New York Seems Bent ON
Overcoming Shortage
Over Half the Millions Appro.
priated for Building To Be
Used in Providing HO1Is;uos

The home shortage in this part of
the country is rapidly being overcome.
predictions made last year by some Of
the best posted men in the construc-
ton and real estate field, that it would
take at least five years of steady con-
struction to meet the housing require
ments Of this particular section seem
radical, in the light Of statistics COM
piled by F. W. Dodge Company.
Rlvulets of information from cities,
towns, villages and hamlets indicate
that the entire country seems to be
engaged in building homes.
In the twenty-seven states consti-
tuting the northeastern section of the
country $S9,650,OOO worth of homes
were started during October. This fip-
ure represents 40 per cent of the entire
amount appropriated for building pur-
poses IN these states for that month.
Nearly half of the many millions of
dollars provided for homes will be
spent in New York State and Northern
New Jersey, according to the Dodge
Company statistics. These show SAL
265,O00 for residential buildings, S14,-
733,000 for business structures, 1884,
GOO for public enterprises and utilities
and $4,214,000 for industrial projects.
The total estimated cost of buildings
to be erected in New York and North
ern New Jersey, according to plans
filed in October, is $75,225, 900. OF this
Total b5 per cent is for homes.

Sale of Parkway Driving Club Property in. Kings
Highway Marks Passing of Last Of Local Turf
Centers; All but One Taken for Home Sites

The passing of the Parkway Driving
Club property last week into the hands
of home builders marks the end OF
racing in New York City. 1t is the
last of the race courses established in
Brooklyn years ago to pass out. A
few weeks ago the Gravesend track,
famous in its day, wss taken over by
land developers, and before the end of
next spring will be parceled off and
sold to home builders. Brighton Beach
and Sheepshead Bay tracks were OBJ
liberated several years ago.
The Parkway Driving Club track was
the last of the string Of famous racing
fields in the greater city to go. AS a
result New York to-day is free of rae
ing, SO far as the actually running of
turf contests is concerned.
The Parkway track is to be developed
with 200 homes, Gravesend with about
1000 homes and on the Brighton Beach
course is bungalow colony.
The Garden Land Company is the
owner of the Parkway property and
will build six and seven room houses
there that will sell at prices within the
reach of many families in the Kings
Highway section. The property is to
be cut up into 400 lots under plans
worked out for the utilization of the
realty.
Wood Harmon & Co. have taken the
Gravesend track, at least they have the
property under contract and will close
for it soon. To them the fact that it
was one of great turf centers of the
~,<r rv,,x cv,f Az all
legalities have been complied with the
old course will be subdivided under a
plan which the developers have worked
out especially for this property. 1t is
70 be made g. restricted colony of
homes.
Sheepshead Bay has been the scene
OF many aviation contests. 1t will
eventually pass to home builders. This
has been rumored several times in the
last year.
The Parkway track project will make
Kings Highway district one of the
most active home building sections in
Brooklyn
A few years ago the Garden Land
Company purchased the Ridley estate
property, diagonally opposite the prop
crty purchased last week from the
Driving Club, which has since been de-
veloped with many homes by the COM
pany and by other builders. The late Ed
ward Ridley kept big department store
in Grand Street years ago, when this East
Side street was one of the great shop
ping centers of Manhattan His old
homestead remains on Kings Highway,
and is landmark in this section of
Brooklyn.
The business section of Kings High
way, until few years ago extended
from the Kings Highway station of
the Brighton Beach line west to East
Thirteenth Street, distance of about
three blocks. Now it has extended
east to Ocean Avenue and west beyond
Coney Island Avenue. Hundreds of
new homes have been erected recently
in the side streets on both sides of
the highway to the south and north,
and few are unoccupied.

