M0NTAUK INVASION
Seaport Plans Followed by Big
Realty Buyinq.

The recent announcement that plans were
being considered for transforming Mon
tauk, Long Island. into a large seaport.
with giant piers for the use OF the biggest
ocean greyhounds," mas stimulated realty
buying there.
These purchasing operations have already
become so extensive and so spectacular
that they form one OF the largest trading
epochs in the history OF Long Island
1t may be many months before title to
the greater part of the property dealt In
is recorded. because In this invasion OF
buyers into this section OF Long Island
many persons have so far only bought and
resold sixty or ninety-day options to some
Of the choicest properties. These options
are likely to be extended and eventually
exercised by syndicates prominent as de-
yelopers In eastern Long Island. Then the
titles will be passed. giving a better idea
OF the extent of this buying movement
Vast sums have already been made by
purchases OF property outright and resaies
Of options.
The best informed real estate experts AZ
the scene OF this important Long Isiand
realty activity say that 1t unquestionabiy
oreshadows the early development OF
picturesque Montauk into an ocean town
of many thousand inhabitants. no matter
II some previous projects for making II
great seaport are not soon launched
Virtues Long Hidden.
What many persons who are large
buvers I'm this part Of Long Island just
low cannot understand is how the realty
virtues Of the place have so long remained
lnappreciated. They were recently ura""
TO the place by the plans for big seaport
there. The majority OF them had never
before set foot in old Montauk Ihes
quickly saw that the reports that more
than enough piers for the longest ocean
erevbounds could be easily built there
we're true. and that there was also ample
room for erecting on adjoining land great
warehouses;. modern factories OF large
floor area and business centres inc'udihs
freight and passenger terminals, ana ID
nearbv sections for colonies OF detached
cottages.
On the northerly side Of old Montauk Is
For, Pond Bay in which 1t Is planned TO
build the giant piers on the sou'"e'S
side is a long beach. washed by the waters
of the Atlantic Ocean. There are a'mos'
innumerable sites for beautiful summer
bostleries overlooking the bay and the
ocean.
In view of this buying movement II
is thought that one or more big hoteis
will be put up there In the near future,
The Montauk projects have also resuit"u
