American Shipping Firm Going Ajter
World Trade From Ne1u Bearer ST. Home

While the Seaboard National Bank
is building a new home, at the corner
of Broad and Beaver streets, the Kerr
Steamship Company will be engaged in
similar job directly opposite, on a
site on Beaver Street adjoining the
southeast corner of Broad Street. The
building will be twelve stories high and
will cover the property at 3S to As
Beaver Street and S South William
Street, which the company purchased
early this month from the United
States Realty Company and the City
Investing Company. The property has
frontage of 80 feet on Beaver Street.
The building to be erected, as illustrat-
ed, will be ready for the occupancy of
the company by next spring.
The first, second, third and fourth
floors and basement will be used by the
owners, and the rest Of the building
will be rented. Warren & Wetmore
have designed the building.
The Kerr company was the first
American corporation to defy German
submarines by sending q vessel to Eu-
rope despite threats that the Huns
would destroy neutral as we'll as enemy
shipping.
The Rochester, manned by u Yankee
captain and a Yankee crew, was fitted

old hospital property. He would not say
anything that would lead to disclosing
the identity of the buyers. They arc
not real estate mp. however, but a
group interested in the LenoX Hill sec
ton of Park Avenue, who want to fur
ther the fine residential development
which has followed the erection by
Commodore Arthur Curtiss James of
one of the finest dwellings, in the city,
at the northwest corner Of Park Ave
nue. and Sixty-ninth Street.
Improvement of the block with an
apartment building would have de-
stroyed that exclusiveness which has
come to this part of the avenue as q
result of the many millions of dollars
having been put into homes. The colony
has steadily expanded north and south
along Park Avenue, the James house
being the focal point. Only few
days ago Harold I. Pratt, of the Stand
ard Oil Company, purchased the south
west corner of Park Avenue and Sixty
eighth Street as the site for a dwelling
estimated to cost $500, 900. This site
is directly across from the hospital
block, and knowledge of the use planned
for the Hahnemann block no doubt led
Mr. Pratt to buy the corner and in
f1uenced the large amount of morey
which he will spend in the construction
of his new home.
Homes of the type to be erected by

Hahnemann Hospital is to be built
anew on Fifth Avenue, just north of the
Mount Sinai Hospital, an entire plock
having been bought as site for the
building or group of hospital buildings
to be erected. The Park Avenue block,
from Sixty seventh to Sixty-eighth
streets, occupied by the hospital for
more than half a century, is to be de-
veloped with fine homes, such as those
erected across the avenue from the
property and in the general section TO
The west. The deal, which will result
in the transfer of the we'll known insti-
tuition from Park Avenue to Fifth Ave-
nue., was completed yesterday, when
I. Frank Manville, president of the
board of trustees of Hahnemann Hos
pital, signed away the institutions in
terest in the Park Avenue realty and
acquired the Fifth Avenue premises
Douglas L. Gilman & Co. engineered

have received for the Park Avenue site

Mount Sinai Hospital. originally located
opposite the Seventh Regiment Armory
on Lexington Avenue. from SiXtV-siNth
to SiXty-seVenth street, purchased the
block on Fifth Avenue from Tooth to
1Olst street, Fifth TO Madison avenue,
on which Mount Sinai Hospital now
stands. The coming Of the hospital has
checked the northward residential de-
velopment on Fifth Avenue, and the
impression is that Fifth Avenue, north
of Mount Sinai Hospital will be pur-
chased by similar institutions. because
property values there are not much
higher than on Third Avenue. The
outlook over Central Park makes this
property ideal for institutions

came to Fifth Avenue it was the belief
that the men interested in the steel

low his example and build homes north
of the "old masters" On the strength
of this. Fifth Avenue values went sky
high, but they dropped just as quickly
when it was announced that a hospital
was to be built in the section. This,
perhaps, explains the ownership by tl.e

Plenty of Money
For Builders Who
Build Good Houses
Frank Bailey Points to Title
Company Loan at Jack
son Heights as Evidence
of a Desire to Help

That there is plenty of money to
hnance the erection of apartment
houses in New York City was init
mated yesterday by Frank Bailey, vice
president of the Title Guarantee and
Trust Company; but the houses erect
ed, according to Mr. Bailey, must be
OF type that will appeal to renters,
thereby making them good PROPOSE
tlons from the lenders point of view.
Mr.. Bailey's company recently ad
vanced $500,O0O to help erect a group
Of garden apartments at Jackson
Heights, on the Corona extension of
the dual subway system into Queens.
and II was in this connection that Mr..
Bailey made his remarks on apartment
building. The Title Guarantee and
trust company was one of the first to
recognize the efforts of the Queens
boro Corporation at jackson Heights,
and besides financing the first opera
tions there, has loaned up to this time
total of about S1,2OO,O0O.
Some people have accused us of
withholding funds for home building
in greater New York." Mr.. Bailey said,
but l think this loan to the Queens,
boro Corporation refutes any such
statement. We made loans there be-
cause the type of houses being erected
at jackson Heights appeals 10 us as
good lending proposition. They are
splendld houses III every way, and | am
quite certain that they meet the re.
qu'rcmcnts of the people who want TO
lIvn deccntly at a moderate expense" ="
Mr.. Bailey intniated that the Title
guarantee and Trust Company willcon-
tinue to help the greensboro Cor
poration to provide housing for the
congested population of New York.
