Foundry Church Location.
No decision has been reached by the quar-
terly conference of the Foundry NJ. E.
Church in regard to the question of the Sc
lection of site for the location of the pro-
posed church edfice for the use of
that congregation. A large number of
eligible lots have been submitted by the
committee appointed for that purpose, but
the real difficulty seems to be to determine
as to the general location rather than the
selection of a particular site. Some of the
members are of the opinion that the new
church ought to be considerably to the
north and west of the old site, while others
are inclined to believe that location far
Their down town would be better adapted
for the work of the church and would bet
ter serve the interest of the denomination
Those in the latter class are in favor of
going no further north than n street.
Realty in Georgetown.
The most important transaction of the
week in Georgetown was effected by the
Miller Shoemaker Real Estate Company,
Mrs Elizabeth II. Renshaw transferring to
DIR. Morris w. Waters the three-story brick
business property at the northwest corner
Of Sd and o streets. The property has
frontage of 81 feet by depth of "a. The
purchaser intends to make attractive i'm
provements.
Through the agency of this company lots
in Burkets subdivision of Tenleytown were
sold this week to w. NJ Robey and Ber-
Meta Riley; three stables in the square
bounded by 31st. Sd NJ and n streets, be
longing to the Anthony Hyde estate; house
and premises 1873 33d street. to J. T. Too
mey. from Mrs. w. Cartwright; two lots
in the recently subdivided tract opposite
the Western High School. In the sale of
the Hyde property the estate was repre-
scented by P. T. Berry.
Realty is unusually active in GEORGETOWN
Through the Miller Shoemaker Company's
offices alone property aggregating in value
slJp.aoU has been transferred since Febru-
airy j. Several important deals are now
pending.
Other sales reported in Georgetown in
clude the southwest corner of Sd and r
streets to William Sherwood and the south

Ice Making Plants.
The Crystal Plate Ice Company has be-
gun the construction on the wharf opposite
its mandatory of a storehouse of 1900
tons capacity. This company has just in
creased its daily output to seventy tons
A few days ago it announced the severance
of relations with the American Ice Com
pany and will dispose of its output exclu-
slvely to retail dealers. Steps are being
taken for the Incorporation of another ice
company, with headquarters in George
town. 1t is stated however. that owing to
the time consumed in installing a plant it
will hardly be in working order before
winter.
The recent wharf fires. it is thought, will
rebound to the benefit of Georgetown, max
ing IL advisable, because of the decisions
affecting the river front for owners to re-
establish their plants on ground the title
OF which Is not vested in the government
All or the Georgetown wharf property Is
held in fee.
