In tho Thompson Hill section of
Long Island City more than 600 lots
will be offered at auction by order Of
the Central Union Trust Company of
New York, as trustee, by Joseph p
Day on Saturday, November 20. The
property is adjacent to the industrial
section, Queens Boulevard, Greenpoint
Avenue, Lowery and other streets
Commenting on the value these lotssof-
fered as an inves tment, Mr.. Day said
yesterday:
These lots have great potential
value owing to their close proximity
to and easy access ibility from Manhat-
tan, the Bronx and Brooklyn.
I'm the great industrial development
Of Long Island City. Thompson Hill.
toward which the industrial plants of
the lst Ward are advancing constantly,
the more highly elevated land imme-
diately at Lowery and Bliss Street sta
tions and Queens Boulevard, seemingly
has been reserved for improvement
with hundreds of apartment houses that
must be erected in the near future to
provide housing accommodations for
the thousands Of industrial employees
in Queens, who now are compelled TO
live outside the borough because Of the
great lack of local housing accomno-
datons.
"Of equal Importance, however, is
the improvement of this section with
multi-family houses for the benefit of
those who are employed in the depart

:, started about 1927. At least the first
house erected in Washington Square.
that at the northeast corner of Fifth
Avenue and Washington Square North,
was completed in that year. The
Ninth Street houses now being pre-
pared for the accomm odation of
grown-ups and little folk were erect
ed during the '30s They we're built
by good mechanics and are as good to-
day as when completed. The walls
are stout and the floor beams are as
among the finest houses in their day
, AS was the custom then, the ceilings
on the first floor were made extremely
high, fifteen feet in some cases.
Henry Hopkins occupied the house at
East Ninth Street in 1914. The home
adjoining was that of Jacob Harsen.
Robert II. McCurdy lived in the house
at No. 8. Charles Griffen occupied
No. 10 until 1855, when Henry Kerr,
who lived on Washington Square, took
the house and lived there until 1899
Peter B. Olney, once Secretary of
the Navy, lived in the house at No IA
in 1882, and No. 1G was taken by Dr.
Attila Keherran in 1876 and occupied
by him until a few years ago.
This is the second important resi-
Dental reclamation made by the trus-
tees Of Sailors Snug Harbor in the
last four years. In 1916 they took
number of houses on Eighth Street be-
tween University Place and Greene
Street and altered them into attrac-
tive apartments. 1t was an expert
ment, but very profitable one. Sew
eral parcels on the north side Of
Eighth Street have been prepared for
residential purpose since then.
Sailors to Make Over Other Buildings
Other buildings owned by the Sailors
trust and located between Fifth Ave-
tered, as leases on them expire, into
small apartments, since that is the de-
mand in that section.
East of University Place the Sailors
property will not be taken out of the
service of trade, although all this
territory at one time was strictly
dwelling section of the finest charac-
ter But trade has been there for
many years, and though the city has
barred trade from settling west Of
University Place, the opinion is that
the pressure of commercialism will
force the lifting of the restricting bar
rler and the overturning of the lower
Fifth Avenue section or Washington
Square. 1t is now crowded on all sides
by trade.

section for many years viii result in

fifty suites in the row of made over

Babies Not Objectionable
"Why, Of course we have no objec-
tion to babies in our houses" answered
James Henry, comptroller of the
Sailors Snug Harbor, when asked if it
was really true that babies would be
allowed to live in the Ninth Street
houses. "Did you ever hear of a sailor
who was not fond of children?" he
asked. "No, sailor never regards
children as as Objectionable" he con-
tinued. "They are the citizens of to-
morrow, the men and women of the
future who will carry along this coun-
try"
Mr.. Henry indicated very decidedly
his feelings toward people who deny ad-
mission to little folk and thereby in
directly retard the development Of the
country. AS he explained that it was
traditional for sailors to be fond Of
little people, seven bells echoed from

