HAS THEM AS
WELL AS NEW YORK
Housing Problems Acute in
Englands Capital.

One of the great problems facing the
authorities in England at the present
time is the provision OF housing facilities
for the thousands OF new people who are
daily arriving in London. Under the
heading. "One Million Persons Too
Many in London" the Evening NeicS
gives an insight into conditions. and
summarizes the causes OF the over
crowding as follows:
after the passage of the land valua-
ton act in 1910 home building in Lon
don as we'll as all over tho country
began to decline.
The creation of Government depart
ments and bureaus for war work has
brought thousands of people into Lon
don. There are approximately 10000
people employed In clcrical work re-
lating to the war. and 900 buildings
have been taken over by the Govern
ment In which TO house them These
buildings. in tho main, have been large
hotels, which has caused added conges-
ton to the hotels not affected. In 4
good many instances these war workers
have brought their families with them,
causing quite a demand for small flats
and houses and resulting in congestion
and insantation.
THE housing of the transient or
floating population, made up of soldiers
factors which is causing concern.
1T Is estimated that 100 900 new
houses are needed in London alone. Dur
ing the war 1900 houses have been
condemned as unsanitary and should not
have been used, but under the Circum-
stances they had 10 be occupied. The
London County Council has loo acres
on which houses are TO be built at
once, which can accommodate 1900
persons. II is proposed to spend slz,-
032,750 on this programme. Other
councils In greater London have made
applicable to erect houses on 10000
acres. The Local Government Board has
scheme for erecting 100000 houses,
but the procuring of the material re-
ouired is a great problem. Six thou
| sand million bricks, 9i,00O,00O cubic
feet of timber. 100000 windows and
100000 doors are needed for these
houses.

OUT OF THE TRENCHES
AND INTO THE HOME
Doughboy Is Being Lectured Abroad
on the Wisdom Of Buying His
Own Little Bungalow,

The thought OF a home and OF family
life is uppermost In the minds Of thou-
sands of soldiers who are returning from
France. This thought has been active
through many long months OF camp and
trench life and has been encouraged by
letters from the girl who was left be-
hind. Castles. which tho fighting man
and the girl have been building In the
air, so to speak, are now reasonably
assured in material form. Long cher
ished hopes are now being realized in
happy unions.
The extent of home building by SOL
diers is limited only by the return OF
the men from war. Activity Is not con-
fined to single men who are marrying
upon their discharge from the service.
Married men who did not own their
homes before the war are also taking
an active interest in the movement.
Pride OF citizenship. love OF country. a
settled state OF mind and desire TO
locate definitely in an attractive COM
munity and have part in the affairs
which fall naturally to property
owner and home builder. are likely to
be the fruits of service under arms on a
foreign front.
80 keen Is the interest OF tne soIdier
In home building that lecture upon the
subject has been arranged and is being
delivered at Romsey Camp. England,
where large number of American SOL
diers are convalescing, The lecturer is
William Jeffrey, a Y, NJ. c. A. secretary.

To convert an old dismautled church

to be such a tremendously difficult task
to the layman who gees and enjoys the
finished product after the work of archi-
tectural prestid,gitation is done To the

a matter OF laying n nice, highly poll
ished dancing floor, rigging up stage,
putting In a wall or two, hanging some
drsoeries and sprinkling about few
easy chairs.
But there are any number of bother

Forty fourth street The club is now u

made it possible in spite OF limited funds,
also makes the story of the project
worth the telling.
The idea of founding the club grew
out OF the realization that the commits
stoned officer was being uniutentionally
sighted in the general soliCitude for the
private and the non-com. The enlisted
man was being petted by the matron
and idolized by the debutante OF

coffee. but in the meantime the officer
was being neglected. on the theory that
he was able to take care of himself,

The stage erected Mt the back OF the

such manner as to conceal its identity,
for 1t was not thought advisable to give
the club too much OF the appearance OF
theatre. There are no footlights, and
the scenic effects are produced largely by
an arrangement of curtains and screens
The big front stage Is separated from

QUEENS WILL CATCH
EXCESS POPULATION
Home Seekers Must Follow Trend of
Transit Lines Eastward---Borough's
Future Assured

TIE trend in development of trans
narration lines in New York city is
inward the east, and this seems to as
,,re the future OF Queens. East of the
river is the geographical centre of the
civ and also its largest undeveloped
ara. When all the transit lines now
under construction are completed and in
oreration Queens will be the very centre
ol the greatest and most modern inter-
urban transit systems in the world.
There are four lines leading into
Queens from Manhattan Island. They
,ap the great shopping and trade dis
,-icts, and although they have been in
cperation only short time. their infiu-
ence on population, property values and
building operations Is already apparent.
Queens Is being transformed into the
greatest and at the same time the most
modern residential and trade centre of
the city.
The number of applicants and the
class OF living quarters which they de-
handed led to the erection OF the finest
multi-tamily structures, such as the Gar
den apartment houses at Jackson
Heights. In less than three years
ih!rty-four separate apartment buildings
have been erected. and over 600 suites
OF three, four, five and six rooms put
on the market at Jackson Heights,
renting for $40 and $l2 a room. They
were quickly snapped UP and there is
great demand for more OF this kind.
Calls 1t Land OF PROMISE"
Queens is the Land of Promise" for
New York city, according to a visitor
from the great commonwealth Of Aus
tralia who studied transit and civic de-
yalopment for the purpose of getting
ideas for use in his country.
1.-THE situation is unusual, since all
transit turns to the east" he remarked.
1T seems TO be the aim OF the civic
authorities to favor your Queens Bor-
ough rather than the others. / can see
The reason for it Your main borough Is
dreadfully congested and. for that mat
ter, there Is congestion in all boroughs
OF your city, except this one, Queens. 1t
strikes me that the aim Is to turn this
excess population into Queens. which
was surprised to learn is a section which
has not been in development more than
decade or two.
III this section he continued, has
doomed along in such remarkable man
rer in that short time, handicapped by
lack Of transit and trip across water,
! can imagine what will be the develop
ment of this corner of your community
when the full programme OF electric
transit planned by your city is in opera
ton over the most wonderful bridge and
through the finest tunnels I have seen
IN my tour of the world.
Jewellers will follow railway extern
sion, and no kind of urging will force
them into district which has not good
transit or the prospects of it within a
reasonable time. But we in Australia
are not 80 demanding of public services
as you New Workers, and I regret to say
We are not as keen in estimating the
value OF every service which the COM
monwealth provides"

Once Had Department store.

Mr.. Brown was born in Carlsbad, the
famous European watering place He
came to this country early in l!fe and
located in Paterson, y. J.. where for sew
eral years he conducted department
store.
"lt was not a large store as depart
ment stores go nowadays" says Mr.,
Brown. AT that time Paterson had a
population OF about 100000.
81 was interested in real estate then"
he continued. while | had the store I
became engaged in an extensive dcvcl-
opment OF unimproved land at Paterson.
and the efforts OF my associates and
myself resulted in the present Parkside,
the well known residential section of
Paterson,
II closed out my interests In Paterson
and turned my attention to New York
real estate about eighteen years ago. I