By r. C. Boyer
If the National Bridge Works

of The National Bridge Works
| When America was discovered it
was found that certain Indian tribes
roamed our soil, who used wigwams for
their homes, which were constructed Of
skins and hides. The material of which
these wigwans were made was obtained
from one Of the natural resources
which existed at that time. This form
Of home was adopted. as it was portable
and could be moved from place to place
Other tribes Of Indians, who were not
Of the roaming type, constructed their
homes of something more permanent,
and again fell back on the natural re-
sources by building in and among cliffs.
When the Pilgrims first started to
settle in America they came with the
determination Of staying, and having
left substantial homes in Europe, nat
urally their first thought in building
new horaes in this country was to con-
struct them of some permanent type;
and they also resortcd to the natural
resources which they found very plenti-
full, which was the vast amount of tim
Der right at hand. The utilization Of
natural resources continues even to-
day and can be readily witnessed when
we travel through a cement quarry.
| You will find entire communities con-
structed with the product obtainable
from this quarry; then again we travel
through slate, stone or marble quarry
and find these products used in what
might appear a very liberal and very
uneconomical manner.
Pilgrims First Tapped Timber Lands
When the Pilgrims started to build
| homes in this country they tapped the
great supply of timber for construc-
/ ton, which then required but little
| transportation to get it TO the building
site. We seldom stop to realize the
vast amount of timber lands which
existed in this and other states 500
| years ago. This timber is rapidly be-
/! ing cleared to make way for cities,
villages, farms, etc. As these timber
fields are being depleted they are not
! being replanted, and it is claimed that
| it requires approximately 300 years to
| grow a saw log. It is quite evident
| that some type of material must take
the place Of wood in construction work.
The timber to-day going into a build
ing in some cases has Travelled thou
sands of miles before reaching it's
forced US to take advantage Of our
natural resources, which at this time is
iron ore. With ore we can manufac-
ture various steel commodities which
can be used in the permanent construc-
tion Of buildings.
Small Homes of Steel
Structural steel has been used for
quite some years in our large sky
scrapers and various other buildings,
but these heavy structural members
cannot be used economically in our
smaller types of buildings. This

Lumber Prices
Pointed Toward
Higher Levels
Many Grades Already Have
Advanced, Result of Con.
struction Under Way in
Many Sections of Country

Ihe last thirty days have shown a
gradual advance in Wholesale lumber
prices in the Eastern territory, par
ticularly in yellow pine, North Carolina
pine and Douglas fir dressed stock, and
it is virtually an assured fact that the
market has reached sound, healthy
basis, according to A. r. Kriechbaum,
president Of Lumber"
The rise in the market has by no
means been radical, but has been the
natural result of resumption of buy
ing after an exceedingly long period of
inactivity" Mr.. Kriechbaum says.
Records Of the trend Of the market
in the East show that an advance of
from 81 to So thousand feet has
taken place in the entire yellow pine
list, and, except in heavy fir timbers
and dimension STOCK, which have re-
mained stationary, the same is true of
the Douglas fir list. Popular items
among the yard trade, such as fat
grain yellow pine flooring, North Caro-
lima pine flooring and roofers, have
strengthened considerably since the
first week in October. The strong &C.
mand for flooring also has forced red
and white oak flooring up $40 during
the thirty-day period. Maple flooring
has not shown an advance, but it is
strengthening. Cypress finish has in
creased Sc in price, and red cedar shin
Giles average about SO cents higher than
they were the first week in October.
Building Under Way in Many Parts
"Stabilization Of the market on
building lumber has been brought
about by the continued building ac-
tivity which has been general through
out the East for the last three or four
months, and as long, as fair weather
continue. The building wave is stiff
sweeping the South, Southwest and
Pacific Coast regions, and much of the
lumber produced in those sections is
being consumed at home.
"A decided improvement in the hard
wood situation also is noted, this being
the result of the resumption of ac-
tivity by the larger wood consuming
industrials such as furniture factories,
car building plants and musical instru-
ment and cabinet works. The better
grades of almost all varieties OF hard
woods have advanced from $5 to $40
since early in October, and in some
woods the increase has extended to the
No. common and lower grades. Prices
have remained stationary on all white
pines and spruces and California red
wood and the demand for these woods
is holding up well, particularly for
redwood.
"The lumber market to-day seems to
have struck an even keel and very
little change is looked for one way or
the other until after the first Of the
year. In early spring, however, there
is scarcely any room for doubt that
lumber prices, as a whole, will be on
a higher level than they are to-dav.''

Only City Where Rents
44re again Normal

GHELBOURNE, in tho Province Of
Quebec, has earned place for
itself in the news of the world. All
Canada is talking about the little
city. 1t is perhaps the only place
that has publicly announced that
rents are again normal and that
there is no shortage of homes there.
Shclbourne's enviable situation is
due to the operations Of housing
commission. Like other places, it
had less homes than it needed when
the war ended. Commissioners were
appointed to take the housing situa-
ton in hand The result was that
Shelbourne was soon over its trou-
bic. The commission announced last
week that it had seventy houses it
could furnish to homeseekers at =
moments notice.
