$4,000 to $4,000. Three years ago one
could have his choice at $4,000 and
buy on terms. Rentals in these houses,
which totalled about $4,000 a year,
now come to from $ll.500 to $4,000,
with he likelihood OF another increase
in October.
A condition which has helped the
boom in fees and rentals is the small
amount Of unimproved property in the
upper part Of Manhattan, which means
New-York tribune., 1919-03-23

that competition from new construc-
ton will be limited III that section.
This is not the case in The Bronx,
where great areas are awaiting the
coming Of the builders.
Whether new construction will ma
tcrially reduce rentals may be judged
by the fact that builder who has
in mind the erection OF a non elevator
house in the Sedgwick Avenue section
of The Bronx has discovered that he
viii haVo TO charge $50 a room to JUS
tify the investment. The house would
cost S220,00O to put up. Three years
ago about $4,000 would do the same
Job we'll
1t is likely that s15 room will be
the average in the West Bronx for high
class apartment accommodations and
that S12 Will be the average in the
East Bronx for this year. Since new
construction on Washington Heights
will cost at least % per cent above
that of three years ago. present rentals
will move up close to those which will
be charged in new construction. The
competition is really against new con-
struction, and until builder with
courage and money such as G. L. Law
renee takes the initiative others will
hold back

they VIII never return TO formee levels
the investor will buy real estate. since
1T has the advantage o: income tax cX-
emptions, which few other investments
haze.
Hold for High Prices
SO promising is the outlook that a
number of operators are refusing bids
for houses which they bought AZ the
start Of the cXtcnslre buying in the
uptown sections. One operate. who
has purchased extensively on Washing
ton Heights says he has not parted and
viii no, part with half of the realty
he has acquired. lie SAID that he has
purchased several million dollars worth
of apartment houses since the early
part OF December and Will hold out
for the market which viii be sup
ported by investors.
Apartment house property in the
Heights section has value close to
100000 above wS.a1 it had at the
end of last year There arc 500
houses in the section north OF l55th
Street. each of which is worth at least
$4,000 more than before the boom. 1t
is estimated that every one of the 900
dwellings in the section has increased
from $1,000 to $4,000 in value i'm the
same interval. The increase is abso-
