plan is being followed almost generally in
latter-day apartment house building, and
at the present time there are very few
new structures which do not show evil
dences of the most careful treatment by
the architects and the builders.
Gettysburg Apartments of New Type
One of the latest plans of apartment
house construction in the smaller apart
ments particularly. Is to give the build
ings the outward appearance of large
private dwellings, and SO thoroughly has
this illusion been carried out in some in
stances that it is next to impossible for
the unframed eye to tell at a glance that
these buildings are designed to accom-
modate many families rather than one
Among the newest structures of this type
is the Gettysburg Apartment house, which
is situated at the corner of Ontario road
and Lanier place, just south Of the On
tario apartments. The building is of the
popular Spanish style of architecture, and
it was designed by B. Stanley Simmons
house planning. The Gettysburg con-
tains four three and four room and bath
apartments on each of Its floors. There
are no interior courts in the building, so
that all rooms are light and we'll
Ventilated. Both gas and electricity are
used for lighting, and the building Is
heated by steam. Although the structure
was completed only a week ago, Boss &
Phelps, the agents, stated yesterday that
fully half of the apartments have been
leased.

WILL BUILD LARGE STORE.
McCorrey & Co. Lease Property fo1
New Establishment.

The growing Importance Of 7th street
as a mercantile center was well en-
phasized in an important real estate
transaction of the current week by which
]. G. McCorrey & Co. secured a twenty
year lease on the four stores 800 TO 826
7th street northwest. The. four struc-
lures are the property of Moses Golden
berg of Baltimore. and the deal was con-
summated through the Offices of B. How
ard Richards of that city. It is under
stood the rental for the term Of the
lease will approximate 100000.
McCorrey & Co. are among the largest
operators in the country of five and ten
cent stores. and they have a chain of
about sixty such establishments scat
tered through the principal cities OF the
United States. Possession of the prop
erty will be given about October 1. and
1t is said to be the purpose of the lessee
to remove the present structures on the
site and to build in their stead a large
establishment in which, all floors may be
utilized for the display and sale of mer-
chandise Building operations will be
started as soon as practicable after Nc
Corey & Co. secure possession of the
property. so that the new store may be
ready for opening about the first Of next

types of apartments constructed in the
city since this class of building sprang
into popularity for residential purposes.
In some of the earlier apartments little
attention was paid to external ornamental
ton, and in quite a number the chief end
in view seemed to be the utilizing of all
possible renting space within four square
walls.
AS apartments have steadily increased
in popularity, however, the builders and
owners have sought to incorporate all
sorts of modern improvements. SO that
they might have the advantage of the
natural appeal Of fine architecture to
the esthetic tastes Of their tenants. This

statistics from the Department of Conn
MERGE and Labor shows that the impor-

interesting, but they will doubtless point
a different lesson to different persons.
Some will see in them an evidence Of re-

IN them evidence Of the increased ex-
traya1ance of the rich. 1t is easy to find
some truth and some error in the gener-
situations on both sides of any question.
But it is an undeniable fact that the
Community. like the individual which
snencs its surplus in luxuries finds itself
hard up in the end, while that which

NEW Y0RK'S DOCK FACILITIES
Anticipated and Costly Methods
Which Should Be Reformed.
From the Outlook.


Commissioner Tomkins of the New
York city department Of docks and fer
ries has submitted to the mayor a pre-
liminary report on transportation condi-
tons at the port of New York. Although
no other port in the world compares with
New York in extent of accessible dock
facilities for ocean-going vessels or in
other natural advantages, there are sew.
erai seaport terminals in northern Europe
and one or two in South America that are
far more scientifically equipped. For the
handling Of freight New York Is still
dependent on antiQuated and costly
methods. The city. has leased it's docks
to individual corporations for long terms
Of years, and each dock is operated as a
unit without regard to the general trans
portation needs Of the community, where
as each should be made to subserve the
wants of all the various interests in
volved, the water front being treated as
whole and not as series of unrelated
For transferring freight from the pier to
the warehouse or factory, the New York
merchant or manufacturer is still re-
stricted to the use of trucks, just as he
was century ago. Naturally there is
congestion at the piers, which are used
AN6S ~ SSAAAAAA~NA
ties, and frequently there are serious de-
lays. Many of the piers are now occu-
pied by railway companies and the New
York Central operates a direct rail con-
nection between its main line and the
water front. Commissioner Tomkins now
proposes joint railway terminal installa-
ticn on the North river, to include piers
connected by rail to yards and storage
warehouses and factories. and thence
by rail to transfer yards. where cars
could be loaded with the products and
run by means OF floats to their destina-
ton. An important feature Of the plan is
an elevated freight railway having con-
nections with each of the terminal build
ings. This, like all the terminal struc-
lures, would be financed by the city, and
Mr.. Tomkins holds that such a proceeding
would be feasible as result Of recent
legislation excluding self-sustaining dock
bonds from the debt limit. Like other
students of New York's transportation
problems, Mr.. Tomkins believes that some
day freight tunnels will have to be built
for communication between Manhattan.
Brooklyn, the Bronx and Staten Island
but as long as car floats are employed he
would SO locate the terminals that they
can subsequently be conveniently con-
nected by tunnels. 1t is significant that
the city is at last working out a compre-
hensive scheme for correlating and mod
ernizing New York's terminal facilities.

STATISTICS Of BUILDING.
U. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY IS
SUES INTERESTING REPORT.
COMPARISONS of Activities in Fifty
One Cities-Large Increases
Shown for the Year 1909.

The United States geological survey has
issued a statement giving comparisons of
building operations in fifty-one cities for
four years.
The increases and decreases for indi-
vidual cities in 1909 compared with 1908
are not significant, because 1908 was not
a normal year. The largest increase re-
ported for 1908 was s. 40. or 1878
per cent, by Chicago, and the next larg-
est was A.446. 700. or 3.92 per cent, by
New York; the increases in 1909 by these
two cities were, respectively. SIS, O03, $50.
or 465 per cent, and $6S, 22s,O95, or 57,91
per cent.
Brooklyn, which has the largest in
crease $25, 427 .6OD in 1908, showed the
third largest gain in 19O9-$fs, 402, COL.
Some Decreases Listed.
OF the cities that showed. decreases in
19O9 San Francisco had the largest,
s.. 484,273 or 1892 per cent: Dayton was
next, with 1888, $50. or 47.42 per cent,
the largest proportional decrease, and
Oakland was third with S1,OO2.Oo1, or 1885
per cent The decreases in these cities
may be ascribed to local causes. The
significant decrease in San Francisco in
dicates that the building activities of that
city probably have reached a nearly nor
NAL condition after the abnormal con-
dition following the great fire.
The average cost of operations under
the total permits issued in the fifty-one
cities was $3,616 in 1909. against $3.243 in
1908. In New York the average cost per
building was $24,3S7 in 1909, against $19,
3O5 in 1903; in Chicago 1t was A,341 in
1909. against 1921 in 1908; in Brooklyn
$4,872 in 1909. against $3.50 in 1908; in
Philadelphia s.. $50 In 1909. against s., 1O7
