mander Of the General Real Estate
Division In the mobilization of New
York business men in the Budget
Guard being organized by the National
Budget Committee, 7 West Eighth
Street, under direction Of Sam A. Lew
isohn, banker, to support the movement
for national economy and lower taxes.
Plans for the organization Of 152
New York trades and industries were
outlined at the first meetisg Of the
Budget Guard at the Downtown Asso-
citation last Wednesday, when John
7. Pratt, national chairman, and Sam A.
Lewisohn, New York City, chairman Of
the National Budget Committee, con-
ferred with twenty-one division heads.
Mobilization Of the Budget Guard
among New York's trades and indus
tries is part Of the National Budget
Committees nationwide movement to
create popular support for the efforts
Of General Charles @. Dawes to put the
administration of Federal expendi-
lures on business basis under the re-
Gently adopred Dudgec system.
Among the members of the budget
committee, Of which John T. Pratt is
chairman, are: Chief Justice William

In assuming leadership Of the real
estate division, Mr.. Gilman said:
Like every other business in the
country, realtors and their clients feel
the heavy burden Of taxation, and /
believe the movement for economy and
business administration of government
expenditures as inaugurated by Gen.
eral Dawes, is as important as any
single civic enterprise in the country
to-day. Every business man in the city
owes it to himself and his business. Il
not from standpoint of civic duty, to
help support the economy plan to the
utmost of his ability. It Is my belief
that the real estate business will dem
onstrats its stand on this important
civic matter, as it has in every other
crisis, by giving it's full cooperation.

Construction undertaken in the five
boroughs Of New York in the last ten
months represents an investment Of
$310,695, 700. according to the F. ".
Dodge Company. This is practicalv
equal to the total amount of construc-
tion contracts let in the entire year 192a.
The total for October was s48,332, ,2o9..
Although this was somewhat less than
the September figure, which established
a record, it is the second largest
monthly total this year. Beginning
with So. 100000 in January, the con-
struction figures steadily increased
until S60,000,000 was reached in Sep
tember. Although the October figures
represented seasonal decline, the vol-
ume of work being started now, to-
gether with work already under way.
assures an unusual amount of ACTIVITY
to be carried through the winter
months.
Residential work of all kinds has
been the dominant factor this year,
amounting to $195,933, 400, or 6S per
cert of the total. During the entire
year 1920, residential work in New Yor :
ClCy amounted to $91 ,65O,200 which
was only 26 per cent of the years total.
Residential contracts in the first ten
months of 1921 have called for the con
s+~uction of 41.638.s00 square feet Of
floor space, compared with 15,142,ooo

known next Wednesday. when .hs
Transit Commission will open the b;s.
received for extending the Queensboro
tube west from Grand Central. ;,s

1t is estimated that the cost of sh;s
extension will exceed s4,000,000 and
will take two years to build. Il will
eliminate the present necessity for ali
passengers transferring at Grand Cen.
trail STATION, except those VINO wiso n
go north or south on the East SiSa
line. It is also expected to relieve Tho
congestion on the shuttle trains he.
tween Grand Central Station and Times
Square.
Extension to Eighth Avenue
The plans call for a two-t track sn,.-
way, beginning near Vanderbilt Avenna
at level below the shuttle tracks. er-
| tending westerly through Fortv-second
Street TO a point east of Sixth Avenue
There the line will bend south, passir,
underneath Bryant Park into Sirt9

Eighth Avenue.
New stations on the lins will be 10.
Gated at ruth Avenue and Forty-second
! Street and beneath the Times Square
Station Of the Interborough- Broadway-
! Seventh Avenue line.
One reason given by the Transit
Commissi for constructing the iis,e
as far as Eighth Avenue, was that even
tually it will connect with new sub D
way through the latter thoroughfare.
which it is believed will be the first 10
! be built when new work begins.
TRAFFIC counts made by the Transit
Commission inspectors indicate thar
| 100000 passengers use the shuttle
daily and that % per cent of these
transfer to and from the greensboro
subway.
AS originally laid on. in the dual
subway contracts adopted March, 1913.
! this extension was to have been buit
under Forty-second Street to a poins
just east Of Broadway. This, however.
walk a considerable distance to make
connections north and south on the
Broadway-Seventh Avenue line.

tension station at q lover level than
either Of the present stations in Times
| Square. These stations will intersect
each other in the middle.
In order to travel between the stress
and the Greensboro subway passengers
will move along an upper mezzanine
which will be provided west of Seventh
Avenue and another mezzanine east Of
this avenue. which will extend to
Broadway. These mezzanines are to be-
connected by passageways. Escalators
are provided in the plans from the
lower mezzanine to each of the upper
mezzanines, and provision is made for
an additional escalator east of Seventh
Avenue should the traffic require it
! in the future.
There WILL be five stairways leading

corner Of Seventh Avenue and Forty
first Street and four on the west side
Of Broadway, two at each corner.
