OWNERS OF THE BEND
Records Show the Vast Holdings
There of italians.

Until Maddalena c. Cellilo recently took
title 10 the four big six story tenement
houses, with stores Nos. 3S and 20 Baxter
street. the extent Of the real estate hold
ings OF Italians in the Bend was not gen
orally known. This fact was announced in
The Tribune several days ago.
The city assessment figures for Mulberry
street show. as previously reported, total
valuation OF s6e51. 900 for taxable property
there. Many fathouses are under a single
ownership.
Just south Of Mulberry Bend Park is
long row Of iathouses with stores on the
ground floor. Nos. 5. 26 and 2s are owned
by Pietro Fioreto. Charles Bacigalupo and
Antonio Cuneo respectively; and Nos p
and "a by John B. Peirano.
The city places the value OF the block
facing Mulberry Bend Park at SS36O0O. 1t
is numbered 30 to So and all the parcels.
with the exception OF 46 TO 80 inclusive, are
owned and managed by Italians.
This group Of tenement houses is one OF
the most profitable OF its class In the
greater city. Maddalena Cellilo Is the
owner OF the house at No. "A, assessed at
$4,000. Michael Berardini owns the north
east corner parcel, No 30, and also Nos.
"a. 36, IS and 40. The market worth OF those
houses is put at s174,0OO by experts OF the
Tax Department Mr.. Berardini lives at No.
"a. and therefore is able 10 guard his in
terests in a most approved manner. In
duestionably he could quickly qualify as
an expert on fathouse rentals. mainten-
nance charges and income In the heart OF
the principal italian colony OF the greater
city.
Plus Clement Volta, D. Merello and An
drea Cappareln, Zllda Cerabino, Gaetano
Malone and Giovanni Lordi are among
the biggest owners In the southerly part
OF the street Messrs. Volta and Lordl pay
taxes on properties assessed at nearly
100000.
Estates not many years ago owned the
larger part OF the Bend. Their holdings in
the section now are comparatively insig-
niicant This is quickly shown by the list
OF owners of property there. For instance
take the records Tor the two blocks on the
easterly side Of Mulberry street from
Canal street 70 Grand street. The street
numbers Of the premises, together with
the assessed valuation and names OF own
ers are as follows:

BUILDING FOR PROFIT
Low Cost of Cement Increases
the Opportunities.

With Portland cement at s. cents a barrel
mill price, the progress Of reinforced ce-
ment construction will receive an added
impetus. says the Bulletin OF the Real Es-
tate Board Of Brokers. At present It costs
about one-half the price Of brick construc-
tion In large work. and there Is no econom-
ic reason why Il should not supplant brick.
IL also says there Is q disposition on the
part OF some mortgage loaners to look
with disparagement on this new type OF
building but large loaners OF money have
assured brokers they would have no objec-
ton TO oaning on concrete structures pre-
vided the buildings we're constructed by
competent builders, that being the ono
point to safeguard in concrete work Of any
kind otherwise they regard them on the
same basis.
II adds: II building (concrete) costing
10 cents a foot competes on an even basis
Of income with one (briclO costing IS cents
10 % cents a cubic foot, how long can a
borrower continue to procure an adequate
loan on the brick structure? Apparently
the mortgage loaner should favor concrete
as giving him security having decided
economic advantage over brick, or he may

structure as IT becomes more economically
inefficient.
Regarding the yearly depreciation OF
boilers and engines, the Bulletin also says.
Under favorable conditions ard twelve
hours daily work a boiler is good for d
life Of twenty years. Slow speed engines
are good for about the same life Win
care or may, under favorable circurn-
stances. have a life Of twenty-five years.
High speed engines wear out quicker thelr
life is calculated at fifteen years. Ihis
life period also includes foundations and
fittings. Boilers. yearly depreciation . per

II is careful bookkeeping to deduct
