RENTING SEASON FOR FALL MOVING NOW AT HEIGHT Call for High Class Apart ment Suites Shows Activity, Says Downtown Broker. The renting season in so far as it applies to the high class apart ment houses here is now at its height, in the opinion of 'W.

Nemerov of Nemerov Si Nemerov, managing and renting agents oi many of the boro's large apartments. Mr. Nemerov expressed his belief that more leases will be made-dur-lng the next few Weeks than In the corresponding period of any previous year and that tne early summer business might' even surpass the customary rush season of Septem ber. "I have made a eareful survey of the renting situation," he said, "and it would seem to me that the out look is unusually promising. Particularly does this apply to the apartment houses of the type of Turner Towers at 135 Eastern Park' way.

There, for instance, the aver age number oi daily prospects specting the available suites lndi cates a much greater general inter est at this time of the year than heretofore. "I attribute this condition to the fact that the class of patronage to which Turner Towers caters real izes the comparatively small field of apartments of like standard and consequently desires to make a choice while a variety of vacancies exists. "Then, too, the summer problem is important. Most folks who are contemplating' a change of residence In the fall and who are planning to spend the hot months out of the city are anxious to complete neio tiatlons before going away so as to avoid the worry, and uncertainty which might somewhat spoil as otherwise pleasant vacation," SCARSDALE DEALS.

McGolrick who is developing his estate, Oakbrook, at Nanuet, N. Y. Local residents are daily viewing the progress qt work being done by numerous tractors, graders, steam shovels and other equipment at Oakbrook, The lake on the premises is being enlarged and special provisions will be made for children by setting aside a shallow pool for their exclusive use. Oakbrook was formerly the private estate of Charles Nessler, but for the past few years has been owned and occupied by Mr. McGolrick.

The property consists of 35 acres with numerous buildings. There was also a deer park with a herd of 20 deer. This country is the nearest real country to New York City and is only exceeded in beauty by the Adirondacks. "A week ago a buck deer with a family of does was seen at Oakbrook," said Mr. McGolrick, who recognized the buck as -one that Jumped the fence of the deer park about six months ago.

"Deer are not the only game in Rockland County. Pheasants, partridge, pos sum, rabbits, squirrels ana even bears- have recently been seen at Oakbrook," according to the devel oper. "Fish also are found In the lake and streams, he said. The Hudson River Bridge, now being constructed at 178th will bring Rockland County within 30 minutes of New York City. Mr.

McGolrick predicts that Rockland County prices will double in value in the next year.

Bassett, president of the National Conference on City Planning and special counsel for New York City on planning legislation, emphasized before the Brooklyn Kiwanis Club at its weekly luncheon In the Leverich Towers Hotel. "City Planning" was the topic of Mr. Bassett's talk. "Going back 125 years, there were no bridges across New Jersey meadows and the natural route of travel was across Staten Island to the mainland of New Jersey," said the speaker. "I cannot recount every project, but I call to your attention some of the things that must be done to prevent traffic strangulation.

We must have over and under highway crossings, and so must Manhattan have such a system. If the Port of New York fails to operate freely It affects the economic status of the city, and equally true is that principle applied to the traffic problem."

White-painted panels set in among the tiles open amusingly and there, from a squarish one that doesn't look big enough, out poprf a whole breakfast set, consisting of a large table and two benches designed to seat four comfortably. The set is in a soft, gray wood-ash which matches the wood trim in other sections of the house, and is lots more substantial than the ordinary separate breakfast table and chairs. The table may serve during nonbreakfast hours as a work table and the benches are inviting enough to lure a woman" to sit down at those tasks which don't require standing and which offer a few off-the-feet moments-rexcept that she usually just won't bother to look around for a chair. It would make a good ironing table too, being so solid, If one was needed, which It isn't, for another panel shelters an Ironing board one without legs. Anybody who has ever ironed on the legged kind can, imagine the charm of this type.

The cabinet Is a surprising piece of furniture. The upper part is Just cupboards, though roomy ones. Below them and above the wide' table part there is the spice container, a red metal merry-go-round that holds glass Jars with tops, for pepper, salt and so on seven in all. A gentle push revolves the thing, and there's no rummaging about required. At either end there is a large metal container, one with a selve in the bottom and a crank, for sifting flour as it emerges, and the other with a little shovel and a slot arrangement at the bottom, where a stop can be made for sugar, or perhaps poffce.

