Greeley Square district dreamed OF at that
time.
As regard cooperative apartment houses,
the city has grown generously rich, be-
cause from 18th street and Park avenue 70
point 4 mile or more north there has
been erected in the last few years one Of
the greatest cooperative apartment houss
centres in the world. Moreover, this is not
the only part of the city where this type OF
building has become popular.
IN this period. too. there has been wit
messed the work of rechanging the build-
ing outlines Of large part Of that great
West Side district north Of seth street and
west OF Central Park West and south oe
the Clermont region. Furthermore, there
has been a healthful. steady growth on
Washington Heights and In the Dyckman
sections, and almost everywhere In tho
central and easterly zones Of the hourish-
ing Borough Of The Bronx, where public
lark areas are beginning to be appreciated
at their true value, new business and resi-
dental centres have been formed.
OF course one Of the most important de-
velopments in the growth Of the city IN
the last four years is TO be found in tho
central Fourth avenue district. which up
to the fan Of 1907 was looked upon by most
spectators as an old-fashioned. sleepy re-
tail district, which would continue 10 res
main in a somnolent state for many years.
This is considered by many realty experts
as the most remarkable transformation
which has ever taken place on old MaUAAt-
tan Island
Millions have been invested in this dis
trict. The little old-flshioned buildings
have been mostly replaced by twelve story
mercantile and Office structures
Whole block fronts have taken on tho
garb of newness and other projects are
under way for adding to the building

4 CHANCE FOR BUYERS
Bright Outlook for Higher Prices
in Lower West Side.

Charles L. Duross, head of the Duross
Company. which has lons been identiheu
with real estate activities in the Greenwich
village and Chelsea sections of this city, is
very enthusiastic regarding the outlook TOT
this year for West Side realty. He said
yesterday: The demand for small invest
ment property is better than for three years
past and owners are more disposed thah
i'm the past 10 meet the prices offered ny
buyers. We have sold several small houses
during the last few weeks at prices ranging
from $1,000 10 10000 on the West side from
10th street 10 23d street. 10 be occupied by
the purchasers for homes. In few cases
the buyers intend to alter the houses to
accommodate their business requirements.
1T is only question Of a short time
when IN the section of our West Side Of
fee it will be difficult 10 pick up small
properties. as the speculative builders are
buying UP plots for loft buildings and ware
houses of the larger type. so that small
pieces will soon be at a premium
There Is no safer pFt Of the city TO
invest IN at the present time than the
West Side. as this section is due 10 feel
the results Of many great city improve
