One additional precaution is neces-

OF An American Pioneer
From Germany.

New York, Oct 29-For the first
time in history figures have just
been made public here covering the
value and extent of the real estate
holdings in this city of the country's
greatest family land owners-the
Astors, descendants of the original
John Jacob Aston, who arrived in this
country from Germany in 1884 with
out a cent and Immediately began
the accumulation of the enormous
present day property. While many
guesse have been made concerning
its size, there has never before been
any authentic compilation. The
new figures show that the present
land holdings in this city of the
three astors-William Waldorf, John
Jacob and William--total almost
TOO separate parcels and are taxed
on valuation of $107, 100000. As
this valuation is probably no more
which the properties would bring
at public or private sale, the total
value of these enormous holdings
would doubtless reach $150,000. 900.
Almost as surprising as the magni-
tude and value of the properties is
their wide distribution. Every sec
tion of the city is represented and in
nearly every case by the choisest
properties. Indeed in many sections
a stone thrown at random would al
most certainly land on piece of AS
tor real estate. The manner in
which this fortune has been built up
is shown by the fact that one of the
