Office Buildings
Placed ON Coal
Preferred List
Washington, Realizing Harm
TO Business Because of
Cold Offices, Orders Fuel
for These Structures

Recognizing that office buildings and
their operation are essential TO the
welfare of business in America, the
Department of Commerce. in an amend
ment to the priority coal orders, has
placed coal for heating of buildings in
the preferred classification. The amend
ment to Service Order No. % Of the
Department of Commerce is the result
of a campaign conducted by the Ma
tional Association of Building Owners
and Managers TO secure adequate coal
supplies.
Earle Shultz, manager Of the Common
wealth Edison Building, and president
of the National Association OF Build
ing Owners and Managers, in letters to
Secretary Hoover of the Department
of Commerce pointed out the dangers
TO American business if office build
ings were not given q preferred CLASH
fication.
In order to supplement the effect Of
this new service order amendment Mr..
Shultz has been advised by the Depart
ment of Commerce to get in direct
communication with the State Fuel
administrators so that the priority Of
our householders and office buildings
will be given general recognition
throughout the United States.
The following is a part of Amend
ment No. to service Order No. %,
specifying the various preferred classi-
fications, which is the result of the
pressure brotAht on the Federal au-
thorities.
For fuel for railroads and other
common carriers, and for bunkering
ships and vessels; for public utilities
which directly serve the general public
under franchise therefor, with street
and interurban railways, electric power
and light, gas, water and sewer works.
ice plants which directly serve The pub
lie generally with ice, or supply refrg-
Grafton for human foodstuffs: hos
pitals; for the manufacture and produc-
tion of foodstuffs; and medicines and
for the manufacture of containers
therefor; for the United States, state,
county or municipal governments, and
for their hospitals, schools and other
public institutions-al to the end that
the foregoing may be kept supplied
with coal for current use for such rur-
poses, but not for storage, exchange or
sales; for bituminous coal consigned to
pool OR pools of lake cargo or bunker
age coal at any port upon Lake Erie
for transshipment by water to ports
above Lake Erie; bituminous or anthra-
cite coal, or coke for household use and
for the heating of buildings. 1t is not
intended by this paragraph to give any
priority as between the classes of per
sons and uses mentioned herein"

BrooklynApartnnent
Rent Will Hold
Fast at $40 a Room
Modern Suites Cannot Be
aid for Less Money I'M
TIL Cost of Construction
Comes Down, Says Broker
By Arthur J. Horton

Vice-President Bulkley & Horton Co.
An unusual feature of the present
apartment rental situation is the num-
Der of persons coming to Brooklyn
from other boroughs looking for lower
priced apartments. Most OF them want
apartments renting for about S15 a
room and are disappointed when told
that it is practically impossible to find
any apartments at the present time
renting at such figure. Twenty dol
lars a room is the price of the usual
modern type Brooklyn apartment to-
day, and practically all buildings rent
ing at this rate are now filled. The de-
mand is about equal to or possibly
slightly under the supply of new build
ings at this rate. Inability to obtain
Brooklyn partment homes at less than
the $40 rate is causing many people to
live in unsatisfactory quarters until
such apartments are available.
$40 Room Has Been Introduced
Several ultra-modern apartments
have been built in Brooklyn during
the last few months. Suites in these
apartments rent for about $40 q room.
This style of apartment building is
more or less a new undertaking in
Brooklyn. Apartments in them are
AeHtlHS rapluly. MoSt OF the rentals
are made to families who have given
up large houses because of the diff
Guilty Of obtaining efficient help; the
threatening coal situation and for
other similar reasons.
From the present outlook, 1t seems
that rentals in Brooklyn will hold to
$50 or slightly more per room for q
considerable time. Production costs
in Brooklyn will have to be largely re-
duced before new apartments can be
had for lower rents. The present atti-
tude of labor does not give much hope
that substantial production is in sight
The possibility of the supply of apart
ments being greater than the demand,
thus forcing lower rents by competi-
tion, is very remote, because when
builders find that they cannot rent
apartments at rentals consistent to
cost of construction, they Immediately
stop building them. Present rents are
not excessive compared to present cost
of construction. If building costs
come down rents will come down, and
not before. Nobody can tell when this
will be; some say they will never come
down. Surely, it seems far off at pres

