REALTY HAS ESCAPED
WAR INITIATION
Pre-War Prices Still Conn
mand in Property Field
Handicaps Disappearing.
BY WILLIAM e. HARMON.

While the value Of money has been
going down the past few years, or the
value of most commodities, as meas
ured by money. have gone up. real e.-
tate has barely held It's own at pre-
war figures: in other words, has not
been benefited by the general imitation
OF prices the world over. Yet real
estate never earned as much as to-day,
and was never as attractive from q
purely investment point OF view.
Why this apathy in realty invest
ments? Why this dulness in trading?
The reasons are several: First, bur-
densome taxation; second, annoying
regulations; third, high cost of labor
and material fourth, absorption OF
capital in war activities; fifth, Govern
ment embargo on enterprise.
Notwithstanding all the handicaps
under which real estate has struggled,
and its peace time character, It has
stood up astonishingly well, braced by
rental incomes that have increased
from 20 TO so per cent. II Ia easy 10
see what will be the effect Of the re-
moval OF restrictions and handicaps.
Taxation on real estate has probably
reached the maximum. Police. fire
and sanitary regulations are moderat-
ing under the control Of common sense
methods in the city government. The
Government embargo Is passed, and
real estate operators are encouraged
to absorb supplies. The enormous In
hated capital created by the war, with
lesser opportunities for investment, IS
turning attention to real estate, long
neglected, Rentals are "pegged" at
the present high levels by increasing
population, and lack OF space. and will
go up rather than down for many
years
There is no opportunity in this
country to-day that offers as sure
profit as carefully selected real
estate. Even now far sighted invest
ors are picking up bargains and have
been for the past several months, r.
does not take much buying at low
figures 10 clean the market of the
best bargains, because owners are as
fnr sighted as buyers. and it is only
those forced TO sell by necessity who
accept the figures offered to-day
At present there are two classes OF
property in which II is safe to invest
one is improved property producing
n good income and the other is vacant
land II selected close TO transportation
and bought at figures, say. az ten
years ago. II would seem almost i'm
possible for buyers to make mistakes
II these two classes We're adhered 10.
Tho best evidence of faith in tie
underlying strength and the brilliant
future OF real estate Is shown by this
fact. For the coming spring we are
planning the most extensive develop
ment programme in our hlstory-the
first real advertising campaign since

ROOSEVELT WANTED REFORM.
While Governor Declared Tax sys-
tenn Was Inadequate.

An equitable tax system has been
agitated by real estate men and others
interested in the economic affairs of
the city and the State for many years.
In an article on the coming cam
palgn for legislative relief, printed IN
this months Bulletin OF the Real
Estate Associations OF the Twelfth
and Nineteenth wards reference is
made TO the fact that Theodore Roose-
welt, while Governor OF the State
eighteen years ago. declared that the
tax system should be changed. IN ad-
vocating tax reforms Gov. Roosevelt
said:
AT present the real estate owner
is certainly bearing an excessive pro-
portion OF the tax burden. It has be-
come more and more evident in recent
years that existing methods OF tax
alton. which worked well enough In
a simpler state OF society, are not ade-
quate to secure Justice when applied
TO the conditions OF our complex and
highly specialized modern industrial
development"
Practically nothing from, that time
until now has been done to remedy
the situation, according 10 the Bale
tin. The bad situation OF which Gov.
Roosevelt complained has become in
finitely worse. We have now, in New
York city. what in effect amounts to
the single tax" Real estate alone
bears almost the entire tax burden.

Nature Lovers Find Beautiful Home Settings
Amid Primeval Hillside Forests of Essex Fells

Nature lovers who nave often lonGed
FOR the primeval forests Of years long
past. who have acquired this longing
from reading history and fiction. and
have developed such a desire to feel the
surrounding Of such piece OF land
scape that some have travelled many
miles into scantily inhabited parts Of
the United States in an endeavor to
satisfy their wishes. may be somewhat
surprised. yet greatly pleased. to learn
that there is an ideal prlmevaI forest
on virgin soil resting quietly along
the western slope Of one Of the noun
tain ranges within the radius of the
so-called metropolitan district.
The existence of such a place will
be revelation TO the business man,
who has long sought place where he
can make his home, in q district free
from every evidence of commerCialisn.
yet near enough to journey to his
office daily, until such time as he feels
ready TO cast off the cares OF business.
When he has arrived at this latter
stage of life the question OF commute
ton ceases to be a factor and he can
HE himself to any part of the globe
which suits his taste.
On the western slope Of the second
range OF Orange mountains there Is a
stretch OF landscape, which to an avi-
ator would seem like beautiful park
hidden from the view of the busy
world. To all intents and purposes T..
Is a park, for the roads that pass
through are winding and the homes Of
the 200 or more householders OF the
place are not marked out by sharp
angles formed 10y the intersection OF
straight roads. This is Essex Fels.
Within its boundaries there are some
Of the finest homes in Jersey, but they
are hidden among the great trees
These winding roads, which pass
among the trees, seem like. threads OF
good fellowship binding the Inhabitants
into one great, happy community.
Essex Fells. according TO tradition,
was once game preserve, aud came
into the possession OF the Anthony ].
Drexel family through the marriage Of
the widow of the original owner into
that. family, Some years ago the
Drexel family decided 10 develop the
property into a high class residential
section and laid II out in way to pre-
serve all the natural beauties. Some
very substantial and elegantly de-
signed homes were erected in the
midst OF q forest OF about 1900 acres
and rented to an exclusive few who
chose to make their homes there. In
later years, when the property passed
to the younger generation OF the
Drexel family. they parted with some
of the land and the place began TO
grow. They still retain possession of
about 800 acres. The original re-
strictions in regard to building still
exist.
Being In strong financial hands, Es-
sex Fells did not develop along COM
mercial lines, but rather retained its
original atmosphere. In fact. the
changes have been so few, compared
to other developments, that there are
still distinct evidences of its primeval
state. Wild birds inhabit the tree tops.

