Chief Engineer Dean Of Massachusetts

Horse and Motor Drawn Vehicles.

Dean, no matter what it costs If an
expenditure of $4,000 per mile Is re-
quired to construct a road to carry a
certain amount Of traffic without un-
due subsequent outlay for maintenance
and If a road costing less will not sus-

HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY.
Bodily Temperature.

Many people are unaware the
so called normal body tempera-
ture of $50 degrees F. is. not al
ways maintained by persons in
perfect health. Variations of
degree between 6 p. M. when
the temperature in normal man
is highest. and $3.50 a. M. when
it is lowest, have been noted,
and a healthy child's tempera-
ture sometimes falls in the early
morning as low as 90. At other
hours, however, an abnormally
high or low temperature is an
excellent reason for calling OF
the doctor.

PASSING OF OLD ESTATE
Watson Property, in The Bronx,

first Offering of lots in the Watson tract on
May g means the passing OF another ola es-
tate to make way for the city's expansion.

lam Watson chose for the site OF VIII
mont wooded eminenCe to the north
east at the junction Of the old Westchester
Road, now Westchester avenue, and what
Is now l74th street, they did not realize
that such a short time would make such
changes.
Nearly all the old sites in this section
have passed from their estate ownership
into the hands OF builders and operators
who are literally making city within
city. The old Faile tract in the Hunts
Point region has many modern apartments
on II, and on the Hoe and Simpson estates
have been erected dozens Of the finest null
ti-family homes in The Bronx The quick
occupation by five story apartments or the
Hoe and Simpson estates directly adjon-
ing the Watson is the result Of the trend
OF New Yorks ever increasing multitude
The Watson property which is being de-
veloped by the American Real Estate Com
pany, is especially fortunate in that for ten
blocks II fronts on Westchester avenue, one
OF the most important thoroughfares IN mat
section. The Westchester avenue station OF
the New York, Westchester & Boston Rail
road is at the southwestern end OF the
Watson property and the West Farms sta

therefore, be a most important transfer
point when the Lexington avenue subway

round the Watson property with rapid tran
sit. The location OF two stations on Inc
