Ground ftptce Higher In hut Hie t'nlted SUtM testis In He torn From Office Structures-Opinions tit Ky pert on the Ittntlng Jltuallon. Th Trinity Buildinc, overlooking est renting building in the United States. 1 Jm could u- i ntiH KrirteS made more general.

The highest priced renting building In tho world would probably be the exact truth. There has always been more or lees curiosity us to which of New York's palatial office buildings, ornate affairs of bronae, marble and mahogany as many of them are, was tho most expensive from a renter's standpoint, and from all tnat could he learned by Tun St'N representative the palm appears to be taken by the Trinity Building, one of the creation of tho United States Healty and Improvement Company. Standing sentinel over the dead of more than a century, It towers twenty-one stories at 111 Broadway, 'and every room on tho downtown side commands a superb view, tenants on the topmost floors having vistas of the North River and the harbor, with Jersey City, Hoboken and the Palisades in the distance. The building is mainly occupied by bankers, lawyers and brokers, and the rentals average 94. a square foot.

Oeorge T. Mortimer, the renting agent of the United States Realty and Improvement Company, when seen a few days ago In his office on tho fourteenth floor of the Trinity Building, In which are located the general offices of the corporation, which has for its president Harry 8. Black, said that ground rents might be higher in England than in New York, but that floor space rental in Ootham undoubtedly exceeded that of any foreign city. Looking out of the window nt his elbow, Mr. Mortimer indicated No.

1 Wall street as an.ezample of high ground values in New York, 1,100 square feet at that point having sold for 9700,000. or 9700 a square foot. English capitalists are content to take smaller returns on their realty investments. One advantage of the Trinity Building is the width of the offices. A man wants a wide arpatment to give him an abundance of air and sunlight, and those who have vorked in such quarters say that they ire more than compensated for any addi-lonal financial outlay by the inspiration hey receive from their surroundings.

A nan will do more work under cheerful onditlons and his labor will be lightened proportion to his environment. Mr. Monlmer was asked if all the big ffice buildings paid a fair return on the nvestment. There is no reason why a big building hould not pay," he said, "and I think that tost of them do. All that is necessary i the application of sound business rtnciples to the problem and the employ-tent of common sense in the layout of our structure.

Location, light and air nm first and after that corridor space, evator service, lighting and all the other stalls that go to make up organization, 'f course sometimes persons erect an floe building without consulting comment authorities and the result is dis-itroue. I have la mymind now a build-in' putupbyanestatein whichthere wore one of the distinctive arrangements which itrons demand nowadays and are in a osition to compel because of the fact at competition is keen. That building yesn't pay per cent, on the investment idtierer will lie a money maker unless flnrl wu.j. 7 one at an enormous cost To a man or corporation about to build and seeking advice I would say.

Both these structures are isolated. The Broad Exchange Building, for many years considered tho largest office, structure in the United States, is now I surpassed by the Hudson Terminal twins ana the New Whitehall. Rents in the Broad Exchange run from 92.2S to a foot, while in the Hudson lerminul- they varv from 91.50 to 92. Taking the Hudson Tormlnals as separate buildings the New Whitehall is the leviathan of its kind. Space is now being let in it nt from 92.25 to 92.60 a foot and there are feet available for rental puroses.

Mr. Van Norden is said to have spent 9100,000 on the mansion, among other improvements installing a gymnasium. He also built a garage and special quarters for a pair of zebras, behind which he frequently appeared In the town of Rye and the surrounding territory.

Tho announcement is made that the transfer was for a cash consideration and that no trades were involved in the deal. The body of John Jay reposes in a private cemetery in the vicinity of the man sion, and visitors come and go constantly viewing the ground which is th lost resting place of the distinguished jurist. Before Warner M. Van Norden acquired the property It was occupied for some years by Mr. and Mr.

D. Percy Morgan. The old mansion is said to be the finest example of Colonial architecture between New York and Boston. Warner M. Van Norden.

