PRICES on the remaining property will
advance that much"
Frederick Brown, real estate opera
tor. 217 Broadway, says the district
which holds the greatest promise for
investors is the loft section bounded by
Fourteenth and Forty-second streets
and Fourth and Eighth avenues.
The reason" says Mr.. Brown, why
that district holds promise for investors
is because no buildings have been put
up in 1t in several years. The demand
for them has increased and rents are
higher than formerly. Another consider
alton is the increase in the cost of con
struction. When the cost OF new con-
struction is considered 1t will be real
lied that existing loft buildings in the
district are cheap at prices asked. The
prices for lofts in the district are really

TAX RATE PENALTIES
OWNER OF THE HOME
Realty Board Urges Citizens
to Back 2 Per Cent. Bill.

The Real Estate Board of New York
has issued < statemenrfM which It says
that the effect OF. an increase OF nearly
100 points in the tax levy OF the city In
the last thirteen years has been ito dis
courage thrift and to put a penalty on
owning house. 1t has become n seri-
Gus obstacle in the way OF providing
the necessary housing facilities for the
people OF the city and is the strongest
reason for high rents.
In 1914 the tax rate In Manhattan was
1873. In 1918. four years later, II was
2.S6, an increase of IS points, forcing
every owner Of a $4,000 home to pay
SIS year additional in taxes. Capital
lied at per cent. his home was worth
1928 less in 1918 than in 1914.
The Real Estate Board declares that
the tax on real estate must be stabilized
II cannot be made hereafter more than
one-third of the income from improved
real property. This year II is four
tenths of the income. Next year II will
be at least nine-twentieths. In another
year one-half of the income will be
taken for taxes Under such conditions
the Real Estate Board points out, there
can be no building and the competition
for housing space will be still more
severe.
The Real Estate Board urges every
citizen TO write to his Senator ami AS

Authorities agree that caution Is also
necessary in attempting to interpret the

ton of a room. A few extremists hold
that the interior of room should be

ticable II the owner were artistically
capable of expressing his own personal
ity. but even then It would possess dan
gerous possibilities IL carried out without

would have been the effect IL the late
lamented Mr.. Pecksniff had portrayed his
real soul In the interior decoration OF
his home.
Above all other considerations. how
ever, the purpose of the room must be
kept clearly in mind. for right here

authority has expressed it, decoration
must never be applied where use Is sac
rificed in its application" This prin-
ciple must be applied not only to the
room, but to every article in It, II, for
instance, the establishment of a chair
makes It any less comfortable for sitting
purposes then decoration becomes os-
tentation.
Decoration VS. Ornament
Decoration exists to strengthen the
structure and make more beautiful the

old master of the Renaissance. "Orna-

The average entrance hall in America
to day is a remote and sometimes ques-

was the main room of the house. In
the old days It was used for almost
every purpose but sleeping. There the

the ladies entertained, the children
played and tho dogs romped. The

so infrequently changed that rails of
wood were built around the tables about
six inches from the floor SO that the
diner might keep his feet out of the
hlth. That was the origin OF the stringer
which connects the legs of Ellzabethar
furniture.
In those days the entrance hall was
not adorned with commodious stair
vay, for the manor house was more oil

staircase gave too much of n strategic

staircases owe their origin to the 1tal-
