ltidhs has been one of the features of the

atiohs has been one OF the features of the
year.
The home development in the boroughs
Of Kings and Queens has demanded an
immense amount of <1oney in small sums
while the large building operations in Man
haitian have demanded mortgages the
amounts of which run Ia the million dollar
mark and above.
The financial conditions during the year
have not encouraged the replacing of the
average loans on private houses. Although
there has been plenty of money for invest
ment. there has been little tendency on the
part of lenders 10 put out their money al
less than A. per cent in Manhattan and
per cent in Brooklyn and The Bronx AS
most of the old private house loans were
already on this basis. there has been little
inducement 70 owners TO make changes In
their mortgages. as no interest saving could
be made. The necessity of the payment
of the recording tax has also increased the
number of mortgages that are extended by
the present holders.
Inc new year starts out with the prom
Use OF perhaps more money for real estate
loans than will be needed by borrowers
The outlook for 1910 is very encoura ging
both TO the real estate operator and to all
those whose business centres around real
estate interests.

MAY HAVE NEW COUNCIL.
Would Be Composed of Women-Fifth
Avenue Association Plans

The Fifth Avenue Association is con-
sidering the formation of an advisory coun-
ell of prominent women who will cooper
ate with the executive committee in the
direction of its work and in the promotion
OF it's plans for making Fifth avenue the
greatest street In the world. Among the
women who are now members of this as
ISOLATION. and from whom some members
of this council will doubtless be selected
Mrs. Mary e. Croker. Mrs. John H.
Hall. jr.. Mrs Richard Irwin, Mrs Alice
Maynard. Mrs. George G. McMurtry. Nine
Obry. Mrs. Robert Stafford, Nine L. Thurn
Mrs. NJ J. Whaley, Mrs. Isidor Wormser
Mrs. William r. Osgood Field and Miss
Ms H. Dehon.
Among the most important accessions TO
the membership of this association recently
has been that Of the Brick Presbyterian
Church.
1t is not unlikely that the Fifth Ayenue
Association will in the near future move
into new quarters and enlarge its facilities
in many ways. II is now centre OF in-
formation In regard TO many Fifth avenue
interests. but IL is proposed that q general
bureau of information will be established
at its new address, which will be OF great
use 10 all OF its resident and business
members

L0ST---A BROOK
Its old Edges May Be Found
zclth Courts Aid.

A decision has been handed down by the
justices of the Appellate Division OF the
Supreme Court in, this department in an
action brought by the Erie Basin Improve
ment Company against various owners OF
land on the westerly side of what was for
merly known as Doughtys or Cromwelfs
Brook. south Of 10th street, in The Bronx.
In reference to the lost boundary between
the lands of the different owners.
There was a stream of water Of con-
siderable size some years ago in the north
erly part of The Bronx. 1t then
known as Doughty's Brook. Later, at
points further south in The Bronx. it was
called Cromwell's Brook. All the old deeds
and maps of the section referred TO this
brook in one way or another. and parcels
of land belonging to different owners were
usually described as running to OF along
this stream. These descriptions were fol-
lowed in long line of conveyances until
some fifteen or twenty years ago the brook
disappeared and the former bed of the
brook became filled in. SO that it was i'm
possible to discover any physical traces
of it,
Last year an action was brought in the
Supreme Court in New York County by
Hatch & Clute. as counsel for the Erie
Basin Improvement Company. in which it
was averred that the Supreme Court had
equity powers and equitable jurisdiction to
esta blish definitely the location of this
brook in order to avoid disputes between
adjoining owners and in order to clear the
titles in this section OF the borough. 1t
was also set forth that the form of suit
was recognized many years ago in the
English courts. although probably in the
last hundred years there was only a single
decision in the New York courts invoking
this equitable power and jurisdiction. So
unusual was the petition of the Erie Basin
Improvement Company that when the case
came to trial before Justice Newburger
last March he dismissed the complaint and
held that the court was without power
to grant the relief sought, An appeal. was

taken on behalf of the Erie Basin Improve
ment Company to the Appellate Division
of the Supreme Court and was argued oy
Vincent P. Denihee Of counsel for the Erie
Basin Improvement Company.
In the opinion handed down. in which all
the justices of the court concurred, Justice
LouEhlin said that in cases of this kind
the equity courts should establish the lost
or obliterated boundaries to prevent null
tiplicity of suits as well as TO give owners
a continuous boundary line, and that al
though 1t would be question for the trial
court to determine the extent of the relief
1t would grant IL would be best to deter
mine the entire boundary. SO that further
litigation might be unnecessary.