St. Philip's Protestant Episcopal Church, which recently sold Its holdings, comprising nine antiquated buildings on the north side of Thirtieth street, just west of Sixth avenue, the last of its extensive properties in tho Pennsylvania section, haa taken in part payment a row of ten double flats six stories high situated on the north side of 135th street between Lenox and Seventh avenues. The property stands In the name of the Chase Realty Company and is known as No. 107 to 145 West 135th street.

It covers the entire block front with the exception of the two corners the northwest corner of Lenox avenue and the northeast corner of Seventh avenue. To be more exact, tho property has a street frontage of 400 feet and a depth of 89.11. It was acquired by the Chase Realty Company about five years ago and Is valued by the' city at The ten of which measures 40xS9.ll, are tenanted by whites just now, hut it is a question just how long this will bo the case, as the congregation of St. Philip's is colored and the neighborhood is essentially colored district. The Thirtieth street property traded by the church is known as No.

113 to 131 and is covered with nine old buildings four and five stories high.

It is verv likely that this property will now be improved with a l-irifl Unnln wlik tl, character of th changes made in that section in the last few years. The Terry 4 Tench Company, iron mrA BlA.1 cl.iwilll.il nnnlt.nlnt. I. a bought twenty acres of the Newark ows rrom Josepn r.

uay ana will immediately improve the ground by the erection of their bridgo shop. Other developments will follow, among them the erection of factories for lease or sale. Docking and rullrocd privileges will be included in any lease or transfer, as the property has a frontage on the Hacken-sock Blver of 475 feet. The price could not be learned, but inasmuch as the waterfront In the vicinity of the operation has been held at t'oo a foot front the total will probably exceed $350,000. The property adjoins the large tracts of the Drexler Lumber Company and the Foundation Company, running back to Passaio avenue.

Sidings will be run into this tract by the Pennsylvania. Lackawanna, Central Bailroad of New Jersey and the Erie railroads, all of whose lines run through Newark meadows. These meadows, which not so many years ago were considered woll nigh unsalable, are much in demand for factory and shipping fiurposos. Thoy aro only fifteen minutes ly the Hudson tubes from the heart of the retail and wholesale sections of New York. The Hudson-Manhattan Company has a clause in Its charter which will permit it to handle freight through its tunnels, a big inducement to those manufacturers who are seeking space where they can have both rail and water facilities for the shipping of their merchandise.

The buyers of the Day property are among the largest contractors of their kind anywhere. They built the new Manhattan Bridge and the New York end of the Williamsburg Bridge and are the contractors for the structural work of the Grand Central Station improvements. Charles Warren Trembley represented them in tho purchase of the Meadows property. Christian W. Felgenspan, the Newark brower, has also bought some of the Newark meadow property through Mr.

The plans call for a three story building to bo built in the Italian renaissance style of architecture at a cost of KW.ooo. The style of facade has not yet been determined, hut Klmor A. Darling, president of the club, said that if will probably be of light marble with polished marble trimmings.

One of the features will be two highly polished monoliths which will extend from' the first floor to the roof. They will be capped with a frUae which will be an exact reproduction of the frieze work In tho temple of Vesta. This feature was Incorporated in ths plans by Mr. Darling, who studied archl-tecture in the Boston Technical InstitSi. before associating himself with the Fifth Avenue Hotel half a century ago.

The building will have two entrances over which will be the shields of America and the twelve States in the Isle of Jersey The club will occupy the basement, th rear part of the street floor and the second floor. The third floor and the toat fiart of the ground floor will be rented the basement wilt be a steel vault. In which will be kept the electric plates of hundreds of Jersey cattle, and Just ovr this will be another vault in which the pedigrees of some 400,000 head of cattle will be safeguarded. These vaults, though separated, will reach from the basement, floor to the ceiling of the first floor. In the rear of ho basement will be the shipping department, which last year sent out 5,000,000 pamphlets on the proper care of cattle.

In tho rear of the street floor will be the executive chambers, and orr this the business departments of the club.
