Lewis Homes Manager, Back

Optimistic

Guy s, zepp. local manager for
the Lewis Manufacturing Company,

with the officers Of his company at
Bay City. Mich. He reports the
outlook brighter than ever before,
and expresses himself as greatly
impressed by the buzz of activity
noticeable in all branches OF in.

"A careful study Of the foregoing
conditions very clearly indicated
why the 50 per room per month

why 1t is equally possible for any
smaller organization or individual.
The surveys issued from month to
month by the Department Of Labor
and Department OF Commerce very
certainly show that there Is no
very evident decrease in the cost Of
labor or materials. In all fairness
to the builders and apartment

PROJECT
Find Many Elements Entered
in Metropolitan Housing
Scheme Impossible Here

In the interest of cheaper hous-
ing in Washington says a state.
ment issued by the Washington AS
ISOLATION of Building Owners and
Managers, this organization has
made a study Of several housing
projects with a view to ascertain
Ing the factors which made the
cheap rental possible, at a time
when every item which enters into
the cost Of housing is at almost a
peak price, particularly materials
and labor. Very special study was
given to the housing project of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany, which is frequently referred
to in our local papers and by mem-
bers Of the Rent Commission, the
statement being made that these
modern, comfortable apartments
have been built and are now being
rented at 50 per room per month
and that upon this basis the Metro.
politan Insurance Company is en-
,joying a net return of per cent.
Correspondence with the Comp.
troller of the Metropolitan Life IN
eurance Company, Mr.. Walter Stab
Ter, reveals some very interesting
facts which bear directly upon the
question OF the cost of these apart.
ments. Such q project could not
pc duplicated, unless all conditions
We're exactly the same.
How PrOect Started.
THE housing project was under,
taken by the life insurance company
at the instance of the Lockwood
committees, which investigated the
high cost and scarcity of housing in
New York, and was only launched
after the, New York Legislature
passed an enabling act, providing
that such a, project should be tax
exempt. So that this vast property,
now about completed, providing
homes for 2,125 families and costing
approximately $7,500,00O is exempt
from city taxes until 1892. The
insurance company states: "'It is
doubtful if eight per cent net on
cost could be realized without tax
exemption, at a rental Of SO per
month per room, but there is no
doubt that an additional rent Of
$1.5O per month per room would pro.
vide for full taxes
Taxation, therefore would add
~ per month to the present rental
or four room apartment. "As to
the economic soundness Of tax ex.
emption, we quote from an article
by Frank Chouteau Brown. an emf.
nent architect. writing in the Ameri.
can Architect issue. of Nav 1904
on The Low Rental Apartment-An
economic Fallacy.' With resnect ~

field for others further to cultivate
it. Nevertheless the company has
pretty well established that no
other venture, less well organized
or on any smaller scale, without
a similar amount of ready cash
would have any hope of su recess
upon the basis here demonstrated
ut seems \ hardly necessary to
suggest that in Washington or
other cities of the same size. it
would not be possible to organize
and promote to a successful con-
clusion a housing project on this
basis. The capital, or very
largely part of it, would have to
be provided through the sale OF
bonds, involving the payment OF
commissions, advertising charges,
etc., all of which must be con-
sidered in the final cost Of the
housing.
Demand for cheap housing is
invariably coupled with further
demand for convenience as to loca-
ton, accessibility to schools, shop
ping district, markets, etc. The
New York project, though lying Tar
out, lis served by several forms OF
transportation, suhways, elevated
and surface cars and all within

exemption period. But already its
sponsors have given up MI hope Of
it's having any real benefit IN less
ening the pressure and lowering the
cost Of apartment housing N that
city. The working of tax exemp-
ton means, in the end, that other
property must carry the load,
which would result IN increasing
taxation on all other property
meanwhile, the economic falIacy up
on which this. entire theory was
based has been recognized as work
ing an injustice upon all other
property not benefited.
'The funds for this housing pro.
ject were supplied by the life in
surance company--$7. 800, 900 is the
estimated completed cost. We did
not have to borrow any money nor
pay any commissions, writes the
Comptroller. Commenting on this
phase of the operation, Mr.. Brown
in his article says: 1.-THE possibility
OF the operation having peen estab-
lished it is not the intention of the
company to construct any further
buildings under this law. They feel
that, having shown that ssuch a
venture was financially possible,

would be Immediately at very
great disadvantage because he
would be confronted with the

who must depend upon street cars
for transportation would hesitate to
consider, even a most attractive

of the special economies made
possible by an abundance Of ready
