Criticism Of 1l-Advised
Cooperation Approved
Real Estate Men Think Public Should Be Warnea
but Take Exception to Quinn's Inference Tbs
All Cooperative Schemes Are Bad Investmer..

The Juror in real estate circles
caused by the attack made by Alderman
Quinn about ten days ago on the co..
operative apartment buying plan has
not subsidized even little in the mean
time. Brokers take exception to the
broad inference of Mr.. Quinn that buy
ing living space in a building is an un-
safe investment. They say that such
inference might be true of the cooper
alive schemes of several years ago,
but that time and experience had dis
closed the weaknesses, which have been
eliminated in many plans now adj
vanced.
Some brokers do not go that far, but
say that Mr.. Quinn has made the mis-
take of NOT separating the good from
the bad; In other words, meaning that
there are cooperative plans which do
not assure the safest kind of invest
ment.
Douglas L. Gilman, president Of
Douglas L. Gilman & Co., which COM
pany has arranged many cooperative
deals for apartments in the Fifth and
Park avenues sections, said yesterday
that he concurred most heartily in any
since criticism or effort made to warn
the public against ill-conceived. UNI
strupulous and dishonest cooperative
housing projects.
while it is doubtlessly true, as
Alderman Quinn stated, that some of
the more recent cooperative promotions
have been inaugurated with the. intent
to coerce the tenants into purchasing
the property involved at an inflated
valuation, it is quite as true that mil
lions of dollars have been voluntarily
invested in free and clear properties
of this character by some of the city's
most prominent Bankers attorneys,
accountants and other prominent pro-
fessional and business men, not one OF
whom would have invested single
dollar in any sort Of cooperative prof.
ect unless he had first assured himself
of the absolute safety of the capital SO
invested and of the advantages OF pur-
chasing on the cooperative plan, as
compared to renting.
Danger Lies in Inflated Equity
alderman Quinn stated the case
correctly when he said there was a
certain element Of danger in purchas-
ing a share in an inflated equity over
an unduly large, short-term mortgage.
at is, of course, preferable, but not
always possible, to erect comparatively
owned buildings without the aid of a
mortgage loan. This is the practice
that has been followed in the case of
a number of the more prominent houses
of this character in the Park Avenue
and Fifth Avenue district. This same
policy has been adopted in the con-
structicn of the new thirty-one- story,

Catskills on the west.
Open Fireplace in Every House
In every house was built a great
open fireplace, with warming ovens on
the side. Country house builders are
returning to the open hearth, but it
seems from the stories told about
the modern-built hearth that the art
of open fireplace building is lost
one.
The timbered ceilings, the fireplaces,
the simple but attractive staircases
did not escape Mrs. Phillips. She To-
Gated the owner and purchased three
or four of the seventeen buildings on
both sides of the road. For the single
family houses she paid about $1,000
and for the double-family homes about
$4,000, perhaps little more. She en-
gagged an architect, who carried out
her ideas for altering the homes. She
studied~very carefully the cost of every
change, as she had limited the expense
of making over the homes and was
determined to make the old houses at
tractive and comfortable homes within
the money appropriated.
Money Made to DO Much
1t is nothing creditable to make an
abandoned house beautiful home at
great expenditure of money, but it
is educational and notable also to
make forgotten structure habitable
and pleasing home at a small out
lay Of money. For this reason Mrs.
Phillips studied carefully every sug-
gestion that entered her mind and
those offered by the architect. What
she accomplished, and at an outlay
within the amount paid for each house,
encouraged others to buy and alter
other old Titus industrial homes.
Among those who snapped up the
old homes were several New Workers..

ALIEN RAIDS SCORED

Seventeen Persons Arrested by

the federal Department of Justice in

verely scored by Judge George w. An
derson of the federal district court in
announcing his decision that seven
teen persons arrested in the raids and
