Adoo tube, which serves most Of the
New Jersey terminals.
Store space on the west side of the
avenue ranges from $1,000 to $1,500 a
front foot. On the east side shops
bring not more than 81 900 a front
foot, except when a place has special
features or dominates situation of
extra commercial merit.
MIR. Slater said that the future Of
the avenue depends in no small meas

Mr.. Slater says now. that he is very
pleased that he was disappointed be-
cause he. believes his firm has done
much more business on the east side
than it would have done on the west
side, and less expense. 49,,
Having i'll mind the old belief that
Fifth Avenue shoppers Will not favor
stores on the side that is sunny after
midday. he had determined that the
west side of the street was the place
Nor his business. More people We're to

higher on that side than on the other,

East Side of Avenue Is Best :
From below Thirty-fourth Street to
Fortytif Street the east side is bet
ter than the west, Mr.. Slater says. ! 1t
ls more advantageous particularly for
businesses which are not dependent on
masses. Most Of the department stores
and large number of specially shops
have selected the west side because the
greatest area Of Manhattan is behind

make for. crowds, Mr. Slater said. For

there are six on the west side, butihe

y Inc LuliOT OF Inc Tribune.
Sir; In January, 1920, ! purchased
&, two family house at Jamaica, L. l.,
my object being to occupy one apart
ment aud to rent the other to my elder
! daughter, her husband and their child
My younger daughter Was TO be mar
ried and She and her husband were TO
make their home with us. We were
happy in the thought that we were to
have home and were willing for the
present 20 live in cramped quarters
until the expiration Of the lease held
by the tenants of the lower. floor.
In March, 1890, when we moved into
the houseswe informed the tenant chat
she must move October |, this giyirs. her
seven months notice. This tenant. is
a widow OF means, with no dependencies
She owns five garages, which bring her
an income, and occupies permanent
position IN New York department
store. Boarding with, her are four
trained nurses, able bodied women
Ihey are not related There is no
home TO be broken up If they separate
During the months Of occupancy prior
to October l We We're very frequently
disturbed at night by hilarity in the
lower apartment. - H. t.s =.
On October /, 1920. after seven
months notice, when the tenantA had
made no attempt to move, we engaged
lawyer, and, after preliminary hear
ing, the case came up in. the Municipal
Court on November 30, 1890, before
Justice Craigan, who decided in our
favor and told the tenant to move
January 8, 1921. 49,. ~ ~ -
On January 3, 1921, the tenant was
still in possession Of the premises,
and our lawyer again brought the case
INTO court. The presiding Judge ~
this time was Judge Hazleton. [
Will not 60 into details. except to
quote Judge Hazleton's remarks. that
,the tenant might stay as long vs. she
likes" - =.
My living conditions. are therefore
very unpleasant at present. M wife.

forced into daily close contact with
nelghbors who are making us unhappy
and interfering with our constitutional
rights to "life, liberty and pursuit Of
happiness"
This is one case in which the rent
laws" have caused rank injustice.

Former Government Officer to
Study Legislation and Collect
Data for PrOperty Interests

Real estate interests are now going
10 study Federal legislation. For some
time property owners have had repre-
sentatives in attendance at state CAPT
tails, which was thought Sufficient. The
Federal levies on mortgages and on
other branches of the realty business
have awakened realtors to the urgent
necessity of strong representation at
the national capital for the purpose OF
cnlighteping the lawmakers on realty
matters and disclosing to them unfair
ness in measures under consideration
Robert B. Armstrong, who was AS
sistant Secretary of the Treasury un-
der President Roosevelt, has been
selected for this important work. Mr.
Armstrong, who is resident of Wash
ington and knSws the detail of govern
ment, will be officially head of the divi-
sion on Research and information
which was recently established by the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards to gather and digest all bills
relating to real estate which may be
presented to the Congress, of the
United States, state legislatures, or
city councils, and also to assemble all
available data on the subjects of taxa.
