If Mr.. Rockefeller wishes to buy
Briggsville as it stands he can get it
without very great outlay, but it is
a question of price and those who have

who seemed to be looking thru the coun-

cause Mr.. Rockefeller is reported to
be the Wealthiest man in America, he
is willing to pay almost any price that
may be demanded for property that he
would like to own. The owners OF
their ideas on this subject. He has want
ed property at his own price, but not at
any fancy figures, and he has taken
only such parcels as he has deemed de-
sirable
There was no place in Briggsville that
he desired as warmly as the solitary
saloon there owned by John j. Melin,
as he wished to stop the traffic in
property at the Rockefeller figures
three years ago, and he has not since
been approached on the subject; but
in the meantime the lines Of Mr.. Rookie
feller's property are being drawn closer
to his little 30 by 100 feet plot.
Mr.. Rockefeller has just bought four
additional pieces. Of property in the
meadows beyond the settlement on each
side, and he is said to have made ar
engagements for the. purchase of the
corner house adjoining the saloon, all
that remains to complete the transac-
ton being to obtain the signature Of
Abraham Levi, who is in Europe, to
the transfer papers. These latest sales
are said to involve about $4,000 and
leave little ground outside Of that

Outside Of Briggsville and to the north,
Mr.. Rockefeller has been extending his
property, having bought a place from
Jacob Smith that formed connecting

said to have in contemplation a new

He Improves Roads.
John D. Rockefeller has taken the
greatest interest in road improvements
and there are no better drives in this
country than those that wind thru his
land in the Pocantico hills. He wished
to extend a main driveway directly into
Tarrytown, but he met an obstacle when
he reached property owned by John D..
Weber, and he has abandoned the plan,
at least temporarily.

HILLS ESTATE
STORY OF THE GROWTH OF THE
VAST ROCKEFELLER ESTATE.
Briggsv1lle Now Seems Likely to Pass
Into the Hands of the Wealthy Man
Various Ideas Come to the Fore in
the Endeavor to Obtain Land, but
Not at the Owners Price.
New York Herald.


John D. Rockefeller g purchase Of
another section of the little town Of
Briggsville, adjoining his vast estate
in the Pocantico Hills, and his offers
for several other pieces Of property in
the immediate neighborhood, have re-
newed speculation about his plans for
identifying that section if he is able
to acquire all the ground at what he
deems proper price.
Briggsville is a hamlet containing
thirty or thirty two buildings, and with
a total population of possibly 200. It
is made up Of scattered frame houses
along two highways-the Sleepy Hol-
low road that at this point runs along a
hillside and lane that winds thru the
hollow itself. The site is historic, as
the road and attacked the British just
below.
Far above the highway, on the crest
Of the hill, is John D. Rockefeller, Jr. g
home, and even higher, on the next
summit, is the site where his father in
tends to rebuild his mansion: From the
eminences Briggsville spreads out below
the thick clumps of trees and between
the park and the Hudson.
While Mr.. Rockefeller has been con-
stantly extending his. domain, picking
up farm here, q country inn beyond
and residence adjoining, he has never
lost track of the advantage to his site
Of wiping out Briggsville, which is at
the bend Of the main road leading from
Tarrytown to his estate. He expressed
the landscape perfect the hollow should
be converted into a vast lake, sur
rounded by trees and covered with
waterfowl.
