PERTH AMBOY'S REAL
ESTATE BOOM, PAST AND
PRESENT, UNSURPASSED
ANYWHERE IN NEW JERSEY

city is dated from the time the Lchigh
Valley Railroad brought its coal
DOCKS TO this city, SO the real estate
boom goes back to that period. The
railroad company broke up many
farms, splitting them and, in some
instances buying the whole tract.
Then. as the employees began to come
here, the land began to sell and
building lots were surveyed and
houses began TO be built on some of
the fields.
Beyond the Lchigh Valley was the
Forbes tract, where a cement factory
was located. Henry Maurcr bought
up that tract and built his large clay
works there.
Some of the properties which have
been placed in the real estate market
since the Lehigh Valley Railroad
came here are the Arnold tract; A.
Hall tract, Parke tract, where the
docks are now the James Chapman
tract in the vicinity of Woodbridge
road The Elizabeth Paterson tract,
where the library now stands. This
same man also placed the Ramsay
tract, from High street to the sound
in the market. There was the St.
Peters Church property, in State
street; the Alfred Hall property, in
the same thoroughfare; and the
Boggs property. The Peck land was
sold, the William Watson lands, the
Fothergill tract where the dry docks
now are, including the lots now in the
possession of Edward r. Pierce.
There was the Arnold tract on the
South of Smith street, the George
Buchanan property between Smith
and Market streets; the DR.. Smith
property, John r. W~atson's tract,
where the Copper Works o are
located. There was the tract popu-
larly known as "Jackass Farm"
owned by Cortlandt Parker the
Eagleswood tract; Brighton House
property, which has but recently
been opened the William Paterson
Perth Amboy evening news., 1904-07-14

The history Of real estate in Perth
Amboy 4 be traced down through
a series .ot development Of different
tracts, each belonging to a single
estate, ono by II they have been
cut MplntoJlots and placed upon the
market. &omc Of these tracts sold for
about $500 my years ago. Today
a single twenty rive f)ot lot of the
same tract will bring, in many in
stances, three times that amount.
1t is thie ownership of large tracts
by individuals in different parts of
the city that has, 70 some extent, pre-
vented the more rapid growth Of the
city, and has been the direct cause
of the place being settled only in
spots, while large vacant fields oc-
cupy some of the most central por-
tons of the city. This is now rapidly
being changed and, within the last
two or three years, streets have been
Acp' through and block after block of
,es arc being erected.
! paid the owners to hold fast to
t,eir land and allow it to remain un-
developed, even though it was a
ldrance to the progress of the city.
!. F., land was taxed only as a farm,
h ttreets being laid out through the
tracfsctN while the taxes were low,
the llue of the land continued to
mount higher and higher every year.
One Of the most striking examples
Of this was in what was known as the
Paterson tract, lying between the
Central Railroad, Smith street and
wv Brunswick avenue. For years
This remained as one large field and
was taxed as n parcel, being I'M
'veloped. The tax was extremely
". Just across the street, on Smith
ect, a twenty-five foot lot was
selling at from $500 to $1,000. To
day a twenty-five foot lot along the
Smith street frontage of the Paterson
tract is selling for $4,000.
AS the industrial awakening of the
Perth Amboy evening news., 1904-07-14

very desirable tract, which was
sub.divided into n hundred and
eight lots, all of which were sold
within a week, which goes to prove
Messrs. Judge & Kamm know
when to buy bargains and sell
property rapidly. They are now
negotiating for an adjoining tract
to the above. Their operations in
this city have proven very success
full and the purchasers realized
handsome profits from their invest
ments. April Ist, 1903 they sub
divided the Hatch farm (Which
had been in that family for the
past sixty-fve years. into five hun
dred and seventy-one lots, and is
now known as Perth Amboy
Heights, a most beautiful location,
the property being in the Western
section of the city, on the old road
leading to New Brunswick, ormorc
commonly known as "Hatch's
road" The situation is the high
est in the city and adjoins the City
Reservoir site, on which they are
to commence work this Fall Goo4).
They are selling these lots from
thirty-three dollars up to one hun
dred and twenty-thrce dollars, on
terms of five dollars down and
then from two to three dollars a
month, or ten per cent. discount if
all cash is paid. Should any per
son who purchases a lot or more,
through sickness or lack of employ
ment, be unable to make their
monthly payments, these gentle
men are free-hearted and Chart
able. They do not ask you to pay
until you are well, or secure
employment, and then only expect
you to make your monthly pay
ments as usual without charging
anything for the interim of non

