i'f- 10 THE SUN, SUNDAY, JULY 15, 1917. Negroes, Solving Own Housing Problem, Buy $1 ,350,000 of High Class Apartment Houses in Harlem While Philanthro- pists Talk of What Be Done for Leading Colored MenTake Action for Them-I selves Acquire 6 Large, Modern Buildings well meaning white folks, philanthropists, real estate, and ethers are planning and talking about Improving the housing -condition' of negroes In this cltr the negro himself hfM cat out to 'solve his' own housing problem, lie took the first step tn this direction last week when he amased tyote who Tiave been working In his Utterest by the purchase of six fine Mr apartment bouses on Hist and 14Zd streets, between Lenox and Seventh avenues, property which a few years ago 9ld for more than $1,350,000. For an Isttlal step It Is a long one, and since If" was taken by the negro himself It lr evident that he has Ideas about how shall live that are far In advance of those which are being planned for Mm. In these apartment houses he HU have all the comforts of the modern apartment house. He will even be lifted to his apartment by elevators just In the best apartment house In the cKy.

He will have United States mall chute service, telephone, gas and electricity. In all apartments are hardwood trim arid parquet floors, tile baths with showers and pedestalled lavatories, open nickel plated plumbing, with porcelain ttktures. both in bath and In kitchen ample closet room. doors with Florentine glass are In the dining rooms. jToe houses were built about Ave years ago for white folks who were expected to pay fairly good rents for accommodations.

They are now partly occupied by white folks under leases which will net expire until October. As the block shitted from a tenantry of white folks several years ago to one of colored 1 ud 1,000,000 APARTMENTS ON lH ST AND I4-2M STREETS BOUGHT LAST WEEK BY A NEGRO SYNDICATE FOR THE USE OF NEGROES folks the occupants of the houses changed as rapidly as leases expired and to-day the row is occupied by white and colored families. The negro population of Harlem, when these houses were erected, was estimated at 49,000. This population has almost doubled since that time and to-day the estimate la that there are upward of 75,000 negroes In the northeast corner of Harlem. They have huddled Into dwellings and tenements and apartments abandoned by the whites.

Housing accomodations were so limited thatv friends of the negro, folk who had the moral side of the colored man at heart, real estate men who had Interests In Harlem to protect, and builders of model tenement houses In the San Juan at 810 West Sixty-third street, for their occupancy. The proposal was welcomed by the colored folks of the section, most of whom are hard working and law abiding citizens. Philip A. Payton, and others of their leaders cooperated with this committee of moralist, real estate men and builders, for the plan woutd give to the negro as good housing conditions as prevailed In other sections of the city and at rentals below those which they were paying for poorer quarters. It is a mistaken Ides, that the negro does not pay high rents.

He pays more relatively for the poor quarters he occupies than the white does for far superior premises. This Inequality has been causlnc considerable unrest In the section decided to help the housing prob- colored recton and many resectable lem of the negro and plans were laid families have been threatening to leave and talked over for erecting In the 1 for the localities where they could have ments. Who are Interested with him In negro section of Harlem a series of better homes for less money. It was the purchase of the houses Is not to be model tenements, such as the Hampton I this unrest which epurred the real estate I known. They are colored folks, how- interests of Harlem to lay plans for bundling clean, wholesome tenements which they could.rent for 11.60 a room a week, the apartments being divided into three and four, rooms with baths, the bath not being considered a room.

This type of house would appeal strongly to the average negro family and would eliminate 'the 'necessity of taking In boarders In order to meet the prevailing high rents. But there were other families in the negro, section who wanted better homes than these houses would provide. They wanted dwelling places as fine as the whites, since they were able to afford them. It was this demand that Induced the steps taken last week. Mr.

