Hotel Corridor Space
Put to Portable Use
Main Floor of Park Avenue ID
Leased for Offices and Show
Rooms for Silk Trade

The opening Of a new field Of rent
ing activity is indicated by the an.
nouncement by William A. White a
Sons Of the closing Of long term iesseA
with q number Of silk firms for o!icel
and show rooms On the ground floor Of
the Park Avenue Hotel, occupying the
block on the west side Of Fourth Avss
nue. from Thirty-second to Thirty-third
street.
The Park Avenue Hotel, like many q
the older hotel properties In the mid.
town section, had a large proportion Of
ground floor space utilized as parlors
corridors and reception rooms, which
produced no revenue. Owing 70 the
great demand for space in this section,
all space has now become too valuable
TO allow it TO remain without producing
revenue. The amount of non-revenus
producing space was increased when
the wartime prohibition act became
effective and the hotels profitable bar
and cafe trade was thereby eliminated
With the exception Of the Thirty
third Street corner, leases for the enc
tire floor space have now been closed
Negotiations for the rental Of this cor
ner are still pending.

Mr.. Kemp. Bobby Edwards. who is the
village troubadcur, is to have the gar
ret in the house at s Minetta Street,
which is shown in the accompanying
illustration.
Four Of the eight houses taken are
those at 2, 6, and 10 Minetta Street
and the four Immediately in the rear
on Minetta Place, which is an alley
running west from Minetta Street
about thirty feet and then at right
angles to it for about thirty feet. The
alley houses which have been taken
are /, 2, 3 and S. They are three
stories each and so many years old
that no one knows when they were
erected. Minetta Place, it is officially
called, but the police term it "the
Alley" 1t is a recognized highway
as far as it goes and the City Of New
York sees to il that street lamp is
maintained at the angle in the place.
The placing of the lamp in the alley
was for a good reason.
The police Of the old days when the
Mnettas were part of the Tcnderloin
and even up to the present have been
called to the alley to stop drunken
brawls. In the olden days night life
in the Mincttas was not peaceful and

The Minettas, the pest-hole of New
York, scorned and avoided by homeseek-
ers, the refuge Of people who shun the
sunlight, hell-hole which bears an
unsavory record in the files Of the Police
Department, are on the road back to the
high position which these little streets
enjoyed in the days long ago, when they
held the homes of New iork's finest
families. The Minettas are to be the
Latin Quarter" of New York.
Out Of the path Of the turbulent city
these streets, about a block long, be-
ginning nowhere and ending nowhere,
are we'll suited to the purpose for which
they are now to be put-the homes OF
artists, sculptors and writers.
Eight Of the worst houses in the
Minettas, ramshackle, vacant for years,
with windows and doors gone, have been
purchased and are to be made over into
comfortable homes for the use of pro-
fessional men. One old house, that at
8 Minetta Street, is to be made over into
a theater, which will be known as the
Thimble and will be operated by Harry
Kemp, the village poet, who will make
his home and write his plays in the gar
ret Of the house.

Plans have matured so rapidly
that Mr.. Kemp is now preparing the
staging Of the first show to be put on

Internal Revenue
Department Not Fair?

eve desire to inform you that
there seems to be a well defined
effort on the part Of the Internal
Revenue department of the gov
eminent having in charge the ad-
ministration OF the Federal income
tax law to drastically reduce in
some cities the percentage allowed
to cover depreciation of business
structures. The department seems
determined 10 rule, in a probably
increasing number Of instances. that
one per cent rate Of depreciation
on steel frame iireproof structures
is all that will be allowed on
deductible item on income tax re-
turns. and in this ruling to over
ride the findings of the depart
ment's local examiners.
"Your taxation committee feels
that this course OF action is with
out any scientific basis, and prob
ably taken for the purpose Of i'm
mediately increasing the revenue
OF the Federal government under
the income tax law. II it were not
for the fact that We probably have
the Federal income tax law with US
to stay, such ruling might prove
defensible solely on the basis Of
added revenue; but even this de-
Tense is removed when the prob
abilities are taken into account,
and the fact that our war with Ger
many is over. and therefore there
is no national need of immediate

plans changes for the Washington
building, at the lower end of Broad
way, which will mean practically n
new building. Only the skeleton OF
the present building is TO remain. The
structure, which has stood at Battery
Place and Broadway for thirty seven
years, is to be torn and hacked away.
The great waste Of space caused by
the structural details of the building
can be salvaged only by the ruthless
sacrifice Of practically everything but
the foundations and the steel frame.
The dark-red face, the turreted win
dows and the beacon-like cupola, which
undoubtedly are clear in the memory
of many naturalized citizens scattered
about the country-the building has
stood since 1882 directly in the path
Of the flow Of migration from the
Barge Office landing north into the
city and America-are coming down
and a straight front of classical lines
will be erected facing Battery Park.
Completes Blocks Development
When the building is completed,
which will be some time next year, it
may be said that the block from Bat
terry Place to Morris Street and from
Broadway to Greenwich Street will be
as intensely developed as the law and
building science will permit. On the
Morris Street end of the block. on the

the Colonies shortly after the Con-
tinental army was driven out OF New

Evacuation Details Arranged There
The impression is that it was in the
Kennedy house that some OF the details
concerning the evacuation of New YORK
ana the other Colonies by the British
were discussed with representatives, OF
the Continental army. The Kennedy
iamiiy came back 70 the house IN 1883.
The war over, the dwelling colony
around Bowling Green again took on
the life Of peace and comfort which
the trouble with the mother country
had INTERRUPTED.

at Wall and Nassau streets, and Cen

The builders OF the apartments said
yesterday that inquiries have come
from folks outside as we'll as inside

question and permanency of occupancy
are uppermost in the minds Of people
in all sections, and that distance is no
hindrance when relief is promised.
The larger number OF these people,
it was stated, are seeking TO own an
apartment on the cooperative basis

time keeping themselves outside the
pale of exorbitant rents. Cooperative

In the center Of the square was

George III of England Captain Ken
nedy removed the old Broen house short
Is after he bought it and also took down
his own home. He built on the site what
was considered one of the finest dwell
ings in the colony Of New York. Dark
clouds of disscnsion were seen on the
horizon, and though some considered
them threatening there were May who
did not think that way. Captain Ken

that nothing would come that would dis

Wanted No Interference
A former Mayor of this city one time
decided that he would inspect the
Minettas preliminary to cleaning out
the place. At the time negroes and
whites of very low types lived there.
They de.ied the Mayor to change their
way of living and they sent word to
him that if he came into Minetta
Street he would not leave II alive. The
police sent word to the negroes and
the white population that they were to
remain behind doors when the Mayor
came, but they told the police in Ian
guagc no less select than that sent to
the Mayor that they lived in the Minet-
tas and that they would do just what
they pleased.
The Mayor came as promised and so
did considerable part of the police
force. They went ahead Of and fanked
the head of the city. The attack came
as was promised and it was a fight
such as New York has rarely wit
messed. The policemen were the hus-
kies of the force and men whose nerve
was tested in fights there. 1t was
practically the end of the settlement
of perhaps the toughest criminal ele-
ment ever concregated The location
