BRISK DEMAND FOR LOTS
AT MANHATTAN BEACH
Eight New Houses Now Under Con-
struction at Ocean Colony.

Within the last few months a large
number of sales Of lots and houses at
Manhattan Beach has been made 10
men in practically every field of en-
deavor. Eight new homes are already
in the course Of construction. There
are already 120 fine residences at Man
haitian Beach occupied by the owners
and representing a valuation of over
100000.
In addition TO having unexcelled
transit facilities, all the necessary city
improvements, including macadam
streets, sidewalks, gas, electricity,
water and a modern sanitary sewer
system have been installed, doing away
with the possibility of assessments at
some later day. All the property has
been carefully restricted.
These are the features, in addition to
the wide esplanade running along the
ocean front built at cost of over ST.
100000. that have made Manhattan
Beach what it is to-day. But the prop
ertv has been brought within the reach
of the homemaker through the liberal
policy of Joseph ?. Day, the sales man
ager, in building up the community. ..
Mr.. Days policy has been to permit
home or lot buyers to pay cash If they
desired; part cash, or little cash with
reasonable instalments. Above all, his
aim has been to provide investments on
which owners can realize easily II re-
verses ever come. AT the present
prices Manhattan Beach lots and homes
are the best local real estate invest
ment that a man can have" says Mr..

the beginning Of an era Of modern in
dustrial buildings!
Judging from present conditions,
there is no need Of fearing for one foot
Of idle space in any building in. The
Bronx that is conveniently located and
we'll supplied with the requirements OF
the modern up-to-date manufactures.
1.-THE Bronx wants industries, and IL
is getting them. Present day indus
tries are divided into two classes-the
sort that become tenants OF indus
trial buildings and the sort that erect
their own plants on large plots or acre
age.
"The first mentioned is the sort in
which the most rapid growth is beng
made in The Bronx. This is easy OF ex-
PLANTATION. A community that possesses
the advantages, both natural and arti-
fetal. that The Bronx possesses. nat
urally has a big demand for its land
The old law Of supply and demand puts
land values pretty well up. Some think,
and perhaps rightly so, that they are
too high up, but that is another mat
ter. Let US here meet the situation as
we find it,"

SHORTAGE OF
LOFTS IN BRONX
Much Space Needed That
Is Suitable for Light
Manufacturing.

Owners of vacant land in the Bronx
industrial area should erect modern
buildings of the daylight variety for
the garment, musical, light metal work
ing. woodworking and many other
trades. says the Bronx Board of Trade.
"a very interesting condition Of af-
fairs exists in The Bronx with regard
to the shortage Of suitable loft space
for light manufacturing" adds the
Bronx Board of Trade. Probably
never before has there been such a de-
mand. Those who are in a position to
know report that where six months ago
were great signs reading Lofts TO Kent
to-day are replaced with equally con-
spicuous signs reading Help Wanted.
"The needed buildings are not such
as to mean expensive construction. The
present demands are for buildings with
plenty of glass, steam heat and elevator
service.
1T is easy enough to convince the
inouiring manufacturer that The Bronx
is admirably situated with regard to
transit and transportation; that we
have the finest labor market in the
country; but il is hard TO convince
him that the buildings which we are
now in a position TO offer are such as
will produce the highest degree OF Ell
fciency of labor, greatest economy for
handling his material and the lowest
rates Of insurance.
industrial buildings as proposed
should be a good investment. The mi
, tial cost is not great. The maintenance
and operation Is but little, and it is
possible to secure from 80 to 40 cents
a square foot for the space. Surely
this is better than non-revenue pro-
ducing vacant lot, with its never-let-up
taxes and interest.
"Financial institutions are looking
with favor upon this sort OF invest
ment. Money should be available for
this purpose. Why, then, can't we see

How lightly the commission con-
sders the vested rights in real estate
is evidenced by the following. In the
commissions report dated March 10,
1916, there appears the following:
There is too much st stake to per-
nit mere habit Of thought as to pri-
vate property rights TO stand in the
way Of q plan that is essential TO the
health, order and welfare of the city
and 10 the conservation Of property
values
THE adoption Of this proposition by
the city will decrease the value Of
thousands of parcels Of real estate by
placing restrictions that will prevent
the alteration of the present buildings
and the Improvement Of land with an
adequate and logical building, or. in
other words, will prevent its uses for
the best economic purpose.
"lf the commission believes that the
proposed restrictions should be placed
on real estate in the interest Of the
city as a whole, why not adopt an
equitable method and acquire such
rights by right of eminent domain in
condemnation proceedings or by private
purchase and pay damages to those
who suffer and assess those who bene-

BROAD STREET
HOSPITAL PLANS
Contract to Purchase
Property Signed by
President Wemple.

The contract for the purchase OF the
building at 1923 Broad ST., northeast
corner of South ST., has been signed
by Edward L. Wemple, president OF
the Broad Street Hospital. The site
il considered ideal for hospital pur-
poses. II is a short distance from the
financial centre.
1t has been the aim Of the poara
OF directors, in cooperation with
their experts and the architect, 70
make the hospital building the hign,,
est possible type Of constructlon' anu
the requirements Of which Will fully
meet the various local conditions.
The superintendent, DR.. A. j. Barker
Savage, has secured from James
Barber one of the governors OF the
hospital, a pledge Of $4,000; from
Charles f. Danforth, ylce-president'
s25.O0O. and from NJ. W. Dominick,
Also governor of the hospital, s2,-
600. for the purchasing and altering
~ the building. A fund for the pur-
chasing Of three grade A motor am
balances for the hospital has also
been started by the superintendent
70 which the following firms and in
dividuals have contributes: BusK q
Daniels. Bernhard, Scholle & Co.; Al,

Company of New Jersey; John X.

ment Company; James A. Farrell
president u. S. Steel Corporation; Ma
tional Lead Company and William T.
Bonbright & Co. ~, CT.
The plans of William Neil Smith
architect, call for a building emorac,,
ing modern improvements IN hospitai
construction. A sufficient number OF
nrivate rooms TO meet the propaole
requirements have been provided.
complete dispensary is a part OF the
eouipment. Particular care has been
taken to provide the highest possioSle
efficiency in the arrangement OF the
medical and surgical departments.
plans of the architect for the en-
largement and improvement OF TINS
building have already been filed and
nassed by the State Board OF Chari-
ties. The hospital will have a capac-
inv for over 100 beds. The subscrlp-
lions which have come in from over
400 individuals and firms in the hnan-
cial district, and which range from 81
to $1,000, show the urgent need OF
this hospital and the desire of those
in the district for its establishment,
II is therefore believed that those
who have not assisted in the estab,
fishing of the hospital will respond
at this time by contributing toward
the building fund.
1t is planned to begin immediate t
alteration in the building in order e,
have the hospital properly equipped
for formal opening in the fall, when
the present Offices at 1O9-lll BROAD
