TOSTUDY STATEOF
EUROPEAN HOUSING
L. A. MacDougall Will Visit
Principal Centers During
Trip Begun Yesterday.

r. A. MAcDOUGALL, president OF
the Greensboro Corporation
which created at Jackson Heights
garden apartment residential section.
sailed yesterday on the Majestic for Eu-
rope. The object of his trip Is to visit the
principal housing centers. Another pur-
pose of the trip is to give him an oppor-
tunity 70 confer with European housing
commissions. representatives Of which In
spected Jackson Heights during the last
year.
On the eve OF his departure for Eu-
rope Mr.. MacDougall said: due TO
ever increasing congestion OF popula-
ton and traffic New York has been un-
dergoing many radical changes. New
business centers have been developed,
and, as natural consequence there has
followed marked and clearly defined
shifting Of population. The building
records OF the e'ty since the war clearly
indicate the forces that are bringing
about these changes with their attend
ant. significant results
The erection of hotels. shops. loft and
office buildings during the last ten
years in the district between Twenty
third and Fffty-ninth streets represents
the greatest Improvement known to real
estate history. This development of an
active business section in the midtown
area has in turn set in motion forces
which have produced q movement Of the
residential population to the outlying
districts Of New York. This movement
as a. matter Of course has followed
along the lines Of transit constructed
during the last ten years.
"As the hIlsiness sectiov, bo. laval
oped traffic congestion, both transit and
vehicular. has constantly increased :
this has further driven home to those
residing In this area the necessity of
seeking elsewhere for living quarters.
The abnormal increase of rent for
housing accommodations has been an
other important factor In stimulating
this exodus from Manhattan. Swollen
rents finally resulted in the enactment
OF the so-called Rent Laws, which in
turn slowed down Manhattan construc-
tion and confined 1t largely to housing
on low priced land.
1T Is significant to note that the
largest increase in housing In the last
three years has been in Brooklyn and
Queens. showing that it is to these bor-
oughs that this shifting population is
turning for homes. The chief reason
for this, choice is the accessibility Of
home centers in these boroughs to mid
town and down town Manhattan, and
because OF the lower costs there found.
I'm the district directly east of the
central part of Manhattan there has
been developed the restricted commun-
ity Of Garden Apartment Homes known
as Jackson Heights Here. where more
than S14,000.000 has been invested in
the construction OF garden apartments.
Approximately 1000 families have pur-
chased apartments under the Jackson
Heights plan OF tenant ownership
These purchasers have become their
own landlords, enjoying their apart
ments at the actual cost OF maintenance
instead of bulging the pockets of spec
ulators."

United States, according to the latest

The report which revealed this fact