The many drawers in the lower part of the affair don't lack fnr variety eithsr. Two of them, in different sizes, are lined with velvet, for the accommodation of silver. One at the bottom is lined porcelain and fitted with a ventilated slide top, for bread or cakej The pots-an-i-pins cupboards have shelve in some eas-ss, cnes In others.

Calder in Talk on Boro Housing Problem. According to former U.

S. Senator William M. Calder, president of the William M. Calder Company, builder of homes, within the next five years all of the available land for home developments In this boro will be absorbed. In discussing the boro's housing problem yesterday, Mr.

Calder said that, while in some degree in the more expensive apartments the saturization point had been reached, in the moderate priced one and two-family houses there was a real demand and particularly in the case of the well built home containing all of the modern things that tend to the comfort and happiness of the occupant. Mr. Calder referred to a situation that has not yet dawned upon the great mass of our people when he called attention to the fact that in a very short time, five years at the most, there will be very little vacant land in Brooklyn. This will result in the increased value of real estate generally. "The William M.

Calder Company," he said, "completed this spring In the Avenue and Marine Park section of Brooklyn, 310 new dwellings, 304 of which have been sold. These houses were purchased largely by Brooklyn families, men and women who love their own individual home, away trom the crowded areas, near the church and the school and the park. "Tomorrow," the builder re marked, "we invite the public to view our new and latest development at Farragut rd. and E. 42d st.

Here we have an eight-room, one-family brick dwelllrig with a two-car garage, two baths, Frigidaire, all brass water pipes, Johns Manville roof, metal weather strips, front awnings, window screens, in fact everything to make a house com fortable and attractive, which besides the city sewer is installed and the street Is paved with asphalt. On the corner in 1930 will be erected a full grade grammar school and im mediately opposite is the Farragut Athletic Club with its gigantic swimming pool and its tennis courts and miniature golf course. "May I In conclusion call attention to the recent proposal of the B. M. T.

company to operate a modern bus line through Avenue connecting with both of Brooklyn's subway systems and providing for a transfer to Utlca ave. trolley and other connecting bus lines. The OR' eration of this line, which will start In a short period, will be of tremen dous vame to this section." BUYS OSSINING PLACE. Yates Gary have sold for Mrs, Laura A. Martin her estate, known as Eventide, on Quake Bridge rd, near Osslnlng.

The property contains four and a half acres of land, extending to the Croton River. It is one of the show places In the Ossi- ning section and has been beauti fully developed with a modern resl dence of Spanish architecture. There is also a garage for three cars and stables. The purchaser is a resident of Manhattan, who has purchased the property for his own occupancy. i -A t--J 31nt st.

Keeping in mind the necessity for correlation of kindred chandise, all of the layouts and orative schemes have been made accordingly. This means that prac tically every department In the store will be moved as each floor will be designated for concentrated types of merchandise. Consequently color schemes will vary with the different floors.

A composition flooring, resembling marble, will be used on the basement and main floors. On the other floors taupe carpet will be used. The fixtures throughout the store will be of American walnut. They are simple in design, showing a modernistio Influence and feeling. Lighting facilities requiring rewiring of the whole store will be Increased by almost 50 percent.

A deviation from the uniform fixture plan will be made for the gift shop on the fifth floor, which will be a series of shops carrying a variety of merchandise. Special displays will be arranged for household lines, for chintzes and even special rooms will be set apart for the assembling of layettes, trousseaus and better dresses. Four New Escalators. Traffic facilities will be greatly Improved by the removal of the old escalator and the installation of four new escalators, running from the main floor to the third floor. These will be modern type step escalators located midway between Fulton and Livingston sts in the center of the main building.

The capacity of these escalators will be greater than that of all the present elevators combined. Congestion around the elevators and escalators on the first floor will be relieved by the removal of the aisle tables to the Bond st. side of the building. Arrangement of fix tures and displays is so designed as to give wide aisle space throughout ine store. Basement changes include the dls mantling of the present engine room and the purchase of power will enable the firm to eliminate heat in the basement.

Comfortable tem peratures both in the basement and on the street floor will be further insured bv the installation of a mod crn ventilating system. Another change is the replacement of the present basement lunchroom by a restaurant witn seating capacity ior approximately 20O persons. Mod em equipment will be part of this Installation. The new tube room, which is the consolidation and enlargement of the six tube rooms, is located in the basement. With its increased capacity the Btore Is well equipped to give additional service.

Many of these changes are al ready under way.
