PPER WEST SDE. APARTMENTS COST SMALL FORTUNES | \\ The $50 a Week Man Has al Sad Day Flat Hunting. | | and Is Discouraged, | | NONE AT FAIR PRICES.’ | $75 a Month the Bottom Rate, but Plenty of Places for | Big Rental | ' ‘Woll—tt was a very hard and sad! day yesterday! Downhearted? You said it! All day long an Evening World reporter, posing as a clerk getting $50 & week, with a wife and a child to support, hunted for an apartment which that salary would allow. The hunt was staged on the upper west sido, betwoen 150th and 190th Streata, And not one was found. You are sur- ) prised? The writer wishes he could be ho'g too tired. | ‘The story is the chronicle of a con- tinuous maroh from one real estate of- fice to another, and up steps and Jown steps to see what there was to de had of janitors of apartment houses, | ‘The first call was made at the office of Charies Kohler, at No. 1428 St tcholas Avenue. The morning was t new and the investigator was stil} justained by the breakfast coffee and is question came forth courage: | ‘oaty: | ire you @ small apartment for | out $50 a montu—something with a oath, 2 small kitchen—about four room: i ‘What is that?” asked the comely ng woman, “You want an apart- ment for $50 a month? Why I am afraid we can't do anything for you I guess what we have will be sort of | expensive for you. We have one apart- ent at No. 129 Wadsworth Avenue, It's seven rooms, in an elevator build ing and will cost you $150 a month It's @ Vory nice apartment and a bar- gain at that price, If you can afford it. Thero is another, four rooms, on the fifth floor of a walkup house, at No, 607 West 180th Street. It's the yery cheapest thing we have, It's $75 ® month.” Fifty dotlars a wook is $200 a month or a Httle over, and §75 subtracted from that leaves $125 a month on which to purchase clotues for your- aelf, wife and baby and pay doctor’s ‘bills and all the other things Inct- dental to family life, \For the samo class of apartment youpatd $30 to $35 @ month a year and a half or two years ago, and your $50 a week went a long way toward keeping you and your family in comparative comfort. THE $50 MAN NOW CROWDED INTO SIDE STREETS. Tf you had taken the $150 apart- ment rou would have left $60 a month to waste upon theatres, food, &c. And the tragic part of it ta: This vicinity was the stamping ground of the man 5 to $50 a week a couple ago, But where is he to- y? Crowded Into the aide streets. The man who occupied a $60 a month apartment tn the territory of this investigation two years ago is now asked to pay $150 or more for {t. The man who paid $45 or $50 a month is asked to pay $75 to $100 J, H.

But just to satis- fy you—I have two apartments va- * gant at No. 406 University Avenue at the corner of Fordham Road, Ono pf them is four rooms and Is to go at $90. The other is five rooms and is $115 a month; You can't find any- thing for much less. I am afrald you are on a fruitless search.” It wasn't necessary for Mr to nay 80 Next application was made at the Mice of Charles Berlin, No. 3883 Broadway. There & young woman said they had apartments for rent in & new building at West 1734 and Fort Washington Avenue. After forme: rebuffs the prospective tenant did no have the nerve to suggest $45 or $50 at first as the maximum rental. He aimply asked in a half hearted way; ave you apartments to let?’ Whereupon this list was handed out: Three rooms and bath, $1,209; four rooms and bath, $1,700; ‘Ave rooms and bath, $1,900; six rooms and bath, $2,400, all at the above- mentioned address. “And you haven't anything for sbout $45 or $50 a month,” was meek- Aah vontured. ‘Oh, no; we hayen't anything so cheap as that. Thoso were the prices of years ago, You probably are not looking for an apartment. Most itkely @ room is what you want—a nice furnished room would about suit you, I guess,” she suggested in kindly tone. “But we don't have a Mgt of rooms here.” HAVE TO PAY WELL TO “WALK UP.” We next come to the F, J. Mc- Mahon Company, Inc., with offices at No. 1438 St. Nicholas Avenue. There extensive list of apartments were suggested. A disheartening fact was that not one of them was within the power of $50 a week. Nos, 659 and 565 West 188th Street were fret vis- ited. There rooms, rear, center, were offered for $75 a month and they were on the fourth floor. Thi house was a walk-up, Six rooms were offered for $150 and four for $100. “Ie that the best you oan do?” sald the investigator. "You that's the best we can do," sald the renting agent on the premises, “And the little $75 apartment ia about the nicest th t Kahn you'll find anywhere for the pric “A little spurt of pride prompted the | inveaUgator to hauantily ‘amt Prefer an elevator apartment.” With thie he hoped to make a “ ** T HE EVENING WORLD, fT Judge Praises First Jury of Women After It Reaches Verdict in 35 1 ———ANTESOCIALIST Minutes |AW TURNED DOWN WOMAN KILLS MAN.
