ninety-nine  of  the  laws 
of  nineteen  hundred  and  twenty-one  and  subdivision  two-a  of  section 
fourteen  hundred  and  ten  of  the  civil  practice  act,  such  section  having 
been  added  by  chapter  one  hundred  and  ninety-nine  of  the  laws  of 
nineteen  hundred  and  twenty-one  and  such  subdivision  having  been 
amended  by  chapter  three  hundred  and  seventy-one  of  the  laws  of  nine- 
teen hundred  and  twenty-one  shall,  notwithstanding  any  provision-^  in 
any  such  chapters,  sections  or  subdivisions,  remain  and  be  in  full  force 
and  effect  until  the  fifteenth  day  of  February,  nineteen  hundred  and 
tweiity-four. 

Sec.  2.  This  act  shall  take  effect  immediately. 

The  amendment  to  the  tax  law  extending  the  time  for  the  com- 
mencement of  construction  for  the  purpose  of  securing  exemption 
from  local  taxation  of  buildings  planned  for  dwelling  purposes. 
was  the  first  measure  to  receive  executive  approval  as  the  "emer- 
gency" measure  expired  by  limitation  on  April  1,  and  the  amend- 
ment was  pushed  through  the  Legislature  so  that  the  Board  of 
Estimate  could  pass  the  necessary  ordinance  before  the  expira- 
tion of  the  old  enactment.  In  the  amendment  now  in  force,  which 
provides  exemption  from  taxation  of  buildings  completed  since 
April  1.  1920.  or  if  not  so  completed,  that  construction  be  com- 
menced before  April  1,  1923,  and  completed  for  occupancy  within 
two  years  after  such  commencement,  is  the  following  new  pro- 
vision :

'  Or  if  in  course  of  construction  on  September  twenty-seventh,  nine- 
teen hundred  and  twenty,  within  two  years  thereafter.  The  provisions 
of  this  section  shall  not  be  construed  to  preclude  such  legislative  bodies 
from  granting  exemptions  which  do  not  exceed  the  exemption  authorized 
by  this  section.  Any  such  limited  exemption  heretofore  granted  by  any 
such  legislative  body,  intending  or  purporting  to  act  under  the  authority 
conferred  by  this  section,  is  hereby  legalized,  validated  and  confirmed. 
For  the  purposes  of  this  section,  construction  shall  be  deemed  com- 
menced when  the  plans  have  been  filed  with  the  proper  authoritv  and 
excavation  actually  and  in  good  faith  begun.  The  owner  or  architect 
may  file  with  the  authority  with  whom  the  plans  are  filed  a  statement 
In  writing  setting;  forth  the  date  of  filine:  plans  and  the  date  whpn  excava- 
tion was  actually  commenced  ;  and  said  authority  shall  forthwith  cause 
said  facts  to  he  investigated.  Tf  said  statement  on  such  investigation  is 
found  to  be  true,  said  authority  shall  thereupon  issue  to  such  owner  or 
architect  a  certificate  setting  forth  the  date  when  the  plans  were  filed 
■with  him.  and  the  date  when  excavation  was  actually  commenced,  which 
certificate  shall  be  conclusive  evidence  of  the  date  when  construction 
was  commenced,  for  the  purpose  of  obtaining  the  benefits  of  this  section. 
Sec.  2.  This  act  shall  take  effect  Immediately. 


Providing  that  the  assessed  value  of  realty  shall  determine  the 
fair  and  reasonable  rental  value  is  the  feature  of  the  measure 
clarifying  the  rent  laws,  the  full  text  of  which  follows:

CHAPTER  664,  LAWS  OF  1922. 
AN    ACT    to    amend    chapter    one    hundred    and    thirty-six    of    the    laws   of 

nineteen    hundred   and   twenty,   entitled   "An    act    in   relation   to   defenses 

in    actions   based  upon    unjust,   unreasonable   and   oppressive   agreements 

for    rent    of    premises    occupied    for    dwelling    purposes    in    cities   of   the 

first  class  or  in  cities  in  a   county  adjoining  a  city  of  the  first  class," 

generally. 

The  People  of  the  State  of  New  Yorkj  represented  in  Senate  and 
Assevibh/,  do  enact  as  foUoios  : 

Section  1.  Section  one  of  chapter  one  hundred  and  thirty-six  of  the 
laws  of  nineteen  hundred  and  twenty,  entitled  "An  act  in  relation  to  de- 
fenses in  actions  based  upon  unjust,  unreasonable  and  oppressive  agree- 
ments for  rent  of  premises  occupied  for  dwelling  purposes  in  cities  of  the 
first  class  or  in  cities  in  a  county  adjoining  a  city  of  the  first  class,'*  as 
last  amended  by  chapter  four  hundred  and  thirty-four  of  the  laws  of 
nineteen  hundred  and  twenty-one,  is  hereby  amended  to  read  as  follows  : 

Sec.  1.  Unjust,  unreasonable  and  oppressive  agreements  for  the  pay- 
ment of  rent  having  been  and  being  now  exacted  by  landlords  from 
tenant c:  under  stress  of  prevailing  conditions  whereby  the  freedom  of 
contract  has  been  impaired  and  congested  housing  conditions  resulting 
therefrom  have  seriously  affected  and  endangered  the  public  welfare, 
health  and  morals  in  certain  cities  of  the  state,  and  a  public  emergency 
existing  in  the  judgment  of  the  legislature  by  reason  thereof,  it  shall  be 
a  defence  to  an  action  for  rent  accruing  under  an  agreement  for  prem- 
ises in  a  city  of  the  first  class  or  in  a  city  in  a  county  adjoining  a  city 
of  the  first  class  occupied  for  dwelling  purposes  that  such  rent  is  un- 
just and  unreasonable  and  that  the  agreement  under  which  the  same  is 
sought   to  be   recovered    is   oppressive. 

[But  sUch  defense  shall  not  be  allowed  if  it  appear  that  the  defendant 
pursuant  to  the  terms  of  such  agreement  has  paid  after  the  commence- 
ment of  the  term  and  after  this  section  as  amended  takes  effect  three 
successive  monthly  instalments  of  rent,  which  accrued  under  such  agree- 
ment.] 

If  it  appear  that  the  defendant  pursuant  to  the  terms  of  a  written  or 
oral  agreement  for  a  term  of  one  year  or  more  has  paid  after  the  com- 
mencement of  the  term  and  after  April  thirtieth,  nineteen  hundred  and 
ticenty-one,  three  m.onthly  inMalments  of  rent  in  successive  months,  which 
accrued  under  such  ag-reement,  sneh  defense  shall  not  he  allcnced ;  hut 
the  defendant  may  plead  such  defense  in  relation  to  any  rent  or  rental 
value  claimed  for  a  period  within  thj-ee  months  after  the  expiration  of 
such  term.  If  it  appear  that  the  defendant  is  a  monthly  tenant  or  a 
tenant  from  month  to  month  and  has  paid  three  equal  monthly  pay- 
ments of  rent  in  successive  ynonths.  Such  defense  shall  riot  be  allo^oe^ 
after  this  section  as  amended  takes  effect  against  a  cJmm  for  rent  or 
rental  value  not  exceeding  the  rate  so  paid  and  accruing  unthin  nine 
rnonths  after  s^ich  third  payment;  but  the  defendant  may  plead  s^wh 
defense  in  relation  to  rent  or  rental  vaZwe  claimed  for  a  period  within 
three  months  after  the  expiration  of  such  nwe  months. 

Sec.  2.  Such  act  is  hereby  amended  by  inserting  therein  two  new 
sections  to  be  sections  one-a  and  four-a.  to  read  respectively  as  follows: 

Sec.  1-a.  In  on  action  mentioned  in  the  preceding  section,  it  shall  be 
necessary  for  the  plaintiff  to  allege  and  prove  that  the  amount  demanded 
in  the  comjHaint  is  no  greater  than  the  rent  or  rental  value  paid  by  the 
defendant  during  the  month  preceding  that  which  is  the  basis  of  the 
action  or.  if  greater,  that  at  least  thirty  days'  7iotice  of  such  increase  in 
writing  had  been  given  to  the  defendant  before  such  amount  had  been  so 
increased. 

Sec.  4-a.  For  the  purjiose  of  determining  the  fair  and  reasonable  rent 
or  rental  value,  the  value  of  the  real  property,  of  which  the  premises  in 
question  are  the  whole  m*  a  part,  shall  be  presumed  to  be  the  assessed 
valuation,  thereof  for  the  year  in  which  the  first  instalment  of  rent  or 
rental  value  for  which  the  action  is  brought  accrued. 

Sec.  3.  Sections  six.  eleven  and  twelve  of  such  act.  as  last  amended 
by  chapter  four  hundred  and  thirty-four  of  the  laws  of  nineteen  hundred 
aiifl   twenty-one.   are   hereby   amended   to  read,    respectively,   as   follows: 

Sec.  fi.  If  in  any  action  for  rent  or  rental  value,  the  Issue  of  fairness 
and  reasonableness  of  the  amount  demanded  in  the  complaint  be  raised 
by  the  defendant,  he  must  at  the  time  of  answering  deposit  with  the 
clerk  such  sum  as  equals  the  rent  or  rental  value  of  the  prem^ries  in 
arrears  computed  at  the  monthly  rate  of  the  rent  last  paid  or  rrserved 
as  the  monthly  rent  in  the  agreement  under  which  he  obtained  possession 
of  the  premises.  If  the  defendant  fail  to  make  such  deposit,  the  court 
shall  strike  out  the  denial  or  defense  raising  such  issue.  Where  the 
defendant  \\&  obliged  to  deposit  a  sum  computed  at  the  monthly  rateof 
the  rent  last  paid.]  deposits  a  sum  in  nrrordance  with  the  foregoing 
p7-ovisions  of  this  section,  whirh  is  less  than  the  amount  demanded  in  the 
com,plaint,  the  court,  on  motion  of  the  plaintiff  made  ex  parte  and  on 
affidavit  stating  the  facts.  .9haU  order  the  clerk  [shall,  on  demand  by 
plaintiff,!  to  nay  to  (he  plaintiff  the  amount  so  deposited,  and  there- 
after during  the  pendency  of  the  action  the  defendant,  on  demand,  shall 
pay  [such  monthly  rentl'rt  like  sum  monthly  directly  to  the  plaintiff,  on 
the  first  day  of  each  monthly  rental  period.. 

Where  the  defendant  [is  obliged  to  deposit  a  sum  computed  at  the 
rate  reserved  as  the  monthly  rent  in  the  agreement  under  which  he 
obtained  Dossession]  deposits  a  sum  equal  to  the  amount  demanded  in 
the  complaint  the  plaintiff  on  five  days'  notice  to  the  defendant  may 
apply  to  the  court  for  nn  order  permitting  him  to  withdraw  such  deposit

in  any  place  in  which  this  article  is  applicable,  in  the  buying,  selling, 
exchanging  leasing,  renting  or  negotiating  a  loan  upon  any  real  estate 
without  alleging  and  providing  that  such  person  was  a  duly  licensed  real

of  action  arose. 

Sec  442-f.  'Violations.  Any  person  who  violates  any  provision  of  this 
article  shall  be  guilty  of  a  misdemeanor.     In  case  the  offender  shall  have

money  received  by  him  as  such  commission,  compensation  or  profit  and 
not  more  than  four  times  the  sum  so  received  by  him,  as  may  be  deter- 
mined by  the  court,  which  penalty  may  be  sued  for  and  recovered,  by  any

persons  appointed  by  or  acting  under  the  judgment  or  order  of  any  court : 
or  public  officers  while  performing  their  official  duties,  or  attorneys  at

Sec.  442-h.  Nonresident  licensee.  A  nonresident  of  this  state  may  be- 
come a  real  estate  broker  or  a  real  estate  salesman,  in  any  place  in 
which  the  provisions  of  this  article  are  applicable,  by  conforming  to  all 
of  the  provisions  of  this  article,  except  that  such  nonresident  broker  or 
salesman  regularly  engaged  in  the  real  estate  business  as  a  vocation,  and 
who  maintains  a  definite  place  of  business  in  some  other  state,  shall  not 
be  required  to  maintain  a  place  of  business  within  this  state.  The  state 
tax  commission  shall  recognize,  in  lieu  of  the  recommendation  and  state- 
ments required  to  accompany  an  application  for  license,  the  license  is- 
sued to  a  nonresident  broker  or  salesman  by  another  state  and  shall 
issue  a  license  to  such  nonresident  broker  or  salesman  upon  payment  of 
the  license  fee  and  the  filing  by  the  applicant  with  the  commission  of  a 
certified  copy  of  the  applicant's  license  issued  by  such  other  state.  Every 
nonresident  applicant  shall  file  an  irrevocable  consent  that  suits  and 
actions  may  be  commenced  against  such  applicant  in  the  proper  court  of 
any  county  of  the  state  in  which  a  cause  of  action  may  arise  in  which 
the  plaintiff  may  reside,  by  the  service  of  any  process  or  pleading  author- 
ized by  the  laws  of  this  state,  on  the  state  tax  commission  or  a  deputy 
to  be  designated  by  it,  said  consent  stipulating  and  agreeing  that  such 
service  of  such  process  or  pleading  shall  be  taken  and  held  in  all  courts 
to  be  as  valid  and  binding  as  if  due  service  had  been  made  upon  said 
applicant  in  the  state  of  New  York.  Said  consent  shall  be  duly  acknowl- 
edged, and,  if  made  by  a  corporation,  shall  he  authenticated  by  the  seal 
of  such  corporation.  In  case  any  process  or  pleadings  mentioned  in  this 
act  are  served  upon  the  state  tax  commission  or  upon  a  deputy  to  be 
designated  by  it,  it  shall  be  by  duplicate  copies,  one  of  which  shall  be 
filed  in  the  office  of  the  commission  and  the  other  immediately  forwarded 
by  registered  mail  to  the  main  office  of  the  applicant  against  which  said 
process  or  pleadings  are  directed,  and  no  default  in  any  such  proceed- 
ing or  action  shall  be  taken  except  it  shall  appear  by  affidavit  of  a 
member  of  the  commission,  or  the  deputy  designated  by  it.  that  a  copy 
of  the  process  or  pleading  was  mailed  to  the  defendant  as  herein  required, 
and  no  judgment  by  default  shall  be  taken  in  any  such  action  or  pro- 
ceeding within  twenty  days  after  the  date  of  mailing  of  such  process  or 
pleading  to  the   nonresident  defendant. 

Sec.  442-i.  Pocket  card  tor  nonresident.  The  state  tax  commission 
shall  prepare  and  issue  to  each  nonresident  licensee  a  pocket  card  in  all 
respects  as  herein  provided  for  licenses  issued  to  resident  brokers  and 
salesmen,  except  that  the  pocket  card  accompanying  nonresident  licenses 
shall  be  of  a  different  color  so  as  to  distinguish  the  same  from  the  cards 
issued  to  resident  licensees. 

Sec.  442-j.  Roster  of  licensees.  The  state  tax  commission  shall  pub- 
lish, at  least  once  in  each  year,  a  roster  of  the  names  and  addresses  of 
all  persons,  firms  and  corporations  licensed  under  the  provisions  of  this 
article,  and  shall  publish  monthly  a  list  of  all  licenses  which  have  been 
suspended  or  revoked  during  thb  last  preceding  calendar  month.  Such 
lists  shall  also  contain  such  other  information  relative  to  the  enforce- 
ment of  the  provisions  of  this  article  as  the  commission  may  deem  of 
interest  to  the  public.  Copy  of  each  roster  or  list  issued  by  the  commis- 
sion shall  be  forwarded  to  the  city  clerk  of  each  county  in  the  state 
within  ten  days  after  its  publication,  and  the  same  shall  be  held  by  such 
city  clerk  or  county  clerk,  as  the  case  may  be,  as  a  public  record  for  a 
period  of  at  least  one  year.  A  copy  of  any  roster  or  list  issued  by  the 
commission  shall  be  mailed  by  it  to  any  person  in  the  state  upon  request

commission  may,  subject  to  the  civil  service  law,  employ  and  fix  the 
compensation  of  such  employees  as  may  be  necessary  for  the  efficient 
administration  of  this  article,  who  shall  exercise  such  of  the  powers  and 
perform  such  of  the  duties  conferred  upon  and  imposed  upon  the  state 
tax  commission  by  this  article  as  he  may  delegate  to  such  employees. 

Sec.  442-1.  Effect  of  invalid  provision.  Should  the  courts  of  this  state 
declare  any  provision  of  this  article  unconstitutional,  or  unauthorized, 
or  in  conflict  with  any  other  section  or  provision  of  this  article,  then 
such  decision  shall  affect  only  the  section  or  provision  so  declared  to  be 
unconstitutional  or  unauthorized  and  shall  not  affect  any  other  section 
or  part  of  this  article. 

Sec.  2.  This  act  shall  take  effect  immediately. 


Governor  Miller  Completes  Action  on  1922  Legislation 


(Continued  from  page  487) 
printing    should    hereafter   be   let   on    a   strictly   business    and    competitive 
basis. 

"Last  year,  in  spite  of  opposition,  'which  had  blocked  action 
for  at  least  two  years,  the  Legislature,  concurrently  -with  the 
Legislature  of  Ne-w  Jersey,  created  the  Port  District  of  New 
York  and  the  Port  Authority.  The  compact  between  the  two 
states  was  approved  by  the  Congress  of  the  United  States. 

"This  year  the  legislatures  of  the  two  states  approved  the 
comprehensive  plan  for  port  improvement  submitted  by  the  Port 
Authority.  For  more  than  fifty  years,  the  development  of  the 
Port  of  New  York,  involving  the  creation  and  co-ordination  of 
suitable  terminal  facilities,  has  been  neglected.  That  neglect 
has  imposed  a  heavy  burden  upon  the  commerce  of  the  coun- 
try and  has  promoted  discriminatory  rates  against  the  Port  of 
New  York  and  stimulated  efforts  to  create  other  outlets  to  the 
sea,  the  latest  and  most  ambitious  scheme  being  the  construc- 


tion of  the  St.  Lawrence  ship  canal.  Meanwhile,  the  burden  of 
excessive  terminal  costs  has  borne  heavily  upon  the  increasing 
population  of  the  port  district  and  upon  both  consumers  and 
producers  throughout  the  state  and  the  country  because  New 
York  is  a  great  distributing  as  well  as  receiving  center.  After 
all  the  years  of  delay,  this  problem  is  now  on  the  road  to  solu- 
tion. The  machinery  has  been  created  and  the  agency  has  been 
established  with  the  power  and,  I  believe,  the  ability  to  solve 
the  problem. 

"The  transit  situation  in  the  city  of  New  York  has  for  years 
been  growing  more  acute,  with  no  constructive  effort  being 
made  to  solve  it.  The  legislature  last  year  passed,  and  this  year 
improved,  an  act  which,  for  the  first  time,  provides  for  a  con- 
structive solution  of  the  problem  and  creates  an  agency  with 
the  power  to  solve  it.  That  problem  is  now  being  advanced 
on  the  road  to  a  solution  and  every  step  taken  is  in  the  public 
view."

Mr.  Moore  Closes  Y.M.C.A.  Realty  Training  LectureCourse 

Speaking  on  the  Management  of  Apartment  Houses  He  Emphasizes  Necessity  for 

Tact  and  Hard  Work  in  This  Field  of  Business 


MARKING  the  close  of  the  winter's  course  of  lectures 
by  prominent  realtors  before  the  Real  Estate  Training 
Class  of  the  West  Side  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  L.  H.  Moore,  of 
Douglas  L.  Elliman  &  Co.,  spoke  on  Tuesday  evening  on  "The 
Management  of  Apartment  Houses."  He  has  charge  of  that 
branch  of  his  firm's  business.  William  C.  Demorest,  of  the 
Realty  Trust,  presided,  and  introduced  the  speaker. 

"I  am  indeed  pleased,"  Mr.  Moore  said  in  opening,  "to  be  ablt 
to  talk  to  so  many  men  who  are  apparently  interested  in  a  busi- 
ness which  is  near  to  my  heart,  particularly  as  I  have  spent 
practically  my  entire  business  life  in  the  management  of  apart- 
ment houses.  If  I  were  asked  to  define  the  qualifications  neces- 
sary for  a  man  engaged  in  the  management  of  apartment  houses, 
I  believe  I  could  sum  up  with  two  important  requirements,  first, 
tact,  and  second,  the  ability  to  work  hard;  for  if  a  man  possesses 
these  two  fundamental  qualities  he  can,  without  doubt,  attain 
any  goal,  not  only  in  the  management  of  apartment  houses,  but 
in  any  field. 

"The  management  of  high  class  apartment  and  business 
buildings  has  long  since  passed  from  the  haphazard  method  to 
the  scientific  and  you  will  find  that  the  majority  of  buildings 
are  today  placed  in  the  hands  of  some  reputable  agent,  who  is 
charged  with  the  renting  and  complete  management  of  the 
building. 

"The  majority  of  real  estate  agents  specialize  in  certain  classes 
of  property  and  it  is  fair  to  assume  that  they  know  the  field 
infinitely  better  than  the  individual  who  may  operate  his  own 
property.  First,  they  have  a  wide  knowledge  of  values  in  their 
particular  section,  which  can  be  gained  only  by  being  in  con- 
stant touch  with  the  renting  market,  and  they  are  therefore 
able  to  advise  their  principals  intelligently  on  the  subject  of 
proper  rentals.  Second,  they  employ  experienced  brokers  who 
are  capable  of  giving  expert  advice  to  prospective  tenants,  and 
in  the  present  day  of  specialization  tenants  do  not  prowl 
around  looking  for  signs,  but  go  direct  to  the  agent  covering 
the  location  they  want,  thereby  saving  themselves  a  great  deal 
of  time  and  effort.  From  a  tenant's  standpoint  it  is  infinitely 
more  comfortable  to  go  over  plans  and  prices  sitting  at  a 
broker's  desk  than  it  is  to  walk  the  highways  and  byways  hop- 
ing to  find  an  apartment  which  will  meet  their  requirements 
and  pocketbook,  only  to  find  that  the  rooms  are  too  small,  or 
the  price  too  high,  or  the  hundred  and  one  other  things  that 
can  be  the  matter  with  an  apartment. 

"Most  real  estate  firms  maintain  a  management  department 
which  has  complete  charge  of  all  buildings  placed  in  the  agent's 
custody,  and  brokers  can  obtain  immediate  information  from 
this  source  as  to  whether  so  and  so  can  be  done  in  such  and 
such  a  building.  This  is  quite  an  important  point,  as  in  many 
cases  it  enables  a  broker  to  close  a  lease  on  the  spot,  while 
otherwise  there  is  a  chance  of  the  deal  falling  through,  due  to 
the  lack  of  information  being  instantly  obtainable,  and  the  ten- 
ant in  the  meanwhile  finding  something  else  which  he  thinks 
will  suit  him  better. 

"I  do  not  wish  to  convey  the  thought  that  tenants  are  rushed 
into  signing  leases,  but  I  know  of  many  cases  where  a  tenant 
has  been  most  enthusiastic  on  a  particular  apartment,  and 
while  waiting  for  a  decision  from  the  owner  on  some  point  he 
suddenly  grows  cold  and  decides  not  to  take  the  apartment. 
Upon  investigation  you  will  usually  find  that  some  other  alert 
broker  has  shown  him  something  else  and  your  deal  is  lost. 

"The  management  department  is  the  direct  representative  of 
the  owners  of  buildings,  and  all  matters  pertaining  to  these 
buildings  pass  through  their  hands.  They  are  directly  respon- 
sible for  approving  of  references  for  proposed  tenants,  draw- 
ing leases,  approving  the  amount  to  be  spent  for  decorating  for 
new  tenants,  awarding  contracts  for  work,  purchasing  all  sup- 
plies, employing  and  paying  help,  billing  tenants  for  rent  and 


sundry  charges,  collecting,  renewing  leases,  advertising  space 
for  rent,  listing  space  for  rent  with  other  brokers,  paying  com- 
missions on  leases,  paying  water  charges  and  taxes  and,  in 
many  cases,  paying  interest  on  mortgages,  building  up  a  reserve 
fund  for  unforeseen  emergency,  keeping  the  buildings  under 
their  control  properly  insured  with  the  various  forms  of  in- 
surance necessary,  handling  all  city  departments'  orders  and 
violations,  attending  to  tenants'  complaints,  making  inspections 
of  the  buildings  at  regular  intervals  and,  in  fact,  they  attend  to 
all  details  in  connection  with  the  operation  of  these  buildings. 

"There  are  a  few  important  points  with  regard  to  the  physical 
operation  of  high  class  apartment  buildings,  which  I  think  it 
would  be  well  to  bring  out.  First:  The  matter  of  coal 
storage,  which  is  of  e.xtreme  importance.  If  possible,  the  coal 
bunker  should  be  large  enough  to  hold  a  season's  supply,  or  at 
least  enough  to  carry  through  until  the  early  spring,  as  this  en- 
ables you  to  fill  up  whenever  you  find  a  particularly  good  run 
of  coal,  or  an  advantageous  price,  and  prevent  a  possible  shut 
down  in  case  of  a  strike  or  tie-up  due  to  traffic  conditions. 

"Next  comes  the  question  of  proper  laundry  facilities,  which 
is  of  serious  moment  in  view  of  the  present  difficulty  in  secur- 
mg  capable  domestic  workers.  The  ideal  location  is  in  the  pent 
house  on  account  of  the  light  but  if,  for  any  reason,  this  is  not 
feasible,  space  in  the  basement  can  be  made  quite  satisfactory. 
If  possible,  each  tenant  should  have  a  private  laundry,  equipped 
with  a  dryer,  three  tubs,  laundry  stove  for  boiling  clothes-  and 
heating  irons,  and  a  substantial  ironing  board. 

"You  would  be  surprised  to  know  how  few  buildings  are  orig- 
inally equipped  with  proper  facilities  for  handling  garbage. 
This  may  seem  to  you  a  small  detail,  but  if  you  have  ever  been 
in  the  basement  of  a  building  where  there  has  been  no  provi- 
sion made,  you  probably  realize  now  the  necessity  for  making 
one.  In  practically  all  high  class  buildings  individual  garbage 
cars  are  furnished  to  each  tenant,  and  the  garbage  is  collected 
at  a  specified  time. 

"In  the  larger  buildings  it  is  customary  to  purchase  outright 
all  electric  meters  for  the  various  apartments  and  the  owners 
make  a  contract  with  the  Edison  Company  for  all  electricity 
consumed  in  the  building  and  retail  it  to  the  tenants  through 
these  meters.  This  enables  the  owner  to  buy  current  on  prac- 
tically a  wohlesale  basis  and  sell  it  to  the  tenants  at  the  same 
rate  they  would  have  to  pay  to  the  Edison  Company.  It  is 
advisable  to  have  the  meters  maintained  by  a  reliable  company 
doing  this  sort  of  work  for  a  fixed  sum  per  annum.  They  read 
the  meters  monthly  and  render  to  you  a  statement  showing 
the  readings,  etc. 

"Another  departure  in  the  past  five  or  six  years  has  been  the 
elimination,  almost  entirely,  of  telephone  switchboards  in 
apartment  houses,  the  tenants  preferring  to  have  their  own 
private  telephones.  This  is  a  very  much  better  arrangement 
from  both  the  tenants'  and  landlords'  standpoint. 

"Modern  buildings  endeavor  to  furnish  to  tenants  every  con- 
ceivable convenience,  such  as  porter  and  vacuum  cleaning 
service  at  a  fixed  charge  per  hour,  wood  for  open  fires  in  small 
quantities  at  cost,  electric  lamps  of  any  size  desired  at  the 
same  price  charged  by  the  local  supply  store  and,  in  some  of 
the  larger  and  more  recent  buildings,  complete  housekeeping 
service  at  a  fixed  charge  per  hour,  day,  week  or  month.  In 
many  buildings  meal  service  can  be  obtained  at  any  time,  and 
there  are  many  other  special  services  too  numerous  to  mention. 

"Another  important  feature  is  the  provision  of  suitable  liv- 
ing quarters  on  the  premises  for  the  superintendent  of  the 
building.  The  lack  of  proper  quarters  has  caused  a  great  deal 
of  annoyance  in  the  past,  but  I  must  say  that  during  the  past 
five  or  six  years  the  majority  of  buildings  have  set  aside  ample 
space  for  this  purpose.  Usually  four  or  five  rooms  will  suffice.

Seventeen-Story  Apartment  Hotel  on  Famous  Church  Site 

American  Bond  &  Mortgage  Company  Underwrites  Bond  Issue  on  Project  Costing 
$1,500,000  to  Replace  Metropolitan  Tabernacle  at  Broadway  and  104th  Street 


WORKING  plans  are  being  prepared  in  the  offices  of 
Carrere  &  Hastings  and  R.  H.  Shreve,  associated  archi- 
tects, 52  Vanderbilt  avenue,  for  an  important  building 
project  that  will  involve  an  outlay  of  more  than  $1,500,000.  The 
operation  will  be  located  at  the  northeast  corner  of  Broadway 
and  104th  street,  upon  the  site  of  the  Metropolitan  Tabernacle. 
The  old  structure,  famous  in  its  day  among  religious  enthusiasts 
of  this  city,  is  now  being  demolished  by  wrecking  contractors  to 
make  way  for  the  construction  of  a  seventeen-story  apartment 
hotel. 

The  proposed  improvement  will  be  of  fireproof  construction 
throughout  and  will  embody  a  number  of  interesting  features  ir. 
both  design  and  equipment.  The  building  will  contain  approxi- 
mately 307  rooms,  which  will  be  completely  furnished  for  apart- 
ment hotel  purposes,  for  which  there  is  apparently  quite  a  de- 
mand in  the  neighborhood  in  which  this  project  is  located.  The 
main  entrance  to  the  building  will  be  on  the  One  Hundred  and 
Fourth  street  side  and  the  ground  floor  of  the  Broadway  front- 
age will  be  devoted  to  small  shops. 

The  property  upon  which  this  apartment  hotel  will  be  erected 
has  a  Broadway  frontage  of  73  feet  2  inches  and  the  One  Hun- 
dred and  Fourth  street  front  is  91  feet  5  inchs. 

This  property  is  owned  by  the  Realty  Sureties,  Inc.,  who  have 
been  negotiating  for  the  purchase  of  this  land  for  some  time 
past.  The  site  is  particularly  desirable  for  the  type  of  structure 
now  proposed,  as  there  are  very  few  available  corner  plots  on 
Broadway  now  in  the  market.  It  has  been  estimated  by  the 
owners,  who  will  also  operate  the  hotel  after  its  completion, 
that  the  net  annual  rentals  from  the  hotel  will  be  in  excess  of 
S18S,000.  The  owners  of  this  property  also  control  other  valu- 
able properties  in  the  vicinity  of  the  projected  improvement, 
which  will  later  be  utilized  as  sites  for  modern  buildings  as  the 
requirements  of  the  community  may  develop. 

The  new  building  scheduled  for  the  corner  of  Broadway  and 
One  Hundred  and  Fourth  street  has  been  financed  by  a  first 
mortgage  real  estate  bond  issue  of  $850,000  at  seven  per  cent., 
two  to  twelve  year  maturities,  and  is  offered  for  sale  by  the 
American  Bond  &  Mortgage  Company.  This  is  the  second 
large  building  project  on  a  prominent  Broadway  corner  plot  to 
be  financed  recently  by  this  company,  the  first  being  the  build- 
ing now  under  construction  at  the  northeast  corner  of  Broad- 
way and  Seventy-fourth  street  and  which  will  be  completed  soon.

Governor  Miller  Signs  Bill  Affecting  City  Construction  Contracts 


Gov.  MILLER  has  signed  the  bill  introduced  by  the  Joint 
Legislative    Committee    on   Housing   and    subsequently 
passed  by  the   Legislature,  which  amends  the   Greater 
New  York  charter,  in  relation  to  sub-contracts  in  cases  where 
the  principal  contractor  abandons  work  under  a  contract. 

The  law  formerly  stipulated  that  in  cases  where  any  work 
was  abandoned  by  any  contractor  it  was  required  to  be  read- 
vertiscd  and  relet  by  the  borough  president  under  whose  juris- 
diction it  came,  or  by  the  head  of  the  appropriate  department. 
The  revised  law  now  provides  that  "in  cases  where  any  work 


shall  be  abandoned  by  the  contractor  the  appropriate  borough 
president  or  the  head  of  the  appropriate  department  may,  if 
the  best  interests  of  the  city  be  thereby  served,  and  subject  to 
approval  by  the  Board  of  Estimate  and  Apportionment,  adopt 
on  behalf  of  the  city  all  sub-contracts  made  by  such  contractor 
for  such  work  and  all  such  work  shall  be  bound  by  such  adop- 
tion, if  made;  and  the  appropriate  borough  president  or  the 
head  of  the  appropriate  department  shall  in  the  manner  pro- 
vided in  this  section  readvertise  and  relet  the  works  specified 
in  the  original  contract  exclusive  of  so  much  thereof  as  shall 
be  provided  for  in  the  sub-contracts  so  adopted."

(Continued  from  page  491) 
It  is  distinctly  to  the  owner's  advantage  to  have  the  superin- 
tendent on  the  premises  at  all  times. 

"The  management  department  of  any  large  real  estate  organ- 
ization must  be  prepared  at  all  times  to  estimate  on  operating 
costs  from  plans  and,  because  of  their  experience  in  the  suc- 
cessful operation  of  a  number  of  buildings,  they  are  usually  in 
a  position  to  give  very  accurate  information  on  the  operating 


costs  of  a  new  project. 

"During  the  course  of  a  year,  the  managing  agent  of  a  num- 
ber of  properties  will  buy  a  great  deal  of  material  and  award 
many  contracts,  and  it  is  fair  to  assume  that,  on  account  of 
their  large  purchasing  power,  they  are  in  a  position  to  obtain 
lower  prices  than  could  be  obtained  by  the  individual.  Every 
possible  discount  should  be  taken  and,  of  course,  the  owner 
should  have  the  benefit  of  them."

Review  of  Real  Estate  Market  for  the  Current  Week 

Leases  Making  Large  Totals  Were  a  Feature,  While  the  Bulk  of  the  Dealing  Was 

in  Apartment  Houses  and  Dwellings 


THIS  was  a  week  of  varied  trading.  Probably  the  leasing 
market  afforded  as  interesting  transactions  as  any  in 
town.  Two  leases  of  more  than  ordinary  interest  was  the 
one  whereby  the  Royal  Baking  Powder  Company  took  a  floor, 
on  the  plans,  in  the  Pershing  Square  Building,  in  course  of 
construction  opposite  Grand  Central  Terminal,  and  the  lease 
by  Robert  E.  Bonner  to  a  long  time  lessee  of  the  southeast 
corner  of  Madison  avenue  and  S6th  street.  Each  lease  was  for 
an  aggregate  rental  of  more  than  $1,000,000.  By  going  uptown 
the  baking  powder  company  is  following  numerous  other  large 
corporations,  who  find  the  Grand  Central  zone  their  logical 
centre.  Less  than  fifteen  years  ago,  and  for  many  years  previ- 
ously, the  company  occupied  a  double  brick  building  near  the 
foot  of  Wall  street;  then  it  removed  to  large  space  in  100  Will- 
iam street;  and  subsequently  it  erected  a  large  office  building. 
much  of  which  it  occupied,  at  the  southwest  corner  of  William 
and  Fulton  streets.  Not  a  long  while  ago  it  sold  its  property, 
presumably  with  the  uptown  removal  in  view.  It  all  illustrates 
an  important  steady  northward  trend.    The  lease  of  the  Bonner 


holdings  on  Madison  avenue  means  the  demolition  of  three 
more  fine  old  private  dwellings  to  make  way  for  trade. 

Of  considerable  interest  to  many  old  estates  as  well  as  to  the 
market  generally  is  the  announcement  that  61  parcels  of  real 
estate  form  the  total  amount  to  be  taken  for  the  creation  of  the 
Manhattan  plaza  of  the  vehicular  tunnel  from  this  borough  to 
Jersey  City.  This  is  more  property  than  the  commission  con- 
templated taking  one  year  ago,  or  at  least  more  than  it  an- 
nounced that  it  would  take.  The  particular  parcels  are  reported 
in  another  column. 

There  were  no  striking  sales  during  the  week.  Among  the 
good  ones  were  the  sale  to  Max  N.  Natanson  of  the  12-story 
loft  building  on  the  north  side  of  East  24th  street,  just  east  of 
Fourth  avenue  ;  a  site  for  a  large  elevator  apartment  house  on 
East  84th  street,  near  Madison  avenue  ;  a  double  loft  building  in 
Wooster  street;  the  Fargo  dwelling  on  Park  avenue;  the  pur- 
chase by  the  tenants  of  a  Bleecker  street  corner  ;  a  group  of 
properties  on  East  14th  street  by  the  estate  of  William  Waldorf 
Astor  ;  some  first  class  elevator  and  walk-up  apartment  houses, 
and  numerous  good  dwellings. 


PRIVATE  REALTY  SALES. 


THE  total  number  of  sales  reported  but  not 
recorded  in  Manhattan  this  week,  was  75 
as  against  S2  last  week  and  78  a  year  ago. 

The  number  of  sales  south  of  5!lth  st  was  21 
as  compared  with  14  last  week  and  32  a  year 
ago. 

The  number  of  sales  north  of  59th  st  was  54 
as  compared  with  68  last  week  and  46  a  year 
ago. 

From  the  Bronx  42  sales  at  private  contract 
were  reported,  as  against  85  last  week  and  22 
a  year  ago. 

Statistical  tables,  including  the  number  of  re- 
corded instruments,   will  be  found  on  page  493.

Lakewood   Acreage   Sold 

All  the  realty  holdings  of  iVathan  Straus  and 
Max  Nathan  in  Lakewood,  N.  J.,  have  bee^. 
sold  to  F.  W.  Todd  of  A.  M.  Bradshaw  &  Co. 
of  Lakewood.  The  properties  comprise  75  acres 
surrounding  the  Lakewood  Hotel,  bounded  by 
Madison  av,  Squankum  rd,  7th  and  14th  st. 
They  also  Include  a  block  front  of  the  hotel 
known  as  Lakewood  Hotel  Park  and  82  acres  of 
land  adjoining  Georgian  Court,  the  estate  of 
George  J.  Gould,  once  the  home  of  the  Lake- 
wood  Country  Club  and  later  used  by  the  Pine 
Forest  Club. 

Mr.  Todd  represents  a  syndicate  of  local  de- 
velopers  who   will   sell   off  the   property    in    lots 


through  the  A.  M.  Bradshaw  Co.  It  is  reported 
that  the  property  brought  $300,000  in  cash. 
The  buyers  will  probably  reserve  a  block  of 
the  land  on  the  site  of  the  cottage  once  occupied 
by  the  late  President  Grover  Cleveland.  Noth- 
ing has  been  done  to  the  property  since  Mr. 
Cleveland  occupied  it,  but  it  is  now  surrounded 
by  hotels  and  residences. 

The  sale  is  the  largest  and  most  important 
that  has  been  made  in  Lakewood  since  the  A. 
M.  Bradshaw  Co.  sold  to  George  J.  Gould  and 
John  D.  Rockefeller  their  estates.  It  is  held 
that  the  location  of  the  undeveloped  grounds 
has  materially  hindered  Lakewood's  growth,  and 
it  is  now  estimated  that  more  than  .$1,000,000 
will  be  spent  during  the  coming  summer  for 
building   purposes    on    this   tract.

TALK  TO  YOUR  BANKER 

TIME  was  when  men  never  seemed  to  think  of  consulting'  a  banker  unless 
they    wanted    to    borrow    money    or    were    in    financial    difficulties    of    some 
kind. 
Nowadays^    wide-awake    business    men    drop   in    for   an    informal    chat    once    in 
awhile. 

A  furniture  man  who  only  talks  to  other  furniture  men  doesn't  get  a  clear 
picture  of  general  business  conditions.  Your  banker  talks  to  business  men 
in  many  different  lines.  Often  he  knows  something  about  the  leather  business 
or  the  silk  business  or  the  varnish  business  that  the  furniture  man  would  be 
glad  to  know. 

Yon  are  cordially  invited  to  consult

BUILDING    SECTION 


$6,000,000  Housing  Operation  Planned  Under  New  Law 

Metropolitan  Life  Insurance  Company  Retains  A.  J.  Thomas  as  Architect  for  Fifty 
Modern  Multi-Family  Dwellings  in  Queens  at  Low  Monthly  Rentals 


FOLLOWING  Gov.  Miller's  signature  last  Friday  of  the 
Lockwood  Committee  bill,  which  permits  New  York  life 
insurance  companies  to  invest  up  to  ten  per  cent,  of  their 
assets  in  residential  construction,  one  of  the  largest  housing 
projects  ever  attempted  in  this  vicinity  will  shortly  be  com- 
menced by  the  Metropolitan  Life  Insurance  Company.  The 
operation  now  under  consideration  is  intended  to  provide  mod- 
ern living  accommodations  at  extremely  reasonable  rentals  for 
a  large  number  of  people,  and  if  the  initial  operation  proves 
successful  from  a  financial  standpoint  it  will  be  the  forerunner 
of  a  number  of  similar  projects.  Success  of  this  project  will 
undoubtedly  bring  about  a  decided  drop  from  the  extortionate 
rents  now  being  charged  for  inferior  accommodations  in  old- 
fashioned  tenements  in  this  city. 

Immediately  after  the  news  came  from  Albany  that  Gov. 
Miller  had  acted  favorably  upon  the  bill  permitting  life  insur- 
ance companies  to  invest  in  housing  construction  under  certain 
definite  conditions,  the  Metropolitan  Life  Insurance  Company 
announced  its  plans  for  an  extensive  residential  development 
along  the  lines  laid  down  in  the  statute.  The  company's  plans 
are  practically  matured  for  immediate  work  on  a  development 
operation  which  embodies  numerous  interesting  features  and 
it  is  anticipated  that  the  first  of  the  homes  to  be  started  under 
the  new  law  will  be  completed  and  ready  for  occupancy  before 
the  end  of  the  coming  summer.  By  October,  the  time  prac- 
tically recognized  at  the  height  of  the  annual  renting  season, 
it  is  hoped  that  the  first  group  authorized,  involving  fifty 
modern  multi-family  houses,  will  be  entirely  completed  and 
ready  for  tenants. 

The  new  law  specifically  stipulates  that  the  insurance  com- 
panies availing  themselves  of  its  permissive  provisions  may 
construct  these  residential  projects  upon  the  condition  that 
the  rentals  charged  shall  not  exceed  $9  per  room  per  month. 
After  an  extensive  investigation,  in  which  careful  studies  were 
made  of  numerous  modern  housing  operations  in  various  parts 
of  the  United  States  and  even  abroad,  the  Metropolitan  officials 
are  convinced  that  the  company  will  be  able  to  construct  living 
structures  according  to  the  most  up-to-date  ideas  of  planning 
and  completely  equipped  with  all  necessary  sanitary  conveni- 
ences, to  rent  at  the  figure  stated  in  the  law  as  the  maximum 
and  still  obtain  a  profitable  return  on  the  investment  and  be  able 
to  amortize  a  favorable  percentage  of  the  total  cost  of  construc- 
tion. In  addition,  these  dwellings  will  be  so  planned  as  to  pro- 
vide light  and  air  far  in  excess  of  that  found  in  the  ordinary  type 
of  city  apartment,  and  this  in  itself  will  go  a  long  way  toward 
holding  the  properties  at  a  high  standard  of  valuation. 

During  the  time  the  Lockwood  Committee  was  working  at 
Albany  to  secure  the  passage  of  this  bill  the  real  estate  experts 
of  the  Metropolitan  Life  were  making  careful  surveys  of  the 
available  land  in  this  city  that  could  be  utilized  as  sites  for 
the  projected  housing  developments.  After  practically  all  sec- 
tions of  New  York  City  were  canvassed  it  was  unanimously 
agreed  that  the  Borough  of  Queens  offered  the  best  opportuni- 
ties for  work  along  the  proposed  lines;  first,  because  the  ground 
values  are  relatively  low  as  compared  with  possible  sites  m 
other  boroughs,  and,  second,  because  the  available  sites  in 
Queens  are  relatively  close  to  transportation  lines  to  the  busi- 
ness centers. 
Rapid  transit  facilities  between  the  locations  under  consider- 


;'lion  and  the  business  districts  of  Manhattan  are  excellent. 
There  is  a  choice  of  the  B.  R.  T.  Subway  line  and  the  Steinway 
tunnel,  both  of  which  will  bring  residents  of  the  new  dwellings 
into  the  Times  Square  district  in  about  seventeen  minutes.  The 
present  plans  contemplate  building  in  locations  within  twenty 
to  thirty  minutes  of  Manhattan,  and  this  is  considerably  better 
than  would  be  possible  from  available  sites  in  the  Bronx  or 
Brooklyn. 

Officials  of  the  Metropolitan  Life  have  several  possible  sites 
under  consideration.  These  are  in  the  Borough  of  Queens,  and 
tliere  is  every  likelihood  that  beioi  l  the  end  of  this  week  an 
announcement  will  be  made  as  to  which  property  will  be 
selected  as  the  location  for  the  first  group  of  multi-family 
dwellings  to  be  erected. 

Andrew  J.  Thomas,  an  architect  of  national  reputation  for  his 
ability  in  planning  multi-family  structures  and  recognized  as 
the  orginator  of  the  garden  type  of  apartment  that  has  become 
so  popular  in  semi-suburban  districts  of  this  city  during  the 
i)ast  six  years,  has  been  retained  by  the  Metropolitan  Company 
to  design  and  plan  the  first  group  of  buildings  to  be  constructed 
under  the  new  law. 

Although  the  working  plans  for  this  operation  have  not  yet 
been  started  and  the  architect  has  only  submitted  his  prelimi- 
nary studies  to  the  officials  of  the  Metropolitan,  his  outline  of 
what  is  proposed  as  the  fundamentals  of  this  development  indi- 
cates that  the  completed  project  will  be  unusual  in  many  re- 
spects. While  not  radical  from  any  viewpoint  of  design  or 
plaiinmg,  these  structures  will  embody  features  never  before 
encountered  in  dwellings  ofifered  for  rentals  as  low  as  $9  per 
roori-  per  month. 

After  devoting  much  study  to  the  original  idea  of  construct- 
ing these  apartments,  the  architect  and  the  officials  of  the 
Metropolitan  Life  decided  upon  apartments  of  the  garden  type 
as  the  most  appropriate  and  offering  the  best  solution  to  the 
various  problems  of  planning.  The  first  operation  to  be  started 
will  consist  of  the  development  of  an  area  involving  four  city 
blocks,  600  x  200  feet.  Upon  this  land  fifty  modern  multi-family 
houses  will  he  erected,  to  provide  living  accommodations  for  at 
least  1,800  families,  or  approximately  5,000  to  6,000  individuals. 
The  preliminary  studies,  as  submitted  by  the  architect,  call 
for  buildings  four  stories  in  height,  with  basements,  constructed 
according  to  the  most  substantial  standards  of  modern  building 
practice.  Each  individual  house  will  accommodate  thirty-six 
families,  having  eight  apartments  to  each  floor  and  two  suito>s 
in  the  basements,  which  will  be  well  above  the  grade  level.  The 
living  units  will  consist  ot  three,  four  and  five  rooms,  each  ur.it 
with  bath,  the  buildings  will  be  heated  by  steam  and  lighted 
by  electricity,  and  will  contain  all  of  the  comforts  and  conveni- 
ences commonly  found  in  apartments  that  usually  rent  at  far 
liigher  prices. 

All  of  these  features  can  be  included  in  this  project  because 
of  the  extreme  economy  with  which  Mr.  Thomas  has  planned 
his  buildings.  In  the  first  place,  the  area  of  the  separate  plots 
to  be  covered  by  the  buildings  allows  a  large  percentage  to  be 
utilized  as  gardens  and  play  spaces  for  the  children  who  will 
live  in  these  apartments.  The  preliminary  plans  call  for  gardens 
in  the  rear  forty  feet  in  depth,  and  the  street  to  yard  courts  will 
be  at  least  forty  feet  in  width. 
These  courts  will  therefore  have  dimensions  far  greater  than

RECORD    AND    GUIDE

those  required  by  the  Tenement  House  law  and  will  result  in 
excellent  natural  light  and  ventilation  for  all  apartments.  There 
vv-ill  be  no  dark  rooms  in  the  houses  to  be  erected  by  the  Metro- 
politan Company,  and  the  tenants  in  this  respect  will  fare  far 
better  than  they  formerly  have  in  the  old-fashioned  tenements 
'n  the  congested  quarters  of  the  other  boroughs. 

Although  the  architect  in  planning  has  eliminated  every  inch 
of  waste  space  from  his  plans,  the  various  living  units  will  con- 
•ain  rooms  of  good  size  and  excellent  proportions  and  will  con- 
tain ample  closet  space  and  all  other  conveniences  required  by 
the  tenants  for  sanitary  and  comfortable  living.  A  very  definite 
idea  of  the  economy  with  which  these  structures  are  being 
planned  may  be  obtained  by  the  fact  that  the  architect  has 
arranged  a  total  of  thirty-six  rooms  on  an  area  of  only  slightly 
more  than  five  thousand  square  feet,  and  the  final  studies,  from 
which  the  working  plans  will  be  developed,  will  undoubtedly 
improve  on  this. 

Although  all  waste  space  has  been  eliminated  in  planning, 
nothing  necessary  to  the  comfort  and  health  of  the  tenants  has 
been  sacrificed.  On  the  other  hand,  they  will  obtain  better- 
arranged  living  units  than  has  heretofore  been  thought  possible 
at  prices  much  higher,  and,  in  addition,  will  benefit  materially 
from  the  open  areas  provided  by  the  plot  planning. 

The  construction  of  these  apartments  will  be  substantial  in 
every  respect,  and  while  the  elevations  will  be  without  super- 
ficial ornamentation,  they  will  be  pleasing  in  appearance.  The 
construction  will  be  of  brick  and  the  farades  will  be  trimmed 
with  limestone  and  terra  cotta,  but  the  relief  carving  frequently 
found  in  multi-family  houses  will  be  left  out  in  this  instance 
and  its  cost  devoted  to  better  materials  and  equipment.  The 
buildings  will  include  all  modern  living  conveniences,  but  the 
interior  of  the  apartments  will  not  be  finished  and  decorated  in 
quite  the  style  of  higher-priced  living  suites.  While  there  will 
be  steam  heat,  hot  water,  electric  lights  and  modern  bath  room 
equipment  and  kitchen  devices,  the  floors  may  not  be  of  parquet 
oak  and  the  lighting  fixtures  may  not  be  as  ornate  as  those 
where  rentals  are  much  higher.  In  fact,  it  will  be  mainly 
through  the  smaller  economies  effected  in  planning  and  equip- 


ment that  the  Metropolitan  Company  expects  to  be  able  to 
build  these  apartments  and  rent  them  at  the  price  of  $9  per 
room  per  month  or  less. 

Mr.  Thomas  stated  that  one  of  the  fears  in  the  mind  of  Gov. 
Miller  during  the  time  he  was  debating  upon  the  wisdom  of 
signing  the  bill  was  the  possibility  of  a  substantial  drop  in 
construction  costs  and  its  effect  upon  these  buildings  if  erected. 
The  Governor  was  advised,  however,  both  by  the  architect  and 
by  the  officials  of  the  Metropolitan  that  the  safeguards  provided 
in  the  planning,  the  economies  made  possible  by  getting  the 
most  living  space  on  the  minimum  of  ground  area,  would  more 
than  offset  any  depreciation  brought  about  by  lowered  material 
prices  and  construction  costs. 

The  principal  factor  which  is  believed  to  make  it  possible  for 
the  Metropolitan  Company  to  go  ahead  with  these  plans  with 
a  reasonable  certainty  of  success  is  the  low  land  value  upon 
which  the  projected  apartments  will  be  constructed  and  the 
savings  to  be  effected  through  the  purchase  of  materials  in  large 
quantities. 

Walter  Stabler,  comptroller  of  the  Metropolitan  Life  Insur- 
ance Company,  stated  early  in  the  week  that  his  company  was 
not  quite  ready  to  announce  the  full  particulars  of  its  plans  nor 
to  tell  the  exact  location  of  the  first  houses  to  be  started  under 
the  new  law.  He  added,  however,  that  the  initial  investment  of 
the  company  will  be  approximately  $6,000,000,  and  that  the 
apartments  will  be  models  in  every  respect. 

Haley  Fiske,  president  of  the  company,  announced  that  after 
the  news  of  the  intention  of  his  company  to  start  work  under 
the  new  law  had  become  known  he  had  been  approached  by  a 
group  of  financiers  seeking  a  loan  of  $7,000,000  with  which  to 
start  a  building  project  involving  four  hundred  houses.  In  ad- 
dition to  the  millions  this  group  plans  to  borrow  from  the  in- 
surance company,  he  said,  its  members  are  prepared  to  invest  a 
substantial  amount  of  other  capital  and  promised  the  insurance 
company  that  the  project  would  be  on  a  rental  basis  of  not 
more  than  $9  per  room  per  month.  Still  another  group  of 
wealthy  men  have  told  Mr.  Fiske  that  they  are  prepared  to  buy 
the  Metropolitan's  first  fifty  houses  when  completed.

Mayor  Hylan  vetoed  the  bill  to  amend  the  New  York  City

have  been  or  shall  hereafter  be  tried  together  before  the  same 
jury  and  in  which  the  parties  shall  have  or  shall  hereafter  stipulate 
that  the  testimony,  decision  or  judgment  shall  be  binding  on  them,

places  insurance  rate  making  associations  under  the  supervision

Construction  Awards  Keeping  Pace  With  New  Projects 

Tabulations  by  F.  W.  Dodge  Company  Show  Commitments  in  Greater  New  York 
Average  Well  with  Totals  for  Newly  Planned  Building  Operations 


CONTRACTS  awarded  for  new  building  and  engineering 
construction  are  maintaining  their  lead  over  newly  pro- 
jected work,  and  as  a  result  the  local  building  industry 
has  more  actual  business  in  hand  at  present  than  it  has  had  for 
many  months  :^ast.  According  to  figures  tabulated  by  the  F. 
W.  Dodge  Company  for  the  territory  including  all  of  New  York 
State  and  New  Jersey,  north  of  Trenton,  755  new  building  and 
engineering  operations  were  reported  in  the  planning  stage  dur- 
ing the  fifteenth  week  of  this  year.  This  proposed  construction 
represents  a  total  value  of  $25,773,800.  During  the  same  period 
455  contracts  were  awarded  at  a  total  cost  of  $24,559,400.  Newly 
reported  construction  in  Greater  New  York  during  the  past 
week  involved  335  contemplated  operations  at  an  estimated 
value  of  $14,296,500,  and  147  operations  placed  under  contract 
at  a  total  cost  of  $16,193,000. 

The  group  of  335  contemplated  projects  scheduled  for  loca- 
tions in  New  York  City  include  67  business  buildings,  such  as 
stores,  offices,  lofts,  commercial  garages,  etc.,  $2,773,000;  4  edu- 
cational operations,  $241,000;  4  hospitals  and  institutions,  $44,- 
000;    10   factory   and   industrial   buildings,   $1,113,000;   7   public 


v/orks  and  public  utilities,  $279,000;  5  religious  and  memorial 
structures,  $132,000;  231  residential  operations,  including  apart- 
ments, flats  and  tenements  and  one-  and  two-family  dwellings, 
$9,052,000,  and  7  social  and  recreational  projects,  $662,500. 

In  the  list  of  147  operations  for  which  contracts  were  awarded 
in  (Greater  New  York  during  the  week  of  April  8  to  14,  inclusive 
were  25  business  buildings  of  various  types,  $7,979,000;  1  educa- 
tioaal  project,  $400,000;  1  hospital,  $40,000;  3  factory  and  indus- 
trial buildings,  $61,000;  2  religious  and  memorial  structures, 
$455,000;  114  residential  projects,  such  as  apartments,  flats  and 
tenements  and  one-and  two-family  dwellings,  $7,158,000,  and  1 
social  and  recreational  project,  $100,000. 

A  study  of  these  totals  for  New  York  City  reveals  the  man- 
ner in  which  residential  construction  practically  dominates  the 
local  building  situation.  Nearly  all  of  this  type  of  construction 
is  speculative  in  character,  and  there  is  every  reason  to  antici- 
pate that  its  volume  will  grow  continuously  throughout  the 
coming  months,  as  the  architects  who  specialize  in  work  of  this 
character  state  that  they  are  being  besieged  with  orders  for 
plans.

April  22,  1922 


CURRENT    BUILDING    OPERATIONS 


LOCAL,  construction  interests  have  been 
impressed  by  the  volume  of  high-class 
construction  placed  under  contract  dur- 
ing- the  past  week  or  ten  days  and  as  a 
result  of  the  new  business  released  the 
outlook  for  the  industry  has  materially 
improved.  One  of  the  significant  signs 
of  the  progress  toward  a  real  revival  has 
been  the  number  of  handsome  residence 
projects  announced  tor  an  early  start. 
During  the  past  few  weeks  there  have 
been  contracts  placed  for  quite  a  group 
of  private  dwelling  operations  that  range 
in  cost  upward  of  $35,000  each.  Apart- 
ment house  construction  maintains  its 
lead  in  Greater  New  York,  but  there  is 
also  a  growing  volume  of  interesting 
commercial  and  industrial  work  being 
offered  for  estimates.  Local  building 
material  markets  are  reflecting  the  gen- 
eral improvement  in  the  building  situa- 
tion and  orders  for  supplies  are  growing 
in  number  and  value.  Prices  are  firm  in 
practically  all  lines  and  there  is  a  strong 
feeling    that   advances   are    imminent. 

Common  Brick — Business  in  the  whole- 
sale market  for  Hudson  River  common 
brick  has  been  fairly  active  during  the 
past  week.  Sales  were  numerous  and  in- 
dicate a  growing  demand  for  this  com- 
modity. Inquiries  also  continue  to  in- 
crease and  dealers  feel  that  the  coming 
months  will  be  certain  to  develop  into 
one  of  the  most  active  seasons  on  record 
from  a  brick  selling  viewpoint.  Hudson 
River  common  brick  prices  are  quite  firm 
and  it  is  the  current  opinion  that  present 
levels  will  hold  for  some  time  to  come. 
Manufacturing  operations  are  scheduled 
to  start  in  the  Hudson  River  district  in 
the  very  near  future  and  producers  are 
now  making  active  preparations  for  the 
start  of  the  season.  Although  labor  is  not 
plentiful  the  principal  "worry  of  the  manu- 
facturers at  present  is  that  of  fuel  supply 
and  production  is  likely  to  be  seriously 
curtailed  unless  the  coal  strike  is  speedily 
settled  so  that  this  commodity  will  be 
available  as  dust  and  fuel  for  the  com- 
mencement of  manufacturing  operations 
along  the  river. 

Summary — Transactions  in  the  North 
River  common  brick  market  for  the  week 
.ending  Thursday,  April  20,  1922.  Condi- 
tion of  market:  Demand  good;  prices  firm 
and  unchanged.  Quotations;  Hudson 
Rivers,  J16  to  $16.50  a  thousand  to  dealers 
In  cargo  lots  alongside  dock.  Number  of 
cargoes  arrived,  28;  sales,  32.  Distribu- 
tion; Manhattan,  6;  Bronx,  1;  Brooklyn, 
19;   New   Jersey  points,  4;   Astoria,   2. 

Lumber — Greater  activity  is  being  mani- 
fest in  both  wholesale  and  retail  depart- 
ments of  the  lumber  business  and  dealers 


are  certain  that  the  buying  movement  is 
only  commencing.  There  is  a  tremendous 
volume  of  projected  construction  ready 
to  start,  and  within  the  next  week  or  ten 
days  the  demand  is  likely  to  increase 
rapidly.  At  presnt  the  lumber  demand 
is  considerably  greater  than  the  produc- 
tion, but  manufacturing  conditions  are 
improving  and  the  output  will  no  doubt 
be  increased  to  satisfy  all  reqquirements. 
Prices  are  holding  firm  and  no  changes  of 
importance  have  been  announced  during 
the  past  week. 

Structural   Steel — There   has   been   a   de- 


cided change  for  the  better  in  the  vol- 
ume of  new  business  presented  for  esti- 
mates during  the  past  week  or  so  and 
tonnage  commitments  have  also  increased. 
The  award  of  contracts  for  fabricated 
material  for  several  large  operations  in- 
volves an  important  total  tonnage  for 
the  week  and  the  outlook  for  the  local 
steel  interests  is  steadily  growing  brighter. 
The  records  of  the  Bridge  Builders  and 
Structural  Society  for  the  month  of  March 
show  a  decided  upturn  to  the  national 
steel  market  situation.  This  report  shows 
that    during    the    month    139,300    tons    of

MATERIALS    AND    SUPPLIES 


fabricated  structural  steel  was  contracted 
for  throughout  the  United  States.  This 
tonnage  is  equivalent  to  seventy-seven 
per  cent,  of  the  entire  capacity  of  the 
bridge  and  structural  shops  of  the  coun- 
try. Steel  prices  are  firm,  but  there  are 
rumors  that  the  coal  strike  situation  may 
possibly  curtail  production  and  influence 
stronger  prices  before  long. 

Builders'  Hardware — Demand  for  these 
items  is  fair  and  is  growing  from  day 
to  day,  and  when  it  is  considered  that  this 
Is  only  the  beginning  of  the  building  sea- 
son  the   prospects   for   a   most   active    de- 


mand throughout  the  coming  months  is 
excellent.  Both  manufacturers  and  deal- 
ers are  confident  that  the  business  this 
season  will  be  far  ahead  of  previous  post- 
war years  and  as  a  result  the  trade  is  in 
an  optimistic  frame  of  mind.  Prices  are 
steady  and  no  important  changes  are  an- 
ticipated at  this  time. 

Rooflng  Papers — Demand  for  both  roof- 
ing and  building  papers  is  increasing  rap- 
idly and  the  outlook  for  a  continuation  of 
good  business  is  particularly  bright.  Re- 
ports from  suburban  districts  indicate  a 
large  amount  of  small  house  construction

and  general  community  building,  and  as  a 
result  dealers  are  anticipating  a  steady 
growth  in  the  demand  for  these  materials. 
Stocks  are  generally  reported  as  being  in 
good  shape  for  the  coming  demand  and 
prices  are  firm. 

Window  Glass — Dealers  in  plate  and 
window  glass  are  in  anticipation  of  a 
season  of  more  than  usual  activity  in 
tills  line.  The  demand  is  increasing  rap- 
idly, and  from  the  manner  in  which  new 
construction  is  piling  up,  particularly  in 
New  York  City,  there  is  every  reason  to 
believe  that  the  requirements  during  the 
latter  part  of  the  summer  will  severely 
strain  the  sources  of  supply.  There  is 
sufficient  glass  in  sight  for  all  current 
demand  and  reserves  are  said  to  be  sat- 
isfactory, but  what  will  happen  when  the 
mass  of  newly  projected  building  reaches 
the  final  stages  along  toward  next  autumn 
remains  problematical.  Jobbers  are  con- 
fident that  there  will  be  sufficient  glass 
to  fill  all  requirements,  but  they  feel  that 
prices  are  likely  to  react  to  some  extent 
as  a  result  of  the  greatly  increased  de- 
mand. 

Electrical  Siipplies — Business  in  the 
electrical  supply  line  has  shown  a  very 
definite  improvement  during  the  past  two 
or  three  weeks  and  local  jobbers  are  of 
the  opinion  that  trade  conditions  will 
continue  to  improve  as  the  building  sea- 
son gains  headway.  March  sales  were  far 
ahead  of  the  totals  for  the  previous 
month,  according  to  a  number  of  selling 
interests,  and  the  outlook  is  excellent  for 
even  greater  totals  during  the  months  to 
come.  There  have  been  a  number  of  Im- 
portant contracts  recently  placed  for 
wiring  supplies  to  be  used  in  commercial 
and  apartment  house  projects  in  this  city, 
and  a  number  of  contractors  apparently 
feel  that  current  quotations  on  conduit, 
wire,  cable,  etc.,  are  sufficiently  attrac- 
tive for  tliem  to  buy  for  future  require- 
ment. Prices  are  fairly  steady  and  no 
changes  of  consequence  have  been  re- 
corded  recently. 

Nails — During  the  past  week  or  so  there 
has  been  a  better  tone  of  the  nail  mar- 
ket. Demand  is  improving  as  a  result  of 
the  rapidly  reviving  interest  in  construc- 
tion affairs,  and  dealers  are  anticipating 
an  active  buying  season.  Recently  there 
liave  been  persistent  rumors  of  higher 
prices  for  nails,  but  as  yet  no  definite 
announcements  of  advances  have  been 
made  by  the  important  manufacturers. 
Current  New  York  quotations  on  wire 
nails  range  from  $3.15  to  $3.25  base  per 
keg,  and  cut  nails  are  reported  selling  at 
$3.90  to  $5  base  per  keg.

Provide  Sufficient  Outlets 

Arrangements  having  been  completed 
for  the  installation  of  Central  Station  Ser- 
vice in  the  building  you  are  remodeling  or 
constructing  be  sure  that  you  next  provide 
for  a  sufficient  number  of  well  placed  outlets 

Your  tenants,  whether  they  be  occupying 
offices  or  homes,  will  want  to  use  Electrical 
Appliances.  It  is  less  expensive  to  do 
wiring  while  a  building  is  in  course  of 
construction  or  alteration  than  after  it  has 
been  finished

In  that  giant  among  giants — the 
Equitable  Building — what  parti- 
tion to  use  was  a  serious  ques- 
tion. 

You  can  imagine  that  with  the 
stream  of  tenants  moving  and 
changing  continually  the  cost  of 
building  new  partitions  might 
easily  be  tremendous. 

There  was  not  only  the  cost  of 
the  material  destroyed  if  plaster 
partitions  were  used,  but  the 
dust  annoyance  to  the  tenants 
had  to  be  thought  of. 

Every  type  of  partition  material 
was  considered  and  rejected  for 
one  reason  or  another. 

Finally  Empire  Steel  Partitions 
was  decided  upon  because  of  the 
"ease  and  economy"  with  which 
it  can  be  moved  whenever  ten- 
ants require  alterations. 


"The  partitions  embodying  the 
EMPIRE  STEEL  construction 
give  us  a  flexible  partition  which 
can  be  used  on  nearly  every 
floor,  and  which  can  be  moved  at 
low  cost,  without  expensive 
waste  or  damage.

New  York  and  London 

Statistics  again  have  been  evoked  to  prove  that  Greater 
New  York  is  greater  than  Greater  London,  with  tlie  usual 
result — the  younger  and  more  modern  city  is,  according  to 
this  latest  enumeration  as  all  recent  American  estimates 
have  made  it,  way  ahead  of  the  municipality  which  long  held 
first  rank  in  population,  in  financial  standing  and  in  political 
influence.  This  most  recent  compilation  of  figures  gives 
New  York  a  population  of  7,820,676  to  London's  7,476,168. 
living  within  a  radius  of  nineteen  miles  from  City  Hall  and 
from  Charing  Cross  respectively.  What  the  figures  really 
prove  is  nothing  more  than  that  the  world's  two  largest 
cities  are  practically  on  even  terms  so  far  as  population  goes, 
because  the  basis  upon  which  the  estimate  rests  is  arbitrary 
and  subject  to  modification  according  to  the  fancy  of  each 
new  statistician. 

There  is,  however,  no  getting  away  from  the  truth  that 
New  York's  ratio  of  increase  has  been  very  much  more 
rapid  than  that  of  the  British  metropolis,  and  that  it  is 
probable  this  faster  growth,  although  on  a  diminishing  scale, 
will  continue  for  many  years  to  come.  There  are  good  and 
sufficient  reasons  for  this  belief.  The  factors  which  made 
London  the  chief  city  of  the  world  are  the  British  system  of 
colonization,  its  shipping  business  and  its  control  of  inter- 
national finances  because  of  its  pre-eminence  in  the  import 
and  export  trade  with  every  quarter  of  the  globe.  London 
without  Liverpool  and  with  only  the  shallow  Thames  in 
which  to  dock  its  cargo  carriers  would  never  have  been  able 
to  dominate  the  shipping  business  of  the  Seven  Seas.  New 
York,  on  the  other  hand,  has  one  of  the  safest,  most  capa- 
cious and  most  beautiful  harbors  in  the  two  hemispheres. 
It  can  dock  the  commercial  navies  of  the  world  in  its  land- 
locked waters  and  still  have  room  for  the  fleets  of  the  fu- 
ture. This  harbor  with  natural  advantages  exceeded  bv  no 
other  port  is  now  to  be  scientifically  developed,  which  will 
increase  the  business  done  here  and  add  materially  to  the 
relative  importance  of  America's  commercial  capital. 

London  has  a  limited  agricultural  area  in  the  small  isles 
back  of  it  to  provide  subsistence  for  its  teeming  population. 
New  York  is  on  the  water  edge  of  a  rich  contributory  con- 
tinent who^e  mineral  and  agricultural  resources  are  not  as 
yet  fully  developed.  Each  city  is  in  the  heart  of  a  manu- 
facturing district  in  which  up  to  the  outbreak  of  the  war 
there  was  used  about  the  same  amount  of  horse  power. 
But  the  manufacturing  capacity  of  the  LTnited  .States  is 
comparatively  much  greater  now  than  at  that  time,  and  the 
chief  outlet  for  the  surplus  machine  products  of  the  countr) 
is  the  port  of  that  city  which  handles  the  hulk  of  its  over- 
seas' trade. 

England  had  reached  the  zenith  in  ship])ing  and  in  for- 
eign trade  when  war  came,  while  America  had  no  commer- 
cial navy  and  a  comparatively  negligible  business  with  other 
countrie  .  Now  the  tables  are  reversed  and  our  flag  is  in 
every  port  in  the  world  and  our  merchants  sell  to  those  of 
every  other  language.  The  ]K)und  sterling  used  to  lie  the 
only  medium  of  international  transactions.  The  dollar  now 
halves  the  business,  and,  whereas  British  bankers  controlled 


the  financial  policies  of  smaller  nations  through  the  medium 
of  loans,  the  bonds  of  these  covmtries  are  now  being  handled 
l)y  American  bankers  on  terms  fixed  in  this  market. 

These  and  other  well-known  considerations,  rather  than 
the  bare  census  figures,  show  that  the  supremacy  of  the 
cities  of  the  world  has  moved,  or  to  be  modest,  is  moving 
from  the  old  landmark  to  the  new  Eldorado.  It  bespeaks 
a  glowing  future  for  New  York,  which  is  the  impersonation 
of  the  greatness  of  America,  as  London  has  always  stood 
for  the  predominance  of  Great  Britain. 


Further  Patience  Hardly  Possible 

The  testimony  which  Samuel  Gompers,  President  of  the 
American  Federation  of  Labor,  gave  before  the  Lockwood 
Committee  last  week  is  not  generally  considered  as  promis- 
ing early  reforms  in  the  building  labor  situation.  It  has, 
on  the  contrary,  served  to  intensify,  and  to  a  great  extent 
confirm,  the  feeling  that  labor  has  definitely  adopted  a  policy 
of  "We  can  do  this;  but  you  can't  do  that"  toward  the  em- 
ployers which  does  not  harmonize  with  its  previously-ex- 
pressed desire  to  co-operate  for  the  complete  stabilization  of 
the  industrv  and  the  speedy  return  of  normal  economic  con- 
ditions. 

Mr.  Gompers  declared  while  on  the  witness  stand  that  die 
remedy  for  existing  labor  evils  is  not  legal  regulation  but 
patience.  But  how  can  the  building  industry,  for  instance, 
remain  patient  indefinitely  when  confronted  with  a  situation 
that  for  several  years  past  has  actually  prevented  industrial 
progress  and  stultified  the  ambition  of  associations,  firms 
and  individuals  to  exert  the  maximum  eflfort  because  of  the 
burden  of  adverse  conditions  they  have  been  called  upon  to 
carry  ? 

Employers  in  the  building  industry,  particularly  those  who 
have  been  caused  untold  difficulties  of  operation  because  of 
the  arbitrary  and  frequently  hostile  attitude  of  organized 
labor,  feel  that  the  requests  for  further  patience  is  not  be- 
coming one  of  the  professional  eminence  of  Mr.  Gompers. 
This  call  for  continued  patience  is  generally  regarded  as 
camouflage,  particularly  at  this  time  when  the  local  building 
unions  seem  to  control  the  situation  and  apparently  have  no 
intention  of  easing  up  conditions  or  doing  aything  but  in- 
sist upon  maintaining  their  selfish  and  self-seeking  attitude. 

The  "outlaw"  strikes  for  wages  higher  than  those  fixed 
by  their  own  union  scales,  as  recently  complained  of  by  the 
Building  Trades  Employers'  Association,  constitute  a  situa- 
tion that  plainly  comes  within  the  authority  of  President 
( iompers  and  provides  him  with  an  opportunity  to  show  the 
building  industry  to  what  extent  he  is  honestly  interested  in 
reforming  alnises  and  stabilizing  relations  between  employ- 
ers and  workers.  The  American  Federation  of  Labor  should 
bring  what  influence  it  has  to  bear  upon  the  unions  respon- 
sible for  ]iermitting  these  practices  and  to  make  the  workmen 
hold  to  their  collective  bargains  and  refrain  from  instituting 
the-e  "outlaw"  strikes,  which  only  add  to  the  burden  of  a 
harassed  industry. 

The  promotion  element  of  the  building  industry  feels, 
and  rightly  so,  that  Mr.  Gompers  only  excuses  what  he  can- 


518

not  defend  and  undoubtedly  should  denounce.  A  saner 
attitude  on  the  part  of  the  President  of  the  A.  F.  of  L. 
would  accomplish  more  at  this  juncture  to  settle  the  out- 


standing difficulties  between  local  building  trade  employers 
and  unions  than  any  other  factor,  and  it  would  furthermore 
have  a  salutary  effect  upon  the  industry  in  general. 


Taxpayers  May  Have  to  Refund  $12,000,000  Back  Taxes  Paid  by  Banks 


(Special  to  The 

Albany,  April  27. 

IN  a  vigorous  attack  upon  certain  national  banks  for  their 
attitude  on  the  question  of  the  taxation  of  their  shares, 
the  State  Tax  Commission  has  warned  property  owners  in 
all  the  local  tax  districts  in  the  State  of  the  possibility  of  their 
being  called  upon  to  return  $12,000,000  in  local  taxes  paid  by 
national  banks  during  the  past  two  years  and  which  the  banks 
are  now  trying  to  have  repaid  to  them.  The  Tax  Commission 
places  directly  upon  these  banks  the  responsibility  for  defeat 
up  to  the  present  time  of  needed  legislation  to  prevent  this 
"gross  injustice"  to  the  taxpayers  of  some  twenty  states,  in- 
cluding New  York. 

The  situation  was  brought  about  by  a  recent  decision  of  the 
United  States  Supreme  Court  in  the  case  of  a  bank  in  Rich- 
mond, Va.,  interpreting  a  law  passed  in  1864  at  the  close  of 
the  Civil  War,  when  methods  of  taxation  were  radically  differ- 
ent from  those  prevailing  today,  giving  the  states  authority  to 
tax  the  shares  of  national  banks  under  certain  restrictions. 

"The  rate  of  the  levy  and  the  method  followed  in  making  it," 
the  statement  says,  "have  been  the  same  in  this  State  for  the 
past  twenty  years,  and  were  originally  fixed  in  compliance  with 
the  urging  of  the  banks  themselves.  But  an  unlocked  for 
opportunity  has  come  in  the  Richmond  decision  which  has  been 


Record  and  Guide) 

seized  upon  by  certain  New  York  national  banks  to  evade 
their  just  taxes  for  a  period  of  two  years  on  a  technicality 
which  the  New  York  State  Tax  Commission  believes  is  wholly 
without  justice  or  fairness  to  other  taxpayers  or  to  the  state 
banks  and  trust  companies  which  are  not  affected  by  federal 
laws. 

"The  total  of  such  taxes  sought  to  be  recovered  amounts 
in  this  State  to  nearly  $12,000,000,  and  every  dollar  of  it  belongs 
to  the  local  districts.  If  the  efforts  of  the  banks  are  successful 
the  sums  recovered,  together  with  interest,  will  have  to  be 
contributed  as  added  taxes  by  the  remaining  taxpayers  of  the 
cities,  towns,  villages  and  school  districts,  principally  the 
holders  of  real  estate,  and  returned  to  the  national  banks. 

"The  only  adequate  remedy  for  the  situation  is  by  amend- 
ment to  the  archaic  federal  statute  (section  5219  of  the  U.  S. 
Revised  Statutes)  and  the  validation  by  Congress  of  the  taxes 
which  have  already  been  paid.  A  bill  to  accomplish  this  pur- 
pose was  prepared  at  a  conference  of  the  tax  officials  of  some 
twenty  states  in  Washington  recently  and  has  been  introduced 
in  Congress.  The  bill  is  known  as  H.  R.  9579,  and  is  in  the  hands 
of  the  Committee  on  Banking  and  Currency  of  the  House.  It 
was  introduced  by  Congressman  McFadden,  chairman  of  that 
committee,  and  a  similar  bill  has  been  introduced  in  the  Senate 
by  Senator  Wadsworth  of  New  York." 


Future  Plans  Outlined  at  Annual  Meeting  of  New  York  Building  Congress 


THE  first  annual  meeting  of  the  New  York  Building  Con- 
gress was  held  in  the  United  Engineering  Societies  Build- 
ing, 29  West  Thirty-ninth  street,  Tuesday  afternoon, 
April  18. 

President  S.  P.  Voorhees  occupied  the  chair  and  after  dis- 
posing of  the  minutes  of  the  previous  meeting  called  for  the 
annual  reports  of  the  officers  and  standing  committees. 

The  report  of  President  Voorhees  was  mainly  a  resume  of 
the  purposes  for  which  the  organization  was  formed  and  an 
outline  of  the  work  now  under  way.  This  report  also  briefly 
described  the  efforts  to  be  made  during  the  coming  year  but 
their  details  were  left  for  the  later  reports  of  the  various  com- 
mittee chairmen  entrusted  with   these  undertakings. 

The  president's  report  also  touched  upon  the  three  specific 
things  accomplished  by  the  Congress  during  the  past  year. 
The  first  was  the  establishment  of  an  industry  conscience  in 
place  of  the  craft  consciousness  which  heretofore  had  existed 
much  to  the  detriment  of  progress  in  the  construction  industry. 
The  second  was  the  Code  of  Ethics  formulated  by  the  Congress 
and  which  is  now  recognized  as  one  of  the  most  constructive 
pieces  of  industrial  literature  ever  published.  This  Code  has 
received  wide  publicity  and  is  being  used  as  the  basis  of  similar 


trade  documents  in  various  parts  of  the  United  States.  The 
third  and  most  important  of  the  accomplishments  of  the  Con- 
gress during  its  first  year  was  the  establishment  of  a  plan  for 
fostering  apprenticeship  in  the  building  trades.  The  plan  of  the 
committee  in  charge  of  this  work  is  to  establish  trade  classes 
in  which  young  men  can  be  trained  in  the  various  crafts  and 
also  in  citizenship.  The  Building  Trades  Employers'  Associa- 
tion and  the  Building  Trades'  Council  have  both  given  their 
approval  of  the  plan  as  outlined  and  will  co-operate  fully  in 
ma':ing  it  successful. 

Burt  Fenner  is  the  chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Apprentice- 
ship and  in  his  report  he  described  at  considerable  length  the 
plans  as  already  approved  and  the  support  he  has  received  from 
all  concerned  in  the  training  of  these  apprentices  assures  the 
success  of  this  undertaking. 

The  Nominating  Committee  presented  the  following  slate  for 
election  as  officers  for  the  ensuing  year:  Stephen  F.  Voorhees, 
president;  Andrew  J.  Post,  vice-president;  Alexander  Kelso, 
vice-president;  Charles  Ewing,  vice-president;  Benjamin  D. 
Traitol,  treasurer  and  Richard  A.  Wolff,  secretary.  Upon  mo- 
tion the  secretary  was  instructed  to  cast  a  single  ballot  for  the 
election  of  the   officers. 


Architects  and  Contractors  Appoint  New  Arbitration  Committee 


THE  New  York  Chapter  of  the  American  Institute  of 
.Architects  and  the  Building  Trades  Employers'  Associa- 
tion have  appointed  a  committee  to  deal  with  vexatious 
questions  that  may  arise  between  individual  architects  and 
builders  and  to  study  and  pass  on  questions  of  policy  that  may 
be  of  joint  importance  to  builders  and  architects. 

In  discussing  the  formation  of  this  committee  a  member 
stated  that  it  occurs  frequently  that  in  superintending  a  build- 
ing an  architect  may  make  a  decision  to  which  the  builder 
objects,  and  it  often  happens  that  the  builders  make  rules, 
enter  into  combinations  or  individually  refuse  to  comply  with 
the  terms  of  an  agreement  in  a  way  to  which  the  architect 
objects.  Heretofore  there  has  been  nobody  to  whom  an  appeal 
could  be  made,  the  architect's  strength  reposing  on  the  uncer- 
tain condition  that  his  good-will  might,  in  the  future,  affect 
the  interests  of  the  builder,  and  the  builder's  strength  lying  in 


the  growing  domination  of  the  Building  Trades  Employers' 
Association  and  the  individual  organizations  of  the  trades  which 
has  manifest  itself  in  the  fact  that  if  one  builder  refused  to. 
complete  a  project  it  was  difficult,  and  in  several  trades  im- 
possible, to  get  another  contractor  to  take  it  up  and  complete  it. 
It  will  be  the  duty  of  the  committee  recently  formed  to  pass 
upon  questiorK  of  this  character  and  to  act  as  a  court  or 
tribunal.  The  committee  is  composed  of  three  members  from 
the  Building  Trades  Employers'  Association  and  three  from 
the  New  York  Chapter  of  the  American  Institute  of  Architects. 
Burt  L.  Fenner,  of  the  firm  of  McKim,  Mead  &  White,  has 
been'  elected  chairman,  and  J.  E.  Rutzler,  president  of  E. 
Rutzlcr  &  Co.,  steam  heating  contractors,  is  secretary.  The 
other  members  of  the  committee  are  Benjamin  W.  Morris  and 
S.  F.  Voorhees,  representing  the  Chapter,  and  C.  G.  Normin 
and  Fred  T.  Youngs,  representing  the  builder.';'  association.

REAL    ESTATE     SECTION 


Leases  Made  Since  Oct.  1 ,1920,  Not  Subject  to  Rent  Laws 

Appellate  Division  Unanimously  Upholds  Contention  of  Landlords  That  Emergency 
Legislation  Created  Two  Classes  of  Tenants,  One  Preferred 


ONE  of  the  most  important  of  the  numerous  court  deci- 
sions in  respect  to  the  Emergency  Rent  Laws  was  hand- 
ed down  in  the  Supreme  Court,  Appellate  Division,  First 
Department,  on  April  21,  in  which  it  was  set  forth  that  the 
Legislature  had  created  a  preferred  class  of  tenants  by  the 
enactment  of  laws  applying  only  to  those  who  held  leases  on 
dwellings,  apartments  or  tenement  houses  prior  to  Oct.  1,  1920. 
The  decision  was  in  favor  of  the  Farnham  Realty  Corporation, 
owners  of  the  Wellsmore  apartment  house,  2178  Broadway, 
against  William  M.  Posner,  a  tenant,  who  leased  an  apartment 
in  the  Wellsmore  after  the  rent  laws  went  into  effect,  moved  in 
and  paid  the  rent  for  eight  months  and  then  sought  to  recover 
part  of  the  rent  so  paid  on  the  ground  that  it  was  excessive 
and  the  written  lease  unjust  and  unreasonable.  The  opinion, 
by  Justice  Alfred  R.  Page,  in  which  the  court  concurred  unan- 
imously, follows  ;

PAGE,  J.  : 

The  action  to  recover  rent  for  the  month  of  July,  1921,  under  a  written 
lease  of  an  apartment  in  premises  in  the  Borough  of  Manhattan,  dated 
on  October  6,  1S>20,  for  a  term  of  one  year  and  11^  months  commencing 
on  October  15,  1020.  The  defendant  entered  into  possession  on  or  about 
said  last  mentioned  date,  and  has  ever  since  continued  in  possession 
thereof,  and  has  paid  the  rent  called  for  by  the  terms  of  the  lease  up  to 
and  including  the  rent  payable  by  the  terms  thereof  for  the  month  of 
June,  1021.  A  copy  of  the  lease  is  annexed  to  the  complaint,  and  by 
stipulation  of  the  parties  the  denials  of  the  complaint  were  withdrawn, 
and  the  fact  is  admitted  that  the  defendant  made  the  deposit  required  by 
Chapter  044,  Laws  of  1020.  The  court  took  under  consideration  the  mo- 
tions for  judgment  on  the  pleadings  under  Rule  112.  and  for  summary 
judgment   under  Rule   113,    The   separate   defense   alleges: 

"Sixth  :  That  the  rent  sought  to  be  recovered  in  this  action  and 
referred    to    in    paragraphs    'Second,'    'Fourth'    and    'p"'irth'   of    the 
amended   complaint   herein    is   unjust   and   unreasonable,   and   that 
the   agreement   alleged    in    said    paragraphs   of   the   amended    com- 
plaint, under  which  said  rent  is  sought  to  be  recovered,  is  oppres- 
sive." 
The  purpose  of  this  defense  is  to  allow  the  defendant  to  take  advantage 
of  the  provisions  of  Chapter  136  and  944  of  the  Laws  of   1020.     If,  as  a 
matter  of  law,  those  statutes  apply  to  this  case,  then  the  defense  presents 
a   triable   issue  ;    therefore   summary   judgment   should   not  be  given   under 
Rule  113,   but  the  question  is  properly   presented  by  the  motion   for  judg- 
ment on  the  pleadings. 

In  People  ex  rel.  Durham  Realty  Corporation  v.  LaFetra  (230  N.  Y. 
420),  the  opinion  states,  "The  official  explanation  of  the  law  appended  to 
and  submitted  with  the  bill  (chap.  442  L.  1020)  states  its  purpose  and 
effect  to  be  'to  do  away  with  the  anxiety  of  many  people  in  New  York 
who  have  been  served  with  notices  to  move  on  October  1.'  This  de- 
clared purpose  draws  with  it  the  consideration  of  a  group  of  statutes 
enacted  at  the  same  session  to  meet  a  supposed  crisis,  which  are  closely 
related  to  each  other;  are  a  part  of  the  same  plan  of  I'emedial  protection 
to  the  tenants  in  possession  on  October  first,  and  can  be  fairly  understood 
only  when  considered  as  parts  of  one  comprehensive  design."  (p.  137.1 
The  court  then  summarized  the  condition  and  events  which  led  to  the 
Legislative  investigation,  and  further  said,  "While  the  inadequacy  of 
housing  facilities  in  cities  had  become  a  matter  of  world-wide  concern, 
in  the  closely  settled  metropolis  it  was  a  problem  of  the  utmost  gravity, 
calamitous  in  its  possibilities.  The  Legislature,  unequal  to  the  task  of 
caring  for  all.  decided  to  make  the  tenarits  in  possession  a  preferred 
class  by  staying  until  November  1,  1022,  all  proceedings  to  disposses 
them,  except  for  the  reasons  hereinafter  stated,  so  long  as  they  paid  a 
'reasonable  rent.'  which  Is  the  term  used  for  a  statutory  charge  for  use 
and  occupation,  to  be  ascertained  judicially  through  a  method  provided 
by  the  statutes.  The  owners  of  dwellings,  including  apartment  and  tene- 
ment houses  •  •  •  were  therefore  wholly  deprived,  until  November 
1.  1022.  of  all  possessory  remedies  of  removing  from  their  premises  the 
tcjinnts   or    occupants    in   possession   when    the    Iq'Ios    took    effect,     •      *     ♦ 


providing  such  tenants  or  occwpants  are  ready,  able  and  willing  to  pay  a 
reasonable  rent  or  price  for  their  use  and  occupation."  (pp.  438,  439.) 
"One  class  of  landlords  is  selected  for  regulation  because  one  class  con- 
spicuously offends;  one  class  of  tenants  has  protection  because  all  who 
seek  homes  cannot  be  provided  with  places  to  sleep  and  eat.  Those  who 
are  out  of  possess^ioti,  loiUing  to  pay  exorbitant  rentals,  or  unable  to  pay 
any  rental  whatever,  have  been  left  to  shift  for  theinselves.  But  such, 
classifications  deny  to  no  one  the  equal  protection  of  the  laws.  The  dis- 
tinction between  the  groups  is  real  and  rests  on  a  substantial  bases." 
(p.  447.  The  italicization  in  this  and  the  following  quotations  is  mine.) 
Judge  McLaughlin,  in  his  dissenting  opinion  in  Edgar  A.  Levy  Leasing 
Co.,  Inc.,  V.  Siegel  (230  N.  Y.  634,  640),  which  be  reference  he  made  the 
grounds  of  his  dissent  in  the  Durham  Realty  case,  stated  that  he  agreed 
with  the  majority  of  the  court  that  the  legislative  purpose  "was  to  make 
tenants  in  possession  a  preferred  class  until  November  1,  1922."  In  Mar- 
cus Brown  Holding  Co.  v.  Feldman  (2(50  Fed.  Rep.  306),  Hough,  Circuit 
Judge  (sitting  with  Mayer  and  A.  N.  Hand,  District  Judges),  writing 
for  the  court  in  construing  these  same  laws,  used  similar  expressions  to 
those  quoted  above,  limiting  the  scope  and  effect  of  the  laws  to  "the  ten- 
ants or  occupants  of  September  1,  1020"  (p.  31)  ;  "that  the  legislative 
desire  is  to  maintain  for  about  two  years  the  SepteTnber  status  of  the 
kind  of  dwellings  •  •  •  ,  This  statute  is  to  be  maintained  against 
the  landlord's  will  if  necessary,  but  at  the  option  of  the  tenants,  for  the 
landlord  cannot  select  his  tenants,  but  must  accept  what  may  be  called 
the  statutory  tenants,  yet  every  such  tenant  is  and  will  be  as  free  to  de- 
part and  choose  another  landlord  as  he  loas  before  September,  1920" 
(p.  312).  "Again  it  is  said  that  these  statutes  put  an  end  to  the  liberty 
of  contract,  and  take  property  for  a  private  use,  and  therefore  in  both 
respects  amount  to  a  denial  of  due  process  of  law.  That  0-5  to  one  and  a 
very  large  fraction  of  the  contractual  engagements  current  in  this  city 
there  is  no  liberty  of  contract  under  these  statutes  cannot  be  denied,  and 
that  property  is  taken  from  the  landlord  for  the  use  of  the  statutory 
tenant  is  also  true"  (p.  313).  "Such  demand  raised  the  market  value  of 
the  old,  and  correspondingly  diminished  economic  equality,  or  equality 
in  bargaining,  between  any  actual  landlord  and  any  would-be  tenant, 
either  new  or  old.  Such  conditions  produced  a  reason  deemed  eufficlent 
by  the  Legislature  to  prefer  in  the  struggle  foi-  living  space  the  tenant 
in  possession  to  all  others  and  to  them  was  given  the  option  of  remaining 
at  a  reasonable  rent,  so  called^really  a  statutory  charge  for  use  and 
occupation"  (p.  315).  "If,  therefore,  the  allotment  of  necessaries  in 
times  of  stress  is  a  governmental  function  known  to  historic  law.  and 
the  business  now  affected  is  (in  such  circumstances)  uncapable  to  being 
affected  with  a  public  interest,  nothing  remains  of  plaintiff's  contention, 
except  the  complaint  of  inequality  in  legal  protection,  i.  e.  classification. 
This  is  the  nub  of  the  matter,  for  it  is  plain  that  a  reason  must  be  clear 
which  justifies  on  fundamental — i.  e.  constitutional — principles,  the  selec- 
tion of  one  class  of  landlords  for  regulation  and  one  class  of  tenants  for 
favor   and   protection"    {p.    317). 

From  these  extracts  from  the  opinions  of  the  Court  of  Appeals  and  the 
United  States  District  Court  for  this  District,  it  clearly  appears  that  the 
intent  of  the  Legislature  was  judicially  declared  to  be  to  make  a  pre- 
ferred class  of  those  tenants  who  were  in  possession  of  dwellings,  apart- 
ments or  tenement  houses,  prior  to  October  1,  1020,  and  to  permit  them 
to  remain  in  possession  until  November  1.  1022.  so  long  as  they  paid  a 
reasonable  rent  to  be  ascertained  in  the  manner  prescribed  in  the  statute. 
The  only  justification  for  the  exercise  of  the  extraordinary  power  to  take 
control  of  private  property  and  devote  it  to  private  use.  to  suspend  the 
ordinary  processes  of  the  courts,  to  impair  the  obligations  of  contracts 
and  to  interfere  with  the  freedom  to  contract,  was  found  in  the  police 
power  of  the  state  in  dealing  with  a  public  emergency,  which  the  Legis- 
lature declared  existed.  It  should  be  clearly  borne  in  mind,  that  the 
emergency  was  not  the  advance  in  rents  by  reason  of  the  housing  short- 
age as  a  sequence  of  the  World  War,  for  the  prices  of  food,  clothing  and 
the  other  necessities  of  life  had  advanced  proportionately  with  the  rentals 
of  real  estate.  The  emergency  arose  from  the  fact  that,  by  reason  of 
the  inadequacy  of  housing  facilities,  those  in  possession  were  required  to 
pay  exorbitant  rents  under  threat  of  dis])osses3ion,  and  that  upwards  of 
100,(if>0  such  proceedings  had  been  ins^tituted  in  the  City  of  New  York. 
The  turning  into  the  streets  of  400.000  or  500.000  persons,  or  the  alterna- 
tive of  submission  to  extortionate  demands  for  rent,  created  the  emer- 
gency. The  demand  that  the  tenant  submit  to  extortion  or  have  his 
family  put  upon  the  street,  was  held  to  have  interfered  with  the  freedom 
to  contract,  as  one  of  the  parties  was  under  duress. 

None  of  those  considerations  operated  in  the  case  of  the  person  out  of 
possession  who  was  seeking  a  home.  As  between  such  a  person  and  the 
landlord  they  ptood  on  an  equality.  If  the  landlord  demanded  more  than 
the  prospective  tenant  was  willing  to  pay.  he  could  refuse  to  make  the 
lease,  and  both  parties  were  in  the  same  position  that  they  were  before. 
If  he  signed  the  lease  at  the  high  rental,  he  voluntarily  assumed  the 
burden,  and  could  not  claim  that  duress  was  exercised  when  he  paid  the 
then  market  price  ;  for  we  may  assume  that,  having  a  freedom  of  choice, 
he  -selected  that  which  was  reasonable  in  comparison  with  others  that 
were   offered.     If  rentals  were  so  high,   by   reason   of  scarcity  of  housing

Comptroller  Says  1923  Budget  Will  Equal  Thatof  This  Year 


At  Real  Estate  Board's  Monthly  Dinner 
Rate  Will  Probably  Be 

THE  monthly  dinner  of  the  Real  Estate  Board  of  New 
York,  held  at  Delmonico's  on  Thursday  evening  of  last 
week,  was  of  more  than  usual  interest  to  those  realtors 
who  attend  the  dinners  because  the  city's  finances  were  discussed 
by  City  Comptroller  Charles  L.  Craig.  The  Comptroller  was  in 
a  happy  mood  and  seemed  glad  of  the  opportunity  to  talk 
to  real  estate  men  on  all  phases  of  the  activities  of  his  office. 
His  mind  appeared  to  be  stored  with  all  the  ledgers  and  records 
of  his  department  as  he  quoted  at  random  all  kinds  of  sums 
from  fifty  cents  to  millions  of  dollars.  He  was  the  only  speaker 
of  the  evening,  and  when  he  had  finished  he  received  a  rising 
vote  of  thanks  from  the  diners. 

President  Charles  G.  Edwards,  of  the  Board,  presided.  Much 
of  the  first  half  of  the  Comptroller's  address  was  an  elucidation 
of  the  financial  system  of  the  city.  The  latter  half  of  his 
speech  embodied  things  that  trained  real  estate  men  and  prop- 
erty owners  were  pertinently  interested  in — the  taxes  of  this 
year  and  the  prospects  of  taxation  next  year. 

"We  are  now  limited  to  a  tax  rate  of  two  per  cent,  for  city 
and  county  purposes,"  Mr.  Craig  explained.  "The  expenses  of 
the  city  this  year  will  be  in  ^cess  of  the  $350,000,000  budget. 
The  tax  rate  in  the  Borough  of  Richmond  is  above  the  consti- 
tutional limit.  The  high  cost  of  city  government  is  due  to  the 
fact  that  the  Legislature  of  1920  increased  the  salaries  of  pub- 
lic school  teachers.  Other  salaries  had  to  be  cut  $17,000,000  in 
order  to  meet  the  increase  for  teachers.  The  state  should  have 
paid  the  difference,  in  my  opinion,  for  the  theory  is  that  educa- 
tion of  the  youthful  population  is  a  state  function.  Instead, 
the  Legislature  ordered  the  city  to  raise  the  money.  We  bor- 
rowed money  in  order  to  pay  the  increase  and  some  of  this 
obligation  is  carried  forward  into  the  budgets  of  1921  and  1922." 

Comptroller  Craig  declared  that  no  reduction  could  be  ex- 
pected in  the  budget  for  1923,  in  view  of  the  added  burden 
for  new  men  in  the  Police  Department  and  other  unavoidable 
obligations  confronting  the  Administration.  Discussing  the 
workings  of  his  department,  the  Comptroller  said  : 

"It  is  an  ancient  rule  that  the  Comptroller  must  borrow  money 
until  the  taxes  come  in.  It  is  a  good  thing  for  all  of  us  that 
the  credit  of  the  city  is  as  high  as  it  is.  The  city  subsist.<=  on 
borrowed   money.     It   pays   out   money   as    fast   as   it   gefs   it. 

"Perhaps  a  resume  of  the  city's  general  financial  status  will 
be  of  as  much  interest  to  you  gentlemen  as  anything  [  can 
talk  about.  The  total  debt  incurring  power  of  the  city  within 
the  debt  limit  is  2  per  cent,  of  the  assessed  valuation  of  taxable 
real  estate,  which  for  this  year  amounts  to  $1,024,999,183.  From 
this  debt  are   excluded  the  county  bonds   of  the  five   counties. 