property the Appleby estate, which
was scattered in all parts Of the city +;
the Kearny tract, from High street
to Brighton Avenue, north of Gordon
street; the Manning property, from
High street to Brighton avenue, and
the old S~parkman property. The
tract known as the Land Company is
still largely vacant, but is now fast
building up.
There has been no spasmodic
jumps in the value of these tracts;
but the price of lots has continually
moved upward. The increase has
been regular and the present prices
can be considered rock bottom. AS
an example of this increase, four lots
at State and Fayctte streets, were
sold thirty years ago for $500, or
SIPS each. Today the lots are worth
$4,000. Lots along State street,
where the Post Office Building now
stands, sold for $500 each thirty
yeors ago.
Today real estate is rs active, if
not more SO, than ever Def ore. This
is because of the growth of the city:
the location of new factories here
all the time bringing with them more
men with families. The upply Of
houses with rent from SI2to to SIS
a month cannot begin to meet the dc
mand. Every day real estate men
turn people away. One of the great
est needs of Perth Amboy is the
erection of block after block of either
one, two or thrce-family houses.
There is plenty of vacant land for
such dwellings and the investment
would be excellent.
AS a practical example, a solid
block in one OF the best sections of
the city, south of Smith street, was
offered for sale recently for $4,000.
This consisted of eleven twenty-five
foot lots. A row Of two family
houses, according to a well-known
builder in this city, could be erected
on this block for $4,000. Add to
this the cost of the lot and the in
vestment would be $4,000. These
two family houses could be rented
easily at $40 a floor, or $40 a house.
This would be an income of SEQ
per month, or $4,000 a year, which is
$40 more than 10 per cent. on the
Investment. The fact that there is
such an increasing demand for houses
of this character makes the invest
ment a safe one, and there is room
for plenty of the same kind.
The cut here shown is a three
family double house being erected in
State street, near Market, by Jens K.
Jensen. Every floor is complete in
itself, and also has dumb walters and
speaking tubes. These flats are the
first of their kind in Perth Amboy.
They will command a good rent and
will never be vacant. More of the
same kind are bound to follow.

started in business in 1892 with a
prominent New York firm, who
also had a branch Office in Pater-
son, where, as we'll rs in New
York, he made many sales and
changes of real estate property.
BY his shrcwdncss and ability he
quickly proved a valuable man to
the firm and they showed their APP
probation of his services, after a
number of months gave him full
charge as manager of the Paterson
Office, which position he filed well.
In 1897 he was called to a higher
position in the New York Office.
Mr.. Kamm has been a resident Of
MiddleseX County since 1899, and
resided in Perth Amboy for the
past three years, His courteous
ncss and truthlulness in business
is acknowledged by all. Although
he is young in years, in business
has had a long and remarkably
successful career.
Robert p. Judge was born in
New York City and at the age Of
three years moved with his father
to Auburn, N. Y. His early cdu-
cation was received in the old
Auburn Academy. When twenty
years of age Mr.. Judge was taken
in partnership in the real estate
and building business by his
father. In 1887 he moved TO
Newark, establishing a building
business, until 1899. Since that
time has followed the suburban
real estate line exclusively and re-
markably successfully Since the
year of 1887. Mr.. Judge resided
five years in Newark, N. j.; seven
years in Brooklyn, N. Y; and
four years in Middlesex County
N. J.. Now making his home at
South River, N. ].

JUDGE & KAMM
Real Estate and Investment
Promoters

Never in the history of any town
has a larger business been built up
in so short a time than that of Judge
& Kamm, the Real Estate Invest
ors and Promoters, with Offices on
Smith street. AS recently as 1899
this enterprising firm started in
business, and this city owes much
to their forethought and ability
for its large population and hand
some residences. During this
short period of time, only five
years, they have made many large
sales in various places near this
city. At South River, N. j.,
which has a beautiful frontage on
the South River; and which is
only eight miles from this city,
they were successful in disposing
of two subdivisions, one compris-
ing two hundred and fifty lots, just
across the borough line, upon
which several handsome cottages
have been built, and the other,
comprising eighty lots, is located
in a well built.up section.
AT Carteret, N. J., a town which
is only six miles from this city,
these enterprising gentlemen saw
a chance for an excellent invest
ment. The location fronts or the
Staten Island Sound. The people
of Carteret are widely known for
their progressiveness. They Sc
cured two subdivisions adjoining
aech other, which in a short time
they sold to people living in this
city and Carteret. Last year dur
ing the month of June, they oper-
ated at Burlington, N. j., were ex-
ceedingly fortunate in securing a

A Word for the oyster.

The following article is from thu
London Lancet, the leading medica
journal. 1t says;
"Oys,ers fill an important place
in special dletel1cs, apart altogether
from their extreme delicacy and
peculiarly appetizing favor. One
half Of the raw crushed oyster is
soluble IN water, yielding liquid
hardly distinguishable from good
tea, and containing an important
amount of album,ns. The oyster
comprises all classes of food sub.
stances - proteid, carbohydrates,
fat, and certain valuable salts.
These substances exist IN a pecu
llarly assim,Iable form, among
them being uncoagulated albu-
MINIS and organic phosphorus com.
pounds in large proportion. The
solid food constituents are nearly
equal to good beef or mutton"
This should satisfy the most
skept,cal, as the Lancet is recog.
nized as an authority throughout
the world.

Some years ago learned col.
lege president wrote a book to
prove that the Garden Of Eden
was located at the North Pole. He
must have written it for a past
time. as he had plenty of more lm-
portanl matters to occupy his time,
and it Is really a very enter.
ing volume, filled as It is with
much quaint and long.forgotten
lore. But the college president
has a rival IN the form Of an Iowa
politician who alleges his d,scov'
cry that the Garden of Eden wae
located within the limits of what
is now known as Iowa He Is no,
as scientific as the college presi'
dent, but be is none the less assur
ed. Still, wherever the Garden ol
Eden may have been once, assur
edly it Is not now either IN Iowa Of
at the North Pole.
