4CTITIT'Y IN BROOKLYN.
Large Increase an Trading ir Many
Districts There.

The Real Estate Record and Guide says in its
last issue about the situation in Brook
lyn as follows:
The weeks trading in real estate was notable
for two reasons-for the decided widening of the
market and for the magnitude of the transactions
reported OF particular interest is the runor that
the Brighton Beach racetrack has been sold to
land developing company and will at once be cut
up building That such disposition should
be made of this desirable property has been gener-
ally conceded. since the passage of the anti-gam-
bling bill eliminated the greatest source OF profit
to the of the plant. Envious eyes have
long been cast on this property, which is ad-
vantageousy situated for residential purposes If
the report of the sale is true-and there seems to
be good reason believe its authenticity-the
ton will eventually be benefited by the change, but
a temporary setback will be experienced The dis
trict is populated largely by the army of people
employed at the track and the tradesmen whose
business is dependent upon their support. There
being reason for remaining there longer, the
racetrack employees will naturally seek other places
of domicile and the tradesnen Will suffer accord
ingy. but the eventual recovery as a result of the
improvements contemplated by the purchasers, will
be rapid. Long Island acreage figured conspicu-
ously in the weeks transactions. The purchasers
not buying for speculation. for homes.
either for immediate OF future Improvement. A
larger percentage of cash buyers Is invading the
market than at any previous time. Operators are
waking up to the increased demand for suburban
property and anticipating the future outlying
districts by large purchases for subdivision into
villa plots rather than into city lots
In South Brooklyn there is continuous small
business, most noticeable at Bay Ridge and Dvker
Heights with an occasional sale of high grade
properties decided improvement in the mort
gage market is noted. For the first time this wear
the weeks records show larger amount OF money
leaned at 5}a per cent than per cent which
until quite recently has been the prevailing rate
The lowering of the due in a large measure
to the increasing number of good applications tho
lack OF wlch held up the interest rate In spite OF
the fact that there plenty of money"

BUNGALOWS POPULAR.
Il Quick Market Found for Those
Built an Park Hill.

The idea so many people have that bungalows
are mere summer homes is rapidly giving way 10
greater appreciation of this cosey quaint, common
sense type of residence said Edward B. Boynton
vice-president of the American Real Estate Com
pany yesterday
True, there a number of homes in the better
suburbs around New York built along bungalow
lines but few of the real California bungalows
have thus far found a location the city This
fact occasions surprise to those who have
seen the Swiss chalet and mission types so popular
In California, with their extra large rooms. big
freplaces etc. making ideal all the year round
residences in any climate.
''Of course suitable settings are none too plen-
tiful about New York but surely one could not
find more attractive surroundings anywhere for a
bungalow home than in a suburb like Park Hill,
in the shade of old forest trees 800 feet above the
Hudson The American Real Estate Company is
at present building bungalow colony IN this
suburb beautiful. which is attracting wide atten-
ton from homeseekerS. 1t is said that nearly all

TRAFFIC CONGESTION IN NEWARK.

Seth Rogers Abrams has asked the Newark Real
Estate Board OF Brokers to consider plan
for improving traffic conditions at Broad and Mar
.ket SITS. Newark. He says that Newark will have
her subWays and L roads. but what IT wants
now is temporary relief under existing conditions
and such relief could be made adequate enough TO
last for time. At Broad and Market the
bulk of traffic is north south west; that from
the east is not heavy in comparison. and when the
new Pennsylvania station is built ii will be even
less So With this in mind. il would seem that the
present congestion could be materially relieved by
tunnelling Broad st. that going and
would operate the street surface. while
those going north and south would be underneath
10 all effects a subway This should increase the
present capacity of transit facilities per
cent The which now turn of Broad
Market could be diverted to other Streets
enter the subway. and by means OF loop
uptown II the canal now crossing Broad st should
be drawn off and filled in. the subway could be
extended to Military Park, and thus give direct
connections between trolley and steam electric
systems II any city is to thrive and increase her
population. ample provisions must be made for
cheap and quick transit facilities to important
cantres well for local accommodations
