up apartment houses on Manhattan ISL
and and in The Bronx. Brooklyn and the
other two boroughs of the city, the oc-
casion will not be record one as regards

homes by tomorrow night The reasons
for this are said TO be the small number
Of high class apartment houses put up I'm
the last year, as compared with the more
prosperous realty years. and the larger
attractiveness of the suburbs TO many
apartment house jewellers.
The costliest apartment house ever built
in this city was ready for occupancy last
fall. This year there is ready for tenancy
the tallest apartment house In the world.
II Is at the northeast corner Of 18th street

reduced TO the new rates
