READY FOR GRADING
RHODE ISLAND AVE.
Improvement in Northeast
Probably Completed
This Summer.

Assistant Engineer Commissioner Jay
]. Morrow has had completed in the Of
fee of Engineer Of Highways c. B.
Hunt plans and specifications from sur
reys made for the grading and improv-
ing OF Rhode Island avenue northeast,
from Brentwood avenue to Queens
Chapel road. a distance of i've blocks.
Congress. at its last session, appro-
priated $4,000 for this improvement.
with the proviso, as recommended by
the Board Of Commissioners, that the
land necessary for the Improvement of
the avenue be dedicated without cost
10 the Government for the improvement
and opening of that thoroughfare to
100 feet wide, as provided for in the
permanent plans Of avenues. highways.
Bnd streets.
Captain Morrow says that beyond
South Dakota avenue, through the
Woodbridge section, where the thor
oughfare is narrow and considerably
short OF the required 80 feet width,
dedication for the necessary land TO
carry out the Improvement has not
been made by the property owners In
that section. He is OF opinion that
lAEkE VIII DC 40 tEOuhtb Al LnaAs 4lBH-
ever, as he thinks the land owners
there, approaching the Importance of
the Improvement ard the great benefits
that viii accrue to lots abutting on the
widened avenue. will readily fan into
line
Just as soon as this is done bids win
be advertised for the work of grading
and matchmaking, contract let, work
started. and pushed 70 completion as
fast as possible. 1t is thought the
work viii be completed this summer.
AS Rhode Island avenue Is the main
thoroughfare of the rapidly growing
sec ion Of the northeast this improve
ment viii greatly enhance values of
property in that neighborhood. In ad-
dition to this work the completion of
the new intercepting sewer Is also a
point of much value and viii give to
house builders all the advantages pos
sessed by city houses. Several subdi-
visions. notably Sherwood, along the
av 1ue, are being successfully exploited
and a number Of new houses are now
under way or plans made for their early
undertaking.
The country in this section is high and
rolling and with the convenience of i'm
proved streets and increased transit IA
eilities there is every probability that
building operations will be lively in that
section during the coming spring and
summer.

IMPROVE PROPERTIES
ON NEW YORK AVENUE

Plans for the improvement OF premises
1903. 1905. and 1907 New York avenue
northwest, are in contemplation which
embrace the entire remodeling OF the
three houses. It is a part of the plan
TO put in new fronts and convert the
buildings into stores as the demand
along that street for store property has
made them most desirable.
The property in question is a part OF
the holdings OF Thomas F. Walsh in
that square. and the extensive altera-
tons proposed would indicate that for
the present at least the cherished idea
of Mr.. Walsh TO build a magnificent
Office building on the site has been
abandoned.
The present structures are four-story
buildings erected many years ago that
have been partially remodeled for Office
uses and viii now lose their identity IN
the changes to be made.

NEW YORK LAND VALUES
ASTOUNDING FIGURES

NEW YORK, April s.-The total land
valuations of New York city by its re-
cent census reached the enormous ng-

Of 1906. 600 COO in 1897 over 1906. and 1896,
IN turn, showed an Increase of $4s0.0oJs-
COO over 1905
Within a decade the increase has been
considerably over 100 per cent. New
York real estate is today valued at
more than one twentieth of the entire
wealth of the United States.
1t Is greater than the entire wealth of
many States, and even Of many foreign
countries. II is . per cent. more than
the entire wealth of Holland. Spain,
Sweden, and Norway, 80 per cent more
than Switzerland, Denmark or Portu-

Seventy-flve or Eighty New

about two squares northeast OF Lincoln

The amount OF the investment win rep

to the activity in building which has
been so pronounced IN that section.
This firm has largely built in the
northwest section. and their houses have
