City y i'll Not Increase
Interest on Mortgages
Beroislaetmer Agrees Filth Hirsh
1t y ouid Have Bad Effect on
Rent Profteering Situation

The city will not increase the inter
est rate en- its mortgages from to 6
per cent, as planned, City hamberlain
Philip Berolzhcimer told Nathan
H!rsch, chairman o. the Mayors Com
,nittoe on Rent Protiteering, yester-
day.
Mr. Hirsch, when announcement of
the proposed raise in interest rate was
made, asked the City Chamberlain TO
reconsider his decision, as the increase
eventually would become an added bur
den to rent payers. A raise Of l per
cent in the interest would have Melted
the city $4,000, as the city holds sew
enty-slX mortgages, involving $780, 600.
After a conference with Mr.. Berolz-
heimer, am pleased to say Mr.. Hirsch
announced, that, as long as interest,
taxes and repairs on property are taken
care Of the rate of interest on mort
cages owned by the City of New York
Will stand at 5 per cent.
1T Is stipulated that the mortgagor
will make reasonable payments on the
principal. but his convenience will be
consulted in this regard. No increase
Will be made to any one. If the obiga-
tions are not met, of course, the city
will be forced to forecose. Mr.. Berolx-
heimer agrees with me that the in
creased rate he had in mind would

Old.Fashioned Buildings
With Suites of 6 and 8
Rooms Are Carved Up
in 2 and 3 Room Flats
Tenants Pay Just as Much
One Instance Given Where
500 Rental Is Run Up to
Sl98 at Little Expense

Owners Of many of the old fash
toned but substantial and comforta Bile
apartment houses and dwellings,. many
Of them in the best residential sec
tons OF the city, have discovered a
new and lucrative angle 20 the hous-
ing crisis, it was learned yesterday
The houses were built twenty and
thirty years ago, when there were
more apartments than tenants, one
landlord explained. At a moderate
rental each family had from six to
eight large, airy rooms.
With the advent of the housing
shortage many of the landlords in
creased the rents. In most instances
the tenants paid the advances without
protest. But the owners still felt that
the return was not large enough. Ther
finally determined to cut up the houses
into ultra modern, much frescoed two
and three room apartments, renting
each for a larger amount than that
paid for six and eight rooms before
the alterations.
During May, according to the figures
OF the Bureau of Buildings of Manhat-
tan, 126 buildings were altered and
ia plans were submitted. These rep
resented an outlay of $685. 400. During
June 1853 dwellings were altered and
1923 plans submitted at an estimated
expenditure OF Sl,176,000. Striking
proof that these alterations are in
spired by the housing shortage is Civ
en- by comparison of this years fig
ures with those for 1915 In June of
last year ffty-four alterations were
made and hfty-one plans submitted.
The estimated cost was S204.55O
During the first six months of this
year s11,l92,156.78 was spent for al
terations of all kinds. During the first
half of 1918 the total was s5,25S.776.
A typical instance Of this moderniz-
i.g was given in q letter to The Trib-
rne yesterday by man who signed
himself - Nictin Of Land Sharks"
A lessee took over six two-family
houses, the spondent said. The
houses are valued at $4,000 each The
monthly income was $50, $40 for six
rooms upstairs and the same for five

SAVE YOUR HAIR j AND BEAUT|FY IT
 WITH "DANDERINE"
SPEND 4 FEW CENTS! pANDRuFF DISAPPEARS AND HAIR STOPS
 COMING OUT
TRY THIS! HAIR GETS BEAUTi.
 FIJI, NAVY AND THICK IN a FEW MOMENTS

If you care for heavy hair, that glistens with beauty and is radiant with life: has an incomparable soft ness and is fluffy and lustrous, try Danderine.
 Just one application doubles the beauty of your hair, besides it imme- diately dissolves every particle of dan- druff; you cannot have nice, heavy hair if you have dandruff. This de- structive scurf robs the hair of it's lustre, it's strength and it's very life, and if not overcome it produces & feveTishness and itching of the scalp; the hair roots famish, osen and die; then the hair falls out fast.
 If your hair has been neglected and is thin faded, dry, scraggy or too oily, get q small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine at any druS store or toilet counter for few cents; apply little as directed. and ten minutes after you Eill say this was the best investment you ever made.
 We sincerely believe. regardless Of everything else advertised, that if you desire soft lustrous. beautiful hair and lots of it no dandruff no itching scalp and no more falling hair you must use Nnowlton's Danderine. If eventually-why not now?