Mr.  Craig  Explains  Why  Next  Year's  Tax 
no  Lower  Than  for  1922 

the  debt  for  water  supply  and  for  revenue  producing  transit 
and  dock   improvements. 

"The  indebtedness,  within  the  debt  limit,  is  placed  at  $832,- 
518,682.  and  the  difference  is  the  $192,480,500.  This  indebtedness 
included  these  items :  Gross  funded  debt  as  of  January  last, 
$1,678,875,150;  for  county,  water  and  transit  bonds,  $338,177,279; 
sinking  fund  holdings  for  redemption  of  the  debt,  $574,047,945 
and  other  funded  debts,  including  contract  liabilities,  street 
opening  improvements  and  land  liabilities,  $65,868,757. 

"The  $55,332,189  deducted  from  the  total  debt  limit  includes 
$6,237,796  for  dock  improvements,  $45,677,777  for  school  and 
other  general  purposes  and  several  transit  contracts,  and  $3,- 
416,616  for   certain   stock   and  bond   issues." 

The  city's  method  of  figuring  is  disputed  by  the  legislative 
committee  which  investigated  the  municipal  finances  last  year, 
but  the  Comptroller's  statement  will  be  accepted  by  the  Board 
of  Estimate  unless  assailed  in  the  courts.  This  means  that  the 
Hylan  administration  can  proceed  to  spend  the  $137,148,311  in 
any  way  it  desires. 

'On  January  1,  1918,  the  city's  debt  limit  was  $50,270,155.96 
and  its  unencumbered  margin  available  for  additional  authori- 
zation was  $18,419,078.91.  These  figures  compare  with  the  debt 
limit  of  April  1,  1922,  of  $192,480,500.99,  and  an  unencumbered 
margin   of  $137,148,311.20. 

"The  statement  of  the  city's  funded  debt  is  designed  to  pres- 
ent the  total  outstanding  amount  of  bonds  which  have  been 
issued  to  finance  undertakings  that  are  largeh'  or  in  part  self 
carrying.  The  total  amounts  of  water  bonds,  rapid  transit 
bonds,  docks  and  ferries  bonds  and  assessment  bonds  payable 
from  assessments  make  a  combined  total  of  $622,463,364.19,  of 
which  the  city's  sinking  funds  hold  $90,782,254.03  and  the  public 
bonds   $531,681,112.16. 

"Of  the  total  amount  of  water  bonds  outstanding  there  are 
from  $95,0000,000  to  $100,000,000  which  are  self  carrying.  The 
water  revenues  actually  realized  each  year  are  probably  suffi- 
cient to  meet  all  administration,  operation  and  maintenance 
charges  of  the  Water  Department  per  se,  and  to  provide  an- 
nual interest  payment  on  and  set  aside  a  sum  sufficient  to 
amortize  and  ultimately  redeem  the  principal  of  from  $95,000,- 
000  to  $100,000,000  of   these   bonds. 

"The  remainder  of  the  water  bonds  outstanding  represents 
to  a  great  extent  the  amount  which  has  been  expended  for  the 
Catskill  aqueduct  still  in  course  of  construction.  It  may  be 
here  stated  that  all  of  the  water  bonds  and  notes  issued  for 
debt  incurred  for  water  supply  since  January  1,  1904,  are  ex- 
empted from  the  debt  limit." 


Leases  Made  Since  October  1,  1920,  Not  Subject  to  Rent  Laws 


(Continued  from  page  519) 

facilities,  as  to  make  an  unusually  large  return  on  the  investment,  capital 
would  be  attracted,  building  of  dwellings,  apartments  and  tenements 
■would  be  stimulated,  and  the  level  of  rents  would  be  lowered  to  that  of 
the  reasonable  return  on  the  investment.  We  can  not  assume  that  it 
was  the  intention  of  the  Legislature  to  brush  aside  all  the  constitutional 
safe-guards  of  private  ownership  of  real  estate,  and  also  to  abrogate  the 
great  economic  law  of  supply  and  demand.  The  natural  process  of  this 
economic  principle  was  left  free  scope  in  so  far  as  these  who.  without 
restraint,  could  make  their  bargains  in  the  open  market,  which  in  time 
would  bring  rentals  to  a  reasonable  figure.  This  legislation  can  only 
be  justified  on  the  theory  of  emergency  with  reference  to  those  tenants 
who  were   in   possession   at  the  time  the  law   was  enacted. 

if  a  dwelling  or  an  apartment  is  offered  for  rental  to  a  private  family 
for  residential  purposes  (and  it  is  only  to  such  that  laws  under  consid- 
eration apply ) .  it  is  not  thereby  devoted  to  the  public  use  of  affected 
with  a  public  use,  so  as  to  bring  it  within  the  rate  regulating  power  of 
the  Legislature.  Such  property  is  within  the  protection  of  the  constitu- 
tion. It  is  true  that,  in  times  of  calamity  or  overruling  necessity,  tem- 
porary interference  with  the  control,  or  an  actual  appropriation,  of  such 
property  may  he  necessary  and  justified  by  the  emergency.  Such  inter- 
ference, however,  must  be  limited  to  that  which  is  necessary  to  the 
occasion.  When  a  subject  matter  is  within  the  police  power  of  the  state, 
its  regulation  is  within  the  power  of  the  Legislature  ;  hut  whether  the 
«^ubject  matter  is  within  the  police  power,  is  a  judicial  question  to  be 
determined  by   the  courts.      (Matter  of  .Jacobs,   i}H   X.   Y.  98.   111).      In   my 


opinion,  this  legislation  was  limited  to  the  immediate  emergency,  and 
should  not  be  extended  beyond  those  limits. 

In  the  case  under  consideration  the  tenant  voluntarily  signed  the  lease 
and  agreed  to  pay  the  rent  reserved,  and  paid  it  without  question  for 
eight  months.  Now,  on  the  theory  of  duress,  he  seeks  to  escape  from 
his  contract  and  have  a  jury  make  a  contract  for  him  that  will  be  bind- 
ing on  the  landlord.  In  what  did  the  alleged  duress  consist?  In  this, 
that  he  could  not  obtain  similar  accommodation  in  the  locality  that  he 
desired  at  a  less  rental,  and  perforce  must  pay  the  rent  the  landlord  de- 
manded. 

If  such  an  argument  can  he  accepted,  why  should  not  the  man  who 
bought  a  suit  of  clothes  from  his  tailor  for  fpioO,  which  he  could  have 
obtained  in  pre-war  days  for  $75,  be  allowed  to  refuse  to  pay.  on  the 
ground  that  the  price  was  unreasonable,  and  ask  that  a  jury  determine 
what  the  tailor  is  entitled  to  receive  and  at  what  rate  he  shall  continue 
to  furnish  him  clothes? 

In  my  opinion  the  defendant  is  not  within  the  purview  of  the  statute, 
and  the  defense  is  insufficient  in  law. 

The  order  will  therefore  be  reversed  with  $10  costs  and  dis- 
biirsements,  plaintiff's  motion  for  judgment  on  the  pleadings 
granted  with  $10  costs.

Little  Moving  Except  to  the  Suburbs  on  May  1  This  Year 

Not  So  Many  Changes  of  Tenancy  as  Usual  in  Manhattan,  Bronx  and  Brooklyn, 
But  There  is  fhiite  an  Exodus  to  Queens,  Suffolk  and  New  Jersey 


WITH  May  1  imminent,  one  of  the  times  when  the 
moving  of  families  is  heavier  than  during  any  other 
portion  of  the  year,  an  anomaly  presents  itself  in  the 
fact  that  there  will  be  very  little  moving  from  one  abode  to 
another  within  the  city.  The  situation  is  about  the  same  in  all 
the  boroughs.  If  there  is  more  moving  in  one  spot  in  Man- 
hattan than  in  another,  little  though  it  be  comparatively,  the 
destination  is  to  Queens,  where  hundreds  of  new  apartment 
houses  and  one  and  two-family  houses  have  been  in  course  of 
construction  during  the  winter  for  spring  occupancy.  The 
new  living  spaces  in  Queens  are  not  being  filled  entirely  from 
Manhattan,  but  from   Brooklyn,  too. 

The  lack  of  general  moving  this  spring  in  Manhattan  and  the 
Bronx  is  caused  primarily  by  the  fact  that  there  was  a  heavy 
leasing  of  apartments  last  October,  when  northern  Manhattan 
and  the  Bronx  had  many  new  apartments  ready  for  use  and 
many  old  tenants  were  forced  from  their  apartments  to  new 
ones  by  raises  in  rents  on  new  leases  and  by  new  tenants 
making  leases  over  the  heads  of  old  tenants. 

Of  the  thousands  of  apartment  house  tenants  who  a  year  or 
more  ago  placed  their  household  effects  in  storage  and  went 
boarding  as  a  result  of  unprecedented  high  rentals  then  pre- 
vailing, few  have  again  leased  apartments.  Consequently  the 
storage   warehouses   are    full   to   capacity. 

The  only  noticeable  spring  movement  is  to  the  suburbs  with- 
in easy  commuting  distance  of  Manhattan.  Thousands  of  new 
one  and  two-family  houses  have  been  built  in  the  five  subur- 
ban counties  of  New  Jersey,  in  Westchester  and  Rockland 
counties  and  in  Nassau  and  Suffolk  counties.  New  houses  are 
rented  or  sold  as  fast  as  they  are  built.  During  the  last  year 
four    hundred    new    houses    were    built    in    Lynbrook,    Nassau 


county,  and  they  are  all  either  sold  or  rented.  Montauk  High- 
way and  other  leading  thoroughfares  through  Long  Island  just 
now  abound  in  moving  vans  carrying  furniture  eastward. 
Throughout  the  entire  suburban  area  around  New  York  cot- 
tages and  bungalows  are  being  leased  by  the  year  empty  for 
figures  that  formerly  obtained  for  furnished  houses  of  the 
same  types.  Many  of  the  suburban  warehousemen  still  have 
their  buildings  stored  full  of  furniture  belonging  to  persons  in 
their  neighborhoods  whose  leases  had  expired  last  autumn  and 
who  were   luiable   to  obtain  new  places   of  residence. 

The  shortage  of  apartments  and  high  rentals  in  Manhattan, 
Brooklyn  and  the  Bronx  that  prevailed  last  year  reacted  upon 
the  suburbs  to  the  extent  that  thousands  of  city  residents  went 
beyond  the  limits  in  hope  of  relief  with  the  result  that  they  have 
confounded  the  suburban  situation.  On  every  hand,  in  the 
suburbs,  houses  are  in  course  of  construction  and  in  face  of  the 
fact  that   building  material  prices  have  not  receded  largely. 

The  situation  as  to  the  higher  class  of  apartments  in  Man- 
hattan is  about  the  same  as  it  was  last  October.  There  is  a 
small  percentage  of  vacancies.  A  few  persons  who  spend  their 
summers  in  the  country  are  now  looking  around  for  apartments 
to  lease  from  October  1  next.  Many  of  this  class,  however, 
are  living  the  year  through  in  their  country  homes,  if  within 
easy  reach  of  the  city.  Especially  is  this  true  of  families  with 
children.  The  finer  apartment  house  districts  have  lost  thous- 
ands of   these   families  permanently. 

There  is  a  continuance  of  the  situation  of  last  year  of  tenants 
who  formerly  occupied  costly  apartments  leasing  apartments  of 
the  next  lower  grade  in  order  to  be  within  their  rental  means. 
Many  of  them  of  last  year  will  continue  in  the  lower  grade  on 
longer  term  leases. 


Notable  Alteration  of  Building  in  Old  Downtown  District 


N' 


OTABLE  among  the  recent  building  projects  in  the 
downtown  business  district,  in  which  antiquated  struc- 
tures have  been  remodeled  and  modernized  for  business 
purposes,  is  the  reimprovement  of  the  site  at  52  to  54  Vesey 
street,  between  Church  and  Greenwich  streets,  owned  and  oc- 
cupied by  the  A.  B.  See  Electric  Elevator  Company.  The  al- 
tered structure  is  an  excellent  example  of  what  is  possible  in 
the  line  of  turning  an  old-fashioned  building  into  a  good-look- 
ing and  commodious  ofiice  structure. 

The  original  buildings  on  the  site  of  the  A.  B.  See  Company'^ 
offices  were  typical  of  the  older  downtown  business  districts. 
The  three  upper  stories  of  54  Vesey  street  had  been  destroyed 
by  fire  some  time  previous  to  the  acquisition  of  the  property  by 
the  new   owners. 

In  preparing  the  plans  for  the  alterations,  Francis  Y.  Joannes, 
the  architect  retained  by  the  owners,  found  that  the  absence 
of  the  upper  stories  of  the  destroyed  building  were  a  decided 
advantage,  and  the  increased  day-lighting  of  the  upper  stories 
of  the  adjacent  building  made  it  possible  to  attract  an  entirely 
different  class  of  tenants  for  these  floors  at  a  higher  rental 
than  otherwise  would  have   been   obtainable. 

The  entire  front  of  both  buildings  has  been  removed  and 
rebuilt  with  Indiana  limestone,  with  counter-weighted  steel  sash 
in  the  lower  two  stories  and  a  motor  truck  entrance  in  the 
westerly  opening  at  grade.  The  westerly  wall  of  52  Vesey 
street,  above  the  roof  of  the  adjoining  building,  has  been  pierced 
with  seven  windows  on  each  floor,  and  the  outside  wall  is  fin- 
ished in  stucco  to  match  the  limestone  front. 

The  A..  B.  See  Electric  Elevator  Company  occupies  the  entire 
basement,  first  and  second  floors,  and  leases  the  three  upper 
stories  for  office  purposes.  The  upper  floor  of  the  westerly 
building  is  lighted  by  skylights.  The  elevator  service  is  pro- 
vided by  a  modern  push  button  control  elevator  without  an 
operator,   made    and    installed    by    the    owners.      This    type    of

elevator  is  a  decided  advance  in  design  and  offers  possibilities 
in  the  development  of  similar  properties  where  elevator  ser- 
vice is  desirable  but  impossible  where  attendance  is  necessary.

Mr.  Dowling  Warns  Against  Rash  Regulation  of  Realty 

Unwarranted  Interference  with  Property  Rights  Will  Destroy  Initiative  Which 
Built  Up  New  York,  He  Says,  at  Y.  M.  C.  A.  Realty  Class  Dinner 


THE  banquet  of  the  Real  Estate  Training  Class  of  the 
West  Side  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  which  marked  the  close  of  the 
lecture  course  on  real  estate  for  this  year,  took  place  in 
the  ballroom  of  the  Park  Avenue  Hotel  on  Tuesday  evening. 
Present  were  nearly  all  of  the  prominent  realtors  who  deliv- 
ered lectures  to  the  class  during  the  winter.  They  were  the 
guests  of  the  class  and  sat  at  the  table  of  honor  with  Judge 
Thomas  C.  T.  Grain,  Lawson  Purdy,  William  C.  Demarest,  Rev. 
Samuel  W.  Grafflin  and  Thomas  Daggett,  Secretary  of  the 
Transit  Commission.  W.  H.  Wyckoff,  who  has  assembled  the 
class    each    week,   presided. 

Judge  Grain  was  the  orator  of  the  evening  and  he  discussed 
at  length  the  mission  of  the  Y.  M.  G.  A.  and  the  cause  and  solu- 
tion of  the  existing  crime  wave  in  New  York.  He  urged  the 
inculcation  of  a  higher  sense  of  moral  responsibility  among  the 
young,  and  pointed  out  that  most  of  the  crimes  now  perpe- 
trated are  by  youths  and  young  men.  He  said  that  law  could 
protect  society  against  criminals  by  depriving  them  of  their 
liberty  but  that  it  could  not  stop  the  growth  of  more  of  them. 
That   rested   with   the   moral   sense   of   the   community. 

William  C.  Demarest,  who  was  Honorary  Chairman  of  the 
winter  lecture  course,  expressed  the  thanks  of  the  class  to  the 
lecturers  and  said  the  occasion  was  an  anomaly  in  that  never 
before  within  his  recollection  had  a  class  in  any  branch  of 
learning  held  a  banquet  and  made  the  faculty  the  guests  of 
honor.  He  assured  the  class  that  the  faculty  was  grateful,  and 
his  remarks  caused  much  amusement. 

Lawson  Purdy  declared  that  as  real  estate  is  now  considered 
a  profession  by  many  it  had  become  necessary  for  the  class 
to  take  into   account  its   full  responsibility. 

"Part  of  the  duty  of  you  realtors,"  said  Mr.  Purdy,  "is  to 
know  the  laws  pertaining  to  real  estate,  not  alone  for  your  own 
sakes  but  for  the  welfare  and  interest  of  your  clients.  In 
some  states  of  the  Union  property-owners  have  to  appraise  and 
value  their  own  property.  It  makes  a  complex  problem  because 
the  average  man,  even  though  he  may  own  considerable  real 
estate,  knows  little  of  the  actual  value;  of  it.  He  may  have  a 
general  idea  of  value  but  he  knows  little  if  any  thing  about 
the  causes  of  appreciation  or  depreciation  of  values  in  divers 
parts  of  the  city.  Hence  it  is  futile  for  an  ordinary  layman  to 
decide  what  property  values  are.  The  wise  property-ownei' 
leaves  it  to  experts  to  determine  real  value.  As  real  estate 
men  you  will  become  more  or  less  expert  and  it  is  for  you  to 
know  all  the  laws  bearing  on  real  property.  They  are  a  vital 
adjunct   to   your   business." 

Robert  E.  Dowling,  in  the  course  of  his  remarks,  said: 
"Those  in  the  real  estate  business  expect  to  make  a  living  of 
it.  That  is  the  practical  view.  That  is  what  will  inspire  you 
to  remain  in  it.  I  want  to  impress  upon  you  the  fact  that  the 
practical  side  of  the  business  can  properly  accompany  the 
utilitarian  side  of  it.  The  best  brokers  in  this  town,  the  men 
who  have  made  its  real  estate  a  great  asset  and  conserved  its 
utility,  are  very  simple  men.  They  are  honest  men  in  spite  of 
all  that  may  be  said  to  the  contrary.    They  love  their  business 


the  same  as  the  lawyer,  the  doctor  or  even  the  clergyman 
loves  his  business.  All  the  slick  and  smart  persons  that  I  have 
met  in  the  real  estate  business  have  not  remained  in  it.  They 
played  their  little  part  upon  the  stage  and  the  public  has  dis- 
posed of  them.  They  are  not  and  they  never  have  been  the 
big  men   of  the   real  estate   market  of   this  city. 

"Read  the  history  of  New  York  thoroughly.  Go  back  into  its 
earlier  eras  and  learn  why  this  town  has  grown  as  it  has  and 
why  it  must  continue  to  grow.  The  real  estate  business  here, 
if  properly  understood,  is  the  finest  blend  of  romance  and 
reality  that  one  can  enjoy.  In  1790  Albany  and  Duchess  coun- 
ties had  bigger  populations  than  New  York  county.  Think  of 
it!  What  made  this  imperial  municipality?  A  knowledge  of 
the    city's    history    is   absolutely   essential    to   your    progress. 

"I  have  always  been  opposed  to  excessive  regulation  of  real  estate  by 
law.  We  have  had  regulation  of  some  kind  or  other  from  the  earliest 
times.  I  would  call  much  of  it  unnecessary  interference  with  property 
rights.  In  New  Amsterdam  there  was  a  law  that  inflicted  a  fine  on  every 
man  who  did  not  improve  his  vacant  land.  That  was  the  beginning  of 
regulation.  Since  then  we  have  had  other  laws  just  as  onerous  in  other 
ways.  I  want  to  impress  upon  you  young  real  estate  men,  you  who  will 
carry  on  the  great  business  of  leasing  and  selling  property  here,  that 
legislation  by  clamor  and  the  interpretation  of  it  by  courts  that  fear 
the  public  are  not  the  things  that  will  help  the  growth  of  this  city 
along  the  right  lines.  Real  estate  stability  cannot  rest  on  such  con- 
ditions. The  courts  should  restrain  the  people  against  their  own  ex- 
cesses. They  do  quite  often,  but  not  always,  and  much  radical  legislation 
against  real  estate  shows  the  need  of  restraint.  If  every  rash  notion 
against  the  rights  of  property  prevails,  and  there  is  a  tendency  in  that 
direction;  it  will  be  possible  to  kill  the  desire  and  incentive  to  do  any- 
thing big  and  constructive  in  property  matters  in  this  city  and  state.  I 
feel  that   I   have  not  overstated  the  matter. 

"Within  a  generation  or  less  we  have  witnessed  events  that  show 
which  way  the  wind  is  blowing.  Time  was  when  large  estates  and  rich 
men  built  rows  of  private  dwellings  and  apartment  houses  in  New  York. 
Their  surplus  funds  went  into  such  substantial  investments  and  the 
people  at  large  were  the  beneficiaries.  It  is  no  longer  tbe  case.  Specu- 
lative builders  of  all  kinds  now  do  the  vast  bulk  of  construction  here. 
Property-owners  of  standing  and  of  great  substance  have  been  punished 
severely  for  doing  the  very  things  that  have  helped  New  York.  There 
is  no  longer  an  incentive  for  constructive  work  among  the  element  who 
did  it  and  who  thereby  aided  our  civilization  and  our  social  progress.  A 
serious  condition  confronts  us  because  too  many  extraneous  tlieories  have 
been  allowed  to  play  upon  the  passions  and  prejudices  of  law-making 
bodies  and  upon  the  minds  of  the  public.  I  have  acted  ofHcially  with 
law-making  bodies.  I  have  witnessed  all  of  the  inside  workings,  and  I 
know  whereof  I  speak.  There  are  sincere  and  honest  theorists  about 
property  rights  and  I  respect  their  good  qualities,  however  much  I  believe 
in  the  dangerous  results  of  their  theories.  There  is  a  dead  line  where 
attacks  on  property  and  property  rights  must  cease." 

Dr.  Grafflin  told  the  class  that  there  were  seven  principles 
they  could  well  carry  with  them  into  the  activities  of  their 
business:  Courage  to  pioneer;  the  will  to  investigate;  the  ca- 
pacity for  new  truth;  tolerance  of  the  radical  young  man,  and 
conservatism  in  yourselves;  a  high  sense  of  responsibility;  a 
set   of   strong   convictions ;    and   sacrificial   persistence. 

The  evening  closed  with  an  illustrated  talk  on  "Old  New 
York,"  by  Harry  Hall,  of  the  firm  of  William  A.  White  &  Sons. 
Secretary  Daggett,  of  the  Transit  Commission,  spoke  on  the 
readjustment  of  the  subway  systems  and  his  address  was  along 
the  same  lines  as  that  recently  delivered  by  Gen.  John  F. 
O'Ryan  at  a  monthly  dinner  of  the  Real  Estate  Board  of  New 
York. 

Among  tlie  well-known  real  estate  men  present  were  Robert 
E.  Simon,  William  L.  De  Bost,  James  Nash  Webb,  many  of  the 
office  force  of  William  A.  White  &  Sons,  George  L.  Allin,  A. 
C.  McNulty,  and  several  of  the  active  force  of  Pease  & 
Elliman. 


New  York  Society  of  Architects  Holds  Monthly  Meeting 


THE  regular  monthly  meeting  of  the  New  York  Society  of 
Architects,  held  at  the  Engineering  Societies  Building,  29 
West  Thirty-ninth  street,  Tuesday  evening,  April  18,  was 
well  attended  and  several  important  matters  were  discussed 
and  acted  upon.  President  James  Riely  Gordon  occupied  the 
chair  and  after  the  minutes  and  other  routine  business  was 
disposed  of  Secretary  Johnson  read  a  letter  from  Harold  S. 
Graves,  of  Boston,  in  reference  to  the  competitive  designs  for 
small  dwellings.  This  is  an  altogether  altruistic  competition, 
promoted  in  the  interest  of  young  people  who  are  desirous 
of   having  their   own   homes   and,  according  to   the   opinion   of 


the  New   York  Society  of  Architects,  well  worthy  of  support. 

Complete  satisfaction  was  expressed  at  this  meeting  upon 
the  recent  judgment  of  Justice  Giegerich,  which  gives  the 
architects  the  right  of  placing  a  lien  against  a  property,  whether 
he   superintends   its   construction   or   not. 

The  following  architects  were  elected  to  membership  in  the 
Society :  Edwin  H.  Denby,  Aymar  Embury,  2d,  Richard  H.  Hunt, 
Maurice  Deutsch,  Thomas  F.  Price  and  Matthew  Del  Gaudio. 

The  next  meeting  scheduled  will  be  the  annual  convention  of 
the  Society.  This  event  will  be  held  at  the  Hotel  Astor  and 
will  be  preceded  by  a  banauet  and  an  interesting  program.

Review  of  Real  Estate  Market  for  the   Current  Week 

Fifth  Avenue  Contributed  a  Choice  Corner  Plot,  While  Madison  and  Lexington 
Avenues  and  Neighborhoods  Witnessed  Strong  Selling  and  Leasing 


THIS  was  a  week  contributing  sales  of  real  estate  of  more 
than  ordinary  interest.  Looming  prominently  was  the 
sale  of  a  large  vacant  upper  Fifth  Avenue  corner  by  the 
Lloyd  S.  Bryce  estate  to  a  firm  of  prominent  builders  for  im- 
provement with  a  high  class  apartment  house.  It  indicates 
that  in  spite  of  the  law  that  regulates  the  height  of  apartment 
buildings  in  the  fine  residential  part  of  the  avenue  that  it  has 
not  discouraged  builders.  The  site  in  discussion  is  100.11x200 
and  it  will  enable  the  buyers  to  put  up  a  building  of  medium 
height  and  yet  contain  numerous  apartments.  The  plot  was  held 
at  $460,000.  Numerous  first  class  dwellings  in  the  Fifth  and 
Madison  Avenue  neighborhoods  changed  hands.  On  the  west 
side  of  Central  Par  c  a  fine  dwelling  on  72d  Street  was  bought 
for  the  purpose  of  remodeling  it  into  a  business  building.  This 
emphasizes  the  trend  in  that  wide  thoroughfare.  It  would  not 
be  surprising  if  more  sales  of  this  kind  were  reported  there  in 
the  near  future. 

Lexington  and  Madison  Avenues  both  were  strong  factors  in 
the  dealing  of  the  w-eel<.  Corner  properties  there  are  proving 
attractive  for  remodeling  or  for  reimprovement  for  business 
and  apartment  purposes.  H.  H.  Rogers  leased  the  southwest 
corner  of  Madison  Avenue  and  S7th  Street  for  a  long  term  of 
years  to  a  lessee  who  will  remodel  the  two  old  dwellings  on  the 


site.  The  aggregate  rental  is  more  than  $1,000,000.  In  lower 
Madison  .\venue,  at  38th  Street,  the  site  of  the  Old  South 
Church  again  changed  hands  and  it  is  understood  that  a  fine 
apartment  house  will  be  built  on  the  site,  it  having  been  held 
that  a  multifamily  house  does  not  violate  the  meaning  of  the 
Murray  Hill  restriction.  August  Heckscher  owned  this  cor- 
ner some  months  ago,  but  he  took  a  profit  on  it  and  another 
one  was  ta'  en  on  the   resale. 

The  West  Side  Branch  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  was  revealed  as  the 
buyer  of  two  large  plots  on  West  S7th  Street,  near  its  head- 
quarters there,  the  parcels  taken  being  the  site  of  old  Zion 
and  St.  Timothy  Church  and  some  apartment  houses  abutting 
on  56th  Street.  The  combined  sites  will  be  improved  with  a 
home   for   working  boys. 

Several  tenants  of  buildings  throughout  the  city  bought  the 
parcels  they  occupy.  A  notable  instance  was  that  of  a  Grand 
Street  merchant  who  bought  a  loft  building  he  had  leased  for 
35  years.  Only  a  few  wee^s  ago  a  long  time  tenant  on  the  Icwer 
West  Side  did  the  same. 

In  the  Bronx  the  dealing  was  varied  and  strong  and  there 
was  a  sudden  revival  of  vacant  land  buying  that  in  volume  ap- 
proached the  dealing  in  plots  that  prevailed  there  in  mid- 
winter. Many  apartment  houses  in  the  northerly  borough  also 
changed  hands. 


PRIVATE  REALTY  SALES.

Mystic  Shriners  Enlarge  Plot 

An  addition  to  the  site  for  the  ,$2,000.0u0 
mosque  for  the  Mystic  Shriners,  Mecca  Temple, 
has  been  made  through  the  purchase  of  the  3- 
sty  brick  stable,  on  a  plot  50xl0l>.5,  at  133-135 
West  5.">th  st,  from  George  C.  Mason  for  .$140  000. 
Last  December  the  Shriners  bought  the  adjoining 
eight  lot  site  of  the  Famous  Players  Studio  on 
55th  st,  extending  through  the  block  to  124-130 
West  56th  St.  That  purchase  was  made  through 
Robert  Levers  from  Yale  University,  to  whom  the 
property  was  donated  by  William  Smith  Mason. 
The  Famous  Players  have  a  two-year  lease  of 
the  premises.  WHh  the  latest  acquisition  the 
Shriners  now  control  a  site  fronting  151  feet  on 
.">5th  st  and  100  feet  on  56th  st.  The  sale  is 
recorded. 


Big  Mortgage  Assigned. 

Charles  F.  Noyes  Co.  sold  to  H.  M.  Sussweln 
the  .$4.j0.ooO  mortgage  on  the  former  Market  & 
Fulton  Bank  (now  merged  with  Irving  National 
Bank)  11-sty  building  Hl-fP.  Fulton  st,  and  run- 
ning along  Gold  st  from  Fulton  to  Ann  st.  Mr, 
Sussweln  is  president  of  the  Fulton-Gold  Cor- 
poration, owners  of  the  property.  Breed,  Abbott 
&  Morgan  were  the  attorneys  representing  the 
Irving  National  Bank  in  the  transfer  of  the 
mortgage,  and  Cass  &  Aptel  represented  Mr. 
Susswein's  interests. 

Gas  Cut-off   Ordinance  Vetoed. 

After  a  hearing  to  give  opportunity  for  ar- 
guments in  favor  of  and  again.^it  the  Installa- 
tion of  gas  cut-offs  in  buildings  throughout  the 
city,  with  the  exception  of  one  and  two-family 
dwellings,  Mayor  Hylan  formally  vetoed  the  ordi- 
nance which  was  passed  by  the  Board  of  Alder- 
men. Mnny  landlords  were  present  at  tha  hear- 
in-,-  and  vigorously  attacked  the  arguments  ad- 
vanced by  Fire  Chief  John  Kenlon  and  others, 
who  favored  the  measure. 

Disorder  began  when  Chief  Kenlon  Intimated 
that  landlords  were  makiiig  enough  through  high 
rents  to  assume  the   cost  themselves. 

Mr.   Kenlon    said  leaking   gas  was  one  of  the 


greatest  menaces  with  which  firemen  had  to 
contend. 

"Ihis  is  a  question  of  lives  not  of  dollars," 
he  shouted.  Chief  Kenlon  paid  a  tribute  to  the 
work  of  the  liremen  and  told  of  their  dangers. 
He  said  it  had  been  estimated  that  the  install- 
ing or  the  device  would  cost  $40,000,000,  whereas, 
he  said,  it  wouldn't  cost  half  that. 

"Anyway,"  he  said,  "the  property  owners  will 
get  their  money  back  in  reduced  insurance  rates 
in   five  or  six  years." 

When  the  hearing  was  over  the  Mayor  said 
that,  while  he  thought  the  principle  involved 
was  a  good  one  and  that  it  would  save  the  lives 
of  firemen  and  occupants  of  buildings,  he  thought 
the  cost  of  installing  the  cut-offs  should  tall

Y.  M.  C.  A.   Buys   on   57th   Street 

Presumably  as  a  site  for  its  Boys'  Memorial 
Building  the  West  Side  Branch  of  the  Y.  M.  C. 
A.  is  purchasing  the  site  of  the  old  Zion  and 
St.  Timothy's  Church  and  rectory  at  332-334 
West  57th  St.  The  buildings  were  destroyed  by 
fire  last  January.  It  is  said  that  the  Y.  M.  C.  A. 
officials  and  trustees  of  the  church  have  agreed 
upon  the  sale  and  it  is  understood  that  the  pur- 
chase price  is  close  to  .$350,0()0,  the  valuation 
which  the  church  has  placed  on  the  property. 

The  site  fronts  75  feet  on  57th  st  and  extends 
through  the  block  2011  feet  to  56th  st.  where  it 
fronts  1(111  feet.  On  57th  st  it  is  separated  from 
the  West  Side  Branch  building  by  125  feet, 
which  is  occupied  by  the  Princeton  Apartments, 
and  on  .56th  st  the  40-foot  Palisade  Apartments 
separate  the  properties. 

The  plan  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  to  build  a  home 
for  working  boys  under  18  years  of  age  calls 
for  an  expenditure  of  about  .$500  000.  The  build- 
ing is  to  be  8  stories  with  facilities  for  be- 
tween 1,500  and  2,fHi()  members  and  dormitories 
for  1!I5.  Many  prominent  New  Yorkers  are  ni- 
terested  in  the  plan.  John  D.  Rockefeller,  Mrj. 
Willard  D.  Straight.  Philip  Le  Boutillier, '  J.  B. 
Mabon  and  Gilbert  College  were  among  the 
donors.

vacant  plot  118.0x125,  that  was  the  site  of  the 
Old  South  Church.  It  was  held  at  $5(10,000.  It 
is  understood  that  the  corner  will  be  reimproved 
with   a   large   apartment   house. 

Conjectures  as  to  the  nature  of  the  building 
project  to  follow  the  deal  are  based  upon  the 
fact  that  William  H.  Silk  is  identified  with  the 
purchasers.  Mr.  Silk  has  been  associated  with 
J.  S.  Cushman  in  the  construction  of  a  group 
of  Allerton  apartment  houses  for  bachelors  in 
the   residential    districts   of   the    East   Side. 

Mr.  Jones  bought  the  plot  from  August  Heck- 
scher a  year  ago.  Mr.  Silk  says  that  no  definite 
plans  had  been  devised  for  the  old  church  corner, 
but  there  is  little  doubt  that  improvement  will 
be  more  than  a  single  family  dwelling.  The 
plot  fronts  08.9  feet  on  the  avenue  and  125  feet 
on  the  street.  Charles  E.  Van  Valen,  Inc.,  were 
the   brokers   in    the   resale.

lUR  experts  will  give  prompt  attention  to  those  who  are  con- 
sidering the  use  of  Gas  either  for  Heating  Water  or  the 
Heating  of  a  House,  Apartment,  Loft  or  Large  Building. 

Architects  and  Builders,  with  advantage  to  themselves  and  their

buildings.  One  of  the  latter  requires  nearly  40,000  gallons  of  hot 
water  every  week.  Another  large  building  requires  nearly  6,000 
gallons  a  day,  every  drop  of  which  is  Gas  heated. 

Every  person  interested  in  a  newly  constructed  building,  or  one 
under  construction  or  contemplated,  or  in  a  building  being  or 
about  to  be  remodeled,  should  consider  the  advantages  of  Gas 
Water  Heating.

ranges  for  the  many  houses  in  this  book  which

public  but  of  which   we  do  not  have  charge."

BUILDING     SECTION 


Prompt  Solution  of  Building  Labor  Problems  Hoped  For 

Building    Trades    Employers'    Association    Condemns    "Outlaw"    Strikes    and 
Authorizes  Individual  Organizations  to  Negotiate  Separate  Agreements 


C "CONSIDERABLE  progress  lias  been  made  during  the  past 
.  week  toward  an  early  settlement  of  the  deadlock  prevail- 
ing  between  employers  and  building  trade  unions  over  the 
question  of  an  agreement  for  the  remainder  of  the  current 
year  and  it  is  generally  thought  likely  that  this  situation  will 
be   definitely   cleared    up   within   the    next   week    or   ten   days. 

There  was  a  meeting  this  week  of  the  joint  committee  rep- 
resenting the  employers  and  the  Council.  At  this  meeting  the 
labor  representatives  refused  to  discuss  the  "fourteen  points" 
as  adopted  by  the  Building  Trades  Employers'  Association  un- 
less the  matter  of  wages  was  taken  up  at  the  same  time.  The 
employers  refused  to  proceed  under  this  condition  and  stated 
that  they  have  adopted  as  their  position  an  acceptance  of  the 
"fourteen  points"  before  it  is  possible  to  discuss  the  matter 
of  wages. 

The  Employers'  Association  has  instructed  the  officials  of 
the  various  affiliated  trade  associations  to  negotiate  new  agree- 
ments with  their  respective  unions.  Although  no  announcement 
can  be  made  as  yet  to  the  results  of  these  negotiations  it  is 
stated   that   progress   is    being   made. 

The  Public  Group  Committee  also  is  active  in  its  efforts  to 
bring  harmony  back  to  the  industry.  In  order  that  the  public 
may  be  fully  informed  and  protected  it  is  planned  to  submit 
all  agreements  made  by  the  various  trade  groups  to  the  Public 
Group  Committee  for  approval  before  they  are  signed  and 
become    operative. 

The  Building  Trades  Employers'  Association  recently  issued 
a  statement  in  which  they  complained  of  a  growing  number  of 
"outlaw"  or  "snowball"  strikes  and  the  claim  is  made  that  this 
practice  is  rapidly  gaining  headway  throughout  the  local  build- 
ing field.  These  "outlaw"  strikes  are  spreading,  the  statement 
says,  until  the  payment  of  as  much  as  $12  per  day,  or  $2  above 
the  agreed  wage,  has  not  resulted  in  an  adequate  supply  of 
labor. 

The  bricklayers  and  the  plasterers  are  not  affiliated  with  the 
Building  Trades'  Council,  but  the  condition  in  their  trades  is 
said  to   reflect   what   obtains   among  the   member   unions. 

"The  bricklayers  have  given  the  great  housing  construction 
boom  a  hard  slam,"  says  the  statement  issued  by  the  Employ- 
ers' Association,  "and  the  plasterers  threaten  to  knock  it  out. 
In  the  big  building  year  of  1919  the  mechanics  discovered  that 
the  outlaw  or  'snowballing'  strike  could  be  effectively  used  to 
increase  wages.  Ten  dollars  a  day  is  now  the  agreed  wage 
for  bricklayers  and  plasterers,  and  the  journeymen  have  again 
resorted  to  outlaw  or  'snowballing'  strikes  to  raise  their  wages. 
They  have  deserted  the  jobs  of  a  number  of  the  members  of 
the  Building  Trades  Employers'  Association,  including  the  new 
Bowery  Savings  Bank  building  at  Forty-second  Street  and 
Park  Avenue,  for  which  the  George  A.  Fuller  Company  is  the 
contractor.  They  have  deserted  the  jobs  of  Dwight  P.  Robin- 
son &  Co.,  at  Fifty-eighth  Street  and  Park  Avenue,  and  the  J. 
G.  White  Engineering  Company  project  at  Elmhurst,  L,  I. 
These  two  firms  are  working  under  an  agreement  with  the 
bricklayers'  union  which  has  been  underwritten  or  guaranteed 
by  the  International  Union.  Three  hundred  bricklayers  have 
left  the  work  of  the  members  of  the  Building  Trades  Em- 
ployers' Association  and  that  of  the  other  contractors  named. 

"The  'snowballing'  began  about  a  month  ago  on  the  work  of 
the  speculative  builders  in  the  Bron.\,  and  then  spread  to 
Brooklyn.     It  met  with  success.     It  commenced  with  the  tying- 


up  of  a  job  and  the  ofTer  to  return  to  work  at  $11  per  day 
The  builder  gave  in.  The  strike  then  spread  to  other  jobs  and 
within  our  weeks  practically  all  of  the  speculators  had  been 
whipsawed  and  were  paying  the  $11  rate.  The  campaign  then 
shifted  to  Brooklyn  and  the  ante  was  raised  another  dollar 
and   many  speculators   succumbed. 

"The  ambitious  school  building  program  of  the  city  is  af- 
fected and  the  condition  of  the  school  work  under  construction 
is  exceedingly  bad.  On  new  Public  School  No.  89,  on  Am- 
sterdam Avenue,  188th  to  189th  Street,  where  fifty  bricklayers 
should  now  be  working,  four  are  employed.  On  new  Public 
School  No.  58,  176th  Street  and  Washington  Avenue,  the 
Bronx,  seven  bricklayers  are  working  and  thirty-five  should 
be  employed.  The  new  Brooklyn  schools  under  construction 
are   about   seventy-five  per   cent,  manned." 

Investigation  of  the  labor  situation,  particularly  as  it  applies 
to  bricklayers,  shows  that  the  majority  of  the  active  operations 
in  this  city  are  being  hampered  by  the  scarcity  of  mechanics. 
The  tremendous  program  of  speculative  construction  in  Brook- 
lyn has  been  materially  slowed  down  because  of  the  shortage 
of  men  to  complete  the  work.  Hardly  a  job  has  more  than 
sixty  per  cent,  of  the  workmen  normally  required  and  the  re- 
sult is  that  builders  are  forced  to  compete  with  each  other  for 
the   labor  they  need. 

The  speculative  builders,  the  majority  of  whom  are  not  mem- 
bers of  any  association  with  power  to  regulate  or  curb  fheir 
actions,  are  the  chief  offenders  in  the  payment  of  bonuses  to 
labor  and  they  are  solely  responsible  for  the  conditions  that 
prevail  today.  Their  only  interest  lies  in  getting  their  proj- 
ects completed  in  time  for  the  autumn  renting  season  and  before 
the  major  portion  of  the  housing  now  under  construction  is 
ready  to  be  thrown  on  the  market  for  sale.  These  builders  feel 
that  the  additional  labor  cost  will  be  ofifset  by  higher  rentals 
and  better  prices  in  selling  and.  therefore,  are  willing  to  pay 
now  in  order  to  complete  their  operations.  The  condition  is 
exerting  a  demoralizing  influence  upon  the  legitimate  building 
industry,  however,  and  is  forcing  similar  competition  for  work- 
ers upon  contractors  who  otherwise  would  never  countenance 
such  action. 

These  conditions  are  in  no  wise  peculiar  to  Brooklyn.  Sim- 
ilar competition  for  skilled  workers  prevails  in  Queens  and 
the  Bronx  and  as  a  result  activity  has  slowed  down  on  a  num- 
ber of  operations  and  there  are  many  prospective  builders  who 
declare  they  will  not  proceed  with  their  contemplated  buildings 
as  long  as  they  have  no  assurance  of  what  their  final  labor  costs 
will  be.  Because  of  the  open  winter  a  large  amount  of  apart- 
ment house  construction  was  possible  and  many  of  these  struc- 
tures are  now  well  along  towards  completion.  A  number  of  the 
finishing  trades  have  been  afifected  through  the  growing  scar- 
city of  skilled  mechanics  and  it  is  now  the  rule  to  e.xpect  to 
pay  wages  considerably  above  the  scale  to  plasterers,  painters, 
parquet  floor  layers,  tile  setters,  and  other  workers  whose  ser- 
vices are  in  demand  to  complete  these  buildings.  As  the 
building  season  progresses  there  is  bound  to  be  a  greater  in- 
tensity to  the  demand  for  skilled  workers.  New  projects,  com- 
mercial as  well  as  residential,  are  being  started  every  day,  and 
architects  and  engineers  have  plans  under  way  for  many  .dddi- 
tional  structures,  all  scheduled  for  an  early  start.  Daily  ad- 
vertisements in  the  classified  columns  of  the  newspapers  indi  ■ 
cr'te  tlie  intensity  of  the  demand  for  bricklayers  and  carpenters.

How  "American  Plan"  Is  Working  Out  in  San  Francisco 

Prominent  Coast  Official  Says  Building  Boom  Reflects  Complete  Success  of  Idea 
and  Proves  It  Fair  to  Both  Employes  and  Contractors 

By  H.  B.  ALLEN 

Vice-President,  San  Francisco  Real  Estate  Board  and  Secretary  Industrial  Association  of  San  Francisco 


FOR  seven  months  the  American  Plan  has  been  in  full  effect 
in  the  building  trades  of  San  Francisco.  It  has  worked 
extremely  well.  Under  the  old  order — the  closed  shop 
order,  with  all  its  correlated  and  cost-increasing  rules  and 
regulations — the  building  public  had  lost  confidence  in  San 
Francisco.  That  confidence  now  has  been  fully  restored,  thanks 
to  the  American  Plan,  which,  at  the  same  time,  has  imposed 
no  conditions  of  hardship  upon  the  workers,  and  has  been 
absolutely  fair  to  all  concerned.  Accordingly,  it  is  not  too 
much  to  say  that  in  all  respects  the  American  Plan  has  been 
a  complete  and  unqualified  success.  So  much  of  a  success, 
indeed,  that  San  Francisco  is  now  in  the  midst  of  the  greatest 
building  boom  in  its  history.  Building  permits  for  the  first 
quarter  of  this  year  amounted  to  more  than  eleven  million 
dollars — an  increase  of  seventy  per  cent,  over  the  first  quarter 
of  1921 ;  and  real  estate  transfers  for  the  month  of  March 
aggregated  more  than  fourteen  million  dollars — the  largest 
volume  for  any  similar  period  during  the  last  sixteen  years. 

The  Industrial  Association  of  San  Francisco,  created  last 
year  at  the  time  of  the  building  trades  strike  by  a  group  of  the 
city's  leading  business  men  as  an  organization  to  protect  the 
public's  interest,  has  sponsored  the  American  Plan  and  en- 
forced its  provisions.  It  has  done  so  not  in  the  interest  of 
any  special  group  or  faction,  but  in  the  general  interest  of 
labor,  employers  and  the  public. 

With  the  inauguration  of  the  American  Plan  it  became  neces- 
sary to  determine  upon  some  equitable  means  of  fixing  wages 
to  obtain  after  the  expiration  of  the  then  existing  scale.  This 
task  was  entrusted  to  the  Industrial  Association,  which,  ac- 
cordingly, set  up  an  Impartial  Wage  Board  composed  of  three 
men  whose  high  standing  in  the  community  was  an  earnest  of 
impartiality  and  inspired  the  confidence  of  the  public.  The 
association  carried  out  its  pledge  to  the  community  that  all 
parties  would  have  opportunity  to  present  their  views  and 
claims  before  the  board.  After  several  weeks  of  public  hear- 
ings and  comprehensive  investigation  the  board  announced  its 
award,  to  be  effective  throughout  the  calendar  year  1922.  This 
method  of  wage  fixing  is  probably  the  fairest  that  could  be 
devised  for  any  industry,  and  the  Industrial  Association  today 
is  carrying  out  and  enforcing  the  indisputably  fair  award  of 
the  Impartial  Wage  Board. 

The  new  scale,  which  was  more  an  equalization  than  a  re- 
duction of  wages,  was  accepted  as  fair  by  all  the  crafts  with 
one  exception,  and  for  three  months  has  been  in  effect  without 


complaint.  The  one  exception  was  in  the  case  of  the  elevator 
constructors  who,  despite  the  fact  that  they  were  given  an 
increase  of  fifteen  cents  per  day  over  the  old  wage  scale,  struck 
— demanding  an  increase  of  $1.10  per  day.  As  this  is  written, 
however,  they  have  just  voted  to  return  to  work  under  the 
American  Plan  and  at  the  wage  fixed  by  the  Impartial  Wage 
Board.  Thus  for  more  than  seven  months  the  building  indus- 
try has  proceeded  under  conditions  very  nearly  approximating 
the  ideal,  to  its  own  great  benefit  and  the  general  progress 
of  the  entire  community. 

Within  the  past  two  weeks,  however,  a  small  but  definite 
assault  against  the  American  Plan  has  been  launched  by  three 
of  the  building  trades  unions  :  Bricklayers,  plumbers  and  steam- 
litters.  About  ten  days  ago  the  bricklayers,  without  having 
made  any  complaint  either  to  the  Industrial  Association  or  to 
the  Impartial  Wage  Board,  and  without  having  given  any 
previous  notice  of  their  intentions,  struck  when  the  contrac- 
tors rejected  their  demand  for  a  dollar  a  day  increase  over  the 
.'ixed  scale.  A  few  days  later,  the  plumbers,  as  the  result  of  a 
packed  special  meeting,  walked  out — claiming  that  their  union 
by-laws  prohibited  their  working  with  non-union  men,  althougn 
in  fact  they  had  been  working  with  non-union  men  for  over 
seven  months  without  previous  complaint.  The  following  day 
the  steamfitters  followed  suit,  so  that  as  matters  now  stand 
three  building  trades  crafts  are  on  strike  against  the  Ameri- 
can Plan. 

There  is  excellent  reason  to  believe  that  the  action  of  these 
crafts  is  not  representative  of  the  will  of  anything  like  a 
majority  of  their  individual  members,  but  that  it  really  is  a 
part  of  the  plan  deliberately  arranged  by  certain  union  labor 
leaders  to  test  the  existing  temper  of  the  community  in  order 
to  predetermine  the  possibilities  of  success  of  a  general  strike 
to  secure  a  return  to  those  conditions  which  prevailed  previous 
to  the  establishment  of  the  American  Plan.  In  other  words, 
it  is  the  preliminary  move  in  an  attempt  to  restore  the 
iniquitous  "closed  shop"  in  the  building  industry  of  San 
Francisco. 

I  have  no  hesitancy  in  stating  that  this  attempt  will  fail.  The 
Industrial  Association  has  on  file  thousands  of  applications  of 
competent  men  seeking  work,  and  as  many  of  these  men  (some 
of  whom  are  already  here)  as  are  needed  will  be  put  in  the 
places  of  the  strikers.  The  American  Plan  being  a  splendid 
success — as  the  present  greatest  building  boom  in  the  city's

ROBERT  NEWTON  LYNCH,  vice-president  and  manager 
of  the  San  Francisco  Chamber  of  Commerce,  was  the 
spea'--er  at  the  monthly  luncheon  meeting  of  the  Building 
Trades  Employers'  Association,  held  Wednesday,  April  19. 
His  subject  was  "How  San  Francisco  Made  the  Building  Trades 
Open   Shop." 

Mr.  Lynch  described  how  San  Francisco  recently  passed 
through  a  building  trades  struggle  in  which  the  building  labor 
organizations  were  eliminated  from  consideration  and  the  con- 
trol of  the  industry  assumed  by  the  Community  Industrial 
Association.  Although  he  is  an  advocate  of  the  open  shop 
plan  Mr.  Lynch  declared  that  unionism,  in  control  of  law  abid- 
ing citizens  was  one  of  the  strongest  forces  against  Bolshevism 
and  Radicalism  in  the  United  States  today.  He  stated  that  the 
men  had  a  perfect  right  to  organize  but  that  their  organizaions 
should  not  be  permitted  to  dominate  an  industry  to  the  point  of 
absolute   control. 

"Unions  should  not  take  sole  control  of  an  industry  they  do 


not  own,"  said  Mr.  Lynch,  "and  the  non-union  worker  should 
be  afforded  the  same  opportunity  for  employment  as  the  union 
man." 

Mr.  Lynch  described  at  considerable  length  the  conditions 
in  San  Francisco  which  were  responsible  for  bringing  ;;bout 
the  open  shop  plan.  This  began  about  191S  when  the  unions 
really  ran  the  community,  electing  their  own  Mayor  and  every 
other  official  in  the  city.  He  told  how  a  strike  of  riggers  and 
stevedores  tied  up  the  entire  port. 

As  a  result  a  mass  meeting  of  the  people  was  held  and  $1,000,- 
000  was  subscribed  to  finance  the  fight  against  these  conditions. 
The  Chamber  of  Commerce  was  called  upon  to  handle  the  sit- 
uation. 

The  spea'-er  declared  that  class  power  was  the  greatest  men- 
ace to  the  United  States  today  and  said  that  there  were  three 
specifics  for  peace  between  employers  and  employes  ■-  1,  re- 
spect for  contractual  relations:  2  respect  for  law  and  order; 
3,  open  shop.

Weekly  Construction  Statistics  as  Tabulated  by  F.  W.  Dodge  Company  Show  Local 
Industry  Busy  to  Full  Capacity  on  New  Housing  Work 


STEADY  improvement  in  the  volume  of  active  construction 
is  being  reported  from  all  districts  in  the  New  York 
territory,  and  there  is  now  every  indication  that  the  com- 
ing months  will  break  all  previous  records  for  the  number  and 
value  of  new  building  projects  projected  and  started.  Figures 
tabulated  by  the  F.  W.  Dodge  Company,  covering  all  of  New 
York  State  and  New  Jersey,  north  of  Trenton,  show  that  dur- 
ing the  sixteenth  week  of  this  year  690  new  construction 
projects,  valued  at  a  total  of  $28,058,600,  were  announced.  Dur- 
ing the  same  week  the  awards  for  new  operations  numbered 
492,  and  this  work  involves  an  outlay  of  approximately 
$22,099,500. 

Building  figures  for  Greater  New  York  reflect  the  general 
improvement  noticeable  throughout  the  eastern  territory.  Dur- 
ing the  week  of  April  IS  to  21,  inclusive,  architects  and  en- 
.gineers  announced  the  following  projects  for  locations  in  New 
York  City,  and  predicted  an  early  start  on  the  major  portion 
of  this  work.  The  new  operations  reported  include  36  busi- 
:!ess  projects  such  as  stores,  offices,  lofts,  commercial  garages, 
etc.,  $831,500;  4  schools  and  allied  projects,  $160,000;  2  hospitals, 
$114,000;   5   industrial    buildings,   $124,000;    7   public    works    and 


public  utilities,  $1,214,600;  2  religious  and  memorial  projects, 
$75,000;  89  residential  operations,  including  apartments,  flats 
and  tenements  and  one-  and  two-family  dwellings,  $8,889,500, 
and  6  social  and  recreational  projects,  $147,000. 

The  new  construction  placed  under  contract  in  Greater  New 
York  during  the  week  of  April  IS  to  21,  inclusive,  involved  25 
business  and  commercial  projects  of  various  types,  $918,000; 
7  educational  buildings,  $2,590,000;  1  hospital,  $5,000;  4  factories, 
$65,000;  1  military  project,  $3,500;  2  public  works  and  public 
utilities,  $1,205,000;  2  religious  and  memorial  projects,  $10,500; 
109  residential  operations,  including  multi-family  dwellings  and 
one-  and  two-family  houses,  $8,519,000,  and  4  social  and  recrea- 
tional buildings,  $71,000. 

During  the  past  few  weeks  there  has  been  a  steady  gain  in 
the  amount  of  residential  construction  undertaken  in  this  city, 
and  there  are  numerous  predictions  that  before  the  end  of  the 
summer  season  there  will  be  a  surplus  of  rentable  space.  This 
applies  largely  to  high-class  apartments  and  multi-family 
dwellings  for  families  of  moderate  incomes.  There  is  no  end 
in  sight,  however,  to  the  scarcity  of  living  accommodations 
that  will  rent  for  less  than  $12  per  room  per  month.

**Ov*-n-Your-Honie"    Exposition 

The  fourth  annual  "Own-Your-Home"' 
Exposition  opened  in  the  Sixty-ninth 
Regiment  Armory,  Lexington  avenue  and 
Twenty-fifth  street,  Saturday  afternoon, 
April  22,  and  continued  throughout  the 
week.  The  attendance  has  been  excellent 
and  there  is  a  steadily  growing  interest 
in  home  construction  and  ownership  as 
evidenced  by  the  keen  desire  of  those 
going  to  the  show  to  learn  as  much  as 
possible  about  up-to-date  methods  of 
building  and  modern  furnishings  and 
equipment. 

A  feature  of  the  opening  ceremonies  of 
this  exposition  was  the  receipt  by  radio 
of  an  indorsement  of  the  purpose  of  the 
enterprise  by  President  Harding.  This 
message  was  received  in  the  radio  depart- 
ment of  the  exhibition  and  by  the  use  of 
a  large  amplifier  was  plainly  heard  by  all 
present.  The  President's  message  was  as 
follows: 

"Believing  that  nothing  can  do  more 
toward  the  development  of  the  highest 
attriljutes  of  good  citizenship  than  the 
owner.ship  by  every  family  of  its  own 
liome  I  am  always  glad  to  indorse  effec- 
tive efforts  to  encourage  home  owner- 
ship." 

From  the  standpoint  of  home  ownership 
the  central  feature  of  the  exhibition  is  a 
full  sized  house  linown  as  the  Beautiful 
Home  Convenient.  This  dwelling  was  de- 
signed by  James  Dwight  Baum.  con- 
structed by  James  T.  Simpson,  and  fur- 
nished under  tJic  direction  of  W.  &  J. 
Sloan  Company.  Figures  on  the  cost  of 
construction,  furnishings  and  equipment 
are  available,  and  duplicate  plans  of  the 
house  were  sold  on  the  floor  of  the  ex- 
hibition.

RECORD    AND    GUIDE 


April  29,  1922 


CURRENT    BUILDING    OPERATIONS 


SEVERAL  sharp  advances  in  building 
material  prices  have  been  reported 
during  the  past  week  and  as  a  result  the 
construction  outlook  is  not  quite  as  fav- 
orable as  it  was  just  a  short  time  ago. 
Common  brick  was  advanced  from  $16  to 
$17  a  thousand,  wholesale,  and  there  is 
practically  none  obtainable  even  at  the 
latter  figure.  Dealers  are  not  optimistic 
regarding  the  future  as  the  demand  for 
brick  is  extremely  heavy,  and,  as  the  re- 
serve supplies  at  the  up-river  plants  are 
low.  there  is  every  likelihood  that  further 
advances  will  be  announced  within  the 
next  few  days.  Although  brick  manu- 
facturers have  their  plants  in  operation, 
the  production  will  be  curtailed  until  the 
coal  strike  is  settled  and  a  full  supply  of 
fuel    is    assured. 

Fabricated  steel,  Portland  cement,  face 
brick  and  lumber  have  also  advanced  in 
price  during  the  past  week  and  there  is 
little  stability  to  the  present  building 
material  market  as  far  as  prices  are  con- 
cerned. Builders  are  hopeful  that  the  ad- 
vancing trend  will  be  checked,  but  while 
the  building  program  continues  to  in- 
crease with  its  consequently  greater  de- 
mand for  basic  materials,  there  seems  but 
little  chance  of  levels  becoming  stationary 
for  any  length  of  time,  particularly  as 
manufacturing  costs  are  steadily  going 
up. 

Oonuao-n  Briclc — Demand  for  common 
brick  has  grown  so  insistent  that  there 
is  a  grave  possibility  that  considerable 
construction  in  this  city  is  likely  to  be  held 
up  because  of  a  shortage  At  present 
there  is  practically  no  brick  for  sale, 
dealers  are  cleaned  out  and  the  wholesale 
market  is  devoid  of  stock.  Although 
there  is  some  brick  available  at  the  up- 
river  plants  it  is  not  sufficient  for  cur- 
rent requirements.  The  majority  of  the 
Hudson  River  plants  are  in  operation, 
but  it  will  be  at  least  four  to  six  weeks 
before  the  new  product  is  ready  for  ship- 
ment. The  output  during  the  next  month 
or  so  will  depend  largely  upon  the  fuel 
supply.  The  coal  strike  will  materially 
effect  the  output  unless  it  is  speedily 
settled.  Many  of  the  manufacturers  have 
coal  on  hand  for  burning  their  first  kilns, 
but  after  that  they  will  be  dependent 
upon  new  supplies.  The  element  of  cost 
is  also  a  factor  at  present.  Coal  dust,  in 
addition  to  being  extremely  scarce,  is 
costing  brick  makers  upward  of  $3  per 
ton,  whereas  in  former  years  it  was 
plentiful  at  $1  or  less.  As  a  result  of  the 
prevailing  demand,  coupled  with  the 
shortage  of  common  brick,  prices  have 
sharply  advanced.      During  the  past  week 


the  wholesale  level  jumped  from  $16  to 
$17  a  thousand  and  there  is  every  likeli- 
hood that  the  next  cargoes  to  arrive  will 
go  out  at  even  higher  prices. 

Summary — Transactions  in  the  North 
River  brick  market  for  the  week  ending 
Thursday,  April  27,  1922.  Condition  of 
market;  Demand  strong:  prices  higher 
and  very  firm.  Quotations  (nominal)  $17 
a  thousand  to  dealers  in  cargo  lots  along- 
side dock.  Number  of  cargoes  arrived,  31: 
sales,  30.  Distribution;  Manhattan,  S; 
Bronx,  3;  Brooklyn,  14;  New  Jersey 
points,    4;    Astoria,    1. 


Structural  Steel — Despite  the  keen  com- 
petition aniong  local  contractors,  the  price 
for  fabricated  structural  steel  is  steadily 
advancing.  A  few  weeks  ago  it  was  pos- 
sible to  make  contracts  for  tonnages 
upward  of  1.000  tons  at  about  $60  to  $65 
per  ton  erected,  but  at  the  present  time 
$75  per  ton  is  the  ruling  figure  and  there 
are  not  many  contractors  who  will  be 
willing  to  undertake  contracts  at  that 
price.  The  coal  strike  has  greatly  effected 
the  production  of  steel  and  has  been  re- 
sponsible for  several  advanced  by  the 
mills.       Although     there     is     considerable

new  business  being-  awarded,  and  a  large 
amount  of  proposed  construction  is  now 
in  the  hands  of  contractors  for  estimates, 
the  feeling  is  general  throughout  the 
local  building  industry  that  a  considera- 
ble proportion  of  the  proposed  work  will 
be  held  in  abeyance  unless  prices  are 
rapidly    stabilized. 

Lumber — Trade  in  both  wholesale  and 
retail  departments  of  the  local  lumber 
market  is  extremely  active  and  there  are 
strong  indications  that  the  demand  is 
still  below  the  maximum  which  will  no 
doubt  come  within  the  next  month  or  six 


weeks.  Dealers  are  preparing  for  a  sus- 
tained buying  movement  resulting  from 
the  rapidly  increasing  building  program. 
The  residential  construction  boom,  now 
under  way  in  Brooklyn,  Queens  and  Bronx, 
and  in  the  nearby  suburban  districts,  is 
making  heavy  demands  upon  the  local 
lumber  reserves,  and  as  a  consequence 
prices  are  very  firm,  with  a  slight  ten- 
dency toward  higher  levels.  Although 
there  is  little  likelihood  of  a  radical  up- 
ward price  trend,  the  market  is  sure  to  be 
firm  throughout  the  comnig  months,  and 
if  a  shortag-e  develops  in  any  of  the  more

popular  lines  there  might  be  an  advance 
in  prices.  At  present  local  dealers  have 
adequate  stocks,  but  reports  from  manu- 
facturing centers  indicate  orders  in  excess 
of  production,  and  unless  this  situation  is 
changed  there  might  be  some  scarcity  be- 
fore the  end  of  the  current  building 
season. 

Builders'  HardTrare — Demand  is  rapidly 
improving  and  Jobbers  and  retailers  are 
making  active  preparations  for  one  of  the 
busiest  seasons  on  record  in  this  line. 
The  building  program  increases  daily  and 
within  the  next  five  or  six  weeks  activity 
in  the  construction  industry  should  reach 
its  maximum  intensity.  There  are  rumors 
of  developing  labor  disturbances,  but  the 
speculative  builders,  who  at  present  rep- 
resent the  major  portion  of  the  active 
operations  in  this  district,  are  not  par- 
ticularly worried  over  the  outlook.  Hard- 
ware prices  are  firm  and  likely  to  hold  to 
their  present  levels  throughout  the  sum- 
mer. 

Cast  Iron  Pipe — The  demand  for  this 
commodity  continues  strong  and  pro- 
ducers anticipate  •  excellent  business 
throughout  the  remainder  of  the  year. 
Municipal  business  is  lighter  than  it  was 
a  few  weeks  ago,  but  there  is  consid- 
erable in  prospect  and  private  buying  is 
steadily    gaining    in    volume. 

Linseed  Oil — Some  improvement  in  the 
demand  for  this  commodity  has  been  noted 
during  the  past  week  and  in  general  the 
market  is  stronger  than  it  has  been  for 
quite  some  time.  Although  business  has 
been  largely  confined  to  small  orders  for 
immediate  delivery  there  is  increased  in- 
quiry on  car  load  lot  business.  Local 
dealers  are  of  the  opinion  that  business 
will  materially  change  for  the  better 
as  the  spring  building  season   matures, 

l\iail» — The  situation  in  the  local  nail 
market  is  practically  unchanged  with  de- 
mand light  but  fair  indications  of  a  con- 
siderable improvement  in  trade  during  the 
next  month  or  six  weeks.  Both  manufac- 
turers and  Jobbers  are  looking  forward  to 
a  vast  amount  of  business  from  the  apart- 
ment house  building  program  now  getting 
ready  to  start  and  the  promise  of  a  large 
volume  of  suburban  building  of  one  kind 
or  another.  Nail  quotations  are  un- 
changed, with  New  York  prices  for  cut 
nails  $4  to  $4.25  base,  per  keg,  and  wire 
nails  $3.25  base,  per  keg. 

Window  Glass — The  speculative  build- 
ing boom  now  under  way  in  practically 
all  boroughs  of  New  York  City  is  creating 
a  very  active  demand  for  both  plate  and 
window  glass.  Local  Jobbers  anticipate 
steadily  increasing  business  throughout 
the  balance  of  the  year.

is  money  and  that  it  makes  little  difference 
where    you    borrow    it. 

n  it  costs  you  less  to  borrow  on  mort- 
gage from  us  than  it  does  elsewhere,  this 
is  one  good  reason  for  borrowing  from  us. 

On  ordinary  loans  of  medium  size  our 
charge  is  one  per  cent,  plus  the  charges 
for  papers,  stamps  and  surveys.  For  build- 
ing loans  or  unusual  loans  the  fees  are 
higher. 

We  stand  ready  to  quote  in  advance 
to  you  the  exact  cost  of  securing  the  loan 
and  if  you  want  to  borrow  money  on  any 
of  your  properties  we  shall  be  very  glad 
to  have  you  talk  it  over  with  our  Mortgage 
Department.

Tenants  Preferred  and  Tenants  Common 

A  new  term  has  crept  into  the  nomenclature  of  those 
New  Yorkers  interested  either  as  holders  or  occupants  of 
rentable  housing  space  within  the  city  limits.  By  the  deci- 
sion handed  down  in  the  Appellate  Division,  First  Depart- 
ment, in  the  case  of  the  Farnham  Realty  Corporation  against 
William  M.  Posner,  a  tenant,  which  was  printed  in  The 
Record  and  Guide  last  week,  the  "preferred  tenant"  is 
given  legal  status. 

Tenants  Preferred  are  those  lucky  individuals  holding 
leases  of  apartments  or  houses  in  effect  prior  to  October 
1,  1920.  It  was  for  their  special  benefit,  and  for  their  pro- 
tection only,  the  court  holds,  that  the  Emergency  Rent  Laws 
were  enacted.  With  respect  to  them  the  landlords  were 
by  these  laws  deprived  until  November  1,  1922,  since  ex- 
tended to  February  15,  1924,  of  the  right  to  begin  "all  pro- 
ceedings to  dispossess  them,  except  for  the  reasons  herein- 
after stated,  so  long  as  they  paid  a  'reasonable  rent,'  which 
is  the  term  used  for  a  statutory  charge  for  use  and  occupa- 
tion, to  be  ascertained  judicially  through  a  method  provided 
by  the  statues."  The  line  between  Tenants  Preferred  and 
Tenants  Common  is  more  clearly  defined  in  the  further  find- 
ing of  the  court  which  declares  that  "one  class  of  landlords 
is  selected  for  regulation  because  one  class  conspicuously 
oflfends ;  one  class  of  tenants  has  protection  because  all  who 
seek  homes  cannot  be  provided  with  places  to  sleep  and  eat. 
Those  who  are  out  of  possession,  willing  to  pay  exorbitant 
rentals,  or  imable  to  pay  any  rental  whatever,  have  been 
left  to  shift  for  themselves." 

This  summing  up  of  the  effect  of  the  Emergency  Rent 
Laws  upon  the  aggregate  body  of  residents  of  this  city  is 
not  the  hasty  dictum  of  police-court  magistrates,  not  the 
biased  assumption  of  owners  or  dealers  in  real  estate,  not 
the  agonized  cry  of  homeless  ones  or  those  forced  to  double 
up  in  cramped  and  unsanitary  quarters  to  escape  walking 
the  pavements,  but  is  the  matured  judgment  of  next  to  the 
highest  court  in  the  state,  and,  because  of  the  unanimous 
decision,  one  which  is  unlikely  to  be  reversed  if  carried  up 
to  the  Court  of  Appeals.  According  to  the  judgment  of  this 
high  tribunal  the  Emergency  Rent  Laws,  as  originaly  en- 
acted, mark  as  conspicuous  offenders,  in  the  sense  of  being 
notorious  profiteers,  all  those  landlords  who  had  signed 
leases  with  tenants  in  force  prior  to  October  1,  1920. 

It  is  neither  just  nor  right  that  practically  every  owner 
and  agent  of  housing  realty  in  the  city  should  be  branded  by 
the  Emergency  Rent  Laws  as  a  profiteer  whether  he  was 
merely  advancing  rentals  in  line  with  the  general  advance  in 
prices  of  every  other  commodity  or  was  coercing  tenants 
in  ways  only  resorted  to  by  unscrupulous  outsiders  who  had 
rushed  into  the  real  estate  field  to  exploit  the  harassed  and 
overcrowded  people  of  this  city  for  personal  gain.  The 
Emergency  Rent  Laws,  this  decision  says,  protected  those 
who  had  homes  because  all  who  needed  homes  could  not  get 
them,  instead  of  attempting  to  provide  homes  for  those  who 
had  none.  The  emergency  laws,  this  opinion  holds,  left 
Tenants  Common,  those  who  had  no  homes  and  could  not 
get  them,  "to  shift  for  themselves." 


Having  thus  definitely  characterized  the  Emergency  Rent 
Laws  as  enacted  for  the  benefit  of  those  who  had,  instead  of 
for  the  assistance  of  those  who  had  not,  the  court  takes  up 
the  considerations  operating  in  the  cases  of  those  less  fortu- 
nate than  the  favored  Tenants  Preferred.  As  between  per- 
sons seeking  homes  and  landlords  there  was  an  equality. 
If  the  landlord  demanded  more  than  the  prospective  tenant 
could  pay  the  lease  was  not  made.  "If  rentals  were  so 
high,"  the  court  holds,  "by  reason  of  scarcity  of  housing 
facilities,  as  to  make  an  unusually  large  return  on  the  invest- 
ment, capital  would  be  attracted,  building  of  dwellings, 
apartments  and  tenements  would  be  stimulated,  and  the 
level  of  rents  would  be  lowered  to  that  of  the  reasonable 
return  on  the  investment." 

Thus  profoundly  does  the  court  reaffirm  the  efficacy  of 
the  great  law  of  supply  and  demand.  Without  the  Emer- 
gency Rent  Laws  there  would  have  been  no  Tenants  Pre- 
ferred,  and  the  suffering  which  has  been  endured  patiently 
by  the  Tenants  Common  would  have  been  distributed  more 
evenly  over  the  aggregate  mass  of  the  people.  With  rentals 
taking  the  general  upward  trend  of  unrestricted  prices  for 
other  commodities  a  building  boom  which  was  delayed  by 
the  agitation  resulting  in  the  enactment  of  the  Emergency 
Rent  Laws  might  have  started  two  years  ago  instead  of  be- 
ing now  in  its  initial  stages,  and  the  housing  shortage  by 
now  might  have  been  measurably  relieved.  Had  the  Legis- 
lature taken  into  consideration  the  facts  which  the  Appellate 
Division  now  so  aptly  sets  forth  (instead  of  being  actuated 
by  demogogic  motives),  and  had  courageously  refused  to 
enact  laws  abrogating  property  rights,  the  inconveniences  of 
a  short  period  of  readjustment  of  the  housing  situation  on 
economic  lines  unquestionably  would  have  been  more  than 
offset  by  the  effect  higher  rentals  would  have  had  in  dimin- 
ishing "emergency"  conditions  by  stimulating  apartment- 
house  construction. 


Elements  of  Danger  in  Building  Boom 

Commitments  for  building  operations  during  the  month 
of  April  totaled  $353,192,000  in  the  twenty-seven  North- 
eastern States.  This  is  a  record  figure,  and  is  approxi- 
mately $35,500,000  greater  than  the  previous  high  total  of 
July,  1919.  Construction  statistics  as  tabulated  by  tlie  F. 
W.  Dodge  Company  show  that  various  sections  of  the 
United  States  are  experiencing  a  building  movement  of  un- 
precedented proportions  and  there  is  every  present  indica- 
tion that  the  volume  of  active  construction  will  steadily  in- 
crease rather  than  diminish  as  the  year  progresses. 

Reports  from  the  New  York  district  and  also  from  the 
New  England  territory  show  significant  gains  in  active 
building  during  the  past  month  and  in  both  of  these  sec- 
tions new  high  records  have  been  established.  The  total  of 
April  commitments  for  New  York  City  projects  is  ex- 
tremely high  and  it  substantiates  the  general  feeling  that 
the  local  building  industry  will  have  all  of  the  work  it  is 
capable  of  handling  with  efficiency  during  the  coming  six  or 
eight  months  at  least. 

In  April  contracts  were  awarded  for  639  building  and  en-

gineering  operations,  all  of  which  are  scheduled  for  locations 
in  Greater  New  York.  This  work  represents  an  outlay  of 
approximately  $80,000,000,  a  very  high  figure  when  com- 
pared with  the  totals  for  the  previous  months.  The  best 
evidence  of  the  situation  which  has  been  created  by  the  rush 
to  get  this  abnormal  amount  of  new  construction  started  is 
the  effect  upon  the  market  for  building  materials  and  the 
supply  of  skilled  labor  required  to  do  the  work. 

A  resultant  of  the  keen  competition  for  men  and  materials 
necessary  for  the  great  program  of  projected  construction 
is  a  serious  shortage  of  certain  basic  building  materials, 
with  notably  advancing  price  trends  for  these  commodities, 
and  a  decide  scarcity  of  skilled  mechanics  to  do  the  work  in 
hand.  Bricklayers  and  carpenters  are  unusually  scarce,  with 
practically  none  of  the  active  operations  in  New  York  City 
more  than  sixty  per  cent,  manned  with  bricklayers,  and  then 
only  upon  the  payment  of  substantial  bonuses  over  the  recog- 
nized union  wage  scale.  Speculative  builders  are  suffering 
particularly  in  this  regard.  Not  only  the  shortage  of  men 
and  materials  but  the  high  prices  for  essential  labor  and 


commodities  have  increased  their  construction  costs  far 
above  their  original  estimates. 

With  the  great  volume  of  new  construction  being  re- 
leased for  an  immediate  start,  plus  the  growing  shortage  of 
men  and  supplies,  there  is  the  likelihood  that  the  local  build- 
ing industry  will  be  forced  into  the  position  of  contracting 
for  more  work  than  it  will  be  able  to  absorb  without  diffi- 
culty. Undoubtedly  there  is  now  more  construction  ac- 
tually under  contract  or  planned  for  early  release  than  the 
industry  is  able  to  handle  without  extending  its  facilities  be- 
yond the  danger  point.  There  is  certain  to  be  a  slowing 
down  all  along  the  line  during  the  next  few  months  on 
operations  that  should  proceed  with  all  possible  haste  if 
mounting  costs  are  not  to  eliminate  all  profit  margins. 

While  everyone  concerned  with  the  welfare  and  progress 
of  the  local  building  industry  hesitates  to  argue  for  a  curtail- 
ment of  activity  in  general,  there  is  no  doubt  in  the  minds 
of  those  best  informed  about  prevailing  conditions  as  to  the 
wisdom  of  going  slow  with  the  release  of  additional  jobs 
until  the  industry  has  completed  existing  commitments. 


New  York  Building  Congress  Inaugurates  Luncheon  Meetings 


THE  Committee  on  Surveys  of  the  New  York  Building 
Congress  has  arranged  for  the  first  of  a  series  of  luncheon 
meetings  to  be  held  at  the  Engineers'  Club,  32  West  For- 
tieth street,  Tuesday,  May  9,  at  12:45  p.  m.,  sharp.  The  speaker 
will  be  Dr.  Benjamin  M.  Anderson,  Jr.,  economist  of  the  Chase 
National  Bank,  who  will  deliver  an  address  on  "Price  Trend  in 
Trade."  This  address  will  be  followed  by  an  opportunity  for 
an  open  discussion  if  the  time  permits.  The  meeting  will  start 
promptly  and  will  terminate  at  2:15  p.  m.  The  entire  member- 
ship of  the  New  York  Building  Congress  has  been  invited  to 
attend  and  brings  guests  who  might  be  interested  in  the  Con- 
gress  idea. 

Burt  L.  Fenner,  of  McKim,  Alead  &  White,  architects,  chair- 
man of  the  Committee  on  Apprenticeship  for  the  New  York 
Building  Congress,  made  the  following  statement  as  to  the 
progress  of  the  work  of  developing  building  trade  apprentices 
in   New  York  City: 

"In  response  to  the  increasing  need  for  skilled  and  properly 
trained  mechanics  in  the  building  trades  of  the  Metropolitan 
District  the  Executive  Board  of  the  New  York  Building  Con- 
gress at  its  meeting  January  10,  1922,  established  a  committee 
to  investigate  the  conditions  and  submit  recommendations.  The 
personnal  of  this  committee  included  investors,  architects,  en- 
gineers, contractors,  labor  representatives  and  others  less  di- 
rectly related  to  the  building  industry. 

"After  a  careful  investigation  of  the  source  of  labor  supply 
and  the  conditions  which  generally  afifect  it  the  committee  de- 
termined that  the  only  possible  way  in  which  the  demand  for 
properly  trained  mechanics  could  be  met  is  in  the  development 
of  the  system  of  training  in  the  building  trades  which  would 
not  only  be  productive  of  results  in  increased  proficiency  but 
also  make  the  building  industry  attractive  to  the  American 
youth  who  constitutes  such  excellent  material.  Recommenda- 
tions to  this  effect  were  submitted  to  the  executive  board  and 
a  definite  program  of  development  was  determined  upon  to 
meet   this    basic    need. 

"An  executive  office  was  opened  at  347  Madison  avenue  and 
Mr.  Frank  L.  Glynn,  a  specialist  on  apprenticeship,  employed 
to  serve  with  the  committee  subject  to  development  in  the 
judgment   of   the   executive   board  of  the   congress. 

"The  first  work  of  the  committee  found  expression  in  Bulletin 
No.  1  on  an  apprenticeship  system  for  the  building  trades  in 
the  Metropolitan  District  issued  in  March  and  sent  to  each 
member  of  the  Congress. 

"The  main  purpose  of  this  bulletin  was  to  work  out  a  plan 
of  sound  educational  merit  which  would  be  acceptable  to  em- 


ployers and  to  labor  with  the  result  that  it  has  been  endorsed 
officially  by  the  New  York  Building  Trades  Employers'  Asso- 
ciation, the  New  York  Building  Trades  Council,  and  the  New 
York   State   Department  of  Education. 

This  plan  covers  the  administration,  management,  operation, 
and  control  of  the  apprenticeship  system  proposed  and  in- 
cludes several  important  principles  that  are  vital  to  its  suc- 
cess. 

"The  purpose  of  the  Congress  is  to  foster,  encourage  and 
stimulate.  The  administration  and  management  is  to  be  vested 
in  a  General  Joint  Apprenticeship  Committee  consisting  of  five 
employers  to  be  selected  by  the  associations  of  building  em- 
ployers, five  labor  men  to  be  selected  by  the  building  trades' 
unions  and  three  members  of  the  New  York  Building  Congress, 
none  of  whom  are  to  be  identified  directlj'  with  either  contrac- 
tors or  labor. 

"This  Committee  will  have  full  power  to  administer  and  direct, 
being  financed  equally  and  jointly  by  the  employers'  associa- 
tions and  the  labor  unions.  It  will  also  have  the  necessary  au- 
thority to  employ  for  full  time  service  such  assistants  as  may 
be   necessary  to  develop  the  program. 

"The  standards  and  policies  to  be  established  for  each  trade 
division  of  the  industry  are  to  be  determined  by  the  Joint 
Trade  Board  for  each  such  division  and  approved  by  the  asso- 
ciation  and   unions   so   represented. 

"The  operation  of  the  service  will  consist  of  having  the  ap- 
prentice learn  the  trade  through  his  regular  employment  and 
receive  his  instruction  covering  the  related  technical  studies 
of  applied  mathematics,  science,  trade  information  and  citizen- 
ship in  the  continuation  and  evening  schools  under  the  City 
Board   of    Education. 

"Since  the  adoption  of  the  general  plan  the  committee  has 
developed  an  apprenticeship  system  definitely  applied  to  the 
carpentry  trade  as  involved  in  building,  cabinet  making,  par- 
quet floor  work,  cement  form  work  and  metal  covered  door  and 
window  work. 

"This  plan  has  been  endorsed  by  the  Carpenters'  Joint  Com- 
mittee on  Trade  Agreement,  the  Master  Carpenters'  Association 
and  the  Carpenters  District  Trades'  Council. 

"The  preliminary  work  is  now  being  done  for  the  tile  laying 
apprenticeship  and  others,  in  their  order  of  importance,  as  the 
general   needs    of   the   industry   may   require. 

"In  conclusion  it  may  be  stated  that  we  have  not  only  met 
with  the  heartiest  co-operation  from  all  sides  locally  but  a 
widespread  interest  has  also  been  aroused  throughout  the 
country  in  response  to  the  universal  need  for  such  a  develop- 
ment."

REAL    ESTATE     SECTION 


Tenant  Ownership  Movement  Spreading  Throughout  City 

Principally  Confined  at  First  to  Co-operative  Apartments,  High-Stoop  and  American 
Basement  Houses,  It  Now  Includes  Many  Business  Properties 


THE  buying  by  tenants  of  private  residences  and  business 
properties  which  has  been  going  on  steadily  during  the 
last  eighteen  months  and  with  seemingly  increasing  vol- 
ume is  considered  by  leaders  in  the  real  estate  market  as  an 
auspicious  omen  for  increasing  investment  interest  in  real  prop- 
erty. The  main  cause  of  this  strong  movement  is  an  after- 
math of  the  World  War,  when  a  shortage  of  residential  and 
business  space  was  everywhere  evident  throughout  the  city 
and  when  the  keenness  of  demand  caused  great  increases  in 
rentals  on  new  leases. 

For  those  who  had  tlie  money  available  to  buy  the  home 
or  place  of  business  occupied  by  them,  instead  of  paying  high 
rentals,  it  was  a  wise  thing  to  do,  because  it  not  only  assured 
them  of  permanency  in  a  desirable  neighborhood,  but  it  also 
assured  them  against  further  rental  increases  due  to  competi- 
tion with  others  for  the  same  quarters.  In  the  long  run  owner- 
ship proves  an  economy  to  an  owner  provided  he  occupies  the 
property.  He  obtains  a  big  return  on  his  investment  in  more 
ways  than  one. 

So  far  as  shortage  of  living  space  is  concerned  the  housing 
crisis  did  one  good  thing;  it  made  popular  again  the  private 
dwelling  with  high  stoop  or  American  basement,  both  of  which 
types  had  lost  caste  through  the  increasing  popularity  of  the 
apartment  house.  Many  persons  who  were  driven  to  rent  old 
dwellings  have  bought  them  and  will  never  return  to  apartment 
houses,  especially  families  with  children.  The  high  prices  of 
first-class  apartments  since  the  war  has  had  another  favorable 
effect  on  private  dwellings  of  the  old  type.  It  has  caused  many 
younger  couples  of  well-to-do  families  to  buy  and  live  in  three 
and  four-story  dwellings  in  neighborhoods  which  have  been 
going  back  in  recent  years.  This  in  turn  has  had  a  beneficial 
effect  on  adjacent  values.  Especially  has  there  been  a  toning 
up  of  residential  values  in  the  blocks  from  Fiftieth  to  Seventieth 
streets,  between  Park  and  Third  avenues,  where  old  dwellings 
of   the   character   described   abound. 

Medium-sized  business  properties  especially  have  been  in 
strong  demand  for  ownership  by  the  tenants.  The  lower  parts 
of  Pearl,  Front  and  Water  streets  have  witnessed  many  such 
purchases,  and  only  a  few  days  ago  an  old  and  well-know  firm 
on  South  street  bought  a  large  warehouse  there  running 
through  to  Front  street  which  it  had  long  occupied  under  lease. 
The  lower  West  side  has  been  just  as  active  in  tenant  buying. 
In  West  street,  Greenwich  street,  White  street,  Lispenard 
street,  West  Broadway,  Franklin  street.  Canal  street,  Hudson 
street,  and  throughout  Greenwich  Village  and  contiguous  areas 
tenants  have  bought  the  properties  they  occupy  for  business 
purposes  and  have  leased  the  parts  of  the  building  not  needed 
for  their  own  use,  while  in  other  instances  they  have  bought 
for  the  purpose  of  occupying  the  entire  building.  Even  though 
fee  values  are  higher  than  in  the  past  these  tenants  have  found 
it  wise  to  buy. 

The  economy  of  business-building  ownership  for  niaiix  i^ 
demonstrated  in  a  recent  sale  on  the  Lower  West  Side.  The 
buyer  was  a  firm  that  had  for  more  than  twenty  years  occupied 
leased  quarters  in  the  lower  Wall-street  region.  Because  ol 
big  rental  increase  they  moved  to  the  Bcekman-street  district. 
where  a  rental  increase  again  drove  them  out.  As  a  matter  of 
fact  they  had  been  enjoying  very  low  rent  on  an  old  lease  '-n  the 
first  place.     Finally  they  changed  their  view  on  the  situation 


which  led  to  the  purchase  in  the  lower  West  Side.  Brokers  who 
dealt  with  them  know  that  it  would  have  been  economically 
wiser  if  they  had  bought  in  the  neighborhood  they  were 
originally  forced  out  of. 

It  is  felt  that  general  buying  by  business  tenants  of  the  prop- 
erties they  occupy  has  given  stronger  basis  to  real  estate 
throughout  the  city  because  money  so  invested  would  other- 
wise have  gone  into  Wall  Street.  The  circumstances  has 
aroused  new  confidence  in  real  property  and  made  it  a  stronger 
commodity  than   it  has  been  for  many  years. 

Distinguished  during  the  last  eighteen  months  for  buying 
properties  previously  leased  is  the  wholesale  produce  business, 
especially  the  butter-and-egg  branch  of  it.  The  vehicular  tun- 
nel under  the  North  River  will  have  a  Manhattan  entranc'?  and 
e.xit  adjacent  to  this  district,  and  produce  merchants  saw  the 
advantage  of  owning  and  holding  fast  to  the  quarters  they  were 
occupying.  The  purpose  of  buyers  here  is  true  of  tenant  buy- 
ers throughout  town,  to  hold  fast  to  that  which  is  good  for 
them  commercially  and  economically. 

The  Second  and  Third  avenue  sections  of  Yorkville  and  Har- 
lem form  another  part  of  the  city  where  tenants  of  stores  have 
bought  the  old  tenement  houses  with  stores  in  the  ground 
floors  for  the  purpose  of  retaining  the  desired  business  loca- 
tion. Sales  in  that  section  to  tenants  are  still  being  made. 
The  General  Cigar  Company,  which  had  leased  a  7-story  build- 
ing at  the  southeast  corner  of  Second  avenue  and  Fifty-fourth 
street,  recently  bought  the  property.  In  the  lower  East  Side 
tenants  recently  bought  six  3  and  4-story  buildings  forming 
the  southwest  corner  of  Bleecker  and  Elizabeth  streets.  A 
druggist  at  223  Grand  street,  after  being  a  tenant  for  thirty- 
five  years,  has  bought  the  S-story  loft  building  at  that  address. 
Wing  Woh  Chong  &  Co.,  wholesale  Chinese  merchants,  recently 
bought  30-32  Pell  street,  which  they  had  leased  for  a  long  time 
previously.  The  tenants  of  the  5-story  loft  building  at  57 
Beekman  street  bought  it.  In  order  to  assure  itself  of  a  per- 
manent strategic  corner  on  Union  Square  the  Corn  Exchange 
Bank  recently  acquired  the  6-story  building  at  the  south  corner 
of  the  Square  and  East  Sixteenth  street,  which  it  had  previously 
leased.  Not  long  ago  a  tenant  bought  the  apartment  house 
with  stores  at  43  East  Fifty-ninth  street.  Tenant  merchants 
occupying  the  12-story  mercantile  building  at  the  northwest 
corner  of  Fourth  avenue  and  Twenty-first  street  have  bought 
it  after  having  leased  it  for  a  term. 

There  is  no  part  of  town  that  the  tenant  buying  movement 
has  not  reached.  The  Bron.x  and  Brooklyn  each  has  such  a 
movement,  although  it  is  not  so  extensive  nor  so  strong  as  in 
Manhattan.  The  West  Side,  the  upper  West  Side  and  Harlem 
in  recent  months  have  been  the  most  active  in  tenant  buying. 
The  Clef  Club  a  few  days  ago  bought  the  property  it  leased  as 
a  clubhouse  at  132-134  West  Fifty-third  street.  The  Childs 
restaurant  corporation  bought  the  4-story  building  at  221  Sixth 
avenue,  which  it  had  previously  occupied  under  a  long  lease. 
Chain  stores  consider  it  good  business  to  buy  their  locations 
instead  of  depending  on  leases  of  from  21  years  upward  to  pro- 
tect them  in  the  great  expense  of  fitting  up  their  establishments. 
Tenants  not  long  ago  bought  the  12-story  building  at  the 
northeast  corner  of  Seventh  avenue  and  Twenty-fourth  street. 
Eight  years  ago  the  tenants  of  the  12-story  loft  building  at 
20-26  West  Thirty-sixth  street  leased  it  at  an  aggregate  rental

May  6,  1922 


May  1  Moving  Below  Normal  Proportions  of  Pre-War  Days 

Principal  Changes  Took  City  Renters  to  Homes  Bought  in  Suburbs,  But  Queens 
Profited  Somewhat  at  Expense  of  Other  Boroughs 


THE  volume  of  moving  on  May  1  from  point  to  point  with- 
in the  city  was  less  than  normal  when  compared  with 
conditions  previous  to  the  housing  shortage  that  began 
three  years  ago.  It  was  predicted  last  week,  by  those  who  do 
the  bulk  of  the  carting,  that  this  would  be  the  situation  on  the 
first  day  of  the  month.  The  total  amount  of  moving  was  great- 
er, however,  than  on  May  1,  1920,  or  last  year,  but  most  of  this 
was  to  residential  points  beyond  the  city  limits,  to  and  v\ithin 
Queens  Borough,  and  the  moving  of  tenants  from  one  office  or 
mercantile  building  to  another.  There  was  a  modicum  of  mov- 
ing to  the  Bronx,  and  some  moving  to  and  from  points  in 
Brooklyn.  It  looks  as  if  May  1  as  a  date  for  general  moving 
will  not  be  so  popular  as  formerly  for  years  to  come.  A  change 
in  the  amount  of  vacant  living  space  in  the  future  may  restore 
May  1  to  favor  as  a  usual  time  of  the  year  for  changing  resi- 
dence. No  one,  neither  the  real  estate  men  nor  the  moving- 
van  owners,  is  willing  to  prophesy  as  to  future  activity  at  the 
ancient  moving  period.  The  housing  situation  has  everything 
to  do  with  it. 

About  one-half  of  the  vans  in  the  greater  city  were  busy  on 
the  first  of  the  month,  whereas  in  the  heyday  of  spring  moving 
every  van,  truck  and  wagon  was  recruited  for  service,  as  well 
as  many  freight  cars  to  suburban  points.  Tenants  just  now  are 
quite  prone  to  remain  where  they  are,  and  this  applies  to  the 
suburbs  as  well  as  to  the  city.  Tenants  in  houses  in  suburban 
towns  of  New  York  and  New  Jersey  renewed  their  leases  on 


May  1,  if  they  could,  for  another  year.  Most  of  them  suc- 
ceeded in  doing  so.  The  housing  shortage  is  almost  as  acute 
in  many  suburbs  as  it  has  been  in  this  city,  for  those  who  rent 
living  space.  While  the  bulk  of  the  moving  in  New  York  City 
was  to  suburban  places  those  who  moved  in  most  cases  took 
possession  of  homes  they  had  bought. 

The  outlying  sections  of  Queens  Borough  received  a  large  in- 
flux of  home  owners  from  the  labor  element  of  Manhattan's 
population,  who  utilized  their  savings  for  paying  substantial 
amounts  down  on  one-family  houses.  The  rapid  transit  routes 
in  Queens  have  brought  much  of  its  area  within  the  five-cent 
fare  zone.  There  has  been  much  buyi-ng  of  this  kind  in  the  out- 
b'ing  sections  of  Jamaica,  in  Corona,  in  Ozone  Park,  in  Rose- 
dale  and  other  comparatively  open  parts  of  the  borough.  Many 
two-family  houses  have  been  sold  to  the  same  kind  of  buyers, 
who  rent  the  upper  part  to  a  tenant  at  a  rental  that  helps  mate- 
rially to  pay  their  carrying  charge  and  instalments  on  the 
mortgage. 

It  is  a  question,  in  the  opinion  of  many  observers,  whether 
the  heavy  exodus  to  the  suburbs  this  spring  will  tend  to  reduce 
apartment  rentals  in  the  Bronx  and  Brooklyn  or  whether  the 
steady  demand  for  living  space  in  town  will  offset  the  move- 
m.ent.  The  fact  is  that  rents  are  very  high  even  thirty  miles 
from  New  York  to  which  must  be  added  the  expense  of  com- 
mutation. The  difference  is  that  in  the  suburbs  the  tenant  ob- 
tains a  house  instead  of  an  apartment  or  he  obtains  an  apart- 
ment in  a  good  two-family  house  with  suburban  surroundings.

of  $600,000;  they  recently  purchased  it.  The  tenant  of  the  3- 
story  business  building  at  539  West  Fifty-third  street,  after 
leasing  it  continuously  for  thirty-five  years,  recently  took  title 
to  it.  A  furniture  firm  that  had  long  had  quarters  at  the  north- 
west corner  of  Sixth  avenue  and  Thirty-seventh  street  bought 
the  group  of  old  buildings  situated  there  for  $600,000.  An  an- 
tique dealer  who  for  some  time  had  leased  the  former  fine 
residence  of  the  late  John  F.  Carroll  at  40  West  Fifty-seventh 
street,  recently  bought  it.  A  well-known  restaurateur  who  long 
occupied  the  3-story  brick  building,  224-226  West  Forty-seventh 
street,  near  Times  Square,  has  taken  title  to  it  so  as  to  be  as- 
sured of  permanent  location  near  the  Square.  Another  res- 
taurateur not  long  ago  purchased  185  West  Forty-ninth  s'reet, 
near  Seventh  avenue,  which  he  occupied  under  a  lease. 

Eighth  avenue  has  witnessed  a  strong  tenant  buying  cam- 
paign. A  tenant  bought  the  buildings  comprising  355-357  Eighth 
avenue  with  an  L  to  30  West  Twenty-eighth  street.  A  4-story 
apartment  house  with  store  at  147  Eighth  avenue  was  bought  by 
the  store  tenant.  Other  tenant  purchases  have  been  made 
there  and  still  others  are  understood  to  be  in  course  of  nego- 
tiation. The  West  Side  Club,  after  leasing  the  dwelling,  270 
West  Eighty-fourth  street,  for  a  number  of  years,  recently 
bought  it.  The  most  notable  farthest  north  buying  in  Man- 
hattan was  that  of  six  store  tenants  who  bought  the 
2-story  brick  apartment   and  store  building,  110-120  Dyckman 

Aluminum  Shingles  the 

ANEW  type  of  roofing  has  recently  appeared  on  the  market 
in  the  form  of  aluminum  shingles.  This  metal  has  been 
made  available  by  the  recent  reduction  of  production  cost 
and  as  it  is  a  metal  that  will  not  corrode,  rust,  dry  out,  crack,  peel, 
curl  or  otherwise  deteriorate  it  makes  a  good  roofing  material. 
Special  features  of  the  new  shingle  obviate  the  use  of  solder,  yet 
afford  absolutely  water  tight  joints.  Another  feature  of  interest 
to  contractors  is  that  this  design  makes  it  possible  to  work  from 
the  ridge  down,  eliminating  all  scaffolding,  and  damage  to  the  laid 


street.    Each  bought  the  particular  part  of  the  building  he  uses. 

One  of  the  big  deals  uptown  was  the  purchase  by  the  Gotham 
National  Bank  of  the  leasehold  comprising  part  of  the  site  of 
its  new  building  at  the  northwest  corner  of  Broadway  and 
Fifty-ninth  street,  from  the  estate  of  Amos  R.  Eno.  A  few 
weeks  ago  a  firm  of  tenant  warehousemen  bought  the  12-story 
warehouse  at  Park  avenue  and  12Sth  street  and  another  large 
warehouse  in  the  western  part  of  12Sth  street  which  they  had 
leased.  The  large  boarding  garage  at  310-312  West  144th 
street  was  recently  bought  by  the  lessee.  A  florist  who  for 
thirty-two  years  had  leased  from  the  estate  of  William  Waldorf 
Astor  the  vacant  plot,  99.1  x  191.8,  at  the  northeast  corner  of 
Lenox  avenue  and  129th  street,  bought  the  property  in  order 
to  insure  the  permanency  of  his  hothouse  there.  Because  of 
its  growing  strength  as  a  traffic  center,  the  southwest  corner  of 
Broadway  and  Cathedral  Parkway,  containing  a  2-story  busi- 
ness building,  was  sold  a  few  days  ago  to  the  tenant,  the  Du 
Barry  Pastry  Shop.  At  a  price  said  to  be  $400,000  the  5-story 
busin'ess  building,  213-217  West  12Sth  street,  was  recently  bought 
by  the   principal  tenant. 

Emulating  some,  of  its  taxpayers,  the  City  of  New  York  re- 
cently became  the  owner  of  the  9-story  concrete  building  cov- 
ering a  Concord-street  block,  from  Duffield  street  to  Flatbush 
avenue  extension,  in  Brooklyn.  And  the  lessee  of  the  Ostend 
Hotel,  at  Far  Rockaway,  bought  that  property  in  preference  to 
signing  a  new  lease  for  it.

shingles  from  the  weight  of  the  workmen.  The  shingle  is  secured 
to  the  sheathing  by  aluminum  nails,  which  are  completely  covered 
by  the  tile  below.  Each  shingle  is  designed  to  be  securely  locked 
in  place  at  both  sides  and  ends  and  have  ample  corrugations  to 
allow  the  circulation  of  air. 

