N EISTS 1P " FORHOUNG DAY New York Called Paradise for| Truckmen, as Many Change Abodes. BY LEMUEL F. PARTON. Snecial Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, September 26.—Today moving van charges in New York City g0 from $12 to $15 an hour, which means the real start of the Fall moving mysh, culminating October 1, in the Na- tion’s single largest shift of population. ‘There are more than 10,000,000 per- sons in the region within New York City. Several millions of them make Summer and Winter migrations, and with all the digging and rebuilding go- ing on in Manhattan, the rest of them are kept pretty much on the move. ‘Whatever may be said of New York, it 5;"” moving. It is a truckman’s para- se. Just now the truckmen are fuming over the lack of teamwork between the architects of the new buildings and the furniture makers. The smart, modern apartments have small doorways and the modernistic furniture hasn’t been trimmed to fit. The old-fashioned houses, with their mahogany chande- liers and their 15-foot ceilings, had doors big enough to admit a circus wagon. Enlarging All Doors. The oversight of the new architects 18 causing all sorts of trouble and con- fusion. They subordinated utility to the esthetic requirements for a small aperture in a large, stuccoed wall space, usually without trim. It's a great suc- «cess artistically, ut it is driving truck- men to profanit;. One large uptown apartment build'ng is enlarging all its doors. While the steck market has sapped considerable money out of the building industry. the Summer exiles return to a new and bewildering jumble of towers and tall pent-house apartments, offer- ing new odds and ends of luxury never before dreamed of for apartments or otels, One 25-story, pyramided apartment building on the upper West Side has in- cluded an impressive art gallery, with a surprisingly good selection of paint- ings, etchings and statuary. It also in- cludes & swimming pool, a gymnasium and roof playgrounds and apparatus for children, and rooms which may be used as classrooms if desired if the tenants | wish to organize a private school under | the home roof tree. This, like most of the other apartments of its class, has an | electric refrigeration system in each | apartment. The rental includes refrig- | eration, gas and electric light. Handle All Details. ‘The tendency is for the apartment management to take over every possible detail of the living regime, in a single transaction. A dweller in one of these mew New York apartments may make all his purchases of clothes, food and furniture under one roof; he may obtain recreation, exercise and even education without even crossing the street, and | the housewife requires expertness chiefly in pressing buttons. The pent-house idea, along with the hew sun and air craze, is sweeping the town and New York is climbing into the clouds as rapidly as its resources will permit. The pent-houses have terraces, many of them with gardens of exotic shrubs and flowers. Twenty or thirty stories in the air, they give a gn:‘mmcen! view of the Hudson and t rivers, and, in the upper price levels, probably constitute the most spectacular and luxurious living quarters in_the world. Both apartment and business build- Ings, shooting up overnight from one end of the island to another, are built on constantly shortening periods of ob- solescence. On steel and on elevators there is no stinting, as safety considera- tions must come first, but as to other | largest buildings of lower Broadw! built with the finest and most durable materials a few years ago, have been unprofitable, The new method is to chalk up depreciation over a period of 20 years. The building must pay for itself in that time and be ready for the pick-ax, if necessary. ' Not Dangerous. This does not mean that New York's new apartment and office buildings are dangerous or flimsy structures. It means that costs have been scaled down to the minimum of the desired beauty and utility and that the builders are merely catching step with the new cconomics, which reflects itself in the automobile industry by the annuel turn- in, instead of five or six years' use of the same car. Changes in financing and operating parallel the architectural revolution. In December the New York Real Estate | Exchange, the first ever established, will be opened. Instead of bonds, which offer no chance for realization on in- creased values, and which mature in 10 or 20 years, the exchange will deal in real estate stocks. These will be convertible, so the holder of a preferred | stock may take common and stand a chance to skim some of the cream of in- Big operators in Philadelphia and s eral other cities have bought seats, and throughout the country leading real estate men are watching the enterprise closely with the idea of jumping in il it works. It is predicted here that the | new exchange will lead the way to stock -dealing in real estate all over the United States. As a footnote to moving day, it is| noted here that October 1, 2 and 3| mean an annual distribution of about $100.000,000 among restaurants through- out the country, with wayfarers making the break from old dwellings to new, and with the whole family compelled io take its meals in restaurants, (Copyright, 1929.)
