APARTMENTS
!. DISCUSSED
Times Will Publish Each Week
an Article on the New
Housing Idea

Realizing the great amount Of
interest in the cooperative apart
ment house idea and the large num-
of people who desire .more informa-
ton on the subject. The Times will
each week publish an article written
with the thought of telling its
readers OF the idea from every
angle.
This week, with the help of
Bates Warren, Of the firm of M.
r. B. Warren, we will answer sew
eral questions that have been asked.
What is the cooperative apart
ment plan OF home ownership?
It is q plan in which a number
Of people purchase, own, and
operate an apartment building and
In which each co-owner selects an
apartment to occupy as his home.
For the mutual protection OF the
owners. they transfer the feehold
interest in the property to a cor
poration or trustee. Matters Of gen.
eral interest are controlled and
managed by the tenant-owners
through the medium of a board of
directors if the feehold is held by
a corporation. or by an executive
committee IL it is held by trustee.
Matters pertaining to the specific
apartment OF each owner are con-
.trolled by the individual tenant
owner. He usually owns and oc-
cupies HIS apartment by virtue of
long term lease. which is his evil
sdence of title to the apartment.
Therefore, the owner is usually
called a tenant-owner. His evidence
of interest in the entire project is
a certificate of stock or a trustee .
certificate.
What are the kinds of co-opera-
tive plans?
Cooperative plans are classified
from one point of view. as the 100
per cent Plan and the semi-co-opera-
tive or joint ownership plan. In
the 100 per cent plan there is a
tenant-owner for every apartment
in the building; therefore there are
no apartments 90 be rented by the
entire group. In the semi-co-opera-
tive plan each stock certificate rep
resents an interest which Is greater
than the value of the equity Of one
apartment; therefore there are few
er tenant-owners than there are
apartments in the building, so that
the entire group rents some of the
apartments for their joint account.
Do. you consider a cooperative
apartment a good investment?
