American Shipping Firm Going litter
World Trade From Ne1u Bearer ST. Home

While the Seaboard National Bank
is building a new home, at the corner
of Broad and Beaver streets, the Kerr
Steamship Company will be engaged in
similar job directly opposite, on a
site on Beaver Street adjoining the
southeast corner of Broad Street. The
building will be twelve stories high and
will cover the property at 3S to As
Beaver Street and S South William
Street, which the company purchased
early this month from the United
States Realty Company and the City
Investing Company. The property has
frontage of 80 feet on Beaver Street.
The building to be erected, as illustrat-
ed, will be ready for the occupancy of
the company by next spring.
The first, second, third and fourth
floors and basement will be used by the
owners, and the rest Of the building
will be rented. Warren & Wetmore
have designed the building.
The Kerr company was the first
American corporation to defy German
submarines by sending q vessel to Eu-
rope despite threats that the Huns
would destroy neutral as we'll as enemy
shipping.

captain and a Yankee crew, was fitted

Improvement of the block with an
apartment building would have de-
stroyed that exclusiveness which has
come to this part of the avenue as q
result of the many millions of dollars
having been put into homes. The colony
has steadily expanded north and south
along Park Avenue, the James house
being the focal point. Only few
days ago Harold I. Pratt, of the Stand
ard Oil Company, purchased the south
west corner of Park Avenue and Sixty
eighth Street as the site for a dwelling
estimated to cost $500, 900. This site
is directly across from the hospital
block, and knowledge of the use planned
for the Hahnemann block no doubt led

Hahnemann Hospital is to be built
anew on Fifth Avenue, just north of the
Mount Sinai Hospital, an entire plock
having been bought as site for the
building or group of hospital buildings
to be erected. The Park Avenue block,
from Sixty seventh to Sixty-eighth

more than half a century, is to be de-

erected across the avenue from the

in the transfer of the we'll known insti-

checked the northward residential de-

of this. Fifth Avenue values went sky
high, but they dropped just as quickly

perhaps, explains the ownership by tl.e

Mr.. Bailey's company recently ad
vanced 100000 to help erect a group
Of garden apartments at Jackson
Heights, on the Corona extension of
the dual subway system into Queens.
and II was in this connection that Mr..
Bailey made his remarks on apartment
building. The Title Guarantee and
trust company was one of the first to
recognize the efforts of the Queens
boro Corporation at jackson Heights,
and besides financing the first opera
lions there, has loaned up to this time
total of about S1,2OO,O0O.
Some people have accused us of
withholding funds for home building
in greater New York." Mr.. Bailey said,
but l think this loan to the Queens,
boro Corporation refutes any such
statement. We made loans there be-
cause the type of houses being erected
at jackson Heights appeals 10 us as
good lending proposition. They are
splendld houses III every way, and | am
quite certain that they meet the re.
