REAL ESTATE ACTIVE.

Despite the fact that 1t is APP
preaching mid-winter, the real estate
market still continues active. The
Princes Bay Relaty company has sold
a number of lots at Highland Park,
formerly the o. H. Barnard property,
in Amboy avenue, this place. Several
transactions have been also reported
by Agent Milliken, of the Realty
Trust Company, of their property in
Raritan Bay Park during the the past
week. Buyers are evidently purchas-
ing to get the advantage of the big
spring boom that is anticipated by
all real estate operators and the sub
sequent increasing valuations. There
has been more transactions recorded
in the county clerks Office in the past
six months from this place and the
entire fifth ward than has ever been
known, which is probably due to the
talk of the trolley to this place and
the outlook of an additional ferry
service from this place, so that this
ward offers a fine opportunity for in
vestment. A contract has also been
let for the extension of the water
mains along Amboy avenue to Great
Kills and along Riverside avenue
through Kreischerville and through
several other streets on the outskirts
of the town and Raritan Bay Park.
