through the Battery tunnel has been eX-
tended 10 the Long Island Railroad station
at Flatbush avenue. The real estate boom
through which the borough has just passed
was in anticipation Of these improvements.
When they are in operation an even greater
prosperity may be expected,
Undoubtedly the most notable trans
formation due TO the preliminary boom has
taken place in the territory Immediately
north and south Of the main line OF the
Long Island Railroad and along the route
OF the trolley lines between Woodhaven
and Queens. Hundreds OF two family
houses, small frame dwellings and de-
taohed residences have been put up on the
outskirts of Woodhaven. Richmond Hill
and Jamaica in the last three years. The
farm lands Of few years ago have become
city blocks intersected by paved streets
and sidewalks lined with houses.
Richmond Hill and Jamaica although
radically different in some respects, are
very much alike in others Richmond Hill
is almost entirely a residential community
Jamaica is one OF the most important rail-
road and distributing centres on Long
Island Both have a rather mixed popula-
ton and corresponding variety OF housing
There are cheap fats and two family houses
for the laboring classes, small private
dwellings for people of modest means, and
larger, more pretentious residences for
the we'll 20 do. The northern part OF each
town-in Richmond Hill the slope OF Forest
Park and In Jamaica the south side Of the

spreading trees

A TRIP TO THE LIME WORKS AT
KENDRICK

Through the courtesy Of Hon. John
D. Robertson, and in company with
him, Rev. W. H. Dodge and Mr.. 4. Y.
Strunk, we visited the lime works of
Messrs. Meffert, Robertson & Co., just
beyond the poor farm. on the Ken
drick road, Friday afternoon, in his
rapid-going auto:
These gentlemen have a hill cover
ing an area of about seventeen acres.
which is a solid body of lime, pene-
trating into the depth Of the earth for
many feet, and it really looks as if
the supply is inexhaustible.
The company now has four kilns in
operation and are arranging for two
others. Each kiln has a capacity of
sixty barrels. and it will soon be run
up 10 its full capacity.
The rock is run into the kilns on an
inclined plane in cars which are
drawn by gasOlene engine.
Barrels and hoops are made on the
place. The arrangements for making
the barrels are very simple, and yet
the work is done most expeditiously.
two men turning out about one hun
dred and seventy-five barrels a day.
The loose lime is used on the coun-
ty roads Mr.. Meffert says, however.
that he has recently received an or
der from the University of Florida for
several tons of powdered lime. which
will be tested for agricultural purpos-
es. and if it proves as useful for fer
tilizing purposes as the station chem
list and agriculturist predict it will in
Stantly become marketable.
Marion county furnishes the lime
for nearly the entire state OF Florida.
and most of it is made in the Ken
drich neighbOrhood.
Notes
Mr.. 3. c. Mcleod has sold his old
place TO q Georgian and has built him
a new place near the lime works.
kendrick is showing a great deal of
activity. and the farmers are getting
busy putting their fields in order.
The growing crops are most pleas
ing to the eye.
The poor farm has an inviting look
and as Mr.. Robertson passed he left
a basket Of fruit for the inmates.