$50O,00O Apartment House Group
10 BE Erected Soon at Kew, Gardens

A most interesting new type of
apartment house is that group at Kew
Gardens, designed by Andrew !.
Thomas, architect, on which construc-
ton will be started soon by the East
Richmond Hill Land Company. The
apartments answer every demand of
practical and economical planning, and
at the same time are unhackneyed In
appearance, livable and homelike.
They may be said to have something OF
the charm and variety Of d private
country home. They are sure to add
much to the attraction of Kew Gar
dens. which is one of New York's at
tractive dwelling house communities.
1t is expected that this new group of
homes will be a valuable feature in
supplemcnting the groups of large
single houses at Kew Gardens. They
are situated in the eastern part of the
town, about five minutes walk from the
railroad station. AT the rear of the
group are individual houses Of excep-
tlonally fine character, and most of the
neighborhood will be given over to
houses like these.

L Peak i'm House
Values Not Reached
In New JERSEY
Claim Made That Property
Is Still Cheap and Prices
Will Continue Upward
Rather Than Downward

When will the maximum price for
homes be reached? asks The League.
the official journal of the Real Estate
League Of New Jersey
This is q great economic question.
which VIC doubt very much can be
properly answered by the leading econ
omists and financiers of the day. In
our opinion there are certain types of
houses which at the present time are
underpriced inasmuch as it would cost
more to-day to produce them than the
present asking price, and surely this
applies particularly to new houses Just
completed or about to be COMPLETED.
Supply and demand regulate price in
any market, no matter .vhat the com
modify may be. The demand for houses
is far in excess of the present supply
to-day, and no doubt will be for years
to come.
alt seems that the crux Of the situ-
alton is one of finance. Assuming the
builders could get material and labor
with which to build, rom what source
or sources is the money coming? It
is only logical to believe that those in
control of mortgage funds (if they
were lending at all) would rather lend
on houses already erected, where the
cost of construction is determined,
than on new operation which is un-
certain as to the time of completion
and value upon completion.
This means that the supply Of houses
will necessarily be kept low, and prices
maintained, if not increased In other
words, suppose builders we're to pro-
ceed to build at even one-third the
normal rate. Isn't it only logical to
believe that the cost of all building
materials, including labor, would take
a jump in price due to the demand and
the cost of construction would increase
to such point that the houses now
offered would be cheap at the present
prices?
"We are willing to admit that if we
were to build enough houses to food
the market it might break prices, but
finances are not in such shape, nor
material and labor, to permit this. Since
the war the order of things has
changed, so much so that builders and
those who finance builders build
houses on a more scientific basis, and,
IN our opinion, will always keep the
supply little under the demand in
order that houses will be sold after
erected and not rented. We do not
peiieVe lor years TO come builders Will
undertake or be able economically to
build houses that can be rented as
before the war .
Our information is that the cost of
building an ordinary six-room alright
house would run from $500 to $4,000,
and possibly more. Assuming these
hgures are correct, it would be neces-
sary to obtain a rental on a basis of
Nr least 10 per cent on the cost which
would be Approximately $500 10 $500
a year, or 500 to SIS per month rental
Can you imagine the ordinary person,
heretofore paying SO to s35 per month
tor a similar house, paying such a
rent as S65 to SIS?
Brokers should urge their prospects
not to expect lower prices, but to buy
q home now. No doubt we all have had
prospects who would rather pay a high
rent than buy at what they consider
tho present high prices. Let US con-

rooms. There are practically no cor
rldors or halls, almost every square
inch of space being thrown into rooms
and closets. The bedrooms, baths, clos
cts, etc, are grouped by themselves,
thus insuring privacy.
A most interesting feature is the
laundry and drying space, hidden in the
roofs in such way that this necessity
of domestic life is concealed from view.
The rooms are ample, the bedrooms
averaging about 13 square feet. The
dining rooms are little larger and the
living rooms of the unusual size of
twenty or more feet in length, each
equipped with a fireplace and opening
off an ample foyer Plenty of closet
space is provided, including linen clos