The  exposed  surface  of  each  shingle  is  12  by  14  inches,  86  to  the 
100  square  feet.  The  weight  is  about  40  pounds  to  the  100  square 
feet,  being  4  per  cent,  that  of  tile  and  7  per  cent,  that  of  slate.  This 
will  allow  lighter  roof  construction  and  a  corresponding  saving  in 
cost.    The  shingles  cost  about  the  same  as  tile

Modern  Bank  and  Office  Building  on  Grand  Union  Hotel  Site 

S.  W.  Straus  &  Co.  Underwrote  $6,000,0  )0  Serial  Bond  Issue  on  Pershing  Square 
Project  From  Designs  by  York   &  Sawyer  and  John   Sloan 

FOUNDATION  work  is  now  under  way 
for  the  twenty-four  story  bank  and  of- 
fice    building     being     erected     at     the 

southeast  corner  of  Park  Avenue  and  For- 
ty-second Street,  directly  opposite  the  Grand 

Central   Terminal.   This     structure    is  being 

built  by  the  Charles  T.  Wills  Company,  Inc. 

under  a  general  contract,  and  it  is  planned 

for  completion  by  Alarch  1,  1923. 
The  construction  of  this  project  was  made 

possible  by  S.  W.  Straus  &  Co.,  investment 

bankers,   who   recently    underwrote    a   first 

mortgage   serial   bond  issue  of  $6,000,000  on 

the   land   and   building.     The   plans   for   the 

structure  were  prepared  by  York  &  Sawyer 

and  John  Sloan,  associate  architects,  and  the 

structural    steel   frame    will   be   erected    by 

Post  &   McCord. 
The    Pershing    Square     Building,    as     this 

structure  will  be  known,  will  occupy  the  site 

made  famous  by  the  old  Grand  Union  Hotel, 

and  it  will  be  unique  among  the  recent  of- 
fice structures  in  New  York  City,  being  de- 
signed without  setbacks  as  required  in   the 

Zoning  Law  for  new  buildings  over  definite 

heights.     It  was  possible  to  proceed  in  this 

case  without  the  usual  setbacks  because  the 

foundation  footings   were  laid  prior  to  the 

enactment  of  the  law. 

The  site  comprises   a   Park-Avenue   fron- 
tage  of   197.6  feet,  between   Forty-first   and 

Forty-second  Streets,  with  a  depth  on  each 

of  these  streets  of  125  1/2  feet.    The  plans 

call  for  a  large  restaurant  in  the  basement, 

with  a  T  arcade  and  shops  on  the  first  floor. 

A  monumental  banking  room,  190x120  feet, 

with  a  ceiling  height  of  29  feet,  will  occupy 

the    second   third   floors,  above  which  there 

will  be  twenty-one  oflfice  floors.     There  will 

be  a  direct   entrance  through   the  basement 

to    the    Grand    Central    Terminal   and    three 

stairways   from  the  street  level  will  lead  to 
the  subway. 

The  Forty-second  Street  crosstown  sub- 
way will  have  its  new  station  in  the  sub- 
basement   of   this   building.     The   plans   call 

for  the  installation  of  fifteen  high-speed  electric  elevators  of 
the  traction  type,  arranged  in  two  banks,  for  local  and  ex- 
press service. 

The  facade  will  be  constructed  of  granite  face  brick  and 
polychrome  terra  cotta,  after  the  pre-Renaissance  period  of 
Northern  Italy.  The  Bowery  Savings  Bank's  Grand  Central 
Branch,  now  under  construction,  adjoins  the  Pershing  Square 
building   on   the   east. 

The  financing  for  the  Pershing  Square  Building  was  arranged 
by  the  Mandel-Ehrich  Corporation.     Seward  N.  Ehrich  is  sec-

ready  for  occupancy  for  nearly  a  year  several  leases  for  office 
space  already  have  been  signed,  including  one  by  the  Royal 
Indemnity  Company,  who  have  taken  the  fourth,  fifth  and  sixth 
floors.  The  Royal  Baking  Powder  Company  also  has  leased 
an  entire  floor,  and  several  important  leases  are  now  under 
negotiation  with  corporations  for  portions  of  the  400,000 
square  feet  of  space  in  the  building  available  as  high  class 
offices. 


Cement  Output  Is  Steady 


STATISTICS  prepared  by  the  United  States  Geological 
Survey  show  cement  production  for  the  first  quarter  of 
1922  at  15,254,000  bbl.,  as  against  15,240,000  bbl.  for  the 
same  period  in  1921.  Shipments  totaled  13,218,000  bbl.,  as  com- 
pared with  12,091,000  bbl.  for  the  first  three  months  of  1921. 
Although  the  production  rate  for  the  first  three  months  of  1922 
is  practical!  ythe  same  as  that  for  the  first  quarter  of  last 
year,  increased  shipments  over  last  year  indicate  growing  de- 
mand.    Stocks  on  hand  at  the  end  of  March,  1922,  aggregated 


13,824,000  bbl.,  as  compared  with   12,000,000  bbl.  inventoried  on 
March  31,  1921. 

Department  of  Commerce  reports  show  imports  of  hydraulic 
cement  in  March  amounting  to  1,597  bbl.,  valued  at  $4,308.  The 
total  for  1921  was  122,317  bbl.,  worth  $388,828.  March  imports 
were  from  Mexico,  902  bbl.;  France,  322  bbl.;  Japan,  2S3  bbl.;

Everybody  Needs  Hot  Water 

This  Tells  How  to  Get  It 


For  the  greater  convenience  of  our 
customers  we  have  just  organized  a 

WATER  HEATING  &  HOUSE  HEATING  DIVISION 

at  No.  130  East  Fifteenth  Street 

AIR  experts  will  give  prompt  attention  to  those  who  are  con- 
sidering the  use  of  Gas  either  for  Heating  Water  or  the 
Heating  of  a  House,  Apartment,  Loft  or  Large  Building. 

Architects  and  Builders,  with  advantage  to  themselves  and  their 
clients,  should  ask  for  the  services  of  one  of  our  highly  qualified 
Experts.  His  services  are  gratis. 

As  to  Gas  Water  Heating:  There  are  Gas  Water  Heaters  for  use 
in  the  Home,  Office  or  Factory.  Then  again  we  install  a  Gas  Water 
Heating  System  that  will  furnish  a  large  building  with  an  instan- 
taneous, uninterrupted.  Summer  or  all-year-round  supply  of  hot 
water.  The  Gas  Boiler  installed  requires  no  attention.  It  regulates 
itself  automatically. 

Many  private  houses  are  using  this  System,  as  well  as  many  large 
buildings.  One  of  the  latter  requires  nearly  40,000  gallons  of  hot 
water  every  week.  Another  large  building  requires  nearly  6,000 
gallons  a  day,  every  drop  of  which  is  Gas  heated. 

Every  person  interested  in  a  newly  constructed  building,  or  one 
under  construction  or  contemplated,  or  in  a  building  being  or 
about  to  be  remodeled,  should  consider  the  advantages  of  Gas 
Water  Heating.

Review  of  Real  Estate  Market  for  the   Current  Week 


Fifth  Avenue  Sales  and  Large  Apartment 

Leases  Were  the  St 

FIFTH  AVENUE  led  the  real  estate  market  this  week,  while 
some  of  the  blocks  adjacent  to  it  contributed  interesting 
transactions.  The  tall  and  modern  Connick  building  at  244 
Fifth  avenue,  which  was  acquired  some  time  ago  by  well  known 
operators,  was  turned  over  at  a  good  profit  to  them.  The  late 
Andrew  J.  Connick,  who  laid  the  foundations  of  his  fortune  as 
a  first-class  tailor  on  the  avenue  and  who  augmented  it  largely 
in  operations  on  Washington  Heights  and  elsewhere  during  the 
boom  days,  built  the  Fifth  avenue  structure  just  sold  and  had 
his  tailoring  business  there.  While  customers  were  being 
measured  for  new  suits  by  his  assistants,  Mr.  Connick  would 
sit  near  a  big  front  window  of  the  second  floor  and  negotiate 
sales  and  purchases  of  property.  He  died  only  a  few  years 
ago.  A  large  vacant  corner  at  Fifth  avenue  and  109th  street 
was  sold  by  operators  to  builders  who  will  improve  it  with  fine 
apartment  houses.  Fifth  avenue  and  the  Murray  Hill  section 
of  Madison  avenue  were  long  bones  of  contention  between 
private  house  owners  and  apartment  house  builders.  It  looks 
now  as  if  the  latter  are  to  have  their  own  way  except  as  to  the 
height  of  apartment  buildings.  The  large  and  costly  residence 
of  J.  Henry  Dick,  at  20  East  S3d  street  and  near  Fifth  avenue, 
was    leased    for    a    term    of   21    years    for    business    purposes. 


Houses  Throughout  City  as  Well  as  Big 
rongest  Features 

Max    Natanson    bought    a    good    parcel    near    Fifth    avenue. 

Large  apartment  houses  in  the  upper  West  and  upper  East 
sides,  the  aggregate  values  of  which  runs  into  several  millions 
of  dollars,  changed  hands  during  the  week.  There  were  some 
large  apartment  houses  in  the  Bronx  sold  as  well.  In  both 
boroughs  corner  apartment  houses  formed  a  notable  feature 
of  the  dealing.  In  the  Bronx,  too,  there  were  good  sales  of 
river  front  parcels  for  mercantile  uses.  Throughout  the  city 
there  was  an  abundance  of  dealing  in  all  kinds  of  multi-family 
houses,  taxpayers,  private  dwellings  and  mercantile  buildings. 
There  was  some  buying  of  properties  by  tenants  who  had  long 
occupied  them.  Brooklyn  contributed  some  important  sales. 
In  the  Bronx  one  investor  bought  five  apartment  houses  on 
Webster  avenue,  while  a  taxpayer  containing  14  stores  at 
Jerome  avenue  and  Fordham  road  passed  to  new  hands. 

Large  leases  formed  a  strong  phase  of  the  week's  business. 
The  Wendel  estate  leased  a  Lexington  avenue  corner  for  42 
years;  a  market  property  on  a  Madison  avenue  corner  was 
leased,  net,  for  21  years;  the  Samuel  J.  Tilden  estate  leased  a 
building  on  West  38th  street,  net,  for  21  years;  and  there  were 
other  leases  that  show  increment  of  New  York  real  estate  as 
well  as  those  cited. 


PRIVATE  REALTY  SALES. 


np  HE  total  number  ot  sales  reported,  but  not

Keep  A  Bank  Balance 


ONE   of    Wall    Street's    greatest    financiers,    in   talking   to   some   young   men, 
recently    said: 

**Start    a    bsnk    account    and    maintain    a    decent    balance.      I    base    my    success 

on   the  fact   that   I    have  always   looked   to   my    bank   balances. 

"With    a    bank    balance,    which    incidentally    draws    regular    interest,    you    are 

always    in    a    position    to    take    advantage    of   an    opportunity    to    make    a    good 

investment.      Your    money    is    always    ready    when    you    need    it." 

Start    tmall — if    you    have   to — but    start.

BUILDING     SECTION 


April  Construction  Totals  Break  All  Previous  Records 


Monthly  Statistics  Tabulated  by  F.  W. 
Building  Boom  in  Twenty 

ALL  previous  records  for  the  number  and  value  of  new 
building;  and  engineering  operations  started  were  broken 
during  the  month  of  April  and  the  period  now  stands  out 
in  construction  history  as  an  era  of  steady  progress  toward  the 
long  predicted  building  revival.  According  to  statistics  tabu- 
lated by  the  F.  W.  Dodge  Company  it  is  shown  that  contracts 
awarded  in  tlie  twenty-seven  Northeastern  States  during  the 
past  month  amounted  to  $353,192,000.  The  previous  high  record 
■was  established  during  the  month  of  July,  1919,  the  total  for 
that  period  having  been  $317,698,000. 

The  April,  1922  total  represents  an  increase  of  20  per  cent, 
over  the  previous  month  and  of  60  per  cent,  over  April,  1921. 
The  first  four  months  of  the  current  year  have  rolled  up  a 
total  figure  that  is  just  under  a  billion  dollars  and  is  65  per  cent. 
greater  than  the  total  of  commitments  for  the  first  four  months 
of  last  year. 

There  was  a  decided  increase  in  the  showing  of  every  impor- 
tant classification  of  building  projects  during  April,  even  in 
the  industrial  work,  which  has  been  the  last  group  to  respond 
to  the  noticeable  trend  toward  renewed  activity.  Residential 
building  continues  to  maintain  its  lead  over  all  other  types 
of  construction  and  in  April  this  work  amounted  to  $132,478,000 
or  ill  per  cent,  of  the  total  for  the  month.  Public  works  and 
titilities  represented  a  total  expenditure  of  $75,251,000  or  21 
per  cent,  of  the  total  commitment;  business  buildings,  $58,711,- 
OOO,  or  17  per  cent.,  a  notable  increase  over  the  total  for  the 
previous  month;  educational  projects,  $36,718,000  or  10  per  cent, 
and  industrial  construction,  including  factories,  warehouses,  etc., 
$24,312,000  or  7  per  cent. 

April  building  contracts  in  New  England  amounted  to  $44,- 
510,000,  which  is  five  millions  greater  than  the  previous  high 
record  for  the  district,  reached  in  March,  1920.  The  April 
total  was  60  per  cent,  ahead  of  the  previous  month  and  two  and 
a  half  times  the  figure  for  April,   1921. 

The  total  amount  of  contracts  awarded  in  this  district  during 
the  first  four  months  of  this  year  has  been  two  and  a  quarter 
times  the  amount  for  the  corresponding  period  of  1921. 

Last  month's  total  included;  $14,485,000,  or  32  per  cent.,  for 
residential  buildings;  $14,379,000,  or  32  per  cent.,  for  business 
buildings;  $4,606,000,  or  10  per  cent.,  for  educational  buildings; 
and  $4,204,000,  or  9  per  cent.,  for  industrial  buildings. 

Contemplated  new  work  reported  in  April  amounted  to  $51,- 
873,000. 

Contracts  awarded  during  April  in  New  York  State  and  Nor- 
thern New  Jersey  exceed  the  previous  high  record  for  the  dis- 
trict by  nearly  27  miUion  dollars.  The  April  total  was  $115,502,- 
OOO,  which  was  30  per  cent,  greater  than  the  March  figure,  and 
two  and  a  quarter  times  the  figure  for  April,  1921. 

Study  of  the  recent  work  released  shows  an  important  gain 
in  commercial  and  industrial  construction  but  residential  build- 
ing still  maintains  a  healthy  lead  over  all  other  classifications. 
There  is  no  indication  of  a  recession  of  activity  in  the  Metro- 
politan district  despite  the  fact  that  labor  is  not  plentiful  and 
there  is  a  developing  scarcity  of  certain  basic  materials. 

Construction  started  in  this  district  in  the  first  four  months 
•of  this  year  was  two  and  a  half  times  as  great  as  in  the  first 
four  months  of  1921. 

Last  month's  total  included:  $52,717,000,  or  46  per  cent.,  for 
residential    buildings;   $28,307,000,    or   24    per    cent.,    for    public

District  of  Columbia,  Virginia  and  the  Carolinas)  amounted  to 
$48,663,000,  which  was  an  increase  of  9  per  cent,  over  the  pre- 
ceding month  and  of  78  per  cent,  over  April,  1921.

April  building  contracts  in  Western  Pennsylvania,  West  Vir- 
ginia, Ohio,  Kentucky  and  Tennessee  amounted  to  $46,478,000. 
This  figure  was  23  per  cent,  greater  than  that  for  the  previous 
month  and  10  per  cent,  greater  than  the  total  for  April,  1921. 

Total  construction  contracts  let  during  the  first  four  months 
of  this  year  have  amounted  to  6  per  cent,  more  than  in  the  first

The  April,  1922,  total  included:  $18,220,000,  or  39  per  cent,  for 
residential  buildings ;  $7,367,000,  or  16  per  cent.,  for  business 
buildings;  $6,891,000,  or  15  per  cent.,  for  public  works  and  util- 
ities;  and  $4,885,000,   or   10  per  cent.,   for  industrial   buildings. 

Contemplated  new  work  reported  during  the  month  amounted 
to  $65,758,000. 

Contracts  awarded  during  April  in  the  Central  West  (com- 
prising Illinois,  Indiana,  Iowa,  Wisconsin,  Michigan,  Missouri 
and  portions  of  Eastern  Kansas  and  Nebraska)  amounted  to

Local  Building  Retarded  by  Chaotic  Material  Situation 

Coal  Strike  Causes  Scarcity  and  High  Prices  for  Certain  Basic  Commodities,  While 
Curtailed  Demand  Lowers  Levels  on  Other  Products 


CONTRACTING  interests  in  the  Metropolitan  District  are 
somewhat  concerned  over  a  developing  situation  which 
threatens  to  retard  building  operations  in  this  territory 
during  the  next  few  months.  The  shortage  of  bricklayers  and 
carpenters  is  already  affecting  the  production  of  needed  build- 
ings and  the  residential  construction  boom,  which  •;  now  well 
under  way,  in  all  probability  will  be  restricted  because  of  the 
lack  of  skilled  labor  to  complete  the  work  in  time  for  the  au- 
tumn renting  season. 

There  is  another  and  even  more  important  retardant,  how- 
ever, now  confronting  general  contractors  and  speculative 
builders  alike.  The  scarcity  of  certain  basic  building  materials 
is  already  being  felt  throughout  this  city,  and,  although  both 
dealers  and  manufacturers  are  confident  that  the  work  now 
under  way  will  be  supplied,  they  are  definite  in  their  statements 
that  the  sources  of  supply,  as  now  operating,  will  be  unable  to 
fill  the  requirements  of  the  local  industry  if  much  additional 
work  is  undertaken. 

The  growing  shortage  of  materials  has  affected  prices  and 
during  the  past  week  or  ten  days  there  has  been  a  well-define4 
trend  toward  higher  prices  on  some  materials,  while  others, 
for  which  the  demand  has  not  been  so  keen,  are  holding  their 
former  positions  in  the  price  scales  or  are  softening  to  some 
extent.  The  price  situation  is  very  uncertain  at  present  and 
as  a  consequence  contractors  are  experiencing  considerable 
difficulty  in  preparing  their  estimates,  as  they  have  to  guess 
largely  about  future  material  and  labor  costs. 

Last  week  a  very  decided  shortage  developed  in  the  supply 
of  common  brick.  There  was  none  available  in  the  wholesale 
market  and  the  yards  of  the  dealers  were  absolutely  cleaned 
out.  The  demand  was  intense,  as  the  speculative  work  in 
this  territory  is  now  at  the  season's  height,  and  builders  were 
competing  keenly  for  common  brick  to  keep  their  jobs  going. 
The  dealers,  who  had  contracted  to  deliver  in  the  aggregate 
many  millions  of  brick,  were  scouring  the  market  for  available 
brick,  and  the  dealers  in  second-hand  brick  were  very  popular 
with  the  building  community  when  they  had  anything  for  sale 
and  were  able  to  get  almost  any  prices  they  asked. 

During  the  past  week  the  demand  for  common  brick  has  been 
even  more  insistent.  There  has  been  considerable  brick  sent 
down  from  the  up-river  plants,  however,  which  has  been  allo- 
cated to  the  jobs  and  made  to  go  as  far  as  possible  so  that  prac- 
tically no  work  has  been  actually  held  up,  although  progress  on 
the  brickwork  has  been  slowed  down  to  a  considerable  extent. 
The  manufacturers  are  co-operating  to  the  limit  of  their 
abilities,  are  sending  brick  into  the  local  market  with  all 
possible  speed,  and  there  is  little  doubt  that  within  the  next 
three  weeks  at  most  the  supply  will  be  regular  and  sufficient 
to  meet  all  requirements.  The  majority  of  the  Hudson  Rivej 
brick  plants  will  have  new  brick  ready  for  shipment  before  the 
end  of  this  month,  and  just  as  soon  as  this  product  can  be 
taken  out  of  the  kilns  the  building  industry  will  be  relieved  of 
its  worries  about  the  common-brick  supply. 

As  a  result  of  the  scarcity  of  brick  the  price  has  strengthened 
and  the  market  is  very  firm  today  at  $18.00  a  thousand,  whole- 
sale, to  dealers  in  cargo  lots.  There  are  some  who  believe 
that  common-brick  prices  will  advance  during  the  coming 
months  to  the  $20-a-thousand  level  or  even  higher.  According 
to  the  best  information  The  Record  and  Guide  has  been  able 
to  obtain  this  hardly  seems  likely.  Prices  may  advance  some- 
what above  the  level  ruling  at  present  and  undoutbedly  the 
price  will  be  very  firm  throughout  the  summer,  but  there  is 
no  necessity  for  anticipating  that  brick  prices  will  advance  to 
a  prohibitive  level. 

Brick  manufacturers  feel  that  they  will  be  in  a  position  to 
supply  all  demands  for  their  product.  The  only  factors  that 
will  operate  against  an  adequate  supply  will  be  a  fuel  famine, 


brought  about  by  the  coal  strike,  or  a  strike  of  labor  in  their 
plants  for  higher  wages  than  are  being  paid  at  present.  The 
fuel  situation  is  causing  the  producers  some  worry  at  this  time, 
not  because  they  have  no  coal  at  present  but  on  account  of  the 
likelihood  of  their  being  unable  to  get  more  as  the  season  pro- 
gresses. The  majority  of  the  manufacturers  along  the  Hudson 
River  have  sufficient  fuel  for  burning  at  least  two  kilns  of  brick 
each.  This  will  be  used  up  within  the  next  few  weeks,  however, 
and  after  that  the  production  will  depend  largely  upon  the 
settlement  of  the  coal  strike. 

Brick  manufacturers  state  that  although  the  remaining  brick 
in  their  yards  is  limited  in  quantity  they  are  of  the  opinion  that 
it  will  be  sufficient  to  supply  the  now  active  jobs  until  the 
time  new  brick  can  be  taken  from  the  kilns  and  shipped  to 
the  city.  There  is  some  doubt,  however,  as  to  the  future 
supply,  and  this  will  only  be  dispelled  by  a  steady  supply  of 
fuel,  at  reasonable  prices,  and  labor,  satisfied  with  its  wages, 
in  adequate  volume  to  maintain  the  operation  of  the  plants  at 
full  capacity. 

The  coal  situation  is  also  affecting  the  production  of  Port- 
land cement,  lime  and  terra  cotta.  Manufacturers  of  these 
materials  are  confronted  with  the  possibility  of  greatly  curtail- 
nig  production  or  shutting  down  their  plants  entirely  if  the 
fuel  question  grows  more  aggravating.  The  demand  for  these 
commodities  is  steadily  growing,  along  with  that  for  brick  and 
other  basic  commodities,  and  as  a  result  prices  are  firm  and 
indicating  tendencies  toward  advances.  Last  week  the  price 
of  Portland  cement  was  increased  20  cents  per  barrel  by  local 
dealers,  and  there  is  not  much  available  at  any  price  at  present. 
A.  persistent  trade  rumor  exists  to  the  effect  that  some  or  the 
important  cement  manufacturers  have  practically  determined 
to  use  their  present  supplies  of  coal  in  the  production  of  cement 
and  then  close  down  their  plants  until  the  fuel  supply  is  as- 
sured  by   the    settlement   of    the    strike. 

Structural  steel  is  another  material  which  has  been  affected 
considerably  both  by  the  increasing  demand  the  scarcity  of 
fuel  for  manufacturing  purposes.  Steel  prices,  fabricated  and 
erected,  have  advanced  strongly  during  the  past  two  weeks. 
Only  about  two  weeks  ago  contracts  were  being  made  for  the 
supply  and  erection  of  structural  steel  at  prices  averaging  $65 
per  ton.  Today  the  average  is  from  $5  to  $7  per  ton  higher, 
and  a  prominent  steel  engineer  and  contractor  stated  openly 
that  it  is  unsafe  today  to  take  contracts  for  the  supply  and 
erection  of  structural  steel  at  any  figure  that  is  much  under 
$75  per  ton. 

Because  of  the  slowing  down  of  active  building  projects  in  the 
Metropolitan  District  on  account  of  the  difficulties  experienced 
by  builders  in  getting  adequate  supplies  of  common  brick, 
there  has  been  a  softening  in  the  prices  of  several  materials 
the  production  of  which  is  not  dependent  upon  coal  in  large 
quantities.  The  lumber  market  is  in  an  easier  position  than 
it  has  been  for  some  time  past,  with  stocks  in  excellent  shape 
and  prices  slightly  lower  on  the  average  than  they  were  only 
a  week  or  so  ago.  Building  stone  is  another  material  for  which 
prices  are  softer,  and,  although  the  demand  is  good,  dealers 
are  in  a  position  to  handle  considerably  more  business  than 
they  have  on  their  books  at  present  at  prices  attractive  to  the 
most   careful   buyers. 

Plaster  blocks  and  plaster  boards  are  also  among  the  com- 
modities for  which  prices  have  been  lowered  recently,  and 
there  is  an  easier  price  trend  all  along  the  line  in  the  com- 
modities not  affected  by  fuel  scarcity  and  prohibitive  prices. 
This  condition,  however,  is  largely  only  a  temporary  matter, 
and  if  the  building  situation  is  soon  able  to  proceed  without 
further  hindrance  by  labor  troubles  or  material  shortages  there 
is  little  doubt  that  the  prevailing  slack  in  the  prices  for  cer- 
tain materials  will  rapidly  be  taken  up  and  the  market  get  back 
to  a  sound  and  firm  basis.

ACCORDING  to  the  volume  of  new  building  and  engineer- 
ing work  now  being  planned  the  construction  industry  of 
New  York  State  and  New  Jersey,  north  of  Trenton,  will 
be  rushed  to  full  capacity  throughout  the  remainder  of  the  cur- 
rent year.  Construction  statistics,  tabulated  by  the  F.  W.  Dodge 
Company,  show  that  during  the  seventeenth  week  of  this  year 
there  were  837  new  building  and  engineering  operations  an- 
nounced in  this  territory  which  will  require  a  total  expenditure 
of  $42,272,900.  During  the  same  period  there  were  505  contracts 
awarded,  at  a  total  valuation  of  $21,736,200,  of  which  nearly  fifty 
per  cent,  was  for  residential  building  of  one  type  or  another. 

During  the  past  week  there  has  been  a  decided  jump  in  the 
volume  of  active  construction  within  the  boundaries  of  New 
York  City.  All  boroughs  have  been  effected  by  the  increased 
amount  of  work  to  be  accomplished  before  the  autumn  season 
and  contractors,  sub-contractors  and  material  manufacturers 
and  dealers  are  rushed  with  orders. 
The  new  construction  reported  by  architects  and  engineers 


for  Greater  New  York  is  well  diversified  but  naturally  residen- 
tial work  predominates.  The  report  for  the  week  of  April  22 
to  28,  inclusive,  shows  plans  under  way  for  64  business  proj- 
ects of  various  types,  $1,858,000;  7  educational  buildings,  $150,- 
000;  S  hospitals  and  institutions,  $173,000;  16  industrial  proj- 
ects. $835,500;  6  public  works  and  public  utilities,  $653,800;  2 
religious  edifices,  $70,000;  231  residential  operations  such  as 
apartments,  flats  and  tenements  and  one  and  two-family  dwell- 
ings, $12,917,000  and  6  social  and  recreational  buildings,  $2,868,- 
000. 

Among  the  operations  for  which  contracts  were  awarded  dur- 
ing the  seventeenth  week  of  1922,  scheduled  for  locations  in 
Greater  New  York,  were  42  business  projects  of  various  types, 
$1,905,500:  4  educational  buildings,  $510,000;  4  hospitals  and  in- 
stitutions, $434,900;  10  factories  and  industrial  plants,  $839,000; 
2  public  works  and  public  utilities,  $200,000;  2  religious  and 
memorial  buildings,  $65,000;  96  residential  operations,  $7,561,000 
and   4   social   and   recreational   projects,  $90,000.

RECORD    AND     GUIDE 


May  6,  1922 


CURRENT    BUILDING    OPERATIONS 


ALTHOUGH  there  is  a  developing- 
shortage  in  the  supply  of  certain 
basic  building  materials  no  construction 
is  being  actually  held  up  because  of  the 
lack  of  essential  commodities.  Both 
manufacturers  and  dealers  are  doing  their 
utmost  to  increase  the  supply  so  that  all 
active  work  will  be  taken  care  of  with- 
out undue  delay.  The  common  brick 
situation,  while  serious  in  certain  aspects, 
is  not  causing  any  delay  in  building  as 
yet  and  there  is  every  likelihood  that  all 
requirements  will  be  met  by  the  manu- 
facturers who  are  speeding  work  in  their 
plants. 

The  rush  of  active  construction  in  this 
territory  has  also  caused  some  concern 
about  the  supplies  of  lime  and  Portland 
cement,  and  while  the  local  dealers  are 
not  carrying  large  stocks  of  these  com- 
modities, there  is  said  to  be  adequate 
reserves  at  production  points.  The  coal 
strike  is  the  most  important  factor  in  the 
building  material  supply  situation  today 
and  just  as  soon  as  this  is  settled  the 
material  markets  will  be  easier,  both  as 
to   supply  and   prices. 

Common  Briok — Demand  is  extremely 
active  and  manufacturers  report  that 
their  incoming  barges  are  being  disposed 
of  immediately  upon  arrival.  The  price 
for  Hudson  River  common  brick  was 
strengthened  and  the  low  figure  is  now 
$18.00  a  thousand.  Manufacturers  are 
generally  of  the  opinion  that  there  is 
sufficient  brick  in  reserve  in  their  up- 
river  plants  to  supply  all  demands  that 
may  arise  before  the  newly  burned  brick 
is  ready  for  the  market.  Production  is 
under  way  at  present  in  particularly  all 
of  the  Hudson  River  plants  and  brick  of 
this  season's  make  will  probably  be  ready 
to  ship  within  the  next  two  weeks.  After 
the  arrival  of  the  first  shipments  of  new 
brick  the  manufacturers  state  the  supply 
will  be  regular  and  adequate. 

Sununary — Transactions  in  the  North 
River  common  brick  market  for  the  week 
ending  Thursday,  May  4,  1922.  Condi- 
tion of  market:  Demand  good;  prices  are 
sharply  advancing.  Quotations:  Hudson 
Rivers",  $18.00  to  $20.00  a  thousand  to  deal- 
ers in  cargo  lots  alongside  dock.  Number 
of  cargoes  arrived,  40;  sales,  41.  Distri- 
bution; Manhattan,  15;  Bronx,  1;  Brook- 
lyn, 18;  New  Jersey  points,  6;  Astoria,  1. 

Structural  Steel — Business  in  this  line 
has  dropped  off  to  some  extent  in  the 
local  market  during  the  past  week,  but 
there  are  indications  of  a  quick  recovery 
very  soon  as  there  is  a  large  amount  of 
new  construction  work  in  prospect. 
Recent  inquiries  are  indicative  of  an  early 


release  of  a  large  percentage  of  the  pro- 
jected building.  Shape  prices  are  firm  and 
slightly  higher  than  they  were  a  week  or 
so  ago,  and  structural  steel,  fabricated 
and  erected,  is  now  ranging  from  $6S  to 
$75  per  ton  erected  with  the  higher  quota- 
tions  more   frequent. 

Lumber — Both  wholesale  and  retail 
dealers  in  lumber  are  fairly  well  satis- 
fled  with  current  market  conditions.  The 
demand  is  quite  keen  and  shows  marked 
signs  of  increasing  steadily.  Supplies  are 
adequate  and  no  work  is  being  held  up  on 
account    of    failure    of    lumber    deliveries. 


Retail  yards  are  carrying  heavy  stocks, 
but  are  moving  them  rapidly,  and  as  a 
result  the  wholesale  demand  is  greatly 
improved.  Prices  are  very  firm  and  show 
a  slight  tendency  to  stiffen  an  advance. 

Window  Glass — Demand  is  steadily  in- 
creasing for  both  plate  and  window  glass 
and  with  the  volume  of  new  construction 
that  has  recently  been  started  there  is 
every  likelihood  that  local  jobbers  will  be 
far  busier  throughout  the  next  few 
months  than  they  have  been  for  many 
seasons  past.  At  present  local  stocks  are 
plentiful   and   there   is   little   delay   in  job

deliveries,  but  there  is  likely  to  be  a  much 
tighter  market  situation  along-  towards 
fall  when  the  mass  of  construction  now 
starting  is  nearing  the  final  stages  and 
owners  are  rushing  work  so  as  to  get 
occupancy  before  the  winter  sets  in. 
Prices  are  firm  and  unchanged. 

Cast  Iron  Pipe — A  decided  increase  in 
demand  has  been  noticeable  during  the 
past  week  or  so  and  activity  is  about 
evenly  divided  between  private  and 
municipal  business.  Plans  now  in 
progress  indicate  a  large  volume  of  new 
business    to     be    released     within    a    few 


weeks,  and  according  to  all  accounts  the 
manufacturers  will  all  have  their  plants 
in  operation  at  full  capacity  before  long 
in  order  to  keep  abreast  of  orders.  Cast 
iron  prices  are  exceedingly  firm  and  there 
is  no  immediate  prospect  of  a  break.  New

for  roofing  and  building  papers.  Dealers 
report  a  steadily  increasing  interest  in 
this  line  and  prices  are  firm  and  un- 
clianged. 

Builders'  Hardware — This  line  is  ex- 
tremely active  and  all  signs  point  to  a 
steady  ini:rease  in  the  demand  during  the 
coming  months.  The  large  program  of 
speculative  construction  is  to  a  great 
extent  responsible  for  the  growing  hard- 
ware demand,  and  all  current  signs  point 
to  a  continuation  of  this  form  of  building 
throughout  the  remainder  of  the  year. 
Prices  are  firm  and  no  changes  of  conse- 
quence   have   been   reported. 

Klectrical  Supplies — Trade  is  quite  brisk 
and  there  are  strong  indications  of  a 
steadily  increasing  demand  during  the  next 
three  or  four  months.  Wiring  supplies 
are  moving  rapidly  and  there  is  also  a 
more  lively  interest  in  specialties.  Build- 
ing activity  is  decided  on  the  increase 
throughout  the  Metropolitan  district  and 
as  a  result  the  electrical  supply  trade 
anticipates  a  steady  fiow  of  business  this 
summer.  Stocks  are  adequate  for  all  de- 
mands and  prices  are  firm  and  steady 
with  the  exception  of  rigid  iron  conduit, 
on  which  manufacturers  recently  an- 
nounced  an   increase. 

Building'  Stone — Local  dealers  in  this 
material  state  that  the  market  is  in  a 
better  position  to  supply  the  demand  than 
it  has  been  for  a  long  time  past.  There 
is  no  delay  in  getting  deliveries  on  the 
job  and  although  the  demand  is  active  and 
steadily  inereasing  the  market  is  easy. 
Michael  Cohen,  one  of  the  principal 
dealers  in  building  stone,  stated  this  week 
that  stone  prices  are  now  extremely 
favorable  and  prospective  builders  might 
well  afford  to  take  advantage  of  the 
situation.  No  radical  changes  have  been 
announced  in  the  wholesale  prices  of 
building  stone,  and  until  railroad  freight 
rates  are  lowered  the  prevailing  levels 
are  likely  to   continue. 

NaiLs — The  market  is  fairly  active  and 
all  signs  point  to  increased  demand  dur- 
ing the  remainder  of  the  year.  The  large 
program  of  speculative  construction  now 
practically  under  way  has  improved  the 
nail  situation  materially.  Prices  are  very 
firm  and  New  York  quotations  are  $3.25 
base,  per  keg,  on  wire  nails,  and  $3.90  to 
$5  base,  per  keg,  on  cut  nails. 

Linseed  Oil — The  demand  for  this  com- 
modity has  improved  during  the  past  week 
or  so  and  consequently  the  market  is  in  a 
better  position  than  it  has  been  for  some 
time.  Prices  are  very  much  firmer  than 
they  were  and  jobbers  are  hopeful  about 
the   future   for  their   line.

Developments  Promised  in  Traction  Situation 

Politics,  which  has  always  figured  prominently  in  transit 
alifairs  in  New  York  City,  is  again  evidenced  in  the  latest 
discussion  of  the  conditions  under  which  the  much-needed 
additional  facilities,  as  well  as  their  kind,  shall  be  provided. 
But  daily  it  is  growing  more  and  more  apparent  that  public 
opinion  unswayed  by  politics  is  the  dominant  factor  in  the 
jiresent  situation,  and  that  many  of  the  party  leaders  appre- 
ciate the  importance  of  conceding  this  fact. 

Probably  the  public  is  better  informed  than  ever  before 
as  to  the  financing,  building  and  operation  of  intraurban 
traffic  routes.  Certainly  much  of  the  camouflage  behind 
which  old-time  manipulators  carried  on  their  operations 
safe  from  public  scrutiny  has  been  removed.  Statements  of 
receipts,  operating  costs  and  net,  now  required  by  law,  are 
understood  in  their  original  form  by  many  people  and  can 
be,  and  are,  translated  into  colloquial  language  so  that  all 
who  care  to  know  may  clearly  comprehend  the  chief  points 
in  the  working  out  of  the  complicated  transportation  prob- 
lem. This  being  so,  it  is  comprehensible  both  that  the  pub- 
lic no  longer  can  be  fooled  as  to  its  rights  and  also  that  it 
will  weigh  carefully  plans  put  forward  to  protect  its  rights 
and  to  afford  it  the  traffic  conveniences  of  which  it  stands 
so  much  in  need. 

With  this  basis  to  go  on,  it  is  practically  assured  tliat  the 
five-cent  fare  question  has  been  removed  as  a  political  asset 
and  has  become  merely  something  that  must  continue  to  be 
the  measure  upon  which  rapid  transit  must  be  operated.  Re- 
cent financial  statements  of  Manhattan  and  Brooklyn  com- 
panies indicate  the  futility  of  further  agitation  for  increased 
fares.  There  has  been  a  period  of  time  since  transfers  were 
discarded  and  municipal  bus  service  inaugurated  long 
enough  to  enable  the  public  to  make  up  its  mind  as  to  the 
advantage  of  a  unified  transit  system  at  a  five-cent  fare  and 
the  inexpediency  of  replacing  well-equipped  and  manned 
traction  lines  with  haphazard  motor  buses,  however  use- 
ful the  latter  may  be  as  feeders  to  through  routes.  Not  only 
has  the  pulilic  had  time  to  form  an  opinion  on  many  fea- 
tures of  the  matter,  but  there  are  indications  that  it  is  await- 
ing with  interest,  and  will  examine  with  care,  the  program 
of  extension  of  present  trans]»rtation  routes,  links  between 
the  existing  lines  and  the  building  of  new  roads  which  it  is 
announcefl  will  he  made  shortly  by  the  Rapid  Transit  Com- 
mission. This  program  is  semi-officially  declared  to  include 
a  new  four-track  subway  the  full  length  of  Manhattan  on 
the  West  Side ;  the  extension  of  the  Seventh-Avenue  Sub- 
way to  the  Harlem ;  a  Brooklyn  crosstown  subway  connect- 
ing the  Queensboro  Subway  with  the  B.  R.  T.  and  I.  R.  T. 
subways  near  Prospect  street ;  a  tunnel  under  the  Narrows 
so  the  Fourth- Avenue  route  may  be  extended  into  Rich- 
mond ;  the  extension  of  the  Queensboro  route  to  Flusliing 
and  a  moving  sidewalk  under  Forty-second  street  from 
Grand  Central  Station  to  Times  Square.  The  cost  of  this 
tentative  plan  is  placed  at  $260,000,000. 

As  was  to  be  expected.  Mayor  Hylan  immediately  voiced 
his  opposition  to  the  propcsals  of  the  Commission,  although 
these  had  not  been  officially  promulgated.    Chairman  Cecrge 


McAneny  as  promptly  replied  to  Mayor  Hylan,  suggesting 
that  until  the  publication  of  the  complete  plans  he  hoped  the 
Mayor  woidd  reserve  decision  as  to  their  merits  and  pointing 
out  that  the  Mayor  already  had  fallen  into  error  and  made 
misstatements  because  not  fully  informed  as  to  the  Com- 
mission's completed  plans. 

What  Chairman  McAneny  urges  on  the  Mayor  will  be  the 
attitude  of  the  public  generally,  irrespective  of  politics. 
When  the  Commission's  program  is  published  it  will  be 
considered  thoroughly  and  if  good  will  be  accepted,  and  if 
faulty,  will  he  condemned.  The  traction  muddle  has  con- 
linued  long,  but  most  New  Yorkers  find  hope  in  recent 
developments,  ^^'hat  they  want  are  adequate  facilities,  and 
they  stand  ready  to  support  any  feasible  plan,  regardless  of 
the  source  from  which  it  emanates. 


Grave  Danger  in  Avarice  of  Labor 

Recent  developments  in  the  building  labor  situation,  not 
only  in  New  York  City  but  through  the  contiguous  terri- 
tory, makes  it  quite  apparent  that  the  building  trade  workers 
are  determined  to  proceed  with  their  policy  of  extortionate 
wage  demands.  During  the  past  week  strikes  for  higher 
wages  have  been  reported  from  several  localities  near  the 
Metropolis,  and  in  districts  where  no  active  difficulties  are 
being  encountered  it  is  only  because  a  passive  industry  has 
submitted  to  the  demands  of  the  workers  for  bonus  pay. 

The  majority  of  building  mechanics  seem  totally  oblivious 
of  the  fact  that  in  insisting  upon  their  demands  for  wages, 
frequently  more  than  fifty  per  cent,  above  their  recognized 
union  scales,  they  are  not  only  retarding  the  progress  of  the 
building  industry  but  that  their  attitude  is  clearly  prejudicial 
to  their  own  best  economic  interests.  H  these  workers  would 
take  time  to  analyze  the  situation  they  would  realize  that 
they  are  preventing  a  return  to  normal  conditions  by  holding 
up  construction  costs,  which  in  turn  are  primarily  responsible 
for  the  excessive  rentals  prevailing  today,  and  rent  .is  one 
of  the  fundamentals  in  the  economy  of  living. 

Seemingly  there  is  no  end  to  the  avarice  of  building  labor. 
Workers  in  other  of  the  nation's  leading  industries  have 
accepted  wage-scale  reductions,  in  a  number  of  instances 
returning  to  or  approximating  the  pre-war  levels.  By  so 
doing  they  have  demonstrated  their  interest  in  supporting 
a  general  business  revival  by  allowing  the  industries  in  which 
they  are  employed  to  resume  activity  at  a  semblance  of 
normal  ])rogress. 

<  )n  the  other  hand,  a  large  proportion  of  the  building 
trade  workers,  taking  an  unfair  advantage  of  the  urgent 
need  for  additional  residential  accommodations  and  the  rush 
of  the  building  revival  which  has  created  an  unprecedented 
demand  for  their  services,  not  only  have  insisted  on  ad- 
hering to  their  highly-inflated  war-time  wage  scales  but 
have  gone  further  and,  by  means  of  "snowball'  strikes, 
unauthorized  by  union  officials  and  wholly  uncalled  for 
according  to  any  reasonable  code,  have  brought  discredit 
upon  their  industry,  discouraged  builders  from  starting 
contemplated   operations   and    made   it   certain    that    high

rentals  must  be  endured,  not  only  by  themselves  but  by  the 
entire  community,  for  an  indefinite  period. 

An  attitude  of  selfish  interest,  such  as  is  now  being  dis- 
played by  some  of  the  building  trade  workers,  will  be  certain 
to  have  its  natural  reaction.    This  may  not  become  apparent

RECOGNIZING  the  steadily  growing  interest  in  home 
construction  and  ownership  and  realizing  that  the  aver- 
age prospective  homebuilder  knows  relatively  little  about 
the  fundamentals  of  site  selection,  planning,  financing,  con- 
struction and  the  other  factors  that  are  involved  in  such  an 
undertaking,  the  Young  Men's  Christian  Association  has  in- 
augurated a  course  of  study  which  it  has  called  the  "Home 
Builders'  Forum."  This  course  is  planned  to  give  to  prospective 
home  purchasers  and  builders  some  idea  of  how  to  differentiate 
good  construction  from  that  which  is  not  up  to  standard  and 
also  to  warn  them  against  some  of  the  more  common  mistakes 
that  would  under  ordinary  conditions  be  possible  through 
ignorance  of  the  pitfalls. 

The  Educational  Bureau  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  has  obtained  as 
speakers  in  this  course  men  of  high  standing  in  their  re- 
spective professions  and  trades  who  will  give  brief  outlines 
of  their  various  subjects,  stressing  the  fundamentals  of  de- 
sign, plan,  finance,  construction,  etc.,  and  then  permit  an  op- 
portunity for  the  asking  of  pertinent  questions  and  open  dis- 
cussion. This  course  was  opened  at  the  West  Side  Branch 
of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  three  weeks  ago  last  Monday  evening.  The 
opening  subject  was  upon  "Practical  Home  Ownership,"  which 
was  introduced  by  Edward  P.  Doyle  of  the  Real  Estate  Board 
of  New  York.  The  speaker  at  the  second  meeting  was  F.  P. 
Benson,  secretary  of  the  Dime  Savings  Bank  of  Brooklyn  and 
a  member  of  the  faculty  of  New  York  University,  who  had  as 
his  subject  "Selecting  a  Locality  and  a  Home  Site." 

Last  Monday  evening  W.  P.  Tienken,  of  the  editorial  staflf 
of  the  Record  and  Guide,  addressed  the  claSs  on  the  subject  of 
"Estimating  Costs  and  Securing  Bids."  This  subject  covered 
the  methods  of  determining  approximate  costs  from  preliminary 
sketches,    and    gave    a    schedule    of    cubic    foot    costs    for    the 


for  some  months  yet,  or  even  while  building  is  progressing 
at  its  prevailing  maximum  rate,  but  this  period  of  boom 
times  in  the  construction  field  will  likely  be  followed  by 
a  period  of  slackness  and  then  those  workers  who  have 
sowed  the  wind  will  reap  the  whirlwind. 

of  Study  for  Home  Builders 

various  types  of  construction  commonly  employed  in 
home  construction.  It  was  brought  out  by  Mr.  Tienken 
that  while  these  unit  costs  might  safely  be  used  as 
factors  in  arriving  at  approximate  costs  they  were  subject  to 
local  changes  in  either  direction  through  higher  or  lower  labor 
costs,  material  prices,  freight  rates,  etc.  The  latter  portion  of 
this  address  dealt  with  the  best  methods  of  securing  final  bids 
on  the  finished  plans  and  specifications,  and  warned  the  class 
about  a  number  of  problems  the  average  layman  might  be 
confronted  with  and   their  accepted  ways  of  solution. 

Mr.  Tienken  delivered  an  address  on  very  much  the  same 
subject  on  Tuesday  evening  before  a  Home  Builders'  Class 
being  formed  at  the  Central  Branch  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  in 
Brooklyn.  This  address,  however,  covered  the  subject  of 
"Home  Construction  and  Ownership"  in  a  general  way  and 
was  in  a  manner  preparatory  to  the  commencement  of  the 
proposed  course  of  study. 

The  following  experts  will  address  the  class  at  the  West 
Side  Branch  at  future  meetings:  Robert  D.  Kercheval,  of 
Henry  L.  Doherty  &  Co..,  "Financing  the  Home";  E.  H.  Howell, 
Serial  Building  Loan  &  Savings  Association,  "Buying  Property 
and  Negotiating  Loans";  John  Taylor  Boyd,  architect,  "Archi- 
tectural Planning";  George  Fowler,  engineer,  "Letting  the 
Contracts";  Henry  Atterbury  Smith,  architect,  "Selecting  the 
Materials";  Col.  H.  C.  Boyden,  of  the  Portland  Cement  Asso- 
ciation, "Foundations  and  Exterior  Walls";  Wetmore  Hodges, 
of  the  American  Radiator  Co.,  "Heating  and  Ventilating";  S. 
G.  Hibben,  Westinghouse  Electric  Company,  "Lighting  Sys-

Rusted  Metal  Work  Costly  to  Home  Owners 


THE  aggregate  annual  repair  bill  of  home-owners  in  this 
country  will  this  year  amount  to  $540,041,769  for  one  item 
alone — replacement  of  rusted  sheet  metal  work,  including 
leaders  and  gutters,  valleys  and  flashings.  This  is  the  outstanding 
fact  brought  out  by  a  survey  just  completed  by  the  Copper  &  Brass 
Research  Association. 

It  is  estimated  that  there  are  in  use  in  this  country  at  the  pres- 
ent time  5,175,000,000  feet  of  leaders  and  gutters  and  that  about 
one  billion  feet  is  renewed  annually.  The  cost  of  replacements  of 
rusted  iron  and  steel  pipe  in  plumbing  is  placed  at  $86,500,000  an- 
nually, making  a  total  annual  rust  bill  of  approximately  $626,- 
500,000. 

Of  every  dollar  spent  in  residence  construction,  36.1  cents  is 
spent  for  masonry,  29.1  cents  for  carpentry,  8.7  cents  for  heating, 
6.5  cents  for  painting,  6  cents  for  electrical  work,  6  cents  for  plumb- 


ing. 3.5  cents  for  sheet  metal  work,  2.9  cents  for  roofing  and  1.2 
cents  for  hardware.  The  survey  shows  that  the  .four  last-named 
items,  plumbing,  sheet  metal  work,  roofing  and  hardware,  are  the 
heaviest  contributors  to  the  nation's  annual  repair  bill. 

It  is  estimated  that  between  four  and  five  billion  dollars  will  be 
spent  this  year  in  new  construction,  a  large  part  of  it  residential. 
Of  this  amount  approximately  $240,000,000  will  be  spent  for  plumb- 
ing, $140,000,000  for  sheet  metal  work,  $116,000,000  for  roofing,  and 
$48,000,000  for  hardware.  It  is  in  these  items  that  the  largest  an- 
nual waste  for  repairs  and  replacements  takes  place. 

In  the  Bulletin  of  the  Copper  and  Brass  Research  Association, 
recently  made  public,  it  is  shown  that  3%  mills  more  on  the  dollar 
will  provide  brass  pipe  for  the  plumbing;  7-10  of  a  mill  more  on 
the  dollar,  copper  in  the  sheet  metal  work,  2  8-10  cents  on  the  dol- 
lar, a  copper  roof;  and  yi  oi  a  mill  more  on  the  dollar,  brass  or 
bronze    hardware. 


Production   of   Stone   in   the    United    States 


During  1921 


ABOUT  62,400,000  short  tons  of  stone  was  quarried  in  the 
United  States  in  1921,  according  to  the  United  States  Geo- 
logical Survey,  Department  of  the  Interior.  This  is  more 
than  20  per  cent  less  than  the  production  in  1920.  The  estimated 
value  of  this  stone  is  $92,500,000,  a  decrease  of  30  per  cent,  as  com- 
pared with  1920. 

Producers  all  over  the  country  stated  that  both  wages  and  prices 
had  been  reduced,  and  nearly  all  reported  a  decrease  in  the  cost  of 
production.  High  freight  rates  are  said  to  have  contributed  largely 
to  the  general  depression  in  the  industry. 

Building  stone  was  in  but  little  demand,  and  the  returns  at  hand 
indicate  a  decrease  in  output  of  about  25  per  cent.    The  output  of 


monumental  stone,  which  has  shown  practically  no  diminution  dur- 
ing the  last  five  years,  apparently  decreased  more  than  45  per 
cent.  Paving  blocks  were  in  great  demand,  and  increases  were 
shown  in  the  sales  of  curbing  and  flagging,  facts  that  indicate  a 
revival  in  street  work  in  cities  and  towns.  The  campaign  begun 
for  the  betterment  of  suburban  and  country  roads  caused  an  in- 
crease of  nearly  8  per  cent  in  the  output  of  crushed  stone.  Depres- 
sion in  the  metal  smelting  industry  was  reflected  in  a  decrease  of 
more  than  50  per  cent  in  stone  sold  for  fluxing  and  for  use  as  re- 
fractory material.  Decreases  were  noted  also  in  the  demand  for 
agricultural  limestone,  and  for  stone  used  by  alkali  works,  sugar 
refineries,  paper  mills,  and  in  other  manufacturing  establishments.

Building  Loans  on  Apartment  Projects  Being  Curtailed 

Excessive  Demands  of  Labor  Convince  Important  Lending  Institutions  Tliat  New 
Policy  Must  Be  Adopted  to  Check  Unhealthy  Development 


A  DECISION  to  radically  curtail  loans  for  apartment  house 
construction  has  been  reached  by  some  of  the  largest 
loaning  institutions  in  this  city,  according  to  information 
gathered  by  representatives  of  The  Record  and  Guide.  This 
decision,  it  is  declared  has  been  forced  by  the  attitude  of  labor. 
Responsible  officers  of  many  large  loaning  institutions  have 
reached  the  conclusion  that  more  millions  cannot  with  safety 
be  poured  into  apartment-house  projects  in  the  metropolis  so 
long  as  builders  have  to  pay  the  wages  now  demanded  by 
bricklayers,  carpenters,  plasterers  and  workmen  in  other  lines. 

An  official  of  the  Title  Guarantee  and  Trust  Company  makes 
the  statement  that  that  company  will  not  lend  another  dollar 
for  apartment-house  or  other  large  building  construction  until 
the  labor  organizations  identified  with  building  change  their 
course  and  end  the  incessant  demands  upon  builders  which 
are  adding  to  the  high  cost  of  construction.  This  decision  ap- 
plies to  all  parts  of  the  city.  The  time  has  come,  in  the  opinion 
of  this  company  and  of  other  large  lending  institutions,  when 
a  firm  stand  must  be  taken.  There  is  an  abundance  of  money 
for  building  loans,  but  many  of  the  prominent  institutions 
which  control  it  feel  that  the  demands  of  labor  have  brought 
the  building  situation  to  the  danger  point  and  that  the  only 
way  to  avoid  disaster  later  is  to  stop  the  flow  of  money  at  the 
source. 

Early  this  week  the  Title  Guarantee  and  Trust  Company  de- 
clined to  make  a  loan  of  $500,000  to  a  firm  of  Bronx  builders  on 
some  new  apartment-house  projects  because  of  the  arbitrary 
rulings  of  the  labor  organizations  that  control  the  building 
trade.  The  builders  who  sought  the  loan  are  reliable  men  and 
the  project  was  feasible  in  every  way,  but  the  lending  com- 
pany decided  against  making  the  loan.  Officials  declared  such 
a  stand  would  have  to  be  taken  sooner  or  later,  and  thai  the 
present  is  as  good  a  time  as  any  to  do  it.  The  speculative 
builders  in  many  instances  were  declared  to  be  in  sympathy 
with  the  position  taken  by  this  company. 

It  is  felt  that  while  this  new  development  in  the  situation 
will  create  hardships  and  forestall  considerable  of  the  apart- 
ment-house construction  contemplated  and  necessary  to  re- 
lieve the  housing  shortage,  yet  firm  measures  must  be  taken, 
in  order  to  bring  down  construction  costs  and  in  the  end 
bring  lower-priced  apartments.  Until  this  is  done  the  belief  in 
financial  circles  is  that  there  will  be  no  end  to  the  exactions  of 
labor. 

While  thus  far  there  has  been  no  general  agreement  to  cur- 
tail loans  by  all  of  the  big  lending  institutions,  the  trend  is  in 
that  direction.  They  are  drifting  to  a  common  understanditg  in 
the  matter.  It  is  only  by  presenting  a  firm  front  of  opposition, 
they  believe,  that  the  great  end  sought  can  be  accomplished. 
They  are  tired  of  the  harassing  delays  in  apartment-hc.use 
building  caused  by  labor. 

The  existing  labor  situation  has  caused  an  economic  condi- 
tion which  adds  so  much  to  cost  of  construction  that  the  re- 
c'-iltant  rents  per  room  demanded  are  far  beyond  the  mear^s  of 
the  average  man.  Lending  institutions  find  that  many  of  the 
new  multi-family  houses  are  not  being  rented  or  sold  as  rapidly 
as  they  should  be.  This  is  as  true  of  new  buildings  in  Bicok- 
lyn  as  it  is  of  those  in  northern  Manhattan  and  the  Bronx. 
Neither  are  two-family  houses  at  from  $14,000  to  $17,000  each  in 
Brooklyn  and  certain  parts  of  Queens  selling  as  well  as  the 
housing   shortage   would   seem    tn   dictate   thev   should.     'I'hcse 


prices  are  far  higher  for  such  buildings  than  have  prevailed 
heretofore.  The  rents  for  them  are  as  high  proportionately  as 
the  rents  of  multi-family  houses.  There  must  be  a  drop,  too, 
from  $25  and  more  per  room  per  month  for  apartments  in 
multi-family  houses  in  Brooklyn,  it  is  declared.  The  situation 
does  not  encourage  lending  institutions  to  go  further.  They 
feel  that  safety  lies  in  a  cessation  of  lending.  In  face  of  the 
prevailing  opinion  that  pre-war  rentals  will  never  be  witnessed 
again  many  lending  officials  believe  there,  must  be  a  tendency 
strongly  in  that  direction  if  the  house-construction  movement 
is  to  be  placed  on  a  healthy  basis. 

What  is  regarded  by  some  lending  institutions  as  an  un- 
healthy tendency  lies  in  the  fact  that  some  builders  are  offering 
a  month's  rent,  or  more,  free  in  order  to  fill  their  new  build- 
ings. This  is  due  to  the  fact  that  the  rentals  are  beyond  the 
means  of  the  average  apartment  tenant  and  that  the  builder, 
who  must  fill  his  house  at  prevailing  rentals,  is  driven  to  des- 
perate means  to  do  so.  In  pre-war  days  the  motive  for  ofier- 
ing  a  month's  rent,  or  more,  free  to  a  prospective  tenant  was 
different.  There  was  then  a  large  supply  of  living  space,  and 
tenants  paid  much  lower  rentals.  The  present  situation  does 
not  look  good  to  lenders  from  any  angle.  There  is  no  immedi- 
ate certainty  of  lower  labor  costs  and  the  lack  of  adherence 
to  agreements  by  union  labor  makes  the  element  of  high  cost 
variable  and  uncertain.  The  lack  of  moving  to  new  apartments 
on  May  1  was  another  untoward  sign  to  lenders. 

Labor  constitutes  85  per  cent,  of  the  cost  of  building  and  with 
labor  costs  reduced  to  those  prevailing  in  normal  times  it  is 
argued  that  structural  costs  will  come  down  and  that  lower 
rentals  within  the  means  of  the  average  man  will  follow.  The 
compensation  of  the  average  tenant  in  the  general  walks  of  life 
is  tending  downward.  Lending  institutions  now  consider  even 
$9  a  room  per  month  too  much  for  the  rank  and  file  of  apart- 
ment-house tenants.  Of  course,  they  will  have  to  pay  more 
than  that  for  a  long  time  to  come,  but  lenders  are  seeing  the 
handwriting  on  the  wall  and  are  acting  accordingly.  The 
healthy  situation  was  when  the  average  tenant  paid  one-fourth 
of  his  income  in  rent  instead  of  a  great  deal  more  than  that 
sum,  as  he  does  now. 

Randall  Salisbury,  Assistant  Secretary  of  the  Title  Guaran- 
tee and  Trust  Company,  and  identified  with  its  Building  Loan 
Department,  said:  "The  exactions  of  labor,  which  are  high- 
handed and  unreasonable  in  the  extreme,  must  be  met  firmly 
by  lending  institutions  ceasing  to  lend  on  large  construction, 
of  'which  multi-family  houses  form  a  large  part.  Exce.csive 
labor  costs  are  discouraging  building  loans  absolutely.  Even 
the  builders  feel  that  the  position  of  the  lending  institutions 
now  is  the  correct  one.  Only  this  week  we  declined  to  lend 
$500,000  on  an  apartment  house  operation  that  was  perfectly 
good  and  feasible  according  to  present  standards.  We  must 
stop  until  union  labor  comes  to  its  senses.  The  dead  line  has 
been  reached.  Beyond  it  we  will  not  go.  All  lending  bodies 
are  feeling  the  same  way  to  a  great  extent,  and  the  feeling  is 
generally  crystallizing  into  action,  as  it  has  with  us.  If  the 
wherewithal  is  not  forthcoming  labor  will  be  made  to  realize 
its  uneconomic  attitude  in  the  premises.  It  certainly,  so  far 
has   defied  all  appeals  to  reason  and  common  sense." 

John  J.  PuUeyn,  President  of  the  Emigrant  Industrial 
Savings  Bank,  said :  "All  lending  institutions  have  become

New  Angles  of  Landlord-Tenant  Disputes  Come  Up  in  Court 

Co-operative  Owners  of  Heiidrik  Hudson  Lose  to  Tenants,  While  Anotlier  Litigant 
Ls  Refused  Elevator  Apartment  at  Walk-Up  Rate 


THE  first  landlord-and-tenant  case  involving  the  fixing  of 
rentals  on  a  basis  of  8  per  cent,  on  the  assessed  valuation 
of  the  property  has  recently  been  decided  in  the  Munic- 
ipal Court,  7th  District,  by  Justice  Davies,  in  the  matter  of 
the  Hendrik  Hudson  Apartments,  Inc.,  against  Williams,  Alger, 
Follett,  Toplitz,  Altmayer,  Tennant  and  Bunzel,  tenants.  A 
peculiar  feature  of  this  case  is  that  the  plaintiffs  include  the 
co-operative  owners  of  the  apartment  house,  occupying  a  por- 
tion of  the  building,  while  the  defendants  are  other  tenants 
paying  rent  to  the  co-operative  tenant  owners.  Litigation  was 
started  nearly  two  years  ago  by  tenants  who  objected  to  in- 
creases in  rentals  made  by  the  corporation,  as  being  exorbitant, 
these  increases  running  in  some  instance  from  SO  to  90  per  cent, 
over  the  rentals  they  had  been  paying  before  the  co-operative 
ownership  plan  was  entered  into.  Jacob  Walz,  attorney  for  the 
defendants,  claimed  that  his  clients  had  been  discriminated 
against  in  fi.xing  the  new  rentals  to  the  advantage  of  the  co- 
operative .tenants,  the  greater  income  thus  derived  from  the 
"outsiders"  acting  to  reduce  the  rentals  of  the  "insiders." 
Justive  Davies  found  for  the  defendants,  following  the  decision 
of  Justice  Greenbaum  in  the  Appellate  Division,  First  Depart- 
ment, fixing  an  8  per  cent,  return  on  a  fair  valuation  of  the 
property,  unencumbered  by  mortgages,  and  after  deduction  of 
expenses,  as  a  "reasonable  rental."  Although  Stotesbury  and 
Miner,  counsel  for  the  co-operative  owners,  filed  a  bill  of 
particulars  in  support  of  a  higher  valuation.  Justice  Davies  held 
the  assessed  value  of  the  property  to  be  the  basis  upon  which 
the  rentals  should  be  computed.  In  his  opinion  the  Justice 
says  : 

"The  landlord  is  the  owner  of  the  large  apartment  house  known  as  the 
Hendrik  Hudson,  situated  on  the  north  side  of  110th  Street,  the  east  side 
of  Riverside  Drive,  and  the  south  side  of  111th  Street,  and  brings  these 
actions  against  these  tenants  under  the  housing  laws  for  the  fixing  of  a 
fair  and  reasonable  rental.  The  apartment  house  is  a  large  eight-story 
building  erected  about  1906,  and  is  of  the  almost  modern  class  of  River- 
side Drive  elevator  apartment  houses,  and  is  splendidly  situated,  both 
from  a  transit  and  livable  standpoint.  At  the  time  of  its  erection  It 
was  noted,  but  since  then  it  has  had  financially  somewhat  of  a  checkered 
career,  and  it  has  at  last  come  under  the  ownership  of  this  plaintiff, 
the  stockholders  of  which  are  mainly,  if  not  entirely,  tenants  in  the 
building. 

"After  a  trial  which  lasted  a  whole  court  day  and  in  which  all  of  the 
elements  were  carefully  considered  by  testimony  developed  by  the  owner 
and  by  various  counsel  representing  the  nine  tenants  in  litigation  herein, 
the  issues  were  submitted  to  the  court,  and  since  the  trial  the  Justice 
presiding  has  specially  made  a  visit  to  the  apartment  house  for  the 
purpose  of  making  some  personal  notes  as  to  the  condition  of  the  struc- 
ture generally.  After  careful  consideration  of  all  of  the  testimony,  I 
make  the  following  findings  : 

"In  my  opinion,  the  landlord  failed  to  overcome  the  legal  presump- 
tion, and  the  assessed  valuation  of  .$1,150,000  is  fixed  as  the  basis  value 
herein.      The    eight  per   cent    allowance    upon    that    is    $02,000. 

"As  to  the  operating  expenses,  upon  the  trial  very  little  issue  was 
made,  and  it  was  conceded  that  .$1,710  be  eliminated,  and  with  this  reduc- 
tion the  operating  expenses  are  therefore  placed  at  $47,037.63.  The  de- 
preciation in  a  building  such  as  this  I  fix  at  one  per  cent  of  the 
assessed  value  of  the  building,  and  that  is  .$6,400.  The  city  taxes 
amount  to  $31.85,5.  The  total  annual  carrying  charge  of  these  premises 
is  therefore  .$177,292.  Under  the  law  of  this  Department,  as  established 
by  the  Appellate  Division  in  the  case  of  Hall  vs.  Moos,  each  tenant  is 
called  upon  to  bear  his  fair  share.  The  Court  has  taken  testimony  as 
to  the  numbpf  of  rooms  and  location  of  each  of  the  nine  groups  into 
which    each    floor   is   divided,    having   in    mind    the   number  of    rooms    the 


location  with  reference  to  the  sunshine  and  view,  the  size,  and  general 
comfort  of  each  of  the  rooms,  as  well  as  a  further  suDdivision  of  each 
of  the  groups  into  the  relative  comfort  and  enjoyment  as  to  floors." 

Justice  Davies  fixed  the  percentage  of  total  rentals  to  be  paid 
by  each  class  of  apartments  in  the  building  at  from  7  per  cent, 
for  six  rooms  to  15  per  cent,  for  eight  rooms,  according  to  loca- 
tion, taking  into  consideration  sunlight,  view  and  air,  and  making 
higher  awards  for  upper  floors  than  for  the  lower  ones.  The 
decision    will   be    appealed   to   the   Appellate   Division. 

Another  landlord-and-tenant  case  of  interest  to  many  was 
recently  decided  in  the  Municipal  Court,  7th  District,  by  Jus- 
tice John  Hetherington,  in  which  the  court  had  to  decide 
whether  a  tenant  might  invoke  the  aid  of  the  Emergency  Rent 
Laws  to  provide  him  with  a  home  in  an  elevator  apartment 
house  at  the  prevailing  price  of  a  home  in  a  walk-up  apart- 
ment, for  the  greater  cotivenience  of  his  wife.  The  case  was 
that  of  A.  P.  W.  Kinnan,  executor  of  the  estate  of  Marshall  P. 
Wilder,  landlord,  against  .Albert  Grossman,  tenant.  Leary  & 
Somers  appeared  for  the  plaintiff  and  Harold  Budner  for 
the  defendant.    Justice  Hetherington's  opinion  follows  : 

"Upon  the  facts  it  appears  that  the  tenant  was  in  possession  of  a 
comfortable  dwelling  apartment  at  a  monthly  rental  of  $75.  He  was  a 
married  man  and  lived  therein  with  his  wife.  Indications  of  the  realiza- 
tion of  his  hopes  of  posterity,  incited  him  to  consider  the  inconvenience 
to  his  wife  in  the  use  of  the  stairs  as  a  means  of  access  to  the  apart- 
ment and  the  easier  mode  of  an  elevator,  hence  he  cast  about  him  for  a 
so-called  'elevator'  apartment  and  found  the  property  of  the  landlord 
here.  Inquiry  disclosed  that  an  apartment  at  $60  per  month  was  avail- 
able, but  it  did  not  suit  him.  He  asked  if  a  better  were  available  and 
was  shown  the  one  he  now  occupies.  Concerning  its  rental  he  was  told 
it  would  be  $100  monthly.  He  asked  if  it  would  be  renovated  and  the 
reply  was  made  that  it  would  be  if  he  entered  into  a  lease  of  it  for  a 
term.  To  this  he  agreed,  the  lease  in  question  here  was  prepared  and 
executed ;  the  landlord  at  a  considerable  expense  renovated  the  apart- 
ment to  suit  the  taste  of  the  tenant  and  the  tenant  entered  into  pos- 
session and  paid  one  month's  rent,  but  refused  to  pay  thereafter  at 
the  rate  agreed. 

"Furthermore  that  the  apartment  which  he  vacated  was  available 
to  him  as  long  as  he  chose  to  remain,  its  rent  was  less  than  that  of  the 
one  he  leased  from  the  landlord  here,  that  he  was  under  no  notice  to 
quit,  and  save  for  the  fact  that  his  former  domicile  had  no  elevator  to 
carry  his  wife  up  and  down,  it  was  quite  comfortable.  That  he  gave 
it   up  voluntarily. 

"Under  these  circumstances,  this  tenant,  an  educated  business  man, 
entering  into  a  written  lease  of  an  apartment  after  driving  a  shrewd 
bargain  as  to  its  renovation  and  rental,  now  claims  he  did  so  under 
duress.  His  counsel  urges  and  cites  authorities  to  the  effect  that  the 
defence  of  'unreasonableness  in  rental  and  duress'  are  available  to 
every  tenant,  under  the  provisions  of  the  rent  laws,  and  that  he  cannot 
be  estopped  nor  precluded  from  its  interposition.  No  one  questions  this, 
but  it  is  one  thing  to  interpose  a  defence  and  another  to  establish  it. 
The  cause  was  tried  precisely  upon  this  issue. 

"While  a  general  emergency  may  exist  (and  undoubtedly  does)  from 
the  inability  of  tenants  to  procure  dwellings,  it  affects  the  public  col- 
lectively, not  always  indvidually.  In  the  case  at  bar  it  affected  the 
tenant  not  at  all.  Common  sense  must  be  reckoned  with  in  consider- 
ation of  these  cases  and  only  where  it  is  established  that  the  emergency 
affected  the  tenant  and  that  such  emergency  forced  him  into  the  agree- 
ment can  it  be  held  to  have  been  established.  No  other  conclusion  can 
in  justice  be  arrived  at.  The  emergency  recognized  by  the  legislature  Is 
an  emergency  that  takes  away  homes  and  shelter  from  the  populace ; 
no  such  emergency  confronted  the  tenant  here.  He  simply  desired  for 
his  wife  the  luxury  of  an  elevator  apartment.  Mothers  have  survived 
childbirth  and  reared  excellent  offspring  for  centuries  before  elevators 
were  thought  of  and,  if  he  desired  the  luxury,  he  should  be  held  to  pay 
for  it..  As  well  say  that  a  passenger  on  a  railroad,  failing  to  find  satis- 
factory seats  for  himself  and  wife  in  day  coach,  could  demand  seats  in 
the   parlor   car   without    paying   the   additional   cost   thereof." 

The   motion  was  denied  by  Justice  Hetherington. 


Building  Loans  on  Apartment  Projects  Being  Curtailed 


(Continued  from  page  583) 
fearful  regarding  the  apartment-house  situation.  With  the 
general  compensation  for  mercantile  and  other  non-union  labor 
going  down  (this  is  to  say,  for  the  vast  majority  of  humans), 
how  can  the  excessive  prevailing  rentals  for  living  spaces  be 
maintained?  With  the  average  life  insurance  policy  only  $1,500 
and  the  average  savings  bank  account  less  than  $1,000,  the  ex- 
travagance of  present  rental  standards  is  obvious.  Not  onlj' 
must  union  labor  come  down  in  cost,  but  all  commodities  that 
enter  into  comfortable  living  must  come  down,  such  as  clothing, 
food  and  building  material.  The  only  logical  argument  the 
union  man  has  is  that  he  is  paying  more  to  live  than  formerly. 
Well,  so  is  every  man  who  does  not  belong  to  a  union,  and 
they  form  the  major  part  of  the  nation.    There  is  no  gainsaying 


the  fact  that  prevailing  rentals  for  the  average  inan  are  way 
over  his  head  and  he  is  drowning  economically  in  order  to  pay 
them.  How  can  a  fellow  hold  out  forever  with  rocks  tied  to 
him? 

"Lending  institutions  may  not  be  able  to  force  down  the 
prices  of  general  living  commodities,  but  they  will  have  some- 
thing to  say  and  do  about  the  excessive  cost  of  home  building. 
The  bulk  of  construction  cost  is  labor  and  to  that  extent  it 
adds  much  to  high  rentals.  Borrowers  naturally  expect  to  bor- 
row money  in  proportion  to  present  costs.  This  cannot  be.  We 
are  handling  other  people's  money  and  we  are  playing  safe. 
Anartment  rentals  must  become  lower  if  income  properties  are 
to  continue  to  be  stable  investments.  War  prices  cannot  for- 
ever obtain   either   for  labor  or  for  living  space."

Handsome  Structure,  Being  Erected  by

OLD  buildings,  occupying  the  block  front  on  the  north  side 
of  Thirty-sixth  street  from  Broadway  to  Sixth  avenue, 
are  being  demolished  to  permit  the  construction  of  a 
handsome  new  banking  building  for  the  Greenwich  Savings 
Bank.  This  structure,  which  will  be  an  architectural  master- 
piece and  one  of  the  finest  banks  in  New  York  City,  will  occupy 
a  plot  with  a  frontage  of  106  feet  on  Broadway,  the  whole  block 
front  of  136  feet  on  Thirty-sixth  street  and   100  feet  on  Sixth

The  officers'  platform  is  on  a  mezzanine  over  the  Broadway 
entrance,  separated  only  by  columns  from  the  banking  room, 
which  it  overlooks.  The  president's  room  occupies  the  Broad- 
way-Thirty-sixth  street  corner  on  this  floor. 

At  the  roof  level  there  will  be  a  kitchen,  dining-room  for  of-

avenue.  The  building  will  be  erected  under  a  general  contract 
awarded  to  Marc  Eidlitz  &  Son,  Inc.,  builders,  according  to 
plans  and  designs  prepared  by  York  &  Sawyer,  architects. 

Designed  exclusively  for  the  use  of  the  Greenwich  Savings 
Bank,  the  new  building  will  be  constructed  of  stone,  80  feet 
high,  its  three  sides  enriched  by  Corinthian  columns,  which 
will  form  projecting  porticos  on  Broadway  and  on  Sixth  ave- 
nue. The  columns  themselves  will  be  of  solid  stone,  nearly  five 
feet  in  diameter  and  40  feet  high. 

Entrances  on  Broadway  and  on  Si.xth  avenue  will  admit  de- 
positors to  an  elliptical  banking  room,  87  feet  wide  and  120 
feet  in  length.  This  room  will  have  a  clear  height  to  the  sky- 
light in  the  domed  ceiling  of  72  feet.  The  interior  columns  .it 
the  ends  of  this  room  will  be  32  feet   in  height. 

The  working  space  in  the  center  of  the  main  banking  room 
will  be  more  than  twice  as  large  as  the  working  space  in  th<' 
present  building  at  the  corner  of  Sixth  avenue  and  Sixteenth 
street.  Wide  stairways  lead  down  from  the  vestibule  of  the 
Broadway  entrance  into  the  basement,  where  provision  is  made 
for   the   installation   of  a   safe  deposit  company,   if  this  proves 


ing  over  night.  A  certain  amount  of  space  is  availabfe  for  exer. 
cise,  both  indoors  and  on  the  flat  roof  of  the  building. 

In  designing  this  new  banking  building  the  committee  of 
the  bank  has  required  of  York  &  Sawyer,  the  architects,  that 
everything  shall  be  provided  which  can  be  foreseen  to  make 
this  structure  so  adequate  and  so  elastic  that  it  may  prove  to  be 
for  many  years  to  come  a  home  for  this  institution. 

The  Greenwich  Savings  Bank  is  the  third  oldest  savings 
bank  in  Manhattan.  It  was  organized  in  1833,  fourteen  years 
after  the  Bank  for  Savings  and  six  years  after  the  Seaman's 
Bank  for  Savings.  The  trustees  of  this  institution  have  always 
been  men  identified  with  the  large  interests  of  the  city,  par- 
ticularly in  the  old  parts  of  New  York — the  old  Ninth  Ward  or 
Greenwich   section. 

The  bank  was  opened  for  business  in  May,  1833,  at  10  Car- 
mine street.  In  1839  it  moved  to  11  Sixth  avenue,  and  it  has 
occupied  its  building  at  the  corner  of  Sixteenth  street  and 
Sixth  avenue  since  1892.  The  new  building  at  Thirty-rixth 
street,  Broadway  and  Sixth  avenue,  therefore,  is  the  third  loca-

Review  of  Real   Estate   Market  for  the  Current  Week 


A  Fifth  Avenue  Corner  for  Improvement 

the  Features  of  a  Mai 

THERE  was  a  falling  off  in  large  transactions  in  real 
estate  this  week  as  compared  with  the  week  before,  but. 
there  was  nevertheless  a  good  volume  of  dealing  that  was 
widely  distributed.  Five  old  dwellings  that  comprise  an  upper 
Madison  avenue  corner  were  bought  as  a  site  for  reimprove- 
ment  with  a  large  elevator  apartment  house  and  there  were 
other  minor  sales  in  this  avenue.  Lexington  avenue,  which  for 
many  weeks  has  been  a  theatre  of  good  dealing,  contributed 
more  deals  to  the  market.  An  ancient  block  front  on  Avenue  A 
was  sold  by  the  estate  of  William  Waldorf  Astor  to  a  well- 
known  operator,  ."^stor  sales  are  now  common,  whereas  they 
were  formerly  infrequent.  In  years  past  the  sale  of  an  ordinary 
Astor  holding  was  worthy  of  bold  type,  whereas  now  sales 
by  this  estate  are  more  or  less  anticipated.  In  strong  contrast 
with  the  policy  of  the  Astor  estate  is  that  of  the  Wendel  es- 
tate which  continues  to  hold  fast  to  its  realty  in  spite  of  the 
changed  attitude  of  the  law  toward  large  property  owners. 
Another  Riverside  Drive  dwelling  passed  into  new  hands  during 
the  week,  as  did  some  West  End  avenue  parcels. 

.An  unusual  trade  was  that  of  a  Washington  Heights  elevator 
apartment   house   for  a  lower  East  Side   tenement   house  with 


and  Other  Choice  Corner  Parcels  Were 
ket  Well  Diversified 

stores.  A  lower  Sixth  avenue  corner  was  taken  by  an  opera- 
tor, while  a  Sixth  avenue  parcel  near  Herald  Square  passed 
into  the  hands  of  the  tenant.  A  large  apartment  house  on  a 
Lexington  avenue  corner  was  sold.  A  site  for  a  large  garage 
was  bought  in  the  Dyckman  section.  Probably  the  bon  ton 
sale  of  the  week  was  a  corner  of  Fifth  avenue  and  61st  street, 
for  improvement  with  a  costly  private  house.  Chinatown  con- 
tributed a  parcel  and  the  Chinese  mercantile  firm  that  occupies 
it  bought  it.  Various  parcels  on  East  Side  avenues  passed  to 
new  ownership.  An  old  family  holding  at  Seventh  avenue  and 
23d  street,  whose  ownership  harked  back  to  the  era  when  West 
23d  street  was  a  choice  residential  thoroughfare,  was  bought 
for  remodeling.  A  costly  dwelling  in  Harlem  and  some  in  the 
Fifth  avenue  section  were  bought.  In  Harlem  generally  old 
apartment  houses  and  dwellings  comprised  the  bulk  of  the 
dealing.  Numerous  American  basement  dwellings  in  good 
residential  parts  of  the  city  were  in  strong  demand.  Marble 
Hill,  at  the  northern  outpost  of  Manhattan,  was  a  factor  in  the 
market.  Robert  E.  Simon  again  operated  in  Lexington  avenue 
corner  property.  The  activity  in  this  avenue  is  marked.  The 
diversity  of   the   dealing  was   the   prime   feature   of  the   week.

Queens    Citizens   to   Hear  Governor 

Governor  Nathan  L.  Miller  will  be  the  guest 
of  the  Queensboro  Chamber  of  Commerce  and 
address  its  members  at  their  spring  luncheon 
meeting  to  be  held  Thursday,  May  18,  in  the 
Grand  Ballroom  of  the  Hotel  Commodore. 

Although  the  subject  of  Governor  Miller's 
speech  has  not  been  announced,  it  is  under- 
stood that  he  will  discuss  the  traction  situa- 
tion  in   New  York  City. 

William  H.  Johns,  president  of  the  Queens- 
boro Chamber  of  Commerce,  said ;  "We  expect 
that  this  meeting  will  be  one  of  the  largest 
gatherings  of  the  business  men  and  residents 
of  Queens  Borough  ever  held,  as  reservations 
have  already  been  received  for  more  than  500 
places." 


Large    Loft    Building    Sold 

Byrne  &  Bowman  sold  for  the  Colony  Con- 
struction Co.,  Robert  P.  Zobel  president,  to 
Levy  Bros,  Brooklyn  builders  and  operators, 
the  Colony  Arcade,  a  12-sty  mercantile  build- 
ing, (il.9xl97.6x4U,  at  62  to  67  West  38th  st, 
extending  through  to  02  West  39th  st.  The 
building  is  devoted  entirely  to  the  millinery 
trade.  Among  the  tenants  are  Morris  Goldzier, 
Rosen  Bros,  &  Sussman,  L.  &  L.  Bandeau  Co., 
Inc.,  and  others.  The  property  produces  a 
rental  of  about  .$150,000  a  year.  It  was  held 
at  .'Pl.250.000  and  was  sold  on  a  cash  basis. 

The  sellers  assembled  the  plot  in  1913  and 
subsequently  erected  the  present  building  on 
the  lot  and  have  held  it  as  an  investment  since 
that  time.  This  is  the  first  large  operation  by 
the  purchasers  in  the  mldtown  section,  they 
having  been  previously  engaged  in  extensive 
building  and  lot  operations  in  Brooklyn.  They 
have  erected  four  large  theaters  in  that  bor- 
ough, which  they  still  control. 


across  the  street  from  the  property  sold  about 
two  years  ago  to  the  Hearth  &  Homes  Co. 
which  has  been  renovated.  On  the  south  side 
of  the  property  sold,  being  the  northwest  cor- 
ner of  West  Houston  and  Macdougal  sts,  a  plot 
100x120,  was  sold  to  a  corporation  headed  by 
Humbert  Fugazy.  It  is  now  being  improved 
with  a  motion  picture  theatre,  under  the  direc- 
tion and  plans  ot  Reilly  &  Hall,  architects.  The 
cost  of  the  structure  will  be  about  $250,000, 
and  it  is  to  have  a  seating  compacity  ot  about 
2,000.  The  theatre  is  to  be  ready  in  October. 
The  property  sold  originally  belonged  to 
Nicholas  N.  Low,  and  it  was  purchased  by  him 
in  1796,  at  which  time  he  was  one  of  America's 
foremost  tea   merchants.

Banking  to  Individual  Needs 

A  GREAT  institution  like  this,  orgranized  to  offer  so  many  services  to  the 
public,   must  of   necessity   function  with    the   precision   of  a   Bne  machine. 

Vet  what  has  made  us  one  of  the  strongest  trust  compeuiies  in  the  City  is  not 
so  much  the  modem  machinery,  but  rather  that  we  have  found  the  way  to 
subordinate   the   mechanics    of    banking    to   the   individual    needs   of    depositors. 

If  the  collective  experience  and  advice  of  the  officers  of  that  kind  of  a  trust 
company  would  benefit  you  in  your  individual  business,  then — 

Von  are  cordially  invited  to  consult

BUILDING     SECTION 


Building  in  Metropolitan  Area  Hampered  by  Labor  Troubles 

Growing  Shortage  of  Bricklayers,  Plasterers  and  Cai^penters,  Plus  Demands  for 
Bonus  Wages,  Disheartening  to  Entire  Construction  Industry 

In  several  counties  along  the  Hudson  River  bricklayers 
threaten  to  strike  for  higher  wages.  The  spring  building  pro- 
gram is  much  greater  than  was  anticipated  and  labor,  therefore, 
feels  that  a  premium  should  be  paid  for  its  services  if  this 
work  is  to  be  completed  at  the  time  set. 

Hudson  County,  in  New  Jersey,  is  in  a  bad  way  for  brick- 
layers. Contractors  who  specialize  on  projects  in  that  district 
have  had  their  scouts  out  everywhere  in  an  endeavor  to  lure 
workers  to  their  own  jobs.  The  pay  of  skilled  bricklayers  is 
from  $10  to  $11  a  day,  and  the  shortage  is  felt  in  Jersey  City 
and  almost  every  part  of  Hudson  County,  where  a  boom  in 
building  construction  is  in  progress,  or  would  be  if  there  were 
sufficient  men  to  do  the  work  in  prospect. 

It  has  been  reported  from  Trenton  that  bricklayers  and  plas- 
terers are  out  on  strike  for  an  increase  of  wages  and  that  con- 
siderable construction  is  being  held  up  pending  a  settlement 
of  this  difficulty.  These  trades  have  been  working  under  a 
scale  of  $9  per  day  and  are  demanding  $10  because  of  the 
large  amount  of  work  in  prospect  and  the  keen  competition  for 
skilled  workers.  The  contractors  of  Trenton  have  made  a  com- 
promise ofifer  of  $9.50  per  day,  but  as  yet  no  reply  has  come 
from  the  unions. 

Builders  in  Newark  are  also  facing  higher  construction  costs 
through  wage  advances  in  certain  trades.  Following  recent 
conferences  with  the  Ironworkers'  Union  and  the  Masons' 
Laborers'  Union,  the  General  Contractors'  Association  an- 
nounced that  a  new  scale  of  wages  became  effective  on  May  1 
An  increase  of  $1  per  day  has  been  granted  the  ironworkers, 
increasing  their  pay  from  $8  to  $9  a  day,  with  the  understanding 
that  the  former  feature  of  compulsory  employment  of  foremen 
is  to  be  eliminated.  The  masons'  laborers  were  granted  an  in- 
crease of  three  cents  an  hour,  bringing  their  hourly  scale  from 
IZ  cents  to  75  cents. 

A  strike  of  the  plumbers  in  Elizabeth  has  stopped  work  on  a 
number  of  important  construction  projects  in  that  city  and 
there  is  every  indication  that  the  trouble  will  spread.  As  a 
result  of  the  action  of  the  plumbers,  other  trades  have  been 
affected,  and  it  is  reported  that  about  fifty  union  lathers,  car- 
penters, electricians  and  their  helpers  were  taken  off  the  jobs 
when  non-union  plumbers,  sheet-metal  workers  and  their 
helpers  were  put  to  work  by  the  members  of  the  Master 
Plumbers'  Association.  The  plumbing  contractors  are  bring- 
ing in  non-union  workmen  in  order  to  break  the  strike  in  their 
trade,  but  their  action  is  likely  to  influence  sympathetic  strikes 
and  there  is  a  possibility  that  a  large  amount  of  residential  and 
commercial  construction  in  Elizabeth,  Roselle,  Elmora.  and 
other  nearby  sections  will  be  retarded.  The  difficulties  in  the 
Elizabeth  district  are  largely  attributed  to  intra-union  problems 
and  it  is  anticipated  will  soon  be  settled. 

In  that  section  of  New  Jersey  which  lies  along  the  line  of  the 
Delaware,  Lackawanna  &  Western  Railroad,  between  South 
Orange  and  Morristown,  there  is  a  decided  shortage  of  work- 
men in  some  trades.  This  applies  particularly  to  bricklayers, 
plasterers  and  carpenters,  but  other  trades  arc  also  complain- 
ing of  a  growing  difficulty  in  obtaining  skilled  men  at  reason- 
al)lc  wages.  Practically  all  bricklayers  are  demanding  a  ijonus 
over  their  recognized  rates,  and  a  mason  insists  upon  at  least 
$17  a  day  on  short  jobs,  .'\lthough  no  construction  is  yet  being 
held  up  on  labor's  account,  progress  is  impeded  and  there  will 
be  serious  delays  unless  the  situation  improves. 


NO  improvement  was  manifest  this  week  in  the  local 
building  labor  situation.  Despite  the  fact  that  there 
have  been  frequent  conferences  between  representatives 
of  the  unions  and  the  Employers'  Association,  in  addition  to 
•determined  effort  on  the  part  of  the  Public  Group  Committee 
toward  settling  the  differences  between  the  two  important  fac- 
tions, the  construction  industry  of  New  York  City  is  no  nearer 
an  agreement  for  the  remainder  of  the  current  year  than  it  was 
last  January.  Negotiations  are  still  in  progress  and  the  vari- 
ous trades  are  seeking  to  formulate  independent  agreements 
with  their  respective  trade  unions,  but  as  yet  no  definite  re- 
sults have  been  accomplished  and  the  only  ray  of  hope  lies  in 
the  fact  that  the  industry  is  maintaining  its  optimistic  attitude 
toward  the  possibility  of  a  solution  of  the  problem  in  the  near 
future. 

There  is  a  grave  shortage  of  mechanics  in  certain  trades  in 
the  New  York  territory,  and  considerable  new  construction, 
while  not  actually  at  a  standstill,  is  slowed  down  to  a  dangerous 
point  on  this  account.  Bricklayers  are  exceedingly  difficult  to 
obtain  in  adequate  numbers  and  are  only  held  on  the  jobs  by 
payments  of  bonus  wages,  in  frequent  instances  excessive!}' 
high.  The  demand  for  carpenters  is  also  growing,  and  as  a 
result  many  contractors  are  complaining  of  the  lack  of  skilled 
mechanics  and  hesitate  to  take  on  additional  work  because  of 
the  high  wages  being  demanded. 

Throughout  New  York  City  and  contiguous  territory,  con- 
struction projects  are  barely  60  per  cent  manned  with  brick- 
layers. On  a  large  number  of  jobs,  where  from  ten  to  twenty- 
five  bricklayers  would  be  employed  under  normal  labor  condi- 
tions, the  number  of  mechanics  actually  at  work  ranges  from 
three  to  ten.  The  speculative  building  program,  which  includes 
the  major  portion  of  the  housing  construction  now  in  progress, 
is  suffering  particidarly  because  of  the  labor  crisis,  and  these 
builders  arc  not  only  v\'itnessing  serious  delays  on  their  opera- 
tions, but  are  facing  constantly  mounting  construction  costs 
because  of  the  extortionate  bonuses  these  workers  are  demand- 
ing and  getting.  The  daily  newspapers  carry  many  advertise- 
ments for  bricklayers  and  carpenters,  practically  all  of  whom 
are  promised  extended  employment  at  wages,  in  many  instances, 
as  high  as  forty  per  cent,  above  the  recognized  union  scale  for 
those  trades. 

"Snowballing"  strikes  continue  in  Queens  and  the  cost  of 
brickwork  on  buildings  in  that  borough,  particularly  on  projects 
on  which  construction  is  too  far  advanced  to  abandon,  is  in- 
creased approximately  twenty  per  cent,  because  of  the  demands 
of  labor.  Construction  in  the  outskirts  of  Brooklyn  and  in  the 
Bronx  is  being  delayed,  and  in  a  number  of  cases  held  in  in- 
definite abeyance,  for  like  reasons.  Public  school  construction 
in  all  sections  of  the  city  is  suffering  greatly  on  account  of 
the  conditions,  and  all  active  building,  including  practically 
every  type  of  construction,  is  dropping  behind  in  its  schedule, 
while  labor's  demands  increase  and  competition  for  skilled 
mechanics  grows  more   prevalent. 

There  is  a  great  deal  of  labor  unrest  throughout  the  local 
building  industry.  The  conditions  at  present  so  adversely  af- 
fecting the  industry  in  New  York  City  are  spreading  in  a  con- 
stantly widening  circle,  and  outlying  suburban  commvmities 
are  also  being  hampered  in  their  building  programs  because  of 
lack  of  adequate  labor  and  inflated  wage  scales.

Foundations  Started  for  Large  Apartment  at  Kew  Gardens 

Multi-Family  Dwelling  to  House  One   Hundred  and  Five  Families  Planned  by 

Shampan  &  Shampan  Will  Cost  $650,000 

FOUNDATIONS  have  been  started  for 
two  large  multi-family  houses  at  Kew 
Gardens,  L.  I.,  one  of  the  most  highly 
developed  and  exclusive  residential  commu- 
nities in  the  Borough  of  Queens.  These  apart- 
ments, which  are  of  the  garden  type  now  so 
generally  favored  in  suburban  sections,  will 
provide  for  one  hundred  and  five  families  in 
suites  of  two,  three,  four  and  six  rooms. 

The   operation   is   progressing   under   the   di- 
rection   of    the    Roanoke    Construction    Com- 
pany,   owner     and     builder,     from     plans     and 
specifications       prepared       by       Shampan       & 
Shampan,  prominent  Brooklyn   architects.  The 
cost    of    construction,    including    the    value    of 
the   land,   is   placed  at   approximately  $650,000. 
These    apartments    occupy   a   plot   averaging 
190x150    feet    which    was    recently    purchased 
from    the    Kew    Gardens    Corporation    by    the 
Roanoke       Construction       Company       through 
Edgeworth    Smith,    Inc.,   who    have    also    been 
appointed    renting    and    managing    agents    for 
the  buildings.     The   buildings   are   located  just 
of?  of  the  Queensboro  Boulevard,  on  the  Uiion 
Turnpike   and  Austin   street.     They  are   about 
five  minutes'  walk   from  the  Kew  Garden  sta- 
tion of  the  Long  Island  Railroad,  which  is  but 
seventeen  minutes  from  the  Pennsylvania  Station,  Manhattan, 
and   the   Flatbush   Avenue   Station   in   Brooklyn.     The    site   is 
within  thirty  of  the  Times  Square  section  by  motor,  via  the 
Queensboro  Bridge.    The  Kew  Gardens  Inn,  under  Knott  Man- 
agement, is  located  near  the  new  apartments  and  the  suround- 
ing   neighborhood    is    built    up   with    modern    dwellings    of    the 
type   which   have   made   this   locality    famous   as   a    high    class 
residential   community. 

The  new  apartments  will  be  four  stories  in  height,  with  base- 
ment, and  will  be  built  around  three  sides  of  a  large  exterior 
court.  This  court  is  thirty  feet  wide  and  will  be  extensively 
landscaped  and  beautified  with  flowers,   shrubbery,   fountains 


Shampan  &  Shampan,  Architects. 

NEW  APARTMENT  BUILDINGS  BEING  ERECTED  AT  KEW  GARDENS 


and  sculptures.  The  facades  of  the  building  will  be  of  face 
brick  with  trimmings  of  limestone  and  terra  cotta  and  the 
walls  of  the  court  will  be  of  light  face  brick  which  will  reflect 
the  light  into  the  apartments. 

Plans  for  this  operation  show  the  rooms  to  be  large  and  of 
excellent  proportions,  with  ample  closet  space  and  all  modern 
conveniences  and  devices  for  easy  housekeeping.  According 
to  the  present  schedule  the  construction  will  not  be  completed 
before  October  1,  but  renting  is  rapidly  proceeding  now  from 
the  plans  and  the  inquiries  denote  an  insistent  demand  for 
accommodations  in  structures  of  this  character  located  in  semi- 
suburban  districts. 


Builders'  Association  Calls  Mass  Meeting  to  Discuss  Material  Shortage 


AT  tlie  earnest  solicitation  of  many  builders  in  the  City 
of  New  York,  as  well  as  several  of  the  important 
dealers  in  building  material  an  informal  conference  was 
called  by  the  Builders'  Association  of  Manhattan,  at  the  office 
of  its  counsel,  Anderson,  Phillips  &  Moss,  565  Fifth  avenue, 
Manhattan,  to  discuss  the  shortage  of  brick  and  to  consider 
ways  and  means  of  remedying  the  present  acute  situation. 
After  a  thorough  discussion,  Harry  G.  Anderson,  of  Anderson, 
Phillips  &  Moss,  was  delegated  to  confer  with  Samuel  Unter- 
myer,  chief  counsel  for  the  Lockwood  Committee,  with  the 
suggestion  that  a  wider  conference  be  immediately  held  to 
discuss  the  problems  confronting  the  building  industry.  It 
was  the  consensus  of  opinion  of  the  meeting  that  invitations 
to  attend  this  conference  should  be  sent  to  the  manufacturers 
of  brick  throughout  the  State  and  New  England,  the  building 
material  dealers,  commission  dealers  in  brick,  and  builders 
throughout  the   Greater   City  of  New  York. 


After  a  lengthy  conference  with  Mr.  Anderson,  at  which 
Harry  Goodstein,  president  of  the  Builders'  Association  of 
Manhattan  was  present,  Mr.  Untermyer  stated  that  he  realized 
the  serious  situation  due  to  the  shortage  of  brick,  and  accepted 
the  invitation  of  the  Builders'  Association  of  Manhattan  to 
attend  the  conference. 

The  Builders'  Association  of  Manhattan  accordingly  has 
called  a  conference  to  be  held  on  Tuesday  evening,  May  16, 
1922,  at  8  o'clock  sharp,  at  the  Hotel  Pennsylvania,  to  discuss 
the  prblems  now  confronting  the  building  industry.  An  in- 
vitation to  attend  this  meeting  is  extended  the  manufacturers 
of  brick,  dealers  in  brick  and  building  material,  builders 
throughout  the  City  of  New  York,  and  any  others  who  are  in- 
terested in  the  subject.  The  invitation  sent  out  by  the  Build- 
ers' Association  of  Manhattan  emphasizes  the  great  import- 
ance of  the  conference.  It  is  expected  that  plans  will  be 
devised  which  will  be  of  value  and  importance  to  the  industry. 


Monthly  Dinner  of  the  Real  Estate  Board  Monday  Evening 


AT  the  monthly  meeting  of  the  Real  Estate  Board  of  New 
York,  to  be  held  at  Delmonico's  on  Monday  evening. 
May  IS,  an  innovation  will  be  made  by  reserving  the  lat- 
ter part  of  the  evening  for  a  general  discussion  of  the  work  of 
the  Board  and  for  constructive  criticism  or  suggestions  for 
improving    it.      A    special    subject    for    discussion    will    be    the 


advisability  of  obtaining  a  permanent  home  for  the  Board. 
As  usual,  all  classes  of  members  are  expected  to  attend. 
Immediately  following  the  dinner,  opportunity  will  be  given  the 
active  members  to  vote  on  certain  amendments  to  the  constitu- 
tion which  the  Board  of  Governors  thinks  it  advisable  to  pres- 
ent at  this  time.      The  meeting  is  confined  to  members.

