4 NEW KIND OF BOOMER.
New York Overrun With Spectators
Who Want to Make Fortunes Out
Of thu Words Fair.

New York Overrun With Spectators
Who Want to Make Fortunes Out
Of ths Worlds Fair.
CCopUt9ht 1897
New YORK, Aug. 3l.-The "site
boomer" is a new industry. in New
York which has been called into exis-
tencs by the worlds fair project. The
boomer is Gel. Sellers, but in much big
ger way than the famous original.
Ever sincs the fair PROJECT became an
accepted fact, scores of land spectators
have been quitting their heads together for
the purpose of making all the money posi-
lie out of it. These men hold options on
half the unimproved property in the sub
urns. This wild and dIstracting species of
speculatio has produced an uneasy feeling
in real estate circles, and although it is
certain to be ephemeral and short lived, it
is calculated to do a great deal of damage.
Boomers have captured large sections of
land in the vicinity of Pot Nor is, River
side park, Fordnam other localities in
the upper part of Manhattan island, and
are waiting, rs fox watches hen roost,
to see what will he done by the com nittae
on site. That committee is composed of
about a dozen of the leading citizens; but
it has been hintsd that there are some
members who are not on the committee for
nothing, ID that it will be very remark
,bls thing if big money isn't made by
somebody when the fair site is Fl ally Sc
lected. All sorts of influences are brought
to bsar on the committee to secure the
choice of this or that loo lti IN.
H IF d)zel syndic ties and pools have
bsen formed by the wealthier boomers
and options have ueen taken on many
hundreds Of acres of available land, that
having a water frontage being the most
desirable. Ole rool has taken optic IS, it IS
said, o no less than three different sites in
the hope that one Of the number will be
chosen, in which event they Will not only
clear their options on the others, but make
handsome profit be ides.
Meanwhile the officials and the tax
payers are powerless to stop this species Of
speculation. Ultima ely the taxp yers
will, of course, have to pay the piper; for
the price Of the land held by boomers will
be something excessive when purchase is
talked of. If a v te were to be taken, the
probability is that Central park wo Id he
selected; but there is a very general feeling
that the park should not be perna emily
occupied as fair grounds Besides. it
| belongs to the city, and as its selection
| would mean tho disc omflture Of the boom
s. there is little doubt that all possible
influence will be used to prevent it from
| being taksn.
Fifteen million dollars will be used in the
purchase of a site id the erection of build
| ings very SIN III por5i n of this amount
| has been subscribed thus far, but it is ex-
pected t6at as ION as thu site is definitely
settled the money will roll in by the mil
| lion.

honor. How soy asked Booth, slightly
