ton when the Broadway subway of
the q. X. T. system is completed. That
road after leaving Times Square will
go north on Seventh Avenue to Central

Not the least interesting feature of
Mr.. MacDougalFs move to solve tho
housing problem are his reasons for
going ahead at this time. when mos.
builders are holding back for one cause
or another. Mr. MacDougall takes the
point of view that the cost of labor will!
be maintained indefinitely and NAV
even advance to higher levels than
those quoted to-day. He believes that
shortage of all kinds of materials will
have to be made good by costly labor
and that under the circumstances s;ncc
laDor accounts for about rs per cent
OF the cost of producing q building.
construction costs must advance rather
than recede.
The present famine in housing is
dlrcct result of the almost complete
stopping of residential building during
the last two years." he said Yesterday

shortage in the city of about $4,000

mately 100000 persons.

others, that have combined to con-
vince US that it is our duty to do all
we can to help relieve the situation by
the earliest possible production of new
buildings of type that will appeal to
the discriminating tenant who will nav

such multi-family houses is. in our
opinion, the only sure solution of the
housing problem"
Mr.. MacDougall's idea of making ten
ants of his new houses partial owners
Is arousing a great deal of interest.
1t is not an entirely new plan, because
it has been tried with success
with many expensive, high class prop
critics in Manhattan. 1t is a new idea.

PRACTICAL Builder, With Practical Plan, Starts
Solution OF Housing Problem at jackson Heights

1t is the practical builder, after all,
who is providing the solution of the
housing problem. Just as in every
branch of industry where problems
have arisen, practical, experienced men
are taking hold to unite the knots that
have been caused by unusual conditions
brought about by the war, just so it is
the man who for years past has been
supplying New York with it's needed
accommodations who again is coming
TO the front at this time Theories
without limit find expression on every
hand, butt while theories are being ex-
pounded and schemes mapped out on
paper it is the man who has made it
his business to solve these problems
who again is in the forefront with 81
practical demonstration.
Edward A. MacDougall, president of
the greensboro Corporation, is the
practical man in this instance who is
showing the way to other practical peo-
pie, and there seems to be little doubt
that if his plans are followed by other
builders who have helped to make New
York the great and wonderful city that
it is the housing problem soon will be-
come thing of the past Mr. Mac
Dougal's solution is to 90 ahead with
the construction of large grouD of
moderate priced apartment house. on
part of the great tract which his COM
pany owns at Jackson Heights, in the
Borough Of Queens.
10 these houses he is applying the
"Own Your Own Home" policy by put
ting into operation collective owner
ship plan for the sale of them. This
plan contemplates share in the owner
ship Of the house by each tenant, and
since such ownership requires but q
small cash payment and lnstalments
thereafter of only few dollars more
than the normal rent the solution of
the housing problem as supplied by Mr..
MacDougall is progressive, and after
once getting started depends for it's
success only on the willingness of the
tenant to share in a small way the re-
sponsibilities Of ownership.
VI course there must be start to

Why Builders Won't Build

Indirectly and perhaps quite un-
consciously, the government is re-
sponsible largely for the housing
situation to-day" said Douglas l.
Eillman TO The Tribune last week
The excess profits tax is doing mere
to hinder construction Of apartment
homes in this city than is any other
agency | know of. Builders who
nave their money tied up in nev
buildings are unable TO sell ST
fair net return TO them, because
the government viii, take more than
' half of what they make. Big prices
arc being offered for high class
apartment houses. but the builders
will not sell. That is why they are
not going ahead with more con-
struction. | offered a builder to-

A Real Asset
to Pennington

How many folks in this community
know---how many realize--that Farm
ington has one of the best, most
thorough, most competene, most
worthy Business Colleges that is to be
found In this entire Statef While
there are many who apparently un-
dcrstand that the Ozark Business Col
|lege is good institution, for prepar-
ing its pupils for business career,
The Times ventures the assertion that
the number Of people, even in this
immediate community, who fully un-
derstand and appreciate what TINS
splendid school Is, and the immeasur-
| able good it is doing for its attend"
ants. are comparatively few.
Our reason for making the above
assertion is founded on the fact that
| a Times reporter visited the ozark
Business College the past week, ana
i the things he saw there were an ab-
solute eye-opener to him. The infor-
nation obtained on that visit was
such as to impress us that we could
not have been so lacking in informa'
tion as to the work that institution Is
doing, were such information IN pos
session of many of our citizens
While the Ozark Business College was
established in this city several years
ago. it has reached it's maximum O.
standing and strength only since ]
has been under the control OF Prof
Geo. A. Miller, who is most compe
tent and thorough instructor.
There is now student enrolimen
| in that institution of 85, with an av
erage daily attendance of 80. Prot
Miller seemed pleased to escort tn
reporter through his splendidly equip
ped school rooms, and thoroughly ex
planned the workings Of the variou
departments. In the typewriting de
, partment are something like. twent
! standard typewriters, about half o
