WALTER KRASLOW PLANS MANY NEW PROJECTS IN BORO Weil-known Operator Completing Developments Involving $1,000,000. Of Interest In the development market about Brooklyn are the operations of Walter Kraslow, the well-known operator In apartments and home building, recently. It Is understood the builder Is planning several more developments In the boro that will surpass any of his past operations. Several of the projects of Mr, Kraslow, now on the market, are: The development of 40 pne-famlly dwellings, now almost completed, in the Sheepshead Hay tract, sold recently by Joseph P. Day.

The builder hus more than $400,000 Involved In this group of homes. He is also building the entire block front on 7th ave. between 47th und 48th a group of 14 stores with apartments for 80 families, now about finished. This project will total In the neighborhood of $600,000. An apartment of four stories at 811 62d Bay Itlilge, accommodating 20 families, that rents for $12 a room, recently built by Mr.

run- low, has attracted considerable attention among real estate opera, tors. There Is only one other apartment in the boro, Mr. Kraslow says, with similar accommodations renting at this figure. Another of his developments in low rents Is that completed two years ago on Prospect ave. at 8th accommodating some 60 families, at $10 a room.

Here Mr. Kraslow has five buildings. He Is building also on E. 16th st. a four-story, 40-family apartment building, which will represent a figure in the neighborhood of $265,000.

In the $850,000 building project he Is completing along No.iirund on the blockfront between Msrtensa st. and Linden Mr Kraslow already has rented the greater number of the 84 apartments above and elcht of 14 stores. Here his rent of 318 per room Is surprising, as owners of many build ings going up and finished In the neighborhood are asking from $22 to $25 a room.

1 The Fox Lane Corporation, headed by Kdgar Klllnger, one of the owners of the Hotel Langham, yesterday announced the immediate erection of the Fox Lane Apartment Building at the northeast corner of Lin coln ave. and Bowne Flushing. S. W. Straus tt Co.

have under written an Issue of $775,000 first mortgage 614 percent serial coupon bonds of the Fox I-iine Corporation, secured by the land and building. The Fox Lane will contain 125 housekeeping suites of frnn. 2 to rooms. The 4. and 6-ronm suites will have wood burning fireplaces and the entire house will be supplied with automatlo refrlxerallun and other conveniences.

There will be ball room on the main floor and the roof will contain a large garden. The building Is of shape with large, open court on Lincoln ave. where the property has a frontage of 267 feet extending 135 feet on Howne st. All suites facing the court will have southern exposure. The Immediate neighborhood Is one of the most historic and pie-ttireaoue spots In Western Ixmg Island.

The Howne family has controlled the land for hundreds of years. The Bowne house (built In 1661) adjoins the sltn of the Fox Lnne. It Is now occupied by Hubert K. Parsons and his slstors, all of whom are descendants nf John Bowne. The house contains the original furniture used by the pre-Revolutionary Quakers, who settled the community and entertained George Fox, who followed the Pilgrim Fathers 27 yesis after they landed at Plymouth Hock, who came to America to spread the Quaker faith.

The new house takes Its name from this early preacher snd teacher. The architecture Is colonial, dealsned by Koaarle Canilelln. The new development will cost bout $1,600,000. Klllnger plans to make the Fox Lane one of the finest residential houses he has built during his quarter of a century of building activity In and around New Vuik. If KU 'JI Wa.

Co Forward. With the settlement of the brick-, layers and plasterers differences at Atlantic. City late last week peace Is now restored In the construction Industry and general contractors and operative owners'are preparing plans for a busy winter, says the Record and Guide. The trouble, which has been of many years' duration, was brought about through the Intervention of William J. Green, new President of the American Federation of Labor and Is his first victory in the labor fieid.

The announcement that the 'two unions had become reconcile! and would submit their disputes to arbitration and abide by the findings of a special tribunal was the cause of much rejoicing In all lines of the building Industry from the workmen to the material manufacturers. Millions of dollars' worth of new operations were tied un, throughout the United States and In New York alone it Is estimated that at least $25,000,000 worth of work was seriously Impeded. Builders now are arranging their progress schedules along definite dates for 'completion, whereas for the past four months the completion of a project was problematical as far as original estimates for furnlsn-lng the Job were concerned. Material manufacturers, particularly the brick men, were hard hit the strike throughout the country and with the resumption of work on all contracts a new impetus will be given to the material markets. The vast amount of construction contemplated' and awarded in the past year will make 1925 the record breaker for probably many years to come and the absence of strikes will bring about a period of activity this fall, winter and next spring that will undoubtedly never be equalled in the annals of the Industry.

v- In the material markets generally price fluctuations have not been conspicuous during the past month. Advances were ellghtly in excess of declines, but this is due to the great amount of work being let and about to be awarded. Bteel pipe mills are running close to capacity with an upward trend In cast Iron pipe; there has been no change In sand, gravel and crushed stone prices; Portland cement Is stable with some fluctuations in lump lime quotations; common brick has registered but few signs of instability; it is believed that the coal strike will affect the brick market here If continued for any length of time and cause a rise In price; the hollow tile market Is showing a slight downward tendency. The flnlshea steel industry Is steady with no tendency to advance; lumber production, shipments and new business are Increasing weekly. The iron and steel scrup mnrkets sre dull.

