Capital Ready to
Provide HOUSINGS
For City's Firms
l.. III. Slawson Forms Strong
Mortgage and Investment
Group to Undertake Big
Building Enterprises

Under an arrangement between large
mortgage and investing interests per-
fected by Lotion H. Slawson, it is now
possible for any responsible business
concern to have exactly the space
1T requires in any location desired on
Manhattan Island Details Of the plans
which just now have been announced
indicate that it is one of the most
important developments of the rapidly
expanding real estate market. Execu-
ton of the plan on a large scale will
help materially to relieve New York Of
the pressing demand for business space
The plan of operation as explained
by Mr. Slawson is both novel and inter
estlng. There are two distinct inter-
ests which take part in the development
OF sthe idea. The first is the investor
or equity interest. The other is the
mortgage interest.
1t is the business of the investor or
equity interest to receive and pass on
applications for individual buildings for
business tenants. When the application
is acceptable it is passed on to the
mortgage interest to be figured for a
loan. Final decision whether to pro-
S~@u Win Iuc operation TeSCS Win the
equity interest, for it is their part to
furnish the difference between the
amount of the mortgage and the cost
of the structure. Single tenants only
are to be considered and only such
propositions will be taken on as meet
with the approval of the mortgage
lenders who are interested in the plan.
1t is Mr.. Slawson's belief that prop
critics produced under such plan will
prove to be most attractive invest
ments. Rented on long term leases and
on net rental basis, he expects them to
offer such advantages to investors that
new capital will be drawn into the
real estate market. Only Manhattan
Island will be considered by Mr.. Slaw-
son and his associates as a field for
operation.
The combination of capital which
Mr.. Slawson has formed heretofore
operted Individually with considerable
success. Now, with interests joined
their field will be greatly enlarged
with resultant ability to undertake
operations of even the greatest magni-
tude. They have already practically
closed negotiations for several impor-
tant structures.

Rush for Downtown

On Pearl St. to Buy
Pays Klein & Jackson Their
Price for 100 and 162
Pearl Street, to Make Sure
of Quarters in Section

Downtown New York is as close to
real estate mad as it is possible to be-
The buying for investment is intoxi-
eating in its effect and every concern
of any size which does not own it's
building or wants more space is seri-
ously contemplating purchase rather
than lease, because it is moret econom-
ical with rentals as they are to buy
fee than to buy the privilege of using
q certain amount of space for q given
period.
The big real estate men in the field
are hard at it trying to meet the de-
mand placed on them by business con-
Germs. How widespread is the buying
movement may be judged by the pur-
chase yesterday of the property at 100
and 1862 Pearl Street by Angelo, who
conducts the restaurant at 161 Pearl
Street Angelo has built up a business
there that dates back many years, and
he feared that in the rush for space
that some one would buy the building
he occupies and turn him out Klein
& Jackson offered him the opportunity
of remaining on Pearl Street. directly
across from his old stand. and lust
north of Wall Street, so he took it.
The Charles F. Noyes Company ar
ranged the deal. The property was
held in the market at $125OOO. Two
five-story buildings cover the property,
which is 4610 feet wide and 100 feet
deep. The buildings will be altered
if not removed entirely and a new
structure erected. The new building
will be an Office structure in addition
to housing Angeles restaurant. The
realty adjoins the old Tabor Building
at the northeast corner of Wall and
Pearl streets, which was taken over
several months ago on a longtime
lease by the Pacific Development Com
pany.

Improper lighting systems used In
the home school room and office are
responsible TO large degree FOR the
increase IN defective vision and dis
eases OF the eye, according to DR. C. E.
Ferrec, professor of psychology ut
Biyu Mawr college. Doctor Ferrce
was one OF the speakers at meeting
Of the Illuminating Engineering So
ciety. He said: Defects of vision
are increasing at an alarming rate in
this country / have lnadefa large
number Of experiments for ietecting
the comparative tendencies of different
lighting conditions TO eauseia loss'in
the eyes power to sustain clear seeing
for. q period of work. From these ex.
periments il was clear that the light.
ing systems in use In most homes, of
fees and In schools where night work
is done are detective and faulty and
really, responsible to a large degree for
eye trouble" Doctor Ferrees expert
ments dealt With the effect on the eye
of three lighting installations-dire
semi-indirect and indirectAso select
ed as TO give wide differences in illu
minatfng effects. He declared that in
direct and semi-indirect illuminating
systems resulted in little or no strair
on the eye.
