CENTRAL AVENUE
BOOM GROWING
Property Values Have In
creased ThreefoId Within
Three Years.
PORTIONS BECOME CENTRE
OF AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY
Many Apartments and Brick
Residences Are in Course
of Construction.

wiseacres of a few years age seem
20 have rightly judged the posi-
hilities of Central avenue when they
held that much property on the
thoroughfare would double and triple
IN value within five years. In fact,
these prophets actually underesti-
mated what the future had in store
for the investor who placed his none,
In Central avenue properties.
But a short three years ago land
that is now quoted at upward of 500
per front foot could have been pur-
chased as low as $50 per foot. Sew
eraf good reasons may be aseribed
for this remarkable reimbursement of
values. the chief of which Is, per-
hans. the recognition by automobile
interests of Central avenues position
as a centre for their business. 1t
would seem to an unbiased observer
as If the thoroughfare offered prac-
tieally ideal conditions for the pur-
pose.
Another reason that offers itself is
the large mount of building that
has naturally attended h efforts OF
the numerous automobile concerns to
secure locations and the stimulus
that his has given to other building
operations. A conservative figure OF
the mount invested in new buildings
within a period of three years is
81. 900, 900. This. however, represents
only a bare beginning. The next
three years win unquestionably see
such an increase in the number of
structures as will astonish even the
more enthusiastic of the operators
who have already pinned their faith
to Central venue Those who know
believe that property values will in
crease equally in the future with the
past, even though the basis today Is
essentially different from that of
three a ago.
As illustrating the potency of the
automobile interests in a particular
of Central avenue. we find the
Stearns people located on the north
east corner of jay street. on the
opposite the Pope-Hartford
Company in a new home. A little
further along, at 313-315-317, is the

LOOKS FOR GROWTH IN
WEEQUAHIC SECTION

In a communication with n
representative of this newspaper,
Frank j. Book, manager of the Wee
quahic Land and Improvement Com
pany, had this to say regarding the
realty outlook for the fall season:
80 far as Il own interests are
concerned there is nothing but what
is favorable. We are having a re-
newed number of inquiries week by
week which will naturally result IN
sales. | attribute the present notable
interest manifested in our properties
to the general knowledge of the great
improvements being effected in the
Weequahic Park section. The new
station of the Lehigh Valley railroad
is undoubtedly az big factor in the
situation. l would hardly wish to
say that other sections of the city
with relatively less to attract the
buying public, would experience a
proportionate movement. 1t is very
possible hat we have under the cir
c~umstances a certain natural adj
vantage not possessed generally by
realty developers.
At any rate. we are well satisfied
at the way the season is opening, for
with interested inquirers already in
the market there can be no doubt of
the outcome.
At least a normal business should
be enjoyed during the fall by all
legitimate real estate interests, and
in special instances business may
possibly rise to higher proportions,
One thing may be said with empha-
sis, and that is property values will
never be lower than their present
level

that this latter site will be improved

Mr.. isMAY.

Mankind loves a scapegoat. When
over there is a disaster or great ca
tastrophe people begin at once tol
look for the one upon whom they can
vent their Indignation. In the Titan
ic disaster it seems that by common
consent Mr.. Ismay, the managing d.
rector of the line, who had the mixed
good fortune and bad fortune to be a
passenger on the ship, must be the
scape-goat. All the blame for the
appalling tragedyiand its horrible loss
of lite is to be laid at the door OF this
man. In the senate Of the United
States. a member knowing thar In
the present state of the public mind
his speech would be eagerly printed
and more eagerly read, tried, con-
yicted and sentenced Ismay to eter-
nal ignomy and disgrace.
But candidly is there any real
proof that Ismay was to blame Tor
this tragedy? Does any sane, sensi-
BILE nan believe that he would have
done anything that would have added
to the hazard of millions OF dollars
of property in which he was directly
and personally interested? Does
any thinking being imagine for an In
slant that he courted the experience
that he had on the boundless deep OF
that cold night? 1t may be that Is
! nay was looking more after his owl
safety, when the crash did come
that he was after the safety OF pas
sengers and crew, but are there no
among the thousands of his critic
many who would privately admit tina
they would rather be In 1smay'
shoes than J., be one Of the dead HI
roes at the bottom of the Atlantic
Mr.. Ismay is not altogether an q
trac.ive character, but there Is n
reason in the abuse that IL bein
heaped upon him.
