scattered operations Of one and two
houses will bring the number of new
homes awaiting occupants in the Muir
ray Hill district up to dozen.
Room for Parties
The houses erected by the Rickert-
Brown Company are Colonial in design,
three stories high, on sizable plot.
The rooms are large, bed rooms as well
as living rooms, which have been laid
out with the view of entertaining. The
large living room with the adjoining
spacious porch, which might be added
to the dancing space in the living room,
should appeal to the family which has
some young folks. Then the dining
rooms are measured, so to speak, to
the possible capacity of the living
room
Just beyond Murray Hill Is Broad
wayon-th the Hill, where lawyer named
Flatto is erecting eight houses on
Thirty fourth Street and A. M. Ryon, a
coal merchant Of Flushing, is building
eight houses on Thirty-fifth Street.
There are other houses going up in
the same section which will make at
tractive homes for rent payers.
The same bus line which brought
you to Murray Hill and to Broadway
ton and beyond to Bayside.
Smaller Homes at Douglaston
At Douglaston the Rickert- Brown
Company Is building homes smaller
than those erected in Murray Hill.
Naturally, they are cheaper, being
smaller in size and on land which is
not as expensive as that at Murray
Hill. Early last week there were ten
OF these houses to select from, but only
nine were for sale on Wednesday, They
are offered at $4,000 to $15 900, and
1T is needless to say the builders will
not shade their prices. They have
seven rooms and bath and may be pur-
chased on the partial payment basis
over an original cash payment of at
least 25 per cent.
Income of $6,500 at Least Needed
Figuring that you have paid $4,000
on $4,000 house, the charge the first
year would be about 5000 month. The
greatest expense would be in paying
OFT the second mortgage which would
have to be accomplished in three years.
Inc family man whose income is not
at least $500 year should not buv a
house of this cost and on such term @ q
bcause the load would be too mnch
and in time the pleasure of home own
ershlp would disappear. The builder
from whom you buy will not want YOU
TO enter on a contract which in time
Will be hardship for you to live un
to. 1t, too, is hurtful to suburha y
home development. 0 ~ '''' -
Ihis little suggestion may spoil.your
dream, but it is better that YOU match
home buying plans with your income
now than after you have gone through
unnecessary mental torture and have
had financial losses.
Ten New Houses in Malba in Nav
In Malba will be found dwellings, all
of the more costly type; that is. struc-
lures which will sell for s17.5OO to
$4,000. Ten Of them will be completed
during the next two months; that is
the hope of the builders, at least.
There are twenty-five houses in various
stages OF construction or planning at
Malba. The developers are of the opin-
ion that midsummer will see ali their
home construction now in hand com
pleted and ready for folks to take nos
session.
Malba is regarded by some as part of
Flushing. There is no physical divi-
sion between the two places, unless it
is the railroad that runs to Whitestone,
On this branch Malba is two stations
out from Bride Street, Flushing, and
thlrty-eight minutes from the Seventh
Avenue station,
Although there is no physical bar
rier that marks the end of one and
the start of the other, the division is
felt and in time becomes evident, be-
cause Malba is an estate of estates
privately owned and regulated by re-
stric tions and conditions for the bene-
fit of all who live there.
Malba was the private estate Of Will
lam ziegler, of baking powder fame
