the building of the routes progressed
was not supported by financial interests
and the campaign in anticipation of the
great effect of the operation Of these
routes was delayed until the clements
of chance had been taken out Of build
ing promotion. 1t was too late then.
The war had come and the government
had sent broadcast its order organizing
the wealth and industrial reserve Of
the country for the fight against Ger
many.
The greensboro Corporation alone
took adequate account of the new con-
ditions During the time the Corona
line was being pushed out from the
bridge plaza, this corporation was
building apartment houses in the Jack
son Heights section in anticipation Of
the rush that would follow the opera
tion of trains over the route from New
York. This company had learned from
the daily press and from other inter
ests the character and volume Of the
demand for homes. Since the new tran
sit brought the greater portion of
Queens within the travelling time from
Grand Central that it takes to 90 to
parts Of Manhattan, the greensboro
Corporation and all building interests
be q strong factor in favor of the new
sections, and that since congestion WAS
unbenrablc in Manhattan the fact
there were houses over in Queens and
railroad connections to them would
lead population into the new districts.
1t is regrcttablc that war conditions
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-03-09

should have come just at the time that
these transit routes were completed
and put into operation. 1t is equally
regrettable that the last panic should
have had such an awning influence as
to halt, even in the light of demand for
homes, the financial support which
would have helped to cover all the
acres and acres Of property that line
both the Astoria and Corona routes
with housing accommodations. There
would not now be a housing famine in
New York, for it would have been pos
siblc to house many thousands of fam
lilies over there.
In the greensboro Corporation houses
in the Jackson Heights district there
Is not an apartment to be had. What
is more, there is list Of some 800

Their Programme

When the dual system was being
agitated and the Board of Estimate
urged to approve the scheme for the
future welfare of New York and its
people it was said that many benefits
would come from the operation of the
system 1t was said that population
would not stick in New York 1t would
move out into the new country, where
builders would provide homes that
would be cheaper and better than those
occupied in Manhattan; that the citi-
zcnry of the future would be improved
by the new living conditions, ample
playground and clear, fresh air; that
property values would be equalized
and to the advantage of the city as
we'll as property owners, because Man
haitian would not have to be taxed so
high, as other areas would be Justly
given values which could be levied or
by the tax department; high rentals,
except in certain classes of buildings,
would be impossible because the en-
larged field would prevent the supply
from ever being SO close to the de
mand as to materially influence rem

ulation, permitting the older sections
to be modernized and allow for trade
expansion, which had been hampered by
the fact that the area of residential
occupancy was chiefly in Manhattan.
Those who have watched the prog
ress of new rapid transit work and
the corresponding effect on popula-
ton, values and construction, both
from the academic and material

Of the men who urged the building
of the system would be visible to
every one if the war had not nipped
the bud just at the time when shoots
of the system were poisoning out.
Population and builders have not
overlooked the new transit, but vari-
Gus routes, which have been com
pleted. or partly completed and put
into operation, have not been capital
lied to the fullest.
War Ends Activity
In the case of Queens, when every
interest in the borough was lining up
to follow the opening of the Astoria
and the Corona lines with construc-
ton campai On that would have eclipsed
all precedent, Germany's aggravations
had reached the point where the Uni
ted States Government could no longer
remain passive and the month that
the Astoria loop was opened, President
Wilson asked Congress to vote the
existence Of war with Germany. 1t
was three months later that the Co.
roma route was put into operation.
The country set aside its peace
plans and ambitions and gave it's I'M
divided attention to winning the war
Long Island City became the centre
of one of the largest divisions in the
industrial army organized in this
country to back up the militant army
over there. Factories almost immcdi-
ately lost all connection with peace
time enterprise; they were turning
out great quantities of munitions and
the whole district vibrated with war.

Under such an atmosphere the pro-
sale business of building dwellings for
the market and apartments for rental
was out of harmony. There were many
other deterrent factors which even at
this time exist. They arc the control
of money for building construction,
and the high cost Of labor and build
ing material.
Money restrictions prevented build
ers carrying through campaigns which
they had prepared in anticipation OF
the operation of the new transit routes
through Queens. The unhealthy condi-
tions of the real estate field following
the panic of 1907, which. in measure,
was the result Of lberality, and
tho unreasonable faith of the lenders
in greatly exaggerated market, had
produced extreme caution.

struction in Queens, and the rentals
prevailing there are below what similar
suites bring in Manhattan Rentals in
the jackson Heights section have been
increased only in the older houses
where prices had remained at a level
OF several years ago. No advance has
been made in the newer houses there
despite the fact that operating costs
and maintenance generally has in
creased.
Tenants From Everywhere
The tenantry of this section, strange
to say, is not entirely from Manhat-
tan. Folks who have rented there
have come from all corners of the
country. Among them are number of
Southerners. They seemed to be i'm
pressed with apartment house facili-
ties IN the more open country. Large
rooms have a strong appeal to these
people.

cuples suite in one of the garden
apartments, said that she was we'll

Buchanan Said, "before coming to Jack

that she found the garden suites the
best. She moved to Queens in order
to be convenient to her husbands bust
ness. But she disclosed no regret.
She said that the open stretches per

Mrs. Buchanan's apartment, aside
from its harmonious proportions, is
flooded with sunlight, since all her
rooms face on the outside.
New building, which is the great
value booster, cannot claim credit for
the $1d,0O0O0 increase in the as
sessed valuation Of the borough. Val
ucs there have been moving upward
steadily, due to the new transit and
the prospects Of the resumption of
building on an unprecedented scale

Great Future in Sight

Great Future in Sight
In measuring the BLESSINGS Of tho
new transit system to Queens ono
must look to the future rather than TO
the present or the past. By every rule
OF reasoning there is no more promis-
ing section than this fan-shaped area
between the Brooklyn line, the East
River and the Sound The greatest
promise lies between the two new
transit routes, of course. When sta
olilty has been brought to the build
ing material and labor market there
VIII be let loose a volume of building
that will quickly transform the ares
which many thought would be covered
with apartments and two family houses
during the construction of the two
routes.
Only leader is needed to start the
machine moving. Like all gigantic ma
CHIMES, it will take little time before
1t has worked to a momentum that is
perceivable. 1t may be several months
before the long delayed building move
ment Will get started in Queens A
meeting Of the real estate interests of
the borough was held last week at the
Queens boro Chamber of Commerce.
when plans for backing up the sugges,
tlons Of the government to start build
ing as solution of the labor and hous-
ing situation were discussed. 1t is also
known that the greensboro Corpora
ton has on hand 100000 which it
plans to use in duplicating is garden
apartments or financing builders who
Will erect buildings of the same high
character on its property, comprising
about 100 blocks to the north of the
Corona route, and centring on the
Iwenty-fifth Street station.
Transit statistics show that the
planners of the dual system saw the
situation correctly when they said that
it would carry folks out of congested
areas into outlying districts in large
numbers. 1t is doubtful if they ever
expected that within a year of opera
ton that more than 10000 persons
would be travelling over these corn
field routes. Since the operation of
the two routes 19,443, 300 persons have
used them. That means that in about
fifteen months. more than three times
the population of the Greater City has
ridden over the two new transit routes.
Statistics are startling in the story
they tell, and what they mean, in sum
ming up the future of the north sec
tions of Queens borough.
