By ARTHUR r. NICHOLSON

Have you read Lawrence Veiller's
articles on the problem Of Housing
Industrial Workers. which appeared
recently in "The Real Estate Record
and Guide? Well, IL not, ! recon-
mend them to your careful perusal-
no matter what your work is IN the
great world of realty.
"As a rule, an industrial housing
enterprise involves not merely the
building Of a certain number Of houses,
bet practically the development of the
entire community" says Mr. WELLER.
"This is certainly the case where the
plant is located in the country away
from centres Of population. Here II
becomes necessary TO develop not only
the homes of the workingmen, but the
streets. the open spaces, the recrea-
tioral opportunities, the transportation
facilities-in word, the whole city
plan. -,
at is In enterprises of this kind
that the garden suburb, which has been
developed to such an extraordinary
extent in England, becomes practical
possibility for America. Here far
sighted employers Of labor have won
derful opportunity. They can develop
their community in such a way that IT
will not only furnish a healthful and
delightful dwelling place for their
workers, but will be a real asset to the
industry"

at which Robert h. Simon, Joseph 7.
Day and Clarence Davies publicly
aired their opinion on certain phases
Of the realty situation. and OF The
Bronx in particular. Davies bought

lative corner properties in Jerome, ay'

lative realty plunge in The Bronx you
will get a frmer grasp on the drift OF
affairs there by calling on the phone
F. Osborne Smith or B. II. Weisker,
ir | know they arc very busy men,
but they are never too busy TO spare
the necessary minutes TO tell prospec-
tive buyers or lessees for Bronx prop
critics about the coming CHEEKY days
along jerome av. and near this district.
Since 1907 real estate in New YORK
has been like a sick man." said Mr..
Davies At the luncheon. "Since that
time it has been treated by too many
doctors, by the Legislature, by Single
Tax organizations, by philanthropists
and by social reformers, all Of whom
have sent their bills to real estate.
It needs rest, recreation and fresh
air, like any other patient, and, IN
terms Of real estate, this means eco
nomical administration Of city AFFAIRS
and lower taxes.
Conditions at present greatly re-
senble those during and following the
Spanish- American War, when tremen-
dous sums Of money we're made. These
funds reached the stock market in l9Ol
and finally reached real estate in 1904.
The same conditions in great meas
ure prevail to-day. Present day pros.
perity has not yet reached the small
investor. We all know that real estate
is always the last to feel the effect OF

tiF in purchasing land and erecting
apartments thereon, had a right 10 as

Joining property. Il cannot be success

carving on OF this work in the manner
described would not constitute a null

"The use and occupation OF the apart
ments of the plaintiff are physically
uncomfortable 70 him and his tenants
and their peace and quiet have been
disturbed. as result OF which the
rental value OF the apartments has oe-
creased and plaintiffs property has de-
creased in value.

and IL has selected this plot OF land
not because il is absolutely necessary
TO utilize this plot in the construction
OF the subway. but because IT IS more
convenient and more profitable to use

Eastern Parkway which could be used,
although not 60 conveniently, or By es-
tablishing at various points along the

satisfied that the plaintiff has suffered
considerable damage, greater than ne

which he has and will sustain by reason
Of the operation of this plant, and. as
vas stated upon the trial, the question
Of fixing the amount Of that damage
will be sent TO a referee. unless il can
be agreed upon by the parties. An in

MAINTAINED NUISANCE
Eastern Parkway Apart
ment Houses of the
Plaintiff Affected

By the Advisory Council Of Real Estate
Interests
A decision relating TO the right OF
recovery b. property owner for nui-
sances caused by subway construction
was handed down last week by Justice
Callaghan, OF Special Term, Part III.
A resume of the decision and case has
been prepared by the law committee OF
the Advisory Council of Real Estate In
terests. which has followed the prog
-oss Of the litigation through the
courts.
Weinberg. III. plaintiff, is the owner
OF property situated on the Eastern
Parkway, in Brooklyn, upon which are
erected two four story apartment
houses, one fronting on Eastern Park
way and the other on Union street.
Subsequent to the time those houses
were built the defendant, Rodgers 6
Hsgerty, who had a contract for eXes-
waiting and building a part OF the East
ern District subway, purchased lot
Immediately adjoining plaintiffs lot
The defendant inclosed its lot with
high board fence and Is now using that
plot Of lard rs a general storeyard Tor
timber. steel, machinery, sand, crushed
slime and such materials as it requires
for the construction of the subway.
These structures have been erected
unon the land plot-a blacksmith snop'
a tool shop and a building 70 inclose
a steam boiler and an engine; also
structure about thirty-siX feet hlgh, IN
which it has installed a concrete mixer
Il also operstes compressed air plan''
from which compressed air Is used IN
the construction Of the subway at such
places as Is necessary for the carrying
on of the work.
The defendant operated the plant
from s o'clock in the morning until
o'clock at night, but IL appeared from
ne testimony and from an examination
% the premises that the subway con,
tractors had done all which they could
70 reduce the noise caused by the
operation Of this plant In fact' no
negligence in operation or construction
;s alleged or proved, but the property
owner maintained that the operation OF
the plant should be restrained upon TWO
oronnds-frst. because the Eastern
Parkway is a street restricted by an act
OF the Legislature against nuisance
~ tbi, character, and, second, because
il creates a nuisance. -,

is Of peculiar concern 10 property OWL

PROHIBITION STANDS TEST.

The year 1916 has witnessed n tri-
umph perhaps even greater than the
mere gaining of territory, a thGroliGh
and satisfactory testing OF the prohibit
ton policy. Duripg the past ~ weeks
The Lew prohibition states have SO con
vincingly demonstrated the economic,
social and moral benefits of the law
that they are quite sufficient rcfutati0n
of the false charges made by the liquor
publicity bureaus that prohibition does
not prohibit; that it is a failure that
it leads to economic disaster and other
statements Of like tenor. As to the sat
isfaction of the residents of these
states with the new regime, the mag
nficent vote in Oregon, Washington,
Colorado, Arizona and Arkansas on No.
vnmher Z against the measures initint-
cd by the liquor interests to weaken
or nullify the new laws, furnishes
abundant testimony.

INSANITY AND DRY STATES.

The publicity bureau of the liqUor
interests. is trying to make the public
believe that prohibition Kansas has
more insane in proportion to the pop
ulation than have license states. He
selects for selection three wct states
which are more than 80 per cent dry,
rather than three which are mostly
wet, as New York, Now Jersey and
Pennsylvania. But that is a way the
linuOritcs have.
The insane rate in Kansas is 172.2
per 100000; in New York ii IS 1922
per 100000; in New Jersey, 23S.1 per
100000; in Pennsylvania, 2a0.1 per
100000.
When 1t comes to the percentage Of
what is known as alcoholic insanity
the only fair basis for n test--the rate
in Kansas is remarkably low. That
state has only II per cent Of alcoholic
insane.

REDUCE EXPENSE OF HAULING
Improved Roads Put Farmer in Posi-.
ton Where He Can Go to Market
Every Day in Year.

Permanent road building costs
money, and it is wen to look at the
eold-cash side of the proposition. True,
the beneficial effects upon the social
and educational standards Of TIE COM
munity are not always susceptible Of
exact calculation, but they are certain
to come; and since a permanent road
costs money, We must know there is 10
be a profit from somewhere to Offset
the cost. Something for nothing has
never yet been found.
Profits from a permanent road come
to the farmer in the reduction of haul
ing costs. 1t puts him in a position
where he can get to market every day
In the year, and where he can haul two
loads at one trip instead of having to
make two trips 10 haul one load.
