The estimate has been made that
New York Is ~ per cent. underbuilt.
Real estate men and builders make
the claim that the Government would
not have to commander so many
buildings and disturb commercial enter
prises had there been sufficient con-
struction before the entrance Of the
country into the war. The short
sightedness of the lending institutions
Is blamed for this. Several years ago
when there was an oversupply Of COM
mercial and residential accommodations
the big lenders of mortgage money dis
couragad further construction by refus-
ing to finance enterprises until this sur
plus supply had been used UP. For at least
three years 1t had been general infor-

Of business and living space. but the
mortgage interests of the town refused
to heed the needs of the city. having
an eve on the great struggle In Europe
and the possible opportunities which
the future held for money.
1t was too late when the mortgage in

construction because the demand for

continent taxed the capacity Of steel

Every Owner to Be Asked to Take in
Liberty Bonds Half of One Per
Cent. of His Property Value y.

II every real estate owner In Greater
New York acts upon the suggestion Of
the Real Estate Division Of the Liberty
Loan Committee something like s35, oOO,-
900 to $+0,000.000 will be raised by the
workers from the Real Estate Board Of
New York during the fourth Liberty
Loan drive, which starts next Saturday.
OF course such huge sum is entirely
out OF the question, but that il the Np-
proximate amount possible under the
scheme the brokers have devised for
putting a punch into their part OF the
big undertaking.
To be more explicit, Laurence Mcclure.
president Of the Real Estate Board, at
an organization meeting of the boards
committee last week suggested that
every real estate owner, whether an in
dividual or corporation, should subscribe
through the real estate division for an
amount Of bonds equal to one-half OF 1
per cent OF the assessed value of his or
It's property holdings. The suggestion
was adopted enthusiastically and was
made the basis Of the real estate mems
drive. Figuring the assessed value Of
taxable property in New York city at be-
tween $7,000.000,000 and $4,000, 900, 900,
II the brokers are entirely successful
they will raise an amount equal to four
s25o0,000. On their last drive the real
estate division sold more than $500. 900
worth Of bonds. but this. time they ex-
pect to go so far beyond this figure that
II will seem insignificant by comparison.
In order to accomplish their purpose
OF obtaining the subscription of every
real estate owner in town the members
Of the committee have adopted novel
scheme. They are going to have de-
signed special flag or emblem which
will be awarded at once to every owner
who subscribes the one-half OF per
cent Of his property value This emblem
IL to be displayed In a prominent place
80 that the patriotic action OF the owner
will be known to everybody passing his
property. The fact that one Is a real
estate owner is going to be sufficient
reason for making his subscription or at
least part of II through. the real estate
division. and though a man may be a
banker or theatrical producer or a
cheese dealer. II he owns real estate he
will be considered as a legitimate GUS
toner for the corps of able statesmen
who will Fo out from the Real Estate
Board to sell Uncle Sans bonds.
Under this scheme the ow-er OF every
Building In New York city will be visited,
fnd the real estate men make the an
nourcesnent now that no matter what
his obliRo tiOns to ether industries or to
Other committees he will be expected to
maize at least part NJ his contribution
to the real estate division. SO. for in
stance. assuming that the building Of
J p Morgan q Co Is assessed at So
