(From "T*e Post's" Representative.) NEW YOBK, 17th April. A culture village, in which no man <*r woman will be admited to live who «j«nriot show a college diploma, is being greeted on the Balisades, opposite Washington Heights. Already a thousand families of doctors, professors, teachers, and professional men have signified their intention of dwelling there. The ySlage will cost £4,000,000 to erect. Tie scheme was initiated by the University Homes Association, which sent out a questionnaire to 100,000 families the cultured class in the metropolis district, to learn what type of home they needed, and what they could afford to pay. The homes will range in cost between £1800 and £2200. The first I group of houses will be of old English j srehitectural design. Nine out of ten persons here live in Suites, according to records of the Borough of Manhatten. There has been an *sceptional demand for roof apartments &nd maisonette duplex suites, with priJ»te entrances. Another feature of SFew York life is the garowing unpopu.Jswi'fcy of th« tenement.
