In the early part of this year panic
seized the tenants in many apartment
buildings in this city regarding the solu-
ton of their housing situation. The
question was whether or not they couid
renew leases falling due and. II they
could, whether or not the increases III
rent would be within their means. The
psychological moment had then arrived
which turned the attention Of the owners
of many Of these buildings toward sell
ing their properties to their tenants.
How could this be done? obviously
through the medium of joint owner
ship plan. called Incorrectly in common
parlance. cooperative ownership"
The so-called cooperative movement In
the erection and occupation Of apartment
buildings in this city started many years
ago. in cases where several people who
wanted to save rent by owning got to-
gether with apparently little knowledge
on the subject and little organization.
They shuffled along, so to speak. A
large and more ambitious project. under
the name of The Navarro Apartments,
consisting of the buildings called Madrid,
Lisbon. Cordova, Barcelona, Saragossa,
Granada, Tolosa and Valencia next ap-
peared. How this project ever could
have made headway is q mystery. 1t
was financially built on foundations
placed on quicksands and it failed. The
losses to many were heavy.
There were several buildings of this
type in existence prior to 1896 which
were fairly successful as: The Knicker-
booker. Fifth avenue and Twenty-eighth
street: the Gramercy, 80 Madison
avenue; 121 Madison avenue; the Bar
rington, East Twenty-f1fth street; the
Randolph. West Eighteenth street; the
Hubert Association, West Fifty-ninth
street: the Rembrandt, West Fifty
seventh street: the Chelsea, 222 West
Twenty-third street.
Look for These Essentials.
Let us see what are the essentials Of
a joint ownership building to be erected
for group of joint owners. The skilful
selection and purchase of the proper
site: the knowledge to select the correct
types of apartments to be created the
layout of the proposed floor plans by a
housing expert with genius and wide
experience in solving these problems the
ability to produce the building so eco
nomically that the apartments on COM
pletion may be rented at a price under
market rates, and the abandonment of
all factors of cost which do not add to
practical and commercial success.
Only in exceptional cases should the
mortgage on the premises be In excess
Of so per cent. of cost; 1t should be at
as low an interest rate and for as long
term as possible. with annual amorti-
zation of as near 3 per cent as the
earnings will permit. Under these con-
ditions the tenant owner can safely rely
on a saving equivalent to from 12 per
cent. to 10 per cent. per annum on the
investment
The constructor of such an operation
should abandon any enterprise. even
though salable. which will not conserva-
lively show satisfactory savings for the
owners. Such contractor must be con-

that was not tied up or already occupied
by the owners. This section is almost
entirely made up OF four and Ave story

within a stones throw of the most
modern building equipment. They are
largely occupied by single tenant. And

Business connected with shipping nat
urally sought the waterfront at the
lower end of Manhattan Island in the
early days of New York city. The west
erly side, however. was chosen Tor the
residences of the wealthier citizens
(many of whose names were given in
my article on the Syrian quarter in the
early part Of last year, probably be-
cause Of the prevailing westerly breezes
across the cool surface of the Hudson

the severe easterly winds of winter.
So South street, which begins at the
ferry and runs on the east of the island
as well as the south end. got the ship
