” FLAT-DWELLERS THE PRIZE IN BIG TRANSIT BATTLE a Realty Owners of All Sections Organize in Final Struggle For Populaton, OLD CENTRES TO LOSE. Manhattan, Bronx and Outer Suburbs Fear McAneny Plan of Compromise. Long Island ts preparing to capture Mere thousands of Manhattan flat- Awellera, Bullders and realty operators believe that the new subways will drain old clty home centres. Thay are planning @ wide flat building campatgn to supply the demand for homes that would result trom the tapping of the rich Broadway Duginess section by @ subway direct from Brooklyn. Real estate interests in all parts of the Greater City realized suddenly this week that they must begin @ desperate fight for their transit rights because the time ts near when the subway future must be settled. Taxpayers’ organisa- tons entered the contest and appointed committees to carry on their work. Manhattan and the Bronx are striving fo keep their flat house population. To “lose it would reduce incomes and wipe ot equities. Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond are pressing hard for new tvangit facilities which would spread the People over cheap outside home sites. Property owners in general are taking the subway fight away from the old traction combinations. They are hold- ing mass meetings and preparing dein- onstrations, They resent the refusal of the Board of Estumate to rive them all 4 public hearing aext Wer esday when the McAneny report is to come up for discussion, Manhattan and Bronx organtsations and private owners have arranged for 4 mass meeting in Cooper Union next week. They intend to volco through Prominent speakers the facts which they had prepared for proseniation to the Board of Estimate on Wednesday, MAR}.ET LEADERS SEE NEW LONG DELAYS, Market leaders in all sections declared Yesterday that the rapid transit situa- tion had been rendered more uncertain than ever by the plans proposed to the Board of ketimate. They believe that many new problems have been created | and that long delays must attend ne- tions for further agreements. 'y have been seeking a rapid transit system that would give connection with every other part for @ single five-cent fare. Under the McAneny plana, the | Bronx and Manhattan north of Fitty- ninth street have no connection with | Brooklyn or the Coney Island district for @ single fare, while Brooklyn ts to actically all parts of the Greater | be eonnected by the Broadway subway | with the main business districts in which are employed the majority of wage earners whose homes are in Harlem and the Bronx, This has alarmed owners of Man-| hattan and Bronx flat houses. Nearly 20,009 of them are members of the various local organizations of the United Real Estate Owners Association. | ‘They have formed the Manhattan & Bronx Protective Committee to unite the various bodies of outside taxpayers in the two boroughs. With them in the fight to hold Man- hattan and Bronx population are the Allied Real Estate Interests, Real Dstate Board of Brokers, payers. Taxpayers’ Alliance of the Bronx, representing over thirty local organizations in that borough, The committee is acting for local assocla- tions in both boroughs. Many taxpayer associations of Queens, | Breoklyn and Richmond oppose the) MeAneny plan because it does not offer A five-cent fare ¢o all parts of the city and because, it threatens to involve huge extra expense. thus calling for heavier taxes and assessments. In Brooklyn and Queens sections which would be available for fiat bulldors, however, owners aro active in support of tha proposed invasion of Manhattan's chief business centres.

Queens is battling practically alone for {ts share of the new subways, Ite claims being contested by Brooklyn and .\lohmond, 48 well as by Manhattan and tne Bronx. equate transit aro being held in varl- ous parts of the Long Island boroughy. But Queens expects to get many dwel ing seekers whom the fiat builders wili drive out of Brooklyn. All former buitding records in Quee: were broken during the week, total pi mite tssued for new work calling for outlay of $1,071,826. Builders filed pla for 246 new structures, % of which son- sisted of two-story brick dwellings for the Ridgewood section, to cost $285,000, Most of the other permits were for dwell- ings to cost from $8,000 to $10,000 each. Brooklyn Hkewise scored a heavy In- crease of projects to discount the prob: able inflow of flat dwellers. Large oper ators in the outlying parts of that bor- ough, such as Willlam EB. Harmon, pre- dicted confidently that the result of the subway negotiations would start a great boom in Brooklyn land values. With a subway from Brooklyn through the best part of Manhattan's Broadway, they said, the long looked for equalization of values would be brought about with suddenness and land avatlable for flat fuilders would be worth as much ae it has been in Harlem and the Bronx at equal transit time from Manhattan busl- hess centres. B.AAL .ER HOME SE.KERS @o BEYOND CIT. LIMITS. Imvestors and speculators who are afraid of higher taxes as a result of short sighted financing of the proposed subway continue to flock outside of the city limits, ‘Their buying and butld- ing made new high records in almoat all of the outlying @uburbe during the woek.