New  Building  Projects  Starting  Despite  Adverse  Conditions 

Weekly  Construction  Statistics  for  New  York  City,  Tabulated  by  F.  W.  Dodge 
Company,  Show  Only  Slight  Drop  Due  to  Labor  Difficulties 

The  contracts  awarded  for  city  work  during  the  same  period 
numbered  114  and  are  representative  of  an  outlay  of  approxi- 
mately $8,757,100. 

In  the  group  of  223  operations  for  which  plans  were  reported 
during  the  eighteenth  week  of  this  year,  planned  for  sites  within 
the  boundaries  of  Greater  New  York,  were  41  business  struc- 
tures of  various  types,  $5,372,000;  1  educational  project,  $12,- 
000;  6  factory  and  industrial  building  operations,  $645,000;  2 
public  buildings,  $150,000;  11  public  works  and  public  utilities, 
$555,200;  6  religious  and  memorial  buildings,  $440,000;  and  156 
residential  operations  including  apartments,  flats  and  tenements 
and  one  and  two-family  dwellings,  $6,613,800. 

Among  the  114  projects  for  which  contracts  were  awarded 
during  the  week  were  20  business  buildings  such  as  stores, 
offices,  lofts,  commercial  garages,  etc.,  $593,000;  4  educational 
structures,  $1,950,000;  3  hospitals  and  institutions,  $30,000;  2 
industrial  projects,  $37,000;  1  military  building,  $12,000;  10  pub- 
lic works  and  public  utilities,  $402,800;  3  religious  and  memorial 
projects,  $170,000;  69  residential  operations  of  various  types, 
$5,486,300  and  2  social  and  recreational  buildings,  $76,000. 


LABOR  conditions  far  from  satisfactory  and  a  growing 
scarcity  of  certain  building  materials  do  not  seem  to  be 
greatly  deterring  architects  and  engineers  from  going 
ahead  with  plans  for  many  large  projects  nor  do  these  condi- 
tions operate  as  a  preventative  to  the  award  of  contracts  for 
new  construction.  Figures  tabulated  by  the  F.  W.  Dodge  Com- 
pany, for  the  eighteenth  week  of  this  year  show  that  in  the 
territory  including  all  of  New  York  State  and  New  Jersey,  north 
of  Trenton,  687  new  building  and  engineering  operations  were 
reported  in  the  planning  stage.  This  construction  will  involve 
a  total  expenditure  of  more  than  $23,863,600.  During  the  same 
period  the  announcement  of  contract  awards  represented  a  total 
outlay  of  $16,080,800  and  involved  423   separate   projects. 

Local  conditions,  as  applied  to  New  York  City,  have  appar- 
ently not  influenced  a  recession  of  planning  activity  nor  have 
the  retarding  factors  been  permitted  to  slow  down  the  award 
of  contracts  for  new  work.  During  the  past  week  223  new 
construction  projects,  scheduled  for  locations  in  New  York  City, 
were  reported  by  architects  and  their  value  totals  $13,788,000.

Gains   in    Cement   Output 

The  March  production  of  6,655,000  bar- 
rels of  Portland  cement  brought  produc- 
tion for  the  first  quarter  of  1922  up  to 
15,254.000  barrels,  a  slight  increase  over 
the  15.240,000  barrels  put  out  in  the  open- 
ing quarter  of  1921,  Shipments  in  the  first 
quarter  were  13,218,000  barrels,  against 
120,091,000  in  the  same  period  of  1921.  At 
the  end  of  Manh  stocks  amounted  to

tested  at  the  works  of  the  Ohio  Malleable 
Iron  Co.,  at  Columbus,  Ohio,  in  a  40  foot 
furnace.  The  r.  lation  between  service- 
ability and  the  resistance  to  load  at  high 
temperatures,  spalling,  density,  porosity, 
chemical  analyses,  fusion  temperatures 
and  permeability  were  studied.  The  re- 
sults showed  a  close  relation  between  the 
percentage  loss  on  spalllng  and  the  ser- 
viceability.

CURRENT    BUILDING    OPERATIONS 


BUILDING  interests  in  this  city  and  the 
surrounding  territory  are  daily  evi- 
dencing greater  concern  over  the  labor 
outlook.  Building  trade  workers  are  not 
only  scarce  in  some  trades,  but  are  de- 
manding wages  considerably  in  excess  of 
their  stipulated  union  scales,  and  as  a  re- 
sult construction  costs  are  steadily  mount- 
ing and  there  is  a  fear  that  they  will  go 
beyond  the  limit  permitted  by  good  busi- 
ness judgment. 

There  is  also  a  scarcity  of  basic  mate- 
rials, and  a  consequent  advancing  trend 
to  their  prices.  Both  of  these  factors  are 
exerting  a  marked  influence  upon  the  lo- 
cal construction  program,  and  during  the 
past  week  a  number  of  prospective  build- 
ers have  decided  to  hold  their  operations 
in  indefinite  abeyance  until  the  conditions 
are   more   favorable   to   economic  building. 

Common  brick  has  advanced  again  in 
price  and  the  current  wholesale  quotation 
is  $20  a  thousand  in  cargo  lots.  Portland 
cement  manufacturers  have  also  announced 
an  increase  in  price  of  25c.  per  barrel, 
making  the  delivered  price  of  this  com- 
modity in  New  York  City  $3.25  per  barrel, 
less  the  usual  rate  for  bags  returned. 
The  demand  is  active  for  all  materials 
and  the  dealers  are  for  the  most  part 
concerned  in  allocating  their  supplies  so 
that  none  of  the  active  construction  will 
suffer  undue   delays   for  materials. 

Common  Brick — Demand  for  this  com- 
modity is  far  in  excess  of  the  available 
supply  and  manufacturers  are  making  ev- 
ery effort  to  get  brick  into  the  city,  and 
as  a  result  the  up-river  plants  are  now 
practically  devoid  of  stock.  Recent  ar- 
rivals have  been  taken  out  of  the  market 
immediately  upon  the  report  that  the 
barges  have  docked  and  still  there  is  a 
mad  scramble  for  brick  by  builders  who 
don't  want  their  projects  delayed  beyond 
the  October  renting  season.  Manufac- 
turers are  doing  the  best  they  can  to  ad- 
vance production  and  from  all  accounts 
they  will  have  new  brick  in  the  market 
about  May  24.  This  is  considerably  earlier 
than  in  other  years,  but  the  circumstances 
demand  all  possible  haste  in  filling  orders. 
There  is  some  labor  unrest  in  the  Hudson 
River  brick  plants  and  strikes  for  higher 
wages  have  occurred  at  Kingston,  but 
they  have  been  promptly  settled.  So  far 
these  disturbances  have  not  spread  to  the 
yards  further  down  the  river,  and  it  is 
hoped  by  manufacturers  that  labor  con- 
ditions in  the  plants  about  Haverstraw 
and  Newburgh  "will  be  such  this  summer 
as  to  permit  the  maximum  of  brick  pro- 
duction. 

Summary  —  Transactions  in  the  North 
River  brick   market   for  the  week   ending 


Thursday,  May  11,  1922:  Condition  of 
market:  Demand  greater  than  the  supply; 
prices,  advanced  and  firm  at  the  new  level. 
Quotations:  Hudson  Rivers,  $20  a  thou- 
sand to  dealers  in  cargo  lots  alongside 
dock.  Number  of  cargoes  arrived,  30; 
sales.  30.  Distribution:  Manhattan.  9; 
Brooklyn.  15;  New  Jersey  points,  3;  As- 
toria.   2;    Flushing,    1. 

Lumber — Trade  is  active  in  both  whole- 
sale and  retail  departments  of  the  lumber 
business  and  dealers  are  confident  that 
the  demand  will  increase  considerably  be- 
fore   mid-summer.      There    is    a    growing 


demand  from  building  sources,  particu- 
larly in  suburban  sections,  and  manufac- 
turing consumers  are  again  becoming  real 
factors  in  the  lumber  market.  As  a  whole, 
lumber  prices  are  steady  and  firm,  but 
during  the  past  week  or  so  there  has  been 
a  slight  easing  off  on  soft  wood  prices 
due  to  the  arrival  of  fairly  large  con- 
signment from  mill  points.  Yellow  pine 
is  holding  firmly  and  other  structural 
woods  are  steady.  Hardwoods,  particular- 
ly flooring,  are  stronger  in  tone  and  there 
is  a  likelihood  of  higher  prices  in  the  near 
future.

MATERIALS    AND    SUPPLIES 


Roofing  and  Building:  Papers — There  is 
a  substantial  volume  of  business  in  this 
line  and  tlie  demand  is  growing  daily  as 
new  operations  are  started-  Suburban 
construction  is  the  most  important  factor 
in  this  market  and  the  outlook  is  for  in- 
creased requirements  throughout  the  next 
few  months.  Prices  are  lirm  and  un- 
changed. 

Structural  Steel — The  market  for  fabri- 
cated material  for  building  projects  is 
quite  active  and  the  outlook  for  a  steady 
improvement  in  demand  is  excellent.  Com- 
mitments during  the  past  week  or  so  have 


involved  a  large  total  tonnage,  and  sev- 
eral important  operations,  requiring  up- 
ward of  1,500  tons  each,  are  likely  to  be 
closed  within  the  next  week  or  so.  Despite 
the  shortage  of  common  brick  and  other 
basic  materials  and  the  difficulty  of  se- 
curing labor  in  some  trades,  the  local 
building  program  is  progressing  favorably 
and  there  is  no  recession  of  activity  in 
sight.  Steel  prices  are  very  firm  and  sub- 
ject to  further  advances.  Fabricators 
are  now  generally  quoting  from  $67  to 
.$75  per  ton  for  material  erected  in  com- 
mercial structures.

Concrete  Bars — Demand  for  concrete  re- 
inforcing material  has  dropped  oft  to  a 
large  extent  during  the  past  week.  This 
is  largely  the  result  of  the  fears  that  the 
coal  strike  will  prevent  mills  from  de- 
livering on  their  contracts.  Another  fac- 
tor is  the  advancing  price  trend,  and  un- 
til both  supply  and  prices  are  stabilized 
buying  will  probably  be  only  for  imme- 
diate requirements. 

Builders'  Hard«-are  —  Demand  is  ex- 
tremely active  and  dealers  are  doing  their 
utmost  to  keep  their  stocks  complete. 
Persistent  rumors  of  shortages  prevail 
and  prices  are  very  firm.  Reports  from 
manufacturers  indicate  that  the  hard- 
wood demand  from  all  sections  of  the 
country  is  very  heavy  and  production  is 
approximately  at  full  capacity. 

Cast  Iron  Pipe — Despite  the  Jack  of  im- 
portant municipal  business,  the  market 
for  cast  iron  pipe  is  exceedingly  active, 
with  private  buyers  making  heavy  com- 
mitments for  this  commodity.  Inquiries 
are  numerous  and  denote  a  large  volume 
of  new  business  to  be  released  within  the 
next  few  months.  For  the  most  part,  pipe 
foundaries  are  operating  at  nearly  100  per 
cent,  of  capacity  and  prices  are  strong 
and  with  a  tendency  to  advance.  With 
demand  for  cast  iron  pipe  in  excess  of 
the  supply  and  pig  Iron  prices  steadily  In- 
Creasing,  manufacturers  anticipate  an 
early  advance  in  pipe  prices.  Current 
New  York  prices  are  as  follows:  6  in.  and 
larger,  $4S.S0  per  net  ton:  5  in.  and  4  In., 
$53.80,  and  3  In.,  $63.80,  with  Class  A  and 
gas  pipe  $4  extra  per  ton. 

Window  Glass — As  local  construction  in- 
creases in  volume  the  demand  for  both 
plate  and  window  glass  is  improving  pro- 
portionately and  Jobbers  are  making  ac- 
tive preparations  tor  the  rush  of  orders 
that  is  due  to  come  during  the  latter  part 
of  the  summer,  just  before  the  bulk  of  the 
building  now  under  way  reaches  the  point 
at  which  this  material  is  to  be  used.  At 
present  glass  prices  are  very  firm  and 
there  is  little  probability  that  current  lev- 
els  will   be  changed  to  any  extent. 

Electrical  Supplies  —  The  demand  for 
wiring  materials  and  other  electrical  sup- 
plies is  steadily  gaining.  The  building 
boom  in  this  territory  is  now  at  Its  height 
and  there  is  every  indication  that  the 
building  material  and  supply  markets  will 
be  busy  to  full  capacity  for  the  next  few 
months.  The  price  situation  in  the  elec- 
trical trade  is  quite  favorable.  No  changes 
of  importance  have  been  announced  and 
prices  are  apparently  more  steady  than 
they  have  been  for  some  time.  Jobbers 
report  their  stocks  in  good  shape  and 
there  is  no  complaint  of  delayed  deliveries.

An  Ideal  Arrangement 

With  the  abandonment  of  the  private  generating 
plant  in  the  Farmers  Loan  and  Trust  group  down- 
town, arrangements  have  been  made  with  The 
New  York  Edison  Company  to  supply  current  for 
all  needs,  and  with  the  New  York  Steam  Company, 
to  supply  steam  for  every  purpose 

By  thus  taking  both  electricity  and  steam  from 
street  sources,  much  valuable  space  is  released  for 
other  purposes.  In  addition  there  will  be  a  very 
material  saving  in  the  cost  of  light,  power  and 
heat.  Central  Station  supply  is  the  ideal  arrange- 
ment for  large  buildings 

The  three  buildings  of  this  group  occupv  the 
greater  part  of  the  triangular  block  bounded  by 
Exchange  Place,  Beaver  and  William  Streets.  The 
total  electrical  load  will  be  4000  lamps  and  150 
horsepower  in  motors 

If  your  electrical  plant  is  unsatisfactory  or  your 
costs  high,  let  us  explain  what  Central  Station 
Service  will  mean  to  you

Planning  New  York's  Future 

New  Yorkers  are  growing  accustomed  to  the  idea  that 
this  is  the  biggest  city  in  the  world  and  that  its  supremacy 
in  population,  finance  and  commerce  is  likely  to  increase 
rapidly  from  now  on.  But  very  few  of  the  millions  living 
within  the  Metropolitan  District  have  so  far  visualized  to 
just  what  eminence  it  will  attain  if  the  present  rate  of 
progress  in  home  and  in  international  affairs  is  kept  up  for 
another  century  or  a  considerable  part  of  that  period.  New 
York  to  most  of  its  residents  is  already  nearly  perfect,  and 
certainly  more  desirable  as  a  place  of  residence  than  any 
other  part  of  the  country  or  any  place  in  the  whole  world. 

But  the  public-spirited  men  and  women  at  the  head  of 
The  Russell  Sage  Foundation,  fully  recognizing  all  that  is 
praiseworthy  in  the  physical  makeup  of  the  city,  further 
realize  that  even  with  all  its  natural  and  acquired  pre- 
eminence it  still  can  be  improved  on  and  that  if  the  well- 
being  of  its  inhabitants  is  to  be  preserved  as  its  growth 
increases  there  must  be  adopted  sane  and  scientific  plans 
along  which  the  development  must  be  accomplished.  The 
statisticians  of  the  Foundation,  fixing  the  population  today 
of  the  Metropolitan  District  at  9,000,000,  say  that  in  less 
than  thirty  years  it  will  be  16,500,000  and  by  2000  A.  D. 
that  it  will  aggregate  37,000,000.  Realizing  that  no  other 
human  relation  is  so  abnormal  as  the  congestion  of  popula- 
tion such  as  exists  on  the  East  Side,  in  certain  sections  of 
the  Bronx  and  in  Brownsville,  only  equalled  by  the  squalid 
conditions  of  the  slums  of  London  and  the  repellant  fea- 
tures of  the  native  quarters  in  the  cities  of  the  Far  Fast, 
the  Foundation  has  inaugurated  a  series  of  studies,  legal, 
physical,  industrial,  economic  and  social,  for  the  purpose 
of  formulating  a  comprehensive  regional  plan  for  the 
development  of  the  city  and  its  environs  so  that  the  welfare 
of  this  great  multitude  of  people  shall  be  fully  protected. 
When  these  investigations  have  reached  the  stage  of  in- 
timate knowledge  of  the  conditions  of  living  and  working 
in  this  densely  populated  area,  then  it  is  proposed  to  insti- 
tute comprehensive  plans  for  the  development  of  the  district 
embodying  the  best  thoughts  of  engineers,  artists  and  archi- 
tects, public  ofiicials,  social  workers,  economists  and  busi- 
ness men.  It  is  hoped  in  this  way  to  bring  about  the  under- 
taking of  projects  of  constructive  importance  so  as  to 
accomplish  the  greatest  improvement  in  the  social,  indus- 
trial, commercial,  intellectual  and  artistic  values  of  the 
community. 

Secretary  of  Commerce  Hoover,  after  outlining  the  pro- 
posal of  the  Foundation,  summed  up  its  possibilities  in  the 
following  words :  "New  York  is  the  gateway  of  Europe 
into  the  United  States  and  the  dumping  of  great  hordes  of 
people  into  our  slums  is  a  poor  introduction  to  American- 
ization. One  part  of  such  a  plan  must  be  a  realization  of 
each  economic  group  in  the  community  as  to  its  function  to 
the  whole  great  community  of  which  it  is  a  part.  With  this 
in  nrind  residential  districts,  whose  interests  center  largely 
around  low  cost  of  living  and  educational  and  recreational 
facilities,  would  see  their  interests  in  better  means  of  dis- 
tribution and  the  development    of    public    utilities.      The 


manufacturing  districts  must  find  out  not  only  better  ahgned 
transportation,  but  co-ordination  to  residential  areas  which 
can  be  developed  upon  human  lines.  The  survey  can  help 
arouse  a  consciousness  of  its  needs  on  the  part  of  each  com- 
munity and  group  within  the  whole  territory.  The  co- 
operation of  all  groups  must  be  enlisted  if  a  workable  plan 
is  to  be  evolved.  This  is  vital  in  surmounting  the  legal 
difficulties  in  the  way  of  executing  such  a  plan." 

At  the  recent  meeting  in  the  Town  Hall,  when  this  great 
project  was  launched,  speakers  called  attention  to  the  fact 
that  the  rectilinear  mapping  of  the  city,  with  its  natural 
growth  retarded  by  the  barriers  of  the  Hudson  and  East 
Rivers,  had  resulted  in  untold  misery  in  the  stifling  tene- 
ments of  the  East  Side,  where  two  millions  of  people  live 
in  a  square  mile  or  two  of  territory  while  300  miles  of 
wilderness  of  unexampled  natural  beauty  exists  only  six 
miles  away  in  Northern  New  Jersey. 

What  Washington,  Chicago,  Paris  and  other  cities  have 
done  in  the  way  of  city  planning  New  York  must  do  if  it  is 
to  continue  to  hold  the  premier  place  as  the  world's  most 
attractive  as  well  as  most  important  city.  To  the  furthering 
of  this  commendable  project  Elihu  Root,  Robert  W.  de 
Forest,  John  J.  Carty,  Charles  Evans  Hughes,  William 
Howard  Taf  t  and  many  other  eminent  Americans  are  giving 
their  support,  and  it  is  in  order  that  those  who  will  share  in 
the  benefits  common  to  all  citizens  by  the  carrying  out  of 
this  humanitarian  project,  but  who  will  also  profit  finan- 
cially, the  men  and  women  vitally  interested  in  its  real  es- 
tate, should  join  with  them  in  its  consummation. 


Cause  of  the  Brick  Shortage 

Although  it  is  true  that  the  prevailing  scarcity  of  common 
brick  is  retarding  local  building  construction  to  some  extent, 
there  seems  to  be  little  real  excuse  for  the  loud  clamor 
coming  from  certain  quarters  because  of  the  so-called 
"famine."  The  complaining  builders  are  themselves  largely 
to  blame  for  the  existing  conditions.  The  speculative 
building  program,  which  has  now  practically  submerged  all 
other  forms  of  construction  activity  in  this  vicinity,  has  for 
the  past  few  months  made  it  almost  impossible  for  other 
types  of  project  to  proceed.  The  inroads  speculative  build- 
ers have  made  upon  the  available  supplies  of  building  labor 
and  materials  have  substantially  increased  construction  costs 
and  operated  in  a  manner  prejudicial  to  the  best  interests  of 
the  industry  as  a  whole. 

No  one  can  deny  the  existing  shortage  of  brick,  but  the 
fault  lies  almost  entirely  with  those  interests  which  have 
striven  to  take  the  fullest  advantage  of  the  Tax  Exemption 
measure  and  the  high  rentals  still  obtainable  for  living  ac- 
commodations. In  frequent  instances  these  builders  have 
had  neither  regard  for  competitors  in  their  own  branch  of 
the  industry  nor  any  recognition  of  the  rights  of  others  to 
.share  in  the  supplies  of  those  commodities  which  they 
desired. 

Feverish  haste  to  get  apartments  comjileted  in  time  to 
take  full  advantage  of  the  high  rentals  has  resulted  in  a 


614 


RECORD    AND    GUIDE 


May  20,  1922 


sustained  demand  for  brick  throughout  the  past  year.  The 
open  winter  was  a  contributing  factor,  as  it  permitted  con- 
struction practically  without  cessation.  This  naturally  ex- 
hausted the  brick  reserves  which  under  ordinary  conditions 
would  have  been  available  for  early  spring  construction  and 
resulted  in  the  chaotic  conditions  now  prevailing. 

Recent  suggestions  that  brick  be  imported  from  Europe 
in  an  effort  to  break  the  local  wholesale  market  have  not 
been  taken  with  any  degree  of  seriousness  by  builders  who 
are  informed  as  to  current  conditions.  There  is  every  likeli- 
hood that  a  fair  trial  would  prove  this  method  of  supply 
both  inadequate  and  prohibitive  as  to  cost.  Builders  of 
experience  are  not  placing  much  faith  in  the  ability  of  im- 
porters to  supply  foreign  brick  at  prices  which  will  be 
sufficiently  low  to  affect  the  market  for  the  Hudson  River 
product. 

At  this  juncture  there  seems  to  be  only  one  remedy  for 
the  troubles  engendered  by  the  scarcity  of  common  brick. 
That  remedy  is  patience.  Hudson  River  brick  manufactur- 
ers are  doing  their  utmost  to  supply  all  current  requirements, 
and,  in  addition,  to  provide  a  reserve  for  the  coming  winter 
and  the  early  spring  of  1923.  They  have  speedily  settled 
strikes  in  their  plants  for  higher  wages  and  they  are  oper- 
ating their  machines  at  the  maximum  capacity.  These 
producers  had  no  way  of  foretelling  the  demand  for  this 
season.  In  past  years  they  have  frequently  been  left  with 
heavy  reserve  stocks  which  they  were  forced  to  sacrifice  in 
order  to  resume  manufacturing  the  following  season.     But 


the  general  building  public  has  never  heard  the  brick  manu- 
facturers complaining  of  their  losses  or  because  the  indus- 
try was  not  living  up  to  its  obligation  to  take  brick  it  could 
not  absorb.  It  is  only  when  the  situation  is  reversed  and  a 
group  of  interests,  selfishly  concerned  about  diminishing 
paper  profits,  raise  a  loud  wail  that  talk  is  heard  about  in- 
justice, combinations  and  inflated  prices. 

The  early  release  of  additional  construction  will  only 
complicate  an  already  serious  situation.  If  given  a  reason- 
able opportunity  to  produce,  the  Hudson  River  brick  manu- 
facturers will  be  in  a  position  to  supply  all  current  demands, 
but  they  cannot  be  expected  to  jump  from  zero  to  maximum 
output  in  the  first  few  weeks  of  a  new  season,  particularly 
as  they  have  had  to  contend  with  a  fuel  shortage,  inadequate 
labor  and  increasing  manufacturing  costs. 

There  is  a  splendid  lesson  to  the  building  industry  in  the 
prevailing  common  brick  situation.  Brick  manufacturers 
have  never  known  beforehand  what  the  demand  is  likely  to 
be  for  the  season  next  following.  They  have  always  been 
forced  to  operate  their  plants  blindly,  without  knowing  even 
approximately  what  was  expected  of  them,  but  being  always 
supposed  to  have  adequate  reserve  stocks  available,  whether 
saleable  at  a  reasonable  profit  or  not.  Possibly  the  lesson  of 
the  present  crisis  is  to  give  the  brick-makers  some  idea  of 
what  the  requirements  of  the  forthcoming  season  are  likely 
to  be.  If  this  demand  can  be  gauged,  manufacturing  costs 
can  be  stabilized,  plants  more  efficiently  operated  and  man- 
aged and  the  entire  building  industry  benefited  thereby. 


Mr.  Noyes  Makes  Interesting  Analysis  of  the  Real  Estate  Market 


C>^HARLES  F.  NOYES,  president  of  the  Charles  F.  Noyes 
.  Company,  beHeves  that  the  real  estate  business  today 
compares  favorably  with  that  in  recent  years  at  this 
period  in  the  year.  Taking  up  this  line  of  argument  Mr.  Noyes 
declared  that  the  business  of  his  firm  is  exceptionally  good  at 
the  present  time,  with  a  very  excellent  outlook  for  further 
business  as  the  time  approaches  the  usually  dull  summer 
months. 

"The  'easy'  business  of  war  days  is  gone,"  said  Mr.  Noyes 
recently,  "and  all  who  enjoy  normalcy  and  hard  work  should 
be  glad  of  it.  In  its  place  the  important  brokerage  firms  are 
now  arranging  deals  with  bona  fide  investors,  and  this  is  the 
best  character  of  real  estate  dealing  at  any  time.  Mortgage 
money  is  very  easy  and  any  good  loan  can  be  obtained  at  rates 
of  from  Syi  per  cent,  to  6  per  cent.,  and  a  few  good  loans  have 
recently  been  placed  at  5  per  cent;  5  per  cent  money,  however, 
is  exceptional  and  security  must  be  ultra-desirable.  Business 
renting  for  the  1923  season  is  better  than  most  advance  renting 
seasons.  While  rentals  have  dropped  to  stay  dropped  from  the 
high  point  of  war  days  when  office  space  commanded  $4.00  to 
$5.00  per  square  foot,  warehouse  buildings  SOc  per  square  foot, 
and  manufacturing  lofts  $1.00  per  square  foot,  yet  we  all  know 
now  that  the  old  figures  which  existed  prior  to  1914  will  not 
return.  All  leases  made  are  being  made  on  the  basis  of  rentals 
that  show  a  good  income  yield  for  the  properties  and  this  is  as 
it  should  be. 

"Sales  of  real  estate  to  investors  are  now  being  freely  made 
and  a  considerable  amount  of  exchanging  is  being  handled  by 
the  larger  real  estate  offices.  Money  is  plentiful  and  this  is 
best  emphasized  by  the  fact  that  during  the  first  three  months 
of  this  year  over  $5,000,000,000  in  money  has  been  in  circula- 
tion, or  an  average  of  $51.25  per  capita  as  against  $35.05  per 
capita  during  the  same  period  in  1914,  and  all  of  this  money  is 
eligible  for  investment.  Not  only  is  this  great  amount  of 
money  in  circulation,  but  in  1920-1921  the  aggregate  resources 
of  the  national  banks  were  nearly  double  those  of  1914.  The 
business  man  of  large  affairs  finds  himself  at  the  end  of  the 
war  period  with  'odds  and  ends,'  and  these  with  a  little  addi- 


tional money  he  can  convert  into  a  substantial  realty  invest- 
ment. This  exchange  movement  in  my  opinion  will  grow,  and 
I  predict  that  within  six  months  one  of  the  healthiest  trading 
markets  of  my  time  will  be  in  progress. 

"The  fact  that  real  estate  has  proven  itself  to  be  the  one 
prime  investment  of  all  and  is  so  regarded  for  the  first  time 
even  by  men  who  formerly  clung  to  Wall  Street  or  bond 
investments,  is  accelerating  this  movement.  The  real  estate 
market  'turned  the  corner'  last  January  and  now  every  month 
shows  a  steady  and  healthy  gain  not  only  in  volume  of  business 
done  but  in  aggregate  amount  over  that  of  1921. 

"From  April  26,  1922,  to  May  2,  1922,  there  were  transferred 
351  properties  on  Manhattan  Island,  involving  a  total  assessed 
valuation  of  $24,135,000;  as  against  295  properties  transferred 
from  April  27  to  May  3,  1921,  with  an  assessed  valuation  of 
$20,054,500.  From  January  1,  1922,  to  May  2,  1922,  there  have 
been  4,090  transfers  on  Manhattan  Island  with  an  assessed 
valuation  of  $283,040,750,  while  during  the  same  period  in  the 
year  1921  there  were  3,597  transfers  at  an  aggregate  valuation, 
based  on  the  city  assessment  roll,  of  $203,904,299.  These  figures 
conclusively  show  that  the  corner  was  turned  January  1,  1922, 
and  improved  conditions  in  real  estate  are  now  being  felt  by 
those  whose  fingers  are  continually  on  the  pulse  of  the  real 
estate  market. 

"The  only  clouds  on  the  horizon,  and  these  affect  every 
commodity  just  the  same  as  real  estate,  are  the  Soldiers'  Bonus 
Bill,  tariff  revision  and  Income  Tax  regulations.  The  first 
two  may  or  may  not  be  solved  to  the  general  satisfaction  of 
business,  but  the  present  Income  Tax  regulations  as  they 
affect  real  estate  ownership  and  income  derived  therefrom 
will,  I  think,  be  modified  and  worked  out  with  fairness  to  real 
estate  investments  before  we  are  many  years  older.  Bene- 
ficial changes  were  made  in  the  regulations  and  the  laws  for 
1922,  and  more  will  be  worked  out  later.  When  this  one  ser- 
ious handicap  is  removed  Manhattan  real  estate  will  have  the 
biggest  rise  in  its  history,  and  while  we  are  waiting  for  this, 
all  real  workers  in  the  real  estate  profes.sion  have  all  the  active 
profitable  business  that  anyone  deserves."

REAL    ESTATE     SECTION 


Transit  Commission  Proposes  32  Miles  of  New  Subways 

Plans  Additions  to  Present  Lines  with  Links  Between  Them  and  New  Four-Track 
West  Side  Tunnel  All  to  Cost  $218,000,000 


NEW  subways,  links  to  join  existing  lines  and  extensions  of 
these  lines  extending  for  32.55  miles  throughout  the  city 
with  84.20  miles  of  track  are  to  be  provided  at  a  cost  of 
$218,000,000  by  the  program  of  the  Transit  Commission  made  pub- 
lic on  May  11.  It  is  estimated  by  the  engineers  acting  for  the 
hoard  that  the  work  can  be  completed  in  about  five  years  from  the 
time  it  is  started,  and  it  is  expected  that  contracts  will  be  advertised 
for  bidding  in  about  six  months.  In  presenting  its  plans  to  the 
public  for  consideration  and  criticism  the  Commission  says : 

"Provision  for  the  building  of  new  subways  is  one  of  the  most 
important  of  the  duties  with  which  the  Transit  Commission  is 
charged.  The  orders  issued,  or  to  be  issued  by  the  Commission  for 
increasing  service  on  the  existing  lines  as  rapidly  as  the  financial 
condition  of  the  operating  companies  permits  will,  for  the  time 
being,  afford  a  substantial  degree  of  relief.  But  these  measures 
.are  palliatives  only,  and  do  not  solve  the  problem.  The  growth  of 
the  rapid  transit  traffic,  which  increases  daily,  has  been  upon  an 
enormous  scale.  The  new  lines  provided  under  the  dual  contracts, 
-which  more  than  doubled  the  mileage  of  the  original  subway  and 
elevated  system,  have  been  open  but  a  few  years,  and  are  already 
■crowded  to  capacity.  Under  the  highly  congested  conditions  of 
1913,  the  year  in  which  the  dual  contract  construction  was  com- 
menced, the  Interborough  subway  alone  carried  327,471,510  pas- 
sengers. During  the  year  ending  June  30,  1921,  the  Interborough 
old  and  new  lines  together  carried  639,385,780.  The  elevated  lines 
of  the  Brooklyn  Rapid  Transit  Company  in  1913  carried  162,514,055 
passengers,  while  in  1921,  with  the  system  of  subways  allotted  to  the 
Brooklyn  Company,  under  the  dual  plan  linked  with  the  elevated, 
the  total  rose  to  404,970,640.    Figures  like  these  tell  their  own  story. 

"During  the  rush  hours  the  lines  of  both  companies  are  carrying 
very  nearly  the  maximum  number  of  trains  their  trackage  will 
.accommodate.  Bringing  in  more  cars,  as  the  Commission's  service 
orders  require,  'spreading  the  peak'  of  the  period  of  worst  con- 
gestion, and  keying  up  the  service  in  every  possible  respect  will 
continue  to  help :  but  points  of  'saturation'  will  again  be  reached, 
long  before  new  lines  are  ready  for  use.  The  building  of  new  lines 
offers,  in  fact,  the  only  means  of  permanent  and  continuous  relief, 
and  it  is  the  conviction  of  the  Commission  that  a  broad  building 
program  should  be  launched  with  the  least  possible  delay. 

"A  building  program  should  have  been  under  way  five  years  ago. 
Not  a  new  line  has  been  provided,  however,  since  March  of  1913, 
and  some  of  the  construction  work  then  required  by  the  dual  con- 
tracts has  not  yet  been  finished.  The  time  consumed  in  the  building 
of  a  subway,  including  the  laying  out  and  validation  of  routes,  the 
drawing  of  plans,  the  preparation  of  contracts  and  the  actual  con- 
struction work  runs  from  three  to  five  years. 

"With  such  time  limitations  in  view,  the  Commission  took  up  the 
matter  of  necessary  new  construction  shortly  after  its  appointment. 
It  has  since  had  under  consideration  a  variety  of  routes  and  plans, 
studied  out  and  prepared,  in  the  first  instance,  by  its  Consulting 
Engineer,  Daniel  L.  Turner,  and  from  among  these,  has  agreed 
upon  seven  major  projects  as  the  first  to  be  presented.  It  will 
proceed  with  the  formal  adoption  of  the  particular  routes  included, 
and  take  whatever  other  steps  are  necessary  to  set  the  actual  work 
in  motion,  after  opportunity  has  been  given  for  full  public 
discussion." 

The  separate  lines  proposed,  listed  in  the  order  in  which  tlie 
Commission  believes  they  should  be  put  under  construction,  are  as 
follows : 


I.  The  extension  of  the  Corona  line,  in  North  Queens,  from  Corona  to 
Flushing. 

II.  The  extension  of  the  cross-town  subway  in  Forty-second  Street, 
Manhattan,  with  moving  platform  equipment  connecting  with  each  of 
the  present  and  future  north  and  south  rapid  transit  lines,  both  subways 
and  elevated. 

III.  A  Staten  Island  Tunnel,  to  connect  with  the  Fourth  Avenue  Sub- 
way, in  Brooklyn,  and  with  the  various  steam  and  trolley  lines  in  Staten 
Island, 

IV.  An  extension  of  the  Broadway-Seventh  Avenue  Line  of  the  Brooklyn 
Rapid  Transit  system,  from  Fifty-ninth  Street,  Manhattan,  under  Central 
Park  West  110th  Street  and   Seventh  Avenue  to  155th  Street. 

V.  A  Brooklyn  crosstown  line  from  the  Queenstxirough  Plaza  in  Long 
Island  City  to  a  point  of  connection  with  the  Brighton  Beach  Line,  at  or 
near  Franklin  Avenue  and  BMlton  Street,  Brooklyn. 

VI.  A  new  subway  and  East  River  tunnel  to  connect  the  Fulton  Street 
elevated  line,  in  Brooklyn,  with  the  Broadway-Fourth  Avenue  Line,  at  the 
City  Hall  station,  in  Manhattan. 

VII.  A  new  trunk  line  subway  to  run  from  downtown.  Manhattan,  to 
Washington  Heights,  following,  in  the  main.  Eighth  and  Amsterdam 
Avenues. 

"Although  a  certain  order  of  construction  is  indicated,"  the  Com- 
mission says,  "it  is  the  judgment  of  the  Commission  that,  so  far  as 
possible,  the  preliminary  work  upon  all  of  these  lines  should  be 
taken  up  at  once,  and  without  material  difference  in  the  fixing  of  the 
dates  of  actual  beginning  of  construction.  It  is  considered  equally 
important  that  the  entire  program  should  be  arranged,  so  far  as 
possible,  in  construction  units  that  will  be  capable  of  immediate 
operation  as  integral  parts  of  the  transit  system,  each  as  soon  as  it 
can  be  completed,  thereby  avoiding  waste  either  in  the  use  of 
operable  structures,  or  in  the  unnecessary  accumulation  of  interest. 
The  plans  of  the  engineers  have  been  worked  out  with  these  ends  in 
view." 

The  details  of  the  routes  proposed,  with  the  estimated  costs  and 
periods  of  time  for  construction  are  as  follows : 

(1)  The  line  to  Flushing  which,  some  years  ago,  was  assured  first 
place  in  the  'program  of  extensions  to  the  dual  system,  will  run  as  a 
three  track  continuation  of  the  elevated  structure  from  Corona  to  Flushing 
Creek,  and  from  thence  as  a  subway  to  Main  Street.  It  will  cross  the 
Creek  on  a  drawbridge,  the  plans  for  which  are  about  to  be  submitted 
to  the  War  Department  for  approval  and  at  its  terminal  will  connect  with 
practically  all  of  the  trolley  lines  entering  Flushing  from  the  north.  The 
estimated  cost  of  the  work  is  $2,800,000,  and  the  time  of  completion  three 
and  a  half  years. 

(2)  The  42nd  Street  line  of  moving  platforms,  which  would  be  carried 
in  subways  under  the  present  sidewalks,  would  be  ready  for  use  in  three 
years,  and  would  cost,  including  station  finish,  track  and  real  estate, 
$G,(X)O,00O. 

From  a  traflSc  point  of  view  the  42nd  Street  problem  is,  next  to  Canal 
Street,  the  most  important  now  pressing  for  solution.  The  present  shuttle 
service,  as  the  crossbar  in  the  "H"  system,  has  far  outgrown  its  tem- 
porary purpose  and  should  be  replaced  as  soon  as  possible.  Passengers  are 
now  required  to  walk  a  quarter  of  a  mile  between  the  shuttle,  with  two 
intervals  of  waiting,  one  for  the  shuttle  itself,  and  one  for  the  up  or 
downtown  train,  The  unloading,  simultaneously,  of  an  entire  trainload 
of  passengers  causes  intolerable  crowding  on  the  mainline  platforms,  and 
aggravates  the  discomforts  of  delay.  The  Commission  believes  that  the 
moving  platform  will  provide  all  of  the  transfer  facilities  needed  more 
satisfactorily  than  by  any  other  method.  It  will  reduce  walking  to  a 
minimum;  give  continuous  service  instead  of  intermittent;  shorten  the 
time  of  transfer ;  do  away  with  the  congestion  due  to  mass  arrivals ; 
increase  capacity,  and  provide  seats  for  everyone. 

'Carried  from  river  to  river,  this  service,  incidently,  will  solve  another 
serious  transit  problem.  There  are  seven  rapid  transit  trunk  lines,  subway 
and  elevated,  with  twenty-three  tracks,  at  present  routing  across  42nd 
Street  uptown  and  downtown,  without  connection  with  or  transfer  to  a 
single  crosstown  line.  When  the  Eighth  Avenue  line  is  built,  there  will 
bo  four  more  such  tracks.  This  is  a  vital  defect  in  the  carrying  system 
as  it  exists  today.  There  should  be  a  number  of  crosstown  lines,  to  give 
I>roper  convenience  and  elasticity  to  the  general  Manhattan  system,  but 
the  most  pressing  need,  no  doubt,  is  that  existing  at  42nd  Street,  and  this 
need.  too.  would  now  be  met  by  the  moving  platform.  Incidentally,  the 
present  surface  railroad  can  be  eliminated,  and  proper  connection  afforded 
at  the  42ud  Street  North  River  Ferry  for  the  suburban  trafHo  received  at 
that  point.     The  Commission  Is  reserving  appropriate  levels  for  the  build-

ing  of  aaaitional  subway  tracks  also  across  42nd  Street,  wheE  and  if  they 
are  required.  It  has  also  under  consideration  the  proposed  alternative  of 
looping  the  42nd  Street  Line  with  a  new  crosstown  line  through  34th 
Street  to  serve  the  heart  of  the  shopping  district. 

(3)  For  the  connection  to  Staten  Island  two  alternatives  are  offered. 
That  at  present  favored  by  the  Commission  would  be  provided  by  the 
building  of  a  two  track  subway,  beginning  at  Fourth  Avenue  and  57th 
Street,  the  present  terminus  of  the  Fourth  Avenue  in  Brooklyn,  running 
through  Fourth  Avenue,  under  private  property  and  the  Hidge  Boulevard 
to  Fort  Hamilton,  and  thence  under  the  Narrows  to  Pennsylvania  Avenue, 
in  Staten  Island.  Via  Pennsylvania  Avenue  the  tunnel  would  extend  to 
a  point  near  Vermont  Avenue,  at  which  connection  can  be  made  to  the 
South  Beach  branch  of  the  Staten  Island  Rapid  Transit  Railway,  con- 
tinuing thence  through  Pennsylvania  Avenue  to  the  South  Side  Boulevard, 
where  connection  can  also  be  made  to  Tottenville,  and  other  points  now 
reached   through  the   trolley   system. 

Such  a  subway  and  tunnel  would  take  from  five  to  five  and  a  half 
years  to  build.  The  engineers  of  the  Commission,  however,  also  recom- 
mend that,  upon  the  completion  of  the  line  to  Fort  Hamilton,  a  Municipal 
Ferry  be  put  in  operation  to  connect  with  the  Staten  Island  points.  Such 
a  ferry  would  cost  $3,000,000,  and  would  bring  the  Island  traffic  in  touch 
with  the  subway  system  three  years  earlier.  Upon  the  completion  of  the 
entire  line,  it  would  still  find  a  highly  useful  service  in  providing  a 
crossing  point  for  vehicular  traffic. 

The  alternative  Staten  Island  route  proposed  would  begin  at  Fourth 
Avenue  and  67th  Street,  Brooklyn,  at  a  connection  with  the  Fourth 
Avenue  line,  and  proceed  under  New  York  Bay  to  Arietta  Street,  in 
Staten  Island,  where  connections  would  be  made  with  the  rapid  transit  and 
trolley  systems. 

To  complete  the  Fort  Hamilton  route,  subway  and  tunnel,  would  cost 
approximately  $17,000,000,  with  $3,000,000  added  if  a  ferry  service  is 
used.  The  route  to  Arietta  Street,  which  would  have  a  balancing  ad- 
vantage in  touching  more  directly  the  Staten  Island  communities  at 
present  the  most  populous,  would  cost  about  $4,000,000  more. 

It  is  appreciated  that  the  Board  of  Estimate  and  Apportionment,  under 
a  legislative  act  of  1921,  has  been  preparing  to  construct  a  tunnel  connec- 
tion between  Brooklyn  and  Staten  Island,  tor  the  joint  use  of  passenger 
and  freight  traffic.  So  tar  as  such  a  tunnel  is  designed  to  carry  rapid 
transit  passengers,  it  would,  of  course,  be  essential  that  it  be  planned  in 
cooperation  with  the  Transit  Commission.  The  engineers  of  the  Commis- 
sion are,  however,  unanimous  in  their  judgment  that  a  tunnel  designed  to 
carry  freight  trains  cannot  be  used  for  rapid  transit  passenger  purposes. 
In  this  judgment  the  engineers  of  the  Board  of  Estimate  have  apparently 
concurred  ;  though  the  Commission  has  not  as  yet  been  informed  of  the 
nature  of  their  present  plans.  The  Commission  is,  of  course,  prepared  to 
enter  into  any  manner  of  practicable  cooperation  that  will  give  the 
Borough  of  Richmond  its  much  needed  transit  relief. 

The  Transit  Construction  Commissioner,  predecessor  of  the  Transit 
Commission,  initiated  the  preparation  of  plans  for  a  rapid  transit  tunnel 
as  early  as  May,  1920.  at  which  time  an  appropriation  of  $50,000  was 
made  by  the  Board  of  Estimate  and  Apportionment  to  provide  for  the  in- 
cidental surveys  and  explorations  necessary  to  the  development  of  more 
detailed  designs  and  the  selection  of  a  place  for  the  proper  tunnel  cross- 
ing. At  the  time  of  the  passage  of  the  Act  of  1921  this  work  had  been 
advanced  considerably  but  it  was  stopped  when  the  Board  of  Estimate 
cut  out  the  appropriation  covering  it  which  the  Transit  Commission  had 
inherited.  It  seems  not  improbable  that  if  the  Fort  Hamilton  Route  be 
chosen,  a  plan  might  be  agreed  upon  under  which  the  freight  and  rapid 
transit  tunnels  can  be  built  at  the  same  time,  with  a  consequent  saving 
in  the  net  cost  of  each. 

(4)  The  Broadway-Fourth  Avenue  Line,  now  operated  by  the  Brook- 
lyn Rapid  Transit  Company  to  59th  Street,  Manhattan,  is  a  four  track 
trunk  line  running  'through  86th  Street  and  Fourth  Avenue,  in  Brook- 
lyn, over  and  under  the  East  River  by  way  of  the  Manhattan  Bridge  and 
the  Whitehall  Tunnel,  and  via  Broadway  and  Seventh  Avenue,  North. 
The  southern  terminal  of  this  line  is  already  supplied  with  more  branches 
than  the  trunk  tracks  can  properly  accommodate,  but  the  northern  ex- 
tremity has  but  one  collecting  and  distributing  branch,  the  two  track 
line  through  59th  and  60th  Streets  to  the  Queensborough  Plaza.  The 
other  two  tracks  of  the  trunk  line  are  dead-ended  at  59th  Street.  For 
this  reason,  workward  in  the  morning  and  homeward  at  night,  during 
the  rush  hours,  only  half  of  the  capacity  of  the  line  is  developed  from 
the  northern  terminal.  Passengers  using  the  Brooklyn  system  are,  more- 
over, unable  to  pass  north  of  59th  Street  without  paying  an  additional 
tare  at  an  Interborough  station.  It  is  proposed,  therefore,  to  build  an- 
other two  track  extension  from  Seventh  Avenue  North  under  Central 
Park  West,  and  the  Park  to  110th  Street,  and  thence  via  Seventh  Avenue 
to  15oth  Street  and  Eighth  Avenue.  A  spur  track  for  such  a  connection 
has  already  been  constructed.  This  extension  would  provide,  in  effect, 
another  north  and  south  line  for  the  full  length  of  Manhattan  Island. 
It  would  relieve  very  materially  the  Ninth  and  Sixth  Avenue  Line  of  the 
Manhattan  Elevated  Company,  as  well  as  the  Lenox  Avenue  branch  of  the 
original   subway  between  110th  Street  and  the  Harlem  River. 

Furthermore,  it  would  hasten  the  time  when  the  Sixth  Avenue  elevated 
line  may  be  removed  from  the  street.  This  line  at  present  adds  practically 
nothing  to  the  capacity  of  the  city's  rapid  transit  facilities.  It  adds  only 
to  the  convenience  of  the  passengers  using  it.  and  its  removal  from  the 
street  would  provide  the  most  immediate  outlet  possible  for  the  sort  of 
development  that  is  now  overstraining  Fifth  Avenue. 

Another  incidental  advantage  of  this  extension  would  be  that  the  sur- 
face tracks  upon  Central  Park  West  may  be  more  readily  removed — as 
the  subway  would  provide  virtually  the  same  service — and  the  released 
surface  of  the  street  thereupon  transformed  into  a  westerly  Park  Boule- 
vard. 

The  approximate  cost  of  the  Central  Park  West-Seventh  Avenue  ex- 
tension would  be  $26,500,000,  and  the  time  consumed  in  construction  three 
and  one-half  years. 

(5)  The  so-called  Brooklyn  Crosstown  Line  was  originally  projected 
as  an  elevated  when  the  dual  system  was  laid  out,  but  its  construction 
was  deferred  because  of  local  objection  to  elevated  construction,  and  be- 
cause of  the  fact  that  the  city's  resources  tor  the  more  expensive  alterna- 
tive of   subway  building  had  then   been  exhausted.     It  is  the   opinion   of 


the  Commission  that  the  line  should  be  built  as  a  subway  without  further 
delay — first,  as  a  means  of  articulating  all  of  the  rapid  transit  lines  at 
present  traversing  Brooklyn  and  Queens,  so  that  any  one  of  these  can  be 
reached  conveniently  and  quickly  from  any  other  one  ;  second,  as  a  means 
of  access  to  the  shore  front  of  Brooklyn  and  Queens  north  of  the  Navy- 
Yard  ;  and  third,  as  a  direct  means  of  carrying  passengers  from  Man- 
hattan and  Queens  to  Brooklyn  and  Coney  Island  without  traversing  the 
congested  district  of  lower  Manhattan. 

Such  a  line  will  tend  further  to  decentralize  traffic  by  building  up 
another  prosiwrous  business  thoroughfare  north  and  south  in  Brooklyn, 
and  will  save  the  Queens  tralfic  bound  for  Brooklyn  from  a  long  detour 
through    Manhattan. 

Through  Long  Island  City  the  line  will  follow  Jackson  Avenue,  one  of 
the  widest  and  most  important  thoroughfares  in  the  business  section  of 
Queens.  Through  the  Greenpoint  section  of  Brooklyn,  it  will  follow  Man- 
hattan Avenue,  the  principal  business  street  of  that  section,  and  thence 
through  Roebling  Street,  Williamsburgh,  and  by  the  cutting  of  a  new 
street,  of  about  three  blocks  in  length,  from  Roebling  Street  to  Bedford 
Avenue,  and  thence  to  a  connection  with  the  Brighton  Beach  Line  at  Ful- 
ton Street  and  FYanklin  Avenue.  In  its  progress,  it  would  furnish  points 
of  transfer  to  the  stations  of  all  the  other  lines  it  would  intercept — the 
Broadway,  Myrtle  and  Lexington  Avenue  elevated  lines,  and  the  14th 
Street-Eastern   subway. 

The  Commission  has  also  in  view  a  further  connection  between  this 
line  by  way  of  Flushing  or  Park  Avenues  and  Jay  and  Smith  Streets, 
to  the  Borough  Hall  section  of  Brooklyn.  At  some  future  time,  no  doubt, 
it  will  also  be  desirable  to  connect  the  northern  end  of  the  line  directly 
with  the  Astoria  branch  of  the  Queensborough  system,  thence  into  Man- 
hattan at  25th  Street  and  across  125th  Street  to  Port  Lee  Ferry. 

The  estimated  cost  of  the  line  as  now  proposed  is  $24,000,000,  and  the 
time  to  complete  from  three  to  three  and  one-half  years. 

(6)  The  proposed  link  between  the  Fulton  Street  elevated  line  in 
Brooklyn  and  the  Manhattan  sections  of  the  Brooklyn  Rapid  Transit 
subway  would  proceed,  at  the  Brooklyn  end,  by  way  of  the  so-called  "Ash- 
land Place  connection."'  This  will  provide  additionally  a  connection  with 
the  present  Fourth  Avenue  Subway.  It  is  the  view  of  the  Commission, 
however,  that  another  crossing  to  Manhattan  should  be  afforded  through 
a  new  East  River  tunnel,  for  the  relief  from  over-crowding  of  the  exist- 
ing Whitehall  tunnel.  If  such  a  plan  is  followed,  it  will  involve  more  or 
less  modification  of  the  Nassau  Street  line  in  Manhattan.  The  building 
of  this  line,  for  which  provision  is  made  in  the  dual  contracts,  had  not 
been  undertaken,  apparently  more  or  less  by  common  consent,  during  the 
eight  years  preceding  1921.  The  present  Commission,  upon  its  appoint- 
ment a  year  ago,  made  no  change  in  this  situation,  pending  proper  con- 
sideration of  plans  under  which  it  might  be  linked  with  a  tunnel  of  its 
own  or  otherwise  modified.  The  present  recommendations  of  the  Com- 
mission's engineers  cover  two  alternative  routes.  Each  of  these  would 
require,  at  the  start,  the  removal  of  the  elevated  railroad  from  lower  Ful- 
ton Street,  Brooklyn,  thereby  greatly  improving  the  most  important  thor- 
oughfare of  that  borough.  Under  either,  the  Fulton  Street  tracks  would 
be  dropped  to  a  subway  at  a  point  at  or  near  Clermont  Avenue,  and  car- 
ried th(:nce  via  Fulton  Street,  private  property.  Fort  Greene  Place,  De- 
Kalb  Avenue,  further  private  property  and  Livingston  Street  to  Sidney 
Place.  From  this  point,  the  first  of  the  alternative  routes  would  proceed 
under  Grace  Court  and  the  East  River  to  Nassau  Street,  and  thence  across 
Park  Row  under  the  present  Post  Office  Building  to  a  connection  with 
the  Broadway  Subway  at  City  Hall,  Manhattan.  Under  the  second  alter- 
native, the  line  would  run  from  Livingston  Street  under  private  prop- 
erty to  Clinton  Street,  and  thence  through  Liberty  Street  and  lower  Fulton 
Street  under  the  East  River  to  Ann  Street,  in  Manhattan,  and  across 
Park  Row  to  the  main  line  at  City  Hall. 

"The  great  Central  District  of  Brooklyn  has  so  far  been  deprived 
of  proper  access  to  the  city-wide  subway  system,"  the  report  adds, 
"The  Commission  wishes  to  right  this  seeming  injustice  as  soon 
as  possible.  Brooklyn  needs  more  than  anything  else  in  the  way  of 
transit  facilities  additional  trunk  line  access  to  and  through  Man- 
hattan. There  are  so  many  branch  lines  traversing  the  Borough  of 
Brooklyn  under  the  dual  plan,  the  traffic  upon  all  of  which  is 
developing  ramarkably,  and  so  few  trunk  lines  serving  these,  that 
only  about  half  of  the  full  capacity  of  the  existing  Brooklyn  sys- 
tem can  really  be  developed  until  more  trunk  lines  are  constructed. 
This,'  in  the  judgment  of  the  Commission,  is  the  strongest  argu- 
ment in  favor  of  the  construction  of  a  new  and  separate  tunnel  for 
the  downtown  Manhattan   connections. 

"The  estimated  cost  of  the  first  of  the  alternatives  proposed  from 
Ashland  Place  to  the  City  Hall,  within  which  part  of  the  original 
Nassau  Street  line  would  be  incorporated,  is  $28,000,000,  and  that  of 
the  Ann  Street  connection,  $25,000,000.  In  estimating  the  outlay 
upon  either  of  these  alternatives,  however,  allowance  should  be 
made  for  the  estimated  cost  of  $7,000,000  of  the  Nassau  line  as  a 
link  in  the  dual  plan,  which  is  still  carried  in  the  estimates  of  un- 
completed dual  work,  and  which,  of  course,  would  be  deducted 
from  the  total  cost  of  the  purely  new  work.'' 

The  report  continues : 

(7)  The  Eighth  Avenue-Amsterdam  Avenue  line  would,  in  many  re- 
spects, be  the  most  important  and  the  most  ambitious  in  scope.  Begin- 
ning at  a  point  in  Forty-first  Street  between  Seventh  and  Eighth  Avenues, 
where  connection  is  to  be  made  with  the  Queensborough  subway,  ground 
for  which  was  broken  last  week,  it  will  run  south  on  a  four  track  line 
through  Eighth  Avenue  to  Fourteenth  Street,  and  as  a  two  track  line  to 
Hudson  and  Chambers  Streets.  Northward  from  Forty-first  Street  it  will 
run  as  a  four  track  subway  up  Eighth  Avenue  and  across  Fifty-seventh 
Street,  with  underground  access  to  Columbus  Circle,  and  up  .'\msterdam 
Avenue   to   103rd  Street,   thence   as  a  four  track   subway  to  155th    Street,

atill  via  Amsterdam  Avenua  but  as  a  three  track   subway  to  159th   Street 
and  Fort  Washington  Avenue,  and  thence  to  181st  Street. 

It  is  proposed  to  construct  the  Eighth  Avenue  line  by  sections,  each 
capable  of  linking  up  upon  its  completion  with  some  part  of  the  transit 
system  now  in  use,  and   in  accordance  with  the  following  program  : 

(a)  The  first  section  recommended  for  construction  will  cover  the 
portion  of  the  line  extending  from  41st  Street  to  Fourteenth.  This  will 
carry  four  tracks,  but  so  placed  as  to  permit  the  addition  of  another  group 
of  tracks  at  a  later  date.  Eventually  eight  tracks  are  designed  for  the 
full  trunk  sections  of  this  route.  Those  now  to  be  built  will  be  located 
in  a  two  deck  four  track  subway,  placed  on  the  west  side  of  the  Avenue. 
At  Forty-first  Street  this  will  be  connected  with  the  Queensborough  ex- 
tension, and  at  14th  Street  by  means  of  two  connecting  tracks  to  Sixth 
Avenue  and  Fourteenth  Street,  with  the  Fourteenth  Street-Eastern  Dis- 
trict   line   to   Brooklyn. 

These  connections  will  afford  a  through  loop  service  between  the  Queens- 
borough  and  14th  Street  lines,  incidentally  opening  up  one  of  the  most 
important   sections    of    Manhattan    to   either. 

(b)  The  second  building  stage  south' on  Eighth  Avenue  will  carry  the 
line  from  Fourteenth  Street  to  a  terminal  station  at  Chambers  Street, 
where  passengers  desiring  to  go  further  south  in  Manhattan,  or  to  Brook- 
lyn,   will    transfer   to   the   Broadway-Seventh   Avenue    line. 

(c)  The  third  step  will  cover  the  section  north,  again  as  a  two  deck 
four  track  subway,  on  the  westerly  side  of  Eighth  Avenue  to  Fifty- 
seventh  Street,  and  thence  by  way  of  Amsterdam  Avenue  to  103rd  Street. 
At  this  point,  the  traffic  of  Lenox  Avenue  branch  of  the  existing  subway 
can  be  diverted  to  the  new  line  thereby  providing  for  the  immediate  relief 
of  the  upper  west  side  of  Manhattan  through  the  turning  over  the  exist- 
ing   Broadway-Seventh    Avenue    Hue    entirely    to    its    service. 

(d)  As  a  fourth  and  final  step,  the  line  will  be  continued  on  a  four 
track  single  level  up  Amsterdam  Avenue  to  155th  Street,  and  from  this 
point,  with  three  tracks,  up  Fort  Washington  Avenue  to  ISlst  Street. 
This  fourth  unit  will  provide  the  further  facilities  so  badly  needed 
through  the  densely  built  apartment  territory  that  has  developed  in  upper 
Manhattan,  as  the  result  of  the  building  of  the  first  subway.  It  would 
provide  this  territory  with  an  express  service  beginning  at  155th  Street 
and   running  the   full   distance  south  to   Fourteenth   Street. 

The   estimated    cost   of   the    Eighth    Avenue   line   by   sections  would   be : 

(a)      .?i2,<)no,iHin:      (b)      .f7,500,ono;      (o      ,$24,000,000;      (d)      $l'C,- 

(l(X).O(X)— a  total  of  .$6!t..-|00.000.     Sections   (a)   and   (b)   would  take  a  little 
over  three  years  to  complete;     sections  (c)  and  (d)   tour  years. 

"It  is  proposed,  incidentally,"  the  Commission  declares,  "to  de- 
velop a  general  concourse  station  at  Columbus  Circle,  where  the 
lines  of  the  Amsterdam  Avenue,  the  Broadway-Central  Park  West 


connection  and  the  present  subway  will  converge  all  within  an  area 
of  two  or  three  blocks.  This  would  bring  the  service  of  practi- 
cally every  part  of  the  city  to  Columbus  Circle  and  materially  stim- 
ulate the  development  of  this  increasingly  important  section  of 
Manhattan. 

"While  the  building  of  the  Amsterdam  Avenue  line  to  Washing- 
ton Heights,  and  the  extension  of  the  Broadway  line  to  Harlem, 
will  provide  the  west  side  of  Manhattan  for  some  time  to  come  with 
the  facilities  it  so  badly  requires,  the  crosstown  line  through  Brook- 
lyn, connection  with  all  of  Manhattan  north  of  the  Queensborough 
Bridge  connection,  will,  in  turn,  greatly  relieve  the  present  pressure 
on  the  east  side  lines.  The  provision  made  at  various  points  in  the 
new  plan  for  cross  connections,  affecting  nearly  every  line  in  the 
city,  will  in  turn  permit  a  much  improved  distribution  of  the  gen- 
eral traffic,  and  aid  the  better  development  of  the  city  itself." 

The  several  new  routes  projected  will  add  the  following  track 
and  route  mileage  to  the  present  mileage  of  the  dual  system :

"The  total  estimated  cost  of  the  construction,"  the  Commission 
says  in  conclusion,  "of  the  seven  projects  in  view  is  in  round  num-

Review  of  Real  Estate  Market  for   the   Current   Week 

Sale  of  a  Large  West  End  Avenue  Apartment  House  Stood  Out  in  Bold  Relief 

Amid  Much  Varied  Dealing 


THE  principal  characteristic  of  the  real  estate  market, 
this  week,  was  dealing  in  all  kinds  of  properties  in  all 
parts  of  the  city.  Old  and  new  tenement  houses  of  the 
walk-up  types,  elevator  apartment  houses,  private  dwellings 
of  all  kinds  and  conditions,  vacant  plots  for  improvement,  old 
corners  for  reimprovement,  business  taxpayers,  mercantile 
buildings  and  dwellings  to  be  remodeled  into  stores  and  offices, 
formed  the  aggregate.  Tenants  acquired  some  of  each  kind  of 
improved  property  and  one  tenant  who  had  been  leasing  a  large 
plot  in  Harlem  for  a  stone  yard  bought  the  plot.  Some  old 
estates  disposed  of  choice  parcels.  The  William  Waldorf 
Astor  estate  still   continues  to  sell. 

Crowning  the  dealing  of  the  week  was  the  resale  of  the 
Evanston  elevator  apartment  house,  at  the  southeast  corner 
of  West  End  Avenue  and  90th  Street,  for  about  $1,750,000. 
It  represented  the  taking  of  a  quick  profit  by  a  firm  of  big 
operators.  Everybody  seems  to  be  a  bull  on  New  York  real 
estate  just  now.  There  were  other  important  elevator  apart- 
ment houses  sold  and  some  of  them  are  in  course  of  being 
resold.  The  Horace  Russell  mansion,  on  a  Park  avenue  corner, 
was  resold  as  the  site  for  a  church. 

Madison  and  Lexington  Avenue  corners  as  well  as  inside 
parcels  figured  largely  in  the  dealing.  The  upper  reaches  of 
these  thoroughfares  are  in  a  state  of  transition  from  private 
residence  to  apartment  residence  and  business  combined  that 
shows  the  spreading  out  of  the  apartment  house  construction 
movement.    The  Lexington  Avenue  subway  route  is  a  powerful 


factor  in  the  change  under  way.  Several  sites  for  tall  elevator 
apartment  buildings  were  bought  on  cross  streets.  A  single 
lot  in  Upper  Fifth  Avenue — a  rarity  nowadays— changed  hands 
for  improvement  with  a  fine  dwelling.  Some  Third  Avenue 
corners  were  Ijought.  The  Steinway  piano  firm  added  to  the 
plot  it  has  assembled  in  East  S8th  Street  as  the  site  of  a  new 
building  for  its  offices. 

Downtown  the  Childs  restaurant  firm  bought  a  building  on 
Broadway,  near  Leonard  Street,  that  it  has  long  leased.  The 
lower  West  Side  was  active.  Trinity  Church  sold  a  group  of 
old  buildings  and  there  were  scattered  sales  that  indicate 
strong  demand.  Some  of  these  parcels  were  bought  by  tenants. 
A  parcel  on  Sixth  Avenue  also  went  into  the  hands  of  a  tenant. 

Two  Columbia  University  leaseholds  adjacent  to  Fifth 
Avenue  were  bought  and  the  buildings  on  them  will  be  re- 
modeled for  business  uses.  The  leasing  for  a  long  term  of 
years  of  the  southwest  corner  of  Broadway  and  Third  Street 
means  the  passing  of  an  old  3-story  building  that  was  orig- 
inally a  dwelling  and  the  reimprovement  of  the  site  with  a 
small  office  building.  Emphasizing  the  growing  rental  power 
of  the  Fifth  Avenue  and  42d  Street  section  was  the  leasing  of 
one  of  the  newly  made  stores  in  the  street  side  of  the  Bristol 
building  to  a  trunk  and  bag  dealer,  at  an  aggregate  rental  of 
$300,000  for  a  term  of  years  that  is  not  very  long.  It  repre- 
sents a  vastly  increased  rental  over  that  paid  by  the  former 
lessee.  A  21  years'  lease  of  the  old  dwellings  at  166-168  Fifth 
Avenue  was  another  important  lease  of  the  week. 


PRIVATE  REALTY  SALES. 


THE  total  number  of  sales  reported,  but  not 
recorded  in  Manhattan  this  week  was  109, 
as  against  71  last  week  and  101  a  year  ago. 

The  number  of  sales  south  of  59th  st  was  47, 
as  compared  with  32  last  week  and  62  a  year 
ago. 

The  number  of  sales  north  of  59th  st  was  62, 
as  compared  with  39  last  week  and  70  a  year 
ago. 

From  the  Bronx  34  sales  at  private  contract 
were  reported,  as  against  39  last  week  and  21 
a  year  ago.

of  Queens  borough,  and  the  adjoining  127.6 
feet  on  Moore  st  was  acquired  from  Cornelius 
Burke.  On  this  plot  a  4-sty  reinforced  con- 
crete building  will  be  erected,  having  a  total 
floor  area  of  70,000  square  feet  (with  steam 
heating,  refrigerating,  air  conditioning,  and 
power  plant),  and  of  the  most  modern  con- 
struction. Ridley's  was  established  in  1872 
and  was  long  located  on  Grand  st,  Manhattan, 
but,  keeping  up  with  the  growth  and  develop- 
ment of  the  city  the  location  was  later  changed 
to  the  West  Side  of  Manhattan,  and  this  latest 
move  to  Long  Island  City  will  be  a  notable  step 
in  the  improvement  of  one  of  the  important 
thoroughfares   of   greater   New   York. 


Trinity    Sells    Old    Holdings 

Corporation  of  Trinity  Church  sold  the  prop-

The  property  consists  of  six  dwellings  and  a 
vacant  lot.  Plans  for  an  interesting  develop- 
ment will  be  announced  in   a  short  time. 


West  Side  Corner  in  New  Hands 

Col.  A.  R.  Kuser,  a  large  stockholder  in  the 
Fox  Film  Corporation,  purchased  from  the 
Kelly-Springfield  Tire  Co.  the  4-sty  brick  build- 
ing at  the  southeast  corner  of  Tenth  av  and

under  lease  to  the  Fox  Film  Corporation  for  a 
term  of  21  years,  but  that  fact,  according  to

is  one  block  south  of  the  lfl,20n,00(J  Fox  film

used  by  the  Fox  company  in  conjunction  with 
the  main  building  for  studio  purposes.  It  also 
serves  as  a  storage  house  and  headquarters  for

Famous    Estate   Passes 

The  Knolls  on  Chester  Hill  Mount  Vernon, 
N.  Y.,  country  home  of  the  late  James  A. 
Bailey,  the  circus  man,  is  to  be  converted  Into 
a  combination  country  club  and  hotel.  An- 
nouncement to  that  effect  is  made  by  Mayor 
Edwin  W.  Fiske  of  Mount  Vernon.  According 
to  the  latter  the  project  will  be  carried  out 
by  the  Bailey  Park  Hotel  Co.,  which  has  been 
incorporated    to    take    the    property    over. 

Judging  from  the  elaborate  plans  the  estab- 
lishment will  be  modeled  after  the  Westchester- 
Biltmore  Country  Club,  just  completed  by  the 
Bowman  interests,  between  Harrison  and  Rye. 
A  12-sty  structure  containing  500  rooms  is  to 
be  put  up  on  the  Bailey  estate  and  an  18-hole 
golf  course  is  to  be  laid  out.  It  is  estimated 
that  the  entire  project  will  cost  about  $3.- 
000.000. 

The  Knolls  comprises  about  32  acres,  and 
was  mentioned  as  one  of  the  chief  assets  in 
the  circus  man's  estate  in  the  suit  brought  by 
his  niece.  Anna  E.  Robinson,  to  break  hla  will 
on  the  grounds  of  insanity  and  undue  influence. 
The  showman  had  always  felt  a  great  affec- 
tion for  the  place  and  spent  much  of  his  spare 
time  there.  Upon  his  death  he  left  it  to  his 
widow,  who  died  in  1912. 

The  original  owner  of  The  Knolls  was  best 
best  known  as  the  partner  of  P.  T.  Barnum  in 
the  Barnum  &  Bailey  Circus  enterprise.  He 
was  born  with  the  virus  of  the  "big  top"  in  his 
blood  and  at  the  age  of  15  ran  away  from  the 
home  of  his  aunt  in  Detroit,  Mich.,  to  join  a 
circus.  He  was  an  orphan  whose  only  heritage 
was  the  family  name  of  McGinniss.  This,  how- 
ever, he  readily  changed  by  way  of  compliment 
to  Fred  Bailey,  the   manager  of   his  first   show.

William  A.  White  &  Sons  were  the  broker? 
who  placed  the  mortgage  and  the  Title  Guar- 
antee &  Trust  Co.  expects  to  dispose  ot  the 
mortgage  to  investors  in  Guaranteed  First 
Mortgage    Certificates. 

A  few  years  ago  it  would  have  been  very 
difficult  to  place  a  mortgage  ot  this  size  as 
there  were  few  lenders  in  the  country  able  or 
willing  to  make  so  large  a  mortgage  loan.  The 
Title  Guarantee  &  Trust  Co.  has  found  such 
large  numbers  o£  people  eager  to  take  certi- 
ficates ot  varying  amounts  in  these  large  mort- 
gages on  desirable  properties  that  it  finds  no 
embarassment  now  in  handling  *hese  large 
mortgage   loans.

BUILDING    SECTION 


New  York  Society  of  Architects  Holds  Annual  Meeting 

James  Riely  Gordon  Elected  President  for  Seventh  Consecutive  Year  at  Gathering 
"^  IWhich  Indicated  Organization's  Increasing  Sphere  of  Influence 


NEARLY  one  hundred  members  of  the  New  York 
Society  of  Architects  attended  the  annual  meeting 
and  banquet  which  was  held  at  the  Hotel  Astor,  Tues- 
day evening,  May  16.  Those  present  were  extremely  enthusi- 
astic about  the  excellent  progress  made  by  the  organization 
during  the  past  year  and  the  promise  of  greater  constructive 
efforts  to  be  made  during  the  forthcoming  months.  This 
association  has  outlined  an  ambitious  program  of  legislative 
work  for  the  ensuing  year  and  its  activities,  steadily  widening 
in  scope,  are  a  reflection  of  the  growing  interest  in  the  develop- 
ment of  the  organization  along  constructive  lines  and  the 
realization  that  the  Society  is  accomplishing  a  splendid  service 
in  raising  the  business  and  ethical  standards  of  the  architec- 
tural profession. 

President  James  Riely  Gordon  presided  at  the  business 
meeting  which  preceded  the  dinner.  The  annual  reports  of  the 
officers  and  chairmen  of  the  standing  committees  all  showed 
the  New  York  Society  of  Architects  to  be  in  a  flourishing  con- 
dition and  evidenced  a  vast  amount  of  unselfish  interest  and 
effort  on  the  part  of  the  individuals  and  committees  charged 
with  the  conduct  of  the  organization. 

The  reports  of  the  Membership  and  Legislative  Committees 
were  particularly  interesting  and  encouraging.  During  the  past 
twelve  months  the  enrollment  of  this  society  has  grown  stead- 
ily and  consistently  and  its  personnel  now  includes  a  large 
number  of  the  most  prominent  architects   in  this  city. 

The  Legislative  Committee  report  dealt  almost  entirely  with 
the  proceedings  leading  up  to  the  passage  of  the  Architects' 
Registration  Bill  passed  by  the  last  session  of  the  Legislature, 
and  now  law.  This  committee  also  outlined  its  program  for 
legislative  work  contemplated  next  year,  and  impressed  upon 
the  society  the  great  need  for  extreme  watchfulness  to  prevent 
the  passage  of  laws  that  will  be  prejudicial  to  the  best  interests 
of  the  architectural  profession  and  the  building  industry  as  a 
whole,  and  furthermore  asked  for  the  fullest  co-operation  of  ' 
the  members  in  the  committee's  efforts  to  foster  beneficent 
legislation. 

The  Nominating  Committee,  after  reviewing  the  work  of  the 
officers  who  have  served  the  society  during  the  past  year, 
decided  no  more  zealous  or  efficient  officers  could  be  selected, 
and  renominated  James  Riely  Gordon  as  president ;  Adam  E. 
Fisher,  vice-president ;  Edward  W.  Loth,  second  vice-president ; 
Arland  W.  Johnson,  secretary;  Walter  K.  Volckening,  financial 
secretary,  and  Henry  Holder,  treasurer.  These  officers  were 
unanimously  elected  upon  the  subsequent  ballot.  The  election 
of  Mr.  Gordon  as  president  is  the  seventh  consecutive  year  he 
has  been  selected  for  this  honor,  and  the  society  was  a  unit 
in  giving  President  Gordon  credit  for  untiring  labor  in  develop- 
ing and  expanding  the  work  of  the  organization. 

President  Gordon  acted  as  toastmaster  at  the  banquet  whicli 
followed  the  annual  meeting.  Seated  with  him  as  guests  of 
the  New  York  Society  of  Architects  were:  D.  Everett  Waid, 
Treasurer  of  the  .American  Institute  of  Architects  and  Presi- 
dent of  the  New  York  State  Board  of  Examiners  for  the 
Registration  of  Architects;  William  P.  Bannister,  Past  Presi- 
dent of  the  Brooklyn  Chapter,  A.  I.  A.,  and  Secretary  of  the 
State  Board  of  Examiners ;  Frank  Mann,  Tenement  House 
Commissioner;  W.  S.  Faddis,  President  of  the  Building  Trades 
Employers'  Association;   Edward  W.   Loth,  Vice-President   of 


the  New  York  State  Association  of  Architects;  James  B.  Slee, 
President  of  the  Brooklyn  Chapter,  A.  L  A.;  Wm.  Wholean, 
representing  Eidlitz  &  Hulse,  attorneys ;  Hon.  James  N.  Bly, 
Assemblyman  from  Brooklyn,  and  a  member  of  the  society, 
and  W.  P.  Tienken,  of  The  Record  .Mm  Guide. 

After  an  interesting  vaudeville  program  the  toastmaster 
called  upon  several  of  the  guests  for  brief  addresses.  In 
practically  every  instance  these  talks  were  informal  and  dealt 
largely  with  the  recent  passage  of  the  bill  requiring  architects 
practicing  in  this  State  to  register.  The  New  York  Society 
of  Architects  was  in  a  large  measure  responsible  for  the  suc- 
cessful passage  of  this  legislation  which  places  this  State 
among  the  leading  commonwealths  which  have  taken  definite 
action  toward  the  curtailment  of  unqualified  practitioners  in 
this  profession. 

Mr.  Waid,  who  has  been  identified  for  several  years  with  the 
State  Board  having  charge  of  the  registration  of  architects, 
briefly  told  of  the  benefits  accruing  to  the  profession  and  the 
building  industry  through  the  provisions  of  this  measure  and 
explained  some  of  the  quaUfications  required  by  the  Board  of 
Registration.  In  closing  he  highly  complimented  Assemblyman 
Bly  for  his  untiring  interest  and  effort  in  behalf  of  this  bill, 
and  admitted  that  if  it  had  not  been  that  Mr.  Bly  was  also  a 
qualified  architect  as  well  as  a  statesman,  it  is  doubtful  if  the 
bill  would  have  passed  the  Legislature. 

Mr.  Bannister  told  the  members  of  the  society  something 
about  the  machinery  of  registering  the  profession  according 
to  the  provisions  of  the  law.  He  explained  how  every  section 
of  the  law  has  been  passed  upon  by  the  State  Attorney  General, 
and  compared  the  salient  points  of  the  New  York  State  law 
with  similar  legislation  passed  by  other  states  and  showed  how 
the  profession  in  New  York  is  better  protected  against  pro- 
miscuous practitioners. 

Commissioner  Mann,  of  the. Tenement  House  Department, 
complimented  the  society  on  its  growth  during  the  year  and 
its  achievements  along  constructive  legislative  lines,  and  then 
told  how  improved  standards  of  planning  and  design  would 
better  local  living  conditions  and  protect  our  population 
against  poorly  constructed  and  unsanitary  dwellings.  In  pass- 
ing, he  stated  that  all  housing  construction  records  are  being 
broken  by  the  present  building  boom,  that  apartments  now 
under  construction  will  provide  for  approximately  50,000  fam- 
ilies, and  that  the  structures  for  which  plans  have  already  been 
completed  and  filed  but  construction  not  commenced,  will 
furnish  homes  for  another  50,000  families.  These  apartments 
are  in  multi-family  dwellings  located  in  the  five  boroughs  of 
New  York  City,  and  do  not  take  into  consideration  the  large 
number  of  one  and  two-family  houses  either  now  under  con- 
struction or  for  which  plans  have  already  been  filed. 

Assemblyman  Bly  spoke  at  length  upon  the  efforts  leading 
up  to  the  passage  of  the  Registration  Bill  during  the  closing 
days  of  the  session,  and  how  it  was  necessary  to  combat 
prejudices  of  legislators  who  do  not  realize  the  importance  of 
-the  measure  nor  the  effect  its  passage  would  have  in  stimulat- 
ing higher  professional  standards,  to  say  nothing  of  insuring 
safer  construction  throughout  the  State. 

In  conclusion  Mr.  Wholean  spoke  of  the  legal  aspects  of  the 
Registration  Bill,  and  Mr.  Loth  told  of  his  twenty-five  years  of 
experience  in  working  for  this  measure  which  only  became 
law  about  a  month  ago.

N.  Y.  Building  Congress  Inaugurates  Luncheon  Meetings 

Dr.  B.  M.  Anderson,  Economist  of  Chase  National  Bank,  Addresses  Members 

on  Subject  of  "Price  Trend  in  Trade" 


MORE  than  fifty  members  of  the  New  York  Building 
Congress  attended  the  first  of  a  series  of  luncheon 
meetings  arranged  to  keep  the  membership  in  touch 
with  the  activities  and  aims  of  the  organization.  This  luncheon 
was  held  at  the  Engineers'  Club,  Tuesday,  May  9,  and  the  en- 
thusiasm of  those  present  indicated  to  the  officers  that  the  fu- 
ture meetings  scheduled  will  grow  steadily  in  popularity. 

The  luncheon  this  week  was  planned  by  John  Lowry,  Jr., 
chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Surveys,  and  was  addressed  by 
Dr.  Benjamin  M.  Anderson,  Jr.,  economist  of  the  Chase  Na- 
tional Bank.  The  subject  of  Dr.  Anderson's  address  was  "Price 
Trend  in  Trade,"  and  although  the  speaker  did  not  stress  past 
or  current  price  trends  as  they  apply  particularly  to  the  build- 
ing industry,  those  present  obtained  valuable  information  and 
data  that  will  be  useful  in  making  an  analysis  of  the  price 
tendencies  in  the  construction  business. 

Dr.  Anderson  outlined  in  an  interesting  manner  the  history 
of  general  commodity  prices  from  1914,  at  the  time  of  the  out- 
break of  the  war  in  Europe,  to  the  present.  Study  of  the  inde.x 
numbers  for  all  commodities  showed  no  particular  change  dur- 
ing the  latter  part  of  1914  as  a  result  of  the  war,  and  in  the  year 
following  there  was  only  an  average  increase  of  five  per  cent., 
and  Mr.  Anderson  stated  that  the  industrial  slack  at  the  out- 
break of  the  war  was  the  reason  for  the  relatively  small  in- 
crease in  prices. 


The  demands  for  goods,  quickened  by  the  requirements  of 
the  warring  nations,  however,  caused  American  industries  to 
expand  their  facilities  and  utilize  idle  plants,  and  it  was  not 
until  this  happened  that  a  serious  advancing  trend  was  notice- 
able in  commodity  prices.  Toward  the  end  of  the  first  half  of 
1916  out  industries  reached  the  limit  of  aggregate  production, 
and  after  that  the  European  demand  for  clothing,  foodstuffs 
and  war  equipment  rapidly  increased  prices  so  that  at  the  end 
of  the  year  levels  were  approximately  sixteen  per  cent,  above 
pre-war  times.  As  conditions  grew  worse  on  the  other  side 
during  1917  prices  advanced  rapidly  and  at  the  close  of  the  year 
were  eighty  per  cent,  above  pre-war  levels.  From  this  there 
was  a  slight  decline  for  a  month  or  so,  but  it  was  followed  by 
a  further  advancing  movement  which  carried  commodity  prices 
to  106  per  cent,  above  normal.  The  armistice  brought  still 
higher  prices  and  it  was  the  general  opinion  of  economists 
that  the  return  of  soldiers  and  sailors  would  increase  produc- 
tion and  consequently  reduce  prices.  This  did  not  occur,  how- 
ever, and  we  did  not  reach  the  peak  of  the  price  advance  until 
some  months  after  the  war  had  ceased.  The  peak  of  war-time 
prices  was  passed  during  the  period  when  the  United  States 
was  in  its  most  extravagant  mood,  and  according  to  Brad- 
street's  and  other  recogniz,ed  publications,  the  post-war  high

A  Small  Industrial  Project  of  Considerable  Architectural  Merit 


ARCHITECTURAL  distinction  in  a  relatively  small  indus- 
trial project  is  unfortunately  so  infrequent  as  to  become 
worthy  of  comment  when  such  an  operation  is  discovered. 
There  are  many  large  industrial  plants  scattered  about  the 
country  which  have  become  landmarks,  noteworthy  for  archi- 
tectural treatment  which  almost  seems  to  remove  them  from 
the  strictly  utilitarian  into  the  realm  of  the  artistic.  It  is 
not  often,  however,  that  a  factory  owner,  contemplating  a 
small  building  in  a  more  or  less  obscure  location,  has  a  suffi- 
cient aesthetic  sensibility  to  desire  and  demand  a  building  so 
designed  as  to  portray  his  own  regard  for  better  things  while 
at  the  same  time  elevating  the  tone  of  its  environment. 

John  J.  Burns,  president  of  the  National  Marble  &  Slate 
Corporation,  when  this  concern  decided  upon  the  construction 
of  a  modern  marble  and  slate  working  plant,  sought  the  advise 
of  Hugh  Tallant,  a  well-known  architect,  who  designed  a  build- 
ing of  modest  dimensions  but  which  in  architectural  treatment 
will  add  greatly  to  the  appearance  of  the  neighborhood  and 
materially  increase  the  value  of  surrounding  properties. 

The  new  building  for  the  National  Marble  &  Slate  Corpora- 
tion will  be  located  at  617  to  619  West  Forty-eighth  street  on 
a  plot  50x100  feet,  leased  from  James  T.  Stanley  for  a  term  of 
twenty-one  years,  with  renewal,  and  option  to  purchase.  The  . 
building  will  be  one  story  in  height  with  ground  dimensions  of 
50x80  feet.  The  front  will  be  of  face  brick  and  the  arched 
window  and  door  openings  will  give  the  structure  a  decidadly 
Gothic  appearance. 

This  factory  will  be  the  only  one  of  its  kind  on  the  west  side 
of  Manhattan,  and  its  location  and  equipment  will  make  it 
especially  adaptable  for  efficient  and  rapid  service  to  archi- 
tects and  contractors.  The  plant  will  provide  work  for  a 
force    of    about    twenty    skilled   marble    cutters    and    polishers.

PROPOSED  FACTORY  BUILDING  IN  48TH  STREET 
The  equipment  will  be  of  the  most  modern  type  obtainable, 
and  will  consist  of  cutting,  planing  and  polishing  machines, 
crushers,  etc.,  all  electrically  operated  by  direct  connected 
motors.  Dock  and  rail  facilities  are  at  hand  to  insure  prompt 
service  to  out  of  town  customers. 

The  National  Marble  &  Slate  Corporation  will  furnish  and 
install  fine  interior  marble,  tile,  slate,  mosaic  and  terrazzo  work 
in  high  class  building  projects  and  will  also  manufacture  a 
high  grade  of  cement  tile  in  various  colors  and  designs,  for 
which  there  is  a  rapidly  growing  demand. 

Construction  of  this  plant  will  be  started  immediately,  and  it 
is  anticipated  will  be  ready  for  operation  early  in  September. 


Scope  of  the  Lumber  Industry 


THE  lumber  and  wood-working  industries  in   the  United  tonnage  of  the  American  railroads,  according  to  Charles  Hill, 

States    represent    an    investment    of    $12,000,000,000,    and  general  manager.  Southern  Pine  Sales  Corp.  of  New  York,  in 

employ  approximately  1,000,000  men;  their  annual  railroad  an  address  delivered  at  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Southern  Pine 

freight  bill  is  approximately  $170,000,000,  paid  for  transporting  Association  held  recently  in  New  Orleans.     Lumber  ranks  first 

200,000,000  tons,  which  is  more  than   10  per  cent,  of  the  total  among  the  nation's  industries  in  the  number  of  employees.

Local  Building  Showing  Effect  of  Serious  Brick  Situation 


Construction  Statistics,  Compiled  by  F, 
Both  Contemplated  New  Work  and 

ALTHOUGH  the  weekly  building  figures  for  New  York 
City  show  slight  reductions  as  compared  with  pre- 
vious weeks,  a  condition  largely  attributable  to  the 
scarcity  of  brick  and  the  inadequate  labor  supplies,  there  is 
practically  no  change  in  the  volume  of  activity  throughout 
the  New  York  territory  as  a  whole.  Figures  tabulated  by  the 
F.  W.  Dodge  Company,  covering  newly  contemplated  con- 
struction and  contracts  awarded  in  New  York  State  and  New 
Jersey,  north  of  Trenton,  show  that  during  the  nineteenth 
week  of  this  year  674  new  building  and  engineering  operations 
were  reported  in  the  early  planning  stages.  This  work  will 
involve  an  outlay  of  approximately  $21,800,700.  During  the 
same  period  the  contracts  awarded  in  this  territory  numbered 
445  and  represented  a  total  expenditure  of  $16,448,300. 

Reported  activity  in  Greater  New  York  during  the  week  of 
May  S  to  12  inclusive  involved  262  projects,  for  which  plans 
are  being  prepared  and  which  will  call  for  a  total  outlay  of 
$7,211,200.  The  contracts  actually  awarded  in  the  city  during 
the  week  numbered  112  and  will  amount  to  a  total  of  $8,086,600.

Contract  Awards  During  Past  Week 

The  list  of  262  building  and  engineering  operations  reported 
as  being  planned  for  locations  in  Greater  New  York  was  com- 
posed of  the  following  groups:  40  business  projects  such  as 
stores,  offices,  lofts,  commercial  garages,  etc.,  $2,294,500;  5  edu-

CURRENT    BUILDING    OPERATIONS 


SCARCITY  of  common  brick  has  slowed 
down  local  construction  to  some  ex- 
tent, and  during-  the  past  "weelv  the  chief 
topic  of  conversation  among-  builders  and 
allied  interests  was  the  difficulty  of  secur- 
ing materials  and  the  bonus  demands  of 
certain  classes  of  building  trades  labor. 
As  far  as  the  supply  of  common  brick  is 
concerned,  however,  both  manufacturers 
and  dealers  are  assuring  the  industry  that 
with  a  little  patience  all  of  the  require- 
ments will  be  met.  According-  to  current 
reports  the  Hudson  River  common  brick 
plants  are  now  -working  at  all  possible 
speed  and  brick  of  this  season's  make  will 
undoubtedly  be  on  the  market  within  the 
next   two    weeks,   and    possibly   less. 

Coniiuon  Brick — Demand  for  this  com- 
modity is  intense,  and  as  fast  as  cargoes 
arrive  they  are  being  taken  out  of  the 
market  by  dealers  who  are  rushed  with 
orders  and  without  stocks  to  fill  them. 
Quite  a  volume  of  brick  arrived  during  the 
week,  and  the  situation  is  easier  than  it 
was  a  week  ago,  but  the  crisis  is  not  over 
yet,  and  there  will  be  a  shortage  for  a 
few  weeks  to  come.  The  strike  of  the 
brickmakers  in  the  Haverstraw  yards  has 
been  settled  and  the  workers  returned  to 
their  jobs  Wednesday  morning.  iVIanu- 
facturers  are  doing  their  utmost  to  speed 
up  production  and  they  are  working  their 
machines  to  full  capacity  and  running  as 
many  as  they  have  men  to  operate.  Witli- 
in  the  next  weeli  or  so  new  brick  will 
likely  begin  to  arrive  and  after  thal^the 
producers  promise  a  steady  supply  ade- 
quate to  all  demands.  Common  brick 
prices  are  exceedingly  firm  but  no  ad- 
vance in  the  wholesale  market  has  been 
reported  during  the  week.  The  level  is 
now  $20  a  thousand  to  dealers  in  cargo 
lots. 

Sumiuary — Transactions  in  the  North 
River  brick  market  for  the  week  ending 
Thursday.  May  18,  1922.  Conditions  of 
market:  Demand  heavy;  prices  very  firm 
and  unchanged.  Quotations:  Hudson 
Rivers,  $20  a  thousand  to  dealers  in 
cargo  lots  alongside  dock.  Number  of 
cargoes  arrived,  41;  sales,  41.  Distribu- 
tion: Manhattan,  16;  the  Bronx,  2;  Brook- 
lyn,   15;   New   Jersey   points,    6;   Astoria,   2. 

Lumber  —  Marliet  conditions  have 
changed  but  slightly  during  the  past 
week.  Tile  demand  for  lumber  is  keen 
and  showing  marked  signs  of  increasing 
within  the  next  few  weeks.  A  large 
volume  of  new  construction  is  being  un- 
dertaken and  reports  from  suburban  sec- 
tions indicate  extensive  activity  along 
residential  lines.  Lumber  prices  are  firm 
and  likely  to  hold  at  their  present  levels 
for  some   time  to  come  as  tlie  current  or- 


ders are  in  excess  of  production  and  as  a 
consequence  the  market  is  not  over- 
stocked in  some  items.  Report  comes 
from  "Washington  that  a  comprehensive 
program  of  commercial  and  manufactur- 
ing simplification  lias  been  proposed  by 
tlie  National  Lumber  Manufacturers'  As- 
sociation to  Secretary  Hoover,  and  as  a 
result  he  has  called  a  conference  of  rep- 
resentatives of  both  the  soft  and  hard 
wood  lumber  manufacturing  associations, 
railways,  building  engineers,  architects 
and  the  wood  consuming  industries  and 
retailers   of   lumber,   to   meet   in   Wasiiing- 


ton  during  the  week  of  May  22.  The 
lumber  industry  proposed  to  effect  a 
sweeping  reorganization  of  its  grades, 
dimensions  and  their  simplification  that 
would  affect  millions  of  makers,  handlers 
and  consumers  of  lumber.  The  most 
novel  proposal  is  that  of  putting  the  in- 
dustry as  a  whole  behind  the  stated 
quality  of  the  product  of  each  of  its 
members  by  branding  grades  on  every 
piece    of    lumber    sold.

MATERIALS    AND    SUPPLIES 


is  a  vast  amount  of  new  work  in  prospect 
and  quite  some  tonnage  is  now  being 
figured.  The  local  shortage  of  common 
brick  has  slowed  down  construction 
somewhat,  and  as  a  result,  contractors 
are  going  slowly  about  steel  awards. 
Prices  are  exhibiting  a  marked  upward 
tendency  with  mill  quotations  very  firm 
and  fabricators  quoting  from  $67  to  $75 
per  ton,   erected. 

Roofing  and  Building  Papers — Reports 
from  the  outlying  sections  of  New  York 
City  and  from  the  suburban  districts 
show  a  steady  and  consistent  demand  for 


these  materials.  The  large  program  of 
residential  building  in  the  semi-rural  sec- 
tions is  largely  responsible  for  the  ac- 
tivity of  this  market.  Stocks  are  not 
heavy  but  seem  sufficient  for  all  demands 
and   prices   are   very   firm. 

Ca.st  Iron  Piiie — Business  in  this  line  is 
extremely  active,  and  as  a  result  the 
Eastern  plants  are  busy  at  nearly  100  per 
cent  of  capacity.  Although  municipal 
buying  has  dropped  off  to  some  extent 
during  the  past  few  weeks  the  demand 
from  private  sources  is  very  heavy  and 
from    all    accounts   will   continue   through-

out  the  next  month  or  so.  Considerable 
new  municipal  business  is  in  sight,  but 
the  chances  are  that  it  will  not  be  real- 
ized for  bids  for  a  month  or  so.  Prices 
are  very  firm  and  rumors  persist  to  the 
effect  that  quotations  will  be  advanced  at 
any  time,  but  up  to  the  present  no  official 
announcement  of  higher  prices  has  been 
made.  New  Yorlv  quotations  are  as  fol- 
lows: 6  in,  and  larger,  $48.50  per  net  ton; 
4  in.  and  5  in.,  $53.80,  and  3  in.,  $63.80, 
with  Class  A  and  gas  pipe  $4  extra  per 
ton. 

AVindow  Glass — Increased  interest  is 
developing  in  this  line  and  within  the 
next  few  weeks  it  is  likely  that  local 
demand  will  reach  its  season's  height. 
Throughout  the  city  there  is  a  vast 
amount  of  apartment  house  construction 
now  about  ready  for  glass  and  other 
projects  are  coming  along  steadily  which 
will  maintain  an  active  demand  for  some 
time  to  come.  Stocks  are  plentiful  and 
prices    are    very   firm. 

Nails — The  market  is  spotty,  and  in 
some  sections  business  is  excellent,  while 
in  others  interest  is  lagging  to  some  ex- 
tent. Stocks  are  adequate  to  meet  all 
current  demands  and  mill  deliveries  are 
satisfactory.  Prices  are  variable  to  a 
degree  and  there  is  considerable  differ- 
ence in  quotations  according  to  locality. 
New  York  prices  range  upward  from 
$3.35  base,  per  keg  on  wire  nails,  and 
from  $3.90  base,  per  keg  on  cut  nails. 

Builders'  Hardware— The  recent  heavy 
demand  for  hardware  has  depleted  stocks 
to  a  considerable  extent  and  manufac- 
turers are  being  pushed  to  keep  abreast 
of  their  orders  from  jobbers.  The  local 
building  season  is  now  at  its  height  and 
the  demand  for  all  items  of  hardware  is 
exceptionally  keen.  There  are  persistent 
rumors  of  higlier  prices  in  the  near  fu- 
ture, but  as  yet  no  changes  have  been 
announced  by  either  manufacturers  or 
dealers. 

Lin.seed  Oil — The  local  demand  has  im- 
proved greatly  during  the  past  week  or 
so,  and  as  a  result  jobbers  are  in  a  more 
optimistic  frame  of  mind  than  they  have 
been  for  many  months  past.  Prices  are 
very  firm  and  slightly  higher  than  they 
were  owing  to  the  advance  announced  by 
the  crushers.  Dealers  are  in  anticipation 
of  a  steady  increase .  in  demand  and  as 
stocks  are  relatively  light  prices  are  ex- 
pected to  remain  firm  and  may  possibly 
advance. 

Electrical  Supplies — Wiring  material 
sales  continue  to  hold  up  well,  and  as  a 
general  thing  both  manufacturers  and 
dealers  are  satisfied  with  the  prevailing 
market  conditions.  Orders  are  increas- 
ing somewhat  in  botli  number  and  size.

Misrepresenting  the  Brick  Situation 

Architects,  contractors  and  prospective  builders  who  are 
capable  of  analyzing  the  current  underlying  conditions  in 
the  local  building  industry  place  little  credence  in  the  con- 
tinued claims  that  construction  is  being  impeded  by  a 
"famine"  of  common  brick  and  by  excessive  costs  for  some 
of  the  basic  materials.  Reports  gathered  from  authentic 
sources  during  the  past  week  show  only  a  negligible  amount 
of  active  building  being  held  up  because  of  the  so-called 
brick  "famine,"  and  the  supply  is  daily  improving. 

Common  brick  of  the  current  season's  manufacture  is 
now  coming  into  this  city  and  additional  barges  are  being 
loaded  with  new  brick  as  rapidly  as  it  can  be  taken  from  the 
kilns  with  safety  to  handlers.  Brick  manufacturers  assure 
the  building  public  that  within  the  next  week  at  most  the 
supply  of  this  material  will  be  adequate  for  all  requirements 
and  that  construction  can  now  proceed  without  fear  of  fur- 
ther hindrance  because  of  a  scarcity  of  brick. 

It  is  unfortunate  that  the  general  public  depends  so  much 
for  its  information  as  to  local  building  conditions  upon  what 
appears  in  the  daily  newspapers.  Recent  press  statements, 
tending  to  show  that  a  large  volume  of  construction  is  at  a 
standstill  because  of  a  famine  in  brick,  have  been  highly 
colored.  The  facts  show  no  justification  for  the  cry  of  a 
brick  famine  nor  is  there  necessity  for  importing  coinmon 
brick  from  Europe,  as  suggested  by  Samuel  Untermyer, 
in  order  to  supply  the  local  market  and  break  the  "grip"  he 
asserts  brick  manufacturers  and  dealers  have  upon  the  build- 
ing industry  by  limiting  the  supply  and  maintaining 
excessive  prices. 

Experienced  builders  place  little  faith  in  the  ability  of 
anyone  to  bring  foreign  brick  into  the  New  York  market 
in  successful  competition  with  the  American  product.  First, 
because  the  cost  of  transportation  and  handling,  and  the 
difficulties  of  distributing  these  cargoes  will  more  than  ofifset 
whatever  base  price  advantage  may  be  obtained,  and  second- 
ly, because  Counsel  Untermyer  has  also  apparently  over- 
looked the  fact  that  Europe  may  not  have  brick  for  sale  in 
sufficient  volume  to  become  a  factor  in  regulating  the  price 
for  the  domestic  product.  It  is  a  mattftr  of  record  that  at 
present  there  are  inquiries  in  the  hands  of  Hudson  River 
brick  manufacturers  for  brick  for  export  to  Europe.  There 
is  little  likelihood  of  getting  brick  from  Europe  while  this 
commodity  is  badly  needed  abroad. 

