Tangible Evidence
Building Boom
in New York City

New York. March 2o-The first
pronounced boom in home building
here since the war was shown today
in a compilation Of building statis-
tics for the past two weeks. Plans
for new buildings filed during this
period were 81 per cent. greater than
those filed during the corresponding
period last year.
This impetus was attributed by
Henry H. Curran, president of the
borough of Manhattan, to the tax ex-
emption ordinance recently approved
by the board of aldermen. This
measure provides for maximum tax
exemption for ten years of $4,000 an
nually on all dwellings, the construc-
ton of which is begun before April
/, 1922. ~
The first two weeks the ordinance
has been in effect have produced
plans for homes for 1916 families, as
compared with 666 in 1920. Out OF
the 1915 families who will live in
these new homes, 70S of them will
be housed in one and two family
houses and the remaining 1858 in
tenement houses. Most of the small
er homes will cost in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000.
