sursnce Company OF large number
OF apartment houses ~ which rentals
will be established at 50 per room a
wonth Fear has beer expressed also
BY prospective home builders tina, this
sctivity might in some way Interfere
with the general construction program.
In order 10 present the exact facts
regarding tn immense building pro-
ee' TO tell reasons why the Metropoli-
tan Life insurance Comnany proposes
TO enter tho building field, and opinions
as to general conditions in the home
building field, a special ;nteryiew was
nrra nged with Walter Stablcr. comp
roller Of tho Metropolitan Lfe Insur-
pnce Company. Mr. Stablcr is desir-
Gus that the home building and renting
ltbilc shall understand exactly what
The Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany is dong to relieve housing condi-
IT,,
We may, thcrrfore. quote briefly
statement oe facts and opinions as pro-
vided by Mr.. Stabler in this interview.
I'm view Of the fact that this com
psny has millions of policyho'ders in
the congested residential areas OF the
United States, 1t is quite eyideis. that
very large percentage Of the millions
OF families having this contract with
n orG 1f col, %aj
high rentals and other unpleasant con
ditions arising out of the general hous-
ing shortage We have felt that it is
one Of the important duties of our COM
pany to contribute as largely a 5 posi-
bic to the relief of these conditions
We have, therefore. made available
large sums of money to be loaned in
the New York area and through our
agents In other cities for the purpose
OF financing various forms of residen-
tlal construction. particularly those
repre- senting medium cost apartment
buildings snd dwellings. In the New
York area alone over 700 dwellings,
have been financed by this company
m groups and for individual home
builders. A large fund has also been
directed for the financing of apartment
buildings.
Homes for l,6O0 Families
Some time ago it was suggested
that with the permission Of the New
York State Legislature the Metropoli-
tan Life Insurance Company might
enter into plan to provide large
number OF low rental apartment houses
70 meet definite need on the part of
families with low incomes who were
not being benefited by the large volume
OF speculative building under way.
after careful consideration it was de
termined that while the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company is not inter
ested in direct real estate investment
this plan might prove Of value to the
people, provided it would be possible
to develop apa rtment buildings in
winch rentals would average 50 per
room per month.
"Permission for this project having
been granted through state legislation,
the exact situation is as follows:
plans for fifty new buildings. to
house thirty-two families each, are nov.

Queens to Show
What 1t Is Doing
For HOmeseekers
of Dwellings and
Apartments Now Under
Construction in Borough
TO Be Part of Exhibition

Queens business men and builders
are planning to show the big movement
toward providing housing in that bor-
ough that is now in progress in a
most convincing way at what is to be
known as the Queens Exposition, which
is to be held at the Astoria Casino.
Broadway and Steinway Avenue, As
toria, during the week commencing
May %. One Of the features of this
exposition will be realty and housing
show, in which practically all of the
big builders in the borough will par
ticipate. Joining with them viii be the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company,
which has reserved space in which will
be shown for the first time the model
Of the apartment houses which will be
erected under the $100, 900 900 fund au-
thorized by the last Legislature.
The Metropolitan has consented to
join in this exposition upon the invita-
tlon OF the real estate men of Queens,
who propose to demonstrate that there
is no borough in the city which is max
ing greater progress in solving the
housing problem than their borough.
There are now more than 150 com
panies erecting homes. the entire in
vestment representing more than $685.
100000.
The Rexlty and Housing Show will
be under the direction of E. j. Demp
sey. Of Elmhurst,, assisted by c.
Witherspoon, F. NJ. Byrne. F. Spieiman,
T. A. Dwyer. J. w. Kennedy, P. Guidera,
I. P. McCann and e. W. Mcmahon.
There will be shown every variety
of house that is being erected in
Queens, from the modest single family
dwelling and bungalow to the high
class apartment house and big tene-
ment housing for sixty to eighty
families.