Another  thing  seemingly  overlooked  by  Mr.  Untermyer 
is  the  fact  that  European  brick  differs  radically  in  dimen- 
sions from  the  commonly-used  American  product.  These 
foreign  brick  cannot  be  used  without  redesigning  buildings 
already  planned  or  making  important  structural  changes  in 
building  now  under  construction.  This,  while  jxissible  if 
there  were  a  real  emergency,  would  be  exfjemely  uneco- 
nomic because  of  the  time  and  additional  cost  involved. 

At  a  mass  meeting  held  in  the  Hotel  Pennsylvania  recent- 
ly Mr.  Untermyer  reiterated  his  charges  of  gross  profiteer- 
ing against  the  brick  manufacturers  and  material  dealers, 
and  followed  this  with  similar  misleading  statements  in  his 
memorial  to   Congress  in  reference  to  tariff  revisions  on 


building     materials     imported     from     foreign     countries. 

The  axiom  that  "Truth  is  mighty  and  shall  prevail"  must 
be  inoperative  as  far  as  the  building  material  situation  is 
concerned,  for  otherwise  Counsel  Untermyer  hardly  could 
have  stated,  as  he  did  in  both  his  report  to  the  Legislature 
and  in  his  memorial  to  Congress,  that  "there  is  an  excess  of 
fifty  per  cent,  in  the  prices  being  exacted  for  building  mate- 
rials beyond  what  would  yield  a  fair  profit,  and  in  some 
special  branches  of  the  business,  as  for  instance,  that  of 
brick  and  sand,  the  excess  is  not  less  than  one  hundred  per 
cent." 

This  statement  probably  was  based  upon  the  testimony  of 
Marvyn  Scudder,  expert  accountant  for  the  Lockwood  Com- 
mittee in  its  investigation  of  the  building  material  situation, 
which  was  given  after  an  examination  of  the  books  of  one 
of  the  leading  brick  manufacturers  of  the  Hudson  River 
district.  This  testimony  was  included  in  the  recent  report 
of  the  Lockwood  Committee  to  the  Legislature,  but  it  was 
not  qualified  in  any  respect  because  of  facts  subsequently 
pointed  out,  nor  did  it  show  clearly  just  how  these  percen- 
tages were  arrived  at. 

On  May  28,  1921,  The  Record  and  Guide  printed  state- 
ments from  Wright  D.  Goss,  President  of  the  Empire  Brick 
&  Supply  Company,  who  was  charged  by  Mr.  Untermyer 
with  being  cine  of  the  most  heartless  of  the  "profiteering" 
brick  manufacturers  and  dealers,  in  which  the  testimony  of 
Scudder  was  shown  to  be  grossly  misleading,  if  not  alto- 
gether untrue.  In  the  same  article  were  printed  the  true 
facts  as  to  the  profits  obtained  by  brick  makers,  based  upon 
the  reports  of  expert  accountants  of  the  highest  reputation, 
and  upon  which  the  Federal  Income  tax  payments  of  this 
firm  were  made. 

A  study  of  these  figures,  printed  about  a  year  ago,  will 
show  that  the  Lockwood  Committee  report  does  not  give  to 
the  public  the  true  facts  about  the  brick  industry.  Fortu- 
nately the  major  portion  of  the  building  industry  is  familiar 
with  the  truth  of  the  situation  and  is  only  slightly  concerned 
about  the  future  supply  of  common  brick  and  its  price 
trend.  These  interests  realize  that  with  a  little  patience 
all  of  their  requirements  will  be  supplied.  It  is  the  pros- 
pective builders  of  homes  and  other  buildings  who  seem- 
ingly are  being  misled  as  to  actual  facts  because  sensational 
reports  of  how  the  Lockwood  Committee  is  working  for  the 
amelioration  of  the  ills  of  the  construction  industry  are 
regarded  by  busy  editors  of  daily  newspapers  as  more  inter- 
esting reading  than  the  actual  facts. 


"Our  Country  Finding  Itself  Again" 

President  Harding's  announcement  of  the  advent  of  the 
revival  of  business,  made  to  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  of 
the  United  States  at  its  annual  convention  held  last  week 
at  the  National  Capital,  was  the  official  utterance  of  a  belief 
that  has  been  gaining  ground  in  commercial  circles  as  the 
year  progressed.  That  the  President  merely  stated  what 
business  men  generally  had  begun  to  recognize  as  the  actual 
condition  of  trade  did  not  detract  from  the  importance  of 
his  summing  up  of  the  situation.     Many  sources  of  infer- 


646 


RECORD    AND    GUIDE 


May  21,  1922 


mation  unavailable  to  private  citizens  are  open  to  President 
Harding  and  he  is  known  to  have  been  giving  considerable 
of  his  time  to  the  study  of  some  of  the  problems  confronting 
business  at  this  very  critical  period.  For  this  reason  his  con- 
clusions, reflecting  as  they  did  the  opinions  of  the  majority 
of  those  at  the  convention,  solidified  the  cheerful  feeling 
that  had  prevailed  and  sent  the  three  thousand  members  of 
the  Chamber  to  their  homes  in  all  parts  of  the  country, 
prepared  for  the  vigorous  prosecution  of  their  various  lines 
of  business. 

That  commercial  affairs  are  at  last  decisively  if  some- 
what slowly  on  the  upturn  is  evidenced  in  a  number  of  ways 
by  which  the  business  world  measures  progress  or  retro- 
gression. Steel  manufacturing  has  reached  sevent>'-five 
per  cent  of  capacity,  with  prices  rising.  This  output  equals 
pre-war  production  taking  into  account  the  increased  capac- 
ity of  the  mills.  Copper  mines  are  again  being  worked  as 
the  enormous  stocks  accumulated  near  the  close  of  the  war 
diminish  rapidly  because  of  the  increased  fabrication  of 
articles  of  peace  time  use.  The  New  York  City  Employ- 
ment Bureau,  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  the  Salvation  Army,  the 
Knights  of  Columbus  and  the  American  Legion,  as  well 
as  the  United  States  Department  of  Labor  and  the  State 
Labor  Bureau,  all  of  which  organizations  have  been  in 
close  touch  with  the  employment  situation  during  the  period 
of  readjustment,  agree  that  there  has  been  a  revival  of  in- 
dustry which  has  cut  unemployment  in   New  York   City 


from  500,000  in  October  last  year  to  200,000  at  the  pres- 
ent time.  Construction  work  still  reaches  record  figures 
although  wages  and  material  prices  refuse  to  come  down. 
There  is  great  activity  in  New  York  City  real  estate,  which 
indicates  a  return  of  money  to  the  field  which  has  long 
held  first  place  with  conservative  investors. 

The  strike  of  coal  miners,  although  menacing,  has  so  far 
failed  to  disorganize  industry.  On  the  contrary  the  statis- 
tics of  car  loadings  proves  that  general  business  is  im- 
proving in  spite  of  the  strike.  Loadings  of  freight  of 
all  descriptions  for  the  week  ending  May  13  were  heavier 
than  for  the  previous  week,  and  for  the  corresponding 
week  last  year,  although  coal  loadings  were  less  than  one- 
half  those  of  a  year  ago.  General  merchandising  is  there- 
fore improving  rapidly  and  this  movement  is  likely  to  be 
accelerated  by  the  order  of  the  Interstate  Commerce  Com- 
mission for  a  ten  per  cent  horizontal  cut  in  freight  rates. 

These  signs  bear  out  the  President's  assertion  that  the 
country  is  on  the  threshold  of  a  new  era.  "Undoubtedly," 
he  adds,  "There  is  more  than  a  mere  business  revival  in 
sight.     Our  country  is  finding  itself  again." 

Again  American  pluck  and  energy,  persistence  and  busi- 
ness aptitude,  are  overcoming  what  seemed  to  be  insur- 
mountable difficulties.  It  is  inevitable  that  the  enthusiasm 
evoked  by.  President  Harding's  cheering  pronouncement  to 
the  Chamber  of  Commerce  will  further  stimulate  business 
throughout  the  whole  country. 


Tenement  House  Commissioner  Mann  Sees  End  of  Housing  Shortage 


TN  a  statement  made  last  Wednesday  before  the  New  York 
Society  of  Architects,  Frank  Mann,  Tenement  House  Com- 
missioner, said  the  records  of  his  department  showed  that  at 
least  50,000  apartments  in  multi-family  buildings  are  now  under 
construction  in  Greater  New  York  and  that  plans  for  an  equal 
number  in  addition,  already  have  been  filed  with  his  department, 
the  majority  of  which  are  likely  to  be  started  within  the  next 
month  or  so.  This  will  provide  in  the  neighborhood  of  100,000 
new  living  units  in  this  city  in  apartment  houses,  and  does  not 
take  into  consideration  the  large  number  of  accommodations 
provided  in  the  one  and  two-family  dwellings  already  erected 
or  under  construction. 

Figures  tabulated  by  the  Tenement  House  Department  show 
that  the  work  actually  under  way  on  April  10  will  cost  approxi- 
mately $129,000,000,  and  will  provide  a  total  of  nearly  115,000 
rooms  in  multi-family  dwellings  of  various  types.     The  follow- 


ing table  shows  how  the  current  apartment  house  construction, 
under  way  on  April  10,  is  distributed  by  boroughs:

Commissioner  Mann  stated  in  connection  with  the  apartment 
house  construction  movement  that  in  his  opinion  there  is  little 
need  for  further  worry  about  a  housing  shortage.  The  con- 
struction now  under  way,  plus  that  already  completed  under 
the  Tax  Exemption  Ordinance,  is  sufficient,  he  declared,  to 
provide  for  the  population  of  this  city  and  leave  a  surplus. 


Board  of  Estimate  Considers  Cost  of  Northern  Boulevard 


THE  Borough  Planning  Committee  of  the  Queensboro  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce,  of  which  Alrick  H.  Man  is  Chairman, 
recommended  at  a  public  hearing  before  the  Board  of  Esti- 
mate last  Friday  that  50  per  cent,  of  the  cost  of  widening  Northern 
Boulevard  (Broadway)  from  Cemetery  Lane,  Flushing,  to  the  Nas- 
sau County  line,  be  made  a  city-wide  charge,  while  20  per  cent, 
should  be  assessed  upon  the  Borough  of  Queens  and  30  per  cent, 
upon  the  local  area  benefitted,  instead  of  30  per  cent,  upon  the  city 
as  a  whole,  30  per  cent,  upon  the  Borough  of  Queens  and  40  per 
cent,  upon  the  local  area,  as  has  been  recommended  by  the  Chief 
Engineer. 

The  report  of  the  Borough  Planning  Committee  to  the  Board  of 
Directors  of  the  Queensboro  Chamber  of  Commerce  states : 

"Your  committee  has  had  under  consideration  the  proposed  wid- 
ening of  Broadway,  Flushing,  otherwise  called  Northern  Bouleard, 
from  Cemetery  Lane  to  the  Nassau  County  line.  This  street  con- 
stitutes the  main  east  and  west  thoroughfare  of  northern  Long 
Island,  and  is  extensively  used  by  residents  of  the  Borough  of  Man- 
hattan and  outlying  points  to  reach  the  north  shore  of  Long  Island 


beyond  the  city  limits. 

"Only  a  trifling  portion  of  the  present  traffic  through  the  street 
originates  in  the  Borough  of  Queens,  and  a  very  much  less  per- 
centage is  tributary  to  the  abutting  property.  The  abutting  Property 
owners  do  not  favor  the  widening  of  the  street,  claiming  that  the 
traffic  is  detrimental  to  their  comfort  and  enjoyment  and  to  the  value 
of  their  property,  and  that  the  widening  of  the  street  will  increase 
the  hardships  which  result  from  dust  and  noise  which  extends  far 
into  the  night. 

"In  the  case  of  the  widening  of  Merrick  Road,  it  was  agreed 
by  the  city  that  30  per  cent,  was  a  fair  proportion  to  be  borne  by 
the  local  area   of  assessment.     Your  committee  is  of  the  opinion 

"As  to  the  balance  of  the  cost,  it  does  not  seem  logical  that  any 
large  fraction  of  it  should  be  placed  upon  the  Borough  of  Queens, 
inasmuch  as  no  property  in  the  Borough  of  Queens,  except  the 
portion  which  is  directly  tributary  to  the  avenue,  is  benefitted  any 
more  than  other  property  throughout  the  city.  Our  recommenda- 
tion is  that  20  per  cent,  of  the  total  be  borne  by  the  Borough  of 
Queens,  and  the  balance,  SO  per  cent.,  by  the  city  at  large."

REAL    ESTATE    SECTION 


Remarkable  "Comeback"  of  Values  in  Old  Retail  District 

Rentals  in  Section  from  Fourteenth  to  Twenty-Third  Streets  and  Sixth  Avenue 
Now  on  Basis  Prevailing  Before  Department  Stores  Moved  Northward 


THE  return  of  trade  strength  to  the  mercantile  centers  of 
Fourteenth  Street,  Twenty-third  Street  and  Sixth  Ave- 
nue between  those  points  is  one  of  the  significant  phases 
of  the  real  estate  market  of  this  era.  Twenty-third  Street  has 
not  experienced  as  full  a  restoration  as  have  the  other  two 
centers  mentioned,  but  it  is  coming  along  even  though  more 
slowly.  Rentals  in  Fourteenth  Street  and  in  Sixth  Avenue 
are  about  the  same  as  they  were  a  decade  or  more  ago,  when 
numbers  of  the  large  retail  stores  moved  a  mile  northward. 
It  has  been  a  gradual  ascent  from  the  marked  decline  in  values 
that  then  commenced.  The  fact  that  it  has  been  gradual  has 
made   the   return   sounder   and   surer. 

The  real  estate  decline  in  those  neighborhoods  was  caused 
purely  by  the  sudden  removal  of  largo  establishments  and  the 
leaving  of  millions  of  square  feet  of  vacant  business  space 
behind  them.  The  circumstance  created  consternation  among 
investors.  To  have  various  large  department  store  buildings 
abandoned  and  stand  empty  for  a  considerable  period  was 
bound  to  have  a  depressing  eflect  on  adjacent  holdings 
through  the  lack  of  shopping  traffic  which  the  old  conditions 
created.  On  Sixth  Avenue  especially  the  large  vacant  build- 
ings were  sub-divided  into  loft  and  manufacturing  spaces. 
Several  of  these  would  have  continued  as  department  stores 
if  it  had  not  been  for  the  panic  of  1907.  Some  of  them  were 
under  one  ownership,  although  they  bore  separate  firm  names. 
These  were  all  closed  permanently.  The  panic  accentuated 
the  trade  movement  that  had  begun   shortly  before. 

Following  was  the  long  period  of  readjustment  of  neigh- 
borhood mercantile  conditions,  when  the  new  purposes  for 
which  these  buildings  would  be  used  was  being  determined. 
Caution,  foresight  and  exceptional  judgment  were  required  to 
pull  these  large  properties  through  along  the  right  lines.  It 
has  been  done  and  it  proves  the  inherent  value  of  real  prop- 
erty on  any  prominent  thoroughfare  of  this  city.  It  is  another 
powerful  demonstration  that  New  York  real  estate,  properly 
manipulated   and   managed,    is   never   down   and   out. 

Except  for  the  fact  that  owners  of  the  fee  to  certain  large 
department-store  building  sites  in  this  region  demanded  un- 
warranted rental  increases  on  renewals  of  leaseholds  there 
might  not  have  been  the  pronounced  northward  movement 
from  that  section  in  the  first  place.  It  was  a  section  of  the  city 
situated  along  the  lines  of  least  traffic  resistance.  The  Sixth 
Avenue  elevated  railroad  has  stations  and  always  had  them  at 
Fourteenth  Street  and  at  Twenty-third  Street.  The  route 
tapped  and  still  taps  the  entire  territory  north  of  Twenty- 
third  Street,  Staten  Island  to  the  South,  Brooklyn  by  bridge 
connections  and  the  five  suburban  counties  of  New  Jersey 
and  the  country  beyond  by  connecting  with  the  North  River 
ferries  downtown  and  the  Twenty-third  Street  ferry.  The 
West  Side  contributed  much  business,  too. 

Since  the  era  of  change  transpired  in  the  region  new  traffic 
conditions  have  strengthened  it.  The  Hudson  River  tubes 
run  under  Sixth  Avenue,  with  stations  at  Fourteenth  and  at 
Twenty-third  Streets,  the  Broadway  subway  has  stations  at  the 
same  thoroughfares,  and  the  nearly-completed  Fourteenth- 
Street-Greenpoint  route  of  the  subway  will  pour  traffic  into 
the  section.  The  Fourteenth-Street  line  of  surface  cars  tie 
the  Eastern  District  of  Brooklyn  to  it  by  way  of  the  Williams- 
burg Bridge.  The  original  subway  route  also  has  a  station  at 
Fourth  Avenue  and  Fourteenth  Street  and  within  easy  reach 


of  the  old  shopping  center.  From  the  standpoint  of  accessibility 
the  retail  exodus  from  its  old  surroundings  is  declared  by  some 
shrewd  real  estate  operators  to  have  been  a  decided  mistake. 

The  large  retail  stores  that  have  remained  downtown  are 
doing  a  bigger  business  than  in  the  past.  Hearn  &  Son  have 
never  regretted  remaining  in  Fourteenth  Street.  John  Wana- 
maker,  whose  establishment  is  even  farther  south,  is  satisfied 
with  the  progress  he  is  making  at  the  old  stand  established  by 
A.  T.  Stewart  more  than  fifty  years  ago.  John  Daniell  & 
Sons  still  hold  forth  strongly  in  their  original  quarters  nearby. 
New  retail  firms  have  come  into  Fourteenth  Street  and  into 
Sixth  Avenue.  Browning,  King  &  Co.  are  busy  at  their  old 
stand  on   Cooper  Square. 

There  is  another  consideration.  The  large  establishments 
which  went  northward  to  Thirty-fourth  Street  and  beyond 
abandoned  the  existing  buildings  only  to  establish  a  much 
greater  overhead  charge  elsewhere.  They  have  no  better  nor 
more  complete  rapid  transit  facilities  in  their  new  locations 
than  now  obtained  in  the  old  ones.  They  did  not  have  them  at 
the  time.  Since  they  departed  the  Pennsylvania  Station  has 
been  built  and  joined  to  the  Seventh-Avenue  Subway  and  the 
latter  joins  the  station  at  Fourteenth  Street  by  one  express 
run  of  less  than  three  minutes.  A  few  minutes'  run  on  a  local  to 
Twenty-third  Street  brings  that  street  within  easy  reach.  The 
large  retail  stores  are  less  concentrated  than  they  were  in  the 
past.    There  is  more  walking  between  stores  for  shoppers. 

Since  the  era  when  most  of  the  large  stores  were  in  the  part 
of  the  city  mentioned  there  been  an  increase  of  eighty  per  cent, 
in  the  residential  population  south  of  Twenty-third  Street  on 
the  West  Side.  The  Seventh  Avenue  subway  route  has  caused 
a  rehabilitation  of  Greenwich  Village  and  the  region  just  to 
the  north  of  it.  There  is  more  of  a  trend  to  apartment  houses 
in  that  direction  and  many  old  dwellings  whose  future  was  un- 
certain have  been  remodeled  for  occupancy.  The  old  Chelsea 
section  is  in  stronger  favor  than  it  has  been  for  a  generation 
or  more.  The  recent  leasing  of  the  old  Hotel  Chelsea,  on  West 
Twenty-third  Street  for  more  than  sixty  years,  is  a  salient  ex- 
ample. The  site  of  the  old  Morton  House,  at  Broadway  and 
Fourteenth  Street,  is  being  improved  with  a  building  much 
larger  than  the  old  one  and  it  will  command  rentals  far  stronger. 
The  building  on  West  Twenty-third  Street  that  housed  the 
Eden  Musee  became  the  site  of  a  building  more  modern  and 
more  useful.  Various  Sixth-Avenue  corners  and  inside  parcels 
between  Fourteenth  and  Twenty-third  Streets  have  been  bought 
by  tenants  because  they  are  deemed  invaluable  for  their  busi- 
ness purposes  and  they  desire  to  be  sure  of  permanency  of 
possession.  The  area  adjacent  to  lower  Fifth  Avenue  and 
Washington  Square  still  holds  strong  for  residential  pur- 
poses, while  not  far  away  is  a  larger  business  population  than 
in  past  years.     All   contribute  to  shopping  strength. 

Discussing  the  subject,  Robert  E.  Simon,  prominent  real  es- 
tate operator,  investor  and  observer  of  real  estate  conditions, 
said : 

"The  movement  of  large  retail  business  interests  from  Four- 
teenth Street,  Twenty-third  Street  and  Sixth  Avenue  between 
those  streets  is  what  caused  the  transformation  of  the  Herald 
Square-Grand  Central  neighborhood,  the  greatest  square  mile 
of  shopping  center  in  the  world.  Of  course,  the  city  will  grow 
further  north  in  a  business  way.  It  will  be  a  general  commercial

To  Build  Post  Office  Annex  Over  Pennsylvania  Tracks 

Five  Bids  for  Building  and  Lease  to  Government  at  Total  Cost  of  About  Twenty 
Million  Dollars  Being  Examined  for  Award 


BIDS  for  the  new  post  office  annex  building  to  be  con- 
structed over  the  tracks  of  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad, 
west  of  the  General  Post  Office  Building  are  now  in  the 
hands  of  Postmaster  General  Hubert  Work  for  consideration. 
Five  bids  were  submitted  for  the  building  which  will  have  a 
total  floor  area  of  818,966  square  feet.  While  the  basis  on 
which  the  bids  were  made  is  a  provision  for  a  lease  to  the 
Government  for  a  term  of  twenty  years  there  is  included  in 
the  bids  an  option  which  allows  the  Government  to  purchase 
the  building  within  three,  five,  ten,  fifteen  or  twenty  years 
and  a  further  provision  for  a  renewal  of  the  lease  for  ten 
years.     The    bids    follow: 

Jacob  Kulp  &  Co.,  $19,245,695  for  the  twenty  years,  or  an 
average  of  $1,175  per  square  foot  per  annum;  South  Bay  Realty 
Corporation,  $20,500,000  for  the  twenty  year  period,  or  $1.25 
per  square  foot;  Parcel  Post  Building  Company,  $20,883,633, 
or  $1.27  per  square  foot;  Pennsylvania  Postal  Building  Cor- 
poration, $24,900,000.  or  an  average  of  $1.52  per  square  foot, 
and  the  American  Postal  Building  Corporation,  $22,000,000  for 
the  twenty  year  period,  or  an  average  of  $1.34  per  square  foot. 

On  the  basis  of  the  bids  submitted  to  the  Postmaster  General, 
the  annual  charge  by  the  various  bidders  for  the  proposed 
post   office   building   would   be   as   follows : 

Jacob  Kulp  &  Co.,  $962,284.75;  South  Bay  Realty  Corporation, 
$1,025,000;  Parcel  Post  Building  Corporation,  $1,044,181.65 ;  Penn- 


sylvania Postal  Building  Corporation,  $1,245,000;  American 
Postal    Building    Corporation,   $1,100,000. 

John  H.  Edwards,  Solicitor  of  the  Post  Office  Department, 
is  making  the  examination  of  the  bids  and  the  award  is  ex- 
pected to  be  made  soon.  The  building  will  be  erected  under 
authority  of  an  Act  of  Congress  passed  in  April,  1920. 

In  addition  to  the  facilities  afiforded  by  the  annex  to  the  main 
post  office  provided  for  in  these  plans,  the  movement  to  exchange 
the  old  post  office  site  for  other  property  in  the  downtown  district 
is  making  headway.  City  officials  are  known  to  favor  the  removal 
of  the  old  building  south  of  City  Hall  Park  and  it  is  understood 
they  will  offer  the  Government  a  portion  of  the  new  Court  House 
site  upon  which  to  erect  buildings  for  Federal  offices  now  scattered 
throughout  a  number  of  buildings  in  the  lower  section  of  the  city. 
This  is  the  proposition  which  was  tentatively  under  discussion 
during  the  administration  of  Postmaster  General  Hays,  who  had 
several  conferences  in  this  city  with  those  interested  in  the  removal 
of  the  old  building  deemed  an  eyesore  as  well  as  unsanitary  and 
inadequate.  In  these  conferences  representatives  of  Comptroller 
Craig,  in  whose  hands  the  matter  was  left  by  the  city  administration, 
gave  assurances  that  the  city  was  willing  to  make  the  exchange. 
Now  the  news  comes  from  Washington  that  President  Harding 
has  appointed  Secretary  Mellon,  Attorney  General  Daugherty,  and 
Postmaster  General  Work  as  members  of  a  commission  which  will 
have  authority  to  exchange  the  land  known  as  the  old  post  office 
site  below  City  Hall  for  other  land  to  be  deeded  by  the  City  of 
Xew  York  for  post  office  purposes  in  the  downtown  district. 


Remarkable  "Comeback"  of  Values  in  Old  Retail  District 


(Continued  from  Page  647) 
growth  rather  than  a  growth  of  department  store  zones.  It  is 
to  be  remembered  that  Manhattan  has  lost  population  to  Brook- 
lyn within  recent  years,  and  Queens  is  growing  apace,  as  is  Long 
Island  fifty  miles  beyond  the  East  River.  Its  shopping  popula- 
tion is  pretty  well  distributed  at  Pennsylvania  Station  and  at 
Herald  Square.  It  radiates  southward  as  much  as  north- 
ward. The  large  stores  that  remained  dow'ntown  not  only  do 
business  with  this  element  of  New  York's  floating  population, 
but  they  do  business  as  well  with  the  population  in  all  the 
other  regions  within  and  without  the  city  that  dealt  with  them 
in  years  back. 

"The  average  person  will  shop  in  the  old  center  regularly  as 
well  as  in  the  new  one  as  long  as  he  or  she  has  the  easy  transit 
facilities  to  get  there.  Time  was  when  the  average  Brooklynite 
shopped  in  Brooklyn.  Nowadays  the  situation  is  different,  on 
account  of  easy  transit  runs  between  that  borough  and  Man- 
hattan. Brooklyn  shoppers  are  a  large  factor  in  stores  here. 
With  the  Fourteenth-Street  subway  route  in  operation  they 
will  be  a  still  bigger  factor  in  the  Fourteenth-Street  and  Sixth- 
Avenue  zone. 

"The  trade  factor  that  caused  the  business  invasion  of  Fifth 
Avenue  and  its  environs  north  of  Forty-second  Street  was  the 
specialty  shops.  They  are  even  now  multiplj'ing  in  that  region. 
Madison  Avenue  has  become  a  mixture  of  specialty  shops 
and  modern  office  buildings.  I  am  convinced  it  would  be  a 
great  mistake  for  department  stores  to  go  north  of  Forty- 
second  Street.  Certain  lines  of  retail  trade  seem  destined  to  go 
further  north,  for  instance  jewelry,  lingerie,  linens,  millinery, 
dressmakers  and  allied  specialty  lines. 

"All  structural  development  of  recent  years  indicates  a  great- 
er centralization  of  large  retail  trade  south  of  Forty-second 
Street.  Retail  dry-goods  stores  and  high-class  specialty  shops 
do  not  mix  any  better  than  oil  and  water.  We  must  protect  a 
district  for  these  specialty  shops  if  New  York  is  to  maintain 
her  position  as  a  world  shopping  and  style  center.  The  region 
lies  between  two  great  railroad  terminals  which  drop  their 
traffic  there.  And  as  so  many  large  stores  are  established  there 
it  is  logical  that  they  will  remain  there.    The  old  shopping  cen- 


ters of  Fourteenth  and  Twenty-third  Streets  are  on  the  line  of 
travel  from  downtown  and  Brooklyn.  They  stand  a  better 
chance  for  big  retail  business  than  does  the  area  from  Forty- 
second  to  Fifty-ninth  Streets.  Of  course,  the  traffic  of  Queens- 
boro  Bridge  must  be  taken  into  consideration.  There  is  heavy 
vehicular  traffic  over  it. 

"Macy's  and  Altman's  stores  might  never  have  left  the  old 
Sixth-Avenue  neighborhood  if  the  question  of  much  higher  ren- 
tals on  leaseholds  had  not  presented  themselves.  This  is  proven 
by  the  fact  that  both  of  these  large  firms  had  built  modern 
and  large  annexes  to  their  buildings  before  the  old  leaseholds 
expired  and  one  of  them  had  also  built  a  large  palatial  stable 
adjacent  for  its  delivery  wagons  and  horses.  Surely  they  would 
not  have  done  it  if  they  had  contemplated  removal  so  soon 
after.  It  all  demonstrates  how  individual  differences  some- 
times change  the  trend  of  things.  Macy's,  McCreery's  and  Alt- 
man's  all  left  buildings  that  were  right  at  elevated  railroad  sta- 
tions which  led  everywhere  in  order  to  go  to  new  locations 
remote  from  such  traffic  distributers.  The  growth  of  the  city 
helped  them  in  the  new  locations. 

"Subway  routes  now  are  no  nearer  to  Fifth  Avenue  and 
Thirty-fourth  Street  than  they  arc  to  Fifth  Avenue  and  Four-, 
teenth  Street  and  the  same  avenue  and  Twenty-third  Street.  . 
In  spite  of  the  fact  that  Fourteenth  Street  has  been  bothered  by 
subway  construction  it  has  not  been  weakened  as  a  trade  thor- 
oughfare as  much  as  Forty-second  Street  was  when  a  subway 
was  built  under  it.  The  old  merchants  who  held  their  nerve 
and  remained  in  the  old  Fourteenth-street  and  Sixth-avenue 
district  are  doing  as  big  business  as  close  to  busy  traffic  routes 
as  the  ones  that  moved  away,  and  they  are  doing  it  with  less 
overhead  in  the  form  of  property  investment  and  lower  car- 
rying charges  on  their  properties  and  they  have  not  suffered 
the  great  loss  caused  by  abandoning  valuable  properties. 

"The  contrast  is  interesting  and  strong  at  this  time,  when 
recrudescence  is  taking  place  in  the  old  district,  and  in  the  light 
of  the  fact  that  the  movement  from  it  to  Thirty-fourth  Street 
and  to  Herald  Square  and  further  north  was  caused  by  seem- 
ingly outrageous  rental  values  and  the  idea  that  trade  centers 
must  move  periodically."

Work  Started  On  New  Mercantile  Building  in  Terminal  Zone 

Cross  &  Cross,  Architects,  Design  Structure  to  Cost  $1,800,000  As  Showrooms 
and  Executive  Offices  for  Alillinerv  and  Dress  Goods  Firms 


WORK  on  the  foundations  is  in  progress 
for  a  large  fireproof  mercantile 
building  whicli  will  occupy  the  block 
front  in  the  south  side  of  Forty-seventh  street, 
between  Madison  and  Vanderbilt  avenues. 
This  structure,  which  will  be  twelve  and  one- 
half  stories  in  height,  will  be  something  in 
the  nature  of  a  departure  for  this  neighbor- 
hood as  it  will  provide  office  and  showroom 
space  for  concerns  in  the  wholesale  millinery 
and  dress  goods  lines,  whereas  the  district  is 
largely  given  over  to  high  class  retail  shops. 

The  building  is  being  erected  for  invest- 
ment by  Webb  &  Knapp.  owners,  on  property 
leased  from  the  N.  Y.  State  Realty  &  Terminal 
Co.,  through  Wm.  A.  White  &  Co.,  brokers, 
for  a  term  of  twenty-one  years  and  two  re- 
newals. The  aggregate  net  rental  for  this 
property   is  said  to  exceed  $10,000,000. 

Cross  &  Cross,  681  Fifth  avenue,  are  the 
architects  for  this  operation  and  the  work  is 
progressing  under  a  general  contract  awarded 
to  the  Todd,  Robertson  &  Todd  Engineering 
Corporation,  Inc.,  101  Park  avenue.  The  cost 
of  construction  is  estimated  by  the  architects 
to  be  approximately  $1,800,000. 

This  project  occupies  a  plot  with  dimensions 
of  215. S  by  100.5  feet  and  the  structure  will 
have  a  base  area  of  approximately  21,666 
square  feet,  .'\ccording  to  the  present  schedule 
the  building  will  be  completed  and  ready  for 
occupancy  early  in   February,   1923. 

Several  long  term  leases  have  already  been 
negotiated  for  office  and  showroom  space  in 
this  new  building.  Aitken,  Son  &  Co.,  now 
located  at  417  Fifth  avenue;  Gage  Brothers  & 
Co.,  now  at  the  corner  of  Fifth  avenue  and 
Thirty-seventh  street,  and  Judkins  &  McCor- 
mack  Company  have  signed  leases.  These 
firms  are  among  the  largest  concerns  dealing 
in  millinery  and  dress  goods  in  the  United 
States.  They  have  contracted  for  seven  floors 
in  this  building  through  Wm.  A.  White  & 
Sons,  and  Webb  &  Knapp,  and  two  floors  have 
been  leased  to  the  Bigelow-Hartford  Carpet 
Company,  with  factories  at  Thompsonville, 
Conn.,  through  Harris,  Vought  &  Co.,  and  Her- 
bert McLean  Purdy,  brokers.  All  of  these 
firms  have  made  leases  for  twenty  year  terms 
dating  from  the  time  the  structure  is  completed. 

This  building  will  be  for  executive  offices 
and  showrooms  exclusively  and  manufacturing  will  not  be  per- 
mitted. The  determination  to  construct  a  building  of  this  char- 
acter in  this  particular  neighborhood  was  the  outcome  of  the  realiza- 
tion that  the  location  offers  the  closest  contact  with  the  large  de- 
partment stores,  exclusive  retail  shops,  hotels,  clubs  and  transit 
facilities  of  New  York  City.

NEW  MERCANTILE  BUILDING  IN  EAST  FORTY-SEVENTH  STREET 

The  movement  of  these  wholesale  millinery  and  dress  goods 
concerns  from  the  recently  established  center  of  these  trades  and 
thir  relocation  in  an  entirely  new  neighborhod  will  be  watched  with

trends  of  development. 


Mortgages  Aggregate  $1,154,976,168  on  New  York  Homes  and  Farms 

HOMES  and  farms  privately  owned  in  New  York  State 
two  years  ago  aggregated  in  value  $2,646,156,868,  accord- 
ing to  figures  of  the  1920  Federal  Census.  Farms 
partly  owned  and  partly  rented,  or  homes  and  farms  leased  to 
tenants  are  not  included  in  this  tabulation,  which  has  for  one 
of  its  purposes  the  determination  of  the  mortgage  obligation 
of  the  home  and  farm  owners.  The  debt  on  these  properties 
represented  by  mortgages  amounted  to  $1,154,976,168  when  the 


census  was  taken,  which  means  that  the  mortgage  indebtedness 
amounted  to  43.6  per  cent  of  the  value  of  the  properties 
taken  as  a  whole. 

The  census  also  discloses  the  fact  that  the  number  of  homes 
other  than  farms  in  the  State  was  2.240,931.  Of  these  homes 
597,753,  or  26.7  per  cent,  were  owned  by  the  occupants,  and 
cf  these  tenant-owned  homes,  329,438  were  mortgaged,  which 
represents  55.1  per  cent  of  the  whole  number.

President  Harding  Declares   Business   Revival  Is  Here 

Makes  Encouraging  Statement  to  Chamber  of  Commerce  of  United  States 
at  Which  Secretaries  Hughes  and  Hoover  Also  Speak  Hopefully 

[Special  to  The  Record  and  Guide] 


Washington,  May  22. 

EUROPEAN  Conditions  and  Their  Effect  on  American 
Business"  and  "The  Merchant  Marine"  were  the  two 
principal  topics  for  discussion  during  the  tenth  annual 
meeting  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  of  the  United 
States  held  here  last  week.  Nearly  three  thousand  of  the  na- 
tion's chief  business  men  were  in  attendance.  The  most  effec- 
tive utterance  of  the  two  score  speakers  at  the  various  meetings 
held  by  the  members  was  that  of  President  Harding  when  he 
declared  that  business  was  reviving  but  that  no  business  per- 
manently could  succeed  if  it  was  not  conducted  honestly.  It 
was  the  President's  reassuring  statement  about  commercial  and 
financial  conditions  throughout  the  country  that  sent  the  dele- 
gates to  the  convention  home  filled  with  new  enthusiasm  and 
courage.  The  President  referred  to  the  situation  in  Russia 
in  the  prelude  of  his  speech,  and  expressed  a  hope  that  condi- 
tions in  that  unfortunate  country  might  be  restored  to  a 
healthful  state.  "But,"  he  said,  "this  will  never  be  brought 
about  until  the  existing  system  is  abolished.  Russia  can  never 
be  restored  until  the  communistic  idea  has  been  put  aside  and 
the  rewards  for  righteous  human  activity  are  restored  to  the 
citizenship  of  that  land." 

President  Harding  called  attention  to  the  idea  that  the  prac- 
ticability of  the  doctrine  of  "less  government  in  business  and 
more  business  in  government"  depended  upon  the  character  of 
American   commercial   life. 

"If  the  commerce  of  America,"  he  added,  "were  always  con- 
scientious there  never  would  be  a  single  excuse  for  Government 
in  American  business."  He  declared  it  hopeless  ever  to  return 
to  the  old  order  of  American  industry  and  exchanges  in  trade. 

Taking  up  the  question  of  foreign  trade  the  President  said: 

"I  believe  it  is  possible  to  trade  with  the  world  without  any  destruction 
of  American  productivity.  I  wish  for  such  an  arrangement.  Let  us  sell 
things  that  Americans  can  produce  advantageously  to  those  who  cannot 
produce  them.  Let  us  buy  the  things  that  they  have  to  sell  to  us  and 
which  we  cannot  produce.  Out  of  such  exchanges  comes  righteous  rela- 
tionship and  balance  of  trade  and  the  continued  forward  movement  of  tfie 
great   human    procession." 

President  Harding  expressed  the  opinion  that  had  this  coun- 
try a  merchant  fleet  in  proportion  to  its  commercial  impor- 
tance there  would  have  been  no  World  War.  No  nation,  he 
said,  ever  maintained  dominance  of  trade  unless  it  also  was  a 
carrier  of  trade. 

"It  is  perfectly  needless,"  he  said,  "to  tell  a  body  of  business 
men  and  women  that  no  thoughtful  producer  turns  to  his 
competitor  for  his  deliveries." 

The  President's  reference  to  conditions  today  follows: 

"And  I  beg  to  remind  you  that  the  great  World  War,  like  every  other 
■war  which  preceded  it.  but  more  notably  the  great  World  War,  because 
of  its  incalculable  immensity,  has  left  a  state  in  human  affairs  quite 
different  from  any  that  ever  preceded  it.  The  war  would  have  been  a 
complete  waste,  it  would  have  been  an  utter  sacrifice  of  every  effort, 
It  we  tiiu  not  And  the  great  human  procession  on  a  little  higher  plane 
than  that  which  it  followed  before.  An  American  commerce  must  keep 
that  in  mind.  There  will  never  be  a  time  when  you  can  go  back  com- 
pletely to  the  old   order  of  American   industries  and  exchanges   in   trade. 

"I  say  this  because  at  the  very  moment  we  are  on  the  threshold  of  a 
new  era.  Undoubtedly  there  is  more  than  a  business  revival  in  sight. 
Our  country  is  finding:  itself  again.  We  are  fundamentally  right,  and  we 
do  not  intend  ever  to  be  discouraged  for  a  long  time. 

"Business  is  reviving  and  we  are  soon  to  resume  our  onward  way,  and 
I  admonish  you  of  the  larger  responsibility  to  keep  in  mind  the  new  state 
of  human  affairs  and  the   awakened   aspirations   of  men. 

"I  do  not  think  that  any  business  can  permanently  succeed  that  is  not 
honest.  And  I  do  not'  think  that  any  enterpirse  ought  to  succeed  that 
is  not  honorable.  And  if  you  will  combine  honesty  and  honor,  that  enter- 
prise which  makes  such  a  slogan  will  stand  unchallenged  before  the 
world. 

Secretary  of  State  Hughes  was  another  speaker  who  referred 
to  the  impossibility  of  transacting  business  with  a  nation  which 
places  itself  outside  the  pale  of  international  intercourse  by  set- 
ting  up    a   policy   of    confiscation.     In    his    address    Secretary 

Hughes   said  : — 

"Intercourse,  from  the  standpoint  of  business,  consists  in  the  making 
of  contracts  and  the  acquisition  of   property  rights.     Nations  may  adopt 


what  policies  they  please  for  the  future  conduct  of  their  local  affairs,  and 
if  these  policies  are  not  enlightened  the  result  will  inevitably  he  that  pro- 
duction will  languish  and  trade  will  shrivel  up,  and  they  will  look  In 
vain  tor  security  and  confidence ;  still  they  will  be  within  their  rights 
in    determining   their    future   policy    in    local   matters. 

"International  relations  proceed  upon  the  postulate  of  international 
morality,  and  the  most  important  principle  to  be  maintained  at  this  time 
with  respect  to  international  relations  is  that  no  State  is  entitled  to  a 
place  within  the  family  of  nations  if  it  destroys  the  foundation  of  honor- 
able intercourse  by  resort  to  confiscation  and  repudiation,  and  fails  to 
maintain  an  adequate  system  of  Government  through  which  valid  rights 
and  valid  engagements  are  recognized  and  enforced. 

"This  is  in  the  obvious  interest  of  business,  and  this  is  merely  a  way  of 
saying  that  this  course  is  vital  to  the  prosperity  of  all  peoples,  for  the  ac- 
tivities of  business  are  those  of  production,  and  exchange  upon  which  the 
welfare  of  peoples  inevitably  depend.  If  profits  are  anticipated  through 
a  departure  from  this  clear  path  of  honorable  dealing  they  will  be  found 
to  be  illusory." 

Secretary  of  Commerce  Hoover  emphasized  the  point  that 
since  the  signing  of  the  armistice  America  had  extended  gov- 
ernmental and  private  loans  to  Europe  aggregating  $4,000,000,000, 
in  addition  to  $1,000,000,000  donated  in  charity.  This,  he  de-' 
clared,  was  his  answer  to  the  criticism  that  Europe  had  been 
left  by  the  United  States  to  shift  for  itself. 

Mr.  Hoover  characterized  the  possibility  of  the  United  States 
extending  further  governmental  loans  as  "the  most  unlikely 
event  on  the  economic  earth."  Further  assistance,  he  said, 
must  come  from  private  enterprise,  and  to  gain  this  aid,  Eu- 
rope must  first  establish  the  soundness  of  her  institutions. 

Business   men   and   economists   the   world   over,   he    declared, 

had  long  reached  agreement  on  the  steps  necessary  to  advance 

Europe  to  the  degree  of  stability  which  this  country  enjoys. 

They  follow : — 

"First — Such  political  relations  between  the  States  In  Europe  themselves 
as  will  produce  an  atmosphere  of  peace  and  destroy  the  atmosphere  of  war. 

"Second — The  reduction  of  armament,  not  only  to  lessen  the  Govern- 
ment expenditure,  hut  to  give  confidence  of  peace. 

"Third — The  intergovernmental  debts,  including  German  reparations,  to 
be  fixed  upon  such  a  definite  basis  of  payment  of  interest  and  principal 
as  will  create  reasonable  confidence  that  payments  will  be  met. 

"Fourth — The  balancing  of  budgets  more  through  the  reduction  of  ex- 
penditure than  the  increase  in  taxation,  and  a  cessation  of  the  consequent 
inflation  in  currency  and  short-time  bills. 

"Fifth — The  ultimate  establishment  of  the  gold  standard  with  the  assist- 
ance of  either  credits  or  gold  loans,  and  where  necessary,  the  acceptances 
of  diminished  gold  content  in  many  old  units  of  currency. 

Resolutions  were  adopted  favoring  representation  on  the 
Reparations  Commission  and  International  Court  of  Justice; 
calling  for  the  speedy  disposal  of  war  claims;  expressing  grati- 
fication at  the  enactment  of  a  National  Budget  Law;  reaffirm- 
ing confidence  in  the  Federal  Reserve  system  and  protesting 
against  any  changes  in  it  except  those  which  will  add  to  it  fur- 
ther usefulness  and  strength;  advocating  an  adequate  privately 
owned  and  operated  merchant  marine  and  the  codification  of 
bills  of  lading;  stating  that  the  Interstate  Commerce  act  should 
not  be  amended  until  the  law  has  been  tested  by  experience 
under  normal  conditions;  deprecating  any  tendency  to  reduce 
the  army  and  navy  below  the  strength  required  for  national 
safety;  endorsing  the  achievements  of  the  State  Department; 
thanking  the  Department  of  Coininerce  for  collecting  and  dis- 
tributing information,  about  foreign  and  domestic  commerce; 
protesting  against  the  exemption  of  governments  from  claims 
for  damages  to  private  property  by  government  owned  vessels; 
seeking  additional  inquiry  into  measures  for  flood  control;  a 
reduction  in  passport  and  vise  fees. 

The  election  of  the  following  officers  was  announced:  Presi- 
dent, Julius  H.  Barnes,  Duluth,  Minn.;  vice-president  for  the 
Eastern  States,  A.  C.  Bedford,  New  York;  for  the  Northern 
States,  Thomas  E.  Wilson,  Chicago;  for  the  Southern  States,

Review  of  Real  Estate  Market  for  the  Current  Week 

Dealing  in  Large  Apartment  Houses  and  Sites  for  Them  Together  with  General 
Buying  by  Tenants  Were  the  Prime  Features 


THIS  was  a  week  of  heavy  and  varied  trading  in  real  prop- 
erty. With  the  first  summer  month  imminent  there  is  no 
cessation  of  business  as  is  usual  at  this  time  of  the  year. 
Throughout  the  city  there  is  keen  investment  interest  in  real 
estate  as  well  as  activity  by  operators.  The  investment  tone  is 
demonstrated  by  the  large  number  of  tenants  who  are  buying 
both  business  and  residential  parcels.  Probably  no  week  in 
the  year  has  shown  more  of  this  class  of  buyers.  The  circum- 
stance is  a  tonic  for  the  market  generally. 

Outstanding  features  of  the  dealing  were  the  sales  of  two 
large  elevator  apartment  houses,  each  on  a  West  End  Avenue 
corner  and  each  transaction  amounting  to  close  to  $1,000,000. 
Numerous  elevator  apartment  houses  in  the  upper  West  side 
and  in  Harlem  were  sold  that  varied  in  price  from  $500,000  to 
$650,000  each.  A  large  vacant  plot  at  the  south  corner  of  Fifth 
Avenue  and  96th  Street  changed  hands  for  improvement  with  a 
fine  apartment  house,  while  a  smaller  plot  farther  north  in  the 
avenue  was  bought  for  a  similar  purpose.  It  would  seem  that 
the  limiting  of  the  height  of  apartment  houses  on  this  thorough- 
fare has  not  discouraged  that  class  of  building  there.  Numer- 
ous fine  dwellings  in  choice  residential  streets  close  to  Fiftt 
Avenue   changed   hands. 

Accompanying  the  sale  of  numerous  fine  apartment  houses 
was  the  sale  in  the  upper  Madison  Avenue,  Lexington  Avenue 
and  Park  Avenue  neighborhoods  of  good  sized  plots  for  im- 
provement with  large  elevator  apartment  houses  and  apartment 
hotels.  It  is  a  significant  sign  of  the  times.  One  site  of  dis- 
tinctiveness for  the  purpose  is  on  the  upper  West  side,  cver- 


f 

looking  the  north  end  of  Manhattan  Park,  in  which  is  situated 
the  Museum  of  Natural  History.  Some  less  impressive  locations 
for  apartment  houses  in  the  upper  West  side  were  also  bought. 

Two  sales  that  attracted  wide  notice  were  that  of  the  6- 
story  business  building  at  60S  Fifth  Avenue  to  the  Phipps' 
estate  and  that  of  a  business  building  on  West  125th  Street  by 
the  estate  of  J.  M.  Horton,  the  latter  property  being  acquired 
by  the  tenant.  Two  business  buildings  on  Madison  Avenue  'so 
changed  ownership.  There  was  great  diversity  of  dealing  in 
tenement  house  properties.  On  the  important  thoroughtares 
of  the  East  side  many  merchant  tenants  bought  the  buildings 
their  stores  are  in  and  the  speculative  element  figured  in  these 
avenues  as  well.  Washington  Heights  and  the  Bronx  contrib- 
uted many  apartment  house  transactions.  A  warehouse  in 
South  Street  was  bought.  The  lower  West  side  also  did  well. 
Corners  were  sold  in  Sixth,  Eighth  and  Ninth  Avenues,  two  of 
the  transactions  being  in  the  Pennsylvania  zone.  There  was 
strong  investment  interest  shown  in  Greenwich  Village,  where 
many  old  parcels  were  bought  by  large  business  interestT  for 
the  purpose  of  reimprovement.  There  was,  too,  some  dealing 
in  single  parcels  in  the  business  streets  close  to  Fifth  Avenue 
and  north  of  34th  Street. 

Leasing  of  large  business  spaces  was  emphasized  by  the 
leasing  of  two  floors,  on  the  plans,  in  the  Pershing  Square  build- 
ing and  the  leasing  of  a  Madison  Avenue  corner  by  the  Gerrys. 
Forty-one  per  cent,  of  the  space  in  the  Pershing  Square  building 
is  taken  before  it  is  built,  which  shows  the  steady  concentration 
of  large  interests   near  the   Grand  Central  Terminal. 


PRIVATE  REALTY  SALES. 


THE  total  number  of  sales  reported,  but  not 
recorded  In  Manhattan  this  week  was  85, 
as  against  109  last  week  and  126  a  year  ago. 

The  number  of  sales  south  of  59th  st  was  24, 
as  compared  with  47  last  week  and  55  a  year 
ago. 

The  number  of  sales  north  of  59th  st  was  61, 
as  compared  with  62  last  weeek  and  71  a  year 
ag' . 

From  the  Eronx  37  sales  at  private  contract 
were  reported,  as  against  34  last  week  and  37 
a   year  ago.

Co..  which  is  taking  an  issue  of  $2,750,000  of 
first  mortgage  bonds  on  the  Grand  Central  Palace 
and  the  adjoining  Park  av  leasehold.  The  bonds 
will  bear  interest  at  7  per  cent,  and  provide  for 
a  sinking  fund  to  retire  the  bonds  in  20  years. 

Out  of  the  proceeds  of  the  loan  a  new  20-sty 
office  building  will  be  constructed  on  the  Park 
av  plot,  which  will  afford  additional  security 
to  the  bonds,  as  the  present  net  income  from  the 
Grand  Central  Palace  alone  is  said  to  be  more 
than  sufficient  to  pay  interest  and  sinking  fund 
requirements  on  the  entire  bond  issue.

Gerry  Leases  Madison  Ave,  Site 

Property  owned  by  Commodore  Elbrldgo  T. 
Gerry  in  the  Madison  Square  section  has  been 
leased  to  interests  which  will  erect  a  7-8ty 
store  and  loft  building.  The  parcels  involved 
are  at  65-67  Madison  av  and  27  East  27th  st, 
forming  an  "Li"  around  the  northeast  comer 
of  those  thoroughfares.  The  site  fronts  49.4 
feet  on  the  avenue  and  has  a  depth  of  100  feet. 
The  27th  st  frontage  is  28.11  feet.  The  under- 
taking will   involve   about   $1,000,000. 

The  lesseees  are  Robert  P.  Zobel  and  Henry 
M.  Weill,  who  have  formed  the  65-67  Madison 
Avenue  Corporation  to  manage  the  project. 
The  lease  is  for  63  years.  The  lessees  will  get 
possession  in  30  days  and  will  then  start  razing 
the  old  3  and  4-sty  buildings  on  the  site  for 
replacement  with  a  7-sty  building  containing 
lofts  and  stores  and  estimated  to  cost  $225,000. 
The  lease  calls  for  an  annual  rental  of  about 
$14,000,  making  a  total  of  approximately  $880.- 
000  for  the  term.  The  Cruikshank  Co.  and  the 
Henry  M.   Weill   Co.   were  the  brokers.

BUILDING    SECTION 


Hudson  River  Brick  Manufacturers  Speeding  Production 

Current  Season's  Output  Now  Arriving  and  Supplies  to  Meet  All  Requirements 
Assured  Without  Relying  on  Imports  from  Europe 


BUILDERS  in  the  Metropolitan  district  were  greatly  re- 
lieved this  week  upon  receiving  the  news  that  common 
brick  of  this  season's  manufacture  is  now  arriving  at 
the  wholesalers'  docks  and  that  the  initial  cargoes  will  be 
followed  by  others  as  soon  as  the  newly-burned  brick  is  suffi- 
ciently cool  to  handle  and  load.  Although  there  is  a  continued 
scarcity  of  this  product  the  situation  is  infinitely  improved 
and  the  outlook  is  for  a  steady  gain  in  the  volume  of  brick 
available   for   construction  throughout  this  territory. 

Brick  manufacturers  are  exerting  their  greatest  efforts  to 
speed  up  production.  They  are,  however,  confronted  with  seri- 
ous manufacturing  problems  which  at  present  are  preventing 
a  capacity  output  and  which  are  likely  to  curtail  manufacturing 
operations  to  some  extent  for  the  next  few  weeks. 

The  shortage  of  brick  which  has  been  experienced  during 
the  past  few  weeks  was  brought  about  by  conditions  over 
which  the  producers  had  absolutely  no  control.  The  open 
winter  was  responsible  for  a  steady  consumption  of  brick  in 
the  New  York  territory  which  called  for  the  reserve  stocks 
local  dealers  usually  had  on  hand  for  early  spring  deliveries. 
Then  also  the  Hudson  river  was  closed  to  navigation  for 
some  weeks  and  brick  left  in  the  up-river  yards  could  not  be 
transported  by  barge  but  had  to  be  shipped  by  rail  in  smaller 
lots  at  greatly  increased  cost  to  the  manufacturer.  The  keen 
demand  during  the  winter  months  practically  cleaned  out  the 
stocks  of  the  manufacturers  and  when  the  building  boom  started 
early  this  spring  there  was  practically  no  reserve  supply  for 
the   emergency. 

Since  earliest  spring  the  manufacturers  have  been  confronted 
with  conditions  which  prevented  them  from  getting  their 
plants  in  operation  at  a  rate  which  would  adequately  supply 
the  steadily  increasing  demand  for  common  brick.  The  short- 
age of  fuel  has  been  one  of  the  most  important  of  these  but 
other  factors,  notably  labor  troubles  in  various  plants,  along 
with  flooded  yards  which  prevented  the  manufacture  of  new 
brick  or  the  loading  of  reserve  held  over  from  last  year  were 
also  outstanding  conditions  combining  to  create  the  so-called 
famine  of  the  past  few  weeks. 

At  the  present  time  the  manufacturing  situation  is  greatly 
improved.  Production  is  progressing  at  the  ma.ximum  as  per- 
mitted by  the  available  supply  of  fuel  and  labor  and  producers 
are  confident  that  the  next  few  weeks  will  witness  a  marked 
change  for  the  better.  None  of  the  leading  manufacturers 
are  expressing  any  doubt  as  to  the  ability  of  their  industry 
to  supply  brick  to  meet  all  demands  this  season  but  they  do 
feel  that  builders  should  be  more  considerate  and  less  im- 
patient. The  brick  industry  had  no  previous  knowledge  of 
the  rate  of  demand  for  the  current  season  other  than  the 
general  trade  impression  that  construction  activity  was  due 
for  a  tremendous  increase.  They  could  not  foresee  or  provide 
against  the  fuel  shortage  nor  settle  strikes  before  they  oc- 
curred, neither  could  they  regulate  the  spring  floods  which 
inundated  many  of  the  plants  on  the  Hudson  River  and  de- 
layed manufacturing  operations   for  a  few  weeks. 

In  discussing  the  brick  manufacturing  situation  recently  one 
of  the  prominent  Hudson  River  producers  stated  that  the 
present  shortage  of  brick  is  about  the  first  time  in  local  building 
history  that  construction  has  been  curtailed  or  even  delayed 
because  this  commodity  was  lacking  but  many  times  within 
the   past   ten   years   or   so   various    production   problems   have 


been  responsible  for  delays  due  to  lack  of  face  brick,  terra 
cotta  or  structural  steel,  the  latter  oftentimes  not  available  from 
two  to  five  months  after  orders  were  placed  and  yet  the  in- 
dustry kept  moving  and  no  great  outcry  was  heard  because 
of  the  situation. 

Recently  there  has  been  considerable  comment  about  the 
advancing  trend  of  common  brick  prices.  Manufacturers, 
however,  point  out  specific  reasons  for  the  higher  levels  pre- 
vailing today  and  state  that  they  do  not  see  how  prices  are  to 
be  lowered  to  any  extent  even  after  the  supply  returns  to 
normal.  Brickyard  labor  is  today  uncertain  and  unsatisfac- 
tory. There  are  not  enough  men  to  operate  the  Hudson  River 
plants  at  capacity  production  and  there  is  considerable  unrest 
about  wages.  At  Kingston  several  strikes  were  started  and 
settled  upon  the  employers  agreement  to  pay  higher  wages 
and  a  similar  strike  about  a  week  ago,  only  more  extensive 
in  its  scope,  was  only  settled  when  the  owners  of  the  plants 
agreed  to  an  increase  of  $1  per  day.  There  is  every  likeli- 
hood that  brickyard  labor  all  along  the  river  will  demand  and 
receive  higher  wages  than  those  in  effect  during  the  1921  season 
and  herein  lies  one  of  the  most  potent  reasons  why  new  brick 
will  not  be  greatly  lowered  in  price. 

Another  very  important  factor  affecting  production  costs  is 
that  of  fuel.  At  present  manufacturers  are  burning  what  they 
have  had  in  reserve  and  are  hoping  for  a  settlement  of  the 
coal  strike  which  will  make  this  commodity  available.  Coal 
is  required  for  producing  steam  to  operate  machinery,  for 
burning  the  brick  after  it  is  made  and  pulverized  coal  is  mixed 
with  the  clay  before  it  is  moulded.  It  is  a  prime  essential  in 
brick  production  and  in  order  to  keep  the  plants  in  operation 
manufacturers  are  now  being  forced  to  buy  in  large  and 
small  lots,  whenever  it  is  available,  and  pay  almost  any  price 
demanded.  At  present  there  is  practically  no  coal  available 
under  $12  per  ton  and  when  it  is  considered  that  a  ton  of  fuel 
is  required  to  burn  about  five  thousand  common  bricks,  the 
influence  of  high  fuel  prices  on  brick  production  costs  can 
readily  be  realized. 

Although  brick  producers  are  confident  they  will  be  able  to  supply 
the  demand  for  the  remainder  of  this  season,  they  are  quite  certain 
in  their  own  minds  that  there  will  not  be  any  great  surplus.  During 
the  past  few  years  the  common  brick  output  has  been  below  normal. 
Estimating  the  output  of  the  Hudson  River  yards  in  their  best  year 
at  a  total  production  of  about  1,200,000,000,  the  maximum  which 
can  be  turned  out  this  year,  with  active  yards  fully  manned  and 
machines  working  at  full  capacity,  will  be  considerably  less  than 
1,000,000,000  brick.  Last  season  the  total  output  for  the  Hudson 
Valley  was  estimated  to  be  between  400,000,000  and  500,000,000 
brick. 

The  prime  reason  for  the  drop  in  total  production  as  noted 
during  the  past  few  years  has  been  the  ruinously  low  prices  brick 
brought  in  this  city.  Manufacturers  were  unable  to  operate  their 
yards  at  a  reasonable  profit  and  as  a  result  many  of  the  plants 
which  formerly  made  brick  for  this  market  are  now  idle,  with  ma- 
chinery and  equipment  partially  dismantled  and  their  buildings 
falling  in  decay. 

Whether  or  not  it  will  pay  to  reopen  these  yards  still  remains 
as  a  doubt  in  the  minds  of  brick  makers.  There  is  no  definite 
knowledge  as  to  the  continued  duration  of  the  brick  demand.  But 
a  slump  in  demand  for  common  brick  may  come  before  the  end  of 
the  year,   due  to  the   cessation   of  apartment   house  construction.

Little  Hope  for  Building  Trade  Wage  Agreement  This  Year 

Employers  and  Union  Officials  Deadlocked  on  Two  Important  Points  But  Various 
Trades  Continuing  Negotiations  with  Workers 


APART  from  the  agreement  entered  into  between  the  em- 
ployers and  the  building  laborers  in  which  the  present 
scale  of  $7  per  day  will  be  continued  for  the  remainder  of 
the  year,  as  will  other  terms  and  privileges  now  in  force,  no 
definite  progress  has  been  made  toward  settling  the  differences 
between  building  trade  employers  and  the  trade  unions  affi- 
liated with  the  industry. 

Following  a  recent  conference  with  Patrick  Crowley,  presi- 
dent of  the  Building  Trades'  Council,  C.  G.  Norman,  Chairman 
of  the  Board  of  Governors  of  the  Building  Trades  Employers' 
Association,  stated  that  he  expected  no  agreement  would  be 
made  during  the  balance  of  this  year.  The  negotiations  have  be- 
come deadlocked  on  two  points.  The  employers  refuse  to  make 
a  collective  agreement  with  the  Building  Trades'  Council  as 
representative  of  all  of  the  unions  in  the  building  industry,  and 
also  refuse  to  sign  a  new  wage  agreement  for  1923.  The  em- 
ployers are  willing  to  enter  into  a  new  wage  agreement  for  the 
remainder  of  the  current  year,  but  the  unions  now  insist  upon 
an  agreement  for  1923  or  an  agreement  from  May  1,  1923,  to 
May  1,  1924,  based  upon  the  cost  of  living  at  the  present  time. 
Meanwhile  the  various  trades  are  continuing  their  negotia- 
tions with  their  respective  unions,  but  as.  yet  little  has  been 
accomplished  of  a  definite  nature.    Many  conferences  have  been 


held  but  the  unions  are  standing  out  for  a  collective  agreement 
made  by  the  Council  and  the  Employers'  Association.  This 
plan  the  latter  organization  will  not  consider. 

At  the  present  time  there  is  relatively  little  unemployment  in 
the  building  trades  and  a  grave  scarcity  prevails  in  some  trades. 
Bricklayers,  carpenters  and  plasterers  are  very  difficult  to  obtain 
and  hold  on  the  jobs,  and  there  is  a  growing  scarcity  in  other 
lines,  notably  the  inside  finishing  trades.  Bonus  wages  are 
being  paid  in  the  majority  of  these  trades  and  the  excess  runs 
as  high  as  fifty  per  cent,  above  the  recognized  union  scale  in 
some  instances.  Builders  feel  there  is  little  hope  for  relief  from 
these  conditions  until  the  rush  of  construction  is  stopped  and 
the  demand  for  mechanics  is  not  so  keen  as  it  is  at  the 
present  time.  The  Public  Group  Committee  is  still  organized 
and  doing  what  it  can  to  assist  the  industry,  but  the 
outlook  for  an  early  settlement  in  labor  affairs  is  not  of 
the  best. 

After  the  meeting  at  which  the  wage  agreement  for  building 
laborers  was  made  G.  B.  Dioguardi,  General  President  of  the 
Independent  Bricklayers'  Helpers  and  Building  Laborers'  Union 
of  America,  issued  a  statement  in  which  he  said  that  his  union 
would  proceed  immediately  with  a  vigorous  campaign  to  en- 
force the  union  wage  scale  on  all  building  jobs  in  this  citj\ 


Modern  Apartments,  to  Rent  for  $10  Per  Room,  Started  in  Brooklyn 


THOSE  landlords  who  have  been  receiving  extortionate 
rents  for  several  years  are  discovering  throughout  the 
Metropolitan  District  a  decided  softening  of  rental  values 
in  multi-family  buildings.  Former  high  rents  are  not  coming 
down  as  the  result  of  a  surplus  of  new  apartments,  but  rather 
because  homeseekers  have  found  it  impossible  to  pay  the  ren- 
tals demanded.  Frequently  owners  of  buildings,  erected  under 
the  high  costs  of  the  past  few  years,  have  found  it  advisable 
to  reduce  rental  schedules  rather  than  permit  their  buildings 
to   remain  unoccupied   for  an  indefinite   period. 

Builders  are  recognizing  the  trend  of  the  times.  They  are 
planning  their  future  operations  along  more  economic  lines 
and  making  a  determined  effort  to  produce  modern  apartments, 
equipped  with  all  the  desired  conveniences,  but  which  will  rent 
at  prices  reasonably  within  the  means  of  those  they  wish  to 
attract  as  tenants. 

Experienced  builders  say  it  is  not  impossible  to  construct 
modern  multi-family  dwellings  today  that  will  rent  for  ten 
dollars  per  room  per  month.  Buildings  with  fair-sized  rooms, 
ample  closets,  with  steam  heat,  hot  water  and  electric  lights 
can  be  erected  in  good  residential  neighborhoods  and  can  be 
rented  at  this  figure,  and  possibly  less,  and  still  show  a  reason- 
able margin  of  profit.  The  high  rentals  of  the  past  years  were 
artificially  stimulated  by  the  scarcity  of  buildings  and  not 
wholly  due  to  abnormal  construction  costs.  A  certain  class  of 
profiteering  landlords  were  the  most  important  factor  in  in- 
creasing rentals  in  the  majority  of  instances  from  the  pre-war 
level  of  $8  to  $10  per  room  per  month  to  the  prevailing  high 
level  of  $24  to  $35  per  room  for  the  same  apartments. 

Walter  Kraslow,  who  has  been  constructing  high-class  resi- 
dential buildings  in  various  sections  of  Brooklyn  for  the  past 
twenty  years,  plans  the  immediate  start  of  a  multi-family 
dwelling  project  in  which  three  and  four-room  suites  will  be 
rented  at  $30  to  $40  per  month.  These  buildings  will  be  erected 
on  high-priced  land,  in  a  neighborhood  where  vacant  property 
is  selling  from  $3,000  to  $3,500  per  lot. 

This  project  will  occupy  the  corner  of  Eighth  and  Prospect 
Avenues,  Brooklyn,  and  the  first  unit  started  will  consist  of  a 
four-story  apartment,  on  the  corner,  and  five  three-story  build- 
ings adjoining  on  Eighth  Avenue.  These  apartments,  which  were 
planned  by  Maxwell  A.  Cantor,  an  architect  of  wide  experi- 
ence in  work  of  this  character,  will  be  modern  in  every  respect 


and  will  contain  all  of  the  comforts  and  conveniences  ordinarily 
found  only   in   apartments   renting   at   a   much   higher  figure. 

The  corner  building  will  have  ground  dimensions  of  31x88 
feet  and  will  contain  four  apartments  on  each  floor.  Two  of  the 
suites  on  the  first  floor  will  contain  three  rooms  and  two  will 
have  four  rooms,  all  with  baths.  The  upper  floors  will  be 
divided   into   four-room  units. 

The  adjoining  houses,  which  will  be  three  stories  in  height, 
will  have  ground  dimensions  of  20x82  feet  and  will  accommodate 
six  families,  in  four-room  units,  each  with  bath.  In  all  of  these 
suites  the  rooms  are  of  good  size  and  proportions.  The  living 
rooms  contain  from  150  to  168  feet  and  the  dining  rooms  have 
an  area  of  about  150  square  feet.  The  kitchens  are  about  9x13 
feet  and  the  bed  rooms  average  10x12.6  feet.  Between  the  three 
story  houses  there  will  be  double  interior  courts  measuring 
31.8x22  feet,  which  assures  the  maximum  of  natural  light  and 
ventilation  to  the  rooms  which  face  upon  them. 

The  fronts  will  be  of  face  brick  and  artificial  stone,  designed 
in  good  style  but  without  costly  ornamentation.  Construction 
throughout  will  be  of  high  standard,  but  the  costly  fixtures  and 
finishes  which  form  the  basis  of  the  high  rentals  usually  de- 
manded, are  being  eliminated,  and  less  elaborate  but  eqifiilly 
satisfactory  devices  installed. 

"Economic  planning  and  the  elimination  of  those  items  which 
add  to  the  cost  of  the  building  and  yet  do  not  increase  the 
comfort  of  the  tenants  makes  its  possible  to  construct  these 
apartments  and  rent  them  at  $10  per  room  per  month,"  said  Mr. 
Kraslow  in  discussing  this  operation.  "There  will  be  practically 
no  waste  space  in  these  buildings;  every  available  inch  has  been 
utilized  to  the  best  advantage.  The  rooms  are  large  and  the 
apartments  will  contain  many  conveniences  found  only  in  bnild- 
ings  where  the  rents  are  much  higher.  By  cutting  out  unneces- 
sary ornamentation,  and  by  close  supervision  of  costs,  rhese 
buildings  will  be  constructed  at  a  figure  permitting  reasonably 
low  rentals  and  still  allow  a  fair  margin  of  profit.  I  hope  to- 
continue  building  operations  along  this  line,  in  the  same 
neighborhood,  because  I  feel  that  by  so  doing  I  will  help  many 
families  to  get  back  to  a  basis  of  correct  economic  living  who- 
for  the  past  few  years  have  either  been  crowded  in  small,  un- 
sanitary homes,  or  who  have  been  forced  to  pay  extortionate 
rents  and  were  consec^uently  unable  to  afford  other  comforts 
to  which  their  incomes   should  entitle  them."

Local    Construction    At    Season's    Height    of    Intensity 


Serious  Common  Brick  Situation  Not 
Preventing  Award  of  Contrac 

CONSTRUCTION  activity  in  New  York  State  and  New 
Jersey,  north  of  Trenton,  has  now  practically  approached  its 
maximum  intensity  for  the  season.  For  the  next  two  months 
there  is  likely  to  be  little  change  in  the  situation  unless  caused  by 
strikes  or  serious  material  shortages  which  would  naturally  curtail 
progress  in  this  line.  Reports  from  every  section  of  the  territory 
indicate  the  building  trades  as  being  confronted  with  more  work 
than  can  possibly  be  accomplished  before  the  winter  sets  in  and 
there  is  still  more  being  planned  which  is  scheduled  for  a  start  this 
year. 

According  to  figures  tabulated  by  the  F.  W.  Dodge  Company 
plans  were  announced  during  the  twentieth  week  of  this  year  for 
697  new  building  and  engineering  operations  scheduled  for  loca- 
tions in  this  territory.  This  work  will  involve  a  total  outlay  of 
$24,151,100.  During  the  same  week  491  contracts  were  awarded 
which  will  require  an  expenditure  of  approximately  $28,757,900. 

Figures  showing  the  new  work  in  the  five  boroughs  of  New  York 
City  also  indicate  extreme  activity  in  building  circles  but  the  local 
operations  are  slowed  down  to  some  e.xtent  because  of  the  serious 
common  brick  situation,  which  while  better  than  it  was  one  week 
ago  still  acts  as  the  outstanding  deterrent  to  major  production. 

Reports  for  local  building  operations  show  that  during  the  week 


Retarding  Progress  on  New  Plans  Nor 
ts  According  to  Weekly  Figures 

of  May  13  to  19  inclusive  239  new  construction  projects  were  re- 
ported as  being  planned  at  an  estimated  cost  of  $14,521,500.  The 
contracts  awarded  during  the  week  numbered  123  and  represented 
a  total  valuation  of  $18,847,100. 

The  list  of  239  projects  for  which  plans  were  reported  in  New 
York  City  during  the  twentieth  week  of  this  year  was  composed 
of  the  following  groups :  Til  business  buildings  such  as  stores,  of- 
fices, lofts,  commercial  garages,  etc.,  $1,040,500;  12  educational  op- 
erations, $1,992,900;  4  factory  buildings,  $170,000;  1  military  struc- 
ture, $175,000;  2  public  buildings,  $10,500;  9  public  works  and 
public  utilities,  $1,454,100;  3  religious  and  memorial  projects,  $61,- 
000;  169  residential  operations  including  apartments,  flats  and  tene- 
ments and  one-  and  two-family  dwellings,  $9,572,500  and  2  social  and 
recreational  projects,  $45,000. 

Among  the  operations  for  which  contracts  were  awarded  during 
the  week  of  May  13  to  19  inclusive  were  22  commercial  projects 
of  various  types,  $4,487,000;  2  educational  buildings,  $31,400;  2  hos-

the  southeast  coi-ner  of  Broadway  and 
Seventy-first  street,  construction  work  on 
which  began  yesterday  (Tuesday).  The

A.  I.  A.  Convention  in  Chicago 

The  American  Institute  of  Architects 
will  hold  its  fifty-fifth  convention  in  Chi- 
cago. 111.,  June  7-9,  at  the  Chicago  Beach 
Hotel. 

Instead  of  having  special  papers  pre- 
pared featuring  certain  phases  of  the  prob- 
lems of  architecture  a  new  order  of  busi- 
ness has  been  laid  down.  The  first  session 
will  be  called  to  order  promptly  at  10  a.  m. 
At  noon  a  ready  to  serve  luncheon  will  be 
held  and  will  be  given  over  to  five-minute 
speeches  concerning  architectural  subjects. 

In  the  afternoon  convention  business 
will  be  taken  up.  and  a  trip  has  been 
planned  to  the  Chicago  University  grounds 
after  adjournment.  This  trip  will  be  for 
the  purpose  of  studying  architectural  ef- 
fects and  varieties  of  construction. 

At  the  evening  session  the  subjects  of 
industrial  relations,  organization  of  tile 
building  industry  and  registration  of  ar- 
chitects will  be  discussed.  After  adjourn- 
ment   there    will    be    dancing   at   the    hotel. 

This  tentative  first  day  procedure  is 
typical  of  what  has  been  planned  for  the 
entire  convention.  This  program,  it  is  be- 
lieved, will  best  serve  the  interests  and 
wishes  of  the  profession  as  represented  by 
the   delegates. 

The  five-minute  discussions  at  the 
luncheons,  and  the  trips  through  various 
sections  of  the  city  will  be  held  solely  for 
the  sake  of  architecture,  and  not  institute 
business.  It  is  thought  by  having  such 
an  elastic  program  that  the  convention  will 
do  justice  to  the  administrative  business  of 
the  institute  and  at  the  same  time  develop 
a  spirit  of  fellowship  and  advance  the  del- 
egates in  some  of  those  things  that  have 
to  do  with  architecture. 

Registration  of  convention  delegates  is 
arranged  for  Tuesday  evening,  June  6.  and 
can  be  completed  early  on  Wednesday 
morning  at  the  aviditorium  of  the  Chicago 
Beach  Hotel. 

A  pre-eonventlon  conference  to  be  held 
in  the  hotel  June  5-C  will  develop  ideas  re- 
lating to  better  iulvertising  methods  for 
architects  and  tlie  co-ordination  of  the 
building  industry.  All  delegates  are  in- 
vited to  attend  this  conference  and  a  full 
report  of  its  findings  will  be  presented  to 
the  convention.

CURRENT   BUILDING   OPERATIONS 


.  CONSIDERABLE  improvement  in  the 
A  common  brick  situation  has  relieved 
the  tension  of  the  industry  to  a  great  ex- 
tent, and  as  there  is  every  indication  that 
this  commodity  will  not  continue  to  be  a 
retarding  factor  for  a  much  longer  period 
contractors  are  more  optimistic  than  they 
were  only  a  week  or  so  ago.  As  a  matter 
of  fact,  the  shortage  of  brick  was  not  re- 
sponsible for  the  stoppage  of  work  on  ac- 
tive projects,  but  some  operations  for 
which  plans  were  fully  matured  were  pre- 
vented from  starting  because  no  brick  was 
available.  Manufacturers  assure  the  in- 
dustry, however,  that  new  brick  is  now 
coming  into  this  market  and  more  is  being 
loaded  for  early  shipment  and  this  will 
naturally  relieve  the  situation  of  one  of 
its  most  serious  aspects. 

During  the  past  week  or  so  there  has 
been  a  decided  falling  off  in  residential 
construction  in  this  territory.  A  large 
number  of  speculative  builders  have  de- 
cided costs  are  altogether  too  high  to  take 
a  chance,  particularly  as  rental  values 
seem  to  be  softening  and  as  a  result  fewer 
apartment  house  plans  are  being  filed,  and 
architects  who  specialize  in  this  work  are 
not  nearly  as  busy  as  they  were  a  month 
or  two  ago.  This  will  relieve  both  the 
a  decided  improvement  in  the  outlook  for 
a  decided  imporvement  in  the  outlook  for 
commercial  and  industrial  building  activ- 
ity. 

Common    Brick Although    the    demand 

lor  common  brick  is  still  exceedingly  ac- 
tive and  buyers  are  immediately  taking  up 
all  brick  as  it  arrives,  the  situation  is 
much  easier  than  it  was  and  it  is  generally 
thought  that  the  crisis  of  the  famine  is 
past.  During  the  past  week  manufac- 
turers report  the  shipment  of  new  brick 
of  this  season's  make,  and  barges  are  be- 
ing loaded  at  the  plants  with  brick  still 
hot  from  the  Icilns.  Practically  all  active 
jobs  in  this  city  are  being  supplied  without 
lengthy  delays  and  each  day  the  supply 
grows  better.  Prices  are  very  firm  at  .$20 
a  thousand  and  there  is  no  indication  of 
a  drop  from  this  level  for  some  time.  Low- 
er prices  later  in  the  season  will  depend 
largely  upon  coal  prices,  labor  and  other 
manufacturing  costs. 

SnmmarT. — Transactions  in  the  North 
River  brick  market  for  the  week  ending 
Thursday,  May  25,  1922.  Condition  of  mar- 
ket: Demand  very  active:  prices  firm  and 
unchanged.  Quotations:  Hudson  Rivers,  $20 
a  thousand  to  dealers  in  cargo  lots  along- 
side dock.  Number  of  cargoes  arrived,  33; 
sales,  33.  Distribution:  Manhattan,  6; 
Bronx,  2;  Brooklyn,  16;  New  Jersey  points, 
4:   Astoria   2;   Flushing,   1;   Tonkers,   2. 


Lumber — This  commodity  is  moving  ac- 
tively in  both  wholesale  and  retail  mar- 
kets and  dealers  anticipate  a  continued 
strong  demand  for  the  next  two  months 
or  so  at  least.  While  building  is  the 
greatest  source  of  demand  there  is  a 
marked  improvement  in  the  buying  of 
manufacturing  consumers  and  as  a  rule 
the  tone  of  the  market  is  optimistic. 
Local  yards  are  carrying  fair  stocks  and 
at  present  deliveries  are  reasonably 
prompt.  The  consumption,  however,  is 
somewhat  in  excess  of  production  and 
there   is   some  likelihood   of   slight   short- 


ages in  the  more  popular  lines  if  the 
prevailing  demand  continues  or  grows  in 
intensity.  As  a  result  of  the  market  sit- 
uation prices  are  very  firm  and  there  is  a 
tendency    toward    higher   values. 

Structural  Steel — Bookings  of  fabri- 
cated material  for  new  construction  proj- 
ects in  this  territory  have  been  fairly 
heavy  during  the  pastweek  and  the  steel 
industry  is  looking  forward  to  a  steady 
improvement  in  the  amount  of  business 
released.  There  are  numerous  large  op- 
erations in  prospect,  many  of  which  will 
be  sent  out  for  estimates  within  the  next

week  or  so.  The  shortage  of  brick  is 
said  to  be  holding-  back  considerable  new 
building-  for  which  plans  are  finished. 
According  to.  the  Iron  Trade  Review  buy- 
ing in  the  Metropolitan  district  so  far  this 
year  agg-regates  160,000  tons,  or  about 
50,000  tons  above  normal  as  based  upon 
figures  for  the  past  ten  years.  Practi- 
cally all  Eastern  fabricators  are  already 
booked  for  more  than  fifty  per  cent,  of 
their  yearly  output  with  deliveries  on 
sizable  tonnages  running  about  three 
months.  Prices  on  shapes  are  fairly 
steady   and   quotations   on   fabricated   ma- 


terial, erected  in  commercial  structures 
range   from    $67    to    $75   per   ton. 

Reinforcing  Bars — Better  demand  has 
characterized  this  market  during  the 
week  or  so  due  to  the  improved  outlook 
for  industrial  construction  and  the  award 
of  a  number  of  school  projects.  Consider- 
able new  work  is  being  planned  and  the 
prospects  are  growing  better  all  the  time. 
Prices  are  firm  and  without  material

the  season.  Demand  is  very  active  and 
although  municipal  business  is  lighter 
than  anticipated  private  buyers  are  mak- 
ing relatively  heavy  commitments.  The 
majority  of  the  pipe  plants  are  operating 
from  eighty  to  one  hundred  per  cent  of 
capacity  and  foundries  are  booked  ahead 
for  several  months.  The  increased  busi- 
ness of  the  past  month  or  so  has  slowed 
down  deliveries  somewhat.  Prices  are 
unchanged  but  likely  to  advance  without 
notice.  Ne-w  York  quotations  are  $48.80 
per  net  ton  on  6  in.  and  larger;  $53.80  on 
4  in.  and  5  in.,  and  $63.80  for  3  in.,  with 
Class  A  and   gas  pipe  $4  extra  per  ton. 

RooUng  and  Building:  Papers — The  sit- 
uation is  unchanged.  Demand  is  keen 
and  prices  steady.  Jobbers'  stocks  are 
adequate  for  all  current  demands  and 
shipments  out  of  stock  are  prompt.  The 
suburban  building  program  is  largely  re- 
sponsible for  the  excellent  business  being 
enjoyed    in   this   line. 

Builders'  Hardware — Business  in  this 
line  is  excellent  and  both  manufacturers 
and  dealers  anticipate  a  continuation  of 
active  demand  while  the  present  building 
Ijoom  lasts.  Jobbers  are  experiencing 
some  difficulty  in  keeping  their  stocks  in 
order  and  recently  have  made  heavy  com- 
mitments against  a  possible  increase  in 
prices.  There  are  strong  presentments 
that  hardware  prices  are  due  for  a  sharp 
advance  but  nothing  definite  in  this  re- 
gard has  been  announced  as  yet. 

Window  Glass — Demand  is  very  keen 
and  jobbers  all  are  looking  for  a  steady 
increase  as  the  summer  approaches. 
Local  stocks  are  said  to  be  sufficient  for 
all  business  in  sight  and  prices  are  ex- 
tremely firm. 

Nails — The  nail  market  has  not  changed 
to  any  great  extent  during  the  past  week. 
Buying  is  spotty,  with  reports  of  excel- 
lent demand  from  some  districts  and  very 
light  orders  from  others.  The  buying  is 
localized  largely  and  is  in  a  measure  a 
reflection  of  the  amount  of  active  con- 
struction in  any  given  section.  Prices 
continue  to  vary  according  to  rate  of 
demand,  but  New  York  quotations  are 
based  upon  the  following  schedule:  $3.35 
base,  per  keg  for  wire  nails,  and  $3.90 
base,   per  keg,  for   cut  nails. 

Linseed  Oil — There  has  been  a  very  de- 
cided improvement  in  the  tone  of  this 
market  during  the  last  week  or  so  and 
although  buying  is  not  heavy  the  situa- 
tion is  far  more  active  than  it  was.  The 
majority  of  the  recent  business  has  been 
in  relatively  small  lot  orders  and  car- 
load lot  buying  is  still  negligible.  Local 
stocks  are  light  but  crushers  are  in  good 
position  to  supply  on  short  notice.    .

Edison  Service  at 
24-34  University  Place 

The  private  plant  in  the  manufacturing  buildings 
,   at  24-34  University  Place  has  been  closed  down 
and  Edison  Service  substituted 

After  an  investigation  made  by  our  engineers,  the 
owners,  the  Sailors  Snug  Harbor,  decided  that 
they  could  materially  reduce  the  operating  ex- 
penses of  the  building  by  using  Edison  Service. 
The  change  involves  the  electrification  of  five 
elevators  and  several  pumps  used  for  house  water 
and  for  operating  the  Sprinkler  System,  as  well  as 
the  lighting  of  the  building 

Our  engineers  are  At  Your  Service.  You  may  call 
upon  them  to  study  your  plant  and  make  recom- 
mendations without  placing  yourself  under  any 
obligation

Legislature  Fooled  About  Housing  "Crisis" 

In  its  report  to  the  Legislature  last  March  the  Lockwood 
Committee  asserted  that  New  York  City  was  still  victim 
of  a  housing  crisis,  short  of  accommodations  for  at  least 
80,000  families.  This  claim  was  advanced  as  justification 
for  the  extension  of  the  Emergency  Rent  Laws  and  the 
Lockwood  Committee  itself.  The  demands  of  the  com- 
mittee were  granted  by  the  Legislature  in  the  face  of  sev- 
eral authentic  reports  which  showed  that  the  housing  short- 
age was  being  grossly  exaggerated  by  the  Lockwood  Com- 
mittee and  its  Chief  Counsel. 

Facts  presented  to  the  Legislature  at  the  time  showed 
housing  conditions  greatly  improved  and  likely  to  be  com- 
pletely corrected  by  the  construction  work  then  in  progress. 
These  facts  had  been  gathered  through  exhaustive  surveys 
of  the  local  situation,  which  showed  a  real  revival  of  build- 
ing. This  revival,  if  not  interfered  with,  would,  it  was 
pointed  out,  adequately  supply  the  city's  housing  require- 
ments, excepting  in  the  matter  of  low-priced  living  quar- 
ters. ' 

The  Real  Estate  Board  of  New  York  stood  (firm  in 
maintaining  that  the  housing  crisis  had  already  passed  and 
that  the  remaining  local  shortage  would  be  eliminated  by 
the  residential  construction  then  under  way,  or  in  prospect 
for  an  early  start.  The  position  of  the  Real  Estate  Board 
was  based  upon  an  investigation  made  by  the  Building 
Trades  Employers'  Association,  in  which  it  was  shown  that 
in  New  York  City  building  was  in  progress  to  the  full 
capacity  of  the  industry  to  supply  labor  and  materials  and 
that  the  major  portion  of  the  active  construction  was  resi- 
dential in  character.  This,  it  was  felt,  could  in  the  near 
future  be  depended  upon  to  supply  the  demands  of  home- 
seekers.  This  survey,  completed  last  December,  showed 
that  the  supply  of  one  and  two-family  dwellings  had  then 
reached  the  saturation  point. 

More  recently  Tenement  House  Commissioner  Mann,  in 
addressing  the  New  York  Society  of  Architects,  expressed 
the  opinion  that  the  housing  situation  was  rapidly  becom- 
ing normal  and  that  within  the  next  few  months  there 
would  be  sufficient  accommodations  for  all  desiring  them, 
and,  indeed,  a  likelihood  of  a  surplus.  He  said  that  apart- 
ment houses,  erected  since  the  passage  of  the  Tax  Exemp- 
tion ordinance,  have  provided  for  at  least  50,000  families, 
and  that  the  multi-family  buildings  now  actually  under  con- 
struction or  planned  for  an  immediate  start  will  provide 
for  a  similar  number.  According  to  figures  tabulated  by 
the  Tenement  House  Department,  29,952  additional  fam- 
ilies can  be  accommodated  in  the  apartment  houses  which 
were  actually  being  erected  in  New  York  City  on  April  10. 
These  families  will  occupy  about  115,000  rooms  in  1,350 
buildings  which  are  being  constructed  at  a  total  estimated 
cost  of  $129,312,500.  They  do  not,  however,  include  those 
structures  which  were  started  under  the  provisions  of  the 
Tax  Exemption  ordinance  and  completed  before  these  fig- 
ures were  tabulated. 

This  report  of  the  Tenement  House  Department  shows 
108  tenement  houses  being  erected  in  Manhattan ;  340  in 
the  Bronx,  545  in  Brooklyn  and  346  in  Queens.    The  Man- 


hattan multi-family  buildings  will  supply  homes  for  4,976 
families,  while  those  in  the  Bronx  will  house  14,066;  in 
Brooklyn,  7,895,  and  in  Queens,  2,960.  This  is  exclusive 
of  living  quarters  being  provided  in  the  one  and  two- 
family  dwellings  which  are  now  being  erected  in  great 
numbers  in  Brooklyn,  Queens  and  the  Bronx,  and  which 
do  not  come  under  the  jurisdiction  of  the  Tenement  House 
Department. 

These  statistics,  confirming  as  they  do  the  statements 
made  at  the  time  the  surveys  of  the  Real  Estate  Board  and 
the  Building  Trades  Employers'  Association  were  given  to 
the  Legislature,  furnish  conclusive  evidence  that  the  hous- 
ing crisis  has  passed  and  that  the  alarms  sounded  by  the 
Lockwood  Committee  at  the  last  session  of  the  Legislature 
were  baseless.  With  the  elimination  of  the  shortage 
clearly  evident,  the  Legislature  at  the  very  outset  of  its 
next  session  should  repeal  the  drastic  Emergency  Rent 
Laws  which  are  so  damaging  to  real  estate  values  in 
Greater  New  York. 


Labor  May  Pay  Dearly  for  Present  Policy 

Certainly  if  labor  leaders  in  the  metropolis  were  far- 
sighted,  if  they  were  to  apply  logic  to  the  situation  and 
abandon  the  grasping  policy  which  they  continue  to  urge 
upon  their  followers,  they  would  regard  as  of  the  highest 
value  the  recent  comments  of  Mr.  Clarence  H.  Kelsey, 
President  of  the  Title  Guaranty  and  Trust  Company,  on 
building  conditions  now  prevailing  in  New  York  City.  Mr. 
Kelsey  declares  there  is  general  alarm  on  the  part  of 
lenders  and  cautious  builders,  too,  on  the  construction  sit- 
uation as  related  to  apartment  houses.  Mr.  Kelsey  speaks 
as  an  expert,  his  are  the  words  of  a  recognized  authority, 
and  what  he  says  confirms  most  impressively  the  review 
of  the  mortgage  money  situation  given  in  The  Record  and 
Guide  on  May  13,  when  this  publication  reported  that  the 
excessive  demands  of  labor  were  convincing  the  lending 
institutions  that  a  new  policy  must  be  adopted  in  order  to 
check  unhealthy  developments. 

Commenting  on  the  building  activity  which  followed  the 
passage  of  the  Tax  Exemption  Law,  President  Kelsey 
observes  that  "there  was  plenty  of  money  to  lend,  there 
was  a  good  demand  for  the  space,  and  there  were  sufficient 
materials  and  labor  in  sight  to  start  the  movement,"  but, 
as  he  adds  significantly,  "the  pace  was  too  rapid."  Mate 
rials  went  up  in  price,  due  to  the  increased  demand,  while 
labor,  after  maintaining  war-peak  wages  right  along, 
"found  that  by  keeping  down  the  supply  of  mechanics  it 
could  exact  more  even  than  the  high  union  wage  scale." 
Then  resulted  the  enticing  of  labor  from  one  job  to  another 
by  the  offer  of  bonuses,  a  shortage  in  materials  developed, 
and  now,  as  Mr.  Kelsey  points  out,  building  costs  are  con- 
siderably higher  than  they  were  six  months  ago. 

Further  analyzing  the  situation  as  matters  stand  today, 
Mr.  Kelsey  says: 

"Buildings  are  making  very  slow  progress  because  of  the 
dearth  of  labor,  are  running  up  in  cost  beyond  the  expectations 
of  the  builders  because  of  the  conditions  stated,  and  it  is  be- 
ginning to  be  a  question  whether  the  builders  in  a  great  many 


678 


RECORD    AND    GUIDE 


June  3,  1922 


cases  will  be  able  to  complete  the  buildings  and  whether  their 
resources  will  hold  out  to  pay  the  heavier  carrying  charges 
because  of  the  delay  and  the  heavier  xosts  both  of  material 
and  labor. 

"This  is  not  the  worst  of  the  situation.  It  is  a  questioiT 
whether  the  builders  who  are  able  to  finish  can  get  the  rents 
which  they  expected,  or  the  prices  which  they  expected  if 
they  wish  to  sell  their  properties.  In  the  estimation  of  a  great 
many,  the  home  construction  movement  in  Greater  New  York 
is  overdone  already — certainly  for  the  higher  priced  accommo- 
dations. 

"It  is  because  the  lending  institutions  see  these  conditions 
afifecting  the  building  market  that  they  are  declining  to  finance 
any  new  construction  and  are  advising  builders  not  to  begin 
anything  new.  It  is  not  too  late  to  prevent  anything  in  the 
way  of  a  slump  by  exercising  firmness  and  self-control  in  the 
present  situation  and  refusing  new  loans.  If  labor  would  come 
to' its  senses  and  try  to  earn  its  wages  no  matter  what  they  are; 
in- other  words,  would  sell  production  at  an  honest  cost  instead 
of  time  with  very  poor  results,  there  might  be  some  chance 
.'or  a  much  cheaper  type  of  house  for  those  who  must  have  a 
low  rent— $6  or  $8  per  room. 


"If  other  construction  could  cease  s. o  that  materials  might 
come  down  to  something  like  a  fair  figure  and  labor  could  be 
in  such  supply  that  it  was  eager  to  sell  its  services  instead  of 
entirely  indififerent  about  it,  there  would  be  room  for  a  mod- 
erate amount  of  activity  in  the  cheaper  style  of  house.  At 
present  nothing  is  being  done  for  the  occupancy  of  such  houses, 
and  the  supply  of  the  other  kind  is  approaching  a  decided 
surplus." 

President  Kelsey's  statements,  like  those  of  other  leaders 
of  the  lending  institutions,  emphasizes  the  responsibility  of 
labor  in  the  present  situation.  It  must  be  borne  in  mind 
that  labor  constitutes  about  85  per  cent,  of  the  cost  of 
building,  and  this  fact  explains  why  there  can  be  no  appre- 
ciable reduction  in  building  costs  until  wages  come  down  to 
a  fairer  basis.  And  the  reason  why  labor  leaders  would 
urge  a  lower  scale  if  they  were  far-sighted  is  equally 
patent;  because  if  they  longer  delay  in  taking  such  action 
there  will  be  a  cessation  of  building  after  present  projects 
are  finished  and  labor  then  will  have  no  work  and  conse- 
quently no  wages. 


Operation  Involving  Many  Properties  Aggregates  Over  Four  Million  Dollars 


CHARLES  F.  NOYES  Company  last  week  closed  a  series  of 
transactions  involving  approximately  $4,250,000  and  affecting 
fifteen  properties  including  the  Mercantile  Building,  at 
23rd  Street  and  Fourth  Avenue;  the  big  Partola  Building  on 
Sixth  Avenue,  20th  to  21st  Streets;  a  Fifth  Avenue  mansion;  and 
twelve  other  properties  located  in  Manhattan,  Bronx  and  Queens. 
It  is  the  most  spectacular  deal  in  many  ways  that  has  been  dosed 
for  a  long  time.  As  a  consequence  the  U.  S.  Realty  &  Improve- 
ment Company  liquidates  two  large  units.  This  many-sided  trans- 
action involves  the  purchase  by  Wilham  F.  Kenny  of  the  11-story 
Mercantile  Building,  covering  a  plot  of  18,500  sq.  ft.,  including 
44-60  East  23rd  Street,  304-8  Fourth  Avenue  and  45  East  22nd 
Street.  This  building,  valued  at  Two  Million  Dollars,  has  six 
elevators  and  automatic  sprinklers  and  is  one  of  the  finest  invest- 
ment properties  in  the  mercantile  district.  It  carries  a  rent-roll  of 
$240,000  per  annum  and  has  a  frontage  of  175  feet  on  23rd  Street, 
83  feet  on  Fourth  Avenue  and  25  feet  on  22nd  Street. 

In  the  same  deal  a  client  of  Beardsley,  Hemmens  &  Taylor,  at- 
torneys, becomes  the  owner  of  the  former  Adams-O'Neil  property 
occupying  the  entire  block  front  on  the  westerly  side  of  Sixth  Ave- 
nue from  20th  to  21st  Street,  a  property  costing  the  sellers  over 
$2,300,000  and  leased  three  years  ago  to  the  Partola  Manufacturing 
Company.  Mr.  Partos  when  he  obtained  the  lease  spent  about 
$250,000  on  improvements,  renamed  the  building  after  his  com- 
pany, Partola  Building,  and  subleased  the  premises  for  about 
$250,000  per  annum.  This  huge  building  covers  36,000  sq.  ft.  of 
ground;  contains  9  elevators  has  automatic  sprinklers  and  found  a 
quick  rental  market  when  put  in  proper  condition.  It  is  leased  to 
the  Partola  Manufacturing  Company  on  a  net  rental  basis,  with  an 
income   of  $100,000  per   annum   net   during  the   last   fifteen  years. 

The  United  States  Realty  &  Improvement  Company  by  the  ex- 
change acquired  a  Fifth  Avenue  corner  in  the  Eighties,  the  exact 


identity  of  which  is  not  announced.  The  United  States  Realty 
Company  also  acquired  valuable  improved  and  unimproved  proper- 
ties in  New  York  City,  Brooklyn  and  Jamaica,  including  six  lots 
on  Southern  Boulevard  between  147th  and  149th  Streets;  six  lots 
on  Timpson  Place  between  144th  and  147th  Streets ;  five  and  a  half 
lots  at  Castle  Hill  and  Railroad  Avenue  two  lots  at  the  corner 
of  Gleason  and  Leland  Avenue;  two  lots  on  the  south  side  of 
149th  Street  near  Timpson  Place;  two  lots  on  91st  Street,  Brook- 
lyn, between  Third  and  Fourth  Avenues ;  two  lots  on  90th  Street ; 
two  lots  on  93rd  Street ;  two  lots  on  94th  Street,  all  in  the  same 
general  vicinity;  twelve  lots  on  Tenth  Avenue  and  48th  Street, 
Brooklyn,  and,  a  large  plot  at  Jamaica.  The  United  States  Realty 
Company  also  acquired  the  beautiful  residence  of  sixteen  rooms 
and  four  baths,  with  garage  and  other  buildings  at  94th  Street  and 
Shore  Road,  Brooklyn,  with  a  frontage  of  120  feet  on  Shore  Road, 
218  feet  on  94th  Street  and  a  200-foot  frontage  on  93rd  Street.  This 
residence,  the  first  home  of  William  F.  Kenny,  was  recently 
altered  and  renovated. 

