BIG SALE OF LOTS
Property at Belle Harbor To Be
Auctioned June IS.

Another great Belle Harbor auction sale
will be held on the premises on Saturday,
June IS, at which time 316 choice seashore
lots, on Park. Southampton, Ostend Dover,
Brighton, Essex, Norfolk. Washington and
Newport avenues. Will be offered by Bryan
L. Kennedy. The big success OF the auc-
ton sales at Belle Harbor held by Mr..
Kennedy last year conclusively proved the
large demand for real estate on the pop
ular Rockaway coast.
Belle Harbor occupies one OF the finest
locations on the Rockaway peninsula,
which Is about 300 feet wide AT this point
and is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on
the south, Jamaica Bay on the north, Rock
away Park on the east and NepOnsit on the
west The ocean beach at Belle Harbor IS
one OF the finest on the Atlantic Coast, and
is the attraction which brings thousands
OF visitors to the Rockaways In the sum
mer season.
In recent years the public have realized
that this seashOre section Of greater New
York besides being so much cooler in sum
mer is also warmer I'm winter than Man
haitian. and more and more families are
making Belle Harbor and vicinity their
aIl-the-year homes. The lots 10 be offered
are carefully restricted and fully improved,
residents having New York City police and
fire protection etc.
