BRONX REALTY BOOM,
Coming Year to DeUeJop Great
Building ActiUity, 1t Is SAID.

It was stated in The Tribune Of last Thursday
that many stories being told by real estate
men about sums lost by certain little spectators
number of real estate men have asked that they
be quoted saying that not only has the Bronx
purchasing movement not ceased but that it will
become more vigorous in the future. They de-
clare It is a movement in which the smallest and
largest operators. spectators and builders have
made profitable deals. Only a few small specula-
tors have been hit. they say.
Some spectators. however with a capital of from
81 COO to 5000 have tried buy and quickly resell
parcels valued at from 100000 upward. and. from
what can be learned. they have lost the put
up by them on signing contracts. As to the num-
her of such spectators there appears to be wide
difference of opinion. Some brokers say these spec
ulators number every thousand successful
spectators and according to other brokers. there
are from five to such spectators in every hun
dred fortunate realty buyers and sellers.
letter from the real estate firm OF L. j. Phillips
& Co says
1t would he folly for any rational say
that no one lost money in The Bronx: the other
hand. IL is extremely ridiculous to make the state
mert that, because one or two men have lost, II
was boom and that the boom has petered out.
The coming year will probably develop the largest
activity in building in The Bronx that that section

increase in the population, hundreds of buildings

IDEAL COMMISSIONER.
Roosevelt the One, Says L. j. Grant
TO Committee of Nine.

Tae Committee Of Nine had another meeting
yesterday. Isaac n. SeIigman presiding in the alb
sence of the chairman. Austen 9. Fox, who is
still i'll. 1t was made known after the meeting
that the committee would invite the Rev. Dr.
Charles H. Parkhurst 10 appear before it and
give his views the police situation. The COM
nittee. it was further announced, would meet
again Monday and every day till Thursday.
The Rev. Thomas R. Slicer was before the COM
nittee yesterday. Afterward he said:
spoke mostly on the conditions that surround
the doormen. whose work is at times beyond
human endurance. I urged that some provision
should be made that would allow the doormen
after certain period to be eligible for the position
I also urged the advisability Of continuing the
three platoon system. With loo more policemen
there is no doubt that the system would be almost
perfect
Louis J. Grant, the lawyer who has appeared for
the defence in many police trials held up to the
committee President Roosevelt the ideal Police
Commissioner. He declared that an honest man
who had seen service in the ranks and knew the
ropes would be the best. Mr.. Grant also declared
afterward
I told the committee that it would be detrimental
70 the interests of the department to take the
right or appeal from dismissal through the courts.
the courts Will not interfere with the judgment OF
the Commissioner unless there has been some
fragrant violation Of the law of evidence.
The proposition of putting the power of removal
in the hands or one man. held. was dangerous.
One trouble with the Commissioner from civil life.
said. was that he comes TO the place compare
lively ignorant Of the department l said that l
thought Commissioner McAdoo trying to do the
best ne could but that he greatly handicapped.
He is handicapped for one reason by the fact that
though the Commissioners himself is the one who
makes the dismissals.
