, Where such an opportunity for large
scale efficiency exists as to permit OF n
unified transportation system. 1t Is
needless to say that other utilities. as
heat, light, power and communication
will be most economically supplied.
These economies will be highly apprc-
clated by the clothing manufacturing
trade. which Is seriously In need of
them. for there are few manufactur-
ing interests In the world to-day that
are suffering from as high overhead
expenses In the way Of rent. taxes. in
surance. power. light and haulage.
The exorbitant cost Of these items
when O factory Is operated in New
York's Fifth n ONCE and shop
ping district Is partly responsible for
the sending out OF tho work to the
contract shops. a system that the
workmen are bitterly fighting, for with
II goes all that is bad In the sweating
OF labor.
This u~neconomical Industrial sys-
tenn has grown up because clothing Is
an article which when sold, even in a
wholesale way. must carry with it
something Of a suggestion of style and
quality. Because of the value OF n
good location and of modern buildings
To the selling end of the industry, as
we'll as because OF the actual advan-
taScs OF modern concrete loft build
ings to the work and to the workers.
the garment trades moved into New
fork's uptown. II they are TO move
again. II should be into something bet
ter. not something worse.
The construction OF an IDEAL garment
city In Long Island would make such a
move for the better possible. The fac
tory buildings that are proposed for
the Long Island Garment City will be
very now and exceedingly modern. No
ono can get a glimpse OF the Loose
Wiles biscuit factory without a feeling
that the concern and the product are
the very latest words In the world of
biscuits. Likewise, whatever tin toy
mental associations may have been at
tachcd to the Ford car, a visit to tho
Ford factory In Detroit leaves one with
"A ems that the Ford car is a big thing
and that its owner is an industrial
genius.
These halos of quality that hang
about a product because of the place
of It's origin are half the battle OF
craftsmanship. The manufacturing end
OF the clothing trade has never prop
erly awaited itself OF such advantages.
1t has attempted to appear as some
thing other than n mandatory by In
trud!ng into skyscrapers and tho up
per floors of stores. But I'm all this
there has been from the manufacturing
sense an air Of smallncss II not OF
temperatures.
Clothing factories have seemed to be
rooms where workers are packed In
like cardincs and driven like galley
slaves, Strikers, reformcrs, agltators.

streets and crowded docks over which
all freight must he trucked most cX-
pcnsivcly.
In the larger unit building enter
prise now proposed for Long Island
City all this Is reversed. The building
material may be barged to the edge of
the tract and thence run to any par
ticular building site on a construction
railway. a system Of freight handling
for all time can be planned and built
as n part OF the general design OF the
new city and not tunnelled out be-
meath It's foundations by a later gem
GRAFTON. Buildings In the new Garment
City can be as big or as little. as high
or as low and Of such shape and facing
in such direction and so spaced with
parks and plazas and so made inside
and out as tho best modern Industrial,
sanitary. architectural and engineering
i~ntelligcnces shall dictate. In such an
enterprise real city planners will have
opportunity for real creative work and
not merely n chance to bewail the mis-
takes of the fathers and TO patch cx-
pensively that which has been wrongly
made by n petty and ind~ividualistic
generation.
The cost figures OF tho locations and
buildings now occupied by the gar
ment trade as compared with the Dos
sibilities of poured concrete factory
buildings In Long Island City are as
follows: Present land costs from Sc to
$50 per square foot; Long Island City
land costs from $3.50 to 81 per square
foot. Building costs in present up
town Manhattan lofts about $4.25 per
square foot of loo area: N the Long
Island factory building 81.
Rentals in Manhattan lofts are from
GO cents to 81 per square foot: in
Long Island factory building with as
good accommodations and better light
from 80 to 81 cents a foot. Power
costs in Manhattan, az now pur-
chased, 6 cents. as bought coOpcra-
lively for the new Garment city, .
cents.
Lastly the delivery OF goods to
freight stations will be much cheaper
in the industrial terminal Of Long
Island City. and even the cost OF de-
livery in Manhattan retail stores will
often show cheaper cost from the
greater distance, for the congestion of
the streets in the present locations
proves IA greater tax R truck time
than a few miles longer run through
open traffic.
And what Ia the form that such a
new Garment City may hest talie to
gain the economies and efflciencies
that it's virgin soil gives us FREQ
hand To achieve? The answer Is given
by John ID. Mccwcn. who. as Sec
rotary Of the Central Fifth Avenue
Committee, IN Interested In the re-
location OF the needle trades In n de-
s!rable district. lilo would utilize the
Garment City idea Of the pcgnon Com

tjnue to live along the old subway
route in Manhattan or The Bronx the
c~arfare will be saved. the time to work
will be only a few minutes longer.
But the more enterprising may move
to suburban homes and have cabbagcs
and chickens and children. like real
commuters. but without the cost OF a
communication ticket or three hours n
day spent In chasing subway and
ferry. train and trolley.
But those whom this development
will bless most of all are the town
planners. Until now these seers OF
visions have had to content them
selves with an occasional civic centre,
carved with zigzag edges out OF the
old heart OF the town-or some prettily
Handicapped group OF restricted subur-
ban villas. But at last In the environs
Of New York Is a factory town and
"A residential town all to be developed
as n single unit. Nor Is this a case
OF an isolated garden city, the idealism
OF which must perforce be lost with
future growth; but It In a part and
parcel OF the metropolis. to start within
two miles and five minutes Of Fifth
avenue and to reach az far back az
the time devouring capacity OF the
most modern transportation systems
can take II.
To erect large new buildings in an
| old city district necessitates the get
ting Of many old and conservative
minds suddenly to turn and run with
one accord along channels wherein
such minds have not the fiuidity to
run. The mere holding up Of larger
