Bronx Builders Planning
Houses to Meet Probable
Larger Demands.
RUSH EXPECTED
EARLY NEXT YEAR
Cost of Structures Much Higher
than Buildings Lately
Put Up.

The most promising place in the
realm Of realty to-day is The Bronx
says the real estate bureau Of the
Bronx Beard Of Trade. The bureau and
many officials Of the borough predict
that the borough this year will sur
pass by many figures its building rec
ord Of last year
From January l 10 February -"
says the realty bureau Of the Bronx
Board Of Trade, plans were filed for
So apartment houses. 70 be erected at
total cost Of S2,774,30O. OF these,
the total for January was 30 apart
ments. IT, the first two weeks IN Feb
ruary the number OF plans fled was
therefore 80 apartments, or more
than the January total.
This increase in building operations
indicates that the 1915 crop of houses
will cost more than S30000,000, an in
crease of between $l2,000,000 and Sl5,-
100000 over the preceding year.
These apartments will accommodate
CLOG persons. so that the trainers OF
new construction in the first six weeks
Of the new year are anticipating IN n
practical way the great inflow Of popu-
lation expected with the completion o.
the new rapid transit lines during the
carly part If 1916.
The total value Of plans filed for
January was S2,012.250. and Tor the
first two weeks in February Sl,602,0OO,
being a total Of S3.674,250.
1T is interesting TO note that while
the number Of buildings has not in
creased o per cent over the same pc
Rod Of 1914, the amount Of money to
be expended in their erection is nearly
double that of 1914, indicating clearly
that builders have reached the con-
clusion that the day of the very cheap
type Of fiat building is thing Of the
past in the borough, and that the more
luxurious elevator apartment has at
last come into its own in The Bronx.
Experts of the realty bureau of the
Bronx Board Of Trade do not believe
that the rentals of the new houses will
be much higher than the prevailing
charges. as NEST of the houses will be
in newly developing sections, where
land values are not nearly as hlgn as
the older sections of the borough.
THE erection Of these superior
apartments will do much to clarity the
industrial situation in the borough, as
workers will be able TO live IN health
full and cheerful apartments and thus
escape the Inconvenience and annoy
ances met by many who live IN the
crowded parts of the town.
Building operations in The Bronx
during the last fourteen years have
amounted to approximately s325,OOO,-
600. The following table compiled by
the Bureau Of Buildings in The Bronx
Borough shows the yearly growth in
new buildings erected since 1899. and
their cost:

s5OO,OOO LOFT FOR
LONG ISLAND CITY
Plans Filed for Building
Which Will Occupy an
Entire Block.

One Of the largest additions 70 the
automobile centre in Queens was made
last week, when the Everett Realty and
Construction Company, Of this city, OF
which Ludwig Stein is president and
Samuel Knopf treasurer, filed plans for
a twelve story loft building to be erect

block. The floors will be adapted Tor
manufacturing purposes. The plans
present many unusual features. A
driveway through the building, con
meeting Jackson Avenue with Tenth
Street, will allow the loading and un-
loading from trucks directly TO the four
large service elevators. A large auto
mobile elevator. accessible from the
street. will enable auto trucks 70 be
carried 20 various floors.
The floors are so arranged as 10 be
readily subdivided into two parts. Laws
and regulations governing the erection
of loft buildings have been incorpo-
rated. Three staircases and two fire
towers will provide means Of exit for
the three hundred workers permitted
on each floor. Four steel pressure
tanks. each containing 5000 gallons, are
located on the roof 20 feed an approved
sprinkler system. No wood whatever
will be used in the construction of the
building Granite, tapestry brick and
terra Gotta will be in the design Of the
facades. Walter Haefeli. OF this city,
is the architect, and has placed the cos.
OF the building At $500 900. The Hasco

the way of apartment houses and tene-

"In other words, The Bronx with
the exception of certain sections of
Washington Heights is the one Dor
ough where the operator can finance
his projects with the aid Of borrowed
money. and this is because houses and
stores are occupied as fast as they are
completed. There is no cry Of over

York City, says Joseph Cirrito, a well
known builder Of that city.
He has n plan to offer 70 the city
officials, which he thinks will bring
handsome profits and help to carry out
other improvements and reduce tax
rates. He suggests that the city build
thirty apartment houses Of six stories
without iron frames, each on plot
100 bv 100 feet, TO cost 100000 each,
or a total in all of s3,000,0OO, these
buildings 10 be leased as a whole,
thereby saving the city the trouble OF
collecting rents.
Mr.. Cirrito says that If law was
passed allowing buildings OF inns
height without iron frames 10 be erect
ed, it would draw many builders and
investors from other cities.
He declares that the profits from the
operation would help pay for the NIL
inc in OF the Hackensack meadows, and
offers number of suggestions for the
Improvement Of this land, such as
docks. an automobile racetrack and
baseball park.
Mr.. Cirrito points out the advantages
OF Jersey City's nearness 20 the down
town business section OF New YORK,
which he says can be reached by tunnel
in few minutes.
at present builders must pr
I'D buildings Of over five stories with
steel frame construction, which makes
them more expensive than similar
buildings in New York. It compels the
owners 20 lose the advantage Of their
cheaper land, for they must build only
four and FIVE story buildings, which do
not give rent enough TO pay as they
should"
Mr.. Cirrito gives the following an
nual expenses for one Of the houses
he suggested:
