Retrenchment in War Undertakings
Z Releases Big Supply Of Space
in Old District

after building has been rented at in
creased rentals and occupied in many
instances in its entirety for long
periods by large firms coming either
from the district above Twenty third
street or from the district below Canal
street. Since the autumn Of 1916 rem
tails have been on the increase, and
those owners who were sufficiently far
sighted and analysed the financial and
political conditions existing at the time
took top notch prices and made leases
for long terms. The increases effected
in our own Office are very interesting.
The rents for 1917 were increased by
$4,000 over those of 1915 and by $780,
600 for the Identical property for 1918
over 1917. Although the figures for
1919 are In the making and not yet
available. they will be substantial and
in proportion to the increases for the
previous years.
Surely our experience Is shared by
all the owners in the district. These
increases IN rents are very marked.
and when one considers that but sew
eral years ago the mercantile district
was so largely depleted OF tenants,
property In itself must evidence very
fundamental merit when It can re-
spond in SO short a period to such an
extraordinary transformation. Our

The property between Canal and
Twenty-third streets is again going
through an interesting transttory
period. A tremendous amount Of
space was leased to firms Identified
with war work. With the cessation OF
hostilitles much OF that space will be
thrown on the market for rerental.
UP to date one million square feet have
been turned back on the market for
rerental and we expect within a week
or ten days an additional million
square feet will be available. Inas-
much as this space has served its pur-
pose. the manufacturers can afford to
rent 1t at much lower figures and
the owner OF the property cannot COM
mence to compete In price, as OBJ
viously In many cases the entire rem
tai has been charged Off and whatever
is procured Is regarded as salvage.
Aside from this condition the prop
erty in the district was never in a
healthier state. Only few years ago
. the district was being vacated and
rentals and property values reduced
to meet the conditions OF the time. The
trend has changed entirely. Building

cause in the last ten days many propo-
sitions have been brought to us where
financial support is assured either by
the seller of the property or other in

have been offered such proposals and
we consider this an indication Of the

man went on. because there has been
SO little for the last few years. In my
opinion there has never been a con-
dluon that could compare with the
present one. Material costs will come
down in due time, but they will never
drop to the level Of before the war. 1t
Is my belief that labor also will be
cheaper. but 1t will not be as cheap as
when 1t was employed to build UP

in the cost Of production will be worked

A great many more apartments will

taxation. In this direction and
toward this end real estate agencies
in the district can be and are anxious
to be of tremendous assistance to the
owners il the owners will but consult
them. The owner would hesitate be-
fore he would consider selling a piece
OF property without having II ap-
praised as to it's value. but will with
out any reservation lease for n long
term without procuring an idea OF
the value OF the space rented and
frequently a lease may involve a sum
much greater than the fee.
Negotiation of any kind Is a
psychological proposition. Several
years ago when tho rental values were
rapidly dhdining and rentals were
cbrfespondinEly reduced, one in
etinotlvely sensed whether to lease for
D. long or a short period. Now that
the situation has changed. and the
rental value is decidedly on the in
Crease, one must possess tho same
sense. the experience and the knowl-
edge or. rental conditions. only more
highly developed as to whether the
lease shall be for a long period or a
short period and at what rentals.
Aside from every other considera-
tion owners should not be influenced
by the space tossbe thrown on the
market. because the prospect Of the
erection of new buildings is very re-
mote. Firstly, the building materials
necessary will not be released except
ing at high prices and the insurance
companies and financial institutions
are hardly likely to finance new opera
tons for long time. Such moneys
as they have in their possession will
unquestionabIy be held for the ne,.
Liberty Loan soon to be launched,
and certainly they propose not to
foster the erection of new buildings in
competition with the buildings they
already own.

increases in rentals were not arrived
at by arbitrary speculation but were
the result Of thorough and system
attic canvass made many months prior
to the commencement Of the renting
season. 1t gave us very definite data
Of the leases expiring in the district;
the space to be available and the gen
eral real estate conditions. On tho
other hand, we tabulated the approx
pnate increased cost In management
and the corresponding increased taxa
ton. The statistics so obtained were
the basis on which increases were fixed
and universally obtained.
At the moment, perhaps, 75 per
cent, Of the leases for 1919 have been
renewed. Firms occupying large
areas have already determined their
occupancy for subsequent periods.
The 100000 square feet to be
thrown on the market should in no
sense AFFECT the rental conditions. The
very nature Of the property, its i'm
mensity In size. precludes competition
with the still unrenewed leases and
the additional business ought to con-
sumo and absorb the available square
tootage.
AS an instance, the O'Neilf Building,

Maryland for the manufacture of over
coats for the United States Govern
ment. although possessing. $4,000
square feet, does not sand cannot COM
pete with or affect the price OF prop
erty in the adjoining streets. 1t Is
expected that this Building will be
rented in its entirety to one firm OF
similar size and character and should
not interest an owner having a multi
pie OF 10000 square feet.
Again and again our attention is
being directed TO the fact that owners
are making leases for long periods at
rentals hardly commensurate with
the demands for space in the district;
The owners act ON their own initiative
and without consultation, and although
often the leases are at nominal in
creases over the then existing rental,
the new rentals are insufficient and
inadequate TO either pay for the in
creased cost in the management Of
the property or for the increased

Washington when President Paid
only $4,000 for His Home.

Rentals Of $500 to $1,000 a year
are not remarkable. There are hun
dreds Of apartments In this city which
rent for more, a great deal more, and
It Is likely that the new constructions
In the best apartment house sections
contain no suites so cheap as $4,000.
When New York was the capital Of
the nation and washington the chief
executive there were few who paid as
high as $1,000 year for homes. Rec
ords show that George Washington
paid $4,000 a year for the use Of the
McComb mansion on Broadway while
President OF the United States. As
first citizen of the country It was
allowable that he should pay so high
rental, but only the President paid
anything like that amount. He got a
good deal more for his money than
the man who pays $500 for an apart
ment to-day.
The McComb house was one of the
finest homes in the capital. 1t was
built by the best architect In the
colonies and great care and no small
amount of money were spent in the
construction of the house, which was
large and had many splendid rooms.
It had beautifully laid out grounds

NEW ROCHELLE
APPEALS TO PUBLIC
Continued from First Page.

T. Meeker, as submitted to the referee.
At the time OF Mr. Wards death his
estate was appraised. and Mr.. Meeker
appraised the real estate. He was
retained by the realtors to appraise
this very same property in 1916, the
same year for which this tax pro-
ceeding Is brought, and made affidavit
to the transfer tax proceeding that the
zeal estate under investigation was
worth S286,000. At that time he was
representing the estate, as have said
before, and his ultimate object was to
keep down the appraised. value OF this
property. This property for the same
year was assessed by the Assessor OF
the city OF New Rochelle at 100000,
and Mr.. Meeker, who was acting for
the interest Of the estate. appraised
this same property at $4,000.
THE respondents also produced the
transfer tax report, as signed by one
of the executors Charles a. Ward,
and he swore in an affidavit that this
property was worth not less than
s275, 900, although he has made petit
ton to this court to have the assessed
value of the property reduced to
s129, 900.
IF ever there has been n fragrant
case of the miscarriage of justice in
the courts OF Westchester county, this
case, to my mind. stands out promi-
nently. 1t was stipulated on the trial
that tho ratio in this case was IS per
cent. The referee herein arbitrarily
reduced the assessed valuation of this
property $14,s50. together with the re-
duction Of Is per cent. as stipulated
to 1852, 1858.
