OLD DISTRICT
STILL in FAVOR
Boston Concern and Ward
Shoe Company Lease
Duane st. Space.

Gratifying evidence that the old shoe
district is still in favor was seen re,
Gently when the downtown office OF
Cross & Brown leased the store and
basement at Nos l2l and 123 Duane
ST.. containing $4,000 square feet OF
space. to q large Boston shoe house
and also leased. with J. n. HALEY q
Son, 1880 square feet of space IN the
same building to the Ward Shoe Com
pany. Further assurance that important
houses are anxious to remain on Duane
St. east of Hudson ST., provided they
can get modern and larger buildings
was also lately given by large rubber
shoe house having a group of old build
ings remodelled for its permanent use.
Until recently there was an erroneous
idea in realty circles that the shoe
trade was leaving this old centre in
Duane st. between Broadway and west
Broadway for the grocery district along
the line of Hudson st.
Arrangements have been nearly COM
pleted by Cross & Brown for the cree
ton in this centre of a salesroom
building to be used largely by the boot
and shoe trade and kindred business.
The activity in this district is typical
of other downtown localities where

Many New Apartment

launched This Year Totals
ManY Millions.

Millions have already been spent this
year in erecting apartment houses on
Fordham Heights. one Of the most
fascinating and rapidly growing resi-
Dental sections Of The Bronx. Fur
therm6re, it has the distinction of be
ing just at present place with
greater volume Of home building than
ANY other part of tins city. This rs not
due to a speculative building furry Of
the wildcat kind, but il is the result OF
the stupendous dual subway system
tasks that are being carried out. and
that will bring every block OF this cen
tire within the rapid transit system of
the metropolis. Therefore, this terri
tory Of unquestioned healthfulncss and
unusual charms for home builders is
opening up TO thousands Of persons
who previously could not find suitable
accommodations in this centre, and If
they had been able TO do so they
they would not have been able, owing
to inadequate transit links, to live
there
Just as predicted some months ago,
the drift of homeseekcrs to the Ford
ham Heights section has already set IN
strong. And with each succeeding day
there are increasing and unmlStakable
signs that there will be few vacant
apartment house suites in the new

1.-THE experience of the progressive
owner of Is Warren st. should be
valuable object lesson to the downtown
market" says a well known real estate
broker. This owner had an old type:
25 by 100 feet building with good
enough appurtenances, including a
steam elevator. He believed, however.
that a building having the best Of
everything and equal to a new building
would be a benefit to the declining
neighborhood and establish his revenue
on a secure basis. The building is near
ly finished. and the Cross & Brown
Company has within the last week
closed a fve-year lease for several Of
the lofts, putting the building on 90
per cent rental basis. One Of the ten
ants of this building had decided to
move uptown, but found he could get
what he needed in Warren St. and
closed a lease for five years"

In 1896 the Real Estate Board OF
Brokers was organized. with william
II. Folsom as its first president. IL was
located at 50 Liberty Street, the NOME
Of the old exchange. A..
In 1898 the board moved to the
Trinity Building, Mt Ill Broadway. ms
building was demolished in 1904 TO
make way for the present TRINITY
building. and the board moved to the
old Boreel Building, at lib Broadway
When that building was torn down, IN
1oO6 another move was made to the
Haight Building, $50 Broadway. and
from there the board moved back, IN
1910. TO the present location IN me
United States Realty Building. at li51
broadway, built on the site OF the OLD
Poreel building. The Real Estate
BOARD Of Brokers was incorporated IN
1908.
On June 26, 1918. at special meet
ing amendments to the constitution
we're made and the name changed to the
Real Estate Board of New York. Asso-
ciate members were admitted and other
restrictions to legitimate growth were
removed. -

apar,ment houses when the first snow
OF the winter season falls. quite
number Of the new houses had ie"
weeks ago waiting lists of applicants
and since then more houses have neeh
comnletcly rented. and their llsts OF
applicants are large.
If the majority Of city residents Who
are apartment house dwelers were
aware of the splendid building trans
formation that has taken place IN the
centre and what a great benehcmry the
section will be under the dual subway
plan il is likely that there would ne
such n demand for Fordham Heights
homes that il would require the SER

construction men in town 10 meet IL
promptly or as quickly as possioIe'
The truth is that old Gotham is so
broad and long that only a compare
tivelv small number of its inhabitants
have known until recently OF the sulta-
blcness Of Fordham Heights as place
for the erection of up-to-datc apart
mont houses. South of Chambers
Street there are many landlords VINO
say they have not crossed the Central
Rridcc or gone over any other route TO
tho West Bronx IN many years, ana
they are no more in touch with realty
affairs there than the beginner IN real
~. On the other hand, there are also
south of Chambers Street some brokers
who have only journeyed to the south,
westerly part OF The Bronx by way OF
the Broadway subway. They were not
on business bent. but to play COLL on
the Van Cortlandt links. If scores OF
real estate men are strangers IN TINS
beautiful territory, il is not surprising
to meet large numbers of other people
who have never set foot on the Grand
boulevard and ConcOurse, nor seen the
artistic and detached frame dwellings,
that border for many blocks University
Avenue. nor enjoyed a walk on ana
near the grounds of the New YORK I'M
versity. and who are unacQualnted with
the Fordham Heights territory.
THE neglect that Fordham Heights
suffered up TO few years ago at the
hands of the city has been turned INTO
a blessing" is the way a foremost real
estate operator has expressed the SIT
nation I'M the West Bronx. There are
vast stretches of vacant land in the ter
ritorv ready for immediate improve
ment.

RED CROSS Is HELPLESS
Ala In Mexico Like Pouring water

washington, Jtfy S.%Until q
radical change has been effected In
conditions in Mexico the Red Cross
will not attempt 70 expand and may
not continue the famine relief work
initiated there following President
Wilson's appeal to the country OF a
month ago. With Mexico in control
of armed factions which prevent the
majority Of the people from culti-
walton OF the land or other tasks
necessary to their maintenance
with these forces making 1t impos-
sible for the Red Cross to get
access to the places at which the
distress is most acute, and even In
some cases positively obstructing
relief work; with food being sold
out of Mexico to furnish gold to the
factions. while the Red Cross was
shipping It into Mexico. and with
the Red Cross unable to exercise
its customary control and supervi-
sion of relief operations, those IN
authority in the organization reach
ed the conclusion that real Red
Cross work was practically out OF
the question until conditions have
been altered.

the survivors.