The  deal  is  of  particular  interest  because  it  shows  that  the  large 
investors  are  taking  choice  Manhattan  properties  for  income  pur- 
poses. The  properties  acquired  by  Mr.  Kenny  will  be  held  for 
investment  and  the  properties  taken  by  the  United  States  Realty  & 
Improvement  Company  will  be  offered  for  resale.  Clarke  G.  Dailey 
was  one  of  the  advisers  of  the  United  States  Realty  &  Improvement 
Company  in  connection  with  the  transaction.  Babbage  &  Sande's 
were  the  attorneys  for  the  United  States  Realty,  and  R.  G.  Red- 
lefsen,  of  Beardsley,  Hemmens  &  Taylor,  represented  Mr.  Kenny's 
interests.  Negotiations  are  pending  through  the  Noyes  Company 
for  the  resale  of  the  properties  taken  by  the  United  States  Realty 
&  Improvement  Company.  The  "Mercantile  Building"  at  23rd 
Street  and  Fourth  Avenue,  has  been  placed  in  the  hands  of  the 
Charles  F.  Noyes  Company  for  management,  by  Mr.  Kenny. 


New  York  Building  Congress  Will  Hold  Luncheon  Next  Tuesday 


THE  Committee  on  Surveys  of  the  New  York  Building 
Congress  has  planned  to  hold  the  second  of  its  series  of 
members'  luncheons  at  the  Pennsylvania  Hotel,  Tuesday, 
June  6,  at  12:45  p.  m.  sharp.  Several  weeks  ago  the  first  of  the 
series  was  held  at  the  Engineers'  Club  and  the  attendance  was 
so  large  and  those  present  evidenced  such  interest  in  the 
efforts  of  this  organization  that  the  committee  in  charge  de- 
cided to  hold  subsequent  luncheons  at  a  place  where  an  un- 
limited number  could  be  accommodated  and  permit  members  to 
invite  as  many  guests  as  they  desired. 

The  principal  speaker  at  the  luncheon  next  Tuesday  will  be 
Louis  A.  Wilson,  Director  of  Vocational  and  Extension  Educa- 
tion of  the  New  York  State  Department  of  Education.  He 
will  deliver  an  informal  address  on  the  subject  of  "Apprentice- 


ship in  the  Building  Industry."  Mr.  Wilson,  in  addition  to 
being  a  most  interesting  speaker  who  is  thoroughly  acquainted 
with  his  subject,  has  been  most  helpful  to  the  Congress  Com- 
mittee on  Apprenticeship,  in  its  efforts  to  plan  and  foster  ap- 
prentice schools  for  the  New  York  building  industry. 

Burt  L.  Fenner,  chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Apprentice- 
ship of  the  New  York  Building  Congress,  will  introduce  Mr. 
Wilson  and  give  a  brief  outline  of  the  work  already  accom- 
plished by  his  committee. 

The  committee  arranging  these  luncheons  assure  the  mem- 
bers that  all  who  come  will  be  accommodated  and  urge  as 
large  an  attendance  as  possible  as  the  messages  of  both  Mr. 
Wilson  and  Mr.  Fenner  will  be  of  the  utmost  importance  not 
only  to  Congress  members   but  to  everyone  in  the  industry.

Street  to  Relieve  Grand  Central  and  Pennsylvania  Terminals 

COMMUTERS  from  Westchester,  ^ong  Island  and  New 
Jersey  are  becoming  more  numerous  as  the  over- 
crowded conditions  in  New  York  City  force  people 
into  the  surrounding  suburbs  for  homes  where  they  may  get 
more  light  and  air,  and  have  more  room  than  they  can  obtain 
for  the  same  money  in  the  apartment  houses  of  the  city.  In 
fact,  the  terminal  facilities  at  all  the  big  railroads  are  severely 
taxed  at  morning  and  evening  rush  hours  for  just  the  same 
reasons  that  result  in  the  jams  on  the  subways  There  have 
been  no  considerable  additions  to  these  terminals  since  the 
Pennsylvania  and  Grand  Central  Terminal  Stations  were  built. 
The  population  of  the  city  and  its  suburbs  has  in  the  meantime 
increased  more  than  the  builders  of  these  huge  passenger  sta- 
tions anticipated,  while  the  attractions  which  New  York  always 
offers  to  visitors  from  the  Central  and  Far  West  and  the 
South  have  been  enhanced  to  a  degree  which  has  resulted  in  a 
large  increase  in  the  throngs  of  Westerners  and  Southerners 
coming  here  for  pleasure  and  for  business. 

Since  the  Pennsylvania  station  was  built  the  waiting  room 
and  other  arrangements  for  the  accommodation  of  the  Long 
Island  suburban  traffic  have  been  enlarged  several  times  by 
taking  over  space  allotted  to  other  departments  of  the  business. 
A  number  of  additional  facilities  for  the  local  traffic  have  also 
been  installed  in  Grand  Central  Station  since  the  new  struc- 
ture was  originally  thrown  open  to  the  public.  Space  for- 
merly used  by  newstands  is  now  occupied  by  booths  for 
ticket  sellers.  These  changes  are  indicative  of  the  situation  at 
the  two  largest  stations,  and  also  at  the  Lackawanna  Station 
at  Hoboken,  and  the  Jersey  terminals  of  the  Erie,  the  Jersey 
Central  and  West  Shore  Railroads,  where  no  improvements 
have  been  made  for  many  years. 

The  overcrowding  of  these  terminals  by  both  through  and 
local  traffic  has  led  to  the  discussion  of  the  question  of  how 
to  obtain  relief  for  all  classes  of  passengers  without  incurring 
the  huge  expense  of  the  building  of  more  structures  like  the 
Grand  Central  and  Pennsylvania  stations,  which  are  more  orna- 
mental from  an  architectural  standpoint  than  is  necessary 
in  the  handling  of  short  haul  business.  Separating  the  subur- 
ban from  the  through  traffic  has  been  suggested  as  the  most 
feasible  of  several  plans  receiving  attention  of  the  Rapid  Tran- 
sit Commission  and  the  railroad  officials.  One  of  the  proposals 
which  has  met  with  considerable  support  is  that  a  suburban 
station  for  handling  the  Westchester  and  Long  Island  com- 
muting business  be  constructed  on  the  old  car  barn  site 
bounded  by  Fourth  and  Lexington  avenues  between  32d  and 
33d  streets.  This  proposition  became  public  at  a  meeting 
of  the  Transit  Commission  last  week,  at  which  Chairman  Mc- 
Aneny  admitted  that  members  had  been  in  informal  consulta- 
tion with  the  Westchester  Transit  Commission  and  its  en- 
gineers upon  the  plan,  which  would  revolutionize  suburban 
terminal  facilities  here. 

"Traffic  at  Grand  Central  Terminal  and  the  Pennsylvania 
station  already  has  reached  such  proportions  as  to  approach 
unpleasant  congestion,"  Mr.  McAneny  said.  "This  congestion 
is  certain  to  increase  with  future  growth  of  the  city.  The  sit- 
uation is  bound,  in  time,  to  force  the  establishment  of  a 
separate  terminal  for  this  suburban  traffic,  and  it  is  highly 
probable  that  a  subway  to  care  for  the  Westchester  traffic  will 
be  found  necessary. 

"Five  main  line  surface  routes,  spread  out  fanlike  from  the 


city  over  Westchester,  now  pour  thousands  into  the  city  daily. 
Such  a  subway  would  have  to  run  through  the  heart  of  the 
city,  because  already  this  suburban  traffic  is  becoming  hard 
to  handle  on  the  city's  transit  facilities." 

Under  the  plan  the  Thirty-third  street  station  would  be- 
come a  distribution  point  of  prime  importance.  Mr.  McAneny 
suggested  that  steps  be  taken  to  obtain  some  sort  of  hold  on 
the  site  so  it  could  not  be  used  for  anything  else  until  the 
proposed  plan  can  be  worked  out  and  adopted  or  rejected  for 
some  other  solution  of  the  problem.  He  would  not  say 
whether  or  not  officials  of  the  steam  roads  concerned  had  been 
consulted. 

"As  yet  the  whole  thing  is  sketchy,"  he  said,  "but  I  think  it 
can  do  no  harm  to  say  that  Commissioner  Harkness,  Daniel  L. 
Turner,  the  commission's  consulting  engineer,  and  myself  have 
had  some  informal  discussion,  at  their  request,  with  the  mem- 
bers and  engineers  of  the  Westchester  commission." 

What  makes  this  particular  location  especially  desirable  for 
such  a  station  is  that  the  site  which  is  owned  by  the  New  York 
Railways  Company,  can  be  connected  with  the  tracks  at  Grand 
Central  Terminal  along  the  right  of  way  on  Fourth  avenue, 
owned  by  the  railroad  company.  Connections  with  the  Long 
Island  tube  of  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad  also  can  easily  be 
effected  so  that  traffic  from  the  Island  could  be  diverted  to  the 
new  station.  If  the  project  should  prove  practical  upon  further 
consideration  of  the  legal  and  engineering  questions  involved 
the  commission  will  probably  set  dates  for  public  hearings  to 
give  opportunity  for  suggestions  and  criticism  of  the  plan. 

That  the  commission  had  been  considering  such  a  project 
came  out  during  the  course  of  a  hearing  before  the  commis- 
sion of  an  appeal  by  the  Thirty-third  Street  Board  of  Trade 
that  the  Thirty-third  street  station  of  the  East  Side  subway  be 
made  an  express  stop. 

Another  factor  in  the  working  out  of  the  plan  is  what  con- 
nection would  have  to  be  made  with  the  proposed  underground 
loop  connecting  the  various  subways  at  33d  and  42d  streets, 
Fourth  avenue  and  Broadway. 

Some  opposition  to  the  proposal  has  already  been  voiced 
by  the  Forty-second  Street  Property  Owners  and  Merchants' 
Association,  which  fears  that  if  suburban  traffic  is  diverted 
from  Grand  Central  Terminal  to  Thirty-third  street  values  of 
property  in  the  Terminal  Zone  will  be  injured  and  business  in 
Forty-second  street  stores  materially  cut  into. 

Another  step  taken  to  provide  the  city  with  adequate  con- 
nections with  its  suburbs  was  made  last  Wednesday  when 
ground  was  broken  in  Jersey  City  for  the  vehicular  tunnel.  This 
action  was  taken  notwithstanding  the  opposition  of  Mayor 
Frank  Hague  and  the  New  Jersey  Tunnel  Commissioners  to 
work  being  started  until  several  streets  should  be  taken  over 
for  approaches  to  the  tunnel  at  a  cost  of  $500,000.  The  New 
York  Commissioners  refused  to  sanction  the  expenditure  of 
this  money  at  the  present  time.  Officials  from  headquarters  in 
Manhattan  went  to  New  Jersey  and  began  the  digging  on  the 
site  selected  for  the  mouths  of  the  tunnels  on  property  acquired 
from  the  Erie  Railroad.  The  engineers  who  took  part  in  the 
ceremony  were  Clifford  M.  Holland,  M.  H.  Freeman  and  M.  I. 
Killmcr.  Work  has  already  been  started  on  the  New  York  side 
so  that  the  vehicular  tunnel  is  now  under  way  at  both  ends 
and  should  be  completed  in  about  three  years.

Future   of   Title   Insurance    and   Its   Great   Possibilities 

Advantages  of  Local  and  National  Operations  Discussed  by  Cyril  H,  Burdett, 
Vice-President  of  the  New  York  Title  and  Mortgage  Company 


PROTECTION  of  property  owners  by  means  of  title  insurance 
was  the  subject  of  discussion  at  annual  convention  of  the 
Pennsylvania  Title  Association  held  recently  at  Pittsburgh. 
One  of  the  principal  addresses  was  that  made  by  Cyril  H.  Burdett, 
Vice-President  of  the  New  York  Title  and  Mortgage  Company, 
who  took  for  his  subject,  "The  Future  of  Title  Insurance  and  Its 
Possibilities."  The  speaker  reviewed  the  general  policy  pursued  by 
the  New  York  and  Philadelphia  companies  since  they  began  business 
in  the  late  eighties  and  said  that  it  had  changed  very  little  during 
this  period.  The  attitude  of  the  Companies  had  been  and  still  is 
to  insure  titles  which  are  believed  to  be  good,  and  to  refuse  to 
insure  those  which  are  felt  to  be  doubtful.  One  company,  he 
pointed  out,  which  had  for  an  extra  fee  insured  doubtful  titles  had 
abandoned  the  plan.    Mr.  Burdett  continued : 

"Under  our  present  system,  the  losses  of  the  companies  are 
very  small.  An  investigation,  conducted  about  two  years  ago,  by 
a  large  title  msurance  company  in  the  West,  demonstrated  this 
fact.  It  was  found  that  one  company,  with  approximately 
$33,000,000  of  insurance  outstanding,  extending  over  a  period 
of  eight  years,  had  paid  in  losses  only  $2,711.07.  Other  com- 
panies reported  losses  averaging  from  i/^  of  1  per  cent  to  Sy^ 
per  cent,  of  premiums  received  This  would  mean,  were  the 
income  of  a  company  for  premiums — which  I  shall  assume  in- 
cludes the  fees  for  title  examination  as  well — amounted  to 
$1,000,000,  a  loss  of  from  $10,000  to  $55,000  a  year.  I  believe 
that  the  higher  figure  very  seldom  occurs,  and  that  the  average 
losses  paid  by  our  title  companies,  in  the  larger  cities,  would 
be  nearer  $25,000  on  a  million  dollars  income.  Of  course,  we 
all  know  that  the  reason  why  our  losses  are  so  small  is  not 
because  we  find  the  titles  perfect,  but  because  we  try  to  make 
them  perfect,  before  we  insure  them,  and  this  supervision  and 
direction  of  the  means  by  which  titles  brought  before  us  are 
made  insurable  is  one  of  the  most  troublesome  features  of  our 
business. 

"It  is  interesting  to  compare  our  losses  with  those  paid  b> 
fire  insurance  companies,  which  average  about  50  per  cent  of 
the  premiums  receivea,  with  expenses  of  about  35  per  cent. 
Our  expenses  average  from  50  per  cent,  to  85  per  cent. 

"The  most  frequent  losses  which  the  companies  have  to  meet 
arise  where  policies  insure  marketability  of  title,  and  those  of 
us  who  are  familiar  with  the  business  in  large  cities,  especially 
where  there  is  more  than  one  title  company,  find  the  greatest 
trouble  arises  from  the  questioning  of  titles  upon  re-e.\amina- 
tion  by  one  or  the  other  of  our  competitors,  or  by  the  regular 
practitioner,  resulting  sometimes  in  considerable  expenditures 
in  order  to  remove  doubts  as  to  the  validity  of  title.  It  is  very 
seldom  that  any  title  company  has  a  direct  attack  upon  the  title 
to  the  premises  insured.  The  experience  of  all  of  us,  I  think, 
will  show  that  our  most  frequent  losses,  although  not  necessar- 
ily the  largest  losses,  arise  by  reason  of  oversights  and  omis- 
sions in  our  own  offices. 

"It  might  be  claimed  that  all  this  is  an  argument  against  the 
need  of  title  insurance,  but  it  cannot  be  denied  that  there  are 
many  bad  titles,  and  no  one  can  know  in  which  class  his  is  in- 
cluded. A  search  must  be  made  to  ascertain  the  apparent  con- 
dition of  the  title,  and  though  seemingly  good  a  policy  of  insur- 
ance is  a  necessary  protection.  It  is  unnecessary  to  emphasize 
all  the  dangers  which  are  so  familiar  to  us  in  the  history  of 
titles,  such  as  forgeries,  invalid  wills,  dower  claims,  undis- 
covered heirs,  defective  acknowledgments,  illegal  trusts,  de- 
fective suits  and  the  like,  which  so  frequently  occur.  Many  of 
such  titles  are  examined  by  us  and  refused  insurance,  and  for 
this  reason  we  escape  large  losses. 

"In  the  case  of  no  other  class  of  insurance  is  the  cost  of 
examination  of  the  risk  so  large  as  in  connection  with  the 
insurance  of  real  estate  titles,  and  this  cost  usually  leaves  a 
comparatively  small  margin  of  the  fees  to  be  apportioned  as  a 
reserve  for  the  payment  of  losses." 


Taking  up  the  question  of  the  Torrens  Law,  Mr.  Burdett  said 
that  this  measure  did  not  supplant  what  the  title  insurance  com- 
panies were  doing  but  was  setting  up  short  statutes  of  limitation  in 
an  attempt  to  destroy  the  rights  which  the  statutes  of  our  States 
have  given  to  those  who  are  in  a  position  to  assert  claims  against 
persons  in  possession  of  real  property.  He  added  that  if  these 
limitations  were  set  up  independently  of  the  Torrens  Law  the  title 
companies  could  easily  pass  more  titles  without  trouble,  and  declared 
the  popularity  of  the  Torrens  Law  in  New  York  City  was  meas- 
ured by  the  fact  that  in  thirteen  years  since  it  had  been  on  the 
statute  books  there  had  been  only  217  registrations  under  it.  Mr. 
Burdett  gave  the  history  of  the  guaranteeing  by  surety  companies 
of  titles  certified  by  attorneys  selected  by  district  land  banks  in  the 
system  of  the  Federal  Farm  Loan  Bureau.    He  said: 

"I  have  been  interested  to  ascertain  just  how  this  plan  has  been  working 
and  recently  made  inquiry  of  the  Farm  Loan  Bureau.  They  write: 
'The  plan  of  insurance  against  loss  on  account  of  title  worked  out  by 
several  of  the  federal  land  banks  has  proven  satisfactory  in  every 
particular  to  date.  No  losses  have  been  reported  to  us  by  reason  of  defect 
in  title,  although  we  were  advised  some  time  siuce  by  the  Federal  Land 
Bank  of  Columbia,  S.  C,  that  they  had  a  case  in  which  it  seemed  probable 
they  would  ha^'c  to  present  a  claim.*  As  title  companies,  we  fought  this 
procedure  as  revolutionary,  and  fraught  with  serious  consequences,  but 
the  result  would  seem  to  prove  that  it  was  not  so  great  a  danger  after 
all  and  it  may  be  that  we  could  branch  out,  not  perhaps  in  this 
particular  direction,  but  in  others  seemingly  as  radical,  without  incurring 
any    great    losses. 

"On  the  other  hand,  there  is  some  justification  for  the  attitude  taken 
by  the  title  companies  in  refusing  this  business.  The  mere  lapse  of 
time  is  not  the  only  factor  entering  into  the  running  of  the  statute  of 
limitations.  Proof  must  be  obtained  that  all  parties  having  a  cliam  against 
the  title  of  a  record  owner  have  been  under  no  legal  disabilities,  such  as 
infancy  or  incompetency,  during  the  running  of  the   statute." 

Mr.  Burdett  discussed  the  question  of  invasion  of  each  others 
respective  fields  by  surety  and  title  companies  and  discountenanced 
it.  He  suggested  the  future  development  of  the  title  business  along 
national  instead  of  local  lines.     On  this  subject  he  said: 

"The  development  of  title  insurance  business,  as  I  have  so  far  shown, 
is  the  liberalizing  of  policy.  At  the  present  time  most,  if  not  all,  of  the 
title  insurance  companies  confine  their  insurance  to  their  local  city.  In 
some  few  instances  they  extend  their  operations  to  the  boundaries  of  the 
State,  where  they  can  send  their  own  employees  to  make  examinations. 
They  never  .go  out  of  their  State,  and  never  insure  the  examination  by^ 
attorneys  not  in  their  regular  employment.  I  believe  the  time  has  now 
come  when  the  title  insurance  companies  situated  in  our  large  cities  and 
having  large  capital  should  extend  their  field  of  action  by  giving  the 
benefit  of  the  protection  of  their  capital  to  the  insuring  of  titles  through- 
out the  country,  just  as  fire  and  life  insurance  companies,  organized  and 
located  in  New  York,  Chicago,  Philadelphia,  and  other  cities,  issue  policies 
anywhere  in  the  United  States.  All  these  classes  of  companies  have 
outgrown  the  provincialism  which  would  confine  their  operations  to  a 
single  State.     Title  companies  can  do  the  same. 

"Out  of  thirty-five  States  where  investigation  has  been  made,  I  find 
that  a  title  insurance  company  may  enter  and  appoint  agents  in  seven- 
teen, the  provisions  with  reference  to  qualifying  being  either  nominal  or 
requiring  the  payment  of  small  fees,  and,  in  some  cases,  the  imposition 
of  a  small  tax  upon  the  fees  collected.  In  sixteen  States,  deposits  of 
securities  arc  required  to  be  made,  either  in  the  State  where  the  business 
is  to  he  carried  on,  or  in  the  State  where  the  home  office  is  located,  in 
most  cases,  .flOO.OOO.  This  is  the  same  method  adopted  for  the  qualifica- 
tion of  surety  companies  doing  business  in  such  States.  The  law  of  the 
State  of  New  York  was  changed  last  year  so  as  to  allow  title  assurance 
companies  organized  under  the  law  of  that  State  to  deposit  securities  tor 
the  protection  of  their  policyholders  with  the  Superintendent  of  Insur- 
ance, where  the  laws  of  other  States  made  it  a  condition  precedent  to 
doing  business  in  those  States  that  such  securities  should  be  so  deposited. 
The  only  States  found  where  the  laws  do  not  allow  outside  title  insurance 
companies  to  do  business  are  the  States  of  Ohio  and  Iowa." 

Using  the  same  methods  and  agencies  as  large  life  insurance  com- 
panies Mr.  Burdett  said  title  companies  could  extend  their  business 
throughout  the  country.     In  conclusion  he  summed  up  as  follows: 

"It  requires  only  a  general  education  on  the  part  of  the  public  at  large 
as  to  the  value  of  title  insurance.  In  order  to  convince  the  public  as  to 
that  value  we  shall  have  to  broaden  our  methods,  make  the  policy  more 
inclusive,  assume  greater  risks  than  we  have  heretofore  taken,  and  con- 
vince the  public  that  we  are  giving  value  for  value.  When  the  time  comes 
that  National  Title  Insurance  is  a  department  of  every  title  insurance 
company,  those  companies  in  the  larger  States,  having  very  large  capital, 
will  of  course  be  able  to  inspire  greater  confidence  and  obtain  a  larger 
share  of  business.  The  companies  in  such  cities  as  New  York,  Philadel- 
phia, Pittsburgh,  Chicago  and  Kansas  City,  with  their  large  and  abundant 
capital,  should  be  the  pioneers  in  this  departure.  Until  title  insurance 
companies  have  expanded  their  activities  to  include  this  field,  they  will 
not  have  fulfilled  their  true  mission,  nor  have  realized  their  greatest  pos- 
sibilities."

New  Apartment  Hotel  Will  Occupy  Noted  Church  Site 

S.  W.  Straus  &  Co.  Underwrite  Bond  Issue  on  Eigliteen-Story   Structure  at 
Broadwa}^  and  Seventy-First  Street,  Designed  by  Maynicke  &  Franke 


WRECKING  contractors  have  demol- 
ished the  Church  of  the  Blessed 
Sacrament  which  for  a  number  of 
years  has  been  a  Sherman  Square  land- 
mark, to  make  way  for  the  construction  of 
an  eighteen-story  apartment  hotel.  This 
structure  will  be  located  at  the  southeast 
corner  of  Broadway  and  Seventy-first  street 
and  will  occupy  a  plot  with  a  Broadway 
frontage  of  112  feet  and  a  depth  of  175  feet 
on  Seventy-first  street.  This  plot  was  pur- 
chased several  months  ago  from  the  Church 
of  the  Blessed  Sacrament  by  the  George 
Dose  Engineering  Company,  Inc.,  43  West 
Twenty-seventh  street,  who  are  erecting 
this  building  as  an  investment. 

The  property  was  valued  at  approximately 
$1,000,000,  and  the  building  now  under  con- 
struction will  involve  an  outlay  of  more 
than  $2,000,000.  This  project  is  being 
financed  by  S.  W.  Straus  &  Co.,  who  re- 
cently underwrote  a  first  mortgage  serial 
bond  issue  of  $2,300,000  on  the  operation. 

This  structure  is  being  erected  according 
to  plans  and  specifications  prepared  by  May- 
nicke &  Franke,  architects,  25  East  Twenty- 
sixth  street,  and  will  be  eighteen  stories  in 
height,  with  basement  and  sub-basement. 
The  building  has  been  designed  with  set- 
backs as  required  by  the  provisions  of  the 
Zoning  Law,  and  when  completed  will  stand 
out  as  the  dominating  structure  on  Sherman 
Square. 

According  to  the  present  plans  the  build- 
ing will  contain  approximately  six  hundred 
guest  rooms,  with  baths,  but  the  suites  will 
be  so  arranged  that  they  may  be  utilized  as 
larger  units  at  the  discretion  of  the  tenant. 
The  ground  floor  will  be  devoted  to  stores 
on  the  Broadway  side.  The  main  entrance 
will  be  on  Seventy-first  street,  and  a  spa- 
cious entrance  corridor  will  lead  to  a  large 
lobby,  from  which  entrance  will  be  had  to 
the  restaurants,  lounge,  reception  rooms, 
etc.  The  kitchens  will  be  located  in  the 
basement  and  ground  floor. 

This  project,  which  will  be  known  as  the  St.  Gerard  Apart-  pleted  and  ready  for  occupancy  during  tlic  spring  of  1923. 
ment   Hotel,  is   being  erected   under   the   direction   and   super-      The  new  St.  Gerard  Apartments  arc  located  in  a  section  in 
vision    of    the    George    Dose    Engineering   Company,   who    are  which   are  grouped  a   number  of   high-class  hotels   and   apart- 
awarding  separate  contracts  for  the  various  branches  of  work  ments,  among  which   are   numbered   the   Ansonia,   St.  Andrew, 
as  the  job  proceeds.    It  is  anticipated  the  building  will  be  com-    Hamilton  and  Robert  Fulton.

sulted last  Wednesday  in  the  Building  Trades  Council  suspend- 
ing the  independent  union  and  its  15,000  members  from  that 
body. 

The  drastic  action  by  tlie  Council  leaves  the  building  trades 
workers  in  the  city  with  two  alternatives  :  A  war  by  the  Coun- 
cil on  the  independent  union  involving  a  tie-up  of  building  con- 
struction, or  a  surrender  by  the  Council  of  its  claim  for  col- 
lective agreement  with  the  employers  to  cover  all  crafts  in  the 
industry. 

C.  G.  Norman,  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Governors  of  the 


Building  Trades  Employers  Association  said  that  the  employers 
did  not  believe  that  any  attempt  would  be  made  by  the  Build- 
ing Trades  Council  to  call  strikes  against  l)nildcrs  employing 
independent  labor. 

"The  building  employers  will  continue  to  hire  the  independent 
laborers.  Dioguardi's  union  is  the  only  one  that  has  kept  its 
agreements  with  our  association  year  after  year." 

"The  suspension  of  the  15,000  laborers  of  our  union  by  the 
Building  Trades  Council  is  an  efl'ort  by  that  body,"  said  G.  B. 
Dioguardi,  General  President  of  the  independent  union,  "to 
comijcl  us  to  violate  our  agreement  with  the  New  York  Building 
Trades  Employers'  Association.  There  is  no  other  issue  in- 
volved. 

"The  independent  union  has  demonstrated  its  willingness  and 
competency  to  man  all  jobs  in  the  city."

Review  of  Real   Estate   Market  for  the  Current  Week 

Fifth  Avenue  and  Environs  Led  the  Deahng,  While  Parcels  in  Harlem  and  Green- 
wich Village  and  Big  Leases  Were  Other  Features 

Walk-up  apartment  houses  in  Harlem  were  in  good  demand, 
one  deal  alone  involving  eight  of  these  buildings.  Numerous 
dwellings  in  the  same  part  of  the  city  changed  hands.  The 
upper  West  Side  was  active  in  good  dwellings  and  elevator 
apartment  houses,  as  was  also  Washington  Heights.  In  the 
Dyckman  tract  a  good-sized  plot  was  bought  for  improvement. 

.•\  diversity  of  trading  was  witnessed  in  Greenwich  Village. 
Here  and  there  a  group  of  old  buildings  was  bought  as  a  site 
for  a  modern  structure,  while  old  dwellings  and  old  tenement 
houses  were  bought  both  by  operators  and  investors.  There 
will  long  be  interest  in  this  ancient  part  of  town  as  a  result 
of  the  new  influences  under  which  it  has  come.  The  most 
striking  sale  farther  downtown  was  that  of  a  West  street 
block  front  to  a  wholesale  commission  firm,  for  occupancy. 
An  impressive  sale  in  the  Chelsea  district  was  that  of  a  75- 
year-old  building  on  West  23d  street,  near  Eighth  avenue, 
which  was  sold  to  a  real  estate  firm  of  several  generations  who 
have  occupied  it  almost  since  it  was  built. 

There  was  some  activity  in  tenement  and  store  parcels  in 
Second  and  Third  avenues,  and  property  in  Madison  and  in 
Lexington  avenues  still  figures  actively.  In  the  South  street 
zone  a  firm  of  warehousemen  who  have  been  buying  ware- 
houses during  the  last  few  weeks  added  another  one  to  their 
group. 


C^  ONSIDERING  that  this  week  contained  the  day  that  is 
.  deemed  to  be  the  beginning  of  the  summer  holiday 
season  the  real  estate  market  was  not  at  all  languid. 
The  high  spots  of  it  were  the  sale  of  a  10-story  loft  building  in 
46th  street,  near  Fifth  avenue;  the  purchase  of  two  buildings 
in  West  56th  street,  near  Fifth  avenue,  by  merchants  in  West 
S7th  street;  the  leasing  of  an  old  dwelling  at  20  East  33d  street 
to  an  adjoining  owner  who  will  reimprove  the  site  of  both 
structures  with  a  modern  business  building;  the  sale  of  the 
northeast  corner  of  Fifth  avenue  and  16'th  street,  a  13-story 
business  building,  for  $1,000,000;  and  the  sale  of  several  fine 
dwellings  in  streets  north  of  59th  street  and  close  to  Fifth 
avenue;  while  an  entire  improved  block  front  in  Fifth  avenue, 
in  Harlem,  was  leased  for  a  long  term  of  years.  Consequently 
Fifth  avenue  may  be  said  to  have  led  the  market  of  the  week. 
A  transaction  as  interesting  as  any  was  the  leasing  of  the 
6-story  brick  building,  known  as  "Murray's,"  at  228-232  West 
42d  street,  west  of  Seventh  avenue,  and  in  the  theatre  zone, 
for  an  aggregate  term  of  63  years,  at  $4,500,000,  beside  acquir- 
ing the  balance  of  the  Murray  lease.  The  site  is  75x98.9  feet, 
and  is  situated  between  the  entrances  of  the  Cohan  &  Harris 
Theatre  and  the  Liberty  Theatre,  while  the  body  of  the  Cohan 
&  Harris  Theatre  abuts  the  property.  Charles  W  Groll  heads 
the  new  leasing  corporation. 


PRIVATE  REALTY  SALES. 


THE  total  number  of  sales  reported,  but  not

To    Increase   Its   Membership 

Representing  more  than  $100,000,000  of  invest- 
ed capital,  the  Forty-second  Street  Property 
Owners  and  Merchants  Association  late  last  week 
prepared  Tor  an  intensive  campaign  for  increase 
of  membership.  The  association  typifies  th^  rep- 
resentative property  owners  and  merchants  of 
the  Forty-second  street  business  district,  which 
embraces  in  its  scope  all  streets,  from  river  to 
river,  from  Thirty-eighth  to  Forty-sixth  street, 
inclusive.  Organized  three  years  ago  last  month 
the  association  has  a  membership  of  135  mer- 
chants, property  owners  and  lessees.  The  stead- 
ily growing  importance  of  the  entire  distirct 
has  aroused  the  organization  to  renewed  effort, 
with  the  result  that  it  has  two  thousand  good 
membership  prospects  in  sight.  The  district  has 
been  thoroughly  gone  over  recently  and  every 
prospect  worth  while  has  been  listed.  The  as- 
sociation seeks  membership  among  the  substan- 
tial smaller  merchants  as  well  as  the  large 
ones,  not  only  for  the  purpose  of  greater  effi- 
ciency, but  to  destroy  any  idea  that  it  is  a  silk 
stocking  organization. 

Wednesday,  Thursday  and  Friday  of  last  week 
were  given  over  to  luncheons  and  discussions  at 
Murrays  in  West  Forty-second  street  about  plana 
of  campaign.  In  the  past  there  has  been  no 
concerted  movement  for  increased  membership. 
Co-operative  activity  is  now  desired.  As  a  re- 
sult, each  member  agrees  to  spend  three  days  a 
week  interviewing  certain  prospects  and  urging 
them  to  join  the  organization.  It  was  organized 
originally  by  twenty-two  men  who  foresaw  the 
great  status  of  the  Forty-second  st^-eet  district. 
The  association  wants  every  business  element 
there  represented  in  its  membership.  Much  of 
its  work  during  the  last  three  years  has  been 
keeping  an  undesirable  class  of  tenancy  from  the 
neighborhood. 

The  membership  drive  will  finish  with  a  lunch- 
eon June  G  at  the  Biltmore,  at  12:30  o'clock.

Are  Bankers  Human  Beings? 

Too  much  protesting-  "We  are  human  and  friendly"  in  bank  advertising 
has  opened  the  question  whether  bankers  are  real  humans,  approachable 
ctnd  capable  of  friendship. 

This   Trust   Company    is   in    business    to   make   reasonable   profits— and  that's 

hutnaa. 

We  believe  that  a  Trust  Company  to  be  successful  must  give  full  measure  of 

service  in  dollars  zmd  cents  to  depositors  as  well  as  make  every  effort  to  help 

with  kindly  advice  in  problems  affecting  its  clients — and  that's  friendship.

Secretary   Hoover    Advises    Lumber    Industry    Reforms 

Four-Day  Conference  at  Washington   Considers  a  System  for  Inspection  and 
Guarantee  of  Quality,  Quantity  and  Grades  of  Lumber 


THE  four-day  preliminary  conference  of  American  lumber- 
men, called  at  the  suggestion  of  the  National  Manufacturers' 
Association  by  Secretary  Hoover  to  standardize  trade  nomen- 
clature and  grades,  to  eliminate  unnecessary  varieties  and  to  guar- 
antee and  protect  the  quality  and  tally  of  lumber  to  the  consumer, 
adjourned  Saturday.  With  its  numbers  largely  increased  by  rep- 
resentatives of  wholesale  and  retail  associations,  of  architects, 
engineers,  contractors,  and  other  consumers  such  as  the  railways, 
the  manufacturers  passed  a  number  of  resolutions  strongly  sup- 
porting a  national  program  of  simplification  of  practices  in  the 
industry.  The  conference,  as  a  whole,  also  voted  unanimously  to 
accept  the  agency  of  the  National  Manufacturers'  Association  in 
securing  properly  appointed  representatives  of  all  groups  inter- 
ested in  lumber  production  and  conversion,  with  a  view  to  the 
definite  adoption  of  standardized  nomenclature,  grades,  quality, 
markings  and  practices. 

The  hope  of  the  department  in  calling  this  preliminary  confer- 
ence was  provision  of  a  system  throughout  the  country  for  inspec- 
tion and  guarantee  of  the  quality,  quantity  and  grade  of  lumber, 
with  a  view  to  affording  all  possible  protection  to  the  consuming 
public;  that  ways  would  be  found  to  simplify  the  dimensions  of  lum- 
ber and  secure  the  right  proportion  of  lumber  to  different  types 
of  consumers  with  a  view  to  eliminating  waste,  decreasing  cost  of 
distribution,  and  to  see  that  agencies  for  accomplishing  these  pur- 
poses should  be  set  up  by  the  lumber  industry  itself. 

The  Secretary  of  Commerce  proposed  that  a  national  system  of 
inspection  and  certification  should  be  created  by  the  industry  to 
embrace  all  of  the  lumber  trade;  that  descriptions  of  the  different 
species  of  lumber  as  to  grade  and  quality  should  be  made  as  uni- 
form as  possible  throughout  the  country;  that  the  inspection  serv- 
ice should  be  open  to  consumers  in  settlement  of  all  disputes ;  and 
that,  in  order  better  to  establish  the  reputation  of  American  lumber 
products  abroad,  this  system  of  inspection  and  certification  should 
be  extended  to  foreign  countries.  The  Secretary  emphasized  the 
fact  that  all  these  ideas  are  being  applied  and  are  in  limited  opera- 
tion in  the  lumber  industry  in  different  parts  of  the  country,  that 
other  industries  have  been  able  themselves  to  establish  for  the  use 
of  their  own  members  and  the  public  such  a  system,  and  that  the 
desire  of  the  department  is  to  aid  in  securing  the  consolidation  of 
the  various  organized  units  in  the  industry  to  the  extent  of  estab- 
lishing a  national  inspection  and  certification  system,  to  be  main- 
tained by  the  industry  itself,  for  the  protection  of  all  consumers 
as  well  as  to  avoid  unnecessary  confusions  in  the  trade  itself.  Such 
an  organization,  Mr.  Hoover  pointed  out,  would  soon  eliminate 
many  current  complaints  by  providing  practical  guarantees  as  to 
quality  and  quantity  to  the  consumer,  and  the  same  plan  would 
lend  itself  to  the  eventual  establishment  of  research  work  by  the 
industry  for  the  development  of  better  utilization  of  wood  products, 
of  large  economies,  and  better  adaptability  in  the  manufacture  of 
raw  material.  The  plans  embrace  no  element  of  control  of  distri- 
bution or  price,  but  essentially  service  on  behalf  of  the  consunii;r  in 
guarantees  of  quality  and  character  of  lumber  sold  and  thereby  the 
lifting  of  all  ethical  standards  in  the  industry.  The  unanimous 
action  of  this  preliminary  conference  and  the  organization  set  up 
to  advance  these  ideas  by  the  trade  itself  promise  success.  The 
summer  months  will  be  employed  in  the  necessary  technical  investi- 
gation in  discussions  in  the  various  branches  of  the  trade  and  it  is 
expected  that  a  final  conference  may  be  held  in  the  early  fall  for 
creation  of  the  definite  organization. 

Laying   before   the   delegates   to   the   lumber   conference   the 


program  embodying  the  three  major  problems.  Secretary 
Hoover  said  they  were  the  most  difficult  that  lumber  interests 
have  to  cope  with,  and  the  settling  of  all  of  them,  or  two,  or 
one,  will  more  than  pay  for  the  time  and  efforts  spent  in  the 
conference. 

"The  purpose  of  the  department,"  said  Secretary  Hoover, 
"is  to  assist  by  bringing  the  different  trades  together,  so  far  as 
we  are  able;  to  give  j'ou  such  expert  assistance  as  we  may  and 
by  giving  you  the  benefit  and  experience  of  other  trade  and 
industries  in  methods  of  solving  difficulties. 

"The  problems  in  the  lumber  industry,  which  you  are  here  to 
discuss,  are  of  the  most  fundamental  importance.  With  the 
lumber  industry,  as  with  practically  all  other  industries,  the 
main  trouble  is  the  cost  of  distribution.  Practically  all  of  your 
difficulties  in  the  lumber  industry  are  questions  of  distribution; 
the  guarantees  of  qualities,  the  simplification  of  dimensions,  the 
grading  of  lumber,  all  of  them,  are  steps  in  advance  toward 
reducing  the  cost  and  the  waste  of  distribution. 

"Whatever  is  arrived  at  must  be  arrived  at  by  your  initiative 
and  upon  your  agreement.  My  understanding  is  that  we  are 
going  to  discuss  three  phases  of  this  question.  The  first  is  the 
question  of  grading  lumber.  When  we  come  to  questions  of 
grading,  the  first  thing  that  one  runs  against  is  the  nomenclature 
— of  the  actual  names  that  are  in  use  for  differen  commodities, 
and  different  qualities  or  standards  of  that  commodity.  So  that 
a  primary  necessity  is  to  have  some  agreement  on  the  terms 
that  are  going  to  be  applied. 

"Now,  I  realize  that  this  is  a  trade  that  has  an  enormous 
variety  of  material,  so  that  a  designation  of  terms  must  start 
with  some  common  acceptance  of  the  designation  of  a  particu- 
lar type  of  wood;  it  is  either  pine  or  hemlock,  or  it  is  some- 
thing else.  And  the  primary  custom  of  the  trade  is  a  definition 
of  lumber  on  the  basis  of  species,  in  which  there  is  some  var- 
iance that  needs  to  be  corrected  by  agreement,  as  to  what 
species  the  lumber  really  is  by  way  of  trade  name.  We  are 
not  involved  here  in  discussing  trees  and  their  origin;  it  is 
purely  a  question  of  terms  in  the  trade — trade  terms. 

"Apd  then  we  come  to  the  quality  of  any  particular  species 
or  any  general  variety  that  we  have  determined  upon.  And 
there  is  a  wide  variation  there.  Some  lumbers  are  designed  by 
clears  and  other  qualities,  whilst  others  have  other  nomen- 
clatures, and  we  ought  to  have  the  same  terms,  if  that  is  pos- 
sible.   So  that  those  are  questions  of  terms,  of  nomenclatures. 

"Then  we  come  to  the  question  of  guarantees.  As  to  how, 
after  lumber  has  been  divided  on  any  such  basis  as  we  may 
determine  as  to  its  nomenclature,  how  the  public  is  to  have 
any  assurance  as  to  what  it  gets.  And  there  we  have  to  enter 
into  the  problems  of  inspection,  and  certification,  and  markings, 
or  other  devices  that  might  be  developed  to  give  assurances  to 
the  consumer.  And  I  do  believe  it  is  infinitely  in  the  interest 
of  the  industry  as  a  whole  that  we  should  set  up,  if  it  is  possible, 
some  sort  of  a  system  that  will  result  in  a  practical  guarantee. 
Those  guarantees  are  fundamentally  one  of  the  greatest  elim- 
inations of  wastes  that  could  be  made  in  the  industry;  in  the 
elimination  of  litigation  and  dispute,  and  in  the  better  education 
of  the  public  which  can  follow  as  to  the  best  grade  adapted  to 
certain  purposes,  etc.,  etc.  Indeed,  one  of  the  difficulties  in 
this  industry  has  been  three  or  four  per  cent,  or  perhaps  even 
less  than  that,  of  people  trading  directly  in  lumber  who  have 
definitely  shifted  the  grades  in  transactions,  and  that  has  con-

Work  Started  On  New  Apartment  in  Park  Avenue  Section 

Nine-Story  Multi-Family  Structure,  Designed  by  Sugarman,  Hess  &  A.  G.  Berger, 
Will  Provide  for  Thirty-two  Families  in  Four  and  Six  Room  Suites 

EXCAVATION  work  has  been  com- 
pleted for  a  new  fireproof  apartment 
house  to  occupy  a  plot  87  by  100 
feet  at  125  to  135  East  Sixty-third  street. 
This  project,  designed  by  Sugarman,  Hess 
&  A.  G.  Berger,  will  be  nine  stories  in 
height,  with  basement,  and  will  cost  approx- 
imately $500,000.  No  general  contract  has 
been  awarded  for  the  construction  of  this 
apartment.  The  owners.  The  125  East 
63d  Street  Corporation,  Louis  Cowan,  pres- 
ident and  A.  M.  Daly,  secretary,  have  en- 
tire charge  of  the  work  and  are  placing 
contracts  for  the  various  branches  as  con- 
struction proceeds. 

The  facades  of  this  new  multi-family 
building  have  been  designed  in  the  Renais- 
sance style  and  will  be  constructed  of  var- 
ied colored  brick  in  the  dark  red  tones, 
with  trimmings  of  Indiana  limestone  and 
terra  cotta.  The  structure  will  provide  liv- 
ing accommodations  for  thirty-two  families, 
in  suites  completely  equipped  with  the  most 
modern  labor-saving  devices  and  conven- 
iences. These  suites  will  contain  six  rooms, 
foyer  and  three  baths,  and  four  rooms, 
foyer  and  two  baths.  In  addition  there  will 
be  several  apartments  on  the  ground  floor 
especially  designed  for  physicians.  The  lat- 
ter will  have  separate  entrances  to  the 
street. 

The  apartments  designed  for  physicians 
will  be  wholly  segregated  from  the  remain- 
ing portion  of  the  ground  floor,  the  rear  of 
which  will  be  utilized  as  additional  quarters 
for  servants.  Eacli  apartment  will  contain 
a  log-burning  open  fireplace  in  the  living 
rooms,  which  are  of  unusual  dimensions. 
The  four-room  suites  are  unique  in  that 
they  contain  two  master  chambers  and 
baths  in  addition  to  a  fully  equipped  kitchen 
and  a  combination  living  and  dining  room. 

Rentals  in  this  apartment  will  range  from 
$2,600  to  $4,300  per  year  and  the  owners 
have  appointed  Douglas  L.  Elliman  &  Co., 
as  renting  and  managing  agents.  The  pres- 
ent construction  schedule  calls  for  the  com  pletion  of  this  operation 
by  November  1,  1922. 

Sixty-third  street,  between  Park  and  Lexington  avenues,  which 
geographically  is  the  center  of  the  East  Side  high  class  apartment 
district,  is  rapidly  being  transformed  into  one  of  the  choicest  streets

in  the  neighborhood.  This  unusual  central  location,  enjoying  tran- 
sit facilities  of  all  types,  elevated,  surface  and  subway,  has  been 
vastly  ifnproved  by  the  recent  completion  of  the  Park  Avenue 
Baptist  Church  and  the  Christian  Science  Church  now  under  con- 
struction at  the  corner  of  Park  avenue. 


Secretary  Hoover  Advises  Lumber  Industry  Reforms 


(Continued  from  page  601) 
sequently  led  to  a  great  deal  of  feeling  that  the  trade  lacks 
certain  basic  honesty  that  I  know  it  does  possess.  In  any  event, 
if  we  could  arrive  at  some  method  of  guarantees  as  to  grades 
and  qualities,  we  would  eliminate  the  crook  who  casts  a  gen- 
eral reflection  over  the  whole  trade;  because  if  you  find  one 
crooked  transaction  in  lumber,  it  will  reflect  over  100,000  hcnest 
transactions;  it  is  the  one  thing  that  stands  out. 

"Now,  the  third  branch  of  the  discussion  is  that  of  simplifica- 
tion;  simplification  of  dimensions  and  other  items  that  make 
for  economy  in  both  production  and  transportation  and  distri- 
bution. The  difficulties,  of  course,  are  very  large,  more 
especially  as  there  are  some  forty  thousand  saw  mills  in  the 
country,  and  hitherto,  in  our  examination  of  these  questions  and 


in  the  actual  processes  of  securing  simplified  practice,  we  have 
found  that  the  first  thing  fundamental  to  it  is  some  kind  of  a 
survey  to  know  how  many  varieties  of  dimensions,  and  sizes, 
and  so  on,  there  are  in  the  different  breeds  of  the  commodity; 
and  we  have  made  the  most  successful  approach  to  that  prob- 
lem hitherto,  not  by  setting  up  positive  sizes  so  much  as  the 
elimination  of  a  great  number  of  sizes  for  which  there  is  but 
comparatively  little  call,  or  of  comparatively  little  importance. 
"My  own  feeling  is  that  if  we  can  develop  these  things 
through  the  internal  machinery  of  the  trade  itself,  as  a  matter 
of  self-government  in  the  trade,  that  we  will  have  secured 
infinitely  better  results,  and  we  will  have  secured  something 
even  more  fundamental  than  that,  and  that  is  the  sense  of  self- 
preservation  in  the  American  people."

Commercial  and  Industrial  Building  Growing  in  Volume 

Weekly  Statistics  of  F.  W.  Dodge  Company  Indicate   Steady  Improvement   in 
Amount  of  Construction  Released  for  Immediate  Start 


CONSTRUCTION  interests  in  the  Metropolitan  District 
have  little  complaint  about  the  volume  of  business  now 
on  hand,  but  the  difficulties  of  securing  some  materials 
and  labor  are  impeding  progress  to  some  extent.  Reports  of 
new  operations  being  planned  or  released  under  contract  show 
a  large  amount  of  work  still  to  be  accomplished  before  the  end 
of  this  season  and  all  trades  anticipate  a  capacity  business  for 
the  remainder  of  the  year. 

Figures  tabulated  by  the  F.  W.  Dodge  Company,  for  the 
twenty-first  week  of  the  current  year  show  plans  reported  in 
New  York  State  and  New  Jersey,  north  of  Trenton,  for  663 
building  and  engineering  projects  which  will  require  a  total 
expenditure  of  $25,113,000.  During  the  same  week  contracts 
were  awarded  for  SOS  new  operations  which  will  involve  an 
outlay  of  about  $19,275,100. 

The  weekly  figures  for  Greater  New  York  show  extremely 
active  conditions  in  the  local  construction  field.  While  resi- 
dential construction  is  not  quite  as  heavy  as  it  was  a  few  weeks 
ago  this  type  of  operation  still  remains  as  the  dominating 
characteristic  of  the  industry.  There  has  been  a  very  definite 
increase,  however,  in  commercial  and  industrial  work  which  is 
welcomed  by  both  contractors  and  material  manufacturers  and 
dealers. 


According  to  the  figures  for  Greater  New  York  plans  were 
reported  during  the  week  of  May  20  to  26  inclusive  for  203 
new  construction  projects  at  an  estimated  total  valuation  of 
$8,542,800,  while  the  contracts  actually  awarded  numbered  132 
and  represented  a  total  cost  of  $10,508,000. 

Among  the  203  operations  for  which  plans  were  reported 
were  43  business  projects  such  as  stores,  offices,  lofts,  com- 
mercial garages,  etc.,  $1,979,500;  6  educational  projects,  $463,- 
400;  2  hospitals  and  institutions,  $40,000;  8  factory  and  indus- 
trial buildings,  $1,147,500;  1  public  building,  $5,000;  11  public 
works  and  public  utilities,  $874,900;  4  religious  and  memorial 
projects,  $105,000;  126  residential  operations,  including  apart- 
ments, flats  and  tenements  and  one  and  two-family  dwellings, 
$3,822,500,  and  2  social  and  recreational  buildings,  such  as 
theatres,  clubs,  etc.,  $105,000. 

The  group  of  132  operations  for  which  contracts  were 
awarded  during  the  week  included  23  business  projects  of 
various  types,  $2,788,000;  3  educational  buildings,  $1,225,000;  2 
hospitals,  $550,000;  1  industrial  project,  $865,000;  1  public  build- 
ing, $22,000;  4  public  works  and  public  utilities,  $65,000;  1 
church,  $50,000;  94  residential  operations,  including  multi- 
family  dwellings,  and  one  and  two-family  houses,  $4,643,000, 
and  3  social  and  recreational  buildings,  $300,000.

CURRENT    BUILDING    OPERATIONS 


CONSIDERABLE  improvement  in  the 
building:  material  supply  situation  has 
created  a  more  optimistic  attitude  among 
construction  interests  in  the  Metropolitan 
district  and  there  is  every  likelihood  that 
supplies  ot  basic  materials  will  now  con- 
tinue easily  available  throughout  the  re- 
mainder of  the  season.  Although  there  is 
still  some  shortage  in  common  brick  the 
acute  conditions  of  the  past  few  weeks 
have  been  relieved  by  the  arrival  of  sev- 
eral cargoes  of  new  brick  and  manufac- 
turers are  confident  that  the  supply  will 
keep  abreast  of  the  demand  for  the  re- 
mainder of  the  season. 

One  of  the  outstanding  characteristics 
of  the  current  local  building  situation  is 
the  very  decided  falling  off  in  residential 
construction.  This  applies  particularly  to 
Greater  New  York  where  records  of  the 
Building  Bureaus  and  Tenement  House 
Department  show  relatively  low  figures 
for  new  plans  filed  for  dwellings.  The 
unusually  high  totals  recorded  during 
March  were  largely  the  result  of  the  de- 
sire to  anticipate  unfavorable  action  by 
the  Legislature  on  tax  exemption.  The 
recession  in  residential  building  which 
has  now  become  quite  marked  is  having 
a  reassuring  effect  upon  other  types  of 
proposed  operations  as  it  is  making  labor 
and  materials  more  easily  available  for 
commercial  and  industrial  buildings  which 
are  growing  in  number. 

Local  bulding  material  markets  are  ex- 
ceedingly active  and  dealers  are  looking 
forward  to  a  continuation  of  the  strong 
demand  for  some  months  to  come.  Prices 
generally  are  firm  and  although  no  im- 
portant price  increases  have  been  an- 
nounced the  trend  of  material  prices  is 
upward. 

Common  Brick — The  demand  for  Hud- 
son River  common  brick  remains  as  keen 
as  it  has  been  for  some  weeks  past  but 
larger  supplies  are  available  so  that  the 
market  has  lost  some  of  the  intensity 
noticeable  only  a  week  or  so  ago.  Manu- 
facturers are  shipping  new  brick  as 
rapidly  as  they  are  able  to  remove  it  from 
the  kilns  and  as  a  result  dealers  are  now 
in  a  position  to  supply  practically  all  ot 
their  jobs  without  much  delay.  Within 
the  next  week  or  so  it  is  likely  that  suffi- 
cient brick  will  arrive  at  this  city  to  per- 
mit the  storage  of  some  reserve  stocks  in 
dealers'  yards.  Although  manufacturers 
are  pushing  production  to  the  utmost  they 
are  not  of  the  opinion  that  the  output  this 
year  will  be  much  greater  than  the 
average  for  the  past  few  years,  as  they 
are  still  confronted  with  a  scarcity  of 
fuel  and  inadequate  labor  which  is  show- 


ing considerable  unrest  and  likely  to  de- 
mand higher  wages  at  almost  any  time. 

Summary — Transactions  in  the  North 
River  brick  market  for  the  week  ending 
Thursday.  June  1,  1922.  Condition  of 
market:  Demand  heavy;  prices,  firm  and 
unchanged.  Quotations:  Hudson  Rivers, 
$20  a  thousand  to  dealers  in  cargo  lots 
alongside  dock.  Number  of  cargoes  ar- 
rived, 32:  sales,  32.  Distribution:  Man- 
hattan, 10;  the  Bronx,  3;  Brooklyn,  16; 
New  Jersey  points,  2;  Astoria,   1. 

Liomber — Business  is  excellent  in  both 
wholesale      and      retail      departments      of 


trade  and  orders  continue  heavily  In  ex- 
cess of  production  in  practically  all  of 
the  softwood  lines.  The  strength  of  the 
demand  and  the  shortening  supplies  have 
to  a  marked  degree  reacted  upon  prices, 
and  during  the  past  week  the  trend  has 
been  sharply  upward.  Retailers  report 
a  steady  gain  of  business  from  building 
sources  and  manufacturing  consumers  are 
now  a  more  important  factor  than  they 
have  been  for  a  long  time  past.  Although 
there  is  as  yet  little  delay  in  filling  or- 
ders the  local  stocks  are  not  always  com- 
plete   and    dealers    anticipate    a    growing

is  keen  and  a  large  number  of  new  opera- 
tions are  being  planned  which  will  add 
materially  to  the  prospective  business  in 
this  line.  Deliveries  are  becoming  slower 
and  from  ten  to  twelve  weeks  is  now  the 
best  the  majority  of  mills  will  promise. 

Reinforcing  Bars — Business  is  some- 
what lighter  than  it  has  been  during  the 
past  few  weeks  but  manufacturers  anti- 
cipate increased  activity  in  this  market 
within  a  short  time  as  a  considerable 
amount  of  new  commercial  and  industrial 
construction  is  likely  to  be  released 
within  the  next  fortnight.  Prices  are 
strong  and  subject  to  slight  advances  ac- 
cording to  current  predictions. 

Electrical  Supplies — This  line  is  partic- 
ularly active  at  present  and  all  signs 
point  to  a  further  increase  in  demand  for 
wiring  materials  and  sundries  required 
in  connection  with  electrical  installations. 
The  vast  amount  of  housing  construction 
in  the  Metropolitan  district  is  reflecting 
itself  strongly  in  the  increasing  demand 
for  electrical  materials  and  a  recent  gain 
in  the  volume  of  new  Industrial  work  is 
shown  by  more  frequent  inquiries  for 
generators,  motors  and  incidental  power 
equipment.  Prices  in  the  electrical  trade 
are  very  steady  and  there  is  little  indl- 
.cation  of  higher  levels  for  some  time  to 
come.  Local  stocks  are  said  to  be  ade- 
quate for  all  requirements  and  dealers 
are  generally  optimistic. 

Cast  Iron  Pipe — The  market  for  cast 
iron  pipe  continues  to  be  extremely  ac- 
tive. Demand  is  increasing  steadily  and 
recent  inquiries  denote  a  large  volume  of 
business  to  be  released  during  the  next 
three  or  four  weeks.  Despite  the  recent 
advance,  cast  iron  pipe  prices  are  remark- 
ably firm  and  there  is  little  likelihood 
of  a  drop  for  some  time  to  come.  New 
York  quotations  are  as  follows:  6  in.  and 
larger,  $48.80  per  net  ton;  4  in.  and  5  in., 
$53.80,  and  3  in.,  $63.80,  with  Class  A  and 
gas  pipe  $4   extra  per  ton. 

Nails — Increasing  demand  has  charac- 
terized this  market  during  the  past  few 
weeks,  and  as  a  consequence  there  is  a 
slight  upward  trend  to  prices.  The  effect 
of  the  coal  strike  on  the  steel  situation 
is  already  being  reflected  in  the  markets 
for  iron  and  steel  products,  and  as  the 
demand  is  steadily  growing  the  higher 
prices  are  but  a  natural  result.  Jobbers' 
stocks  are  adequate,  but  there  is  a  likeli- 
lihood  that  future  supplies  from  the  mills 
may  be  increasingly  difficult.  New  York 
quotations  are  as  follows:  Wire  nails, 
$3.35,  base,  per  keg,  and  cut  nails,  $3.90, 
base,  per  keg.

Pioneer  Uptown  Office  Building 
Abandons  Private  Plant 

When  furnished  statistics  proving  that  a  saving  of 
l7,ooo  yearly  could  be  effected  and  that  the  space 
released  by  the  removal  of  its  private  plant  equip- 
ment could  be  offered  to  a  tenant,  the  owners  of 
the  Johnson  Building,  1166-1172  Broadway,  one

for  Edison  Service.  The  part  of  the  building  for- 
merly housing  the  private  plant  is  now  occupied  by 
a  bank  under  a  very  advantageous  rental  schedule 

The  estimate  of  operating  costs  that  led  to  the 
close-down  of  the  Johnson  private  plant,  and  the 
conversion  of  the  hydraulic  elevators  to  electric 
operation  was  prepared  by  our  Engineers.  If  you 
have  not  already  consulted  with  them,  telephone 
and  we  shall  be  glad  to  study  your  problem. 
Perhaps  you  too  can  effect  a  similar  saving.  You 
will  not  be  obligated  in  any  way

RECORD    AND     GUIDE

National  Building  Boom  Is  On 

Authentic  statistics  for  May,  1922,  showing  newly  con- 
templated building  and  engineering  operations  as  well  as 
projects  for  which  contracts  have  been  actually  awarded, 
indicate  the  establishment  of  a  new  high  record  for  national 
structural  activity  during  the  month  recently  ended.  These 
statistics,  tabulated  by  the  F.  W.  Dodge  Company,  graph- 
ically picture  the  present  strength  of  the  building  situation 
in  the  twenty-seven  Northeastern  States  and  are  evidence 
of  the  arrival  of  the  long-predicted  boom  in  the  construction 
industry. 

The  May  figures  show  that  in  this  territory,  which  in- 
cludes approximately  75  per  cent,  of  the  building  activity 
in  the  United  States,  architects  and  engineers  reported  work 
on  plans  and  specifications  for  new  projects  to  the  total 
value  of  $519,414,000.  During  the  same  period  the  actual 
contract  commitments  involved  an  estimated  total  of  $362,- 
590,000.  In  the  final  analysis  contracts  actually  awarded 
become  the  real  gauge  of  future  progress  in  the  building  in- 
dustry and,  as  the  May  commitments  for  the  entire  territory 
covered  by  the  Dodge  Reports  show  a  gain  of  3  per  cent, 
as  compared  with  the  total  for  the  preceding  month,  the 
strength  of  the  situation  is  apparent.  When  the  May  total 
for  the  territory  is  compared  with  that  for  the  corresponding 
month  of  last  year  the  current  figure  shows  an  increase  of 
about  50  per  cent,  and  as  a  consequence  the  national  outlook 
for  the  construction  industry  is  extremely  optimistic. 

A  national  building  revival  of  large  proportions  has  been 
anticipated  since  the  close  of  the  World  War,  but  various 
combinations  of  conditions  have  delayed  the  industry's 
progress  until  this  year.  The  building  boom  of  1922  has 
come,  however,  at  a  time  when  the  United  States  is  eco- 
nomically in  better  position  to  support  a  revival  such  as 
that  now  gaining  momentum  than  would  have  been  the  case 
had  the  movement  started  sooner.  The  delays  were  really 
fortunate,  as  now  the  way  is  clear  for  rapid  progress  and 
development. 

The  building  revival  could  not  have  come  sooner  because 
of  inflated  material  cost  levels,  various  serious  labor  diffi- 
culties, a  shortage  of  ready  funds  for  building  operations 
and  other  factors,  all  of  which  militated  against  the  in- 
dustry's progress.  In  addition,  the  economic  situation  of 
the  country  was  lacking  in  stability  to  a  degree  which  also 
re-acted  against  the  exertion  of  the  maximum  effort  on  the 
part  of  the  construction  interests  to  regain  their  former 
prominent  position  as  one  of  the  nation's  leading  industries. 
Today  the  majority  of  these  adverse  factors  either  have  been 
entirely  eliminated  or  the  improvement  has  been  so  great 
that  they  are  no  longer  considered  as  retardants. 

From  a  national  viewpoint  the  construction  industry  is 
now  fairly  stabilized  and  the  outlook  is  for  continued  prog- 
ress toward  a  maximum  of  activity  which  will  assure  its 
former  high  place  in  national  industry.  The  material  mar- 
kets show  great  improvement  and  supplies  are  available  for 
all  requirements.  Money  is  easier  and  interest  rates  are 
gradually  coming  down.  Labor  is  plentiful  and  far  more 
efficient  than  it  was  during  the  early  post-war  years  and 


building  wages  are  lower  throughout  the  country,  with  the 
exception  of  isolated  sections,  such  as  New  York  City, 
where  the  demand  has  been  excessive  and  consequently 
1  esponsible  for  holding  wages  at  the  inflated  war-time  levels. 


Restoring  Vital  Basic  Conditions 

On  July  1  next  will  become  effective  the  reductions  in 
wages,  freight  rates  and  interest  allowances  on  capital  or- 
dered by  the  Railroad  Labor  Board  and  the  Interstate  Com- 
merce Commission,  and  this  marks  the  second  great 
accomplishment  of  the  nation  as  a  whole  in  bringing  about 
widespread  conditions  which  inevitably  will  reduce  the  high 
cost  of  living  and  stimulate  the  revival  of  business.  The 
first  was  the  fall  in  quotations  of  farm  products  because  the 
country  refused  to  turn  over  government  funds  to  the  far- 
mers for  the  purpose  of  artificially  maintaining  war  prices, 
the  result  being  that  cereals  and  cotton  reacted  naturally 
to  the  unrestricted  working  of-  the  law  of  supply  and  de- 
mand. When  the  coal  strike  is  settled  on  a  basis  consistent 
with  the  needs  of  this  period  of  re-adjustment,  and  the 
tariff  laws  are  remodeled  to  encourage  rather  than  to  ham- 
per business,  which  problem  Congress  has  in  hand,  a  long 
stride  will  have  been  taken  towards  prosperity. 

Reduced  cost  of  living  could  only  become  an  accomplished 
fact  when,  and  if,  the  expense  of  production  of  the  items 
entering  into  the  cost  of  living  were  put  on  a  lower  level. 
The  first  move  in  this  direction  had  to  be  made  in  com- 
modities of  general  use  throughout  the  country  and  the  most 
important  of  these,  because  entering  into  the  budgets  of 
every  family  in  every  state,  are  farm  products,  coal  and  the 
freight  rates  on  these  as  well  as  on  practically  every  other 
thing  eaten  or  worn  by  the  hundred  and  ten  millions  of  our 
jaeople.  By  cutting  the  cost  of  these  articles,  the  cost  of  liv- 
ing must  inevitably  be  lowered.  The  farmers  of  the  coun- 
try, who  have  been  forced  by  general  business  conditions  to 
sell  two  bushels  of  wheat  for  what  they  received  for  one  two 
years  ago  will  not  be  likely  to  sympathize  with  the  railroad 
who  are  asked  to  accept  a  cut  of  only  10  or  15  per  cent,  in 
wages,  which  will  still  leave  their  earning  power  40  to  50 
per  cent,  above  those  of  December,  1917.  Nor  will  the 
farmers  who  must  part  with  their  corn-fed  hogs  at  one- 
half  their  Armistice  Day  price,  nor  the  cotton  growers  who 
are  marketing  this  staple  at  a  similar  reduction  in  price, 
see  the  equity  in  the  retention  by  coal  miners  and  railroad 
laborers  of  the  wages  prevailing  in  war  times. 

What  the  country  has  been  demanding  for  the  last  two 
years  is  a  re-arrangement  of  the  basic  items  entering  into 
production  costs,  so  as  to  assure  a  scaling  down  in  the  prices 
of  everything  of  use  to  mankind  generally.  Freight  rates 
on  farm  products  were  reduced  16  1/2  per  cent,  on  January 
1  last.  Freight  rates  on  all  other  merchandise  will  be  cut 
10  per  cent.  July  1  next.  Investors  in  railroad  securities  are 
to  receive  5  3/4  per  cent,  return  on  the  valuation  of  the 
properties  instead  of  6  per  cent. 

The  cumulative  effect  of  these  and  other  similar  re-ad- 
justments requisite  to  a  resumption  of  business  on  a  scale

Mr.  Davies  Explains  Why  the 

WHY  has  the  William  Waldorf  Astor  Estate  decided  to 
dispose  of  another  one  of  its  holdings  of  real  estate  in  this 
city  is  a  question  frequently  asked,  in  view  of  the  announce- 
ment that  1669  lots  in  the  Bronx  are  to  be  sold  at  auction  on  June 
14-17,  inclusive,  by  Joseph  P.  Day  and  J.  Clarence  Davies.  These 
lots  are  on  172d,  174th,  175th,  177th  streets.  East  Tremont  and 
Westchester  avenues  and  several  adjacent  streets.  The  sale  is  to 
be  held  in  the  Hotel  Astor.  The  property  has  been  owned  by  the 
Astor  family  for  many  years.  Mr.  Davies  believes  this  inquiry  as 
to  the  reasons  why  this  holding  shall  be  sold  is  logical  and  per- 
tinent. He  declares  there  is  a  logical  answer,  although  the  Astors 
have  heretofore  refused  many  offers  for  the  land  made  by  investors, 
speculators,  and  home-seekers. 

"The  reason  for  the  sale,"  said  Mr.  Davies,  "is  the  combination  of 
high  taxes  in  England  and  the  difference  in  the  rate  of  exchange. 
The    extraordinarily    heavy    war    taxes    in    England    have    forced 


small  wage  reductions  now  applicable  to  two  classes  of  rail- 
road workers,  if  it  ends  in  the  tying  up  of  the  transportation 
systems  of  the  country,  will  put  a  brake  on  industry  which 
will  retard  the  return  to  more  normal  conditions  so  greatly 
desired  and  so  necessary  to  everyone  in  the  country. 

Astor  Estate  Sells  Its  Holdmgs 

many  British  land  owners  to  dispose  of  their  estates  to  meet  the 
national  levy. 

"Naturally,  Englishmen  who  own  land  in  America  and  who  must 
pay  heavy  British  taxes  want,  as  business  men,  to  sell  their  holdings 
in  the  United  States.  By  realizing  in  American  currency,  which  is 
worth  a  great  deal  more  in  England,  they  can  meet  their  pressing 
obligations  to  the  best  advantage.  Therefore,  the  difference  in  the 
rate  of  exchange,  plus  the  heavy  war  taxes,  much  greater  than  those 
in  this  country,  have  forced  the  Astors  into  the  market. 

"With  nine  arteries  of  transit  touching  the  property,  it  is  looked 
upon  as  the  very  cream  of  the  big  vacant  Bronx  tracts.  The  con- 
ditions under  which  the  tract  is  to  be  sold  are  sure  to  bring  about 
attractive  prices  for  the  buyers. 

"The  properties  are  not  protected  in  any  way.  We  are  to  sell 
without  reserve  and  get  what  we  can  for  the  lots." 

The  trustees  of  the  William  Astor  Estate,  the  Farmers  Loan  and 
Trust  Company,  have  ordered  the  sale. 


Chairman  McAneny  Promises  Removal  of  42nd  Street  Spur 


CONCLUDING  a  drive  for  a  largely  increased  membership 
that  has  been  under  way  for  two  weeks,  the  Forty- 
second  Street  Property  Owners  and  Merchants'  Associa- 
tion on  Tuesday  held  a  luncheon  at  the  Biltmore  that  was  largely 
attended.  Inasmuch  as  it  is  interested  in  all  transit  improve- 
ments that  will  benefit  Forty-second  street  and  its  neighbor- 
liood  the  Association  invited  as  its  principal  speaker  at  the  lunch- 
eon George  McAneny,  Chairman  of  the  Transit  Commission. 
A.  E.  Thorne  presided. 

The  Association  has  been  opposed  to  the  proposed'  moving 
platform  across  Forty-second  street.  Mr.  McAneny  championed 
it  and  showed  the  advantages  it  would  give  to  the  thorough- 
fare. He  also  promised  speedier  action  toward  the  removal 
of  the  old  elevated  railroad  spur  on  East  Forty-second  street. 

Continuing,  Mr.  McAneny  said:  "It  seems  to  us  that  there 
is  an  advantage  in  carrying  the  people  just  as  they  come  instead 
of  carrying  them  by  the  trainload  to  be  dumped  out  at  one 
time.  The  Commission  sees  avoidance  of  congestion  by  the 
creation  of  a  method  to  carry  more  people  than  are  carried 
today.  Transfers  to  the  moving  platform  should  be  free  in 
the  sense  that  there  should  be  transfers  to  every  transportation 
line  touching  Forty-second  street. 

"If  the  moving  platform  is  rebuilt,  the  shuttle  service  would 
be  retained,  certainly  until  the  platform  demonstrated  its  use- 
fulness. This  would  offer  a  choice  to  persons  traveling  across 
Forty-second  street.    Those  in  a  hurry  or  those  whose  athletic 


ability  was  up  to  the  mark  would  undoubtedly  prefer  the  plat- 
form. 

"There  would  be  three  platforms,  moving  at  the  respective 
rates  of  three,  six  and  nine  miles  an  hour,  with  seats  on  the 
nine-mile  an  hour  platform.  If  the  shuttle  is  continued  there 
should  be  no  objection  on  the  ground  that  some  persons  might 
find  it  difficult  to  use  the  platform. 

"The  prime  objection  to  the  platform  is  that  it  would  inter- 
fere with  vault  privileges.  It  is  true  the  vaults  would  have  to 
go,  but  there  would  be  created  what  would  amount  to  a  new 
street  with  show  windows  and  a  footpath  to  each  window. 

"It  would  be  a  new  underground  street  with  swift  carriage  on 
each  side,  which  would  permit  the  removal  of  the  surface  cars. 
If  there  is  objection  to  that  on  the  ground  that  some  of  the 
cars  run  north,  that  can  be  met  by  transfers  to  the  surface 
cars. 

"Objection  to  the  difficulty  of  removing  the  surface  cars 
and  in  providing  transfers  is  met  by  the  unified  system  plan  of 
the  Commission,  which  we  think  is  getting  along  very  well  and 
which  would  permit  the  scrapping  some  parts  of  existing  lines. 
I  need  not  tell  you  what  the  effect  would  be  on  Forty-second 
street  if  it  were  as  free  from  surface  cars  as  Fifth  avenue. 

"We  shall  certainly  move  for  the  removal  of  that  spur.  It 
is  ugly,  unsightly  and  long  past  its  usefulness,  and  there  is  no 
reason  on  earth  for  permitting  it  to  remain.  It  stands  as  a  dem- 
onstration of  a  waste." 


New  Bids  on  Court  House  $1,817,161  Less  Than  Two  Years  Ago 


BIDS  for  work  on  the  new  Court  House  were  opened  last 
week  by  the  Board  of  Estimate  and  they  will  be  con- 
sidered by  the  Committee  of  the  Whole  of  the  Board. 
The  lowest  bids  for  all  the  work  of  a  granite  superstructure 
were  those  of  J.  T.  Brady  &  Co.,  the  Harrison  Granite  Com- 
pany, Inc.;  the  Fordham  Cornice  Works,  Inc.,  and  Milton, 
Schnaier  &  Co.,  Inc.,  totaling  $4,029,629.  The  lowest  bid  on  the 
same  work  two  years  ago  was  $5,846,790,  a  reduction  of 
$1,817,161. 

The  superstructure  of  granite  upon  a  granite  base  will  cost 
$459,243  more  than  a  limestone  superstructure  on  a  granite 
base.  George  A.  Fuller  &  Co.  bid  $4,224,000  for  a  granite  con- 
struction, and  for  a  limestone  superstructure  with  a  granite 
foundation,  $3,570,386.  For  en  all-granite  construction  Thomas 
Dwyer  &  Son  bid  $4,280,000.  The  best  combination  bid  was 
that  of  J.  T.  Brady  &  Co.,  which  was  as  follows:  Structural 
steel     frame,    $898,840;,    concrete     flooring,     fireproofing,     &c. 


$484,480;  brick  work,  terra  cotta,  &c.,  $694,840. 

The  bid  of  Henry  Hanlein  &  Son  combined  with  the  lowest 
bid  of  $298,542  for  a  granite  base  made  his  total  $1,725,918  as 
against  the  bid  two  years  ago  of  $2,372,000  for  the  same  work, 
or  a  reduction  of  $646,000.  This  firm's  bid  of  $1,427,376  for  a 
limestone  superstructure  was  not  the  lowest,  but  that  of  Ed- 
win Shuttleworth  and  James  Gillies,  whose  bid  was  $1,163,000. 

The  Fordham  Cornice  Works,  Inc.,  was  the  lowest  bidder  on 
the  construction  of  the  roof.  Two  years  ago  the  lowest  bidder 
was  the  Herman  &  Grace  Company  at  $218,300.  The  lowest  bid 
for  the  rough  plumbing  work  was  that  of  the  Milton  Schnaier 
Construction  Company  of  $82,786.  The  lowest  bid  two  years 
ago  for  the  same  work  was  $142,522. 

The  Bethlehem  Steel  Bridge  Corporation,  which  two  years 
ago  was  the  lowest  bidder,  at  $1,280,000,  for  the  steel  construc- 
tion, submitted  a  letter  to  the  board  in  which  is  offered  to  re- 
duce its  bill  to  $850,000.

REAL    ESTATE    SECTION 


Tax  Burdens  and  Relief  Discussed  at  Mayors'  Conference 

Governor  Miller  and  Senator  Davenport  Prominent  Speakers,  the  Latter  Suggesting 
the  Slogan — "Equalize,  Simplify  and  Reduce  Taxes" 

[Special  to  The  Record  and  Guide] 


Poughkeepsie,  June  7. 

REAL  ESTATE  is  practically  the  sole  shock  absorber 
against  the  blows  of  tax  impact,  declared  Senator  Freder- 
ick M.  Davenport,  Chairman  of  the  Joint  Legislative  In- 
vestigating Committee  on  Taxation,  before  the  State  Con- 
ference of  Mayors  here  today. 

"Just  now,"  he  added,  "real  estate  is  in  an  especially  exposed 
position.  The  high  taxes  on  real  estate  bear  too  heavily  on 
the  income  of  the  home  owner  as  well  as  on  the  small  business 
man  and  the  rent  payer.  The  real  estate  tax  is  a  local  tax 
mainly,  and  has  increased  greatly  within  the  last  decade  as  the 
result,  partly  of  necessary  improvements  and  betterments  for 
the  mass  of  people,  partly  as  the  result  of  higher  prices  of  labor 
and  commodities  and  partly  through  the  mounting  costs  of 
local  government  as  the  result  of  wasteful  systems  and  admin- 
istration. 

"It  is  vital  to  the  welfare  of  the  people  of  the  State  that  this 

depressing  tax  burden  upon  real  estate  which  is  concealed  in 

■  the  rent  payment  and  passed  on  to  the  tenant  or  which  rests 

directly  upon  the  small  home  owners  and  business  man  should 

be  lessened." 

Senator  Davenport  suggested  that  the  slogan  for  the  future 
in  government  within  the  State  of  New  York  should  be: 
"Equalize,  simplify  and  reduce  taxes.'  ' 

Discussing  taxation  in  its  various  phases,  federal,  state  and 
local.  Senator  Davenport  said: 

"The  heavy  and  unequal  burden  of  taxation  is  becoming  an 
issue  of  first  importance  in  the  state  and  in  the  country,  and 
the  only  way-to  meet  it  is  by  intelligently  confronting  the  issue 
in  terms  of  things  as  they  are,  in  fact  and  figure.    The  big  burden 
is    the    federal   burden    and   the    burden    of   local    government. 
State    taxes    amount   to   only    about   one-tenth    of    the   whole. 
But  the  whole  is  heavy.    The  per  capita  weight  of  taxes.  Fed- 
eral, state  and  local,  now  is  a  little  over  one  hundred  dollars 
for  every  man,  woman  and  child  in  the  commonwealth  of  New 
York.    About  fifty  per  cent,  of  this  is  Federal  tax;  about  forty 
per  cent,  is  the  local  tax  of  villages,  towns,  counties  and  cities  ; 
and  about  ten  per  cent,  is  tax  for  purely  state  purposes.    Count- 
ing five  persons  to  the   family,  a   tax  burden  that  amounts  in 
one  form  or  another  to  five  hundred  dollars  a  family,  is  not  a 
tax  to  be  lightly  regarded.     If  it  is  not  already  deadening  in 
its  effect  upon  economic  welfare,  it  might  very  soon  become  so. 
"The  tax  system  of  the  State  of  New  York  just  grew,  like 
Topsy,  and  it  is  not  half  as  well  proportioned  or  good  looking 
as  Topsy  turned  out  to  be.    Taken  generally,  it  is  a  haphazard, 
hit-and-miss   affair.     Of   recent  years  a  real  attempt  has  been 
made  to  broaden  the  shoulders  for  the  burden  and  levy  a  tax 
according  to  ability  to  pay,  upon   the   income   of   corporations 
as  well  as  upon  the  income  of  individuals.    Such  classes  of  prop- 
erty as  inheritances  and  motor  vehicles,  such  transactions   as 
stock  transfers  on  Wall  Street,  have  been  brought  under  the 
tax   yoke    of    government.     But    still    great   inequalities    exist, 
much   injustice,  much   evasion   of  a  fair  share   of  the  burden, 
much  costly  and  wasteful  administration. 

"The  taxes  on  different  forms  of  business  in  the  state  are  not 
highly  burdensome,  but  they  are  unequal.  Under  the  present 
chaotic  hodge-podge  of  tax  imports,  some  kinds  of  corporate 
business  pay  proportionately  far  more  than  others.    We  should 


not  allow  any  reasonable  or  unreasonable  prejudice  against  any 
particular  class  of  corporations  to  prevent  us  from  dealing  fairly 
with  different  forms  of  business  as  well  as  with  different  classes 
of  individuals.  For  example,  the  unassailable  figures  of  the 
engineering  staff  of  the  legislative  committee  upon  taxation  and 
retrenchment  of  which  I  am  chairman,  reveal  disgraceful  dis- 
crimination and  scandalous  inequality  on  the  part  of  the  state 
in  dealing  with  the  taxation  of  public  utility  corporations.  It 
is  true  that  this  is  mainly  the  result  of  unintelligent  hodge- 
podge treatment  rather  than  design.  But  it  is  a  condition  which 
ought  to  be  rectified.  The  sins  of  public  utility  corporations, 
present  or  past,  are  no  excuse  for  the  state's  unintelligent  or 
unwitting  injustice.  Some  kinds  of  business,  both  incorporated 
and  unincorporated,  ought  to  pay  more,  some  less.  Certain 
vast  unincorporated  business  entities  which  prosper  under  the 
support  and  protection  of  the  environment  of  a  free  and  stable 
government,  and  which  hitherto  escaped  taxation,  should  pay 
their  fair  share  of  the  burden  which  the  state  finds  it  necessary 
to  impose  upon  business. 

"The  local  communities,  the  cities,  the  counties,  the  towns 
and  the  villages,  should  lose  nothing  of  their  present  revenues 
as  the  result  of  importan,  changes  which  it  is  only  just  to  make 
in  the  state  system  of  taxation.  The  distribution  by  the  state 
of  a  reasonable  proportion  of  its  revenues  back  to  the  localities 
should  continue,  but  careful  economies  should  be  worked  out 
in  the  administration  of  local  government  in  order  that  these 
apportioned  state  revenues  may  be  used  to  the  greatest  advan- 
tage for  the  welfare  of  the  people." 

Governor  Miller  also  discussed  the  question  of  taxation  at 
tonight's  session  of  the  conference.  His  reference  to  this  mat- 
ter followed  closely  upon  his  remarks  about  the  complexity 
of  the  municipal  problem  and  the  slow  progress  made  in  solving 
it. 

Governor  Miller  said  the  problem  was  further  complicated 
by  the  growth  of  human  needs— social  and  economic— entirely 
out  of  proportion  to  the  means  of  satisfying  them.  This,  he 
said,  led  to  necessary  increases  in  the  expenditure  of  local  gov- 
ernment and  consequently  in  the  tax  burden.  Real  estate  most 
bear  the  brunt  of  the  burden.  The  state  tax  on  real  estate, 
however,  was  negligible. 

"The  state,"  the  Governor  remarked,  "is  only  receiving  $19,- 
000,000,  while  last  year  the  state  put  into  the  treasuries  of 
localities  to  meet  local  governmental  needs  some  $81,000,000,  in 
addition  to  relieving  the  localities  from  many  functions  which 
formerly   they   had  performed  aJ^^J^siderable   expense. 

"It  is  my  belief  that  the  state  sm)uld  divide  still  further  with 
localities  the  taxes  that  the  state  alone  can  receive,  and,  in 
addition,  it  must  relieve  localities  of  many  more  functions. 
Some  years  ago  the  state  assumed  the  care  of  the  insane.  In 
the  near  future  the  state  must  in  similar  fashion  assume  the 
care  of  the  feeble  minded." 

Governor  Mjller  said  that  city  charters  really  had  not  been 
charters  of  local  government  in  this  state,  but  a  chaotic  mass 
of  legislation  which  had  made  it  necessary  for  municipalities 
to  go  to  Albany  frequently  for  repeals  or  new  legislative  grants 
of  power.  He  said  he  would  express  no  opinion  as  to  whether

Clinton  W.  Sweet  Estate  at  Auction  Today 


OCCUPIED  as  private  residence  and  grounds  for  thirty 
years  by  the  late  Clinton  W.  Sweet,  founder  of  The 
Record  and  Guide,  the  tract  comprising  275  city  lots  and 
the  residence  in  the  Dunwoodie  section  of  Yonkers  will  be  sold 
by  the  executors  of  the  Sweet  Estate  at  auction  today  on  the 
premises,  rain  or  shine.  A  large  tent  will  cover  those  who 
attend.  Situated  in  a  picturesque  part  of  Westchester  county, 
this  estate  has  long  been  considered  a  scenic  beauty  spot.  From 
it  there  are  sweeping  views  of  the  Palisades  and  adjacent  coun- 
try, while  golf  and  country  clubs  are  within  walking  distance. 

As  a  country  estate  the  property  comprised  more  than  40 
acres.  The  gradual  improvements  of  the  last  five  years  along 
suburban  residential  lines  close  to  the  property  has  brought 
it  practically  into  the  residential  part  of  Yonkers,  with  the 
result  that  it  is  more  valuable  for  that  purpose  than  for  landed 
estate  uses.  Mr.  Sweet  loved  the  place  and  died  there.  When 
he  established  his  country  home  in  Dunwoodie  there  were  ether 
estates  there  beside  his  own.  So  swift  has  been  suburban 
growth  roundabout  since  his  death,  in  1917,  that  it  strongly  illus- 
trates the  pulling  power  of  New  York's  suburban  areas. 

The  tract  is  laid  out  in  villa  plots  and  there  are  23  one- 
quarter  and  one-half  acre  plots  and  one  7-acre  plot.  Streets 
have  been  laid  out  and  there  are  numerous  homes  adjacent 
that  cost  from  $5,000  to  $15,000  each.  A  few  have  been  built  on 
a  part  of  the  tract.  The  sale  is  absolute,  so  that  one  can  buy 
at  the  highest  bid. 


Transit  facilities  serve  the  property.  Passing  it  is  the  trolley 
road  between  Yonkers  and  Mount  Vernon.  The  Jerome-avenue 
trolley  line  is  only  two  blocks  distant  and  it  connects  with  the 
subway  at  Woodlawn  station.  The  Dunwoodie  station  of  the 
Putnam  Division  of  the  New  York  Central  is  two  blocks  from 
the  tract.  Fee  values  throughout  the  region  are  steadily  in- 
creasing as  a  result  of  steady  demand. 

Yonkers  is  a  well  managed  city.  It  has  one  of  the  best  school 
systems  in  the  state,  it  owns  its  water  system  and  has  well  paid 
and  efficient  police  and  fire  departments.  The  city  has  all  kinds 
of  trolley,  railroad  and  boat  connections.  It  is  a  port  of  entry 
of  New  York  harbor  and  a  terminus  of  the  new  barge  canal 
system.  The  reports  of  the  State  Health  Department  show  it 
to  be  the  healthiest  city  in  the  state.  There  are  six  banks,  six 
hospitals.  76  churches  and  six  libraries.  All  that  goes  to  the 
making  of  a  fine  home  community  is  at  hand  for  use  by  pur- 
chasers of  lots  at  this  sale. 

The  purchase  terms  are  ten  per  cent,  of  the  purchase  money 
and  the  auctioneer's  fee  at  the  time  and  place  of  sale.  Sixty 
per  cent,  of  the  purchase  price  may  remain  on  bond  and  mort- 
gage for  from  one  to  three  years  at  5  1/2  per  cent,  per  annum. 
Seventy  per  cent,  of  the  purchase  money  may  remain  on  bond 
and  mortgage  for  a  similar  period  at  6  per  cent,  per  annum. 
The  balance  of  the  purchase  money  to  be  paid  in  30  days  on 
delivery  of  the  deed.  Five  per  cent,  discount  for  all  cash  in 
30  days.

islature  and  ratified  at  the  polls,  really  would  secure  to  muni- 
cipalities a  desirable  and  assured  measure  of  home  rule. 

"But,  regardless  of  constitutional  provisos,"  he  added,  "there 
is  one  way  of  securing  home  rule  for  cities.  First,  whether 
there  be  a  constitutional  amendment  or  not,  the  Legislature 
must  give  cities  a  grant  of  power.  Second,  having  given  this, 
the  Legislature  must  keep  its  hands  oflf  and  local  authorities 
must  exercise  in  a  reasonable  way  their  new  powers.  That's 
the  only  way  I  know  of  that  will  secure  home  rule — practicing 


it  as  well  as  preaching  it." 

Governor  Miller  defined  the  powers  the  state  must  continue 
to  exercise,  regardless  of  extended  home  rule  powers  for  the 
municipalities. 

"One  of  these  powers,"'  said  the  Governor,  "is  the  regulation 
of  public  utilities.  This  is  a  state  concern.  It  must  be  a  state 
concern  because  it  involves  the  exercise  of  the  police  power  of 
the  state  which  the  Legislature  hasn't  the  power  to  surrender 
if  it  would.  It  may  delegate  power  to  some  agency  of  the  state, 
whether  of  the  municipality  or  not."

Work  in  Progress  on  World's  Tallest  Hotel  for  Bachelors 

S.  W.  Straus  &  Co.  Underwrote  $4,000,000  Bond  Issue  for  Thirty-Story  Hotel 
Shelton  on  Lexington  Avenue,  Forty-Eighth  to  Forty-Ninth  Streets 


RAPID  progress  is  being  made  in  the 
construction  of  the  large  bachelor 
apartment  hotel  which  will  occupy  a 
large  plot  on  the  east  side  of  Lexington 
avenue,  between  Forty-eighth  and  Forty- 
ninth  streets.  This  operation,  which  will  be 
known  as  the  Hotel  Shelton,  will  be  thirty' 
stories  in  height,  with  basement  and  sub- 
basement.  The  plans  and  specifications 
were  prepared  by  Arthur  Loomis  Harmon, 
H.  G.  Balcom  is  the  structural  engineer  and 
R.  D.  Kimball  is  the  electrical  engineer. 
The  project  represents  an  outlay  of  approxi- 
mately $5,000,000  including  land  and  building. 

The  plot  occupied  by  this  structure  is  ir- 
regular, with  dimensions  of  160  x  145  x  40 
X  100  feet,  and  contains  approximately 
23,000  square  feet.  The  land  being  improved 
has  a  combined  frontage  of  160  feet  5  inches 
on  Lexington  avenue,  which  comprises  the 
entire  block  front  with  the  exception  of  40 
feet.  The  plot  has  a  depth  of  145  feet  in 
Forty-ninth  street. 

The  owner  of  the  Hotel  Shelton  is  the 
Shelton  Holding  Corporation,  of  which 
James  T.  Lee  is  the  president  and  control- 
ling stockholder.  Mr.  Lee  is  also  the  prin- 
cipal owner  of  the  National  Association  and 
Berkely  buildings.  No  general  contract  has 
been  awarded  for  the  construction  of  this 
building  and  the  owner  is  placing  separate 
contracts  for  the  various  sub-trades  as  the 
work  proceeds. 

The  site  of  the  new  hotel  for  men  had 
already  been  partly  cleared  and  excavated 
by  the  International  Sporting  Club  which, 
before  it  disbanded,  planned  to  erect  a  large 
modern  clubhouse.  Further  excavations 
have  been  made  in  order  to  provide  for  the 
sub-basement  of  the  Hotel  Shelton  and 
foundation  work  is  now  about  ready  to  start. 

Necessary  financing  for  this  large  opera- 
tion was  arranged  through  a  first  mortgage 
serial  bond  issue  of  $4,000,000  on  the  land 
and  building  which  was  recently  underwrit- 
ten by  S.  W.  Straus  &  Co.,  investment  bank- 
ers. It  is  anticipated  that  this  structure, 
which  will  be  the  highest  hotel  building  in 
New  York  City  and  the  largest  bachelor 
apartment  hotel  in  the  world,  will  be  en- 
tirely completed  and  ready  for  occupancy 
by  May  1,  1923. 

The  Hotel  Shelton,  which  will  be  devoted 
exclusively  to  living  apartments  for  men, 
will  embody  numerous  features  in  plan  and 
equipment.  Every  convenience  and  comfort 
for  men  will  be  provided  and  in  many  ways 
this  project  will  be  more  like  a  perfectly 
appointed  club  than  a  hotel. 

Among  the  special  features  planned  will 
be  included  a  large  squash  court  on  the  roof  where  space  has 
also  been  provided  for  a  solarium  and  a  large  swimming  pool 
with  complete  Turkish  bath  equipment.  In  accordance  with 
the  provisions  of  the  Zoning  Laws  the  building  will  have  a  set- 
back at  the  height  of  the  fourteenth  floor  and  the  roof  at  this 
level  will  be  utilized  as  a  garden  restaurant.  The  building

Review  of  Real   Estate   Market  for  the  Current  Week 

Large  Properties  in  Strong  Sections  Led  the  Dealing,  While  All  Kinds  of  Parcels 
Throughout  Town  Swelled  the  Total  Volume 


THE  importance  of  the  dealing  in  the  real  estate  market 
and  the  volume  of  it  this  week  shows  that  brokers  and 
principals  have  not  yet  decided  on  their  summer  play- 
spell.  The  activity  for  the  time  of  the  year  was  considerable 
and  the  character  of  it  was  diversified  which  shows  keen  public 
interest  in  real  property.  Leading  the  market  were  some  sales 
of  marked  importance,  among  them  the  purchase  by  the  Stude- 
baker  Corporation  of  the  Winton  Auto  Company's  building,  at 
Broadway  and  70th  street,  for  a  sum  well  over  $1,250,000;  the 
sale  of  Forrest  Chambers  apartment  house  at  more  than  $2,- 
000,000;  the  purchase  of  two  business  buildings  at  the  south- 
west corner  of  Fifth  avenue  and  53d  street  from  the  Dreicer 
estate;  the  sale  of  a  large  automobile  station  at  the  northwest 
corner  of  Park  avenue  and  S7th  street,  for  about  $1,000,000;  the 
sale  of  the  Lexington  Avenue  Opera  House,  built  by  Oscar 
Hammerstein,  at  a  sum  well  over  $500,000;  a  block  front  of 
land  on  Washington  Heights  to  the  Chelsea  M.  E.  Church,  as 
a  site  for  a  new  edifice ;  several  costly  Lexington  avenue  cor- 
ners for  improvement  with  large  and  modern  buildings;  a 
number  of  costly  private  dwellings  in  choice  neighborhoods ; 
a  square  block  in  Long  Island  City,  as  the  site  for  a  huge 
storage  and  distributing  building  for  a  prominent  chain  grocer; 
numerous  long  and  costly  leases  of  well  situated  buildings  in 
Manhattan   at    rentals   aggregating   more   than   $1,000,000    each 


and  many  running  into  the  hundreds  of  thousands  of  dollars 
each.  The  University  of  Pennsylvania  Club  leased  two  fine 
dwellings  near  Fifth  avenue  for  21  years,  for  the  purpose  of 
merging  them  into  a  club  house.  A  21-year  lease  of  a  parcel  on 
West  34th  street,  opposite  Macy's,  was  negotiated. 

Lexington  avenue,  this  week,  quite  outdid  its  previous  recent 
performances  in  real  estate  activity.  It  means  that  the  avenue 
is  in  a  state  of  structural  transition  that  will  make  of  it  a  greater 
thoroughfare  than  ever  before.  Frederick  Brown,  operator, 
bought  a  large  corner  in  the  thoroughfare  for  reimprovement. 
Harlem  flats  were  in  strong  demand  as  were  dwellings  and  all 
other  kinds  of  property  on  the  East  side  of  the  city  generally. 

On  the  West  side  of  town  the  dealing  was  as  heavy  as  else- 
where. Choice  corners  on  Seventh,  Eighth  and  Ninth  avenues 
were  both  bought  and  leased  for  long  terms.  Many  of  the  par- 
cels will  undergo  extensive  alterations.  West  End  avenue  con- 
tributed at  least  one  good  corner.  Washington  Heights  dwell- 
ings as  well  as  apartment  houses  were  important  features  in  a 
busy  market.  A  lower  Cortlandt  street  corner  parcel  was 
acquired.  Upper  West  side  dwellings  sold  well.  The  lower  East 
side  of  the  city  was  busy.  In  the  old  wholesale  drygoods  dis- 
trict, in  Leonard  street,  a  loft  building  was  bought.  All  of 
the  East  side  avenues  throughout  their  length  were  especially 
active.     It  was   the  best   warm  weather  week   in   a   long  time. 


PRIVATE  REALTY  SALES. 


nn  HE  total  number  of  sales  reported,  but  not 
■*-  recorded  in  Manhattan  this  week,  was  1'2-ij 
as  against  70  last  week  and  107  a  year  ago. 

The  number  of  sales  south  of  59th  st  was  38, 
as  compared  with  25  last  week  and  31  a  year 
ago. 

The  number  of  sales  north  of  59th  st  was  86, 
as  compared  with  54  last  week  and  76  a  year 
ago. 

From  the  Bronx  41  sales  at  private  contract 
were  reported,  as  against  16  last  week  and  34 
a  year  ago. 

Statistical  tables,  including  the  number  of  re- 
corded instruments;  will  be   found  on    page  715. 


Would   Reduce    Its   Assessment 

Justice  Faber  in  the  Supreme  Court,  Brook- 
lyn, signed  an  order  on  June  1  at  the  request 
of  the  Bush  Terminal  Company  of  Brooklyn, 
directing  the  City  Tax  Commission  to  snow 
cause  on  June  22  why  the  assessment  of  $39.- 
25G,2fM)  on  the  Terminal  company's  property  in 
South  Brooklyn  should  not  be  reduced  by  $12,- 
rM>2.400. 

The  company  In  the  petition  states  that  the 
true  assessment  of  the  property  should  be 
$26,203,800.  One  of  the  items  of  alleged  over- 
valuation cited  by  the  company  was  that  of 
property  between  43d  and  51st  sts,  and  from 
First  av  to  the  pier  head,  which  was  assessed 
at  $12.Sri.T.OOO.  This  was  alleged  to  be  exces- 
sive by  .112.865,000. 


tenants  refused  to  sign  new  leases.  A  Muni- 
cipal Court  test  suit  was  decided  in  favor  of 
the   corporation. 

On  appeal  the  Appellate  Term  decjded  that 
the  demands  of  the  corporation  were  excessive, 
but  a  35  per  cent  increase  which  the  tenants 
were  willing  to  pay  was  allowed. 

The  opinion  of  the  Appellate  Division,  written 
by  Justice  Samuel  Greenbaum.  computed  the 
buildings  as  worth  .$1,765,000  and  the  company 
entitled  to  a  net  return  of  ."^HLOOO.  Expenses, 
including  taxes,  water  rates  and  "an  exagge- 
rated sum  for  depreciation,  amount  to  more, 
but  the  court  estimated  $145,000  for  such 
charges.  Rentals  for  the  year  ending  Septem- 
ber 30,    1920.   was  $197,863.07.

Improvement    Near    Grand    Central 

What  may  be  the  forerunner  of  an  import- 
ant development  or  improvement  of  a  large 
plot  of  unuspd  land  northwest  of  the  Grand 
Central  Terminal  was  the  announcement  of  the 
formation  of  the  370  Madison  Avenue  Co.  which 
is  controlled  by  Webb  &  Knapp.  This  address 
affects  the  block  on  the  west  side  of  Madison

Chelsea   M.   E.  Church  Again  Buys 

As  a  site  for  a  church  and  community  build- 
ing, the  Chelsea  Methodist  Episcopal  Church. 
Rev,  Christian  F.  Reisner  pastor,  bought  from 
the  J.  Hood  Wright  estate  the  plot  of  more 
than  ten  city  lots,  comnrising  the  block  front 
on  Broadway  between  I73d  and  174th  sts,  a  site

Sale  in   Penn  2one

St.  a  4-sty  brick  building  with  stores,  24.8x100, 
has  been  sold  by  Henry  Young.  Jr..  as  trustee, 
to  George  D.  Zahm.  The  parcel,  for  which  a 
recorded  consideration  of  .SI 25.000  was  paid,  is

Takes   Profit   on   Park   Ave.   Corner 

Negotiations  which  began  in  November,  1920, 
have  led  to  the  purchase  by  an  investor  of  the 
building  and  leasehold  at  the  northwest  corner 
of  Park  av  and  57th  st.  The  total  considera- 
tion in  the  deal  is  said  to  have  been  in  the 
neighborhood  of  .$1.0o0.00(t.  The  seller  was 
Harry  Collins,  head  of  the  house  of  Collins. 
dressmakers,  who  bought  the  5-sty  Indiana 
limestone  building  in  1919  from  the  White  Auto- 
mobile Co.,  which  had  put  up  the  structure  in 
1916. 

