fondest hopes Of the early developers or nome

be chain in this stupendous electric system. AT
the present time, with only small part OF the
transit projects completed, it is possible to ride
from the Battery to Peekskill In a little over one
hour. The distance of the journey is over forty
four miles.
A SAFE INVESTMENT ZONE.
Real estate quick to the strength OF
any territory and to measure 1t accurately. 1t was
this quick discernment of the depth and width OF
the realty strength of this great suburban area
that actuated Of big real estate leaders to
become identified with the growth of various sec
tions of the region long before the disappearance
OF horsecars there. 1t is well known fact that
only few Of those leaders has ever regretted their
activities there, and their downfall due to try
ing to accomplish more than they were financially
able to do. And far can be learned few of
the great multtudes OF homeseekers who were led
into the district by these extensive real state op-
orators to be found among persons who re-
ceived no benefit from their realty purchases Owing

A VIGOROUS BUILDING LIFE.
Tho building life OF the various districts in

and there is not the slightest doubt that the con-

ing Of the many fine residential zones IN the last
twenty or thirty years will be duplicated. II not

SOME BIG TROLLEY PROJECTS.
From Peekskiu there is being built trolley line
which will run in a southeasterly direction 20
North White Plains and White Plains and there
unite with the central Westchester trolley roads
to form a perfect trolley link between this city
and Peekskill. In the future 1t is also

can be made by trolley along the valley region

River valley division. 1t Will thereby bring not
only aT these towns directly on the line OF the
xhrd-rail project within easier reach OF the CITY,
Aut also every town TO which the railroad runs.
Driciais Of the railroad have recently said that
Ghey are highly pleased with their first expert
snents or rather, their initial adoption Of the
aFird-rail system IA the cost OF operation and
maintenance are considerably less than under the
use OF steam. These officials have also said
recently that these features Of the new system
will unquesSionably result in the extension Of the
use of electricity along every line operated or
owned by the railroad
PLAN ENLARGEMENT OF TRAIN SERVICE
A glance at the various plans OF the New York
Central Railroad for improving its train service
u,,,ckly shows that the railroad has looked well
snto the future and is building not only to afford
a satisfactory service TO the present residents Of
IN. easterly section Of the Hudson Valley region,
t.,. also for the great numbers OF persons who
sre expected TO make their homes there in the
next ten years. The railroad ceased some time
eso the operation OF steam trains through the
Park avenue tunnel. although IL was not legally
hound 10 90 so until July l, when the law relat-
t,e IN the discontinuance of the OF steam
trains through the tunnel goes into effect BY that
time the entire system of The New York Central
ond the New Haven Railroad in the northern sec
lions OF the greater city Will be operated by cleo
tr1c;ty.
GREATER GRAND CENTRAL PROJECT
In order that there should be flaw in its
project for giving train service as perfect as
human power can make it, the New YORK central
several years ago purchased over four blocks abut
stns on the east the old site Of the tracks and
citation AT the same time work was begun on the
building of q greater Grand Central Station 10
OCCUPY many more blocks than the old station
The plans for the handling Of the trains called
for "a series of depressed tracks and the obttera-
r,ou of delays caused by switching inbound trains
to outbound tracks. In other words, these plans
meant nothing more Jess than the adoption of
O. system Of operation which would provide belt
a.. .cSesule OF trains. Trains, after arriving at
,,r~ end OF the station will run over a circular
s,sok and, after taking passengers bound for
a.. towns in the Hudson River Valley region will

AS Clifford B. Harmon, Of Wood, Harmon & Co,
said yesterday:
"Millionaires not the only ones that are be-
coming interested in WeStChester County. This
statement has been borne out by the success that
has attended the sale of property The val
liable Hudson River property, held mostly in large
estates. has proved most popular with investors
and home builders
All the way from Yonkers TO Harmon the de-
mand has been very strong for home sites This
has largely been caused by the realization that
the electric train service will not alone make many
desirable home sites available for city workers.
but also that it will largely enhance the value of
real estate. Much of the Overf1owing population of
Manhattan is finding its way to Yonkers, Mount
Vernon and 10 the places up to and including Har-
AS the latter is further away from the city
and still within easy reach, IL appeals strongly TO
those who wish genuine rural surroundings coupled