being completed by Andrew !. Thomas
and D. Everett Waid as architects We
have selected two tracts of land in the
Long Island City and Astoria districts
and the actual carrying out of this
project depends on the building cost
figures which may be developed within
the next few weeks. IF these figures
bring the costs within our require
ment. the project will undoubtedly pro-
coed. These requirements are that
with an average rental Of SO per room
per month the income from this prop
erty under efficient management, must
provide per cent on our investment
and per cent yearly amortization
fund. If we find that building costs
will not allow this the project will not
proceed
10000 Vacancies in Chicago
Mr.. Stabler also informed us that
this project has been questioned by a
number of speculative builders who
felt that it might interfere with the
operations which they are carrying out
NO such interference is anticipated
however as these buildings are de-
signed in most economical manner to
meet the low rental demand and will
not have special features and equip
ment for which the public is willing to
Fay Isuel prices ana WnlCn are pro-
| vided in privately developed building
operations. 1t is probably true and
greatly to be desired that rentals es-
tablished through this project will
| have some effect in stabilizing and
lowering rentals in the medium cost
apartment field.
In regard tc>- reaching the point Of
saturation in the demand for medium
cost rental apartments, Mr.. Stablcr's
opinion is that the first signs Of this
condition will be evident in the fall Of
this year. He contributed the impor-
tant information that the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company, aside from
its present commitments, has decided
to make no further comm TIM ents for
some time in financing medium cost
apartment buildings. This fact is in
terestng and significant and it may
be said that this condition is not pe-
cullar to New York City. | have lust
returned from study Of conditions in
Chicago. where the surprising fact was
discovered that on May of this year
there were approximately 10000 vacant
apartments in that city and that rem
tails are dropping rapidly and have
reached point probably 80 per cent
under peak figures.
It is quite obvious that the first
phase OF any period of great activity
IN the building field is largely repre-
sented by speculative building. It is
also evident that the home builder NAV
expect better situation as money. ma
terlais and labor are diverted from the
specialized field of speculative build
ing into other channels.
New-York tribune., 1922-05-21

Titles of building materials and labor
will be diverted to other purposes in
the building field, including smaller
residential construction. The impor-
tant question therefore is to determine
just when this condition will take place
and what factors of influence are being
cxerted to this end.
Plan Now. Build Later
Home builders are cautioned not to
anticipate any great drop in building
costs within the next few years. There
probably will be slight and fuctuat-
ing reduction. Greater production is
being forced by building material man
ufacturers and any shortage in mate
rials which affects prices can be ex-
pected as temporary in nature.
People who want homes should plan
them now and build whenever they are
ready. No great saving is anticipated
by waiting for any long period. Our
best advice to the home builder in re-
gard to the time for starting his
builders and material dealers in the To-
cality where it is proposed to build;
find out whether local building is SO
active that it is difficult to discover
contractors and sub-contractors who
are not too busy to quote fair costs.
In seeking building contractor try to
find one who has not too much work
on hand and who really is anxious to
get the job. Wherever possible 80 to
practical architects who know local
conditions for advice in the selection
of building materials and equipment,
and utilize every possible channel of
information regarding your home build
ing problems. Consider we'll the To-
cality in which you purchase lots, real
izing that in this active period of home
building the character of neiehbor-
hoods is being established. Study the
community in which you wish to live;
compare the. type of development which
is approaching your proposed building
site to determine if it has the char
acteristics which are acceptable to YOU.
One of the commonest mistakes of the
prospective home owner is failure to
anticipate conditions in the section
where he buys lots as they will be
within few years.
1t has been the purpose of this ar
ticle TO encourage the prospective home
builder to view his problem broadly. to
utilize logical channels of information,
and. above all. to apply to this problem
OF building home the same measure
OF common sense which is applied to
everyday business problems.

Sug9estion for Tribune Readers Who Contemplate
Colonial Design Represents House of Architectural
Charm and Interesting Interior; Builders
Say 1t Can Be Built for SO 1000

There are not many siX-room frame
houses of such attractive design as that
represented by plan No. II in The
Tribune series. Builders say it can be
built in and around New York to-day
for approximately $4,000 which is also
the cost estimate by the Home Owners
Service Institute. 1t is unusual to find
such generous room space in a house
Of this size.
This design shows dignifed extc-
rior for wide siding that would look
we'll in any suburban district. The
arch ltectural is Colonial in its lean
ings. Second prize in the recent Ma
tional Architects Small House Conn
petition" was awarded to the architects,
j. Ivan Disc and +. J. Maier, of Detroit,
for this design.
1t should be placed preferably on a
age. although it could easily be fitted
to narrow lot, in which case the
porch would face the street and the en-
trance would be reached from path
leading to the side OF the house.
Interior Is Typical Colonial
The plan is so arranged that there
is a decided sense of liberal space and
cpenness on the first floor. with the
jTlng room and din'nG room on elther
side Of the large hall. An interesting
detail is the winding staircase. typically
Colonial. up from the entrance hall to
the second floor.
Another feature is the little room
really 3 seventh room, and a fourth
bedroom accommo odation-off the living
room Equipped with one of the spe-
cial folding beds on the market it could
be used in an emergency as an addi-
tionsl bedroom. There is ample room
for dressing able in the bed alcove
and a window will provide light and
ventilation, so that privacy is assured
and place for the clothing Of the
