DEMAND FOR LITTLE FARMS
Acre Plots at Small Cost at Anna
dale Sought After.

ono ~ tho nnosa successful sales OF the
season has been Wood, Harmon x cos
sale Of acre piots at Annadale. Their
previous success in marketing Little
Farms drst at Princess Bay and later at
Apnada!c. led them to believe that there
WAS a genuine demand on the part OF IN
vestors for fair size plots at little prices
partjcularlz- as the Land was in and part
Of New York City.
Acre plots at Annadale were the north
erly half Of a large tract which was
bought by this firm for the purpose q
creating their little farms. These little
farms were highly improved with art-
METAL stone sidewalks. etc, and planted
with a profusiOn Of fruits, flowers and
shrubs, shade trees, perrenials, otc., the
idea being that each purchaser Of little
farm could summer ON his place, getting
real benefits while waiting for the in
crease IN price.
The acre plots c.nbody a rather diff
ferent idea. viz: that OF selling TO those
whose main object in. buying was to hold
Tor an increase in vahie. As the increase
comes necessarily in toe value Of the land
and not in tie improvements it IS better
that the investment should be concen-
trated IN the value Of the land itself and
that practically none Of the investors
money should go for paying for improve
mcnts. In other words. let every dollar
invested buy one hundred cents worth
Of land.
As q result. these acre plots al Anna %
dale found ready buyers at $1,000 and
81. 200 each--about sd for a city lot,
bearing out what the concern has said
that Staten Island real estate is literal
" the cheapest Thing in al New York.

HOME FOR GRADY
NURSES PLANNED
Sixteen Sets of Drawings Sub
mitted for Proposed New
$4,000 Structure.

Definite steps were taken today look
ing to the building of handsome $50,
000 home for the nurses of Grady hos
pltal. to be situated on the hospital
grounds.
Sixteen sets Of plans, submitted by
as many architects, have been placed in
the hands of Or. w. B. Summerall, the
superintendent and from these the plan
Of the new home will be chosen. The
officials of the hospital will be aided in
their choice by an advisory architect,
whose services have been engaged for
this purpose.
The officials contemplate home that
will comfortably house SO nurses. When
it is completed the corps of nurses.
which is now abnormally small, win be
Immediately increased to meet the de-
mands Of the hospital This will mean
the realization Of a long needed i'm
provement in the efficiency of the insti-
tuition, the present shortage Of nurses
having proved serious problem for a
long time.
Plans are expectedto be selected with
in the next few days. after which the
matter will be taken up with the city
council with the view OF procuring an
additional appropriation before actual
work of building begins. Only a small
appropriation is now available.
The Grady nurses have long sought a
new home and are enthusiastic over the
preparations started for the new struc
ture. The present building is an old,
ramshackle, overcroWded affair that
has been in use for years and falls far
short Of the requirements of real
nurses home.
I'VE are planning for the future as
well as the present" says DIR. Summer
all, and want to erect such home as
will meet the demands of the hospital
az it grows and forces an increase in
the corps of nurses in coming years"