The  builders  of  the  structure  had  taken  over 
the  land  on  a  21-year  lease  with  several  re- 
newals from  the  owners,  Mary  W.  and  Elaine 
C.  White  and  Vanderbilt  Webb.  When  Mr. 
Collins  bought  the  property  he  also  took  over 
the  unexpired  lease  and  handed  this  on  in  turn 
to  the  investor,  who  has  just  bought  the  build- 
ing. The  latter,  however,  it  is  said,  intends  to 
exercise  the  option  of  purchase  in  the  original 
lease.  The  land  is  divided  into  two  separate 
ownerships.  One  involves  39  feet  on  57th  st 
and  SO  feet  on  Park  av.  and  is  held  by  the 
White  sisters.  Mr.  Webb's  parcel  measures 
20x79   feet  on   Park   av. 

Harris.  Vought  &  Co.  were  the  brokers.  They 
brought  Mr.  Collins  and  the  investor  together 
in  1920.  but  the  former,  who  had  bought  the 
property  as  a  home  for  his  business,  was  re- 
luctant to  let  it  go.  The  investor  kept  raising 
his  offer  from  time  to  time  until  Mr.  Collins 
could  no  longer  afford  to  reject  the  proposi- 
tion. He  is  said  to  have  made  a  profit  of 
almost  100  per  cent  in  the  sale,  and  under  the 
terms  of  the  agreement  will  remain  as  a 
tenant.  It  is  a  significant  fact  in  this  con- 
nection that  the  option  price  for  the  property 
named  in  the  lease  was  $315,000.  Today  the 
eorni-r   has  a   market  value  of  close  to  .$.500,000.

June  10,  1922 

Russell    House    Not    for    Scientists 

There  has  been  a  remarkable  evolution  of 
control  in  the  former  residence  property  of 
the  late  Judge  Horace  Russell  at  47  Park  av, 
southeast   corner   of   3Tth   st. 

Last  December  the  property  was  placed  on 
the  market  for  disposal  by  the  widow.  Mrs. 
Josephine  Hilton  Russell.  Fearing  that  it  might 
fall  into  the  hands  of  speculative  builders  and 
a  tall  apartment  built,  the  Morgan  and  other 
families  of  Murray  Hill  interested  in  the  preser- 
vation of  the  district  for  exclusive  homes  formed 
a   syndicate   and   bought    the   property. 

In  May  the  47  Park  Avenue,  Inc.,  as  the  syn- 
dicate styled  itself,  entered  into  a  contract  to 
sell  the  corner  of  the  Cuidado  Investing  Co., 
Robert  B.  Bowler,  president.  The  real  estate 
profession  will  be  interested  to  know  that  this 
contract  was  one  of  20  pages,  covering  every 
possible  phase  to  insure  the  reimprovement  of 
the  Russell  property  in  a  dignified  manner.  It 
was  drawn  by  George  N.  Whittlesey,  of  the  law 
firm   of   Osborn,    Fleming   &   Whittlesey. 

Subsequently,  the  purchasing  syndicate,  which 
bought  the  property  through  Cyrille  Carreau, 
entered  into  an  agreement  of  sale  with  a  com- 
mittee representing  the  Twelfth  Church  of 
Christ,  Scientist,  which  was  empowered  to  pur- 
chase the  property  for  a  church  site. 

According  to  Mr.  Bowler  a  contract  was 
entered  into  and  a  loan  obtained  for  the  church, 
but  the  board  of  trustees  of  the  church  failed 
to  back  up  the  action  of  the  committee  and  Mr. 
Bowler  added  that  in  all  probability  the  church 
would  have  a  lawsuit  on  its  hands  as  a  result 
of  this  failure. 

After  the  fiasco  with  the  church  trustees,  Mr. 
Carreau,  who  acted  as  broker,  turned  about 
and  became  a  principal  on  Saturday  taking  over 
as  the  head  of  a  new  syndicate  of  buyers, 
which  includes  Mr.  Bowler  and  a  prominent 
builder,  the  contract  made  originally  by  the 
47  Park  Avenue,  Inc.,  with  the  Cuidado  Invest- 
ing Co. 

Nothing  definite  has  as  yet  been  arranged, 
but  there  is  a  good  prospect  that  an  apart- 
ment house,  8  stories  in  height,  will  be  p-S\\t 
unless  the  church  trustees  reconsider  their  ac- 
tion and  make  a  new  contract  of  purchase. 

The  original  contract  prepared  by  Mr.  Whit- 
tlesey does  not  preclude  the  erection  of  an 
apartment  house  on  the  Russell  plot  so  long  as 
It  does  not  exceed  8  stories  and  a  pent  house 
and  its  exterior  is  dignified  and  in  keeping  with 
the  residential  character  of  Park  av.  Then 
again    the    corner  may   be   resold.

affairs  are  under  investigation  by  District  At- 
torney Banton,  has  been  purchased  by  Fred- 
erick Brown,  the  operator.  The  deal  was  ne- 
gotiated with  Manfred  W.  Erich,  trustee  in 
bankruptcy  for  the  Dier  firm,  through  William 
A.    White   &    Sons.

ing it.  They  have  occupied  the  structure  for 
their  business  since  the  alterations  were  com- 
pleted.    It  covers  a  plot  49.J>x53.

HEREAFTER 

The  Interest  Rate  on  PrudenCE-BoNDS 

WillBe5y2%Because6%IsNoLonger 

Consistent  With  Safety 

T~^HE  day  of  high  interest  rates,  which  was  an  after- 
-■-  math  of  the  War,  has  passed.  Succeeding  issues  of 
railroad,  industrial,  utiHty  and  municipal  bonds,  all  bear 
lower  rates  of  interest,  and  even  the  latest  issue  of  U.  S. 
Treasury  Certificates,  the  best  barometer  of  all,  is  back 
to  3y2%. 

Obviously,  the  same  condition  now  obtains  in  First- 
Mortgages.  We  are  today  faced  with  the  alternative 
of  readjusting  our  interest  rate  to  changed  conditions 
or  maintaining  it  at  the  expense  of  safety. 

In  fact,  it  has  for  months  past  been  increasingly  dififi- 
cult  to  secure  First-Mortgages  to  yield  6%  to  Prudence 
Bondholders,  without  relaxing  our  extraordinary  stand- 
ards as  to  the  stability  and  earning  power  of  the  prop- 
erties concerned.  Today  it  is  no  longer  possible.  6% 
guaranteed  is  no  longer  safe.  5^/^%  is.  So  on  future 
issues  it  will  be  5j^%. 

Special  Notice  to  Prudence  Bondholders 

The  change  to  5yi%  does  not  affect  Prudence-Bonds  issued  prior 
to  June  6th,  which  will  continue  to  pay  the  full  6%  to  maturity.

May  Commitments  Indicative  of  National  Building  Revival 

Figures  Tabulated  by  F.  W.  Dodge  Company  Show  Gain  of  50  Per  Cent,  in  Active 
Construction  as  Compared  with  Total  for  Same  Month  Last  Year 


INCREASED  construction  activity  tliroughout  tlie  United 
States  resulted  in  another  record-breaking  total  for  building 
commitments  in  May.  According  to  figures  tabulated  by  the 
F.  W.  Dodge  Company  all  previous  records  were  broken  in  April, 
■and  the  May  total  was  approximately  3  per  cent,  greater  than  that 
for  the  previous  month.  The  May  construction  total  for  the 
twenty-seven  northeastern  states  was  $362,590,000,  which  was  50 
per  cent,  greater  than  the  ligure  for  the  corresponding  month  of 
last  year. 

The  two  record  months  of  April  and  May  have  brought  the 
volume  of  new  construction,  started  from  January  1  to  June  1,  up 
to  $1,352,965,000,  the  highest  recorded  total  for  the  first  five  months 
■of  any  year  since  these  statistics  were  first  started.  The  year  to 
date  is  61  per  cent,  ahead  of  last  year,  and,  according  to  the  present 
momentum  of  the  industry,  the  final  percentage  of  increase  is 
likely  to  be  much  greater. 

The  construction  revival  has  now  become  general  throughout  the 
country.  Very  large  increases  in  active  building  have  been  recorded 
in  the  central  western  states,  which  heretofore  have  lagged  behind 
the  East. 

Contracts  for  residential  building  broke  all  previous  records  in 
May,  amounting  to  $140,932,000,  or  39  per  cent,  of  the  total  for  the 
month.  During  the  first  five  months  of  this  year  the  amount  of 
'residential  construction  started  has  been  double  that  of  the  corre- 
sponding period  of  last  year. 

Other  important  items  in  the  May  total  were:  $63,817,000,  or  10 
-per  cent.,  for  public  works  and  public  utilities;  $57,515,000,  or  16 
per  cent.,  for  business  projects  of  one  type  or  another;  $32,925,000, 
or  9  per  cent.,  for  educational  buildings,  and  $23,893,000,  or  7  per 
cent.,  for  industrial  plants.  Contemplated  new  building  and  engi- 
neering operations  reported  during  the  month  of  May  amounted 
to  $519,414,000  in  the  twenty-seven  northeastern  states. 

Contracts  awarded  during  May  in  New  York  State  and  New 
Jersey,  north  of  Trenton,  amounted  to  $88,295,000.  This  is  13 
per  cent,  under  the  Ap'ril  figure,  which  established  a  new  high 
record  for  this  particular  district.  The  decline  in  commitments 
for  the  month  was  entirely  in  New  York  City,  the  remainder  of 
the  district  showing  a  May  total  equal  to  that  of  the  previous 
month.  The  May  total,  however,  was  53  per  cent,  higher  than  that 
for  May,  1921. 

Construction  work  started  from  January  1  to  June  1  in  this  terri- 
tory has  amounted  to  $405,803,000,  which  is  greater  than  the 
amount  for  the  corresponding  period  of  any  previous  year  of 
record,  and  more  than  double  the  total  for  the  first  five  months 
of  last  year.  Last  month's  total  included  $39,804,000,  or  45  per 
cent.,  for  residential  buildings;  $15,504,000,  or  18  per  cent.,  for 
business  projects;  $9,375,000,  or  11  per  cent.,  for  social  and 
recreational  operations,  and  $7,420,000,  or  8  per  cent.,  for  educa- 
tional projects.  The  contemplated  new  construction  reported  in 
this  territory  during  May  amounted  to  $107,605,000. 

Total  construction  contracts  awarded  in  the  five  boroughs  of 
New  York  City  during  May  amounted  to  $51,639,300.  This  was 
an  increase  of  37  per  cent,  over  the  figure  for  May,  1921,  although 
it  represented  a  decline  of  35  per  cent,  from  the  high  figure  estab- 
lished in  April,  1922.  For  several  months  contract  letting  in  New 
York  City  has  been  going  ahead  at  such  a  rapid  pace  that  a  re.iction 
has  been  expected.  In  the  building  revival  New  York  has  been 
practically  a  year  in  advance  of  the  rest  of  the  country. 

During  the  first  five  months  of  this  year  the  total  of  building 
commitments  have  amounted  to  $263,046,500  for  the  metropolis, 
■nearly  two  and  one-half  times  the  amount  for  the  corresponding 


five  months  of  last  year.  Of  this  total  $151,663,200,  or  57  per  cent., 
has  been  for  residential  buildings  of  one  type  or  another. 

May  building  commitments  in  New  England  amounted  to  %33,- 
130,000,  which  is  76  per  cent,  above  the  total  for  May,  1921, 
although  this  territory  shows  a  drop  of  about  25  per  cent,  from 
the  April  figure,  which  was  a  record  for  this  district. 

Construction  placed  under  contract  during  the  first  five  months 
of  this  year  has  amounted  to  $137,063,000  for  the  New  England 
district,  which  is  more  than  double  the  total  for  the  corresponding 
period  one  year  ago.  Last  month's  total  included  $14,638,000,  or 
15  per  cent.,  for  business  projects ;  $14,258,000,  or  13  per  cent^,  for 
public  works  and  public  utilities,  and  $14,125,000,  or  12  per  cent., 
for  educational  projects.  Contemplated  new  work  reported  during 
jMay  amounted  to  $44,925,000  in  the  New  England  territory. 

May  building  contracts  in  the  Middle  Atlantic  States  (eastern 
Pennsylvania,  southern  New  Jersey,  Delaware,  Maryland,  District 
of  Columbia,  Virginia  and  the  Carolinas)  amounted  to  $54,652,000, 
an  increase  of  12  per  cent,  over  the  previous  month  and  25  per  cent, 
over  the  total  for  May,  1921. 

The  total  construction  started  in  the  first  five  months  of  this 
year  has  amounted  to  $199,471,000:  a  considerable  increase'  this 
\ear  over  the  corresponding  period  of  last  year.  The  May  figures 
included  the  following  items :  $22,434,000,  or  41  per  cent.,  for 
lesidential  buildings;  $11,378,000,  or  20  per  cent.,  for  public  works 
and  utilities;  $8,247,000,  or  15  per  cent.,  for  business  projects,  and 
$4,650,000,  or  8  per  cent.,  for  industrial  operations.  Contemplated 
new  construction  in  this  territory  for  the  past  month  amounted 
to  $59,481,300. 

Contracts  placed  during  May  in  western  Pennsylvania,  West 
Virginia,  Ohio,  Kentucky  and  Tennessee  amounted  to  $72,067,000, 
a  55  per  cent,  increase  over  May  of  last  year.  From  January  1  to 
June  1  construction  started  in  this  district  has  amounted  to  $207,- 
120.000,  an  increase  of  about  24  per  cent,  over  the  first  five  months 
of  last  year. 

Last  month's  total  included :  $22,397,000,  or  31  per  cent.,  for 
residential  buildings;  $11,665,000,  or  16  per  cent.,  for  public  works 
and  utilities,  and  $6,898,000,  or  9  per  cent.,  for  educational  projects 
of  various  types.  Contemplated  new  construction  reported  in  this 
district  during  May  amounted  to  a  total  of  $141,986,000. 

Building  contracts  awarded  during  May  in  the  Central  West 
(comprising  Illinois,  Indiana,  Iowa,  Wisconsin,  Michigan,  Missouri 
and  portions  of  eastern  Kansas  and  Nebraska)  amounted  to  $108,- 
533.000,  the  largest  monthly  total  since  July,  1919.  The  increase 
over  April  was  15  per  cent.,  and  over  May  of  last  year,  42  per 
cent. 

During  the  first  five  months  of  this  year  construction  was  started 
to  the  amount  of  $366,601,000.  or  38  per  cent,  more  than  in  the  first 
five  months  of  last  year.  Included  in  the  May  total  were  the 
following :  $37,795,000,  or  26  per  cent.,  for  residential  construc- 
tion ;  $25,462,000,  or  25  per  cent.,  for  public  works  and  utilities, 
and  between  9  and  10  millions  each  for  business,  educational  and 
industrial  buildings.  Contemplated  construction  reported  in  this 
district  during  the  past  month  amounted  to  a  total  of  $149,644,000.

cent,  and  over  May,  1921,  about  45  per  cent.  During  the  first  five 
months  of  this  year  construction  has  been  started  to  the  amount 
of  $36,907,000,  or  22  per  cent,  more  than  last  year.  Last  month's

June  10,  1922 


Building  Laborers  Sign  Wage  Agreement  With  Employers 

Contractors'  Representatives  and  Independent  Union  Officials  Fix  Scale  at  $7  Per 

Day  During  Remainder  of  Current  Year 


INTEREST  in  the  local  building  labor  situation  during  the 
past  week  was  centered  in  the  agreement  reached  between 
the  Building  Trades  Employers'  Association  and  the  Inde- 
pendent Bricklayers'  Helpers  and  Building  Laborers'  Union  of 
America,  Inc.  This  agreement  was  the  outcome  of  negotiations 
started  some  time  ago  but  which  were  brought  to  a  head  by  the 
action  of  the  Building  Trades'  Council  in  suspending  this  union, 
which  controls  the  labor  of  approximately  15,000  men,  in  an 
efifort  to  force  the  union  to  violate  its  old  agreement  with  the 
Building  Trades  Employers'  Association. 

Terms  of  the  agreement  provide  for  a  continuation  of  the 
present  wage  scale  of  $7  per  day  for  approximately  7,000  brick- 
layers' helpers  and  all  other  union  conditions  are  also  main- 
tained. The  agreement  is  to  run  until  January  1,  1923  by  which 
time  it  is  hoped  that  all  trades  affiliated  with  the  local  con- 
struction industry  will  have  adopted  new  agreements  for  the 
next  year. 

This  agreement  was  signed  in  the  offices  of  the  Building 
Trades  Employers'  Association  last  Monday  afternoon  by  mem- 
bers of  the  Board  of  Arbitration  of  the  Mason  Builders' 
Association  and  the  business  agents  of  the  union  but  it  does  not 
become  operative  until  it  has  been  formally  approved  by  the 
Board  of  Governors  of  the  Employers'  Association.  This  will 
not  be  possible  until  the  next  regular  monthly  meeting  of  the 
Board  scheduled  for  June  20. 

Signatories  to  the  agreement  were  Messrs.  Youngs,  Con- 
nover,  Woodruff,  Whiting,  Taylor  and  Lewis,  representing 
the  employers,  and  G.  B.  Dioguardi,  general  president  of  the 
union  headed  the  list  of  labor  representatives  which  included 
J.  Postiglione,  chairman  of  the  Laborers'  Council  and  the  fol- 
lowing business  agents :  Messrs.  D'Ippolitto,  P.  Dioguardi, 
Bonagure,  Angelo,  Billello,  Abruzzio,  Gardello,  Otto,  Nokelty, 
Panza,  Stabile,  Florio,  Ciffone  and  Morselli. 

The  agreement  between  the  mason  builders  and  the  laborers' 
union  provided  that  only  the  working  card  of  the  independent 
union  be  recognized  on  the  jobs.  This  union  is  not  affiliated 
with  the  America  Federation  of  Labor  but  in  the  past  has  been 
recognized  by  and  had  its  delegates  in  the  Building  Trades' 
Council.  It  is  the  largest  common  laborers'  union  in  the  build- 
ing trades,  ranking  in  numerical  strength  with  the  International 
Hod  Carriers'  Union,  which  has  a  limited  membership  in  New 
York  City. 

One  of  the  most  important  facts  in  connection  with  the  con- 
summation of  this  agreement  is  that  it  denies  the  claim  of  the 
Building  Trades'  Council  for  a  collective  agreement  for  all 
crafts  affiliated  with  the  construction  industry.  It  has  been  this 
claim  that  has  for  many  months  been  the  cause  of  the  dead- 
lock between  the  Council  and  the  Employers'  Association  in 
their  negotiations  for  a  general  revision  of  wage  scales. 

Immediately  following  the  signing  of  the  agreement  last  Mon- 


day, President  Dioguardi  of  the  independent  union,  announced 
that  he  would  begin  at  once  to  enforce  the  wage  scale  on  the 
jobs  of  the  contractors  who  are  not  affiliated  with  the  Employ- 
ers' Association,  as  the  union  is  pledged  to  equalize  wages  for 
laborers  on  all  jobs  in  this  city.  Since  the  agreement  was  signed 
there  has  been  practically  no  trouble  on  any  important  con- 
struction work  and  it  is  thought  that  the  situation  will  gradually 
become  settled  without  further  difficuly. 

In  making  this  agreement  with  the  Independent  union  the  em- 
ployers have  followed  out  their  avowed  policy  of  negotiating 
separate  agreements  with  the  various  trades  rather  than  nego- 
tiate a  collective  agreement  with  the  Building  Trades'  Council. 
The  employers  are  unwilling  to  make  terms  with  the  council 
because  this  body  has  been  repudiated  by  the  American  Federa- 
tion of  Labor  and  its  charter  revoked.  For  some  time  past 
representatives  of  the  various  trade  groups  comprising  the 
Building  Trades  Employers'  Association  have  been  negotiating 
with  their  respective  unions  for  a  revision  of  wage  scales  and 
working  agreements  for  the  remainder  of  this  year.  Although 
no  definite  report  is  obtainable  as  yet  of  the  results  of  these 
conferences  there  is  a  feeling  current  in  the  industry  that  the 
time  is  rapidly  approaching  when  the  union  officials  will  recog-. 
nize  the  wisdom  of  consummating  these  separate  agreements 
at  the  earliest  possible  moment  rather  than  wait  for  the  em- 
ployers to  sanction  a  collective  contract  with  the  Council  which 
is  now  without  standing  in  the  recognized  national  organiza- 
tion. 

During  the  past  week  there  have  been  persistent  rumors  to 
the  effect  that  negotiations  are  now  under  way  for  similar 
agreements  between  the  employers  and  the  unions  of  concrete 
laborers  and  plasterers'  helpers.  These  laborers  are  also  affi- 
liated with  the  independent  union  and  it  is  anticipated  that 
they  will  also  secure  the  retention  of  the  prevailing  wage  scales 
and  working  conditions,  at  least  for  the  remainder  of  the  cur- 
rent year.  All  of  these  agreements  will  recognize  the  independ- 
ent union  exclusively  and  may  react  against  the  international 
union  which  still  remains  affiliated  with  the  Council. 

C.  G.  Norman,  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Governors  of  the 
Building  Trades  Employers'  Association,  in  discussing  this  situ- 
ation, said  that  the  employers  were  not  inclined  to  believe  that 
the  Building  Trades'  Council  would  attempt  to  call  strikes 
against  the  builders  employing  the  independent  laborers. 

"We  are  not  alarmed,"  said  Mr.  Norman,  "the  skilled  work- 
ers will  not  strike  because  of  matters  affecting  the  unskilled 
laborers.  That  has  been  our  experience  in  the  past.  I  don't 
believe  that  any  attempt  will  be  made  to  call  out  other  men 
working  on  the  jobs  with  members  of  the  independent  union. 

"The  building  employers  will  continue  to  hire  independent 
laborers.  The  men  of  this  union  have  kept  their  agreement 
with  our  association  year  after  year." 


Manhattan  Building  Report  Shows  Decline  in  Plans  Filed  During  May 


THE  report  of  Manhattan  building  operations  during  the 
month  of  May  as  compiled  by  Superintendent  Charles 
Brady  shows  that  the  plans  were  filed  for  seventy  new 
buildings,  costing  a  total  of  $8,529,550,  as  against  eighty-five, 
costing  a  total  of  $15,058,635,  the  same  month  last  year,  this 
showing  a  drop  of  fifteen  in  number  of  buildings  and  $6,529,085 
in  moneys  involved. 

The  report  further  shows  that  plans  were  filed  for  one  dwell- 
ing, costing  $120,000,  as  against  seven  costing  $783,000  for  the

costing  $17,700  for  the  same  month  last  year.  There  were  no 
plans  filed  for  schoolhouses  or  hospitals  last  month  or  the  cor- 
responding month  last  year. 

The  report  shows  that  alteration  operations  have  fallen   off 
slightly,  there  having  been  applications  filed  for  changes  to  396 
buildings  at   a  total  cost   of  $2,527,712.

Local  Building  Industry  Now  At  Height  of  Season's  Rush 

Totals  of  Contemplated  Work  and  Actual    Construction  Commitments,  as  Tabulated 
by  F.  W,  Dodge  Company,  Indicative  of  Busy  Summer  Ahead 


DESPITE  a  considerable  decline  in  residential  construction 
during  the  past  month  the  totals  for  building  and  engineer- 
ing operations  in  Greater  New  York  for  May  represent  a 
tremendously  active  local  situation,  and  indicate  a  continued 
demand  for  commercial  and  industrial  space,  which  will  require 
some  time  to  satisfy.  According  to  figures  tabulated  by  the  F.  W. 
Dodge  Company  architects  and  engineers  in  this  city  reported 
work  on  plans  for  1,051  construction  projects  during  the  past 
month,  which  will  require  an  outlay  of  approximately  $51,820,100. 
During  the  same  period  the  actual  commitments  for  projects 
scheduled  for  locations  within  the  boundaries  of  New  York  City 
numbered  540  and  represent  a  total  estimated  cost  of  $51,639,300. 

Although  residential  construction  continues  to  lead  the  loial 
industry  in  both  volume  and  value  of  activity,  the  total  for  this 
type  of  operation  represents  a  slightly  lower  percentage  than  it 
did  in  previous  months.  The  demand  for  residential  space,  while 
still  excellent,  is  not  nearly  as  keen  as  it  was  several  months  ago, 
and  speculative  builders  are  going  somewhat  slower  than  they  were 
about  starting  new  projects  in  the  face  of  a  declining  demand  and 
a  slight,  though  perceptible,  softening  of  rental  values. 

Commercial   and  industrial  building  activity  in  New  York  City 


shows  considerable  activity,  and  the  figures  for  these  two  groups 
for  May  are  considerably  higher  in  percentage  than  they  have  been 
during  the  two  or  three  months  previous. 

In  the  group  of  new  projects  for  which  plans  were  started  during 
the  past  month  were  181  business  buildings,  such  as  stores,  offices, 
lofts,  commercial  garages,  etc.,  $11,036,500;  28  educational  build- 
ings, $2,837,000;  2  hospitals  and  institutions,  $40,000;  28  factory  and 
industrial  projects,  $2,105,400;  1  military  structure,  $175,000;  8 
public  buildings,  $385,500;  53  public  works  and  public  utilities, 
$3,739,900;  18  religious  and  memorial  operations,  $829,500;  718 
residential  projects,  including  apartments,  flats  and  tenements  and 
one-  and  two- family  dwellings,  $30,055,300,  and  14  social  and 
recreational  buildings,  $616,000. 

Among  the  540  projects  for  which  contracts  were  awarded  during 
the  past  month  were  104  mercantile  operations  of  various  types, 
$10,493,000;  14  educational  buildings,  $3,467,000;  8  hospitals  and 
institutions,  $1,900,000;  10  factory  and  industrial  buildings,  $1, 
181,200;  1  military  structure,  $12,000;  2  public  buildings,  $97,000; 
23  public  works  and  public  utilities,  $2,847,000 ;  14  religious  and 
memorial  operations,  $532,000;  351  residential  projects,  including 
multi-family  dwellings  and  one-  and  two-family  houses,  $23,367,300, 
and  13  social  and  recreational  buildings,  $7,742,000.

RECORD    AND    GUIDE 


June  10,  1922 


CURRENT    BUILDING   OPERATIONS 


LOCAL,  building-  conditions  are  greatly 
improved  when  compared  with  situa- 
tions which  existed  only  a  few  weeks  ago 
and  as  a  consequence  architects,  contrac- 
tors     and      material      manufacturers      and 

•dealers  are  more  inclined  to  look  toward 
the  future  with  optimism.  Considerable 
new  construction  has  been  released  dur- 
ing- the  past  week  or  ten  days  and  some 
very  interesting  and  important  projects 
are  included  in  the  operations  now  under 
construction.  Despite  the  upward  trend 
of  material  prices  a  large  amount  of  pro- 
posed building  has  been  in  the  hands  of 
contractors  for  estimates  and  the  majority 
of  material  dealers  and  sub-contractors 
say  they  are  well  pleased  with  prevailing 
conditions  and  the  outlook  for  the  re- 
mainder of  the  1922   building  season; 

Material  markets  are  extremerly  active 
and  although  demand  from  speculative 
bifilding  sources  has  slowed  down  to  a 
considerable  extent  there  has  been,  a  de- 
cided improvement  in  the  orders  emanat- 
ing from  commercial,  industrial  and  com- 
munity operations   which  are  now  becom- 

-  ing  a  real  factor  in  the  local  situation. 
Prices  are  all  holding  firmly  and  in  sev- 
eral instances  a  well  defined  trend  toward 
higher  levels   is   manifest. 

ConLmon  Brick — Common  brick  from  the 
Hudson  River  yards  is  coming  into  this 
city  in  good  volume  and  dealers  are  now 
able  to  keep- all  of  their  jobs  going  with- 
out delays  on  account  of  a  lack  of  this 
important  material.  Although  the  de- 
mand for  brick  is  still  exceedingly  keen 
and  arriving  cargoes  are  disposed  of 
immediately  upon  their  arrival  the  gen- 
eral  tone   of    the    market   is    more   settled 

.  than    it    was    a    fe-w    -weeks    ago    -when    a 

,  sliortage  almost  amounting  to  a  famine 
existed.  Brick  manufacturers  now  feel 
that  their  plants  will   be  in  a  position  to 

■  supply  ail  reasonable  requirements  for 
the   remainder  of  the   season  and   possibly 

■permit  the  storage  of  reserve  stocks 
against  the  coming  winter  season.  Prices 
are  very  firm  and  there  is  no-w  no  indi- 
cation of  a  softening  of  values.  Manu- 
facturing costs  this  season  are  consid- 
erably higher  than  they  -were  a  year  ago 
and  this  factor  will  not  permit  important 
reductions   at  this   time. 

Lumber — The  lumber  business  continues 
to  be  stimulated  by  the  steady  expansion 
of     the     building     revival    and     generally 

-better  industrial  conditions.     Manufactur- 

■  ing  consumers  have  again  become  an  im- 
portant factor  in  the  lumber  demand  and 
requirements     from     construction     sources 

,  are  steadily  gaining  in  volume.  Lumber 
orders     are     unusually     heavy     and     the 


majority  of  mills  are  accepting  orders  for 
considerably  more  lumber  than  they  are 
producing  at  the  present  time.  According 
to  the  American  Lumberman  in  the  first 
twenty  weeks  of  this  year  the  orders  ex- 
ceeded production  by  about  13  per  cent., 
while  for  the  past  week  or  so  the  orders 
have  been  about  26  per  cent,  above  the 
output.  Stocks  in  the  hands  of  manu- 
facturers have  been  materially  reduced 
and  a  number  of  producers  are  out  of  the 
market  for  the  time  being.  These  pro- 
ducers are  concentrating  their  efforts 
upon  making  shipments  so  that  they  may 


re-enter  the  market  as  soon  as  possible. 
Retail  demand  is  excellent  and  shows 
signs  of  steady  improvement.  Suburban 
construction  is  now  at  the  season's  height 
and  although  prices  are  somewhat  higher 
than  they  were  there  is  no  perceptible 
decline  in  the  volume  of  business  offered. 
Builders'  Hardware — Business  in  this 
line  is  extremely  satisfactory  and  all  cur- 
rent signs  indicate  a  steady  demand 
throughout  the  remainder  of  the  season. 
Retailers'  stocks  are  not  in  the  best  of 
condition  owing  to  the  intensity  of  the 
demand     but     shipments     from     manufac-

MATERIALS    AND    SUPPLIES 


turers  are  fairly  prompt,  althouirh  the 
producers  have  been  considerably  pushed 
to  keep  abreast  of  the  demand  and  their 
plants  are  operating-  on  full  time.  The 
recent  price  advance  seems  to  have  stim- 
ulated buying  to  some  degree. 

Linseed  Oil — Although  no  change  has 
taken  place  in  this  market  there  is  a 
likelihood  of  improvement  in  the  demand 
in  the  near  future.  The  large  volume  of 
building  now  nearing  the  final  stages 
must  create  a  demand  for  this  commodity 
and  there  is  a  possibility  that  manufac- 
turing   consumers    will     shortly    re-enter 


the  market.     Prices   are   easier  than   they 
were. 

Nails — A  fairly  active  demand  prevails 
and  the  outlook  is  encouraging.  The 
market  is  spotty,  however,  and  dealers 
in  certain  districts  are  extremely  busy 
while  others  in  different  locations  are 
complaining  of  a  lack  of  the  keen  demand 
which  existed  only  a  relatively  short  time 
ago.  Prices  are  subject  to  considerable 
fluctuation  according  to  the  demand.  New 
York  quotations  are  as  follows:  $3.35  base, 
per  keg  for  wire  nails  and  $3.90  base, 
per  keg  for  cut  nails.

construction.  The  outlook  for  a  strong 
demand  throughout  the  remainder  of  the 
season  is  bright.  Prices  are  firm  and 
stocks  are  adequate  for  all  requirements. 
Quotations  generally  are  79c  per  roll,  in 
35-lb.  roll  to  $1.70  for  5S-lb.  rolls. 

Electrical  Supplies  —  Business  in  the 
electrical  trade  is  quite  brisk  and  both 
manufacturers  and  Jobbers  report  a  sat- 
isfactory outlook  for  the  future.  Orders 
are  growing  more  frequent  than  formerly 
and  are  for  larger  quantities  indicating 
purchases  for  stock  rather  than  for  im- 
mediate requirements.  The  improvement 
in  the  general  building  situation  has  re- 
acted favorably  on  the  electrical  supply 
industry  and  numerous  orders  have  been 
placed  for  future  deliveries  of  wiring 
materials.  Prices  are  uniformly  firm  and 
several  slight  advances  have  been  re- 
ported recently. 

Oast  Iron  Pipe — Manufacturers  practi- 
cally all  report  splendid  business  with 
orders  flowing  in  and  plants  operating 
at  nearly  full  capacity.  Several  of  the 
larger  manufacturers  report  bookings  up 
to  three  months  ahead  and  there  is  no 
let-up  to  the  demand  in  sight.  Municipal 
business  is  not  particularly  active  but 
private  buyers  are  in  the  market  with 
unusually  heavy  reqquirements.  Prices 
continue  very  firm  but  as  yet  no  advances 
have  been  announced. 

Structural  Steel — During  the  past  week 
or  ten  days  bookings  have  dropped  off 
to  some  extent  but  as  a  number  of  new 
projects  have  been  released  for  estimates 
within  this  period  there  is  every  likeli- 
hood that  some  important  commitments 
will  be  announced  in  the  near  future. 
Local  contractors  are  generally  of  the 
opinion  that  there  will  be  considerable 
work  in  their  line  throughout  the  re- 
mainder of  the  year.  They  are,  however, 
considerably  concerned  about  prices  and 
state  freely  that  the  keen  competition 
now  prevailing  on  all  proposed  operations 
is  keeping  prices  far  below  what  they 
should  be  in  order  to  show  a  reasonable 
profit  margin.  Prices  are  very  firm  and 
•  are  showing  a  tendency  toward  advances. 

Building  Stone — The  large  amount  of 
high  class  commercial  construction, 
coupled  with  the  fact  that  several  very 
important  operations,  such  as  the  New 
York  Court  House,  will  shortly  be  started, 
has  materially  brightened  the  outlook 
for  excellent  business  in  building  stone 
during  the  coming  months.  Prices  are 
now  extremely  favorable  and  further  re- 
ductions are  anticipated  as  soon  as  freight 
rates   are   revised.

close-dowri  of  the  Johnson  private  plant,  and  the 
conversion  of  the  hydraulic  elevators  to  electric

One  of  the  Nation's  Greatest  Assets 

Now  that  the  cornerstone  of  the  New  York  Federal  Re- 
serve Bank's  new  building  has  been  laid  with  appropriate 
ceremonies  and  the  superstructure  is  under  way,  it  is  to  be 
hoped  that  the  campaign  of  misrepresentation  directed 
mainly  against  this  branch  of  the  Federal  Reserve  System 
— largely  by  self-constituted  friends  of  the  Western  farmers 
and  the  cotton  growers  of  the  South — will  cease.  The  dia- 
tribes of  these  agitators  have  been  supercharged  with  false 
statements  as  to  the  cost  of  the  New  York  bank's  new  build- 
ing and  the  necessity  for  it,  as  well  as  the  salaries  paid  its 
officials  and  the  use  made  of  its  money. 

The  reason  for  these  attacks  is  to  be  found  in  the  desire 
of  so-called  "friends"  of  wheat  and  corn  and  cotton  growers 
to  bolster  up  the  falling  prices  of  their  products  by  borrow- 
ing government  money  at  a  low  rate  of  interest  with  which 
to  carry  them  until  prices  return  to  war  levels.  Misconcep- 
tion of  the  purposes  of  and  restrictions  upon  the  operations 
of  the  Regional  Federal  Reserve  Banks,  and  the  system  it- 
self, led  to  the  assertions  that  the  ofificials  of  the  New  York 
bank  were  discriminating  against  the  farmers  by  withhold- 
ing from  them  the  money  they  wanted  and  of  favoring  Wall 
Street  with  it.  Naturally  the  next  step  was  to  fulminate 
against  the  misuse  of  "Government  funds'^ipr  the  purpose 
of  constructing  an  extravagant  bank  building  on  "Wall 
Street,"  and  the  payment  of  excessive  salaries  to  officials. 

"Wall  Street"  may  have  much  to  account  for,  but  it  cer- 
tainly was  not  responsible  for  the  creation  of  the  Federal 
Reserve  Bank  System,  which,  while  provided  for  by  Con- 
gressional action,  is  not  capitalized  with  government  funds. 
As  pointed  out  lay  Senator  Glass  in  his  recent  defense  of  the 
Federal  R&serve  System,  the  regional  banks  are  owned  and 
capitalized  by  the  stockholding  member  banks  in  each  of  the 
twelve  regions  and,  instead  of  being  financed  by  the  govern- 
ment, they  pay  into  the  National  Treasury  each  year  $60,- 
000,000  in  franchise  fees.  They  cannot  loan  a  dollar  to 
John  D.  Rockefeller  nor  to  any  other  person.  The  latest 
practical  illustration  of  the  effectiveness  of  the  working  of 
the  system  is  in  tlie  condition  of  the  money  market  through- 
out the  country  on  June  15,  when  the  Government  paid  out 
and  took  in  $1,300,000,000  without  disturbance  of  business, 
a  thing  impossible  liefore  the  Federal  Reserve  System  began 
its  operations. 

The  New  York  Federal  Reserve  Bank  naturally  is  the 
most  important  one  in  the  system.  The  plan  of  its  managers 
to  assemble  its  various  activities  under  one  roof  reflects  their 
good  judgment.  The  New  York  branch,  once  it  is  perma- 
nently housed  in  the  fine  new  structure  now  being  built  on 
Nassau  Street,  between  Liberty  Street  and  Maiden  Lane, 
will  be  equipped  for  even  greater  service  to  the  entire  coun- 
try than  is  possible  under  present  conditions,  with  various 
bureaus  scattered  in  downtown  buildings.  The  New  York 
laranch  has  a  staff  of  36  officers  and  2,715  clerks,  who  handle 
a  tremendous  volume  of  business  every  year.  Its  operations 
for  the  year  1920,  as  shown  in  a  recent  report,  were  on  a 
scale  not  easy  of  comprehension.  Discounts  and  advances 
involved  180,462  items,  aggregating  $50,539,428,847;  accep- 


tances purchased  for  New  York  and  other  Federal  Reserve 
Banks  involved  106,237  items,  aggregating  $2,428,000,000 ; 
Federal  Reserve  notes  and  other  paper  money  handled  and 
counted  involved  558,397,400  pieces,  aggregating  $2,291,- 
785,688;  checks  collected  numbered  87,036,424  items,  aggre- 
gating $55,325,112,827.  More  than  $17,000,000,000  was 
involved  in  transfers  of  funds  by  telegraph,  and  $48,840,- 
900,000  of  balances  were  settled  through  the  gold  settlement 
fund.  During  the  year  the  New  York  branch  handled  in 
custody  for  the  United  States  Treasury  and  member  banks 
securities  of  the  value  of  $100,759,404,785. 

These  statistics  emphasize  the  necessity  of  an  adequate 
home  for  such  a  super-institution  as  the  Federal  Reserve 
Bank  of  New  York.  Instead  of  finding  fault,  it  would  come 
with  much  better  grace  for  critics  in  other  parts  of  the 
country  to  give  thanks  that  the  New  York  branch  of  the 
Federal  system  is  so  capably  managed  as  to  be  able  to  erect 
at  its  own  expense  the  splendid  new  structure  now  under 
way, — a  structure  which  not  only  will  be  a  fine  architectural 
addition  to  New  York's  financial  district  but  one  which  will 
add  so  greatly  to  the  facilities  of  the  metropolis  for  contin- 
ued helpfulness  to  the  rest  of  the  United  States. 


Proposed  Center  of  Art  and  Progress 

The  announcement  of  preliminary  plans  for  the  creation 
of  a  great  municipal  art  center,  where  the  best  in  music,  the 
drama  and  other  cultural  arts  will  be  fostered  and  developed, 
has  raised  high  hopes  among  those  New  Yorkers  whose  in- 
terest lies  in  aesthetic  progress.  Even  those  who  have  not 
been  so  fortunate  as  to  have  had  the  advantages  of  exten- 
sive training  in  the  arts  recognize  the  potential  value  of  the 
idea  as  outlined,  and  desire  to  witness  its  fruition  for  the 
pleasure  and  culture  of  many  thousands  in  this  city. 

An  enterprise  such  as  described  by  those  responsible  for 
its  inception  must  become  of  inestimable  value  to  the  com- 
munity. The  leading  city  of  the  United  States  now  has  alto- 
gether too  few  such  temples  to  art  and  progress.  New  York 
sadly  needs  additional  facilities  for  the  development  of  a 
community  appreciation  for  the  best  in  literature,  art  and 
civics.  The  Metropolis,  in  relation  to  its  population,  has  far 
less  to  be  proud  of  in  the  way  of  art  museums  and  other 
great  centers  of  culture  than  many  smaller  cities  and  towns. 
True,  we  have  here  the  Metropolitan  Museum  of  Art,  the 
Brooklyn  Institute  of  Arts  and  Sciences,  a  variety  of  schools 
and  some  of  the  most  noteworthy  structures  in  the  country 
when  considered  from  an  architectural  viewpoint.  But  the 
rapid  growth  of  our  population  requires  that  we  constantly 
provide  additional  facilities  for  learning  and  culture,  so  that 
all  who  desire  may  enjoy  their  privileges. 

No  question  has  been  raised  about  the  value  of  this  im- 
posing structure  to  the  community.  The  building  alone  will 
be  an  inspiration  if  it  follows  the  preliminary  plans  as  out- 
lined, to  say  nothing  of  tiie  opjiortunities  which  are 
sciieduled  for  its  various  uses.  Architecturally  it  should  and 
undoubtedly  would  become  the  masterpiece  of  the  architect 
selected  for  its    design.      If  constructed    the    building    is

destined  to  become  one  of  the  leading  attractions  of  the 
MetropoHs. 

In  recognizing  the  aesthetic  value  of  the  project,  however, 
many  of  its  proponents  have  not  considered  the  severely 
practical  side  of  the  enterprise.  There  is  already  a  sharp 
controversy  over  its  location,  whether  or  not  it  should  be 
erected  because  of  an  unstabilized  economic  situation  and 
some  doubt  as  to  how  it  should  be  operated  and  managed. 
These  matters  are  all  subject  to  close  scrutiny  and  investiga- 
tion by  the  proper  authorities  before  the  building  is  actually 


started.  The  structure  should  not  be  erected  unless  the  pub- 
lic will  assume  part  of  the  responsibility  for  its  cost  and 
maintenance  as  a  monument  to  the  community's  civic  pride. 
Where  or  when  it  will  be  constructed  is  something  to  be 
decided  after  the  most  thorough  investigations  have  been 
made. 

Just  now  the  idea  is  the  thing.  It  is  good.  Its  consumma- 
tion into  something  tangible  will  add  to  the  greatness  of  the 
Metropolis  and  make  life  here  more  enjoyable  and  more 
profitable  to  all  who  take  advantage  of  its  facilities. 


Loose  Talk  About  Hudson  Brick  Situation  Refuted 


STATEMENTS  to  the  effect  that  Hudson  River  brick  manu- 
facturers have  restricted  production  in  order  to  create  a  short- 
age and  higher  prices  in  the  New  York  market  are  resented 
and  refuted  by  the  Common  Brick  Manufacturing  Association  of 
America.  This  organization,  which  has  its  headquarters  in  Cleve- 
land, discusses  in  its  June  Bulletin  the  statements  of  the  Lock- 
wood  Committee's  chief  counsel,  Samuel  Untermyer,  and  declares ; 

"The  true  situation  is  that  the  brick  manufacurers  of  the  Hudson 
River  are  putting  forth  their  utmost  effort  to  get  brick  into  the 
New  York  market  to  meet  the  demand.  Untermyer  has  been  most 
successful  in  keeping  the  public  well  stirred  up  regarding  the  build- 
ing situation.  He  has  done  more  to  discourage  and  retard  building, 
in  our  humble  opinion,  than  all  the  trusts  and  combinations  in  the 
country. 

"The  Common  Brick  Manufacturers'  Association  of  America 
holds  no  brief  for  the  manufacturers  of  the  Hudson  River  par- 
ticularly. Very  few  of  them,  in  fact,  are  members  or  ever  have 
been  members  of  this  association.  A  good  many  of  the  Hudson 
River  manufacturers  are  of  the  old  school;  they  are  making  brick 
by  antiquated  methods,  and  they  are  not  quick  to  accept  any  new 
ideas  for  the  promotion  of  their  product  and  the  extending  of  their 
market. 

"However,  we  know  these  men  and  they  are  as  honest  as  the 
men  in  any  line  of  business  in  America.  They  are  much  more 
conscientious  in  their  dealing  with  other  men  than  some  political 
investigators    are    in    making    sensational    statements    calculated    to 


tear  down  the  fortunes  of  honest  men  in  order  to  build  up  their 
political  prestige. 

"New  York  could  not  stock  brick  while  the  Hudson  River  was 
closed  with  ice,  nor  do  brick  plants  run  in  the  winter  in  northern 
climates.  Building  operations  took  on  an  abnormal  volume  even 
before  the  river  opened.  There  has  been  a  shortage  which  no  man 
cr  group  of  men  was  responsible  for. 

"Talk  about  importing  brick  is  as  foolish  as  some  of  the 
other  statements  coming  out  of  the  New  York  situation,  when 
the  facts  are  known.  Brick  is  selling  at  a  lower  price  in  the  prin- 
cipal, markets  in  America  today  than  in  any  of  the  English  markets. 
The  average  price  of  common  brick  in  England  today  is  $15  a 
thousand.  The  price  of  brick  delivered  on  the  job  in  Chicago  is 
$12  a  thousand.  To  the  price  of  brick  delivered  in  New  York  City 
always  must  be  added  the  exorbitant  transportation  charge  which 
now  exists,  plus  a  dealer's  profit,  and  local  delivery  charge.  New 
York  is  one  of  the  very  few  markets  in  America  which  buys  its 
common  brick  through  a  dealer.  In  every  other  large  city,  almost 
without  exception,  the  brick  are  produced  within  a  short  haul  of 
the  city  and  sold  directly  by  the  manufacturer. 

"The  situation  in  New  York  is  a  perfectly  natural  one.  The 
same  condition  exists  in  many  cities  today.  Philadelphia,  which, 
almost  since  the  founding  cf  the  city,  has  been  a  brick  producing 
centre,  is  today  experiencing  a  shortage  in  brick.  The  great  plants 
of  Chicago,  capable  of  producing  a  billion  brick  a  year,  are  ap- 
proaching full  capacity  to  meet  the  demands  in  that  city." 


New  Art  and  Music  Centre  Will  Cost  Millions 


Editor  of  The  Record  and  Gitide: 

The  scheme  of  Messrs.  Berolzheimer  &  Haag  for  the  estab- 
lishment of  a  new  musical  and  art  centre  is  impracticable 
for  many  reasons,  one  of  which  is  that  New  York  cannot 
afford  it,  and  the  point  should  be  brought  home  to  the  tax 
payers  and  every  rent  payer,  for  the  rent  payers  are  the  ones 
who   ultimately   bear   the    tax  burden. 

The  assessed  value  of  the  parts  of  the  blocks  between  S7th 
Street  and  S9th  Street  and  Seventh  and  Sixth  Avenues  which 
it  is  proposed  to  condemn,  is  $10,000,000  and  of  the  blocks 
between  S7th  and  59th  Streets  and  Seventh  Avenue  and  Broad- 
way (practically  all  of  which  is  included  in  the  scheme)  is  over 
$18,400,000.  Assuming  that  the  city  would  have  to  pay  only 
the    assessed    values,   the    cost   therefore    would   be   $28,400,000. 

The  income  to  the  city  this  year  from  taxes  on  the  property 
is  $781,000,  and  that  is  an  income  not  to  be  given  up  without 
some  study  as  to  how  it  may  be  replaced.  The  income  at  5 
per  cent,  on  the  money  the  city  would  have  to  provide  for 
buying  the  land,  assuming  it  could  be  bought  for  the  assessed 
value,  is  $1,420,000.  This,  with  the  lost  taxes,  shows  a  cost 
to  the  city  of  $2,201,000,  per  annum,  and  it  is  easy  to  under- 
stand that  the  city  would  be  called  upon  for  hundreds  of 
thousands    each   year    for    upkeep. 

A  proper  entrance  for  an  opera  house  could  not  be  arranged 
on  59th  Street  without  the  putting  underground  of  the  present 
surface  car  tracks,  and  that,  even  if  possible,  on  account  of 
the  existing  subway  would  be  another  enormous  expense. 

There  has  been  in  the  past  years  much  talk  of  the  need  of 
another  avenue  between  Sixth  and  Fifth  Avenues  to  relieve 
the   serious    congestion    in   these   streets,   but   that   has   always 


been  considered  impossible  of  fulfillment  on  account  of  the 
great  cost  of  acquiring  the  land.  The  area  of  land  required 
for  the  Berolzheimer  scheme  is  equivalent  to  that  of  a  60- 
foot  street  running  from  26th  Street  to  59th  Street,  and  such 
a  street  would  be  worth  much  more  to  the  City  of  New  York 
than   the   proposed   Berolzheimer   music   and   art   centre. 

In  startin'g  this  letter  I  had  intended  to  mention  but  one  of 
the  many  objections  to  this  Berolzheimer  scheme,  the  ex- 
travagance of  the  thing;  but  the  subject  of  congestion  having 
come  up  I  can't  help  calling  attention  to  the  further  trouble 
w-hich  w'ould  result  in  ending  Seventh  Avenue  at  57th  Street. 

I  think  that  this  whole  uneconomic  and  impractical  idea 
should  be  squelched,  and  I  hope  that  you  and  the  readers  of 
The  Record  and  Guide  will  take   steps  toward  that  end.

IN  Greater  New  York  only  one  family  in  eight  is  owner  of 
its  home,  according  to  a  statement  issued  by  the  Real 
Estate  Board.  Pennsylvania  has  the  highest  percentage 
of  home  owners  of  any  State  in  the  Union.  The  population 
of  this  State  in  1920  was  8.700,000.  As  the  average  family  in 
the  United  States  consists  of  4  3/10  persons,  this  would  mean 
that  there  were  2,200,000  families  in  the  State  of  Pennsylvania. 
Of   these    1,730,000  own   their   own   homes. 

Ohio  ranks  second  in  the  list  of  home  owning  States.  With 
a  population  of  5,800,000  or  1,370,000  families,  1,216,542  own 
their  own  homes.  Of  the  25,000,000  families  in  the  United  States 
11,400,000    are    home    owners.

REAL    ESTATE     SECTION 


Astor  Holdings  in  East  Bronx  Bring  Good  Prices  at  Auction 

Messrs.   Day   and   Da  vies   Conduct   Disposal  Sale  of  1,669  Lots  on  Order  of 

Trustees  of  Estate  of  the  Late  Viscount 


SITUATED  in  the  heart  of  a  rapidly  developing  section 
of  the  city,  with  adequate  transportation  facilities,  it 
was  a  foregone  conclusion  that  the  disposal  sale  of 
1,669  lots  of  the  estate  of  the  late  Viscount  William  Waldorf 
Astor,  begun  last  Wednesday,  would  be  characterized  with 
rapid  bidding  and  that  satisfactory  prices  would  be  secured 
for  residential  and  business  plots  in  this  well  located  tract  in 
the  Bronx.  The  sale,  conducted  by  J.  Clarence  Davies  and 
Joseph  P.  Day,  drew  a  large  and  representative  crowd  at  the 
Astor  Hotel  where,  in  the  ball  room,  the  auction  was  held. 
There  were  many  women  in  the  crowd,  which  was  composed 
principally  of  builders,  operators,  investors  and  individuals 
intent  on  picking  up  homesite  bargains. 

That  the  latter  class  were  not  disappointed  in  their  expecta- 
tions was  shown  as  the  sale  advanced,  for  they  proved  to  be 
the  most  active  bidders  and  buyers  at  the  sale. 

The  Astors  have  owned  this  land  for  many  years  and  held  on 
to  it  notwithstanding  many  flattering  offers  made  for  all  or 
part  of  it.  It  is  located  in  the  eastern  section  of  the  borough 
adjacent  to  the  East  180th  Street  subway  station,  Westchester 
and  surrounding  avenues  and  is  now  surrounded  by  modern 
five  and  six  story  apartment  houses. 

The  tract,  which  has  been  cut  up  into  1,669  building  lots,  has 
been  for  years  a  serious  barrier  to  the  development  of  the 
section. 

About  twenty-five  years  ago  William  Waldorf  Astor,  great 
grandfather  of  John  Jacob  Astor,  became  a  British  subject 
and  settled  permanently  in  England,  where  he  died.  He  was 
raised  to  the  peerage  as  Baron  Astor.  Later  he  was  made 
a   Viscount. 

At  his  death  his  estate  faced  large  inheritance  and  income 
tax  levies,  in  both  the  United  States  and  England.  Disposal  of 
some  of  the  larger  holdings  was  decided  on  in  view  of  this 
fact  and  the  sale  was  ordered  by  the  trustees. 

The  Astor  lots,  generally  speaking,  are  bounded  by  East 
172d  and  East  180th  streets,  and  Westchester,  Tremont,  Mor- 
ris Park,  Morris  and  St.  Lawrence  avenues. 

In  the  last  three  years  the  Astors  have  been  disposing  of 
their  properties  in  New  York  city.  The  returns,  which  have 
been  large,  have  been  invested  in  tax  exempt  securities. 

The  first  lot  sold  is  at  the  southwest  corner  of  Metcalf  and 
172d  street.  The  first  bid  for  that  parcel,  25x100  feet,  was  $200. 
In  rapid  succession  the  bids  were  raised  until  it  was  knocked 
down  for  $2,000  to  Frank  Grass,  a  leather  dealer.  In  less  than 
three  minutes  the  same  buyer  took  the  southeast  corner  of 
172d  street  and  Harrod  avenue  for  $1,600  and  the  six  intervening 
inside  lots,  each  25x100,  for  $1,200  each.  The  crowd  cheered 
Mr.  Grass  during  the  breathing  spell  at  the  conclusion  of  this 
first  transaction. 

D.  J.  Convisser,  who  conducts  a  clothing  store  in  Brooklyn, 
paid  the  highest  price  obtained  for  a  single  lot  at  the  sale.  He 
paid  $12,500  for  the  northeast  corner  of  Westchester  and  Mor- 
rison avenues,  a  parcel  directly  across  from  a  subway  station. 
For  the  adjoining  property  on  Westchester  Avenue  over  to 
Harrod  Avenue  he  paid  $47,900. 

Felix  Isman  stirred  up  the  bidders  by  taking  the  entire  block 
between  172d  and  174th  streets,  Croes  and  Noble  avenues,  sixty 
lots,  for  which  he  paid  $650  each.  When  he  told  the  auctioneer 
he  wanted  the  block  bidders  were  heard  to  remark  that  Isman 
had    something    interesting    up    his    sleeve.      Those    who    had 


shown   an   inclination    to   hold   back   jumped   into   the    bidding, 
particularly  for  nearby  lots. 

Lewis  Cohen  was  another  of  the  early  buyers.  He  bought  a 
plot  of  eight  lots  on  Morrison  and  Harrod  avenues  for  $9,600 
and  two  lots  adjoining  for  $1,800. 

A  corner  lot  at  Morrison  Avenue  and  172d  Street  was  pur- 
chased by  H.  Abend  for  $1,625,  who  gave  $1,150  for  an  abutting 
inside  lot. 

F.  N.  Peroff  bought  a  block  of  eight  lots  on  Metcalf  Avenue 
through  to  Harrod  Avenue  for  $12,300,  and  later  added  the  Met- 
calf Avenue  corner  at  $2,425  and  the  Harrod  Avenue  corner  at 
$2,225  to  his  purchases. 

Among  the  buyers  were  two  Philadelphia  operators,  Thomas 
Morch  and  Edward  M.  Solomon,  who  purchased  120  lots  on 
Morris  Park  and  East  Tremont  avenues  for  $150,000,  or  an 
average  of  $800  a  lot.  Ten  lots  on  Westchester,  St.  Lawrence 
and  Beach  avenues,  near  the  St.  Lawrence  avenue  station  of 
the  Pelham  Bay  Parkway  branch  of  the  subway,  were  sold  to 
Philip  Goldberg  for  $55,000,  or  an  average  of  $5,500  a  lot. 

The  first  day's  sale  reached  678  lots,  which  brought  $860,000. 
The  prices  obtained  were  considered  conservative  in  view  of 
the  location  of  the  property  and  the  great  possibilities  of  its 
immediate  development.  William  B.  Cadoza,  vice-president  of 
the  Farmers  Loan  and  Trust  Company,  one  of  the  trustees  of 
the  estate,  said  that  he  believed  that  the  public  had  fared  well  at 
the  opening  day  of  the  sale  as  lots,  especially  those  close  to  sub- 
way and  local  transit  lines,  were  sold  for  less  than  their  market 
value. 

Buyers  at  this  sale  were  advised  by  Messrs.  Day  and  Davies, 
the  auctioneers,  to  consider  the  remarkable  development  of  the 
Bronx,  which  has  been  marvellous.  In  1890  the  population  was 
60,000;  in  1895,  100,000;  in  1900,  200,000;  in  1910,  400,000;  in 
1920,  800,000,  and  today  it  is  close  to  a  million.  It  is  practically 
doubling  every  ten  years. 

Its  building  growth  has  been  greatly  retarded  from  1913, 
over  the  war  period,  and  this  part  of  the  Bronx  is  really,  today, 
ten  years  underbuilt,  and  property  in  this  vicinity  is  ten  years 
behind  its  actual  value.  This  fact  will  soon  be  recognized  and 
within  the  next  two,  three  or  five  years  this  property  should 
make  up  for  the  past  fifteen  years'  stagnation,  so  that  as  a  mat- 
ter of  fact  it  has  now  a  tremendous  speculative  possibility,  to 
say  nothing  of  the  building  that  will  probably  be  commenced 
at  once  on  the  opening  of  a  tract  of  this  kind,  surrounded  as 
it  is  by  a  populated  district  and  served  by  a  number  of  transit 
lines  with  stations  at  the  property. 

The  main  thoroughfares  through  this  district  are  West- 
chester Avenue,  running  northeast  and  southwest,  on  which 
the  Subway  runs,  with  two  stations  on  the  property;  East 
177th  Street,  running  east  and  west;  East  Tremont  Avenue, 
also  running  northeast  and  southwest;  and  Morris  Park 
Avenue,  running  in  the  same  direction. 

All  these  thoroughfares  are  great  business  arteries  at  The 
present  time  and  run  through  or  past  this  property,  and  when 
the  district  is  built  up.  they  are  destined  to  be  great  business 
thoroughfares  as  they  are  to  the  South  and  West  where  they 
run  through  a  populous  section.  They  are  all  fully  improved 
streets. 

Under  the  Zoning  system,  a  large  part  of  the  property  is 
restricted  for  dwelling  purposes,  other  portions  for  business, 
while  on  still  other  streets  the  property  is   unrestricted.

Marble  Hill  Enters  on  Era  of  Interesting  Development 

Manhattan's  Most  Northerly  Section  Losing  Its  Suburban  Character  with  the 
Erection  of  Apartments  and  Attached  Dwellings  Along  Subway 

LYING  dormant  for  a  long  time,  property  on  Marble  Hill, 
northerly  extremity  of  Manhattan,  has  undergone  within 
the  last  few  months  a  real  estate  movement  that  presages 
a  building  movement  of  considerable  proportions  later  on. 
Some  large  plots  have  been  bought  for  improvement  with  6- 
story  apartment  houses.  None  of  these  buildings  will  contain 
stores  except  those  on  and  east  of  Broadway.  Broadway  is 
the  business  thoroughfare  of  Marble  Hill,  while  the  level  part 
of  the  Hill  east  of  Broadway  to  Harlem  River  is  given  over 
primarily  to  industrial  plants  of  various  kinds. 

Marble  Hill  is  unique  in  one  respect.  It  is  the  only  part  of 
Manhattan  where  the  building  of  small  private  houses  is  going 
on.  Some  3-story  brick  dwellings  were  recently  completed  on 
Van  Corlear  Place  and  on  West  227th  Street,  so  when  one  again 
hears  the  oft-repeated  remark  that  medium-priced  dwellings  are 
a  thing  of  the  past  in  Manhattan  he  need  but  think  of  Marble 
Hill.  This  part  of  Manhattan  is  a  real  estate  anomaly.  Mod- 
ern apartments  there  are  renting  at  $18  to  $20  a  room  a  month, 
and  with  modern  transit  facilities  close  by.  There  is  a  rapid- 
transit  station  at  22S  Street  and  Broadway,  on  the  Hill.  Mod- 
ern brick  private  dwellings  there  are  selling  at  $14,000  and 
slightly   upward. 

There  is  no  business  section  west  of  Broadway.  Before  the 
Harlem  Ship  Canal  was  cut  through  and  divided  Marble  Hill 
from  the  Dyckman  section  the  Hill  formed  a  bold  northern 
promontory  of  Manhattan.  Subsequently,  and  before  Spuyten 
Duyvil  Creek  was  filled  in  and  eliminated,  Marble  Hill  was  an 
island  surrounded  by  the  creek,  the  Harlem  River  and  the 
Ship  Canal.  Now  it  is  a  detached  hill  belonging  to  Manhattan. 
Many  have  an  erroneous  idea  that  it  is  part  of  the  Bronx. 

Because  of  the  lay  of  the  land  many  of  the  lots  on  Marble 
Hill  are  terraced  and  high  above  the  grade  of  the  streets.  The 
streets  are  built  like  steps,  some  lower  than  others.  All  muni- 
cipal improvements,  including  sewers,  have  been  made  in  most 
of  the  thoroughfares.  There  are  about  JIS  private  dwellings, 
mainly  in  the  center  and  along  the  western  slope.  The  highest- 
priced  residential  lots  are  on  Adrian  Avenue,  along  the  western 
slope,  and  commanding  an  unobstructed  scenic  view  of  Spuyten 
Duyvil  and  Riverdale.  Nothing  will  ever  obstruct  this  outlook. 
Lots  here  are  worth  $3,600  and  upward,  according  to  the  par- 
ticular location.  Values  on  this  avenue  will  take  a  strong  up- 
ward trend  if  a  contemplated  bridge  across  the  Harlem  Ship 
Canal  from  the  south  end  of  it,  on  Marble  Hill,  to  Seaman  Ave- 
nue in  the  Dyckman  section  is  built.  The  proposition  is  now 
before  the  Local  Board  of  Washington  Heights.  That  body 
favors  the  structure  and  eventually  it  will  come  before  the. 
Board  of  Estimate.  If  the  bridge  is  built  it  will  make  a  direct 
vehicular  thoroughfare  from  the  region  north  of  Marble  Hill 
to  the  northern  end  of  Riverside  Drive  at  Dyckman  Street. 

Marble  Hill  Avenue  penetrates  the  crest  of  Marble  Hill. 
From  it  is  an  unobstructed  view  of  Isham  Park  and  Spuyten 
Duyvil  to  the  south,  the  western  ridge  of  the  Bronx  to  the  east 
and  Westchester  to  the  north.  Lots  here  are  worth  about 
$3,500  each.  On  the  peak  of  the  crest  are  Van  Corlear  Place 
and  Fort  Charles  Place,  which  form  a  horseshoe  and  join 
Jacobus  Place  on  the  south  and  West  227th  Street  on  the  north. 
Marble  Hill  Avenue  is  more  directly  accessible  to  the  rapid- 
transit  station  than  any  other  residential  street  on  the  Hill. 
Apartment  houses  will  be  built  there  more  quickly  than  else- 
where on  this  knob  of  Manhattan,  in  all  likelihood.  Just  across 
the  Harlem  Ship  Canal  and  on  the  northern  extremity  of  the 
Dyckman  section  is  the  immense  site  for  the  new  stadium  of 
Columbia  University  which  was  given  by  George  F.  Baker. 
Many  residents  of  Marble  Hill  can  look  straight  down  on  the 
stadium. 

Some  duplex  houses  were  recently  built  on  Fort  Charles 
Place  opposite  the  site  of  the  Revolutionary  fort  of  that  nf.me, 
thus  showing  Marble  Hill  as  the  only  part  of  Manhattan  where 


two-family  houses  also  abound.  Lots  on  Van  Corlear  Place  and 
on  Fort  Charles  Place  range  in  value  from  $3,200  to  $3,400  each, 
as  they  do  also  on  West  227th  Street,  which  overlooks  the  terri- 
tory north  of  Alarble  Hill.  Lots  on  Jacobus  Place  are  held  at 
from  $2,800  to  $3,000  each.  On  Fort  Charles  Place  is  an  apart- 
ment house  known  as  Alexander  Court,  named  in  honor  of  the 
late  Richard  Alexander,  pioneer  developer  of  Marble  Hill  and 
who  had  much  to  do  with  laying  out  its  street  system.  There 
is  a  viaduct  and  bridge  across  the  Harlem  River  connecting 
22Sth  Street,  Marble  Hill,  with  Kingsbridge  Road  in  the  W'est 
Bronx. 

The  penetration  of  Marble  Hill  by  the  rapid  transit  system 
will  show  redounding  benefit  to  fee  values  there  as  time  goes 
on.  It  brought  that  section  within  the  five-cent-fare  zone, 
whereas  previously  the  Putnam  Division  of  the  New  York  & 
Harlem  Railroad  served  it.  The  railroad  lost  a  number  of  com- 
muters and  Manhattan  lost  its  suburban  part  to  urban  growth. 
Rapid  transit  has  added  to  Marble  Hill  numerous  apartment 
houses  with  stores,  whereas  previous  thereto  residents  had  few 
stores  to  serve  them.  Broadway,  there,  is  built  almost  solid 
with  5-story  apartment  houses,  with  store  on  the  ground  floors. 
The  estate  of  George  F.  Johnson  owns  some  large  vacant  plots 
in  that  vicinity. 

There  arc  apartment  houses  on  Terrace  View  Avenue  ar.d  a 
6-story  apartment  house  with  stores,  covering  a  large  plot  at 
Marble  Hill  Avenue  and  225th  Street.  Five-story-and-basement 
apartment  houses  cover  the  large  plot  at  Marble  Hill  Avenue 
and  228th  Street,  The  tendency  is  to  improve  with  apartment 
houses  large  plots  on  streets  on  the  eastern  slope  of  the  Hill. 
This  section  of  Manhattan  is  covered  by  one  block  number  on 
the  city  map.    There  is  a  post-office  station  on  Broadway. 

Broadway  is  restricted  against  public  garages  on  the  theory 
that  such  structures  impair  the  trade  character  of  a  good  shop- 
ping street.  A  large  service  station  for  automobiles  is  being 
built  at  the  southeast  corner  of  230th  and  Exterior  Streets, 
close  to  Broadway.  There  are  four  blocks  of  Broadway  on 
Marble  Hill.  The  level  area  below  the  northern  end  of  the  Hill 
and  which  formerly  skirted  Spuyten  Duyvil  Creek  will  be 
gradually  utilized  for  garages  and  industrial  plants  of  various 
kinds.     It  is  more  suitable  for  such  uses  than  for  anything  else. 

The  largest  single  vacant  tract  on  Marble  Hill  is  in  the  level 
area  bounded  by  Exterior  Street,  Broadway,  22Sth  and  227th 
Streets  Owned  by  Frank  Farrell,  it  comprises  260  lots.  There 
are  no  definite  plans  for  its  use.  It  was  originally  bought  as  the 
site  for  the  American  League  Baseball  Park,  but  that  was  es- 
tablished elsewhere.  Henry  Morganthau  sixteen  years  ago 
bought  the  vacant  plot.  125-100,  at  the  northeast  corner  of 
Broadway  and  225th  Street,  right  at  the  rapid-transit  station. 
The  most  recent  sales  of  Broadway  lots  were  at  $6,000  each. 
The  Morgenthau  holding,  being  a  corner  parcel  and  right  at 
the  subway  station,  may  be  worth  considerably  more.  Just  now 
Mr.   Morgenthau  is  watching  Marble  Hill  grow. 

Recently  the  estate  of  Emil  Roth  sold  to  the  Fort  Charles 
Development  Company.  J.  H.  Brundage,  president,  the  vacant 
plot  42  Fort  Charles  Place,  53x65xirregular.  Plans  have  been 
prepared  to  improve  the  site  with  duplex  houses.  A  6-story 
apartment  house  was  recently  built  on  the  eastern  slope  of 
Marble  Hill  and  overlooking  Broadway.  It  is  amid  detached 
private  dwellings.  The  likelihood  is  that  all  of  the  adjacent 
dwellings  will  eventually  give  way  to  apartment  houses. 

Marble  Hiss  is  so  named  because  it  abounds  in  soft  marble. 
Previous  to  the  filling  in  of  Spuyten  Duyvil  creek  the  New 
York  Central  circled  the  Hill.  Now  it  runs  along  its  south 
side  close  to  the  Harlem  Ship  Canal.  As  fee  values  advance  on 
Marble  Hill  manj'  of  the  old  frame  detached  dwellings  there 
are  destined  to  make  way  for  more  fireproof  buildings.  The 
section  is  bound  to  pull  stronger  than  the  Bronx  from  the  fact 
that  it  is  part  of  Manhattan.

Rapid  Progress  on  Large  Office  Building  for  Attorneys 

Handsome    Structure,    Adjoining    Bar   Association  Headquarters,  Designed  by 
Severance  &  Van  Alen  Especially  for  Use  of  Legal  Profession 

BUILDINGS  devoted  to  the  uses  of  special  professions, 
trades  or  arts,  have  invariably  proven  a  great  success  from 
the  standpoint  of  tenant  and  landlord  alike.  The  Archi- 
tects' Building,  at  101  Park  Avenue,  is  a  notable  example  of  the 
the  buildings  specially  designed  to  house  a  profession  or  craft 
and  there  are  several  other  well-known  structures  which  have 
been  equally  successful  in  obtaining  tenants  who  are  represen- 
tative of  their  respective  lines. 

For  several  years  past  there  has  been  considerable  agitation 
amongst  members  of  the  New  York  Bar  for  a  modern  office 
building  devoted  to  the  special  use  of  attorneys.  This  demand 
is  being  met  by  the  construction  of  the  Bar  Building,  which  is 
being  erected  on  property  controlled  by  the  Association  of  the 
Bar  of  the  .City  of  New  York,  adjacent  to  and  connected  with 
its  present  house.  The  Bar  Association  will  occupy  two  floors 
in  the  new  structure  for  the  extension  of  its  library  and  addi- 
tional consultation  rooms. 

The  site  selected  for  this  building  is  ideal  in  every  respect. 
It  is  in  the  heart  of  the  rapidly  growing  mid-town  business  sec- 
tion, close  to  the  theatres  and  clubs  and  convenient  to  the 
section  which  is  steadily  becoming  recognized  as  an  up-town 
banking  center.  The  building  will  extend  through  the  block 
from  37  West  Forty-third  Street  to  36  West  Forty-fourth 
Street.  A  grand  concourse  serves  as  a  pedestrian  passage 
throughout  its  length.  Forty-fourth  Street  is  recognized  as  the 
most  important  and  highly  developed  crosstown  thoroughfare 
between  Forty-second  and  Forty-seventh  Streets. 

Within  a  radius  of  two  blocks  is  a  station  for  every  r?pid 
transit  line  which  serves  every  part  of  New  York  City  and  its 
suburbs,  six  surface  lines,  an  elevated  railway  and  various  bus 
lines.  The  site  of  the  structure  is  only  a  few  minutes'  distant 
from  the  Pennsylvania  Station  and  less  than  two  minutes'  walk 
from  the  Grand  Central  Terminal.  Its  convenience  to  these 
railroad  terminals  offers  an  especial  advantage  to  those  living 
in  the   suburbs. 

The  building  has  been  designed  by  Severance  &  Van  Alen, 
architects,  along  classical  lines  to  harmonize  with  the  stately 
character  of  the  Bar  Association  Building  proper.  The  struc- 
ture will  be  fourteen  stories  in  height.  There  are  9,330  square 
feet  on  each  floor.  A  marble  entrance  hall  extends  from  slr;et 
to  street.  The  architects  have  made  an  exhaustive  study  of 
the  requirements  of  the  members  of  the  Bar  and,  as  a  result, 
have  designed  a  building  at  once  practical  and  highly  artistic 
in  effect. 

In  addition  to  the  superior  features  already  suggested  and 
of  peculiar  significance  to  attorneys,  is  the  fact  that  the  Bar 
Building  offices  will  enjoy  unobstructed  light  and  air  on  all 
four  sides.  There  is  no  lost  space,  no  dark  corner  and  no  poor 
ventilation. 

The  Bar  Building  will  be  completed  and  ready  for  occupancy 
on  October  1.  1922.  and  will  be  under  the  personal  management 


Severance   Ar   Van   Alen,    Arehitt-eUs. 

BAR  BUILDING  AND  ASSOCIATION  HEADQUARTERS 


of  an  operating  corporation  of  which  Burton  Thompson  is  man- 
aging director.  The  highest  standard  of  service  will  be 
maintained  in  every  particular  involving  the  comfort  and  con- 
venience of  tenants. 


Estate  of  Clinton  W.  Sweet  Sold  at  Auction  for  $112,000 


THE  old  homestead  of  the  late  Clinton  W.  Sweet,  compris- 
ing forty  acres  of  land  in  the  Dunwoodie  section  of 
Vonkers,  was  sold  at  auction  last  Saturday,  together  with 
23  quarter-  and  half-acre  plots  and  251  lots  into  which  the  estate 
had  been  subdivided.  .M!  the  pieces  were  disposed  of  readily, 
the  total  amount  received  for  the  275  parcels  aggregating 
$112,000. 

Interest  centered  in  the  large  house  which  had  been  unoccu- 
pied since  the  death  of  Mr.  Sweet.  This  was  sold  to  Fred 
Hurling,  who  paid  $8,300  for  the  homestead  including  three  lots, 
ai'I  $750  for  an  additional  lot,  making  a  total  of  $9,050.  Other 
successful  bidders  were  the  J.  Diehl  Construction  Company  and 
Jacob   Harris.     Prices  of  single  lots  ranged   from  $150  to  $750. 


The  property  at  the  corner  of  Jerome  and  Vonkers  Avenues 
was  sold  for  $1,100.  Lots  overlooking  the  valley,  four  hundred 
feet  from  Jerome  .-Xvenue,  were  sold  for  $100.  The  whole  of 
Block  G  sold  for  $16,375;  Bloc^  ".  fifty-one  lots,  brought  $17,- 
705,  not  including  the  little  oi.  ■,  an  average  of  $350  a  lot; 
Block  H,  solid  rock  12  feet  hign,  brought  the  sum  of  $1,400; 
the  rest  of  Block  H  was  sold  for  $14,165,  while  Block  E,  con- 
sisting of  53  lots,  was  sold  for  $12,750. 

Prices  brought  for  the  various  parcels  in  this  plot  indicate  a 
very  good  demand  for  building  sites  in  the  outskirts  of  the 
city  and  prove  to  builders  that  there  will  continue  to  be  a 
strong  demand  for  construction  work  for  the  rest  of  the 
season,  which    mav  be   a   record   one.

Review  of  Real  Estate  Market  for  the   Current  Week 

Large  Apartment   Houses,   a   Site   for   New   Garment    Centre   Building  and   a 
Purchase  by  Macy  Loomed  Among  Many  Interesting  Deals 


THE  week  was  one  of  varied  and  interesting  dealing  in 
large  properties,  both  in  selling  and  leasing.  Dis- 
tinguished among  them  was  the  sale  of  the  13-story  and 
basement  apartment  hotel  12-14  East  60th  Street  to  a  prom-nent 
hotel  owner,  at  a  figure  in  the  neighborhood  of  $1,500,000.  Some 
fine  dwellings  near  the  fine  residential  part  of  Fifth  Avenue 
were  sold.  That  co-operative  apartment  houses  are  still  popu- 
lar was  evidenced  by  the  sale  of  a  large  one  on  Park  Avenue. 
A  group  of  five  old  buildings  on  West  30th  Street,  between 
Seventh  and  Eighth  Avenues,  were  sold  to  a  fur  firm  who  will 
reimprovc  the  site  with  a  large  building  for  the  manufacture  of 
fur  garments.  The  aggregate  cost  of  this  job  will  be  close  to 
$1,000,000.  Third  Avenue  and  Lexington  Avenue  are  still  good 
contributors  to  the  market's  business.  A  tenant  on  the  lower 
East  side  bought  an  8-story  building.  R.  H.  Macy  &  Company

BUILDING    SECTION 


Crisis  in  Brick  Supply  for  Metropolis  Has  Been  Averted 

Exhaustive  Survey  of  Hudson  Valley  Plants  Shows  Manufacturers  Are  Producing 
at  Record  Rate  with  Danger  of  Shortage  Now  Passed 


ARCHITECTS,  contractors,  prospective  builders  and  others 
who  have  feared  that  the  recent  scarcity  of  common  brick 
would  continue  indefinitely  and  result  in  delaying  con- 
struction in  the  Metropolitan  district — if  not  altogether  pre- 
venting hundreds  of  projects  from  starting — would  feel  entirely 
assured  if  they  could  witness  the  present  activity  in  the  brick- 
making  plants  located  in  the  Hudson  River  Valley.  Several 
weeks  ago  when  the  shortage  was  most  acute,  the  manufactur- 
ers assured  the  building  industry,  through  the  dealers  in 
masons'  materials,  that  they  were  exerting  every  effort  to 
relieve  the  tension  in  the  brick  situation  by  operating  their 
plants  to  the  full  capacity  of  machines,  labor  and  fuel.  The 
threatened  famine  was  checked  and  practically  all  active  jobs 
were  kept  moving  on  a  day-to-day  supply.  There  is  now  every 
reason  to  believe  that  common  brick  from  the  river  plants  will 
be  available  for  all  reasonable  demands  during  the  remamder 
of  the  current  building  season  and  that  a  reserve  supply  will 
be  created  to  take  care  of  winter  work  and  allow  for  the  re- 
quirements of  the  early  spring  of  1923. 

In  order  that  the  building  industry  of  the  Metropolitan  Dis- 
trict might  know  the  real  truth  of  the  common  brick  situation 
and  to  test  recent  assertions  that  brick  manufacturers  were 
deliberately  holding  back  their  product  in  order  to  maintain 
the  prevailing  high  level  of  prices  in  the  wholesale  market. 
The  Record  and  Guide  has  made  an  exhaustive  investigation  of 
the  manufacturing  situation.  Prominent  manufacturers  were 
visited  at  their  plants  and  a  study  made  of  the  problems  of 
manufacturing  which  have  been  directly  responsible  for  the  re- 
cent shortage,  the  reasons  for  the  prevailing  high  price  levels, 
the  outlook  for  supplies  during  the  remainder  of  this  season, 
and   the   probable  trend  of   common  brick   prices. 

Of  paramount  importance  to  the  industry,  the  investigation 
shows  conclusively  that  the  varied  claims  of  the  producers' 
responsibility  for  the  current  brick  shortage  through  deliber- 
ately withholding  shipments  from  the  market  so  as  to  maintain 
high  price  levels  were  utterly  groundless.  From  Haverstraw  to 
Cocymans,  the  region  in  which  the  brick  for  the  metropolis  is 
made,  is  alive  with  activity,  with  all  manufacturers  operating 
their  machines  to  the  capacity  of  their  drying  yards  and  making 
all  haste  to  get  brick  moulded,  burned  and  shipped  in  an  ear- 
nest effort  to  relieve  the  stringency  in  this  city  and  its  environs. 
Right  now  there  is  greater  activity  in  these  yards  than  there 
has  been  at  any  similar  period  of  the  season  for  several  years 
past.  The  rate  of  production  at  present  compares  favorably 
with  that  of  the  pre-war  boom  years  in  the  building  industry — 
those  seasons  in  which  the  producers  established  their  high 
records  for  output.  ' 

It  is  unlikcJy  that  the  total  output  of  the  Hudson  River  yards 
during  1922  will  equal  the  previous  maximum  figures,  as  today 
there  are  only  about  one-half  as  many  yards  as  were  in  opera- 
tion then.  But,  according  to  the  prevailing  rate  of  progress,  the 
total  output  for  this  season  will  be  from  25  to  50  per  cent, 
greater  than  it  was  last  year,  which  will  assure  adequate  sup- 
plies of  brick  for  all  active  work  as  well  as  all  projected 
operations.  Furthermore,  there  is  every  indication  that  'here 
will  be  suflficient  brick  made  to  provide  a  reserve  supply  for 
the  coming  winter  and  early  spring  of  1923. 

The  major  portion  of  the  Hudson  River  brick  industry  is 
located  in  three  well-defined  districts.     More  than  a  dozen  plants 


are  located  on  Haverstraw  Bay,  the  district  closest  to  New- 
York  City.  Next  comes  the  Newburgh  Bay  district,  which  in- 
cludes the  yards  located  at  New  Windsor  and  Roseton,  on  the 
west  bank,  and  Beacon  and  Dutchess  Junction,  on  the  east. 
The  third  of  the  districts  centers  around  Kingston.  These  dis- 
tricts are  linked  up  by  scattered  plants  on  both  sides  of  the 
Hudson  from  Montrose  to  Coeymans.  From  one  to  three  plants 
are  located  at  Catskill,  Hudson,  Stockport,  Athens,  Glasco,  etc., 
which  makes  the  industry  extend  in  an  almost  unbroken  line 
along  the  Hudson  River  for  a  distance  of  more  than  seventy- 
five  miles. 

Less  than  fifteen  years  ago  there  were  127  brick  plants  located 
on  the  Hudson  w-hich  contributed  their  product  to  the  upbuild- 
ing of  modern  New  York  and  its  suburbs.  Antiquated  pro- 
duction methods,  decreasing  demand  in  the  face  of  increasing 
manufacturing  costs,  and  other  factors  have  reduced  their 
present  number  to  sixty-two,  less  than  fifty  per  cent.  These 
plants  are  being  called  upon  to  supply  the  most  important  of 
the  basic  building  materials  for  the  construction  boom  now  in 
progress. 

There  is  little  doubt  of  their  ability  to  accomplish  this,  how- 
ever, as  the  surviving  plants  are  today  uniformly  better 
equipped  and  managed  than  the  average  during  the  most 
active  seasons  of  a  decade  or  so  ago,  and  because  the  maiority 
of  the  existing  plants  have  materially  increased  their  capacity. 
The  estimated  total  production  in  the  Hudson  River  Valley  this 
year  will  be  somewhere  near  one  billion  bricks,  almost  equal 
to  record  years  when  the  season's  output  was  roughly 
1,200,000,000. 

Generalities  are  interesting  at  times  but  they  cannot  be  de- 
pended upon  to  give  clear  picture  of  an  actual  condition.  In 
order  that  local  building  interests  might  know  more  definitely 
what  to  expect  in  the  way  of  a  future  supply  of  common  brick 
a  number  of  the  most  prominent  manufacturers  on  the  Hudson 
River  were  interviewed  by  a  representative  of  The  Record  and 
Guide  and  the  facts  and  figures  about  their  current  season's 
production  indicate  that  the  construction  fraternity  has  little 
need  for  continued  anxiety  as  to  an  adequate  supply  of  common 
brick. 

In  the  Haverstraw  district  manufacturers  are  all  operating 
at  a  higher  production  rate  than  a  year  ago.  The  plant  of  the 
Mallcy  Brick  Company  is  working  six  machines  and  will  in  all 
probability  turn  out  approximately  15.000,000  bricks  this  sea- 
son. The  maximum  possible  output  for  this  yard  is  about  18,- 
000,000  bricks,  but  this  figure  has  never  quite  been  reached. 
At  the  yard  of  the  DeNoyelles  Brick  Company,  which  is 
equipped  with  eleven  machines,  from  seven  to  nine  are  in  op- 
eration every  day.  This  plant  has  never  made  more  than  about 
20.000.000  bricks  in  any  season  and  this  year  the  output  will 
be  somewhere  near  that  figure.  The  owners  are  taking  clay  out 
of  their  banks  for  a  season's  output  of  18,000,000  to  20,000,000 
brick,  but  whether  this  total  is  reached  will  be  largely  depen- 
dent upon  the  fuel  supply  and  the  efficiency  of  the  yard  labor. 
At  any  rate  the  owners  anticipate  they  will  finish  this  season 
with  the  largest  output  (hey  have  had  during  any  of  the  past 
seven   years. 

The  Fowler  jilant.  with  seven  machines  and  a  maximum  ca- 
pacity of  15,000.000  brick,  is  operating  five  machines  and  expect 
to  turn  out  about  12,000,000  this  season.    The  plant  of  the  Excel- 


756 


RECORD    AND    GUIDE 


June  17,  1922 


sior  Brick  Company  has  seven  machines  and  is  running  five, 
which  will  give  an  output  of  about  12,000,000,  or  seventy-five  per 
cent,  of  its  maximum.  The  yard  of  E.  N.  Renn  will  turn  out 
about  10,000.000  brick  this  season  with  four  machines  operating. 
This  plant  is  equipped  with  six  machines  and  could  possibly  do 
more  if  pushed.  In  discussing  the  brick  making  situation  Mr. 
Renn  stated  that  in  his  estimation  the  Haverstraw  district  would 
finish  the  current  season  with  a  total  output  approximately 
fifty  per  cent,  above  the  average  for  the  post-war  years.' 

Morrissey  &  Company  expect  to  make  about  12,000,000  brick 
this  year,  which  will  be  equal  to  the  best  record  this  yard  has 
ever  made,  and  the  plants  of  George  Archer  which  combined 
are  operating  five  machines,  will  manufacture  close  to  the  record 
output  of  former  years.  Reports  from  the  Washburn,  Shankey 
and  other  yards  in  this  district  all  indicate  that  the  1922  season 
will  show  a  production  of  approximately  80  per  cent,  of  capacity 
or  better,  which  is  far  higher  than  has  been  done  during  the 
past  four  or  five  years. 

Conditions  in  the  Newburgh  Bay  District  are  very  similar  to 
those  prevailing  at  Haverstraw.  At  New  Windsor,  just  south 
of  Newburgh,  the  plant  of  Lahey  &  Geigenheimer,  equipped 
with  four  machines,  is  operating  three  on  full  time  and  antici- 
pates a  total  production  this  year  of  between  7,000,000  and  8,000,- 
000  of  brick.  This  yard  has  a  maximum  capacity  of  12,000,000 
per  year,  but  this  total  has  never  been  reached,  according  to 
its  superintendent.  The  largest  plant  in  the  Newburgh  Bay 
District  is  that  controlled  by  the  Roseton  Brick  Corporation, 
of  which  C.  C.  Bourne  is  president.  This  plant  is  equipped  with 
twenty-four  machines  and  fifteen  are  in  operation  at  present. 
The  yard  is  now  moulding  on  an  average  of  360,000  bricks  per 
day,  and  will  in  all  probability  make  approximately  40,000,000 
this  season,  as  compared  with  a  total  of  20,000,000  last  year.  Mr. 
Bourne  was  very  confident  that  the  Hudson  River  brick  manu- 
facturers would  produce  this  commodity  in  sufficient  volume 
to  supply  all  demands  and  provide  a  surplus  to  tide  over  the 
non-manufacturing  season. 

"There  are  very  decided  reservations  to  this  statement,  how 
ever,"  said  Mr.  Bourne,  "as  at  present  we  manufacturers  cannot 
foretell  what  our  fuel  supplies  will  be  nor  how  we  will  come 
out  with  our  labor.  Just  at  present  we  have  what  labor  we 
require,  but  it  is  inefficient  and  undependable  and  there  is 
considerable  unrest  as  to  wages.  We  have  been  forced  to 
pay  higher  wages  this  season  than  we  did  last  year.  Labor 
costs  all  along  the  river  are  heavier  than  they  were  one 
year  ago  and  we  don't  know  exactly  what  to  expect.  Two- 
thirds  of  the  labor  in  our  yards  is  colored  and  we  have  to 
send  South  for  the  workers  each  season  and  pay  their  rail- 
road expenses.  Even  then  we  do  not  know  what  we  are  get- 
ting or  how  long  these  workers  will  continue  with  us.  Brick 
manufacturers  have  a  great  many  difficulties  the  consumers 
know  little  or  nothing  about  and  it  is  therefore  not  surpris- 
ing that  we  proceed  as  carefully  as  possible  in  order  not  to 
make  fhis  industry  any  more   speculative  than  it   is  already." 

The  Roseton  Brick  Corporation  is  now  installing  a  modern 
automatic  brick-making  machine  with  steam  dryers  and  when 
this  is  completed  and  operating  the  production  of  the  plant 
will  be   increased  and  considerable  doubtful   labor   eliminated. 

The  plant  of  the  Jova  Brick  Works,  which  adjoins  that  of 
the  Roseton  Company,  is  admitted  to  be  the  most  modern  of 
those  located  along  the  river.  This  yard  is  operating  auto- 
matic machines  and  drying  the  newly-moulded  brick  in  steam 
chambers.  This  modern  equipment  makes  it  possible  for  the 
yard  to  operate  throughout  the  entire  year  if  desirable,  and 
there  is  every  likelihood  that  the  producing  season  will  be 
extended  to  ten  months  at  least  this  year.  This  plant  turns  out 
83,000  bricks  per  day  on  one  of  its  automatic  machines  and  will 
probably  manufacture  a  total  of  about  40,000.000  brick  this  year. 
This  is  considerably  better  than  its  record  for  last  year,  before 
the  installation  of  the  new  automatic  machines. 

The  yards  at  Beacon  and  Dutchess  Junction,  across  the  river 
from  Newburgh,  are  generally  a  reflection  of  the  intense  activ- 
ity which  prevails  elsewhere  in  the  district.  The  plants  of 
Martin  &  Shacket,  Nicholson  Bros.,  John  Ziegler  &  Co.,  Will- 
iam K.  Hammond,  and  others  are  all  making  brick  which  is  be- 


ing burned  and  shipped  as  fast  as  it  can  be  turned  out.  All 
of  the  producers  are  handicapped  by  various  labor  troubles  and 
the  scarcity  of  fuel  for  burning,  and  their  inability  to  obtain 
coal  dust,  which  is  essential  to  mix  with  the  clay  before  it  is 
moulded  and  burned. 

"There  was  no  justification  for  any  charges  that  we  brick- 
makers  were  deliberately  holding  back  production  in  order  to 
maintain  high  prices,"  said  William  K.  Hammond,  in  discussing 
the  outlook  for  the  brick-making  season.  "In  your  investiga- 
tion you  have  witnessed  the  extreme  activity  of  the  plants  on 
the  River.  You  know  what  the  manufacturers  have  been  forced 
to  contend  with  in  the  way  of  labor  troubles,  strikes  for  higher 
wages,  fuel  shortage  and  other  things  which  have  delayed  our 
season  and  added  greatly  to  our  production  costs.  How  can 
brick  be  sold  at  a  much  lower  figure  than  at  present. when  our 
costs  are  steadily  climbing  to  the  war-time  levels?  Whac  are 
we  going  to  do  for  fuel  when  the  little  we  Have  been  able  to 
obtain  is  used  up?  Is  the  demand  for  brick  going  to  drop 
off  and  leave  the  manufacturers  with  millions  of  new  bricks, 
made  under  staggering  costs,  which  we  will  be  obliged  to  hold 
over  until  next  year  and  then  sell  at  any  price  obtainable  in 
order  to  resume  manufacturing  operations?  The  brickmakers 
could  proceed  with  greater  confidence  and  ability  were  they 
given  some  indication  of  the  probable  rate  of  demand.  This 
seems  impossible,  but  we  have  been  in  the  past  forced  to  oper- 
ate our  yards  blindly,  without  knowledge  of  the  industry's  re- 
quirements, and  many  times  we  have  been  caught  with  large 
stocks  on  our  hands  and  no  demand.  This  has  been  one  of  the 
most  discouraging  features  of  the  brick-making  business  and 
in  a  large  measure  has  been  responsible  for  the  current  strin- 
gency in  the  supply  and  the  resultant  high  prices." 

Plants  in  the  Kingston  district,  as  well  as  those  north  at  Cats- 
kill,  Glasco,  Hudson,  Stockport,  Athens  and  Coeymans,  all  in- 
dicate the  same  activity  to  get  brick  made  and  marketed. 
Producers  are  speeding  operations  and  are  making  every 
possible  effort  to  get  new  brick  into  the  city  as  fast  as  they 
can  be  taken  from  the  kilns  and  loaded. 

It  is  apparent  manufacturers  along  the  river  realize  that 
changes  in  the  brick-making  industry  are  rapidly  coming  about. 
Not  much  longer  will  the  antiquated  production  methods  suf- 
fice. The  cost  is  too  heavy  and  the  hazard  too  great.  At  best 
brickmaking  is  a  speculative  industry,  as  producers  are  forced 
to  go  ahead  blindly,  guess  at  the  requirements  of  the  construc- 
tin  industry  and  its  capacity  to  absorb  the  season's  output,  or 
make  more  than  can  be  used  and  then  witness  a  glutted  market 
react  upon  prices  to  a  degree  that  in  many  seasons  has  turned 
an   estimated   profit   into   a   severe   financial   loss. 

There  is  now  quite  a  movement  under  way  to  make  brick 
according  to  more  up-to-date  production  methods.  Automatic 
moulding  machines  have  been  perfected  and  several  of  the 
yards  are  now  thus  equipped  and  others  about  to  install  'hem. 
Another  real  move  forward  has  been  the  introduction  of  steam 
dryers  for  the  preliminary  hardening  of  green  brick,  after  they 
are  moulded  and  before  they  are  placed  in  the  kiln  for  final 
burning.  These  machines  reduce  acreage  required  for  the 
plant,  materially  increase  production  on  a  given  acreage,  and 
reduce  labor  costs. 

One  of  the  most  important  results  of  the  trend  toward  in- 
stalling modern  machines  and  steam  dryers  is  that  brick  making 
can  proceed  in  almost  any  weather  and  practically  throughout 
the  year  if  desirable.  In  the  old-fashioned  type  of  open  and 
pallet  yards,  which  have  been  most  common  along  the  river, 
the  brick-making  season  was  limited  to  the  period  from  May 
to  October,  according  to  weather.  Operations  usually  started  as 
soon  as  the  frost  was  out  of  the  ground  in  spring  and  continued 
until  the  autumn  frosts  put  a  stop  to  activity.  Production  in 
these  open  yards  is  also  frequently  halted  during  the  season 
by  severe  storms  or  spells  of  rain  and  dampness,  which  prevent 
brick  from-  drying.  Open  and  pallet  yards  need  sun  as  the 
newly-moulded  brick  require  several  days  to  dry  sufficiently  to 
be  stacked  in  the  kilns.  On  the  other  hand,  in  dryer  yards  the 
brick  only  requires  about  ten  hours  to  run  through  the  steam 
chambers  and  thus  there  is  a  decided  saving  both  in  time  and 
yard  area  required.

The  plant  of  the  Jova  Brick  Works  at  Roseton,  in  the  New- 
burgh  Bay  district,  is  generally  recognized  as  the  most  modern 
of  any  along  the  river.  This  plant,  although  located  on  a  rela- 
tively small  acreage,  considering  the  number  of  machines  op- 
erating in  the  yard,  is  producing  a  large  output  of  brick.  The 
efficiency  of  this  plant  is  entirely  due  to  the  fact  that  the  owners 
have  installed  modern  brick-making  machines  of  the  automatic 
type  and  furthermore  have  equipped  their  plants  with  steam 
chambers  for  drying  the  newly-moulded  brick  before  it  is  placed 
in  the  kilns  for  the  actual  burning.  This  plant  is  equipped  with 
fourteen  brick-making  machines,  two  of  which  are  of  the  mod- 
ern automatic  type.  In  the  past  this  yard  had  a  maximum 
capacity,  when  running  with  the  old-fashioned  machines,  f 
about  35,000,000  brick  per  season,  but  now,  with  the  two  auto- 
matic machines,  this  plant  working  about  ten  months  a  year 
will  be  easily  capable  of  turning  out  at  least  40,000,000  brick  and 
possibly  more. 

One  of  these  automatic  brick-making  machines  is  the  regular 
stock  design,  moulding  six  bricks  at  a  time.  The  other,  newer 
in  design,  and  improved  by  Mr.  Jova,  moulds  nine  bricks  at  a 
time  at  the  rate  of  two  hundred  a  minute.  This  machine  has  a 
capacity  of  83,000  bricks  per  day,  a  gain  of  fifty  per  cent,  over 
the  old-style  automatic  machine.  From  the  automatic  mould- 
ing machines  the  brick  are  sent  on  gravity  conveyors  to  steam 
chambers  which  accommodate  about  27,500  bricks  each.  At 
the  regular  speed  this  machine  will  fill  about  three  chambers 
per  day.  One  of  the  important  factors  in  connection  with  the 
use  of  tlie  automatic  moulding  machines  and  steam  dryers  is 
the  reduction  in  labor  costs.  Mr.  Jova  estimates  that  the  sys- 
tem he  employs  effects  a  labor  saving  of  25  per  cent,  in  the  yard 
and  in  addition  he  is  able  to  eliminate  the  labor  turnover  caused 
by  seasonal  conditions. 

The  major  portion  of  the  brick-yard  labor  is  itinerant.  Ne- 
groes predominate,  although  there  are  some  Italians  and  a 
sprinkling  of  Poles  and  Slavs.  One  of  the  chief  difficulties  in 
operating  brick  plants  is  that  of  annually  getting  labor  which 
can  only  work  for  a  limited  season  and  then  is  cast  adrift  for 
the  remainder  of  the  year.  In  the  past  it  has  been  the  experi- 
ence of  many  brick  manufacturers  that  only  a  relatively  small 
percentage  of  their  workers  will  be  on  hand  for  the  opening  of 
a  new  season,  as  they  do  not  winter  in  the  localities  of  the 
yards,  since  there  is  not  work  to  be  had  during  the  months  the 
plants  are  idle  because  of  bad  weather  conditions. 

