MANHATTAN HAS A
REAL ESTATE TRUST
Scarcely 5000 People Hold
All the Land There and
in the Bronx.
NUMBER GROWS SMALLER
1t Has Decreased From $4,000 Eight
Years Ago and Great Interests
Are Constantly inereas-
ing Holdings.

New York, May 28.-There are now
scarcely $4,000 Individual owners of real
property in Manhattan and the Bronx,
against $4,000 eight years ago. The
small holder is selling out and syndi-
Gates. banks and insurance companies
are becoming the great landlords of the
city. This remarkable decrease of hold
!ngs is vouched for by lsidor Freid of
the contracting firm of Haas & Freid.
He recently compiled lists of the own
srs OF Manhattan and the Bronx es-
tates and compared them with lists
compiled by the firm in 1895.
The number is decreasing every
year," said MIR. Freid, and the reason,
IS obvious. In Manhattan the large of /
ice buildings and hotels and apart
nent houses absorb a number of lots
formerly held by individual owners and
bring them under one landlord Great
improvements also wipe out the indi-
yidual landowners. Whenever park
S laid out it sweeps out hundred at
time. The Pennsylvania railroad pur-
chase of land for its terminal wiped
out 100 individual owners. The New
York Central and the street railroads
are great land absorbers.
Holdings Are Large.
Where the land was formerly owned
n lots of twenty-five feet front, it is
| low owned in lots of fifty and 100. 1t
loes not pay to put up building now
ldays on less than fifty feet frontage.
The small holder is selling out, and
iyndicates, banks and insurance COM
panies are becoming the great land
ords of the city.
"The Astors still hold the suprema-
