point.
There is one point which needs en-
phaslzing in this plan The question is
OFTEN asked, "Why not sell q man an
apartment instead of a stock interest
IN the building?" There are two rea-
sons One of them has been referred
to-namely, the tenant who moves away
IS not held responsible, if he owned
his apartment, to find tenant or paw
the rent himself.
Protection Of the Owner.Tenant
The second reason, of more impor-
lance to the tenant-owners, is to pro
tect them in possible deterioration in
the tenancy of the building. which
might arise if one Of the original own
ers, through some reverse Of fortune
might sell his stock at q low price to
an undesirable person. If the stock
carried right to the apartment this
person could demand the occupancy of
the apartment and thereby cause an
noyance to other occupants of the
building which would have a depress-
ing effect upon the value Of the in
vestment.
Under the cooperative ownership
plan there is, of course, no restriction
upon any tenant-owner to sell his stock
and situation might arise where the
stock would be sold to some undesira-
BILE person, but such purchase of stock
would not carry the right to occupy an

apartment and all tenants would have
to conform to the standard set by the
corporation owning the building.
This plan, In the opinion of num-
Der who have studied it and who are
familiar with the real estate situation
in New York, offers possible solution
to the sale of large apartment build
ings throughout the city.
Jackson Heights Advantages
The community advantages and facill-
ties of Jackson Heights, where the
buildings owned by the Greensboro
Corporation are erected, assist mate
rally in effecting sales of buildings
along these lines, but it is believed
that a similar plan of sale, If intellt-
gently handled, can be made effective
in other apartments in the city. Real
estate men who have studied the trend
Of the market in recent years have
seen the tendency Of large mortgages
to be subdivided into small bonds and
sold to the general public. The same
tendency with regard to the subdivi-
sion of the equity among number of
owners seems a logical development.
in view of the high cost OF large
buildings and the comparatively few
people who can afford to purchase them.
The plan is attracting considerable
attention at this time because OF the
fact that for q comparatively small
outlay upon the part of any individual
he Is able to protect himself in tho
matter of rentals and in cooperation
with others protect his environment.
Concerning the Plans Success
The success of the plan 10 Of course
contingent upon the careful selection
of the original tenant-owners by tho
brokers for the sale of the buildings.
After this. is done and a competent
agent employed to manage the build
ings there are very few points of contact
or possible friction between the tenant
owners who continue to live in the
before as tenants, with the possiblo
exception that they feel certain pride
in their apartments and in the building
as owners which they did not feel while
merely renting their accommodations.

The achievements Of the retiring Of
ficers of the Westchester County Realty
Board-Walter K. Cooley, president;
William R. Bull. Thomas S. Burke. L.
Ward Prince, Edward C. Griffin, vice
presidents; S. L. Angel, treasurer, and
William H. Mills, secretary-are worthy
of commentator. The board has ac-
complished much for the general well
fare of Westchester, for the men who
trade in real estate and for those who
live there and will come to live there,
because the work of the board was
as much of civic nature as it was
professional.
Every ambition of the board could
not be realized at once. The brokers
planned transit Improvements both on
the great railroad systems and on the
trolley routes operating through the
county. They carried the needs Of
the county to the transit heads as only
such an association could and have
won the promise if not the actual ser
vice asked for.
The standardization Of real estate
documentary forms; the equalization of
brokerage charges; progress made in
bringing about an equalization of taxa
ton in Westchester are some of the
real accomplishments of the retiring
board.
Progress also was made toward plac-
ing the real estate brokerage business
under the jurisdiction of the state
which will mean benefit not only to the
brokers but also to those investing in
Westchester real estate.
Standardization of real estate forms
eliminates the possibility of fraud or
tricky real estate deals. The wording
of each document is such that it Gun be
accepted By buyers or sellers with the
certainty that there is no underlying
meaning in them which will work to
their advantage Every member OF the
Westchester association must use the
standardized form, which is to be iden-
titled by the seal of the association
printed at the top Of the document.
It Is the opinion Of Mr.. Mills, Sec
rotary Of the retiring board and also
secretary Of the new board, that the
Standardization Of forms used in the
transactions in real estate will have 9
most beneficial effect on real estate.
The model forms were prepared to dis
courage dishonesty and give assurance
of fair play to those contemplating
coming to Westchester.
As further protection to the buying
public, it is the hope Of the board to
have passed this year its bill or some
other bill licensing real estate brokers.
This would place tho real estate pro-
fession under the direction Of the
state and prevent unscrupulous men
from engaging In the sale Of real
esthte. Three yeAfs ago the West
chester board advocated such meas
ure, and 1t would have passed. perhaps,

