ZONING PLAN GROWS
STEADILY STRONGER
Now Five Years Old and in
Last 2 Years Its Strengthen
ing Has Exceeded Relaxation.
BY EDWARD M. BAssETT,
Counsel to the Zoning Commission.

The Greater New York building zone
law has now been in operation over
five years. The protective requirements
are shown on three maps, known as
height. area and use. The charter pro-
vides that changes in the maps can be
made only by the Board of Estimate.
The aggregate changes are extremely
small in area, showing the remarkable
permanence Of the protection Of the
zoning system
In the years 1s16-1921, inclusive, 15S
applications for changes were granted
by the Board Of Estimate and 134 were
denied. These figures tend to show that
changes are not easily obtained. This
|hs as it should be, because when an
owner builds according to the zoning
requirements he ought to be protected
against easy changes Of surrounding
requirements.
Of the total changes there were four
in 1916. forty-three in 1917, twenty-six
In 1913. twenty In 1919, twenty-seven
in 1920 and thirty-eight In 1921. 1t
woyld appear from the figures that
changes were fairly proportioned to the
Use map changes were 143. area map
eleven. and height map four. 1t is
quite possible that as the amount OF
new construction increases. more
changes proportionally will be made in
the area and height maps.
In 1915 the four changes all relaxed
the restrictions, in 1917 thirty-six re-
laxed and seven strengthened the re-
strictions. in 1918 twenty relaxed and
six strengthened, in 1919 thirteen re-
laxed and seven strengthened. In 1920
twelve relaxed and fifteen strengthened.
in 1921 fifteen relaxed and twenty-threo
strengthened. In other words, in 1916
there was no strengthening. in 1917
the strengthening as compared to re-
Taxation rose to 10 per cent, In 1913
to 80 per cent. in 1919 to 54 per cent,
In 1920 to 1875 per cent. and in 1921 to
153 per cent. 1t will be seen that dur
ing the last two years the strengthen
ing changes exceeded the relaxing
changes, and that each year the proper
ton OF strengthening changes increased.
These figures show not only official sup
port of the coming plan. but they show
clearly that property owners are gradu-
ally favoring the strengthening OF the
zoning requirements rather than their
relaxation.
The building zone system OF New
York may be deemed a success. Other
cities. which have recently adopted II
Or are preparing their maps, may well
be encouraged by the experience Of

NORTH SHORE IS
FAST BUILDING UP
Habitations Replacing Vacant
Land From Great Neck to
Port Washington.
BY FRANK cRowELL,
Of Baker, CrowcH, INC.


In the last twelve months the North
Shore of Long Island has experienced a
steady growth--no booms In certain
sections, no marked rise In value, Just
steady building UP of the district along
sane lines as In previous years. Its
growth Is most marked along the route
of the present railroe\ facilities. the
trolley lines and the proposed dual sub
way system.
Along the Pennsylvania Railroad be-
tween Great Neck and Port Washington
the large areas OF vacant land which
were In evidence up to few years ago
are no longer in existence. Square
blocks built up with detached houses
and quite thickly populated. have re-
placed them. and 1t Is only when one
gets to Great Neck that the real subur-
ban district is apparent.
The North Shore as It came from the
hands of nature was a beautiful coun-
try. but 1t was enriched and mado even
more habitable by the hands OF man.
Along the entire coast line. broken py
numerous bays and harbors-the delight
of yachtsmen--wooded promontcries
stretch out into the deep blue waters OF
Long Island Sound. Inland Is found
rolling parls-lilSe country extending from
the vicinity of the aristocratic town OF
Flushing toward Wheatiey Hills.
Southerly this upland country termi-
mates about midway OF the island IN a
natural terrace. Here land abruptly
falls off one hundred feet or more 90 the
fiat and monotonous level or the south
shore. This particular geographical
formation is most interesting. Appar,
emily the south shore OF Long Island
was formerly included in the bed or
the Atlantic Ocean,
The North Shore, on the contrary u
well watered. heavily timbered ana ex-
ceptionally fertile upland. and the prin-
cipal motive in the building up or TINS
territory has been the desire for greater
freedom. more healthy surrounding Tor
the bringing up OF children, love OF OUT
coor exercise, boating. golfing. driving.
and the like.
One of the oldest and most interest
ing communities on the north shore Is
Tho village Of Great Neck. In the centsr
of the Great Neck peninsula. which pro-
Il cts into Long Island Sound for a dis
tnnce of four miles. To the east lies
Manhasset Bay and to the west Little
Neck Bay, the distance across tho pc
ninsula being about two miles. The
land Is rolling, with a moderate eleva-
tfon. and is well wooded with stately old
trees, many OF them more than a cen
tury old.
This beautiful section, surrounded by
many of the finest estates on Long ISL
and, is but sixteen miles from Manhat.

OLD SHIP iowa
SOON TO MAKE
LASTLONG Dive
Plans Formed by Navy Department
to Dismantle Fighting Vessel
Which VIII be Sunk.

Philadelphia, April 19.-Prepar-
ations are going forward at the
Philadelphia navy yard toward
placing the old battleship Iowa in
condition for the day shortly when
she will be sent to Davy Jones
locker some place off Cape Henry.
Besides having the reputation of
an old fighter, the Iowa may be
better known as the radio con-
trolled vessel, or the ship without
a crew. The radio-controlling ap-
paratus is being removed from the
Ohio, the Iowa's mother ship, and
being placed aboard the destroyer
DiCkerson.
Escorted by the Dickerson, some
time the latter part of this month
the Iowa under her own steam,
will take her place in view of the
whole Atlantic fleet, it was stated,
and then sunk. The idea of dis
martling a vessel that has held it's
own at sea is to navy men just as
gruesome as an execution. Sinking
a ship in its own element with big
shells is another matter and when
the Iowa takes her last long dive
into the deep there will be no
mourners.
Use Big Guns.
1t has not. been determined ex-
actly how the old man of war is
going to be sunk, but it probably
will be done with big guns from the
dreadnoughts of the fleet.
Tests of the armor-piercing quail
tiles of new proiectiIes and new
guns are to be made in addition to
the tests of the radio control The
old vessel is slow and to a certain
extent unwieldy.
For two years the Ohio has been
the control ship of the Iowa but
with the little Dickerson usurping
her place, the Ohio will be stripped
of all removable parts and prob
ably placed on sale with others of
the fighting ships that were.

CITIZENS ASKING
CHANGE Of NAME
IrVington Petitions Want Ellen
berger Name for
Park.

The board of park commissioners
today refused to be shaken in it's de-
termination to erase from public
records the name of John Ellenberger,
after whom Ellenberger park was
named for many years.
A delegation of Irvington women,
led by Mrs. Grace Julian Clarke
presented a petition signed by 500
people, asking the park name be
changed back Ellenberger from
Jameson, which the board rechris-
tened 1t several weeks ago.
Bookwalter reiterated the state
mont he has made several times that
Ellenberger tried to get as much
money as he could from the city for
the land in the park and said he
wanted money not monuments" and
therefore was not entitled to be
honored. On the other hand, Book
walter argued, DIR. Henry Jameson,
asfter whom the park now is named,
served the city, long and unselhshly
as member Of the park board.
