RENTS OLD STORE
OXFORD TAYLOR
N. Y. Merchandise Co.,,
New Tenant, to Pay $780,
900 for Term.

An indication Of the beneficial effect
Of the coming movement in the old dry
goods shopping centre was seen yes
terday, when the New York Merchan-
disc Company, composed Of Philip
Maslansky, Victor Price and Joseph
Hattenbach, exporters and importers Of
notions and fancy goods, leased for n
term of ten years, at an aggregate
rental Of S250000, the eight story build
ing at the northeast corner of Fifth
av. and 10th ST., known as 1l9 and l21
Fifth av., and formerly occupied by
Lord & Taylor.
Brokers dealing in high class COM
mercial properties in the old midtown
section are satisfied that much of the
property formerly occupied by high
class wholesale concerns is to be re-
tanned for similar use through the &C
tlon of the zoning regulations recently
adopted by the city," said an owner, IN
speaking of the lease.
This building, containing approx
mately $4,000 square feet. was erected
in 1906. and was occupied by Lord g.
Taylor until their removal uptown, in
February, 1914. VI. g. l.. Hess, Inc,
negotiated the lease TO the New York
Merchandise Company, which is now
located at $40 Broadway. This COM
pany was organized ten years ago, at
the above address, at which time it oc-
cupied but one floor. The growth Of
its business has been such that il is
now occupying the entire building.
Its business in 1906 occupied space
of 5000 feet, and its present quarters
have total area Of about $4,000 square
feet. In taking now more than twice
the space it has occupied the New
York Merchandise Company is follow
ing the general practise Of concerns
moving into the old midtown district.

saved from the garage blight. The
garages that would otherwise have been
located in these residence sections have
found more suitable locations.
The zone resolution permits in a
residence district the erection of pri-
vate garage for not more than five
automobiles on the same plot with the
residence which ii serves. Ii permits
in business district garage either
public or private for not more than
five motor Vehicles. With the appro yal
of the Board of Appeals, however, a
public garage will be permitted in any
block in a business district in which
there existed public garage at the
time of the passage of the zone resolu-
tion. This will permit the creation OF
certain garage blocks in the business
districts. Except as above specified,
public garages must be located in the
Unrestricted districts. The unrestricted
districts are in general those in which
a factory or industrial development IS
anticipated, but in order 20 provide
for the garage various small areas
have been left unrestricted. The space
available for the location of public
garages under the zone plan is well
distributed and adequate for future
needs. 1t may be possible, however,
that as the demand for garage space
increases it will be necessary in few
localities to provide additional unre-
stricted areas. This can be done at
any time by the Board of Estimate
either on its own motion or on petit
ton. Such action can, however, only
be taken after public notice and hear
ing. and if the owners of 20 per cent
of the frontage affected protest against
such things 1t can only be made by a
unanimous vote of the Board of Esti-
mate.
An automobile salesroom where cars
are kept for sale or for demonstration
purposes only may be erected in any
business district. An automobile re-
pair shop must locate in an unre-
stricted district. The zone resolution
does not affect existing garages or
those for which plans were on file on
July 25, 1915.

The regulation Of the location Of
public garages is the feature of the
zone resolution that is causing the
most friction, and it is also the feat
ure that is proving most useful in the
conservation Of residential sections.
The increase in the number of auto
mobiles has caused boom in the pub
lie garage business. Hundreds Of pub
lie garages have been built and hun
dreds more will doubtless be built in
the near future. Before the adoption
Of the zone plan the garage was free
TO locate in any part Of the city. One
good residential block after another
has been progressively invaded by the
garage, with the result that the value
Of the block for residential purposes
has been largely destroyed. All this
waste has been stopped by the zone
resolution. Already a score or more
of good residential blocks have been
