For Classified Ad Results BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1938 Telephone MAin 4-6000 WI Red Hook Slum Project Starts June 1 City Housing Authority Waits Washington O.K. -See Record Low Rent Spade work for the first 12 units of the new $19,000,000 Red Hook low -cost housing project which will ultimately provide dwellings for more than 3,000 families, is expected to begin shortly after June 1, according to present estimates of Commissioner Alfred Rheinstein, chairman the New York City Housing Authority. Discussing details of the new his home. 42 E. 71st protecattan.

yesterday the commissioner declared that work would start soon after formal approval for the project had been received from Washington. Two months, he said. would be needed between receipt of approval and the commencement of actual work on the project, for completion of working drawings and specifications. Outlining plans for the development, which will occupy nearly 50 acres south of Hamilton Ave. and overlooks the Gowanus Canal and the Upper Bay, the commissioner said that one of the outstanding features of the buildings would be self -operated elevators, hitherto considered impractical for low -cost houses.

In this connection Mr. Rheinstein said, "The land cost for the Red Hook project is very low when compared to other suitable sites. Even when costs for piling and other foundations are added to the land price, the total is still considerably below anything else available at the moment. Once the piling has been driven, a six-story elevator dwelling on a per-room basis is no more costly than a four -story walk-up." Plenty of Light and Air The buildings, which will be six stories high, will occupy only 25 percent of the lots on which they are built, to provide air and light space. The ordinary apartment, the commissioner explained, occupies about 90 percent of lot space.

"Even with six-story buildings," he said, "the population density will be much lower than anything to which New York is accustomed. The net area covered will be less than 25 percent of all the land acquired, making possible spacious courts and gardens, and affording adequate light and air." This year, the commissioner declared, the Authority will acquire land for the entire project, at an estimated sum of $3,000.000, but will construct buildings providing only about 1,300 apartments containing about 5,000 rooms capable of housing approximately 5,500 persons, at a total expenditure, including the land purchase, of approximately $10.000.000. Division of the project, which will ultimately include a total of 30 units, into two stages of construction is due to the fact that all the funds required will not be available at one time. Under the terms of the United States housing act, $500,000,000 1S available over a three-year period. So far $300,000,000 has been set aside, the balance to be allotted July 1, 1939.

Of the first $30,000.000 allocated to New York State, $18.000.000 has been earmarked for New York City. Project in Queens This sum will be spent on the Red Hook area and the Queens Bridge project, to be located north of the Queens Borough Bridge, diagonally across the East River from Sutton Place, Manhattan. The site of the proposed Red Hook development is adjacent to the Red Hook Park and the Red Hook Playground. Approximately 40 acres of land to the south of the project is now being developed by the Park Department. Purchase of the land, options for 60 percent of which the Authority has obtained, will begin as soon as formal approval of the project is received from Washington.

Commissioner Rheinstein explained that over half of the area is vacant land at the present time, and that with exception of several industrial plants and a row of dwellings which, he said, in all probality will not be disturbed the other buildings on the proposed site are old. At present the population of the area is only about 3,000, according to the commissioner's estimate, and is equivalent to a population density of about 60 per acre, an unusually low figure as population densities in New York go. Low Rents Are Seen Hope that the rents in the new project may be reduced to fall between $4.75 and $7.50 per room per month were expressed by Mr. Rheinstein. This would be less, he said, than the prevailing rental at the Williamsburg and Harlem projects, built before the new housing law was enacted.

The first 12 buildings, to 1,300 families, will be located on the northerly and easterly fringe of the development. This space is now vacant except for one plant, Movement into the new buildings will be gradual to eliminate dislocation of population in the area. The buildings, Mr. Rheinstein said. will be of steel and masonry.

Apartments will be furnished with electrical refrigerators, gas ranges, clothes dryers and kitchen cabinets. Low cost will be attained by simplicity of plan and straight line struction. "The prime purpose," the commissioner said, "is to achieve cheapness of rent and at the same time make the accommodations safe and cent." Near City Subway Discussing the selection of the site, commissioner pointed out that the Independent subway line runs close to its easterly boundary, providing convenient transportation facilities to many sections of Brook- Preview of Red Hook Housing Project RED ROCK NEW HOUSES As the proposed $19,000,000 low-rental housing develop- to an architect's perspective prepared by the Red Hook Assoment in the Red Hook section, which will provide dwellings ciated Architects under the direction of Alfred Easton Poor. for over 12,000 persons, will look when completed, according Work will begin shortly after June 1. lyn, Queens and Manhattan.

The Baltimore woman, who in June celebrates the first anniversary of her marriage to former King Edward, was the unanimous choice for head of a list of ten internationally known socialites, who were chosen not for beauty alone but for taste and individuality. The rankings were: 1. The Duchess of Windsor. 2. The Duchess of Kent.

Wears Diamond Tiara The Duchess of Windsor celebrated her second triumph by appearing at the farewell reception for American Ambassador William C. Bullitt in a simple white crepe, square -necked and barely decollete gown. It barely skimmed the floor with straight paneled folds. The dress was trimmed with only two bands of gold embroidery, which started at the waistline and came down in a curve over her hips. She wore a tiara of diamonds and emeralds, the most recent gift of the Duke and considered one of the finest pieces of modern jewelry seen in Paris in recent years.

A thin strand of diamonds and emeralds at her throat completed her costume. Duchess of Kent Likes Black Black is one of the favorite colors of the Duchess of Kent and her clothes are always simply tailored even for evening. She likes to offset this simplicity with brilliant accessories, like jeweled handbags, and she favors that are large and -crowned. Begum Aga Khan, the former French milliner, who was married to the wealthy Indian Prince, moves up from sixth place, which she was accorded last year, to place, chiefly because of the jewels which set off her clothes. Of medium height and slender, she enhances her brown eyes and hair with brown clothes although she sometimes wears dead white or black or a brilliant green.

Her pearls and other jewels are among the most famous in the world and she loves furs. Mrs. Harrison Williams, No. 7, 1s the wife of a Manhattan broker and has a summer home at Bayville, I. The Hon.

The most popular novel for most of the year was Kenneth Roberts' "Northwest Passage." Its place as leader was taken at the end of 1937, however, by A. J. Cronin's "'The Citadel." In non-fiction the library's "best seller" was Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People." The report declares that special attention was given to the children's department. Particular care was given in the reference-division where juveniles came for information. Questions asked the librarians, it was reported, included such difficult ones as "What do frogs eat?" "How can I teach my dog tricks?" and one concerning the origin of Santa Claus.

The library registration for 1937 was 63,212, an increase of 2,853 over the year before. Circulation jumped 83,656 over the 1936 figure to 052. The total number of volumes in the on Dec. 31 was 629,662 as against 584,963 in 1936. library, Mr.

All this and a certain gracefulness and poise were conveyed by Huapala in authoritative presentations, costumes and stage props, even going so far as to have the vines and the leaves of a hula skirt brought fresh by means of the China Clipper. So far is this native expression from the sophistication of New York that its appeal may be definitely limited, but there is no doubt that these artists can beguile even the most hard-boiled audience if given the opportunity and several pointers on showmanship. By the middle of the second group of songs and dances atmosphere was succesfully projected.

Assuming masculine roles in second portion of the program, the youthful Korean danced with a vigor and alertness which had not been used before. Especially well received was the "Korean Vagabond," which Miss Shoki appeared in a grotesque mask and completely captivated her audience by the wit and imagination with which this dainty feminine creature So convincingly depicted the besotted hooliganism of a drunken coolie.
