city. and there is no question about the
healthfulness of the district. The
danger of the section being submerged
in a great mercantile movement is past.
The village will continue to grow in
creditable manner in every possible
building way. II is going to be one OF
the most valuable and noteworthy
centres as regards the number OF Its
high class non-elevator apartment
houses. Its growth, too, as an indus
trial centre will become more vigorous.
Home development will not be affected
but benefited by the industrial eXpan-
sion"
Proof that the village is gaining in
power and attractiveness as bigger
residential place is at hand. In the
last two years much more money has
been spent for the erection of modern
tenement houses than for commercial
buildings. So far this year the esti-
mated cost of all structures planned
for sites in the village is S60o,OOO, and
of that sum S455,00 is TO be spent IN
putting up structures of the resi-
Dental class. Only $4,000 will be eX-
pended in the erection of factory
building The classification and loca-
ton and cost Of the buildings project
ed this year are as follows:
Twelve story hotel in Fifth av $4,000

The realty statistics for the village
for 1913 show that the sum OF S33O,OOU
was the estimated cost of all the build
ines projected for the section IN that
wear. and Of that amount only S2b.O0O
was spent for q new loft. The 1913
buildings planned and built in the sec
ton are as follows:
Group of six story fsthouses
at Thompson st. and WASH

These facts and figures are taken
from the big batch of papers relating
to building operations in Manhattan
this and last year, and, owing to the
number of plans and the irregular
boundaries of the village, a fact which
had TO be constantly kept uppermost
in mind in picking out the projects for
the district, another careful eXamlna-
ton of the documents may result IN
changing the totals, but the new totals
would not materially alter the new
picture which the tables form of the
growth in the last two years of the
Greenwich Village section.
As the boundaries of Greenwich Viii
lage are not fixed by law, like the Dor
der line of the greater city, 1t may be
hard to find two real estate men who
will name the same streets as being
lust outside the area. Here the village
proper is considered to be bordered on
the south by Spring ST., on the west by
the North River, on the east by West
north by l4th st. In that section there
are about 500 acres.