Plants  equipped  with  steam  dryers  can  operate  any  part  A 
or  throughout  the  year,  entirely  independent  of  weather  con- 
ditions, whereas  the  open  yards  must  have  clear  weather.  The 
old  plan  of  putting  thousands  of  dollars'  worth  of  newly- 
moulded  brick  out  in  the  yard  to  dry  and  then  pray  that  a 
thunder  shower  would  not  come  up  to  destroy  or  damage  the 
day's  output  is  both  expensive  and  inefficient.  The  demand  for 
washed  brick  has  never  been  urgent. 

Recently  there  has  been  much  discussion  about  high  brick 
prices.  Manufacturers  admit  that  prevailing  prices  are  inflated 
to  some  extent,  but  ask  what  are  they  able  to  do  about  it? 
During  the  recent  shortage  in  common  brick,  and  even  today 
when  the  supply  is  manifestly  better  than  it  was,  prices  are 
holding  firmly  to  their  levels  of  $20  a  thousand  alongside  dock. 
It  is  the  law  of  supply  and  demand,  beyond  the  control  of  the 
producers,  which  is  responsible  for  the  current  market  stiff- 
ness. Then  again,  only  a  relatively  small  part  of  the  brick  now 
coming  into  the  city  is  being  sold  at  $20  a  thousand.  Many  of 
the  leading  producers  are  still  making  brick  for  which  they 
know  they  cannot  get  more  than  $15  a  thousand,  as  they  are 
committed  on  contracts  which  they  made  several  months  ago 
at  this  price.  It  is  only  the  brick  which  is  coming  into  an  open 
market,  with  practically  all  dealers  .waiting  its  arrival  and  com- 
peting for  its  purchase,  that  is  bringing  the  higher  prices. 

.Although  it  is  probable  that  common  brick  prices  will  decline 
to  some  extent  after  the  present  buying  rush  is  over,  it  is  ex- 
tremely milikely  that  they  will  suffer  a  real  slump  for  a  long 
time  to  come.  The  brick  market  will  become  stabilized  after 
the  new  supplies  are  more  regular  and  in  greater  volume  and 
the  most  urgent  demands  of  the  industry  are  satisfied.  The 
new  level  will  probably  be  lower  than  that  prevailing  at  pres- 


ent, but  will  not  drop  to  the  extent  that  many  New  York  City 
builders  are  hoping  for.  The  prices  common  brick  will  bring  in 
the  future  must  be  consistent  with  1922  manufacturing  costs, 
which  are  considerably  higher  than  they  were  one  year  ago. 
There  is  not  a  manufacturer  along  the  Hudson  River  who  is 
not  burdened  with  heavier  costs  this  season  than  last  year  and 
there  will  be  no  possibility  for  greatly  lowered  prices  while 
present  conditions   continue. 

At  present  the  Hudson  River  yards  &re  full  of  green  brick. 
Manufacturers  cannot  burn  them  fast  enough.  In  order  to 
catch  up  with  the  demand  from  the  Metropolitan  District  the 
producers  have  been  forced  to  burn  unusually  small  kilns  and 
ship  the  brick  before  the  newly-burned  product  has  had  suffi- 
cient time  to  cool  properly.  This  is  costly  from  a  manufacturing 
standpoint,  particularly  when  fuel  is  scarce.  Usually  a  kiln  of 
brick  will  consist  of  twenty  arches  of  50,000  brick  to  the  arch, 
making  a  total  of  about  1,000,000  burned  in  each  kiln  fired. 
During  the  early  weeks  of  the  current  season  the  demand  was 
so  great  and  the  manufacturers  so  desirous  of  relieving  the 
shortage  which  was  causing  construction  delays  in  the  city  that 
they  fired  their  brick  practically  as  fast  as  they  were  able  to 
mould  it,  in  relatively  small  kilns,  some  of  which  contained  not 
more  than  350,000  to  500,000  bricks. 

The  writer  was  in  one  yard  at  Kingston  where  a  kiln  of  brick, 
the  fires  of  which  were  drawn  on  Sunday,  June  4,  was  loaded 
on  the  barge  the  following  Friday  and  scheduled  to  arrive  at 
the  New  York  dock  the  next  Sunday.  Speed  to  this  extent 
in  taking  down  a  kiln,  loading  and  shipping,  is  costly  and  in- 
efficient. Under  ordinary  conditions  a  kiln  of  brick  requires 
as  much  time  to  cool  as  it  did  to  burn.  This  will  average  six 
days.  There  have  been  many  instances  during  the  past  few 
weeks,  however,  when  the  newly-burned  kilas  have  been  taken 
down  so  soon  after  the  burning  process  is  completed  that  the 
brick-yard  laborers,  whose  hands  are  thoroughly  hardened  and 
calloused,  were  unable  to  remove  the  brick  from  the  kilns  and 
load  it  on  the  barges  even  when  protected  by  gloves.  The 
men  refused  to  work  under  these  conditions,  as  there  is  a  real 
hazard  involved. 

Removing  brick  from  the  kilns  before  it  has  had  time  to  cool 
off  properly  is  not  only  dangerous  to  the  men  but  it  is  costly 
to  the  manufacturers.  The  hot  brick,  if  exposed  to  the  air  too 
soon  after  it  has  been  fired,  is  subject  to  checking  which  makes 
it  unfit  to  be  classified  as  a  first  grade  product. 

Since  the  opening  of  the  current  season  brick  manufacturers 
have  been  confronted  with  a  series  of  serious  problems,  all  of 
which  have  contributed  to  delays  in  production  and  increased 
manufacturing  costs.  Flooded  yards  early  last  spring  held  back 
manufacturing  operations  from  four  days  to  a  week  and,  fur- 
thermore, prevented  the  shipment  of  brick  held  over  from  last 
year  because  it  was  impossible  for  the  barges  to  come  alongside 
the  manufacturers'  docks.  The  difficulties  in  obtaining  fuel 
were  also  serious  retardants.  Brick  makers  require  coal  and 
wood  for  burning  the  brick,  coal  for  steam  in  operating  iheir 
machines  and  coal  dust  for  mixing  with  the  clay,  which  assists 
materially  in  the  burning  process.  Labor  problems  have  also 
been  more  than  ordinarily  acute,  with  the  average  yard  laborer 
inefficient,  independent  and  difficult  to  manage  and  furthermore 
demanding  wages  in  excess  of  his  actual  worth.  All  along  the 
river  wages  of  yard  laborers  are  at  least  fifty  cents  per  day 
higher  this  season  than  a  year  ago  and  there  is  no  assurance 
that  the  end  of  the  demand  for  higher  rates  has  been  reached. 
.At  present  one  of  the  plants  at  Glasco  is  not  in  operation  be- 
cause the  men  have  walked  out  on  strike  and  all  manufacturers 
complain  of  the  unrest   and   inefficiency  among  their  workers. 

With  all  of  these  factors  combining  against  them,  the  manu- 
facturers still  are  willing  to  assure  the  industry  that  common 
brick  will  be  available  for  all  demands.  The  brick  will  be  made 
and  shipped  as  rapidly  as  is  consistent  with  efficient  produc-  ' 
tion,  and  all  the  manufacturers  ask  is  that  the  industry  be 
patient  until  the  producers  have  had  time  to  work  up  their 
production  to  the  maximum  speed  and  then  build  with  this 
product  at  a  rate  that  will  keep  consumption  in  reasonable  rela- 
tion to  production,  so  that  those  who  make  this  important 
material  may  not  suft'er  loss  through  over-production.

Weekly  Building  Figures  Show  Slight  Drop  in  Local  Activity 

Architects   and   Engineers   Slowing   Down    With    Plans    for    New    Operations 
According  to  Statistics  Tabulated  by  F.  W.  Dodge  Company 


COXSTRUCTIOX  statistics  for  the  twenty-third  week  of 
this  year  show  a  slight  decline  when  compared  with  the 
two  or  three  weeks  immediately  preceding,  particularly  as 
they  apply  to  local  building  activity.  The  serious  shortage  in 
certain  materials  is  no  doubt  responsible  for  the  drop  in  re- 
cent commitments  but  as  the  situation  is  now  greatly  improved 
and  supplies  are  available  for  all  needs  there  will  undoubted- 
ly be  an  increase  in  commitments  reported  for  the  current 
week. 

According  to  statistics  compiled  b?'  the  F.  W.  Dodge  Com- 
pany, for  the  territory  including  all  of  New  York  State  and 
New  Jersey,  north  of  Trenton,  architects  and  engineers  reported 
work  on  plans  for  612  new  structural  projects  during  the  week 
of  June  3  to  9,  inclusive.  This  will  require  a  total  expenditure 
of  $17,128,200.  During  the  same  period  announcements  were 
made  of  the  award  of  429  contracts  which  represented  a  total 
value  of  about  $16,438,500. 

During  the  week  of  June  3  to  9  building  activity  in  New  York 
City  was  confined  to  plans  in  progress  for  159  new  buildings  and 
engineering  operations  which  will  involve  an  outlay  of  $7,885,- 


600  and  124  contracts  awarded  at  an  estimated  total  valuation 
of  ,$6,386,700. 

The  list  of  124  projects  reported  as  planning  in  New  York 
City  was  composed  of  the  following  groups  :  41  business  proj- 
ects such  as  stores,  offices,  lofts,  commercial  garages,  etc., 
$2,352,000;  4  educational  buildings,  $205,500;  3  factory  and  indus- 
trial structures,  $29,000;  1  public  building,  $5,000;  8  public  works 
and  public  utilities,  $194,600;  6  religious  and  memorial  projects, 
$270,000;  194  residential  operations  including  apartments,  flats 
and  tenements  and  one-  and  two-family  dwellings,  $4,659,500 
and  2  social  and  recreational  buildings,  $170,000. 

.\mong  the  New  York  City  operations  for  which  contracts 
were  awarded  during  the  twenty-third  week  of  this  year  were 
n  commercial  projects  of  various  types,  $2,473,500;  1  educational 
building,  $5,000;  1  hospital,  $2,000;  4  industrial  projects  such  as

,SlaK--Concrete  Highway  IMileagre 

.4cording  to  a  report  issued  in  January, 
1922.  by  the  National  Slag  Association, 
there  arc  in  service  in  the  United  States 
132  sections  of  slag-concrete  highway, 
totaling  212.6.')  miles  in  length,  with  an 
area  of  2.392,899  sq.  yd.  The  largest 
amount  of  construction  of  this  type  has 
been  performed  in  Ohio,  whore  44  sections 
of  slag-concrete  highway,  with  a  length 
of  91.87  miles  and  an  area  of  760,312  sq. 
yd.    are    in    service. 


fostering    Better    Construction 

As  a  part  of  a  nation-wide  campaign 
designed  to  foster  the  use  of  more  per- 
manent materials  in  building,  the  Copper 
and  Brass  Research  Association  has  an- 
nounced a  contest  for  school  children  and 
others,  offering  cash  prizes  for  the  best 
photographs  showing  the  relative  dura- 
bility of  materials  which  go  into  the  con- 
struction of  American  homes. 

Some  idea  of  the  cost  to  this  country 
of  the  practice  of  building  for  speculative 
profit  rather  than  for  use  is  evidenced  by 
the  result  of  a  statistical  study  just  com- 
pleted by  the  Copper  and  Brass  Associa- 
tion. The  fire  loss  on  the  21,000.000 
Anierican  homes,  insured  as  they  are  for 
a  total  of  $91,700,000,000,  is  about  $3,5.- 
000.000  a  year,  based  on  figures  for  1918 
to  1920,  inclusive.  The  rust  bill,  cover- 
ing the  renewal  of  sheet  metal  work, 
principally  leaders  and  gutters,  plumbing

times  that   sum. 

The  effort  to  show  the  public  the  waste- 
fulness of  the  use  of  materials  which 
need  early  and  frequent  replacement,  is 
a  part  of  the  present  intensive  campaign 
of  the  Copper  and  Brass  Companies  of 
the  country  to  increase  the  use  of  those 
metals  in  domestic  consumption.  The 
photographic  contest  is  a  part  of  that 
campaign. 

Fourteen  prizes  ranging  from  $150  to 
$10  will  be  awarded  for  photographs  of 
copper  and  brass  objects  of  utility  or 
ornament.ation  which  to  qualify  must 
have  been  in  use  more  than  35  years, 
Included  are  copper  roofs,  brass  door 
knockers,  old  copper  cooking  utensils, 
brass  plumbing  pipe.  Fourteen  additional 
prizes  of  similar  amounts  are  offered  for 
the  best  photographs  showing  the  results

CURRENT    BUILDING    OPERATIONS 


LOCAL  building  conditions  are  greatly 
improved  as  compared  with  those  of  a 
few  weel<s  ago  when  the  common  bricl? 
shortage  was  holding  back  considerable 
construction  and  other  difficulties  clouded 
the  outlook  for  an  active  season.  At 
present  the  atmosphere  is  cleared,  sup- 
plies are  adequate  for  all  demands  and 
labor  affairs  are  slowly  straightening  out. 

According  to  all  accounts  the  recent 
general  advance  in  building  material 
prices  seems  to  have  halted.  During  the 
past  week  prices  have  become  stabilized 
to  a  great  extent  and  although  levels  are 
somewhat  higher  than  they  were  early 
this  spring  the  impression  is  general  that 
the  peak  of  the  raise  has  been  reached. 
Although  there  is  every  likelihood  that 
prevailing  levels  will  continue  for  some 
time  building  interests  anticipate  a 
gradual  drop  as  the  demand  slacks  off 
toward  autumn. 

Common  Brick — During  tlie  past  week 
activity  in  the  New  York  wholesale  mar- 
ket for  Hudson  River  common  brick  set- 
tled into  the  usual  raid-season  routine, 
with  brick  selling  as  fast  as  it  comes  in. 
The  demand  is  still  as  keen  as  it  has 
been  for  the  past  month  or  six  weeks,  but 
larger  supplies  are  now  available  and 
practically  no  work  is  either  halted  or 
even  delayed  because  of  inability  to  se- 
cure common  brick.  All  doubts  as  to  the 
ability  of  the  producers  to  supply  this 
commodity  to  the  fulfillment  of  all  re- 
quirements in  the  Metropolitan  district 
have  now  been  dispelled  as  the  builders 
now  realize  that  the  manufacturers  are 
exerting  their  utmost  effort  to  satisfy  the 
demand.  Prices  are  holding  very  firmly 
to  the  $20  a  thousand  level  and  there  is 
little  probability  of  a  recession  while 
keen  competition  continues  for  every 
cargo  offered  for  sale  in  the  market.  Brick 
makers  would  feel  far  better  about  the 
future  if  they  were  able  to  get  all  of  the 
fuel  they  require  and  not  pay  such  ex- 
cessively high  prices  for  it.  The  speed.v 
settlement  of  the  coal  strike  would  be  of 
inestimable  benefit  to  the  brick-making 
industry  at  this  time. 

Summary — Transactions  in  the  North 
River  brick  market  for  the  week  ending- 
Thursday.  June  15,  1922.  Condition  of 
market:  Demand  keen;  prices  firm  and  un- 
changed. Quotations:  Hudson  Rivers,  .$20 
a  thousand  to  dealers  in  cargo  lots  along- 
side dock.  Number  of  cargoes  arrived, 
55;  sales.  55.  Distribution:  Manhattan,  IS; 
Bronx,  5;  Brooklyn,  21;  New  Jersey 
points,  7;  Astoria.   3;  Flushing,  1. 

Lumber — The  demand  for  lumber  pro- 
ducts    is    steadily    growing    in     intensity 


and  according  to  reliable  statistics  the 
mills  now  have  on  their  books  the  great- 
est accumulation  of  unfilled  orders  the 
industry  has  known  during  the  past  four 
years.  Wholesale  lumber  prices  have 
been  advancing  steadily  for  the  past  four 
or  five  weeks  with  the  upward  trend  par- 
ticularly noticeable  in  soft  woods.  Dur- 
ing the  past  week,  however,  the  market 
has  become  stabilized  to  some  extent  and 
prices  have  held  firm,  but  there  is  no  in- 
dication of  lower  levels  for  some  time  to 
come,  at  least  not  while  the  unfilled 
orders    are    as    heavy    as    at   present. 


Str«.ctural  Steel — Although  actual  book- 
ings have  been  light  since  the  first  of 
June  there  are  numerous  interesting 
projects  in  sight  which  are  likely  to  be 
released  within  a  week  or  so.  This  work 
involves  both  commercial  and  residential 
building  projects  in  New  York  City  and 
the  total  tontiage  "will  amount  to  an  im- 
portant figure.  Local  contractors  are 
generally  pleased  with  both  the  current 
business  and  the  outlook  for  the  re- 
mainder of  the  year.  The  heavy  recent 
demand  has  slowed  do^wn  mill  shipments 
to  some  extent.

MATERIALS    AND    SUPPLIES 


Oast  Iron  IMpe — Manufacturers  of  oast 
iron  pipe  are  well  satisfied  with  the  de- 
mand, although  the  current  buying  is 
largely  confined  to  private  interests 
rather  than  municipal  orders.  Several 
important  public  jobs  are  shortly  to  be 
released  for  bids  and  the  bookings  for 
this  tonnage  will  add  materially  to  the 
activity  of  the  plants  which  are  now 
practically  all  working  on  full  time.  As 
a  rule  the  large  Eastern  plants  are 
booked  ahead  for  several  months  and  the 
producers  complain  somewhat  of  their 
inability     to     obtain     the     right     kind     of 


skilled  labor.  Prices  are  firm  and  un- 
changed with  New  York  quotations  as 
follows:  6  in.  and  larger,  $50.80  per  net 
ton:  4  in.  and  5  in.,  $55.50;  3  in.,  $65.80. 
with  $4  per  ton  extra  for  Class  A  and 
gas   pipe. 

Electrical  Suit|ilies  —  Practically  no 
change  of  conditions  has  been  reported  in 
the  electrical  trade  during  the  past  week. 
Demand  is  quite  brisk  and  the  majority 
of  the  jobbers  in  the  city  are  inclined  to 
feel  that  business  will  continue  at  its 
present  rate  for  several  months  to  come 
as    the   great   volume   of   active    construe-

tion  will  keep  the  industry  hustling  to 
keep  abreast  of  the  requirements.  Prices 
are  well  sustained  in  the  electrical  trade 
and  wire  prices  are  somewhat  stiffer  than 
they  were  due  to  the  increased  cost  of 
copper.  Stocks  are  generally  in  good 
sliape  and  deliveries  from  manufacturers 
iire    prompt. 

Builders*  Hardnvare — Business  is  excel- 
lent and  retailers  report  splendid  skies  in 
suburban  districts  where  a  large  amount 
of  small  house  building  is  in  progress. 
Tlie  general  trade  situation  is  very  en- 
couraging, with  practically  all  of  the 
local  jobbers  enjoying  an  active  demand 
and  manufacturers  operating  their  plants 
at  capacity  production.  Prices  are  very 
firm  and  slight  increases  are  anticipated 
due  to  the  growing  anxiety  about  the 
fuel  situation  and  the  increasing  prices 
of  metals. 

Xails — Demand  for  nails  is  fairly  brisk 
and  the  outlook  for  the  dealers  is  prom- 
ising. Building  activity  is  now  at  the 
season's  height  and  daily  reports  show 
excellent  progress  on  new  work.  The 
plans  in  progress  indicate  a  large  volume 
of  new  construction  to  be  released  in  the 
near  future  and  although  there  are 
marked  signs  of  an  abatement  of  specu- 
lative construction  from  its  prevailing 
intensity  there  is  every  likelihood  that 
other  projects  will  soon  be  started  to 
more  than  make  up  for  any  decline  in  the 
volume  of  speculative  operations.  Prices 
are    steady    and    unchanged. 

Roofing  and  Building  Papers — During 
the  past  few  weeks  the  demand  for  these 
materials  have  been  steadily  increasing 
due  to  the  large  amount  of  new  suburban 
construction.  Prospects  for  a  continua- 
tion of  activity  in  this  line  are  excellent. 
Stocks  are  adequate  and  prices  are  very 
firm,  but  no  advances  are  anticipated  at 
the   present   time. 

Window  Glass — The  tone  of  the  market 
is  quite  satisfactory  witli  demand  show- 
ing signs  of  improving  as  a  result  of  the 
rapid  progress  being  made  on  local  build- 
ing operations  which  were  started  early 
this  spring.  Stocks  are  well  assorted  and 
Jobbers  are  in  a  position  to  fill  all  orders 
promptly.    Prices  are  firm  and  unchanged. 

Linseed  Oil — The  market  is  rather  slack 
at  present  and  the  recent  increase  in 
buying  seems  to  have  been  only  a  tem- 
porary spurt.  Prices  are  somewhat  easier 
than  they  have  been  and  the  trade  opinion 
is  that  a  firmer  tone  will  only  come  about 
through  increased  demand.  Local  stocks 
are  fair  and  Jobbers  are  in  a  position  to 
handle  all  business  in  prospect  without 
difficulty.

Edison  Service— Again! 


Another  large  office  and  showroom  building 
which  will  use  Edison  Service  is  under  construction 
at  the  southeast  corner  of  Broadway  and  Thirty- 
Seventh  Street.  Arrangements  for  the  electrical 
supply  were  made  before  the  excavating  started. 
The  owners  knew  Edison  Service  and  chose  it 

The  site  covers  14,000  square  feet  and  the  build- 
ing will  be  16  stories  high.  It  was  planned  by 
Summerfield  &  Steckler;  Owner,  Broadway  &  37th 
Street  Corporation;  and  the  electrical  installation 
will  be  made  by  Harry  Alexander 

There  will  be  an  installation  of  5000  lamps  and 
420  horsepower;  seven  elevators  will  require  230 
horsepower  for  operation,  the  balance  of  the  power 
being  used  for  various  pumps  and  the  operation  of 
machinery,  a  portion  of  the  building  having  been 
planned  for  the  occupancy  of  manufacturing 
concerns 

If  you  desire  a  cost  study  of  your  electric  light  and 
power  problem,  our  engineers  will  gladly  aid  you. 
There  will  of  course  be  no  obligation  on  your  part    ■

An  Experiment  That  Will  Be  Tried  Out 

Officials  of  the  Metropolitan  Life  Insurance  Company 
have  become  convinced  that  homes  to  rent  for  $9  per  room 
per  month  can  be  buik  successfully  here  in  New  York  City 
and  have  announced  their  intention  to  demonstrate  it.  From 
the  moment  it  was  first  suggested  that  apartments  at  such 
low  rentals  were  possible  of  construction  under  present 
conditions  there  has  been  much  skepticism  about  it.  Many 
legitimate  builders  have  pointed  to  the  high  cost  and  ineffi- 
ciency of  labor  and  to  the  existing  conditions  in  the  mate- 
rials market  as  reasons  why  housing  for  such  low  rentals 
could  not  be  constructed  successfully  during  the  current 
year.  Frankly,  few  of  thern  have  been  willing  to  even 
consider  such  an  undertaking  themselves,  and  many  of  them 
have  doubted  all  along  that  any  well-managed  lending  insti- 
tution, especially  one  so  ably  officered  as  the  Metropolitan 
Life,  would  make  the  attempt  and  assume  the  risks  involved. 

When  the  plan  to  permit  life  insurance  companies  to  in- 
vest ten  per  cent,  of  their  assets  in  such  cheap  housing 
was  before  the  Legislature  last  winter  it  was  not  taken 
seriously  in  most  quarters,  and  Governor  Miller,  while  per- 
mitting the  measure  to  become  law  through  his  signature, 
indicated  that  he  regarded  the  plan  merely  as  experimental 
and  had  little  hope  that  it  would  prove  an  important  factor 
in  the  housing  situation.  The  Governor's  view  has  been 
widely  shared, — so  generally  accepted  in  fact  as  to  make  the 
Metropolitan's  announcement  of  definite  action  under  the 
new  law  come  as  a  genuine  surprise  to  most  students  of  the 
situation. 

Is  it  possible  to  build  apartments  to  rent  at  $9  per  room? 
Where  is  accessible  land  cheap  enough  for  such  an  under- 
taking? What  sort  of  buildings  can  be  erected  to  come 
within  the  circumscribed  outlay?  What  modern  conven- 
iences can  the  $9-a-room  tenants  have?  Can  the  buildings 
be  made  attractive?  What  about  light  and  air  and  shrub- 
bery and  grass  plots,  steam  heat,  hot  water,  safety  from  fire, 
and  other  desirable  features  so  sadly  lacking  in  the  low- 
priced  housing  accommodations  New  Yorkers  have  known 
heretofore? 

These  and  other  pertinent  questions  are  answered  in  the 
statement  which  the  Metropolitan's  architects,  Messrs.  An- 
drew J.  Thomas  and  D.  Everett  Waid,  have  prepared,  and 
which  The  Record  and  Guide  publishes  on  another  page 
of  this  issue.  These  experienced  architects  have  studied 
their  problem  exhaustively,  and  the  Metropolitan  officials 
have  decided  to  spend  upwards  of  seven  million  dollars  on 
the  initial  projects.  Land  has  been  bought,  the  contract 
for  construction  has  been  awarded,  and  the  stage  is  set  for 
the  experiment. 

If  this  project  proves  successful  it  seems  bound  to  have, 
as  the  architects  predict,  a  revolutionary  efifect  on  city 
housing  and  even  on  city  life.  Not  only  will  the  tenants  of 
the  new  apartments  be  the  gainers  financially  and  in  com- 
fort, health  and  happiness,  but  the  "how"  of  doing  it  will 
be  revealed  to  other  builders  and  to  other  lending  institu- 
tions whose  co-operation  is  requisite. 

It  is  a  very  interesting  experiment  which  the- Metropolitan 


officials  have  launched,  and  the  progress  of  the  enterprise 
is  bound  to  be  followed  with  keenest  interest. 


Doubts  About  Brick  Supply  Removed 

Facts  and  figures  relative  to  the  brick-making  industry 
in  the  Hudson  River  Valley,  which  were  published  in  The 
Record  and  Guide  last  week,  promise  a  steady  and  consis- 
tent supply  of  this  important  basic  material  through  the 
remainder  of  the  current  building  season.  Brick  producers, 
realizing  that  the  prospects  for  the  greatest  building  move- 
ment in  the  history  of  the  industry  in  the  Metropolitan 
District  were  endangered  because  of  the  grave  scarcity  of 
common  brick,  in  the  face  of  a  series  of  discouraging  ob- 
stacles have  succeeded  in  speeding  production  in  their  plants 
to  a  degree  that  has  brought  new  brick  into  the  market  much 
earlier  in  the  season  than  the  average  for  many  years  past. 
The  efforts  now  being  made  by  the  manufacturers  to  make, 
l)urn  and  ship  their  product  is  an  assurance  that  local  con- 
struction operations  will  not  be  further  retarded  because  of 
a  lack  of  brick. 

No  doubt  now  exists  as  to  the  ability  of  the  Hudson 
River  brick  manufacturers  to  adequately  supply  all  cur- 
rent demands.  The  prevaihng  rate  of  activity  along  the 
river  practically  guarantees  a  reserve  for  an  emergency, 
as  well  as  for  the  non-producing  winter  season.  The  scar- 
city, so  acute  a  few  weeks  ago,  is  now  greatly  relieved  and 
each  day  witnesses  the  arrival  of  additional  cargoes  from 
production  points  which  are  immediately  being  distributed 
to  centers  where  the  demand  is  keenest.  The  crisis  in  the 
common  brick  supply  is  past.  No  active  operations  are 
now  retarded  because  brick  is  not  available,  and  during  the 
past  week  or  ten  days  a  large  amount  of  projected  construc- 
tion, which  had  been  in  temporary  abeyance  because  of  the 
shortage,  has  been  started  and  its  future  progress,  as  far 
as  the  brick  supply  is  concerned,  is  assured.  Dealers  in 
masons'  materials  now  concede  that  they  are  in  a  position 
to  supply  immediate  requirements  without  costly  delays, 
and  their  attitude  regarding  future  supplies  is  generally 
optimistic. 

Manufacturers  of  common  brick  have  not  been  able  to 
relieve  the  shortage  in  this  commodity,  however,  without 
cost  to  themselves  both  in  extra  energy  and  effort  and 
mounting  production  costs.  In  order  to  speed  up  produc- 
tion so  as  to  get  common  brick  into  the  Metropolitan  Dis- 
trict earlier  this  season  than  ever  before  they  have  been 
forced  to  operate  their  plants  at  top  speed  and  by  so  doing 
have  had  to  pay  premium  prices  for  both  labor  and  fuel. 

Although  there  has  been  some  adverse  comment  in  the 
industry  because  of  the  prevailing  high  level  of  common 
brick  prices,  there  is  now  little  prospect  that  these  levels  can 
recede  for  some  time  to  come.  Labor  all  along  the  river 
is  higher  at  present  than  it  was  at  any  time  last  season  and 
fuel  costs  are  now  considerably  greater  than  at  their  war- 
time peaks.  LTnder  these  conditions  the  brick  manufac- 
turers are  doing  their  utmost  to  meet  the  common  brick 
requirements  of  the  construction  industry.  The  producers, 
promise  brick  supplies  and  reserves  to  the  limit  of   their

manufacturing  capacity,  and,  unless  retarded  by  increasing 
labor  difficulties  and  absolute  inability  to  secure  the  neces- 
sary fuel,  there  is  now  no  doubt  as  to  the  fulfillment  of 
these  promises. 


Loophole  in  the  Strike  Vote 

There  is  quite  a  difference  between  voting  to  strike  or 
voting  power  to  union  officials  to  call  a  strike,  and  in  this 
development  of  the  situation  now  confronting  the  business 
world  lies  a  considerable  degree  of  safety  for  both  the 
railroad  workers  and  the  general  public.  Leaders  of  the 
men  affected  by  the  recent  cuts  announced  by  the  Railroad 
Labor  Board  are  clamorously  announcing  that  a  strike  is 
inevitable,  but  at  the  convention  of  the  American  Federation 
of  Labor,  being  held  in  Cincinnati,  several  declarations  of 
an  impending  strike  received  only  half-hearted  applause, 
indicating  a  realization  of  lack  of  public  sympathy  with  the 
effort  to  retain  war  wages  when  the  feeling  is  general  that 
the  good  of  the  whole  community,  including  the  welfare 
of  railroad  workers  and  their  families,  depends  largely  on 
a  cut  in  the  railroad  payrolls. 

The  truth  is  that  the  country  can  ill  afford  to  have  busi- 
ness, now  happily  on  the  point  of  recovery,  upset  and  a  new 
period  of  depression  insured  by  the  inauguration  of  a  strike 
by  certain  unions  which  would  seriously  impede  the  rail- 
roads in  handling  shipments  of  freight  now  so  necessary  to 
the  reconstruction  of  commerce  throughout  the  country. 
Railroad  men  as  a  body,  by  reason  of  their  vocation  itself, 
are  brought  into  contact  with  many  people  and  are  able  to 
gauge  public  opinion  more  accurately  than  those  tied  down 


to  one  location.  Undoubtedly  they  are  cognizant  of  the 
impatience  of  the  people  generally  with  any  suggestion  for 
the  tying-up  of  the  main  arteries  of  trade  at  this  particular 
moment  and  of  the  widespread  determination  to  thwart 
any  body  of  men  in  any  effort  they  may  make  to  profit  at 
the  expense  of  the  nation  generally. 

Giving  the  union  officials  power  to  call  a  strike  imder 
certain  contingencies  is  a  strategtic  move  for  trading  pur- 
poses and  may  be  justifiable  as  such.  But  certain  defeat 
would  follow  the  calling  of  a  strike  at  this  time,  because 
the  country  is  not  in  a  mood  to  tolerate  this  reception  of 
the  decisions  of  the  Railroad  Labor  Board  as  to  wages,  to 
which  board  the  unions  agreed  to  present  their  claims  and 
by  the  arbitrament  of  which  they  promised  to  abide.  The 
rejection  by  unions  of  the  findings  of  arbitration  because 
these  are  not  wholly  in  their  favor  makes  more  urgent  the 
demand  for  the  open  shop,  a  consideration  the  unions  will 
do  well  to  bear  in  mind  before  deciding  upon  walking  out 
on  July  1.  The  maneuvre  to  empower  their  officials  with 
the  right  to  call  a  strike,  instead  of  retaining  the  making 
of  the  decision  by  the  rank  and  file  of  the  workmen,  has 
been  employed  before.  Quite  often  when  this  course  has 
been  resorted  to  a  strike  has  been  averted  because  the  union 
officials  are  averse  to  ordering  a  strike  which  they  feel  can- 
not be  successful.  There  never  has  been  a  time  more  un- 
propitious  than  now  for  the  use  by  unions  of  this  weapon 
of  warfare  against  employers  especially  and  the  people 
generally.  By  delegating  the  power  to  strike  to  their  offi- 
cials instead  of  exercising  it  themselves  the  men  apparently 
recognize  that  public  opinion  does  not  support  their  stand 
and  have  opened  the  way  to  compromise  or  backdown. 


President  Edwards  of  Realty  Board  Describes  San  Francisco  Convention 


AT  the  fifteenth  annual  convention  of  the  National  Associa- 
tion of  Real  Estate  Boards  held  in  San  Francisco,  Cal., 
during  the  week  ending  June  3,  Charles  G.  Edwards, 
President  of  the  Real  Estate  Board  of  New  York,  was  elected  a 
director  of  the  Association  for  a  term  of  three  years.  His  address 
on  "The  Results  of  Zoning  in  New  York  City"  was  looked  upon  as 
a  valuable  contribution  to  a  subject- that  is  now  engaging  the  atten- 
tion of  many  municipalities  throughout  the  country  that  have  not 
yet  adopted  a  zoning  system.  Real  estate  men  from  large  cities 
throughout  the  country,  who  attended  the  convention,  were  much 
interested  in  it.  Accompanying  Mr.  Edwards,  from  the  New  York 
Board,  were  J.  Irving  ^^'alsh,  treasurer,  and  Richard  O.  Chittick, 
executive  secretary. 

After  his  return  last  Saturday  Mr.  Edwards  declared  the  con- 
vention had  been  most  successful.     He  said : 

"The  Annual  Convention  of  the  National  Association  of  Real 
Estate  Boards  held  in  San  Francisco,  California,  the  first  week 
in  June  was  beyond  doubt  the  most  successful  convention  that  has 
ever  been  held  by  the  National  Association.  The  business-like 
attitude  which  prevailed  throughout  the  sessions  impressed  one 
with  the  importance  of  Real  Estate  as  a  profession  and  the  necessity 
for  acquiring  all  the  knowledge  obtainable  to  further  promote  the 
best  interests  of  the  real  estate  broker  throughout  the  United  States. 
Many  persons  of  national  and  local  prominence  addressed  the 
meetings,  but  the  one  outstanding  feature  seems  to  have  been  the 
sub-division  of  the  various  subjects  of  the  utmost  importance  of 
'Realtors  into  separate  conferences,  each  one  of  which  was  in  charge 
of  a  Regional  Vice-President  and  addressed  on  these  important 
topics  by  men  from  all  parts  of  the  country — specialists  in  their 
line  of  endeavor.  Too  much  importance  cannot  be  attached  to  the 
National  Association  if  its  attitude  on  co-ordination  of  not  only 
real  estate  boards  but  all  real  estate  men  in  general  can  only  be 
efifected.  Little  or  no  attention  has  been  paid  in  the  past  to  legisla- 
tion of  a  Federal  character  enacted  almost  daily  through  the  sessions 
of    Congress    and    so    vitally    affecting    the    interests    of    property 


owners,  and  it  is  only  through  such  an  organization  as  the  National 
Association  that  concerted  effort  can  be  made  in  times  to  come  to 
secure  remedial  legislation  and  to  combat  such  laws  as  may  be  sug- 
gested which  tend  to  pull  down  the  contractual  rights  of  citizens 
or  tend  to  destroy  that  basis  of  all  wealth,  real  estate. 

"The  National  Association  has  spent  many  years  in  perfecting  an 
organization  and  in  securing  to  its  membership  as  many  local  boards 
as  it  was  possible  through  its  instrumentality  to  organize  throughout 
the  country.  From  now  on,  with  the  constitution  as  amended,  the 
organization  work  completed,  the  National  Association  has  begun 
to  function  in  a  manner  befitting  its  position  in  the  real  estate 
world.  The  local  board  having  membership  in  the  National  Associa- 
tion may  well  be  proud  of  this  connection,  and  it  is  certain  that 
gregt  good  will  result  from  a  concerted  effort  on  the  part  of 
Realtors  throughout  the  Country  to  assist,  insofar  as  their  time 
will  permit,  in  preaching  the  doctrine  of  co-operation  among 
realtors  and  of  adhering  strictly  to  a  code  of  ethics  adopted  by  the 
National  Association,  in  order  that  the  real  estate  business  may  be 
lifted  to  the  high  place  to  which  it  is  entitled  and  the  pubic  gen- 
erally to  respect  it  as  a  profession  equal  in  importance  to  that  of 
the  lawyer,  doctor  and  banker." 

The  officers  of  the  National  Association  elected  for  1923  are : 
President,  L.  F.  Eppich,  Denver,  Col. ;  vice-presidents,  J.  H.  Han- 
nauer,  St.  Louis,  Mo.;  R.  T.  Cragin,  Cleveland,  O. ;  A.  H.  Schaflt, 
Fort  Wayne,  Ind.;  H.  H.  Garfield,  Rochester,  N.  Y. ;  A.  G.  Bander, 
Cedar  Rapids,  la.;  Leedy  Mathews,  Memphis,  Tenn. ;  Coe  A. 
McKenna,  Portland,  Ore. ;  E.  S.  Cary,  Providence,  R.  I. ;  A.  J. 
Simonson,  Denver,  Col. ;  W.  E.  Thompson,  Hamilton,  Ontario ; 
secretary,  W.  H.  Ball.  Pliiladelphia,  Pa.,  and  treasurer,  Hiram  S. 
Cody.  Chicago. 

The  Constitution  as  amended  at  the  Washington  meeting  of  the 
E.xecutive  Committee  earlier  in  the  year,  was  adopted  with  some 
minor  amendments.  Cleveland  obtained  the  cii>nvention  for  next 
year.

REAL    ESTATE    SECTION 


Metropolitan  Life  Ready  to  Build  $9-a-Room  Apartments 

Insurance  Company  Awards  First  Contracts  in  $7,000,000  Experiment,  Acting 
Under  Provisions  of  Law  Passed  by  Legislature  This  Year 


THE  Metropolitan  Life  Insurance  Company  announces  the 
completion  of  plans  and  the  awarding  of  contracts  for  its 
first  investment  under  the  law  passed  by  the  Legislature  of 
1922  permitting  life  insurance  companies  to  invest  ten  per  cent,  of 
their  assets  in  the  erection  of  apartment  houses  to  rent  for  not 
exceeding  an  average  of  $9  per  room  per  month. 

Through  the  company's  architects,  Messrs.  Andrew  J.  Thomas 
and  D.  Everett  Waid,  plans  and  specifications  have  been  prepared 
'  which  the  Metropolitan  officials  believe  will  produce  low  priced 
homes  superior  to  anything  heretofore  developed.  From  these  plans, 
the  insurance  officials  believe,  apartment  houses  can  be  erected  within 
the  limits  of  New  York  City  at  a  price  low  enough  to  realize,  at 
the  $9  a  room  rental,  the  operating  expenses  of  the  property,  six 
per  cent,  interest  on  the  company's  investment  and  a  reasonable 
amount  in  excess  to  amortize  the  cost  of  the  buildings.  These 
plans  were  submitted  to  six  contractors  and,  when  estimates  were 
received  by  the  company  on  June  12,  it  was  found  that  Henry  C. 
Irons  &  Sons,  101  Park  Avenue,  were  the  lowest  bidders.  The 
Real  Estate  Committee  of  the  Metropolitan  Company  held  a  meeting 
on  June  15  and  authorized  the  making  of  a  contract  with  Irons  & 
Sons  for  the  erection  of  fifty  houses  containing  39  apartments  each, 
which  will  provide  housing  for  1950  families  in  8,250  rooms.  The 
apartments  will  consist  of  four,  five  and  six  rooms  with  bath,  the 
houses  will  be  steam-heated  and  have  hot  water  supply  and  elec- 
tricity. Every  room  will  open  either  on  the  street,  yard  or  the 
large  interior  gardens  in  the  rear  and  at  the  sides  of  the  building, 
so  that  there  will  be  cross  ventilation  to  every  apartment,  and  in 
many  apartments  three  exposures.  There  will  be  no  dark  rooms  in 
any  of  the  buildings. 

The  Metropolitan  officials  expect  to  make  an  investment  of  from 
$6,500,000  to  $7,000,000  in  this  first  enterprise  under  the  new  law. 

The  location  of  the  properties  is  in  Queens,  where  land  can  be 
obtained  at  prices  low  enough  to  warrant  the  construction  of  these 
buildings.  Grand  Central  Station  of  the  Interborough  .Subway  can 
be  reached  in  about  seven  minutes  from  the  Long  Island  City  blocks 
and  in  less  than  twenty  minutes  from  the  Astoria  block,  and  when 
the  Brooklyn  Rapid  Transit  is  in  operation  to  Astoria  and  Corona, 
Times  Square  can  be  reached  in  the  same  short  time.  Connection 
can  also  be  made  with  the  Second  Avenue  Elevated  line  for  one 
fare.  The  Long  Island  City  blocks  are  within  a  few  minutes  walk 
of  the  Bliss  Street  Station.  The  Astoria  block  is  within  a  few 
minutes  walk  of  the  Ditmars  Avenue  Station,  the  terminus  of  the 
Astoria  Subway. 

The  company  has  already  received  applications  for  practically 
enough  tenants  to  entirely  fill  the  buildings.  It  is  not,  however, 
the  intention  to  oflfer  any  of  them  for  rent  until  some  of  the  build- 
ings  are   completed   and   the   tenants   can    inspect   the   apartments. 

Interesting  details  of  this  new  housing  project  are  brought  out 
in  a  statement  issued  by  the  architects,  in  which  they  predict  that 
this  will  mark  the  beginning  of  a  new  era  in  the  architecture  of 
American  housing.  It  creates  an  entirely  new  standard  in  multi- 
family  housing,  the  statement  declares,  continuing: 

There  are  necessarily  many  sides  to  such  a  vast  project,  witli  its  count- 
less technical  ramifications,  but  the  appeal  for  the  public,  as  well  as  the 
professional   housing   experts,   will    lay   in   Ihe   practical   sides. 

The  economics  which  have  been  worked  out  in  the  design  are  extra- 
ordinary, cNtcnding  as  they  do  from  the  main  essentials  down  to  the 
smallest  details  of  architecture.  More  than  anythins  else,  it  is  the  vast 
scilo  of  the  operation  which  creates  the  biggest  savings.  The  benefits  of 
large  scale  operation  and  organization  are  Just  as  great  in  housing  as 
in  any  other  form  of  production.  They  extend  to  design  and  construction, 
the  buying  of   materials,   the  systematizing  of   erection,  and— equally   im- 


TYPICAL   FLOOR  PLAN 


portant — to  maintenance  and  operation  of  the  houses  after  they  are 
completed.  The  design  of  these  apartment  houses  has  been  worked  out 
to  establish  the  maximum  economy  in  ail   respects. 

In  these  economics,  the  statement  declares,  the  repetition  of 
the  one  unit  fifty  times  permits  the  design  of  that  unit  to  be  per- 
fected with  infinite  pains,  in  a  manner  which  would  not  be  possible 
because  too  expensive  if  a  single  unit  only  were  to  be  built.  Every 
possible  saving,  large  or  small,  has  been  made  through  intensive 
study  of  the  design  on  the  part  of  Mr.  Thomas  and  Mr.  Waid,  with 
the  help  of  expert  building  technicians  and  housing  experts  whom 
they  have  consulted,  and  will  be  repeated  fifty  times  and  its  cost 
distributed  over  fifty  buildings.  Concentration  of  space,  compact- 
ness of  details,  the  splendid  openness  of  the  plan,  the  careful  con- 
sideration of  every  brick  and  every  piece  of  timber  and  trim,  the 
use  of  stock  details,  and  the  careful  working  out  of  the  mechanical 
features  of  heating,  pluml)ing  and  electricity,  where  every  foot  of 
piping  and  each  valve  has  been  calculated  as  to  cost  and  efficiency 
— these  are  only  a  few  of  the  advantages  created.  As  examples, 
the  excavation  work  has  been  almost  eliminated  by  placing  the  heat- 
ing plant  along  the  fronts  of  the  building,  requiring  only  one  long 
trench  on  each  street  which  is  made  by  a  steam  shovel.  Windows 
arc  generally  of  one  size. 

Great  as  these  benefits  are.  however,  they  are  not  so  important  as 
these  advantages  gained  by  big  scale  planning  of  the  cily  block  as  a 
whole — the  hlgUrst  iioint  wiiich  housing  economics  can  reacli.  Because 
of  this  concenlration  of  i^paee.  with  its  absolute  diminalinn  of  non- 
rent-payins  space  in  the  form  of  public  corridors,  in  the  apartments  them- 
selves, the  plan  of  the  buildings  has  been  opened  up  to  give  the  maximum 
of  sunshine,  of  circulation  of  air  and  of  cheerful  outlook.  Each  unit 
stands  free,  dividing  the  usual  solid  street  wail  into  twelve  buildings, 
housing  ;W  families  each.  Togi'thcr  they  occupy  approximately  only  fifty 
per  cent,  of  the  area  of  the  block.  This  type  of  design,  together  with 
the  U-shaped  plan  of  each  unit,  makes  possible  three  great  features.    The 


776 


RECORD    AND    GUIDE 


June  24,  1922 


first  of  these  is  the  great  interior  garden,  about  36  feet  wide  and  600 
feet  long,  extending  through  the  center  of  the  block,  affording  a  beautiful 
outlook  over  green  lawns  and  planting.  This  garden  is  infinitely 
preferable  to  the  hot,  dirty  and  noisy  street.  Second,  is  the  series  of 
twelve  U-shaped  courts,  opening  into  this  great  garden  and  thereby 
creating  cross  gardens,  so  to  speak,  each  about  1.S4  feet  by  40  feet 
at  the  widest  point.  And  thirdly,  there  are  passageways  between  build- 
ings at  intervals  of  100  feet  into  the  interior  garden.  These  passageways 
have  several  advantages.  Together  with  the  courts,  they  bring  outside 
light  into  the  buildings  and  they  add  a  large  number  of  corner  bedrooms 
and  create  splendid  cross  ventilation  in  the  individual  apartments.  They 
permit  the  fire  escapes — those  disfiguring  features  which  encroach  on  the 
sidewalks  and  ruin  the  appearance  of  New  York  City  streets — to  be 
placed  in  them,  almost  out  of  sight.  Furthermore,  they  are  important 
from  a  fire  risk  standpoint,  because  they  cut  down  the  risk  by  breaking 
up  the  solid  building  mass  along  the  street  with   open  passages. 

The  remarkable  openness  of  this  arrangement  of  isolated  buildings, 
with  interior  garden,  rear  courts  and  side  passageways,  develops  to  the 
full  the  great  principle  which  Mr.  Thomas  calls  "block  circulation." 
He   first  brought  this   idea  out  in   two  blocks   of   buildings,   designed    one 


GARDEN  VIEW  THROUGH  ENTRANCE  ARC.A.DE 

at  Jackson  Heights  for  the  Queensboro  Corporation  and  the  other  in  a 
district  of  Brooklyn,  for  the  City  and  Suburban  Homes  Co.  Its  value 
may  be  appreciated  by  visiting  these  properties,  particularly  the  Jackson 
Heights  group.  There  anyone,  standing  in  the  interior  garden  on  a  day 
without  any  wind,  will  be  astonished  at  the  steady  current  of  air  circu- 
lating through  the  passages  between   the  buildings. 

The  value  of  this  plan  to  the  individual  tenant  is  easily  seen.  To 
begin  with,  one  apartment  is  as  good  as  another.  The  rear  apartments 
with  their  quiet,  refreshing  outlook  over  the  gardens  are  more  desirable, 
if  possible,  than  those  situated  along  the  front.  What  this  means  may 
be  realized  by  comparison  with  the  stereotyped  discredited  "rear"  apart- 
ment, with  its  situation  on  narrow,  pocketed,  dark  and  badly-ventilated 
side  courts  ;  or  on  a  dingy  rear  yard,  with  outlook  over  back  fences  and 
alleys,  the  only  ornament  of  which  are  clothes  lines  with  their  public 
display  of  private  laundry. 

The  cheerfulness  and  homelike  character  and  the  outlook  and 
outdoor  air  and  sunshine,  were,  as  explained  above,  paramount. 
Every  apartment  has  perfect  cross  circulation  and  corner  rooms 
are  frequent  on  the  plan.  There  are  always  two  and  sometimes 
three  exposures  to  each  apartment,  like  a  country  house.  When 
it  came  to  the  domestic  arrangements  the  architects  realized  that 
the  one  to  consult  was  not  alone  the  expert,  but  the  housewife 
herself,  who  could  count  better  than  anyone  else  the  steps  saved 
in  performing  her  housework  and  the  time  she  economized.  The 
plans  were  passed  upon  by  ladies  expert  in  this  type  of  work,  who 
had  carefully  investigated  the  actual  working  out  of  the  arrange- 
ments of  the  model  tenements  and  had  discovered  that  the  women 


wlio  lived  in  them  were  much  dissatisfied  with  many  of  the  living 
arrangements.  Particularly  they  found  much  complaint  over  the 
combination  of  living  room  and  kitchen  into  one  room,  as  adding 
immensely  to  their  work  and  interfering  with  their  privacy. 

In  addition,  Mr.  Thomas  and  Mr.  Waid  submitted  their  plans  for 
criticism  to  an  audience  of  mothers  at  several  large  meetings,  held  in 
one  of  the  East  Side  Settlements,  where  every  detail  of  the  plans  was 
discussed.  The  arrangements  in  the  Metropolitan  plan  were  unanimously 
approved. 

The  typical  arrangement,  brought  out  in  a  little  perspective  of  an 
apartment  interior,  shows  a  triple  division  of  each  apartment  into  living 
room,  kitchen  and  dining  facilities  and  bedroom  portions — an  aid  both 
to  operation  and  to  privacy.  There  are  only  two  apartments  to  a  stair- 
hall,  adding  further  to  the  privacy  of  the  plan,  and  each  living  room 
is  separated  from  the  hall  by  a  little  foyer.  The  kitchen  part  is  sep- 
arated from  the  living  room,  and  contains  the  latest  improvements  in 
domestic  equipment.  A  gas  cooking  range  with  hood ;  a  sink  and  two 
wash  tubs  with  white  enamelled  metal  cover,  hinged  to  swing  up  against 
the  wall  when  the  tubs  are  in  use,  and  serving  as  a  drainboard  for  the 
sink  at  other  times  ;  a  dresser,  a  refrigerator  and  a  dumbwaiter  are  the 
principal  features.  All  is  arranged  to  save  the  housewife  steps,  and 
a  little  space  is  provided,  screened  off  from  the  rest  of  the  kitchen,  for 
eating. 

The  chambers,  together  with  the  bathroom,  are  screened  off  from 
the  living  room.  All  the  interior  details  are  simple  but  in  good  archi- 
tectural taste.  The  rooms  are  of  good  size  for  this  type  of  work,  well 
above  the  minimum  sizes  allowed  by  law. 

Thus  is  provided,  the  architects  point  out,  a  remarkably  efficient,  ample 
and  comfortable,  human  home.  Although  a  few  of  the  apartments  are 
larger  or  smaller,  the  Metropolitan  Company  has  adhered  to  the  stand- 
ards of  the  four-room  apartment  for  the  great  majority.  This  is  a  most 
progressive  decision,  because  it  repudiates  the  two-  and  three-room 
standard  which  has  been  adopted  for  much  housing  since  the  war  as  being 
definitely  below  the  American  standard  of  living.  Still  another  great 
advance  in  living  standards  is  the  mechanical  features.  Although  steam 
and  hot  water  are  not  usually  provided  at  these  rentals,  they  could  be 
included  in  the  plan  because  of  the  savings  made  in  other  ways. 

All  this  complex  design  has  resulted  in  what  Messrs.  Thomas  and 
Waid  .pronounce  an  architectural  exterior  of  fine  dignified  effect. 
By  reason  of  the  separate  buildings,  the  monotonous  effect  of  the 
long  street  wall,  with  its  monotonous  appearance,  like  an  institution 
rather  than  a  home,  is  done  away  with.  The  simple  building  masses, 
with  their  contrast  of  windows  and  wall  spaces  and  the  big  center 
archways  of  the  entrance  passageway  and  the  vistas  into  the  courts 
— these  features,  the  architects  feel,  will  furnish  a  homelike  appear- 
ance to  the  group. 

The  Metropolitan  Life  hopes,  through  this  enterprise,  to  produce 
results  that  will  make  it  interesting  to  other  builders  and  con- 
structors to  undertake  the  same  kind  of  operation.  Its  des>re  is 
to  produce  homes  at  the  lowest  possible  rental,  in  order  that  the 
part  of  the  city's  population  which  has  up  to  this  time  had  no  new 
buildings,  produced  at  rents  that  they  could  pay,  will  tnereby  have 
available  homes  that  have  heretofore  been  beyond  their  means. 
The  Metropolitan  Company's  interest  in  this  matter  is  the  same 
that  it  has  in  many  other  of  its  so-called  welfare  activities.  The 
company  insures  about  forty  per  cent,  of  the  population  in  the 
cities — a  very  large  majority  being  working  people  and  persons  of 
small  incomes  who  have  been  especially  hard  hit  and  inconvenienced 
by  the  high  rents  and  improper  housing  which  has  existed  during 
the  past  five  or  six  years.  It  has  loaned  large  sums  of  money  to 
assist  in  the  building  of  new  apartment  houses  and  dwellings  and 
hopes,  by  this  movement,  to  further  assist  in  alleviating  this  situa- 
tion. The  Metropolitan  Life  officials  declare  they  will  need  the 
co-operation  of  supply  houses  and  mechanics  in  the  building  trades, 
and  have  been  assured  they  will  receive  the  hearty  co-operation  of 
these  interests. 

Louis  Gold  &  Company  make  the  following  announcement : 

"Of  the  1,100  lots  which  we  have  recently  purchased  from  the 
American  Real  Estate  Company  in  Astoria,  L.  I.,  the  Metropolit&n 
Life  Insurance  Company  has  purchased  84  lots  on  Fourth  avenue, 
Sixth  avenue,  Ditmars  avenue  and  Wilcott  p.venue,  where  they  ex- 
pect to  erect  39  apartment  houses  accommodating  624  families. 
They  have  also  agreed  to  make  400  loans  to  builders  who  have 
purchased  lots  from  us  for  the  erection  of  400  two-family  houses 
All  buildings  con.structed  will  be  semi-detached  and  will  be  of

Total  Realized  at  Auction  of  1669  Astor  Lots  Is  $1,718,110 

Trustees   of  Estate   of   the   Late   Viscount    Pleased   with    Receipts   from    Sale 
Conducted  by  Messrs.  Day  and  Davies,  Auctioneers 

WITH  a  keenly  interested  audience,  in  the  ball  room  of 
the  Hotel  Astor,  Joseph  P.  Day  closed  a  two  days' 
auction  sale  on  Thursday  of  last  week  of  1,669  lots  com- 
prising the  Viscount  William  Waldorf  Astor  tract  in  the  West- 
chester section  of  the  Bronx.  The  total  sum  realized  for  the 
property  was  $1,718,110.  Many  of  the  buyers  during  the  first  day 
of  the  sale,  which  was  fully  reported  in  The  Record  and  Guide  of 
last  week,  were  also  buyers  on  the  second  day.  If  there  had  been 
more  lots  to  buy  they  would  have  bought  them.  The  crowd  held 
strong  to  the  last  minute  of  the  auction  when  Mr.  Day  knocked  down 
the  last  81  lots  to  Jacob  S.  and  Michael  Friedman,  operators,  for 
the  sum  of  $29,160.  They  are  situated  on  Bronx  River  road, 
between  East  173d  and  East  174th  street. 

The  sale  indicates  that  investors  as  well  as  operators  and  spec- 
ulators are  in  the  market,  as  many  of  the  lots  have  since  been  re- 
sold privately  to  investors  who  will  build  dwellings  and  to  builders 
who  will  erect  two-family  houses  and  multi-family  walk-up  houses. 
The  easy  accessibility  to  transit  routes  makes  the  entire  tract  an  at- 
tractive proposition  for  improvement. 

The  auctoneer  knocked  down  the  last  lot  at  less  than  $1,000. 
Thomas  Morch  and  Edward  Salomon,  who  bought  heavily  during 
the  first  day  were  busy  buyers  on  the  last  day.  They  represented 
a  Philadelphia  syndicate  and  their  aggregate  purchase  was  $200,150. 
During  the  first  day  they  bought  120  lots  at  $151,200. 

D.  J.  Converser,  a  Brooklyn  clothing  merchant,  who  also  was 
actively  buying  on  the  first  day.  bought  during  the  two  days  $100,150 
worth  of  lots.  During  the  second  day  he  bought  lots  on  Westchester 
avenue  and  abutting  lots. 

Jacob  Cohen,  a  Bronx  builder,  on  the  second  day  bought  Ti  lots 
on  Feteley  avenue  and  on  Metcalf  avenue,  between  East  173d  and 
East  174th  street  at  $875  each.  He  will  improve  them  with  S-story 
walk-up  apartment  houses  and  with  two-family  houses,  the  latter 
type  to  be  on  Fetley  avenue. 

Felix  Isman,  of  Philadelphia,  who  has  for  many  years  speculated 
in  all  kinds  of  New  York  real  estate,  followed  up  his  purchase  of 
$39,000  worth  of  lots  on  Wednesday  with  the  purchase  of  sixty  lots 
on  Thursday  at  $450  each.  They  are  situated  on  Morrison  and 
Stratford  avenues,  between  East  174th  street  and  Bronx  River  road 
and  aggregated  $27,000.  His  first  day's  purchase  was  sixty  lots  at 
$650  each,  or  a  total  value  for  the  day  of  $39,000,  making  his  final 
aggregate  $66,000. 

Dr.  J.  Axelrod,  a  spirited  bidder,  bought  sixty  lots  in  the  block 
bounded  by  Morrison  and  Stratford  avenues.  East  174th  street  and 
Bronx  River  road  at  an  average  price  of  $450  each,  or  an  aggregate 
of  $27,000. 

Philip  Goldberg  was  among  the  largest  buyers,  his  aggregate 
purchase  being  $191,000.  He  bought  a  block  front  on  Morris  Park 
avenue,  from  180th  to  181st  street,  for  $39,900;  a  corner  plot, 
100x100,  for  $18,300;  a  block  front  on  Westchester  avenue,  between 
St.  Lawrence  and  Beech  avenue,  for  $51,250;     a  block  front  each 


on  Commonwealth  and  Rosedale  avenues,  from  172d  to  174th  street, 
for  $39,000;    and  other  less  important  parcels  that  were  scattered.

$2,800;  six  lots  for  $6.000 ;  16  lots  for  $33,000;  3  lots  for  $4,350;

$3,600.  Marcus  Feldman  bought  a  group  of  4  lots  for  $6,150. 
Bokhara  Realty  Corporation  bought  the  six  lots  319-324  for  $8,700. 
Samuel  Naboischek  bought  the  six  lots  382-387  for  $4,350  . 

William  H.  Callahan  bought  lots  1399-1403  for  $5,000.  Eraile

lots  1546-1551  for  $3,450;  lot  1552  for  $1,225;  lot  1556  for  $425;

905-913  for  $9,675.    L.  Landsman  bought  lots  489-492  for  $3,300. 

The  foregoing  purchases  give  a  comprehensive  idea  of  the  general 
trend  of  the  sale.  Comparatively  few  persons  bought  one  lot  each. 
The  general  public  interest  in  the  sale  was  shown  by  the  cos- 
mopolitan character  of  the  buying. 


State  Convention  of  Title  Men  Held  at  Geneva 


THE  annual  convention  of  the  New  York  State  Title  Asso- 
ciation was  held  at  Geneva  yesterday,  the  program  conclud- 
ing with  a  dinner  to  the  delegates  and  guests  at  the  Geneva 
Country  Club.  The  subjects  discussed  at  the  morning  and  after- 
noon sessions  included  those  dealing  with  the  needs  of  title  men 
and  abstractors  throughout  New  York  State.  Mayor  Robert  A. 
Catchpole  of  Geneva  made  the  opening  address  to  the  convention, 
which  was  held  in  Smith  Hall,  Hobart  College.  L.  B.  Bright,  Presi- 
dent of  the  Lawyers  Title  and  Trust  Company  of  New  York  City, 
responded.  Following  these  addresses  Cyril  H.  Burdett,  Vice- 
President  of  the  New  York  Title  and  Mortgage  Company  and 
President  of  the  New  York  State  Title  Association,  introduced 
Hon.  Anson  Getman,  Deputy  Attorney  General  in  charge  of  titles 
and  one  of  the  foremost  authorities  in  the  country  on  his  subject. 


He  spoke  on  "Sources  of  Title,"  laying  stress  upon  water  front 
property  and  the  derivation  of  titles   from  the  State. 

In  the  afternoon  session,  William  X.  Weed,  Esq.,  Counsel  for 
the  Westchester  Title  and  Mortgage  Company  and  the  author  of 
several  well-known  books,  addressed  the  convention  on  "Tax 
Title,  followed  by  Henry  R.  Chittick,  Solicitor  for  the  Lawyers

Review  of  Real  Estate  Market  for  the  Current  Week 

Large  Sales  of  Loft  Buildings  and  Apartment  Houses  and  Sites  for  New  Ones 

Gave  High  Tone  to  Dealing. 


THE  market  this  week  was  distinguished  by  numerous  large 
transactions  instead  of  by  a  heavy  volume  of  dealing.  The 
diversity  that  is  usually  given  to  it  by  various  operators 
in  medium  sized  properties  and  by  investors  in  medium  sized  parcels 
was  lacking.  Movements  of  large  parcels,  however,  indicate  strong 
interest  in  real  estate  in  this  town  inasmuch  as  large  parcels  make 
up  the  properties  on  important  thoroughfares  and  in  the  best 
apartment  belts.  Big  leases  were  also  a  distinguishing  feature 
of  the  week. 

The  sale  of  two  Tenth  avenue  block  fronts  by  the  estate  of 
\^'iUiam  Waldorf  Astor  to  M^x  Natanson  is  the  first  large  West 
Side  holding  of  this  estate  to  change  hands.  The  buyer  has  resold 
some  of  the  parcels.  The  estate  of  "Al"  Adams  sold  two 
tenement  houses  with  stores  in  lower  East  34th  street,  near  the 
Long  Island  Railroad  ferry.  Not  so  many  years  ago  these  parcels 
were  good  rent  producers.  Traffic  at  that  point  is  much  less  than 
in  the  past  on  account  of  railroad  passengers  taking  trains  in  the 
Pennsylvania  Station.  The  buildings  in  discussion  will  be  altered 
into  a  garage.  A  large  Broadway  corner  apartment  house,  at  135th 
street,  figured  in  a  trade  for  Bronx  and  Harlem  parcels.  The 
largest  remaining  vacant  plot  on  Riverside  Drive — a  corner — 
changed  hands  for  improvement  with  a  large  apartment  house. 
That  the  region  adjacent  to  the  downtown  ferries  still  has  good 
retail  trade  strength  is  indicated  by  a  prominent  shoe  dealer  on 
Greenwich  street  buying  the  abutting  building  on  Washington 
street  for  the  purpose  of   enlarging  his  establishment.     Evidently 


the  northward  movement  of   retail  trade  does  not  appeal  to  him. 

Eighth  avenue  contributed  numerous  sales  to  the  aggregate. 
This  thoroughfare  has  attracted  much  attention  recently  by  the 
frequent  sales  of  real  estate  along  it.  The  Pinkncy  estate  sold  a 
plot  of  12  lots  in  West  Harlem  to  builders.  A  12-story  loft  building 
in  West  30th  street,  worth  $550,000  and  another  in  West  27th  street, 
worth  $400,000,  formed  some  of  the  big  items  of  the  dealing.  A 
12-story  apartment  house  covering  an  uptown  block  front  was  re- 
sold for  about  $2,000,000.  Only  a  few  weeks  ago  the  seller  acquired 
it  and  he  disposes  of  it  at  a  good  profit.  Max  Natanson  took  a 
profit  on  the  Arena  building  in  West  32d  street  running  through  to 
West  31st  street.  This  was  a  $1,500,000  deal  and  embodied  a  trade 
to  a  degree  for  Central  Park  West  properties.  The  Park  avenue 
zone  witnessed  the  sale  of  a  large  apartment  house.  Other  large 
transactions  will  be  found  in  the  news  columns  of  this  issue.  A 
parcel  on  Beaver  street  and  one  on  Chambers  street  was  sold. 

Notable  among  the  leases  was  that  of  Maillard,  confectioner,  of 
a  Madison  avenue  corner  at  47th  street.  Two  dwellings  in  West 
48th  street,  near  Fifth  avenue,  were  taken  for  21  years  for  trade 
purposes.  ■  The  Claridge  and  Wallick  hotels,  on  Broadway,  from 
43d  to  44th  street,  formed  an  outstanding  lease.  A  fine  Fifth  avenue 
dwelling  was  leased  to  a  fashionable  school.  The  Columbia  Club 
renewed  its  lease  of  its  7-story  club  house,  in  West  43d  street  for 
a  long  term  with  privilege  of  another  renewal.  As  a  site  for  a  12-

American  Construction  Council  Organized  at  Washington 


By-Laws   Adopted   and 
Building  Industry 


Constructive   Plan    Outlined    for    Correcting   Evils    in 
Under  Leadership  of  Hon.  P'ranklin  D.  Roosevelt 


ABOUT  two  hundred  representatives  of  the  ten  major 
groups  which  comprise  the  construction  industry  met  at 
the  Hotel  Washington,  Washington,  D.  C,  Monday  and 
Tuesday,  June  19  and  20,  to  organize  the  American  Construction 
Council.  The  preliminaries  of  this  meeting  were  recently  arranged 
at  Cleveland  at  which  time  it  was  announced  that  the  fundamental 
idea  of  the  organization  had  the  hearty  endorsement  of  Secretary 
Hoover  of  the  Department  of  Commerce  and  that  Hon.  Franklin 
D.  Roosevelt  had  consented  to  become  its  presiding  officer  as  soon 
as  the  council  had  completed  its  organzation. 

Secretary  Hoover  delivered  the  address  which  formally  opened 
the  conference  last  Monday  morning,  and  in  his  remarks  congrat- 
ulated the  construction  industry  upon  its  effort  to  co-ordinate  its 
various  elements  and  readjust  those  things  which  for  some  time 
past  have  been  responsible  for  bringing  discredit  upon  one  of  the 
most  important  of  the  nation's  industries.  He  explained  that  the 
Government  is  in  hearty  accord  with  the  American  Council  and 
will  lend  its  full  support  to  rejuvenate  construction  in  the  United 
States. 

"The  initiative  in  the  administration  of  the  building  industry 
must  come  from  within  the  industry  itself  and  not  from  bureau- 
cratic regulation,"  declared  Secretary  Hoover.  "If  we  would  stem 
the  tide  tending  to  refer  every  little  need  and  complaint  to  the  gov- 
ernment, there  must  be  independent  action  among  members  of  the 
industry." 

Among  the  subjects  suggested  by  Secretary  Hoover  for  consid- 
eration of  the  Council  were  standardization  of  grades,  inspection  of, 
and  simplification  of  dimensions  of  construction  materials,  the 
collection  of  statistics,  the  encouragement  of  home  building,  zoning, 
proper  building  codes,  seasonal  and  intermittent  employment, 
jurisdictional  disputes,  apprenticeship,  vocational  training  and  in 
general  the  elemination  of  unnecessary  speculation  and  the  better 
functioning  of  industry  in  regard  to  our  national  needs. 

A  warning  against  "an  intense  stratification  of  the  various  econ- 
omic interests  in  our  national  life"  which  lead  to  selfish  aims  and 
purposes  was  voiced  by  Willis  H.  Booth,  Vice  President  of  the 
Guaranty  Trust  Company  of  New  York  in  following  Secretary 
Hoover.  l{  the  public  confidence  is  to  be  gained  the  aims  and 
purposes  of  the  Council  must  square  and  comport  itself  entirely 
with  the  best  public  judgment,  he  said.  He  denied  proposing  an 
impractical  altruism  which  was  not  consistent  with  actual  facts  but 
declared  such  a  basis  was  "an  enlightened  kind  of  selfishness  which 
will  take  us  further  because  it  is  more  nearly  right."  Illustrating 
his  point  he  went  on  to  say  "If  we  can  surround  the  construction 
industry  with  a  feeling  of  stability  we  immediately  add  to  its 
ability  to  secure  credit."  This  feeling  of  stability  he  stated  was 
based  on  the  confidence  which  the  public  gave  to  the  industry. 

Following  the  opening  addresses  a  series  of  five-minute  talks 
were  given  by  representatives  of  the  various  elements  which  com- 
prise the  industry. 

Henry  H.  Kendall,  Past-President  of  the  American  Institute  of 
Architects,  stated  that  the  architects  were  happy  to  be  among  those 
who  are  participating  in  the  organization  of  the  Council. 

"We  see  in  it  potentialities  far  hoyond  its  present  capacity,"  he  said, 
"and  we  hope  soon  to  ."^ee  them  realized  in  actual  achievements.  We  shall 
gladly  give  to  it  onr  best  efforts  and  cooperation  to  acliieve  these  so  much 
desired  results.  We  are  to  bring  together  a  group  of  men,  vitally  interested 
in  different  phases  of  the  building  industry,  an  occupation,  in  which, 
directly  or  indirectly,  almost  every  trade  and  industry  is  represented,  and 
by  our  counsel  and  advice  solve  the  many  problems  which  have  arisen 
and  will  continue  to  arise  between  groups  and   trades ;      to  fix   standards 


and  formulate  rules  of  conduct  which  shall  govern  our  business  relations 
and  promote  good  will,  efficiency  and  fair  play  in  building  and  con- 
struction." 

William  McCIellan  of  New  York,  representing  public  utilities 
construction  said :  "The  extreme  difficulties  encountered  in  con- 
struction as  compared  with  other  industrial  problems,  makes  an 
organization,  such  as  this,  an  inevitable  '  factor.  When  a  manu- 
facturer gets  an  order  he  puts  it  through  a  factory  with  an 
organized  force  and  system  well  established.  Construction  on  the 
other  hand  necessitates  in  the  very  nature  of  things  that  those  en- 
gaging in  it  have  even  to  clear  the  ground,  create  their  plant  and 
organize  their  forces  before  they  can  begin  to  build.  And  on  the 
next  contract,  they  must  do  it  all  over  again.  The  ability  to  over- 
come such  problems  as  these  is  the  kind  of  abihty  which  must  be 
put  into  handling  the  problems  before  such  a  council  as  this.  The 
great  need  is  to  translate  the  general  ideals  here  expressed  into 
specific  accomplishments.  If  construction  men  can't  do  it,  nobody 
else  can." 

A  very  significant  stand  was  taken  by  labor  engaged  in  building 
trades  when  the  organized  building  trades  endorsed  the  American 
Construction  Council  and  voted  unanimously  to  affiliate  with  the 
Council  at  their  recent  convention  in  Cincinnati. 

"We  believe  that  the  Council  can  be  a  most  potential  factor  in 
the  stabilization  of  the  industry  we  serve,"  said  John  Donlin,  presi- 
dent of  the  Building  Trades  Department,  American  Federation  of 
Labor,  "and  we  hope  that  all  the  elements  of  the  industry  will 
affiliate." 

He  stated  that  the  Council  should  be  a  fact  finding  agency  to 
determine  rights  and  wrongs,  and  serve  to  eliminate  wrongs  in- 
flicted by  a  few  in  each  element  of  the  industry.  It  was  his  opinion 
that  the  Council  should  establish  and  maintain  local  conference 
committees  in  all  cities,  these  being  necessary  for  local  guidance  to 
hold  the  confidence  of  the  public,  to  avoid  strikes,  lockouts  and  to 
protect  the  industry  against  uneconomic  abuses. 

"Some  one  of  the  many  elements  contributing  to  the  industry,"  said  Mr. 
Donlin,  "is  at  one  time  or  another  responsible  for  some  injury.  If  one 
member  is  working  with  detriment  to  his  group,  he  should  be  called  to 
task.  Responsibility  for  any  bad  condition  can  be  determined  and  a 
remedy  applied.  If  the  banker,  the  manufacturer,  dealer,  or  worker  is 
responsible,  all  others  are  concerned.  We  must  all  be  guided  by  a 
determination  for  absolute  justice." 

In  speaking  for  the  engineers,  Calvert  Townley  of  the  Westing- 
house  Electric  and  Manufacturing  Company  said  : 

"The  engineers  believe  in  organization  and  in  organization  for  public 
service.  That  was  the  motive  which  led  them  to  organize  their  own 
organization.  They  do  not  feel  that  organization  for  public  service  means 
a  sacrifice  of  private  industry.  It  means  the  increased  reward  for  private 
industry  because  not  only  does  the  organization  have  a  feeling  of  satis- 
faction of  good,  well  done,  but  they  reap  a  large  pecuniary  reward  in  the 
important  character  of  their  reputation  among  their  associates  who 
come  to  believe  in  them,  which  of  course  results  in  time  in  a  very  great 
increase  in  business.  A  movement  to  coordinate  with  the  object  of  per- 
forming better  public  service  is  distinctly  a  move  in  the  right  direction." 

Owing  to  illness,  Hon.  Franklin  D.  Roosevelt,  president-elect  of 
the  American  Construction  Council,  was  unable  to  be  present  at 
the  meeting.    A  letter  from  him  was  read  which  said  in  part : 

"I  much  regret  that  I  am  unable  to  be  present  at  the  organization 
meeting  of  the  American  Construction  Council,  but  I  know  that  under 
tho  in.spiring  leadership  of  Mr.  Hoover  the  conference  will  be,  not  merely 
an  opportunity  to  get  at  facts,  but  will  result  in  a  definite  move  tor  the 
good  of  the  nation 

"There  is  absolutely  no  doubt  that  the  construction  industry  must  do 
something  constructive  !  I  refer  not  to  abuses  of  power  in  the  past,  by 
this,  that  or  the  other  individual  or  local  organization  ;  I  speak  of  the 
fact  tliat  an  immense  sum  of  money,  energy  and  happiness  on  the  part 
of  the  American  people  ca;i  be  saved  if  the  existing  waste  is  eliminated.

June  24,  1922 


"In  my  judgment  the  American  Construction  Council  must  be  broad 
enough  to  include  every  element,  and  it  must  be  strong  enough  to  strike 
at  any  individual  or  association  of  individuals  which  tails  to  live  up  to 
certain  simple  standards  of  ethics  in  business  dealings.  It  may  be  felt  by  some 
that  there  would  be  danger  through  the  limitation  of  freedom  of  action 
of  the  individual,  but  it  must  be  remembered  that  the  public  as  a  whole 
are  concerned  in  the  efficiency,  honesty  and  honor  of  all  the  groups  con- 
stituting the  construction  industry.  It  goes  without  saying  that  if  the 
members  of  the  construction  industry  are  unable  to  keep  their  own  bouse 
in  order,  an  exasperated  public  will  some  day  regulate  their  house  for 
them." 

The  Monday  afternoon  and  evening  sessions  were  devoted  to  the 
presentation  of  the  report  of  the  Operating  Committee  on  Organiza- 
tion by  General  R.  C.  Marshall,  Jr.,  General  Manager  of  the  Asso- 
ciated General  Contractors  of  America,  a  discussion  of  the  proposed 
by-laws  by  the  ten  major  groups  representing  all  elements  in  the 
industry,  into  which  the  Council  has  been  divided,  and  the  election

The  discussion  on  the  proposed  by-laws  for  the  council  was 
most  interesting  and  the  various  trade  group  committees  offered 
suggested  changes  which  were  referred  to  the  committee  on  by- 
laws for  further  consideration.  The  preamble  to  the  proposed  by- 
laws outlines  briefly  the  purposes  of  the  organization  and  is  largely 
a  statement  of  intent.     The  preamble  follows : 

"With  the  desire  to  place  the  construction  industry  on  a  high 
plane  of  integrity  and  efficiency  and  to  correlate  the  efforts  towards 
betterment  made  by  the  existing  organizations,  all  the  component 
parts  of  the  industry  are  joining  in  formation  of  the  American 
construction  council,  a  conference  association  representative  of 
the  whole  industry  and  dedicated  to  the  improvement  of  the  service 
which  the  construction  industry  renders  to  the  community,  the 
state,  and  the  nation." 

Tuesday's  sessions  were  devoted  to  the  consideration  of  subjects 
to  be  taken  up  by  the  council  and  the  adoption  of  an  immediate 
program  of  action. 

The  morning  session  was  opened  with  an  address  by  Walter 
Gordon  Merritt,  counsel  for  the  Silk  Association,  upon  the  subject 
of  "Determining  the  Proper  Relations  Between  the  Several 
Elements  in  the  Construction  Industry." 

"Builders  must  reform  by  abolishing  combinations  and  monopolies  in 
restraint  of  trade,  purging  their  ranks  of  lawbreakers,  prosecuting 
grafters  and  arbitrating  industrial  disputes,"  said  Mr.  Merritt.  "The 
construction  industry  is  guilty  of  economic  waste  and  is  the  most  ineffi- 
ciently conducted  of  any.  Distrust  between  employers  and  employes  must 
give  way  to  mutual  understanding. 

"We  must  have  a  permanent  arbitration  council  to  settle  disputes, 
instead  of  periodic  armistices  between  capital   and  labor,"  he  said. 

"By  co-operation  and  closer  contact  with  labor  and  placing  of  public 
Interest  above  individual  selfishness  alone  can  evils  of  the  industry  find 
remedy.  Architects,  builders,  supply  men  and  all  branches  of  the  industry 
need  correction." 

Mr.  Merritt  further  said  the  construction  industry  had  been 
frightened  by  public  condemnation  into  attempting  corrective  action. 
They  had  in  the  past  been  bargaining  with  corruption,  because  they 
feared  it  would  hurt  their  business  to  combat  it,  he  said,  but  must 
now,  by  joint  effort,  overcome  it. 


These  statements  of  Mr.  Merritt  had  the  endorsement  of  the 
council.  One  of  the  members  said  his  unexpected  attack  was  exactly 
what  they  needed. 

He  said  the  construction  industry  was  the  most  intimately  asso- 
ciated with  the  welfare  of  the  people  and  unless  based  on  a  platform 
of  service,  the  council  could  not  overcome  public  distrust  and 
animosity. 

Dr.  John  Gries,  chief  of  the  housing  bureau  of  the  Department 
of  Labor,  and  chairman  of  the  committee  on  building  materials  of 
the  district  housing  committee,  told  the  council  one  of  its  impor- 
tant problems  was  to  encourage  production  of  more  and  better 
houses  throughout  the  country. 

He  said  one  of  the  difficulties  confronting  the  industry  was  the 
lack  of  authentic  information.  He  advocated  a  survey  showing 
wage  scales  and  other  information  affecting  the  industry,  to  be 
placed  in  the  hands  of  a  neutral  and  scientifically  minded  organiza- 
tion for  mutual  benefit. 

"It  is  impossible  to  get  at  the  statistics  needed  to  guide  the 
council,"  said  Mr.  Gries,  "because  those  who  compile  them  are 
interested  in  their  own  interpretations." 

John  B.  Earner,  a  Washington  banker  and  member  of  the 
finance  committee  of  the  housing  committee,  spoke  on  the  necessity 
for  building  a  standard  of  responsibility  on  the  part  of  members 
of  the  industry. 

Other  speakers  were  Robert  D.  Kohn,  architect;  M.  C.  Rorty, 
New  York;  Walter  Elie,  Cleveland;  D.  K.  Boyd,  Philadelphia, 
and  D.  A.  Garber,  of  New  York. 

The  Tuesday  afternoon  session  was  opened  with  an  address  by 
F.  M.  Feiker,  of  the  McGraw-Hill  Company,  who  spoke  on  the 
imperative  need  for  a  code  of  ethics  for  the  construction  industry. 
He  outlined  briefly  the  outstanding  reasons  for  such  a  code  and 
pointed  to  the  work  already  accomplished  along  this  line  by  the 
New  York  Building  Congress. 

The  concluding  work  of  the  meeting  was  the  adoption  of  the 
report  of  the  program  committee  of  which  Noble  Foster  Hoggson 
was  the  chairman.  The  proposals  of  the  committee  were  as 
follows: 

Tlif  first  efforts  of  the  council  should  be  devoted  to  a  solution  of  the 
more  pressing  of  the  many  problems  which  await  settlement.  Among  the 
most  important  of  these  are  : 

The  formation  of  a  code  of  ethics  acceptable  to  the  industry  and  to 
the  public; 

The  gathering  of  adequate  statistics  so  that  the  industry  may  operate 
intelligently.  While  there  are  partial  statistics  collected  by  many  sources, 
they  have  not  been  brought  together  and  interpreted  in  the  light  of  all 
the  facts  ; 

To  establish  and  strengthen  local  organization  throughout  the  country, 
designed  to  attain  the  cooperation  of  the  various  elements  in  the  con- 
struction industry  in  conformity  with  the  principles  of  the  American  Con- 
struction Council. 

A  reduction  of  the  national  shortage  of  building  mechanics  and  the 
establishment  of  the  necessary  apprenticeship  system  ; 

To  promote  legislation  and  vocational  guidance  through  the  educational 
systems  of  the  country  increasingly  raising  the  standard  of  efficiency  and 
workmanship. 

To  cooperate  in  the  establishment  of  uniform  building  codes  throughout 
the  country. 

To  cooperate  with  the  railroads  in  expediting  the  revision  of  existing 
freight  rates  on  construction  materials  which  the  railroads  are  now 
undertaking. 

To  mitigate  the  evils  of  seasonal  employment  in  the  trade  migration 
of  labor  ; 

The  encouragement  of  local  building  shows  and  the  adoption  of  a  pub- 
licity program  capable  of  giving  the  public  an  adequate  conception  of  the 
magnitude  and  the  work  of  the  construction  industry. 

Simplification,  standardization  and  elimination  of  waste. 

Educating  the  public  to  the  distribution  of  its  construction  and  main- 
tenance requirements  more  evenly  throughout  the  year. 

To  promote  health  and  safety  of  employes  on  construction  work. 

To  reduce  loss  of  life  and  waste  of  construction  materials  from  pre- 
ventable fires. 

To  study  old  buildings  in  order  to  make  better  new  buildings,  and  par- 
ticularly buildings  being  demolished  in  order  to  obtain  practical  knowledge 
of  comparative  depreciation  of  material  and  thus  to  establish  superior 
methods  of  construction. 

To  inform  the  public  as  to  the  necessity  and  economy  of  properly  main- 
taining existing  structures. 

The  program  committee  recommended  that  only  the  president 
be  elected  by  the  executive  board  at  their  meeting  immediately 
after  this  session,  and  that  the  executive  board  then  declare  a 
recess  until  Friday,  3  P.  M.,  when  they  will  meet  president-elect, 
Mr.  Roosevelt,  at  his  home  in  New  York  City,  and  proceed  with 
the  election  of  other  officers  of  the  board  and  decide  what  problems 
should  be  undertaken  at  once  by  the  Council.

Building  Activity  Gains  Are  Noted  in  Local  Territory 

Weekly  Statistics  of  F.  W.   Dodge   Company  Show  General  Improvement  in 
Volume  of  New  Construction  Planned  and  Placed  Under  Contract 


A  STATISTICAL  report  covering  local  construction  activity 
for  the  twenty-fourth  week  of  this  year  shows  continued 
progress  in  practically  all  branches  of  the  industry,  with  an 
increasing  volume  of  new  work  being  planned  and  commitments  un- 
der contract  indicative  of  exceptionally  busy  months  ahead.  These 
figures,  which  were  tabulated  by  the  F.  W.  Dodge  Company,  cov- 
ering the  territory  including  all  of  New  York  State  and  New  Jer- 
sey, north  of  Trenton,  show  that  in  the  week  of  June  10  to  16, 
inclusive,  701  new  building  and  engineering  operations,  at  an  esti- 
mated total  cost  of  $22,673,100,  were  reported  as  projected  or  being 
planned.  During  the  same  week  the  contract  commitments  num- 
bered 430  and  represented  a  total  outlay  of  $18,427,200. 

The  figures  for  the  five  boroughs  of  New  York  City  also  show 
a  steady  and  consistent  improvement  in  the  volume  of  active  con- 
struction. Reports  for  the  week  show  that  in  this  city  plans  for  295 
new  construction  projects,  estimated  to  cost  $9,493,100,  were  being 
prepared     and  the  contracts  actually  awarded  during  that  period 


numbered  113  and  will  require  a  total  outlay  of  about  $10,084,000. 

New  York  City  building  projects  planning  were  grouped  as  fol- 
lows :  57  business  structures,  such  as  stores,  offices,  lofts,  commer- 
cial garages,  etc.,  $1,549,500;  8  educational  buildings,  $1,068,300; 
2  hospitals  and  institutions,  $110,000;  6  factory  and  industrial 
projects,  $496,000;  7  public  works  and  public  utilities,  $375,000;  5 
religious  and  memorial  edifices,  $155,000;  208  residential  operations, 
including  apartments,  flats  and  tenements  and  one-  and  two-family 
dwellings,  $5,727,300  and  2  social  and  recreational  buildings,  $12,000. 

Among  the  113  projects  for  which  contracts  were  awarded  during 
the  twenty-fourth  week  of  this  year  were  25  business  buildings  of 
various  types,  $3,465,000;  1  educational  project,  $35,000;  1  hospital, 
$19,100;  3  factory  and  industrial  buildings,  $265,000;  4  public  build- 
ings, $735,000;  6  public  works  and  public  utilities,  $116,600;  4 
religious  and  memorial  structures,  $250,000;  67  residential  buildings 
such  as  multi-family  and  one-  and  two-family  houses,  $5,181,300 
and  2  social  and   recreational  projects,  $17,000.

May  .Structural  Sales  at  S2  Per  Cent. 

Sales  of  fabricated  structural  steel  dur- 
ing- May  amounted  to  .S2  per  cent  of  fab- 
ricating capacity,  according  to  reports 
made  to  the  Department  of  Commerce  by 
firms  comprising  70  per  cent  of  the  fabri- 
cating eapacity  of  the  United  States.  The 
May  business  reported  b.v  82  firms,  hav- 
ing a  capacity  of  130.000  tons,  totaled 
106. ()20  tons  as  against  April  sales  of 
these  same  firms  amounting  to  121,211 
tons,  or  at  the  rate  of  93  per  cent  of 
capacity.  Total  sales  throughout  the 
United   States,   based  on  the  reported  per- 


centage and  a  total  capacity  of  180,000 
tons,  amounted  to  146,900  tons  in  May, 
while  revised  figures  for  April  give  a 
total  of  165.900  tons.  The  April  figures

Preservatlon  of  Timber 

The  increased  demand  for  permanent 
timber  structures  is  sho^wn  in  a  recent 
report  of  the  Service  Bureau  of  the 
American   Wood   Preservers'   Association. 

Over  2.400,000,000  board  feet  of  timber 
for  various  purposes  were  pressure 
treated  in  1921  by  the  122  wood  preserv- 
ing plants  in  operation  throughout  the 
United  States,  thereby  surpassing  the 
1920  record  by  nearly  17  per  cent. 
Approximately  equal  amounts 
treated  with  coal-tar  creosote  and 
zinc  chloride,  the  standard  wood 
servatives. 

To  treat  this  wood  51,375,360  pounds  of 
zinc  chloride,  with  an  absorption  of  one- 
half  pound  per  cubic  foot,  and  79,384,326 
gallons  of  creosote,  with  an  absorption 
of  5  to  over  20  pounds  per  cubic  foot, 
were  requqired. 

Ease  of  handling  and  the  permanence 
of  well-treated  wood  at  low  cost  are  given 
as  the  reason  for  the  Increased  demand. 
The  proper  use  of  a  wood  preservative 
adds  a  new  quality  to  timber  which 
enhances  its  value  as  a  construction 
material. 

The  material  treated  consisted  mainly 
of  construction  timbers  for  wharf,  bridge, 
highway,  mining  and  building  purposes, 
piling,  telephone  and  power  poles,  ties, 
fence  posts,  wood  blocks  for  street  pav- 
ing and  for  factory  floors,  and  timber  for 
miscellaneous  uses. 


Simpllflcatlon   of    Materials 

Simplification  of  building  materials  as 
a  means  of  eliminating  waste  in  industry 
was  discussed  at  a  recent  conference  held 
between  officials  of  the  Department "  of 
Commerce  and  representatives  of  archi- 
tectural, engineering  and  building  organi- 
zations. The  meeting  expressed  itself  as 
being  in  full  accord  with  Secretary 
Hoover's  program  for  elimination  of 
waste  as  a  major  means  to  the  stimula- 
tion of  American  business.  In  selecting 
the  items  of  building  materials  to  be  given 
attention  first,  the  following  were  desig- 
nated: Mill  work,  plumbing,  heating,  in- 
terior wall  construction,  hardware,  liglit- 
ing  fixtures,  clay  products,  the  latter  in- 
cluding brick,  tile  and  all  kinds  of  terra 
cotta,  sewer  pipe,  and  so  forth.  In  giving 
these  items  attention  the  department  will 
form  sub-committees  to  bring  together 
the  manufacturers  and  others  having  to 
do  with  each  particular  commodity  or 
service.

RECORD    AND     GUIDE 


June  24,  1922- 


REPORTS  from  local  construction  in- 
terests during:  the  past  week  indicate 
the  industry  is  now  at  the  height  of  the 
season's  activity  and  practically  all  of 
the  elements  and  trades  composing-  the 
industry  are  busy  to  the  limit  of  men  and 
materials.  Considerable  new  work  has 
been  started  during  the  past  week  and 
contracts  recently  awarded  predict  a  con- 
tinuation of  activity  at  the  present  rate 
for  a  long  time  to  come.  Architects  and 
engineers  are  exceptionally  busy  with 
plans  which  include  several  projects  of 
more  than  ordinary  importance  and  in- 
terest and  recently  there  has  been  a  de- 
cided increase  in  the  volume  of  new  work 
released  to  the  trades  for  estimates. 

There  is  practically  no  change  in  the 
building  labor  situation.  In  the  majority 
of  trades  the  supply  of  skilled  mechanics 
is  satisfactory,  but  speculative  builders 
continue  to  pay  bonus  wages  for  brick- 
layers, plasterers,  painters,  etc.,  and  there 
is  no  indication  that  building  labor  costs 
are  to  be  greatly  reduced  during  the  re- 
mainder of   the  year. 

Local  building  material  markets  are  all 
active  and  the  volume  of  business  re- 
ported is  generally  satisfactory.  Prices 
are  somewhat  more  stable  than  they  were 
a  few  weeks  ago  and  the  feeling  is  quite 
g:eneral  that  prevailing  levels  will  con- 
tinue for  some  time  to  come.  The  supply 
situation,  however,  is  favorable  and  de- 
liveries are  being  made  in  practically  all 
lines  without  delay. 

Coninion  Brick — Although  arrivals  of 
new  brick  were  lighter  this  week  than 
they  were  a  week  ago  the  local  whole- 
sale market  has  been  very  active.  This 
commodity  is  now  coming  into  the  mar- 
ket in  sufficient  quantity  to  supply  all 
immediate  requirements  and  as  a  result 
the  recent  shortage  has  been  relieved. 
There  is  now  every  indication  that  all 
need  for  anxiety  over  the  brick  supply  is 
past  and  manufacturers  assure  the  build- 
ing public  that  this  material  will  be  forth- 
coming as  rapidly  as  it  can  be  absorbed 
by  the  industry.  Prices  are  holding  very 
firm  and  there  is  little  prospect  of  a 
lower  price  level  for  some  time  to  come. 
The  heavy  rains  of  the  past  week  have 
retarded  manufacturing  operations  in  the 
open  yards  along  the  Hudson  River  and 
in  a  number  of  instances  have  spoiled  a 
large  amount  of  newly-moulded  brick. 
The  heavy  storm  of  last  Saturday  caused 
particular  damage.  There  is  little  change 
in  the  fuel  situation.  Brick  producers 
are  getting  their  coal  on  a  hand-to-mouth 
basis  and  are  hoping  for  the  early  settle- 
ment of   tlie  strike  of  the  miners. 

Siiiiniiarj' — Transactions     in     the     North 


River  brick  market  for  the  week  ending 
Thursday,  June  22,  1922.  Condition  of 
market:  Demand  active;  prices,  firm  and 
unchanged.  Quotations:  Hudson  Rivers, 
$20  a  tliousand  to  dealers  in  cargo  lots

hattan. 15;  Bronx,  5;  Brooklyn,  16;  New 
Jersey  points,  4;  Tarrytown,  1;  Yonkers,  1. 
Lumber — Business  continues  extremely 
active  in  the  local  lumber  market.  Buy- 
ing is  keen  in  lioth  wholesale  and  retail 
departments  of  trade  and  there  is  promise 
that  the  demand  for  lumber  products  will 


maintain  its  prevailing  intensity  for  some 
time  to  come.  Lumber  requirements  of 
the  construction  industry  are  the  domin- 
ating factor  in  the  lumber  market  at 
present,  but  there  is  a  growing  volume 
of  business  coming  from  manufacturing 
consumers.  Prices  are  very  firm  in  the 
wholesale  market  and  there  is  a  decided 
upward  trend  to  levels.  This  situation 
is  reflected  in  the  retail  trade  where  quo- 
tations are  uniformly  higher  than  they 
were  several  months  ago.  Shipments 
from  production  centers  have  been  regu- 
lar,   but    the   mills   are   getting   far   behind

Stnietiiral  Steel — At  present  the  local 
steel  situation  is  duller  than  it  has  been 
for  several  months  past,  but  there  are 
prospects  of  increased  business  in  the 
near  future.  Quite  a  large  amount  of 
new  construction  is  being-  planned  by 
architects  and  engineers  and  it  is  antici- 
pated that  a  good  percentage  of  this  work 
will  shortly  be  released  for  estimates 
and  bookings  for  the  required  steel  will 
naturally  follow  soon  thereafter.  Re- 
ports from  production  centers  indicate  a 
slowing    down     of    activity    in     the    mills 


because  of  the  serious  coal  situation. 
Prices  are  firm  and  likely  to  hold  to  the 
prevailing  levels  as  the  majority  of  the 
mills  have  considerable  forward  business 
on  their  books  and  are  not  anxious  to 
commit  theinselves  much  further  ahead 
owing  to  the   doubt  as   to   fuel   supplies. 

Builders^  Hardware — The  demand  for 
these  items  is  steadily  increasing  due  to 
the  growing  volume  of  suburban  construc- 
tion and  the  intense  activity  of  the  build- 
ing industry  in  this  city.  Reports  from 
the  manufacturers  are  indicative  of  steady 
progress  in  production,  but  a  number  of 
the   leading  plants   are   getting   behind   on

their  orders.  At  present  local  stocks  are 
fair  and  jobbers  are  in  a  position  to  fill 
orders  promptly,  but  some  doubt  prevails 
as  to  the  ability  of  the  industry  to  keep 
up  with  the  demand  if  it  gains  to  any 
e.xtent.  Prices  are  steady  and  no  im- 
portant changes  are   anticipated. 

Cast  Iron  Pipe — Demand  for  this  mate- 
rial is  very  keen  and  manufacturers  are 
generally  operating  their  plants  on  full 
time.  Although  municipal  buying  is 
lighter  than  anticipated  it  would  be  dur- 
ing the  spring  months  private  purchas- 
ers are  making  heavy  inroads  on  the 
available  supply  and  pipe  mills  are 
hooked  several  months  ahead.  Prices  are 
very  firm  with  New  York  quotations  as 
follows:  6  in.  and  larger,  $50.80  per  net 
ton;  4  in.  and  5  in.,  $55.50;  3  in.,  $65.80. 
and  Class  A  and  gas  pipe  $4  extra  per 
ton. 

Window  Glass — Buying  has  increased 
to  some  extent  during  the  past  week  or 
so  with  the  greatest  demand  coming  from 
speculative  builders  who  have  apartment 
house  projects  in  nearing  the  final  stages 
of  construction.  There  is  a  developing 
diflnoulty  in  obtaining  plate  glass  because 
of  the  demands  of  the  automobile  manu- 
facturing industry,  but  ordinary  window 
glass  is  plentiful  and  its  supply  adequate 
for  all  requirements.  Prices  are  fairly 
steady  and  no  changes  have  been  re- 
ported. 

Linseed  Oil — The  market  has  improved 
somewhat  during  the  week  with  demand 
slightly  heavier  and  the  outlook  more 
favorable  for  active  business  conditions 
during  the  summer  and  autumn  months. 
Prices   are   slightly   weaker. 

Nails — The  demand  is  fairly  active  at 
present  and  jobbers  look  for  a  continua- 
tion of  the  favorable  niarket  they  have 
enjoyed  for  some  months  past.  Supplies 
are  adequate  for  all  demands  and  dealers 
are  experiencing  no  difficulty  in  keeping 
their  assortments  up  to  par.  Prices  are 
firm  and  without  change  although  con- 
cessions are  obtainable  on  large  orders. 
Electrical  Supplies — .No  change  of  im- 
portance has  occurred  in  the  market  for 
electrical  supplies  during  the  past  week. 
r>emand  continues  brisk  and  both  manu- 
facturers and  jobbers  anticipate  steady 
business  throughout  the  remainder  of  the 
summer.  The  local  construction  program 
is  now  well  advanced  and  requirenients 
from  this  source  are  steadily  growing  in 
volume.  Considerable  business  is  also 
coming  from  repair  work.  Prices  on  elec- 
trical materials  are  generally  firm  and 
there  is  no  immediate  prospect  of  a  soften- 
ing in  values.  Stocks  are  adequate  for  all 
demands  and  the  tone  of  the  industry  is 
optimistic.

A  Clean  Building 


We  clean  masonry  of  every  type, 

A  clean  building  will  sell  or  rent  as  well 
as  a  new  building.  In  appearance  it  is  a 
new  building,  for  cleaning  restores  the 
original  freshness  of  color.
