one Of the old routes except the Third,
Sixth and Ninth Avenue elevated lines
loop off or transfer to a route into
Queens.
All Lines Turn East
AT Fifty-ninth Street the Broadway
subway turns east and continues into
Queens via the new SiXtieth Street tun-
mel, now nearing completion. The
Second Avenue elevated line sends its
trains across the Greensboro Bridge
into Queens at Fifty-ninth Street, the
linking of the elevated structure with
the bridge having been completed and
trains placed in operation from the
Brooklyn Bridge to Queens without
change At Forty-second Street the
Fourth Avenue lnterborough subway
transfers passengers to the greensboro
tunnel, which runs from the Grand
Central Terminal under Forty second
Street and under the East River to
Queens. From midtown Manhattan
many use the Long Island Railroad
from the Pennsylvania Station at
Thirty third Street The Greensboro
subway is to be extended across the
city through Forty-second Street west
to Times Square, connecting there with
all sub-surface routes which pass
through the Times Square union sta
tion. The Seventh Avenue route, which
is the West Side leg of the In
terborough Rapid Transit system at
present is connected to Queens by the
shuttle through Forty-second Street,

ticient encouragement for others to
come into the field. In less than three
years thirty-four separate apartment
buildings have been erected, ard more
than 800 suites of three, four, five and
six rooms put on the market at Jack
son Heights, renting for $40 and SIP 8
room. They were quickly snapped up
and there is great demand for more
OF this kind of construction.
Population Follows Transit
The tide of population now, as in
the days of old, is influenced by tran
sit. Make Fifth Avenue inaccessible
and its popularity will drop Immediate
~. Look back in the history Of New
York and it will be seen that transit
and population went hand in hand
The stage routes had more houses than
the back streets, and when the New
York Central installed its horse car
line through the Bowery to Fourteenth
Street, population followed in the
wake. The line was later extended to
Harlem and steam installed, and popu-
lation followed because of the speed-
ness of the route.
The operation Of the first subway
speedily brought value and population
to territory which still would be open

sent through it. For this reason
Queens is called the Land of Promise"

for New York City. A visitor here re-
Gently from the great commonwealth of
Australia who studied our transit and
civic development for the purpose of
getting ideas for use in his country said
of the borough:
The situation is unusual since all
transit turns to the east 1t seems to
be the aim Of the civic authorities to
favor your Queens borough rather than
the others. | can see the reason for it.
Your main borough is dreadfully con-
gested, and for that matter there is
congestion in the other departments of
your city except this one, Queens 1t
strikes me that the aim is to turn this
excess population into Queens, which I
was surprised to learn is a section
which has not been in DEVELOPMENT
more than a decade or two at the verv
most.
Bright Future Promised
IF this section has doomed along in
such remarkable manner in that short
time" he continued, Handicapped by
lack OF transit and aetrip across water,

velopment of this corner of your COM
munity when the full programme of

IN operation over the most splendid
bridge and through the finest tunnels

The transit map seems to support the
OPINION of this student because every

pierced by two dormer windows, and
an exact replica Of the buildings in
Amsterdam. The bedrooms were few
IN number and their furnishings con-
sisted of large canopied bed, stool
and table. The public room had q
sanded floor, in one corner of which
was tap or bar for the convenience
of the bibulous guest Later, when
the town was incorporated as a city,
the inn was converted into the City
Hall. All of the hotels built during
the next hundred years were of this
type.
With the exception of the Broadway
Central Hotel practically all of the
hotels which extended in Broadway
from the Battery to Fourteenth Street
have Disappeared
Times, nevertheless, change. Just
when the new hotel idea attracted
immense capital investment cannot be
recalled, but the recent merger of
large hotel interests into single own
erships would indicate that the better
class of hotels are more than ordinary
income producers.

Transit Development Taking
City's Population Eastward
Visitor to New York Says Wealth of Travel Facili-
ties for Queens Would Indicate Intention of
the Authorities to Build Up That Borough

Transit development of New York is
eastward. Beginning with horse cars
drawn by ancient nags, humping along
the Bowery on irregular rails back in
1858, the city's transit development has
been steadily to the east. To-day that
is the general direction of the new
lines, and rightly so, for east of the
East River is the geographical centre
of the city and its largest undeveloped
area.
There are four lines leading into
Queens from Manhattan Island, tapping
the great shopping and trade districts
on the way. Although these lines have
been in operation but short time,
their influence on population, construc-
ton and property values is already no.
ticeabe. Property on the line of the
subway into Queens IS being built up
with apartments. Land values are
much lower than in the upper part of
Manhattan, although transit facilities
there are no better than in Queens
and, in fact, when all the transit under
construction is in operation Queens
will be the very centre of the greatest
and most modern urban transit system
in the world.
Economists, investors and builders
are watching the working of the de-
velopment which is transforming
Queens into the greatest and at the
same time the most modern residential
and trade districts of the city.
The flow Of applicants for apart
ments is SO strong and the character
Of the new population is such as to
warrant the building of apartment
houses of the finest type. Some doubted
the advisability of apartment construc-
tion of the best type, but the success
which has attended the Garden apart
ment houses at Jackson Heights is suf-

