Razing Of Hun Fort5
On HeHg0Iand Isle
mn Require 3 Years

LONDON, Aug. 31.-Many inter-
esting details of the demolition Of
the fortresses on Heligoland are fur
nished by a special correspondent of
the Daily Telegraph who made a
trip to the island. Heligoland had
been transformed by the Germans
into something very like a station
airy ship Of war.
From one end to the other the is
land, which is little more than a
mile long and only about one-ffth of
q square mile in area. was tunneNed
and honeycombed~w with subterranean
chambers. In these were accommo-
dations for every one and everything
needed to fight the fortress-apart-
ments for officers and men, hOspi-
tails, engine rooms and storehouses.
If the island had been in "a serious
action, not a single man need have
shown himself in the light of day.
Three years is the German esti-
mate of the time required to dis
mantle the fortress completely, and
apparently the entente has accepted
the estimate as reasonable. The
shortage of special apparatus and
the need of caution in the use OF
high explosives are the retarding
factors in the demolition.
Although something like 10000

Home Building
Will Be Resumed
I'm Suburbs First
Clifford b. Harmon Believes
Country Will Show Way
i'm New Construction;
Land Buying Is Active

The amount Of site buying in the
suburbs supports the impression that
builders will be active in the country
sections long before city construction
will be of such volume as to attract
attention. Clifford B. Harmon, who is
developing Harmon on the Hudson, re-
ports that he has sold more land this
year than for several years and that
rs per cent of the property was bought
outright, which, in his opinion, indi-
Gates very healthy condition.
Mr.. Harmon states that the demand
this year has been largely for homes
costing from $500, with 100 feet Of
land, up to $4,000, with 200-foot 'front.'
age of land.
He plans to continue building, con-
fident that the demand for homes in
attractive surroundings convenient to
the city, such as are offered at Harmon
on the Hudson, will increase rather
than diminish.
City's Lack of Housing Helps Suburbs
Mr. Harmon said that, in addition to
the business which had come to Har-
mon because OF the housing shortage
in the cities, he thought that his COM
pany's building scheme had something
to do with the large volume of bust
ness transacted this spring and sum
mer.
"We have not raised our prices, nor
do we anticipate the necessity for any
increase in price for the next twelve
months"
New-York tribune., 1920-07-25
By Edward NJ. Bassett

One of the good features of the zon-
ing law is that localities may apply to
the Board OF Estimate to be put in a
more suitable district than they are
now in. 1t would have been unwise to
try to fix irrevocably the status of
every spot in the city. As the city
grows, changes must take place, but
the zonng law is designed to help
these changes bring about increased
deslrabllity and value instead of in
jury.
For instance, districts on the area
map permit new building covering
approximately Is per cent OF the lot
and accordingly arc adapted for
apartment houses, D districts permit
o0 per cent and arc therefore ADAPTED
to one and two-famijy block houses. 4
districts permit 80 per cent and are
therefor adapted to~detached private
houses. 1t sometimes happens that Il
locality of detached homes located in
{ or district would find it d great
advantage TO be placed in an + dis
trct so that its detached house char
acter would become permanent.
Te Preserve Private Home
The home owners of such localities
IN { district arc prompted to CON
slider making an application for such
change, because they want to pre-
serve the private home character of
their street or neigh hborhood by pre-
venting apartment houses from being
erected on few remaining vacant lots
or preventing some owner of dilapi-
dated private house from tearing it
down and erecting an apartment house
In its place.
If such locality is in a n zone
the property owners may desire to
prevent block houses for one or two
families here and there through their
street or neighborhood. The question
then arises, How shall the home own
ers IN such locality go to work to
effect a change to an e district, for
it has been found that the so per cent
requirement of E districts brine about
the erection of one-family, detached
houses?
The owners should first carefully
New-York tribune., 1920-07-25
Zoningg Law Provides for
Changes as to Localities
Character of a District May Be Changed to Meet the
New Conditions by Applying to the Board of
Estimate Where Such PROPOSALS Being Sought

consider the boundaries of the locality
which they desire TO be changed to
an = zone. 1t should not take in a
small fraction of a block because the
Board of Estimate properly does not
create exceedingly small districts.
The proposed locality should at least
takeNin either block or both sides of
a street between intersecting streets.
1T is preferable to have it take in a
large number of blocks The locality
should already have its character we'll
fixed as detached house district
Lessons Value Of Realty
If it is already shot through with
apartment houses or block houses, it is
not fair to force the owners of con
tIguous land into an Z district, as it
might lessen the value of their prop
erty if IT could rot be used for block
houses or apartment houses. After the
property owners have held a number of
local meetings and decided on the
boundaries of the legality, a petition to
the Board of Estimate should be pre-
pared asking that the locality (Which
should be described should be changed
on the area map from a c Cor d. dis
trict to an E district.
Owners of at least so per cent of the
frontage in the described locality
should sign this petition. and it is bet
ter if 70 per cent or more can be OBJ
talned. The Board of Estimate in
making changes to E zones requires a
high degree Of unanimity from the
property owners. This sis right, be-
cause it is an extreme use of the police
power to deprive land owner of his
right to put up any lawful edifce like a
block house or an apartment house on
his own land.
This petition should be transmitted
to the secretary of the Board of F,sti-
mate, Municipal Building. Manhattan.
1t is we'll to designate one or more OF
the interested property owners who
will follow the petition at various
hearings and see that whenever the
matter comes up on any calendar the
petitioning locality is represented
The official vote of the Board of Esti-
mate in case of success will be to

Tanners Hopeful

Tanners and hide merchants, while
predicting an early return to activities
in their products based on the expecta-
tions Of the resumption of operations

their prices quietly to stimulate bust
ness. During the last few days city
calf skins have been sold. according to
reports, for prices about 25 cents under
the nominal quotations. A fairly
large sale of city packer native steers
was reported late in toe week at 2S
cents, the price around which quota
tions have hung for more than a week

that they are buying hides only in

Omaha Office Building
Nearly Sold by Com Men
Had Arranged to Sell 1t TO Col
orado Rancher Who Wanted
q Safe Investment

Central Park has been sold many
times by glib confidence men to credu-
lous folks from the other side of the
world. Interests in the Brooklyn
Bridge, with its teeming activity, also
have been passed over to trustful folks.
One of the leading structures of
Omaha came near being bartered away
the other day by one Of those chaps
who always want to help folks to make
lot of money. A Colorado rancher, a
man who had met confidence men be-
fore and battlcd the world and made
it give him a good deal more than a
mere living, came near buying the
Woodmcn of the World Building from
men who had no interest in the struct-
ure whatever.
The rancher had displayed an inter
est in getting his money into some
good investment, and the Woodmen's s
building was suggested as the best of
Investments.
One of the sharpers produced the
supposed owner and lot of figures to
bear out the investment worth of the
building. The rancher was impressed
at the return he was to get from his
investment, which was comparatively
small as compared with the value of
the building. Suspicion was spilled by
the supposed owner and the Investment
specialists explaining that small sum
would be demanded, but the money was
needed quickly to protect a much
larger and more important investment
which for the moment was badly en-
barrasscd financially.
The detective in the hotel where the
men had met thought that too much in
tercst was being given the "open coun-
try man, and his suspicious were con-
hrmed by what he heard as he passed
the trio urging on the man in the cen
ter The worth of the investment he, was
about to make. The swindlers we're ar
rested and the man from the ranch
went back home with several thousand
dollars that he came near losing. The
Woodmcn of the World also retained
their building.
This game apparently is still new to
New York
