NEW SMALL HOUSES FOR 120,000 PERSONS; FLATS FOR 890,000. Butlders of the year have put up private dwellings for 120,000 persons, ‘There have been a few more than 12,000 pew houses. Flat builders have housed 80,000 persons in 1,500 new atfuctures. The new dwellings have cost $40,000,000, while nearly $50,000,000 has gone into the fi : This shows that dwelling construc- tion has cost $330 for each person housed, as an average, while the flat housing has cost $435. The high average of the flata has been caused by the large number of very costly structures un- dertaken in gilt-edged Manhattan sec- tions. In comparison, the majority of small dwellings have been built in a cheap manner on low-priced outlying sites which do not call for the expen- sive fittings of the flathouse type, Fiat building has been confined main- ly to the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens. Jersey City, too, shows @ notable in- crease and promises to make heavy inroads into the metropolitan flathouse population with its new transit factll- tea, Manhattan shows a decrease from the igh record of 36,310 now apartments in 1906 to 6,610 during the past year, New flats in Manhattan have been de- creasing eteadily in number every year, while ihe demolition of. old flathouses has been increasing.
