HAVE BUILT MANY
BIG PRINTERIES
Activity of Messrs. Lar.
kin, Who Are to I'M
prove Block Front.

The 46l Eighth Avenue Realty Com
pany, which is going t. erect twenty
two story printery on the block front
on the west side of Eighth aV between
33d and Saith sts., at cost u more
than S2,500,000, is composed of tt 'r1as
A. and Edward l.. Larkin and other in
terests.
On the block front to be improved,
which measures 197.6x120 feet, are an
old six story store building, known as
the Haeger Storage Warehouse, and
two old private dwellings altered for
business. These buildings will be torn
down on May l, 1915, when existing
leases expire.
The design of the printery will be
simple, and will harmonic with the
Pennsylvania station and the Postof
fee. The facade will be of granite on
three sides up TO the fourth floor, above
that plain gray face brick, with band
courses of fine white terra Gotta at the
fourth and seventeenth floors, and a
substantial balustrade above the TWEEN
tieth floor. All the roof tanks will be
inclosed, and on the twenty-second
floor, above the restaurant, will be
erected photograph galleries and
studios for the use of certain tenants
The persons who will erect the
building are just completing the fifteen
story printery at 406 to 426 West 3lst
St, opposite the west end Of the Post
Office and short distance away from
the Saith st. operation. This building
has frontage of $50 feet, and until
the Eighth av. front is improved will
have the distinction Of being the larg-
est structure of its kind in town.
Under various corporate names the
Messrs Larkin have been instrumental
in carrying through many big construc-
tion enterprises in the Pennsylvania
zone in recent years, except those han
died by big printing and publishing
concerns, who have put up their own
homes. Their first trade operation was
the eight story building, at Ais to 42i
I West 26th ST., l25XlO0 feet, which was
! leased to the Rome Metallic Bed Com
pany for twenty-one years on a net
basis. The upper floors in the build
/ ing were sublet to the Isaac II. Blanch-
ard Company, for many years In Canal
, St, and the completed building sold to
George Loft.
The second operation was the thir-
/ teen story structure on plot l3lX9s9
/ feet, at 424 TO 43s West SD ST., running
| through 10 the Pennsylvania Railroad
excavation. This building was leased
to the Library Bureau, Geese Wilkinson
I Company, and other leading firms, and
last year was sold TO Joseph Guinet.
Two years ago the Larkins acquired
the eleven lots at 400 to 426 West 3lst
St, and last spring began construction OF
the fifteen story printery now nearing
completion there. The lower six floors
were leased from the plans TO the
American Bookbindery, for many years
in Cherry ST.. by Fenimore c. Goode
of the Brett & Goode Co., who reports
that practically all the remaining lofts
are expected to be leased by March /.

Amendments Desired So as
to Revive Building of
3-Family Houses.

A committee Of the Brooklyn Real
Estate Board is working energetically
TO have the tenement house law amend
ed so il would be possible TO construct
a new type OF three family house and
also to alter old one or two family
dwelling houses into structures for
three families. II comprises A. j. Wal
dron. chairman; James b. Fisher, Jo-
seph VI. May. George II. Gray and Rob
ert A. Wright.
No other borough of the greater city
has so many old dwelling and three
story houses that could be quickly
made into servicesble three family
houses as Brooklyn. This change can
not now be made so that the houses
could be rented at "a low and profitable
figure.
The committee acknowledges that the
opposition TO changing the law is
strong. Yet il hopes TO win the fight
that il is making for many property
owners. 1t favors the erection of fewer
Of the large apartment houses with
rooms for many families.
There are three classes of houses
suitable for three families" says the
committee. "The buildings in question
are old residences in the older parts
Of the city that cannot be profitably
rented as single or two family struc-
lures, and three story store properties
in neighborhoods in which storekeepers
cannot afford 10 rent rooms outside OF
store premises. If the storekeeper lives
upstairs in the building or elsewhere
he has TO pay rent for his living rooms
like the majority of persons, whereas
If his fiat was in the rear Of his store
the rent for the store would be in
cluded in the charges for the living
rooms. The other class of suitable
buildings, 1t seems needless TO say, are
new three family houses.
"A pertinent question TO be answered
now is, Shall we have city with tene-
nient houses Of from twenty TO thirty
families or shall we be allowed 10 use
our old homes and build three family
buildings that are safe, sanitary and
have good light and air. but are not

By ANDREW ]. KERwIN. JR.

ton Of such vital importance 20 them.

city as n solution OF the conhictlng
and unjust violations placed by the
various departments.
One OF the outrageous customs OF
the Department Of Labor is the placing
Of notices in loft and factory build
ings without first notifying the owners
OF same. The owners should be al
fordcd an opportunity Of bringing their
buildings up 10 the requirements, so
that the lofts could be rented for as
much income as was originally re
ceived.
The only satisfaction you can get
out Of the departments is that they
are carrying out the law. The law
means justice. Is II justice TO post
notices that will iniure and reduce the
income Of an owners property without
first giving him an opportunity OF
making the changes required By the
so-called law? The murderer Is not
electrocutcd without being given far
trial. Here is a case where dama"e Is
done 10 the taxpayers and builders
who ere improving the city, giving EN-,
plovrnent TO thousands Of laborers and
mechanics, without giving the owners
fair trial. II is too late to give y
Rfterward, because. as in my case. the
very fact of the notices having been
placed in the lofts has caused the loss
