TO OUR READERS The Real Estate Record and Builders Guide has had to meet three substantial advances in printing costs within the last eighteen months. During the same period the cost of paper has more than doubled, and other expenses of producing this publication have increased in proportion. Furthermore, there has been so much ac­ tivity in real estate that the records of transactions in Manhattan and the Bronx have doubled, thus doubling the cost'of producing the Records Section even had there been no increase at all in printing and paper bills. For these reasons an increase in the subscription price has become imperative. Beginning May i, ig>20, the price of the Real Estate Record and Builders Guide, including the Records Section giving the real estate records for Manhattan and the Bronx, ivill be $12.00 o year, and single issues twenty-five cents each. Only through such an adjustment will it be possible for us fo continue to serve the real estate and building interests' of Nezv York City as zve have been serving them forfifty-tzvo years and to furnish tn cninplete and accurate form the Manhattan and Bronx real estate records luhich are so essential to our patrons. The neii's and editorial section of the Record and Guide—the Metropolitan Edition—wdl be conlinucd to subscribers at the rate of $^'j.oo per year. This edition, besides giving the latest nezvs and reviezvs of the zveek s developments in the real estate and building fields, with editorial comment, carries unrecorded realty sales, leases, etc., the building materials markets and otiier important and timely real estate and budding nezvs. 502 RECORD AND GUIDE April 17, 1920 are apparently coming to recognize the necessity of on listening to the outcries of the turbulent and not passing some of the constructive measures realty men always well-informed voters.
