Among the deeds recorded recently at the
Registers Office are many which show the
present market value for various kinds Of
properties in Manhattan and The Bronx.
There will be found few better guides
than these and similar documents by own
ers, prospective buyers and other persons
in one or more ways identified with the
real estate market of the greater city.
Complaint was heard not long ago that
the title transfers were almost devoid Of
reliable aids to realty values. Those re-
sponsible for the changes in ownership were
teemingly more secrctiye than ever before,
the sum obtained for the property affected
never being expressed, If possible. And
often a false figure was mentioned as hav-
ing been received for all right, title and in

Ouery.-OD How many wards has Man
hattan?" (0 is it necessary for a real
estate clerk to know the boundaries of each
ware? '-H. G. Is.
Answered. There are twenty-rour ~
The old ward boundaries are continually
referred to in transfers Of titles and nu-
merous other real estate papers.
Few persons, however, actively connected
with trading or building operations could
define the boundaries of all the wards

ward lines in those districts
broker ought to know the realty his
tory of the place in which he does bust
ness, and a study of such a history not
only reveals when and how the wards were
laid out. but much valuable information
about building characteristics in the old
wards.
Many advertisers still mention that they
have property to buy. sell. lease or TO man
age In a certain ward. \ familiar 'ad"
is: "Wanted-Property in the 10th Ward
It tells as tersely possible that the add

Ouery-"k real estate agent tells me that
an owner OF = tenement house Is legally
bound TO file at the Tenement House De-
partment his name and address. and also
a report as TO the number Of rooms Of his
house. In case he sells the house, must he
send a report about the sale to the same
department?"-F. G. =.
Answer-The Tenement House Depart
mcnt has registry Of owners names.
Every owner OF tenement house must he
registered. When a tenement mouse IS sold
tho former owner must send a notice OF
tho change OF ownership, with the name
and address Of the new owner. The notice
must be sent within thirty days of the date
OF the transfer OF title to the property.
For failure 10 do so he will be fined $50.

terest in a certain parcel in hope of pre-
pairing the way of a quick resale OF the
property at a big advance.
Owing to the length of the recent list Of
deeds filed in which considerations paid for
the properties described are fully set forth
there will be little cause for further COM
plant.
From the deeds one gets a pretty good
gauge on up-to-date values in the West
End avenue district. where for many
months many builders have been busy
adjoining sites with apartment houses. In
point of elegance and structural strength
these houses are about the finest ever put
up in old New York.
For the northeast corner of list street
and West End avenue, 19X92.2 feet, $4,000
was recently paid. and for an adjoining
house t2S,5o0 Two doors east of the corner
parcel IS premises No. III. That site has
only a foot more frontage than the parcel
next to the corner one, yet for II the ex-
ecutors Of the William G. Citing estate got
$4,000.
The deeds Of transfer Of title are as fol-
lows:

sary matters, and go out OF the door with
every tenants monthly payment In his
pocket. Are these, therefore. qualified real
estate agents?
1--WE have many such, and our real estate
seas are strewu with wrecks OF invest
ments that under better management
would bring their owners satisfactory In
creases and profits
Many tenement houses wisely planned
and well constructed have failed as in
vestments because they never had a chance.
They have borne too heavy n load.
IF 500 net is the right earning power OF
house, and you insist on getting $50, you
may succeed for a year or two, but only
at the cost of the property. 1t will reckon
with you for far more than you have
gained. II a property well designed and
placed for select small families In the
stress Of some poor season Is offered TO a
less desirable class Of tenants you viii

and in the end score failure"
More we'll known traders are looking for
ward TO most enjoyable days for spccu-
lators in the Seventh avenue zone. When
DO they expect those proptious times?
Why, about early next year.
THE three principal forces in the ulti-
mate development Of Seventh avenue are
the Pennsylvania Railroad Station. the
opening of the thoroughfare at its south
erly end and the extension Of the Broad
way subway down Seventh avenue and
the entire West Side" says THE Real
Estate Record and Guide" THE extension
Of Seventh avenue from its present ter
minus at Greenwich avenue south to Var
lex street bids fair to he one of the most
beneficial Of recent street changes in the
city.
"a new thoroughfare will be created from
the heart Of the amusement district along
the western side Of the present mercantile
section, and continuing In fairly straight
line to the margin Of tina financial district
This will afford much needed artery Of
travel from the wholesale centre to tho
Chelsea piers and the Public Stores. II

Query notice that the letters Q. C..
T.. D., +. g. W. and r. & $. often appear
among the transcripts of tho documents
filed nj the Register Office What do they
stand fore. VI. T.,
Answcr-Thcv signify different kinds Of
deeds being authorizations for quit claim,
executors decd full covenant Of warranty
and bargain and sale deeds.
I'm describing the various kinds Of deeds,
a legal authority says: "A qult-claim decd
merely conveys to the buyer whateyc:
right title or interest the seller may have
IN the property and leaves upon the buyer
all responsibility as TO what that may be.
a bargain and sale deed also omita all
warrauues, but In # the seller grants the
property mot merely his iutercs, in IT,,
and therefore by Implication represents
himself as the owner Of g. But the courts
are not inclined to diferentiate between
the two forms
A deed with full covenants is the usua.
and safest method Of passing title to real
estate In this instrument the srantor
covenants that he owns the property and
has the right TO convey It. that the grantee
shall quietly enjoy II. that II is free from
membranes. that the grantor will pro-
cure any further necessary assurance OF
the title and that he Will forever warrant
the title.
Executors deeds can only convey what

possessed, and in them the only covenant
inserted is one that the executor has done
nothing to cucumber or reduce the tesla

There are many persons who think about
the easiest Job in life IS the management
Of tenement house property. Real estate
agents do not hold such views.
In a talk TO n real estate class Ransom
f. Wilcox said about the qualifications nee
essary to manage tenement house property;
"A boy may ring a doorbeN and ask a
woman for her rent, and when 1t Is paid
bring It TO the owner. A stupid man may
storm his way through a tenement house.

Letter to Vincent Bros, Bridgeport. Conn

Dear Sirs: A few years ago. 2 New York daily got-up a great agitation for dollar gas, and got it. The State passed the law, and the people liked 1t, of course, till the bills came-in. The bills were biggger not less: the law didn't say what the gas should he.
 The price of a gallon of honest paint is $2.25; but there's "paint'' all the way from 35 cents. to S2.25. A popular price is S1.25; there are scores of paints at that price. Like dollar gas.
 If $2.25 is the price of a gallon of honest paint you may be quite sure there are scores of "paints's at all prices from that down, with paint enough in them to pass for paint. And what are you going to do about it?
 It takes from s2 to $4 a. gallon to pay, the painter foF doing his work. Is it worth while, to pay $2 to S4 a gallon for brushing-on paint half whftewash?
 No: the expense of that extra and useless labor makes counterfeit paint cost more, than true.
 The remedy is Devoe. There are eight honest paints; Devoe is the strongest one of the eight.
 ~ Yours truly 55 Fw DEvoE 6 co Hnhheu & Wade co. sells our paint,
