0rooklyn Builder says the Advance
Will BE 20 Per Cent.

The price OF homes IN Brooklyn will
take n big jump In the next few months.
according to Otto Singer. who has put
up many homes in Kings. He claims
that the advance In labor and material
has increased the cost Of building at
least 20 per cent. and says that after
June I there will he very few new mod
ern houses for sale at present prices.
This condition has caused many build
ers to abandon proposed operations. in
some instances where plans have been
filed and work actually started. This
will create a greater demand for the
comparatively few houses which will
be erected this summer.

Builder Brings California Home Ideas to
Brooklyn---C omniserates With Flat Dwelers

Striving to build one Of the most at.
tractive home communities in the nearby
suburban district. Richard C. Doggctt
mas created Kings Lawn, a development
OF hve acres lying along the Ocean
Parkway In Brooklyn. The develop
lnent OF this little residential park was
begun ny the owner In 1911 and has
been going on steadily ever since.
IN place is located on what IL known
as the Kings Highway section of Brook
Ign. and is reached by the Brighton
Beach subway, Smith street trolley and
the Culrert elevated lines.
In laying out this subdivision the
california Idea WAS carried out as much
AS was practical. The style of archi-
tecture is identical with California. all
the houses being on the semi-bungaiow
plan. The ground plans are also quite
inherent from those IN general use in
the Eastern part of the country. All
electrical and telephone conduits are
under ground. There are also cour
roads which run through the centre OF
the blocks, giving access to the rear of
the houses for tradesmen. This also
makes 1t possible for every house to
have a garage. with ingress and egress
from the rear.
Kings Lawn also boasts Of having a
hne outdoor tennis court. The playing
surface IL Of concrete with a special
hnish. The game Is played the year
around.
Mr.. Dosse,t says that on. O, the
hardest problems builders OF suburban
homes have TO contend with Ia 10 get
the people out OF the city artments.
III seems to be the consensus of opinion
or the apartment house living peopie.'
he says. that II they moved out OF the
city they would not he IN the swim
At all. which Is Of course entirely a false
and vain idea.
Some time ago ! read an article by
Or Wiley. ex-chief Of the Bureau %
Chemistry IN the Department Of Agri-
culture. What he said. In part. was
that no man. woman or child should
live In any place where u Is impos-
sible to possess an individual plot OF
earth. II I, all very well 10 have n
city house o. apartment FOR a few
months In tho year. but you are greatly

agree with Or. Wiley In every sense.
People who live In apartments year
after year. and particularly those who
have young children. are certainly 10 he
pitied.
I'm Greater New York there are some
thing over 100000 individuals. Of whom
about 10000 900 live under absolutely
false conditions. The city Is practically
on the edge Of the water, and ! think
that ] am safe in saying that half OF
them have never seen The ocean. Ones
mind cannot grow n develop as It
should In the city. The idea that you
could not have all the conveniences IN
he suburb IL entirely a false one. The
chances are that after YOU had lived
N the sunshine for one year you would
not go back TO the city - some one
would give YOU an apartment for moth
