West Side districts in years notwithstanding
the many big improvements which have been
planned and completed. and which will largely

Of the district and that means that the section

Island City. or. in other words, TO most of the
principal residential and business regions in Queens
County along the westerly shore Of the East River
wIDEAwAKE QUEENS BROKERS.
The majority of real estate brokers in: the Bor-
ough of Queens have long been awake TO the effect
that the bridge will have values in their Dor
cugh But as yet there are few indications that
most Of the property owners at or near the west
erly approach Of the bridge realize that the bridge
will be a big factor in the shaping OF future trad
ing throughout the entire district.
There is probably no other section Of Manhattan
Island in which large number of the present
school of builders could become active in short
time. They could create within the boundaries of
the section a factory centre which would be ap-
preciated by every growing manufacturing con-
Germ. They could also replace many blocks of old
houses with modern tenement houses which would
furnish comfortable homes to the masses which
| might find employment in the new factory centre
If there should such q realty movement in the
near future in the central East Side, IL is likely
that it would tend TO put up values 10 such
heights 70 make il profitable for the carrying