Historically there can be much said
about the early days of hotel keeping
in New York. In former days all they
attempted was relative comfort. Hotels
were for travellers, and the tourist and
sightseeing guest was made as COM
Portable as possible.
The contrast between the present
day hotel and the inns of the early
Dutch and English days is nothing
short Of marvellous. Even at this
late day it is possible to make a COM
parson. The most famous hostelry of
q century ago is still standing in the
lower part of the city. Fraunces'
Tavern, once the Queens Head, at the
corner of Broad and Pearl streets, re-
calls the birth of our Republic

Series of Great Wings
Above this lower area the shape OF
the building has been dictated by the
typical bedroom floor plan. After much
study plan of alternate wings with
wide courts opening on the south was
adopted. There are four bedroom
wings, each 54 feet wide over all. and
three courts each 40 feet wide. In
general wing consists of a central
corridor with bedrooms on each side.
each bedroom having its own bath.
There are seventeen bedroom floors,
with an average of 125 bedrooms to
floor. Two of the floors have special
sections composed or living and recap
! tion rooms, dining room, pantry ana
bedrooms. 10 allow from three to ten
rooms to be thrown into one suite.
At the easterly end of the first bed
room floor are two complete Turkish
baths, one for men and the other for
women.
The Seventh Avenue roof contains a
garden restaurant, and the second wing
roof is left uncovered for use as an
outdoor after dinner lounging space,
accessible from the roof garden by a
wide bridge across the first court
One Of the striking Innovations Of
the Pennsylvania Hotel are the bed
room doors. These are ordinary doors,
/ but instead of the usual door panels
each door has a conrrivance which per-
m,ts of room service without the in
truson of the servants. The guest
opens the door panel and places in a
miniature closet clothes to be cleaned
and pressed, shoes to be polished, etc,
and from the opposite panel servants
take these articles and return thems
whereupon a signal is displayed to the
occupant OF the room announcing that
the service has been rendered.
Passengers may have direct access
to the Pennsylvania Station and the
subway by way of the first basement
floor, whereby they can reach the hotel
/ elevators without walking up to the
street level.

The aim Of the builders was to pro.

world and in so doing translate into
concrete expression the ideals and
enthusiasm of two of the leading hotel
managers of the country, John Nee
Bowman and E. M. Statler. Each hotel
possesses individuality and character

two mighty hotels recently completed
by the George A. Fuller Company,
builders, Paul Starrett, president.
These two additions to the long list
of New York hotels are the New Com
modore Hotel and the Pennsylvania
Hotel. The former adjoins the Grand
Central Terminal on the east and oc-
cupies the northwest corner of Lex
igton Avenue and Forty-second Street,
and the latter occupies the block front
in Seventh Avenue, from Thirty sec

period. On the Lexington Avenue side
of the building is the main restaurant,
the ceiling of which is modelled with
Italian arabesque ornament. suggestive
of the fresco decorations in the Vatican
and the Villa Madonna, in Rome The
mems cafe is designed in the English
Tudor style, and the grillroom is a
study in the Tyrolean effect.
Few New York Hotels enjoy the close
railroad and rapid transit connections
as the Commodore. Direct access may
be had to the Grand Central Station,
and the Pennsylvania station may be
reached by the subway across Forty
second Street, to Seventh Avenue.
where transfer is made to the new
Seventh Avenue line. Every known de-
wee to expedite service and add to the
comfort of its patrons has been in
stalled by the management. In short,
it is the last word in the field of hotel
construction.
Greatest in the World
The Hotel Pennsylvania has the dis
tinction of being the largest hotel in
the world, having 2,200 rooms. 1t has
twenty-five floors from the street level
to the roof, inclusive, and three levels
in the pent house.
- ic eiil4iS p+Ot, measuring EUOX4Uu
feet, is covered with solid building
for four stories above the street level
to the approximate height of the Penn
syl>vania station opposite. The ex-
terror treatment .of the building is of
Indian limestone and buff brick. In
the centre of the Seventh Avenue ia
cade is portico of six Ionic columns
marking the main entrance. The build
ing line has been set back fifteen feet
on Seventh Avenue to assist in the
scheme of producing a plaza in front
of the station.
The lower floors contain most of
the public rooms. On the street level
are the main lobby, Office. dining room
tea room, mems cafe, bar and shops
of various kinds. The Office lobby, the
largest in the city, has been designed
along lines that create an atmosphere
of cheerfulness. Sixteen great fluteo
columns rise from the floors, and mid
way between these columns extends
the mezzanlne gallery. From this mez-
canine promenade one may steY