Holler rivets and Unseed oil have declined, msnlla rope andl Mark steel sheets have advanced! little and wire nails are firmer at tho mills. The genoral Indication is that manufacturers will not ralMS their present quotations during the winter on account of the strong markets and the blg'volume ef construction work under way planned. TO DREDGE AND FILL ON BARNUM ISLAND Contracts were signed yesterday by Island Tark-Long lleuch. with tbo Company for filling 200 acres on Burn urn Island, near Long Beach, with 2,000,000 cublo yards of sand.

To get the necessary snnd, two enormouns lagoons, each shout 3.000 feet long, will be dredged.

QUEENS VALUES TO INCREASE--CUSHMAN Population Growth Requires 10,000 New Homes, Broker Says. By ARTHUR CCKHMAV. Prtetdrnt Attested Knalty Corporal ka. It Is undoubtedly true that lor some time there has been a tendency on the part of some of the publlo interested In buying homes to fuel that there was a possibility of prices declining to a general lower level due to an Idea that building costs might become less. A careful survey, however, of the situation will convince any fair-minded persln that there Is no foundation for such a theory.

The Boro of Queens Is Increasing In population at the rate of more than 100,000 Inhabitants pet1 year and will continue to do so. At the lowest estimate It will require ths erection of 10.000 homes. In as re stricted an urea as Queens County this means a substantial Increase In land values based on the Immutable law of supply and demunij. The Fourth Wurd boro showed the greatnst Increase In population last year and seems likely to repent this year. A survey of the situation will show that there are more homes being built than ever before and we believe that sales are In excess o' those of tho past year.

The hnmeseeker who Is delaying the purrhaso of a home looking forward to better pi ices Is manlfosslv In for bitter disappointment. New homes which sold a year ago for $5,000 are bringing today on resales from $i00 to In Increased prices. Although It Is unquestionably difficult for any person on the ground to vision the opportunities of the future, there Is absolutely no reasonable doubt that Queens, and particularly Jamaica and its environs, are In for unusual In land values due ta the rapidly diminishing supply of lots, plots and acreage necessary to meet the demand of builders for the erection of homes. As the new rapid transit plans develop more definitely, values will Increase still more rapidly and decidedly out of proportion to supply and demand, which Is now sulliclent to bring substantial monthly incrc n. A factor which will have a wide Influence Is the fact that the professions! operator has not yet entered substantially Into operations In Queens.

When the new subways sre definitely decided upon ho will soon come Into this Held, nnd no one can forecast tho rise In land values whon he bus entered the field actively. new sIlkIndustry building finished The new Madison-Belmont building, on the southeast corner of Madison ave, and 34th Manhattan, a part ot the plan of Robert M.

Some months bko Mr. t'ntls proceeded to acquire property upon which old, nut-of-dat dwellings and stores slood, for silk renter, snd the new Msdlaon-Heimont building arose on the site where rather unimpressive, 4-story buildings have stuod for years. inarched forward during September to the extent that ten leading muH nlctpalltlea issued permits for 101.4 percent more new construe-toln than was authorized In September, 1924, according to a survey prepared for Leverett S.

Miller, president of the New York, Westchester and Boston Railway. Permits issued last month by the ten municipalities aggregated as compared with 13. 221, SOS Issued In September last year, and with I3.H7,27 In August. 1925. In seven of the communities, which were the only ones that kept permanent records, permits Issued during the first nine months of the current year went J6.J percent over the total for the same period last year.

The nine-month aggregate In was MS. 9117,240, and in 1924 was 481. In the survey; covering September only, Peeksklll made a 1776 percent gnln over September, 1924, but an even $600,000 of this was represented by one permit, the Mount St. Gabriel School. With this Item eliminated.

Peeksklll still registered a 107.1 gain. Bronxvllle also was a big gainer in the September survey, with 413.9 percent; Mt. Vernon, 375; Harrison, 344 Scarsdale, 203.4; New Rochelln, 67.7; Yonkers, 67.3, and White Plains, 4J.E. In the nine-month survey Brnnx-vllle showed the greatest percentage of gain, with tl.l percent; Scarsdnle. 49.4 percent; White Plains, 4.4; Yonkers.

42.3: Mount Vernon, 11.3, and New Rochelle, 6.3 percent. Lsrchniont. with a loss of 27.1 percent, was the only one of the seven to fall behind Its 1324 total. There Is every Indication tluit the phenomenal building activity enjoyed by Westchester during most of the past year will continue on sn unprecedented scale throughout the winter, In the opinion of Mr, Miller. He considered It noteworthy thnt considerable of the-Heptember building permits were for construction In less heavily settled sections of the county.