So apparent is the evidence OF the
origin of tho land upon which Essex
Fells is built that biologists have de-
termined from the pebbles of the sand
banks that the terminal moraine of
the ice cap which during the glacial
period covered the northern part of
the continent was located in the Pas
sale Valley, OF which Essex Fells is
really q part. The Passaic River.
which now runs through the valley
to Paterson, then found its way, it Is
said, through Short Hills. The old
channel, however Is covered with n de-
post OF sand and gravel OF the termi-
nal moraine to the depth of hundreds
of feet in some localities, while in
Others, the basic rocks are still visible.
Because of this the soil and drainage
are exceptional For the same reason,
geologists have determined that the
underlying rocks retain the waters
that filter through and form the source
OF a practically unlimited supply OF the
purest water. Essex Fells obtains its
water supply from this subterranean
stream, tapping 1t by artesian wells and
pumping It throughout its own and
neighboring communities directly into
tho houses. In connection with the
terminal moraine. 1t is interesting to
note that among the variety Of stone
found about Essex Fells some has
been identified as having come from
as far as Labrador.
Through its unusual location Essex
Fells is protected from smoke OF
manufacturing towns and even the
sea air. 1t is situated about 600 feet
above sea level and statistics have
disclosed the astonishing fact that this
region is the most healthful part Of
the United States with the exception
OF San Diego. Cal The mountains

estate and very good thing for the
owner.
I'VE have asked for a reduction Of
2 per cent. and 1t is my belief that this
will be the demands made by others
when making loans in the future. The
property which cannot pay per cent.
of its Indebtedness is a bad risk In
my opinion. People lose sight OF the
fact" Mr.. Stabler said. that this
amortizing plan works to the advan-
tage Of both parties. since II enforces
economy on the owner. reducing the in
debtedness on his property. and there
by increases his equity and improves
the loan on the property and returns
to the market money which can be put
out on other property
"AmortiEing loans should be for long
periods. This would have the effect OF
doing away with the practice Of calling
loans or a large percentage of loans at
times when It Is least possible for an
owner to replace them"
Mr.. Stabler declared, with a feeling
Of pride. that he never has approved
OF this practice. It has been the cause
Of much distress and loss of equity,
the position of real estate in the in
vestment field. Amortlzing loans will
prevent this, he asserted. besides i'm
proving the economic position of own
ers generally and making for a
healthier real estate situation.
The mortgage system as it is known
in New York is in for a change, Mr..
Stsbler intimated lie said the BUSH
ness OF loaning money on realty here
was monopoDzed, condition not of
the best, as the present situation IL
illustrates. He Is OF the opinion that
real estate mortgages should be
financed just as q mortgage on a rail
road or commercial enterprise, through
the issuance OF bonds to be sold TO
investors. This would interest the
public in real estate and there would
be no limit to business as a coase-
quence. 1t has been tried in other
cities and with much success. In Chi
cago a large loan Is fioated in a bond
Issue, which is bought by one or many
investors. The loans are for long
periods and are paid off just as any
dobt on a railroad system. Greater
conservation would be the result of
such a system. We have been care
less. Mr.. Stabler said. in mortgaging
and lending. The error has been seen
by all.

The Prasada on Central Park West
at the south corner Of Sixty-flfth
street, one of New York's grand old
apartment buildings, a house of
marked architectural beauty, has been
purchased by Walter Russell and Pen
rhyn Stanlaws, well known artists and
developers of the Sixty-seventh street
studio colony, which is regarded the
finest in the country.
The Prasada is to be made over
both within and without and when
completed II will be an apartment
house Of novel features, being at once
dwelling. a club and a hotel. The
artists owners have worked out an
arrangement both in the suites and
service which they claim has never
been tried before. They make the
claim that the new Prasada will be a
far step in the development Of the
apartment idea Of living.
The underlying idea of this new
development in apartment construc-
ton 10 to give the tenant service, rec
reation and amusement, as well as a
space in which to live. This means
the banishing Of the old apartment
house ground floor, which usually con-
sists Of more or less ATTRACTIVE hall
and several doctors Offices. The first
floor of the new Prasada will consist
of recreation rooms, writing rooms,
tea rooms, dining rooms, grill rooms
and retiring rooms.
The basement of the old fashioned
apartment house will give place in
this new building to a sub floor which
will have a natatorium Of marble and
tile and shower baths, as we'll as a
splendidly equipped gymnasium. Spe-
cially designed elevators will carry
tenants from their apartments to the
swimming pool for a morning plunge.
In the new Prasada the tenant may
call for housemaid service. ladies' maid
service, for buffers, footmen, chefs,
manicures, &C. Service OF this kind
is supplied by the hour or day, as
may be desired. In the old type apart
ment house the servant problem is al
most as bad as in the old brownstone
house. II ones cook left one was in
a predicament. In the Prasada no
inconvenience whatever will result.
for the householder will have three
kitchens at her service.
Each apartment in the new apart
ment house will contain model
kitchen equipment with an electric re-
frigerator and ice making machine