Improved Realty Values
To Climb Still Higher

Expects Rising Market for Vacant Property

as such large number Of lots had been
attempted to be marketed at q fair
price.
The fundamental conditions in real
estate to-day are absolutely sound.
Since 1907 real estate had been abso-
lutely dead-so far as the Improvement
in values was concerned. In 1914 the
war started. From that time on there
was little, If any, building; from 1917,
when we entered the war, to 1919
practically none at all. The result was
that at the end Of the war the city was
five years underbuilt and the demand
greatly exceeded the supply, which
Is the condition to-day. In the mean
time the value of every commodity has
increased from 100 to 800 per cent, and
this included everything that is neces-
sary in the erection of building. so
that at the present time it 10 fair
statement to make that building TO-
day costs 80 per cent to 40 per cent
more than 1t would have cost five years
ago.
The natural result Of this IL that
buildings already erected, filled with
tenants at good rentals, are worth Ger
tainly from 20 to 80 per cent more
and will gradually rise in value to this
amount, if not more. Spectators rec
ognized this situation, and have been
for the last eight months, and are to-
day. purchasing all good properties
which they can obtain at the old
values. The natural result Of these
conditions should make for great in
crease in the value Of improved real
estate, which will be naturally fol-
lowed by a rising market and higher
valuations for vacant properties in
good locations.
Vacant Property Good Investment
Vacant property can be built upon
even at the higher cost Of building and
made a good Investment at the higher
cost Of building material. 1t natu-
rally follows that the land should be
worth just so much more in proper
ton. Vacant land is generally the last
thing to feel the effect Of rise in tho
prices Of commodities. It can be bought
cheaper to-day In many cases than it
could twelve years. ago. Vacant land
must rise--and will fise--fof the next
two or thrse years Ia the same proper
ton that everything else has tiAsu.
The public cannot help but fseot-
nizs these conditions, and for that rea-
son am Of enc opinion that there VII!

By ]. Clarence Davies

During the year 1918 the auction
market for real estate had been almost
entirely eliminated. The conditions
were such that no one could tell how
long the war would last or how much
more the Government would have to
borrow For that reason it was felt
by those people who had the good OF
the Government at heart and for pa
triotic motives that all the money
available should be at the disposal of
the Government. No auction sales we're
held and 1 did not think it was de-
sirable or patriotic to put any property
on auction during the year 1918.
After the armistice, when the fnan-
cial position of the country seemed
assured, when there were large
amounts Of money which had been &C.
cumulated by the public far invest
ment in savings banks and otherwise,
when practically every building was
filled with tenants and the demand for
living quarters greatly exceeded the
supply, the opportunity presented it
self to dispose Of property at auction
at somewhere near its approximate
value.
Long Selling Opportunity Comes
A great many estates, individuals,
corporations, ETC., had been waiting
Years for this opportunity. Early in
Anril and in May the sale Of the James
Gordon Bennett estate was held, with
tina public showing a good demand for
the property. And it was disposed Of
at fair prices in most cases. This was
followed later by auction sales In the
suburbs, such as Long Beach and
various other places in the outlying
districts, with fairly good results.
But the demand seemed to be great
est for improved property. During the
fall, however, number Of auction
sales we're held. In September tho
Stern estate on the Bronx and Pei
ham Parkway was offered, and every
lot was absolutely sold and , taken ii, title
vas followed BY the cfafin estate.
Van Cortlandt estate, the Crammins
estate and tho johnson estate. The
most notable and most successful Of
those sales was the Van Cortlandt e.
tate, Of which there were about $50
lots on Broadway, opposite Van Cort-
lsndt Park, between 242d and c5eth
streets. At this sale svcry lot was ABB
solutely sold at good prices, the total
being $054,000. Both the public and
the owners wero we'll satisfied with the
results.
