ALL ROADS LEAD
TO CLAFLIN ESTATE
Even Columbus Circle Has No
Better Transit Facilities,
Experts Say.

An opportunity to compare the effect
and advantage OF rapid transit on two
distinct sections of the city is presented
in the forthcoming sale of the H. B.
Clafiin estate. in the University Heights
and Jerome Park reservoir section of
the West Bronx, by absolute auction on
Tuesday, September 23. at noon by
Joseph P. Day, auctioneer. The sale will
be held in the Real Estate Exchange.
IA and 16 Vesey street.
The other section OF New York with
which the Clahin district is most aptly
to be compared In regard to transit
facilities Is that bounded by Broadway
and Lexington avenue, Fifty-ninth to
ii0th street, and OF which Central
Park forms the largest part.
In the case OF the Claflin estate the
district OF which 1t Is a large and most

on the east by Jerome avenue and on
the west by Broadway. The heart and
centre of this growing and promising
district of the West Bronx is the Claflin
estate and the Jerome Park Reservoir.
With the sale of the Clafiin estate to
separate buyers all other development
in this section must be confined to the
property east and west OF the estate
and north of the Jerome Park Reser-
voir.
From the point of view of transit
facilities, the comparison between Column
bus Circle section of Manhattan and the
Clafiin district of The Bronx shows that
there is the same concentration of rapid
transit facilities at each of these two
points
The Claf1in estate lies within one block
OF the Kingsbridge road station Oh the
Jerome avenue extension of the Lexing
ton avenue subway. with direct Sixth
and Ninth avenue elevated railroad con-
rections. The property fronts on the
south on Kingsbridge road, which is the
route OF the crosstown electric surface
line that connects the Jerome avenue
subway with the Broadway subway in
Manhattan at 22Sth and 231st street
stations. University avenue, which ev-
tends through the property to Reservoir
avenue, is the route of the University
avenue electric surface line which oper-
ates across the Washington Bridge 20
the 1S1st street and Broadway (Man-
hattan) subway station On the Bruad-
way line. The 2O7th street station on
the Broadway line is accessible By way
If the electric surface line In Fordham
Dad, which also connects with the Ford
ram station OF tne Harlem DIVISION OF
the New York Central and the Third
avenue elevated. Also within a few
blocks west of the property are the
Hudson River and Putnam divisions of
The New York Central.
This concentration of rapid transit ia
c,lities is even greater than in the
Columbus Circle section OF Manhattan
end is not equalled in any other section
Of The Bronx.
The sale of the Clahin estate which
consists of All lots with frontages in
Kingsbridge road, Sedgwick, Webb, Uni
Versity and Reservoir avenues, will open
UP to immediate development and new
building operations.
This superably located section is in
the Borough of The Bronx, the popula-
ton of which has grown from 20l,oo0
In 1901. TO more than 100000, as esti-
mated on January 1. 1919.

