waris has driven out a class of tenementhouso
perieoted INSTRUMENTATION inc,Ites Of the twenty.
third and Twenty fourth wards have drawn some
OF this class 70 those wa rds and others have gone
TO brooklyn This exodus was perhaps hastcned
by the enormous amount Of building now under
way in all the cIty's suburbs, providing work for
thousands OF laborerS"
Another explanation OF this net decrease Ia to
h" o In the fact that while last year largs
numbers of the unemployed found lodging with
families in apnrtmen,s on the asst side, these
temporary inhab tRnts are now al work and hav,
found no es elsewhere Whatever the reasons
for the loss may be- il Is the general belief among
real estate agents that Manhatt has lost largely
OF her nhab tants to Brooklyn and the Bronx.
1ny the 81 the Sa city
was In the 7 wcltth the largest Of the twenty two
wards The increase there 8 easily explained by
has been vast amount Of building In progress
there and II is probable that the complete censu4
crease in population. s0s there were 10 O25
tenements in the ward. while the number up to the
end Of June this year was lo5O4 an Increase Of
same period was $3.50
The second greatest increase in tenement house
population is found In the Twenty second ward
An increase over 1903 OF IA 266 persons is shown.
7 he reason Is perhaps Ia be found in tho fact that
the building Of immense apartment houses has
been going on there Tor some time, MANY Of these
having been completed since Jan l. Flat bull
ing has been equally noticeable and the district
ishf red ono in many other WAYS
The lower wards Of the city on tho East Side
show big ccrcaSea with the exception Of tho
Eleventh neSe decreases are lue To tho In
creased value Of lots and to increased rents, and
the exodus 30 the suburbs The increase in tho
Eleventh ward has been brought about by low
rents and by a biz influx Of lteliau residents
The tenement houses in this ward are also newer
and more attractive
The wards Of tho lower West Side, with tho
exception Of the Second and Fifth. show uniform,
though comparatively small, increases In these
wards there HIS been distinct influx Of popu-
IL due 10 the better cond ton Of streets and houses
and az tho Same time 70 lower rontS The lower
district OF tho West Side have beon dormant
for years but speculative real estate men are
lust now learning of cOnd tons there andevcty-
thing portends greater increases in the future
In general the west dr Of the city shows the
greatest gains in population, due, in the lower
part Of the city 10 superior Typographical CON
d,tons aud lower rents and IN the upper districts
10 equally good physical Cond ions, combined
with the coastGnt construction Of hundreds OF
