HEIRS WOULD BURN
ANCIENT MANSION
May Ask Permission to De-
Stroy TraSk House in
Upper New York.

NEW YORK, March 1O-In a few
days the heirs of Benjamin H. Trask
may ask Fire Commissioner Hayes for
permission TO burn the old Trask man
sion, at One Hundred and Seventy
fourth street and Southern Boulevard.
1t will be the first time Cor this kind
OF a question 10 be put up to the fire
department, and there Will be puzzling
times in the East Sixty-seventh street
headquarters.
The imposing four-story and basement
stone dwelling occupies the center Of a
whole block, and the heirs, some Of
them grandchildren of the late Mr.
Trask. believe that it will be more
economical to commit the building to
the flames and erect a new structure
than TO remodel the place.
Benjamin l. II. Tr8sk, who was one
OF TIC fir0t ship brokers in this city,
got me property from his grandfather
In 1919. IL vas then in the Bronx Wild
erness, but he had the house, already
very old, remodeled,. cupOla put in

years encroach on the sQuatter Sover-

lem and reach his domestic. CT course.
they laughed at him But New York
city has gone even beyond the boundary
he set. and his property, then valued at
probably less than $l0010O, is today
worth we'll over a million.
The Trask heirs left the dwelling
about fifteen years ago. Since then the
house has been gradually falling into
decay. Stray gypsies have occupied il
from time TO time, and their careless
ness caused several fires in the struc-
ture, but they never got much head
way. Now the property is TO be put UP
at auction in the real estate exchange
rooms on April Z. and the present own
ers are considering how 10 get rid of
the building that is encumbering the
ground.
