Thousands of workers . must be house in Queens during the next few years, in addition to big flow of population from older crowded sec- tions of the city in search of cheaper jand and better houses at no advance in rentals. Five new rapid transit lines connecting Queens with trunk lines of the other boroughs have been completed, The sixth and last will be opened next January—the loop of the «rhe Pagan God.” Brooklyn Rapid Transit across East | River at 50th Street, thence south | through Manhattan under Broadway | to South Ferry and back under the) river to Brooklyn, Queens Chamber | of Commerce predicts officially that the population of the borough by 1950 will be 3,000,000. “No other section of New York City possesses its advantages for the con- struction of™homes,” it says, “Its thousands of undeveloped acres are closer to the business centres of Man- hattan and Brooklyn, with lower land values, than those of any other sec- tion, They are connected with ull parts of the gre&ter city by the best transit systems at a 5-cent fare and excellent running time service. The crease of population during the year will be ready for tenants next Octo- ber. But fumilies in old crowded sections who want to movo will have to look for homes at the same rents, or lower, in other localities more suburban, ,With oider neighborhoods congested, builders are forced to go further into the suburbs where they yet land at more reasonable prices. There they are putting up flats and apartments of the city type at total outlays enabling them to offer homes at lower rents than tenants are paying for the same type of house in the old sections. Such houses are arising along the now rapid transit lines, They give families in all conditions of income a chance to avoid paying higher rents—bur ten- ants must go to the houses because the houses cannot go to the tenants. 30 NEW FACTORIES FOR QUEENS IN SIX MONTHS, Speculative aspects of the money situation have prevented residential builders trom getting plentiful loans even while projects fér business have found ready financing.
