His statement. in full, follows:
I'VE have read a statement

the sale of apartments at The
Westchester.
Before submitting the plan, we
made a careful study and analysis
Of many others used in this city
and elsewhere. We believe the
present proposal to be the fairest
OF its type ever offered. We have
undertaken to sell cooperative
apartments at The Westchester, as
real estate agents, and shall con-

Suffice it for the present to say,
in answer to the claim that the
sale price of The Westchester is

More than IL million square

able section of this city. are of the
reasonable value of SIS million,
which is less than $3.50 per square

Total value of land and build

LAS stated before, I believe this
a very good plan for the tenants,

will be satisfactory to all con-
cerned.