The feature exhibit in the "Own Your
home expositions at the Seventy-f1rst
Regiment Armory, will be the drawing
contest for the complete house, equip
ment furnishings and lot which will be
given to the fortunate holder Of the
lucky coupon.
This house and equipment as shown
In the exhibit will be located on a high
grade lot at Elmhurst at Flushing Bay
ana the entire proposition will be decided
over free and clear to the winner of
the drawing which will be held at the
close Of the exposition.
The house was manufactured by the
Standardized Sectional Construction
Company and is year round dwelling
containing four rooms. but permits Of
being increased In size by the owner,
who can add a room at his own con-
venience.
While portability Is a feature Of this
dwelling, 1t is by no means the main
feature, as the inventors do not wish to
have 1t felt that this fact should sug-
gest lack Of permanency, strength or
construction that is not in every way
equal to the construction of year round
houses familiar to the public.
1t has been designed to meet and
solve the shortage of housing and to
produce an article of high merit at a low
cost, and the inventors have felt that
the only way to accomplish this was by
Standardization and a large quantity
production.
1t has been provided that in the build
Ing of these houses a system shall be
employed such as is now used in the con-
struction Of the Ford car and the Sec
tions, which are 2 feet s inches by s
inches, will be turned out of the factory
completely finished inside and outside.
The assembling of these sections on
the site selected is a matter of only
few hours and requires absolutely no
experience and may be put together
easily and rapidly by two unskilled
laborers from written directions with
only wrenches for tools. Every section
is drawn together in compression and
there is not Joint IN the house that is
not absolutely airtight.
The construction is such that apso-
lutte comfort is provided in the warmest
or coolest weather due to the fact that
II Is built with an air chamber between
the exterior and interior wall between
each section which establishes and pre-
serves fixed temperature as desired,
preventing radiation of heat or cold
from the exterior, and in severe winter
weather effectlng an enormous saving
of fuel consumption due to the fact that
the greatest possible units of heat gem
Grated will be retained and not expended
in radiation through the walls as is the
case with single wall construction.
Every section is Identical and inter-
changeable and there is no necessity for
selection. The side sections may be used
as front sections or applied as roofing
and the assembling is simply a process
of adding one section to the other, Just
as easily put up rs taken down. The
devices Joining these houses are OF such
strength and construction that a cyclone
or earthquake might blow them over

INDORSE CAMPAIGN
FOR BRONX MARKET
EIkus Commission Asks City
to Start Trading Centre.

The campaign for a terminal market
on the Harlem River in The Bronx
which the Bronx Board of Trade has
been carrying on for several years was
ms terially aided by the last section of
the report of the State Reconstruction
Commission. Abram Elkus, chairman,
which was rendered to Gov. Smith last
week. Terminal markets for New York
city and a permanent programme for
terminal market development by the city
and State were recommended. The COM
mission urged that the city OF New ork
select site Immediately and start the
construction of a modern terminal mar
ket in The Bronx, connected with all the
railroads entering The Bronx and with
docks along the Harlem River In its
report the commission said
such a market would also serve as
Wholesale centre for the cities OF West
chester county. particularly Mount ver-
non. Yonkers and New Rochelle, and
many cities further north, which now

The exterior is finished In such man

dictlon Of the fve Borough Presidents.
The city exhibit consists Of maps. charts,

the building situation in this city.
Mayor John F. Hylan and Nathan
Hirsch, chairman of the Mayors Com
mittee on Housing and Rent Proflteer-
ing, together with many city officials
will give daily talks at the exhibit. The
community councils will distribute lit
erature urging the coopertion OF all citi-
zens under the direction of w. J. Lee
director of the citys exhibit of the
Mayors Committee.
The city's population has increased
since 1910 approximately 81 per cent
The population in 1910 was 4,766,S63
IN 1919, 6.244,616. Chicago's popula-
ton is 3,059.396, less than half of New
York city. With the increasing popu-
lation Of New York, the wonder city of
the world, the exhibition will endeavor
to show that II is high time that the
business men, labor organizations and
the city administration got together tc
promote a building programme on the
largest possible scale.

overburdened railroads of a country at

thousands of men for the purpose OF

why the realtors at the housing corpora

visions OF the bureau that this procedure

Used Existing Utilities.
Upon appeal to the Secretary OF
Labor It was soon decided that existing
utilities should be used whenever avail
able. As a result homes for the indus
trial war workers were located in select
sections away from the works. but
where previously installed transporta-
ton systems, schools, churches, amuse-
ment and underground utilities were to
be found. and the creating OF separate
villages, where workmen and their fami-
lies were to be isolated under so-called
aesthetic surroundings, we're discontinued.
II am of the opinion that the Secre-
tary knew, and I know you know. that
the workmen centres in this country
have with a few possible exceptions
proved a failure. They became known
as the mill town. and that means the
American born Industrial worker will
not permit his family to live In a mill
town separated from all except those
Of his own craft. and he Is right in
not doing so.

authorize a commission to visit Europe

of its adoption in this country. Con-
