REAL ESTATE NEWS.
What Our Sistsr City Thinks Of
Jerseys Future.
From the Brooklyn Eagle Of Yesterday.

Title Guarantee and Trust Company, in
speaking, made some important remarks
in connection with New Jersey real es-
tate which must interest our local agents
and those interested in real estate. He
said:-"New York is a centre from which
Brooklyn naturally expects to draw
many people. Thousands of people go
to New York every year from all parts of
the country to do business. Most of
these people in time drift to Brooklyn
or New Jersey, according as their fancy
takes them or they are attracted by the
inducements held out in the way of quick
and convenient communication Brook
lyn is fast reaching the stage where
the means of communication with New
York will ave reached their limit. This
being the case, and with no prospects of
increase in sight, the tide of new blood
will set in toward New Jersey, where the
settlements that are springing into life
are controlled by men who are alive to
every point and who lose no opportunity
of taking advantage of any criticism that
is offered on Brooklyn property. With
the lately acquired territory Brooklyn
presents the most attractive opportunity
for investment and settlement that can
be found anywhere and as long as the
means Of quick and direct communication
with New York can be kept ahead or
even equal to the demand Just SO long
II IAS IN u tS

York City he says:-"The greater and
more direct the facilities that are at
forded the people for reaching New York
City the greater will be the development
Of a city, and as soon as the present
channels of communication are taxed to
their capacity just SO soon will the de-

Then as to matters affecting real es-
''But I regard some other improvements
of greater Importance than that 9ust
now. The water question SHOULD first
When the city is assured for all time
of a supply of water that will not only
be pure, but sufficient in quantity to
meet the demands of the population, It
will have acquired something that Will
be of inestimable value. This ques-
ton has reached a stage where 1t has
become one of demand, and the author
tiles cannot study the interests of
the city better than to devote their ener-
gies to its solution. The COMMISSIONS
of City Works has taken the matter IN
hand with a degree of earnestness that is
r~eassuring, but the work must not stop
with the addition of a few million gal
Ions to the daily supply, an addition that,
as the city is growing, Will soon be met
with a still greater demand. The effect
that this question has upon real estate
may be illustrated in the matter Of j in

900 worth of property in Brooklyn on
which insurance is carried. The aver
age rate for carrying this is, we Will
say, 20 cents per thousand. This means
the payment of $500, 900 a year in prem
iums. Surprising the water supply
should prove inadequate to afford pro-
the insurance companies would do would
be to raise the rate. Say they raised 1t
to % cents per thousand; That would
mean an additional 100000 to come out

a sum equal to four per cent. on $780,
900 worth of bonds. Where is the econ
ony in having to meet this increase,
rather than eXpend the money necessary
to secure an adequate supply of water-a
supply that, proving equal to all demands
and more, would soon bring about a low
ering of the rates for insurance.
