INSURED MORTGAGE PLAN
Homes in Brooklyn Being Bought
Under Such Scheme.

| Considerable interest was aroused in
building circles last fall when the Metro
politan Life Insurance Company announced
its intention of insuring the first and sec
ond mortgages Of certain houses to be
built in the park section Of Mapleton,
Brooklyn. The mere rumor that such an
arrangement was contemplated brought
forth hundreds OF inquiries from intending
purchasers OF one family houses, but ow-
ing to certain unexpected obstacles the
plan did not at once assume definite form.
In fact It was not until the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company, In the course Of
It's general welfare work, sent DR.. Lee K.
Franke one of its secretaries. abroad to
study the model housing conditions of Ger
many and Belgium that the insured mort
gage plan came into existence in this
country.
Negotiations were finally completed in
the early spring OF the current year be-
tween the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company and the Alco Building Company,
associated with the Realty Trust, with the
result that the building company is now
completing fifty fine homes in 67th street,
betne cen Twenty-frst and Twenty-second
avenues, Brooklyn. These houses were
planned and built under the supervision
OF the head architect and expert building
inspectors OF the Metropolitan Life lnsur-
ance Company, which reserved the right
to throw out any OF the building material
that did not meet their demands. Twenty
| five houses are now nearing completion
| eleven Of which have already been sold TO
select persons. The other twenty-five
structures will be completed shortly, and
like the fret series, will be sold with the
| life insurance protection, which operates
about as follows
Each Alec house carries a twenty year
| first mortgage Of 1880 and a twelve year
second mortgage OF $3.50 both OF which
are fully insured for the entire periods or
their respective terms by the Metropolitan
| Life Insurance Company, which itself holds
the first mortgage. The second mortgage
is held by the Realty Trust The insur-
ance feature which Is included in the cost
OF the house $500. provides that In case
the purchaser's death occurs AZ any time
within twenty years from date Of purohaF"
all unpa!d mortgages or parts OF unpaid

encumbrances. The period Of payments
is wisely distributed, so that the aYe:2c7
navment for the entire twenty years IS
only about sS7 per month, and this amount
includes the interest and principal on both
mortgages. water, taxes and fire and Ike
insurance.

would have preferred To continue 10 trans

have always been situated IN that borough,

must have their shops north or south Of
the Harlem River.

But other things were not equal
"Thcy have been driven out Of Manhat-

I'm Brooklyn they expect 20 obtain better
shipping and storage facilities at smaller
cost. and these advantages will constitute
sufficient compensation for some incon-
veniences IN other respects on ;hC other
hand, they would probably have remained
in Manhattan I'm case that borough was
provided with modern and economical
system for the transportation, handling

III the plans Of Dock Commissioner
Tomkins had been carried out. there is no
reason why these wholesale grocery firms
should have decided 10 move. Doubtless
their rentals would have been heavier In
that case, but a central location would
have been worth more II only they could
have had a similarly convenient machinery

The superb location OF Kew Gardens, on
one OF the highest elevations in Queens
County, Long Island. together with its
great natural beauty and nearness to Man
haitian. being only fifteen minutes by the
Long Island Railroad. has warranted its
upbuilding with homes OF the highest char
acter. Kew Gardens is part Of an old pri-
vate estate, and Is being improved by the
family OF It's original owner. Nineteen new
homes OF harmonizing architecture. costing
from $500 to $4,000. are nearing compile
ton. Eight substantial new houses are
about to be erected. some Of which have
already been sold from the plans.
June has been q noteworthy month at
Kew Gardens, seeing the completion Of
