Not many deeds have been filed recently
at the Registers Office which throw addi-
tional light on that all-important subject,
the present market value Of real estate In
Manhattan and The Bronx.
In an entire weeks list OF transfers OF
titles there are about ten papers in which
the amount paid for the properties is ex-
pressed
Transfers OF titles to parcels which have
been lately sold at foreclosure are not in
cluded in this list Of documents selected as
aids TO realty values, otherwise there would
be a list of considerable length. Happen
ings in the auction rooms are reported
daily, and therefore the prices paid for
parcels at foreclosure are soon known
throughout the city.
or late The Bronx has not been generous

more than usual on reported sale prices,
auction results and loans placed TO keep In
touch with the trend of values.
Among the recent deeds filed was one

TO LESSEN FIRE LOSS
All Owners Should Help, Says
Merchants Association.

The Merchants Association SAYS that all
business men and all owners OF buildings
| ought to be willing TO cooperate with the
Fire Department in carrying out those feat.
ures of the Hoey fire prevention law. which
| provide for the removal OF combustible rub

cumulations are a direct invitation 70

As to those provisions of the law which
deal with the structure OF buildings both
as to fire prevention and means of escape.
their application will demonstrate whether
they can he improved by change. Mean
| while the law must be enforced, for only
| by enforcement can the need for amend
ment IL amendment is necessary, be DEM

! Frank r. Chambers. chairman OF the
committee on fire prevention and insurance
of the association. said in his recent re-
port to Mayor Gaynor about the results
under the new law:
I'm drafting this act this association had
in view the lessening " fire loss tand
therefore the lessening OF insurance cost,
by exposing through constant and syste-
matte inspection conditions conducive 10
fires. and abolishing such conditions
through summary action by the Fire De-
partment.
1T was found that the provisions OF law
intended to restrict fires or the damage
therefrom were mainly confined TO control
{. structural details which control was de-
yolvcd upon the Building Department. II
was further found that such control was
in a considerable degree ineffective. by rea-
son of the diatory procedure necessary IN
cases of alleged violation, and the failure
TO provide the Building Department with
sufficient force Of field inspectors. Further
more. inspections by the Building Depart
nlent wholly omitted cognizance OF many
conditions which are frequent. and indeed
principal. causes OF fires.
1T was therefore sought to remedy tho
defects OF previous law, proved inenective
by experience, by providing
"First-For constant and comprehensive
inspection covering not only defective
structural conditions but also condition ana
character Of contents, conditions resulting
from use and occupance, facilities OF escape

| extinguishment Of fire.
"Second-For summary abolition OF dan.

ARTIFICIAL LAKES.

A German investigator has found that the
large artificial lakes formed for irrigation
purposes or to supply water for large cities,
are not without influence on the climate of
the surrounding locality In one instance
that came under his notice. there has been
during the ten years since the dam was
constructed and the lake formed, a de-
crease of IL degree Fahrenheit in the aver
age monthly difference between maximum
and minimum temperatures. In the neigh
borhOod of another lake the number OF foggy
days has increased from the average Of
ffty-Seven each year to eighty-siX. The
German Investigator says that this increase
can be assigned 10 no other cause than the
creation OF the great artificial lake and the
consequent increased evaporation In the
locality.-POpular Mechanics.
