ON property there last year was $2S15oeoo
What is the market value OF property IN anu

"Values vary greatly and the unit OF values
Of one block will be considerably higher or lower
than that of an adjacent block, said the expert
"Tbe most valuable property In the city Is at

of many leading realty dealers that $4,000 a

A few blocks There is large building near
this point the market value Of which is consid-
cred 10 he at least $4,000 front foot Values
have been increasing here steadily for some
wears as the section Is being transformed into a
greater office building and shopping section We
have been told that at Park Place and Broad
street the Hudson and Manhattan Tunnel Com
pany intends to have terminal station, and
owing to that announcement shrewd operators
are irving to determine what effect the building
of such station will have plots in Clinton
street Canal street and other nearby streets
They would also like know what effect IL will
have values in Park Place. which is at present
almost entirely covered with old Id-fashioned dwell
ing houses. most of which. however. have all
modern improvements.
THE SHOPPING DISTRICT CENTRE.
Fronting on Military Park is; the centre of
great retail shopping district Of the city. Along
the retail shopping centre the market value OF
property ranges from $4,000 10 $1,000 front
foot But the front foot valuations here do not
give an accurate idea of square foot prices. as
many parcels the market value of which is
pressed being $4,000 $4,000 !,
front foot vary in depth Some are considerably
more than full city lot in depth, others less
than 100 feet deep. and st others may be over
200 feet deep The tunnel station will undOubt-
edly enhance values in this section. and il would
surprise realty experts to hear OF plots in
the district suitable for large office structures
for store buildings changing hands at $4,000
a front foot. There is growing de-
mand in this section for more office buildings,
and maybe in the future of
the prosperous merchants along Broad street who
occupy small stores may perfect plans for
larger quarters. and the carrying OF those
plans would mean another big drygoods store for
the section Such project could hardly be car
ried out without establishing record price
for sites in the district"