clease. | have been associated with the
land selling business for years, but in
my time | have not seen a stronger or
more general land buying movement
than the one now in progress. l re-
gard this as u sign of national advance
ment because most of these purchases
home building projects precede, which
will add to the wealth and stability of
the nation.
New York, Of course, is the leader in
the great land buying and home build
ing movement of to-day, and this lead
is a direct result of the adoption and
good effect of the tax exemption law, as
also the recognition by estate owners
of the advisability, at this time, of
doing all in their power to relieve the
housing shortage. They have done
their part fully by throwing their land
on the market to be sold for whatever
it may bring" and on far easier terms
than lot buyers find it possible to se-
cure sites at private treaty.
Confidence Shown in Auctions
The public has bought freely because
Of its confidence in the fact that, in
the public salesroom and under the
tent, they buy at their own price.
These have been the principal factors
back of the big building movement of
the last year, and the wave Of home
building which has swept over the city
has fully justified the confidence of
the people in the present and future
scarcity and value Of we'll located
New York City lots.
The Throg's Neck section of the
East Bronx has been one of the shin
ing examples of the widespread in
fuence of successful auction sales.
Until two years ago Throg's Neck held
about a dozen mansions erected CEN
tury ago. To-day one thousand small
homes, every one on lot purchased by
the owner at public auction, stand on
what were the Coster, Bruce Brown
Turnbull, Brinsmade, Wissmann, Eb-
ling and Morris estates.
This building of city within a city
will be further accelerated by the sale
next month of 1900 lots belonging to
the Lorillard Spencer estate, located
between the Eastern Boulevard and
Long Island Sound, Pelham Bay Park
and the Westchester County Club.
The Importance of this big sale will
be better appreciated, perhaps, when
it is understood that with the single

exception of the smaller Huntington
estate, the Spencer property is the last
large lot holding in private ownership
along Lastchester Bay. After the
Spencer estate comes the 1,756 acres
of Pelham Bay Park, with approx
mately twenty miles of water frontage
3 In the West Bronx lots are selling
rapidly and at good prices. Last week
$4,000 was paid for 205 lots, known
as the Montgomery estate, extending
from University Avenue to the Harlem
River, 175th to 10th Street.
Hunts Point, another of the bright
spots on the auction horizon of last
year, has been productive of several
large sales that augur we'll for the
future development of the newer East
River and Bronx River sections Of
this remarkable, fast growing and
highly speculative, congested section
OF New York, where the principal need
is for more breathing space, more
apartments, more stores, more theaters,
etc.
Long Beach Land in Demand
Outside of the city limits the most
remarkable successes in suburban lot
selling were achieved at Long Beach,
where since 1921 more than 1000
houses, business and amusement build
ings. hotels, ETC., have been erected.
The demand is yet far from satisfied;
in fact, the surface has scarcely been
scratched at Long Beach, which with
the lifting of certain Of the building
restrictions changed from mere sea-
shore resort to q four season place of
suburban residence.
The city sales brought miscellane-
Gus lot of "frozen" real estate into
the market and reduced the rate on
mortgage loans to per cent. All in
all, the auction market of the last
year has been rich in good results.
The various lot sales have helped to
appease the land hunger and to en-
courage the building of tax-exempt
homes, all Of which has tended to en-
courage thrift and to make thousands
of families happy
On the other hand, the owners of
these large estate holdings have re-
gained control 4of their money, which
has become available for reinvestment
in other directions.
Home ownership is almost guar
antys of good citizenship, and the auc-
tion room may be said, therefore, to
have played its part not only in max
ing happier our own native population
but ALSO those of foreign birth, the
Americanization Of whom is the chief
desideratum.