I'ayton, negro real estate man, organized the Phil too Realty Company to buy the 141st and 142d street apart- ever, as far as can be learned, who have entered the company not out of philan thropy but on a purely commercial basis, that Is, to makemoney. They know to what extent the colored man has profited by the prosperity waves which have been sweeping over the United States for the last few years. Apparently negroes have met these waves, for they are willing to pay in the new apart ment houses a rental of 110 a room, which means that a four room flat will coat them 140 a month. The larger apartments will cost them from 160 to 170 a month to rent. Since there are 306 suites tn the six houses and every one of them wilt be rented, more than 1160,000 will be paid In a year by the colored folks who will live there.

It Is the highest rental that has ever been paid by colored tenantry In this city The houses also are the finest that have ever come under con trol of colored folks In this city.

The Plant dwelllrig is one of the best known on Fifth avenue. It cost a fortune to build and with the Vanderbllt houses on the opposite side of the block was great barrier to the northward movement of trade along Fifth avenue. Many Inducements were offered Mr.

Plant to nart with his house, either on lease or sale, but he refused until several months ago, when he decided that his stand against trade was useless and consented to lease his residence to the Cartiers for a long term of years. In (ha lease was the proviso thst the exterior appearance of the dwelling was not to be marred by the changes which the tradesmen would make. It was noticed recently that an alteration being made in the front of the building was very much more extensive than the terms of the lease permitted.

BARGE TERMINALS HELD DP. Cost of Construction Slakes Them Unfavorable at This Time, Relief of railroad transportation by the use and development of waterways as requested from Washington by the Department of Commerce cannot be fully realized In New York because of labor and construction cost. In answer to the call for cooperation from Washington the Chamber of Commerce of the Borough of Queens took up with State Engineer Frank M. Williams the matter of the construction of the three barge terminals In Queens whose completion would relieve the shortage of roiling mock in this state. The engineer answered that studies of the proposed development were being made, but he pointed out that this Is a very unfavorable time for progressing construction of this nature.

In the case of the terminal at 138th street and Harlem River, he wrote, It was only after two advertisements that a proposal was received, on which the work was awarded, and then at a price In excess of the engineer's prnlimtnary estimate of cost Highly Interesting Is the fact that tho tenantry for the John Alden, the nine story apartment house being erected at 44 West Tenth street, about midway between Fifth and Slx'th avenues. Is being drawn from sections miles and miles from Washington Square. It would fceem unusual for the head of a leading financial Institution of Amherst. to seek an apartment In New York city and particularly the Washington Square section, yet that has happened In the case of the John Alden apartment, which is to have for one of Its forty tenants a man well known In tho New England college town. This man Is not the only resident of a far distant place who has found what he desired In the new Tenth street apart ment house.

A business man of Princeton has selected a suite there; so has a resident of EAglesburg, which Is near Philadelphia. A New York real estate expert with a home In East Orange Is coming to live In the John Alden, and Just now a Baron, the representative of one of the leading nations of Europe and for some time his country's agent In America, Is negotlaUng for the last of th three six room suites, the largest apartments In the house.

A decision of Interest to property owners was handed down last week by the Appellate Division. It has to do with assessing damages that were suffered by real estate at Broadway and Mercer street through a subway shaft structure erected there. This case was originally decided against the Underpinning and Foundation Company When appealed the case was regarded as so Important that several subway contractors Joined In the appeal. The character of the suit and amount of money Involved Induced the Advisory Council of Real Estate Interests to follow Its progress cnrefully through the courts. The contractors maintain that If they can be held liable for damages to real property because of subway construction all such Judgments can be collected by them from the clfy.

Whether this contention Is correct or not does not concern the property owner. Inasmuch as the Appellate Division primarily permits the property owner to obtain damages from the contractor I There was little dispute as to facts In this case. Tho plaintiff was In possession of a store, the yearly rental of which amounted to $7,500. There were panel window on either side of the tore, which was located at Broadway and Mercer street wefore the subway shaft structure was erected light could enter these premises so as to enable business to be done during the spring and summer months until 4 o'clock In the afternoon. The contractor erected wo double shafts for subway construc tion purposes, one of which was located In front of these particular prem ises.

Other structures were erected to 1 that a good part of the entrance and show windows of the property owner were obstructed, and this particular store I had to be lighted by artificial means.
