IDLE APARTMENTS “HELD HIGH” DOT UPPER WEST SIDE Many Vacant Between Broad- way and Eighth Avenue Above 110th Street. $65 TO $125 A MONTH. Every Third or Fourth House in Side Streets Has a “To Let” Sign. There are plenty of apartments va- cant in the eection east of Broadway, north of 110th and west of Elghth Avenue and in some cases a alight tendency to reduce prices from the figures of a year ago. An Evening World investigator found thirty-two to let sins between 110th and 160th, on St. Nicholas Ave- nue yesterday afternoon, and the rentals ranged from $65 to $125 a month. With a few exceptions they were all habitable, Light apartmenis. In the sido streets, botween Broad- way and St. Nicholas there are plenty of places to be had; on an average of one in every threo or four houses has a sign out. In one house in 150th Btreet, just off St. Nicholas Avenue, there are four vacancies, and the owners are having difficulty in rent- ing them. Two of them have been vacant for a month or more, The rentals asked are from $200 to $1,100. Around the corner on Convent Av nue are two more vacancies. In, one they want $80 for m slx-room apart- ment and in the other they want $110 for five rooms, one flight up. In the last case the apartment won't be va- cant until to-morrow, so the owners still have with them the courage of YVetorles won. And thus It goes, If you are looking for an apartment of the middle class there Is no reason why you should gu to a hotel and waste your money or put your furniture in storage, A real ate man who rents much property through this section and who wishes his name withheld for business rea- sons, sald yesterday: “I blame newspapers to eome ex- “The housing shortage his been niostly on paper, but profiteering has only been too real.

Modern civi'ization has made rubber heels far more necessary than rubber tires. But the mere fact that it’s a “rubber” heelisn’t enough.
