PURCHASE WHITE PROPERTY
Scarsdale Estates Add Fifty-five
Acres to Their Holdings.

The so-called White property, consisting
of about fifty-five acres. between the
White Plains village line and the Hartsdale
station, east of the Harlem division. and
fronting on Walworth avenue. was trans
ferred on Friday last TO the Scarsdale Es-
tates, thus dissoIving the last of the JOINT
holdings of the Butler estate and the Scars
dale Estates which were created nearly
quarter of century ago by the late We'll
come G. Hitchcock and Charles Butler.
The Scarsdalc Estates have set aside four
acres of this property for park purposes
This, with the other property recently
acquired by the company. assures Hart5-
dale of having one of the most attractive
station surroundings anywhere along the
Harlem division. Under their direction the
old stone house on the east side of the
station is being renodeIled and will add
greatly to the station layout. On the west
side the estates have purchased the Ham
n1ond property and are about to begin TO
remodel these buildings into modern stores
The Public Service Commission has hand
ed down its decision eliminating the grade
crossing at Hartsdale and this means that
work viii be begun toward a new station
and a new approach.
| The estates are now in possession OF
practically all of the property from Fenl-
moEe Road north to White Plains. between
| the New York Post Road and the Harlem
Railroad, having recently rounded out then
| holdings by the purchase of the McCaDe
estate and the Barney property. They are
planning to- extend Greenacres avenue
| through to Berkeley Road, thus making a
| continuous roadway on the crest of the
| hill north from Hartsdale to connect with
! Ridgeview avenue in White Plains. They
| also plan to connect Greenacres avenue
with the New York Post Road. and vii
probably open up the McCaoe property
next spring.

Receive Funeral Car.

MacMartin & Co., undertakers, yes
terday received a new silver grey flu
neral car, one of the best shipped to
Washington, and the best in this Sec
ton of the state. The car was pur-
chased from an eastern firm and was
made according to the directions of
Mr.. MacMartin. It is understood the
purchasing price was $4,000. The sill
yer grey cars are becoming almost
universally used in the east for funer-
ais of persons of all ages and although
very few are in the Northwest they
are more in demand every year. Mr.
MacMartin believes that Walla Walla
should have as good and beautiful
funeral cars as other cities, and al
though he owns a fine black one, be-
lieves the new one will grow in de-
mand One difference in the new car
is that it is free from curtains and
has only small beveled glass on
either side. Instead Of curtains heavily
carved wood is used on the outside
of the car.
