VIDE LOIS AND SHALLOW HOUSES

/ WIDE LUIG AM ohhLLOV hNIpASb
Discussing the future development Of the
city above the Harlem River, Mayor Grant the
other day suggested the advantage Of laying
| out and subdviding the residence property in
that section upon new system. lie said 10
substance that he should like to see houses built
wider and shallOwer, and no was convinced
that the beauty, as we'll as the comfort and
health, Of the city would be promoted thereby.
The houses themselves need be no more eX.
pensve for equivalent accommodations ana
they would contain no darlc'rOOms, but the lots
instead Of being twenty-five feet wide would,
according to his plan, BIO fifty, The logical In
ference from the Mayors observation, though
he did not carry the subject TO that point Is
that he would have the lots as well as the houseS
one-half the ordinary depth, for otherwise his
suggestion could be practically seconded only
BY those who can afford TO buy twice as much
land as they require. But II the lots are to be
only one-half % deep the streets must be twice
as numerous, or In other words, the blocks one
half the present length; and this suggests
several interesting and important considera-
tons.
In the first place, II twice as much land were
taken for streets the residue would naturally
rise in value increased expenditure for public
purposes would increase taxation correspond
ingly, md the cost of living would be enhanced
in the same proportion. The shape Of the city
Is the one great obstacle in the way Of would-bc
householders of moderate means, and II Is hard
10 see how It can be escaped by any new device
Of subdivision and construction. The necessity
Of rigid economy Of space Is chiefly responsible
for tho tircsome uniformity Of design which
has hitherto prevailed aud the avoidance Of
which IL now the chief concern Of progressive
arbitectA No doubt the appearance OF the
upper part Of New-York might be vastly i'm
proved II the owners of unimproved property
should combine to build on or sell only fifty
foot lots with restrictions against further sub
division, and II In consequence houses were
broader and not so deep, and possibly detached
or semi detached. But such q system OF con-
struction on lots OF the present depth would be
adapted only for the rich, while the plan OF
doubling the number Of streets would, as we
have suggested involve many serious prob
lens and is not at all likely to be entertained