Tao Books Reflect Brisk Mar

improvements on existing transporta-
ton lines in Queens and the anticipatory
effect Of the opening to trolley and third
rail roads of the Pennsylvania tunnels
and the greensboro Bridge have been the
means of adding to Queens tax books for
1910 upward of 100000 more parcels of
real estate than were assessed last year
Deputy assessors have finished their ap-
praisaiS and the records, made up by the
Commissioners of Taxes and Assessments,

The noteworthy increase in the last year
in the number of taxable parcels Of real
holdings is due to the conversion of farm
lands in home building centres and the
opening to homeseekers of the long
stretch Of land fronting on the East River
and the Sound. formerly divided into large
country estates Land improvements and
home building along the shore have added
TO taxable values considerable part of
the 100000 estimated the increase in
appraisals over the revised valuations of
1909.
Values have increased from S198, 000,01J In
1907 to about s2ss 100000, or approximately
100000 The comparative tables of in
creases by wards supplement the market
reports of interesting trading in the sec
tions recently developed and the older
wards, where increasing population has
forced the REINFORCEMENT of detached resi-
dence thoroughfares with two-family and
fiat buildings. In the period mentioned
values in Jamaica and contiguous sections
of the Fourth Ward have advanced about
IS per cent, while in the Third Ward en-
bracing Flushing, Malba, Whitestone and
the western end of the north shore. the in
crease has been about So per cent.
The building operations approved by the
Bureau of Buildings in the last year show
a marked increase over. the best previous
record. and about equal the total of two
average years previous to 1905. The new
dwellings will furnish housings for about
forty thousand persons. Plans were filed
for about 4.540 structures, the estimated cost
of which is close TO 100000. The

OUTLOOK BRIGHT
An 4bandance of Money for
Realty Projects Expected.
By Clarence II. Kelsey.

The last year has proved that it is still
estate in this city. 1 do not mean by this
will surely find it worth more in the future
than it is at present, but it is evident that
we are still TO have phenomenal and. TO
many, unexpected growths in certain sec
tons of the greater city. The sudden de-
velopment of Fourth avenue beginning al
most at Union Square itself and extending
to S4th street, has been, perhaps the sur
prise of the year
doubt whether New Workers who live
here year after year really appreciate what
a wonderful city New York is growing to
be. The other night one of the large steam
ships was coming up the harbor just be-
fore dusk. The passengers were crowded
on deck, watching the marvellous Manhat-
tan skyline when suddenly the electric
lights which illuminate the tower of the
Singer Building We're turned on. The crowd
of passengers instinctively burst into an
uncomfortable cheer. and yet this sight is
witnessed by a million New Workers every
day without any real appreciation of what
wonders architecture has accomplished in
New York City.
Some one has said that architecture is
the only art in America that has developed
10 point where its grea tness is at all
commensurate with that of our country
Architects here, driven perhaps by the ne
cessities of land values on Manhattan ISL
and, have developed something that is not
only distinctively American but is truly
great These great skyscrapers have been
built not only along the lines of business
necessity. but along the lines of beauty as
well. and instead of reducing our city to a
city of canyons. as has been predicted. they
have added materially to its beauty and its
reputation.

CUPID WAITS NOW
FOR OLDER VICTIMS

The average age Of the community IS
becoming older, it is pointed out by the
president Of the Royal Statistical So
cie+v recently. It is Interesting to note
that the AGE of marriage has also the
same tendency. According to the await
allie returns. as many as 10000 girls
marry In England in a year under the
ace OF n. that is in less than one
seventh Of the marriages registered.
Thirty wears, a generation ago, more
than one-ffth of the women marrying
i'm 4 year were minors
Another interesting fact that seems
70 prove this tendency to later mar
riaces : provided by the figures for
the last decade In 1907 the number OF
marriages Of women between the ages
Of i and - were Just over 5000 more
than in 1898. while the marriages Of
women between the ages Of p and -
increased by Just over 10000.
The average or mean age OF al
srins-er~ who married in 1896 was >,
wears and one month. This advance
10 - wears and Ga months in the last
available returns. Widows. at their sec
onG and third marriages, are also Older
having advanced from an average of II
wears months to A. wears | months.
Thus. >pinster brides are nearly 81
months. and widow brides four months
older than those Of a few years ago.

Thin blood is the most frequent cause
of debility. As the supply of blood sent
to the brain does not carry sufficient
nOurlshment the patient is dull and
drOwsy. the nerves become starved and
there are marked nervous symptoms.
As the blood and nerves control diges-
ton the stomach suffers from lack of
tone and the victim loses weight and
strength.
The treatment for this condition is to
build UP the blood and blood tonic
that also directly strengthens the nerves

manent improvement. Such q remedy
is Dr., Williams Pink Pills.
