Van Cortlandt Park train, get out at 2l2o
street and you are al the park.
There Is determined movement on foot
among the West Bronx residents TO have
this subway extended to the city line,
and resolutions have been passed by va
rious associations requesting the Public
Service Commission to carry out this
plan. But anyway, to-day when YOU get
out at 2l2d street station it is only a ter,
minute walk to 25sth street, or Mosholu
avenue. where the Forster-Schmitt prop
erty is. The Broadway trolley runs past

beauties of Van Cortlandt Park ana
Riverdale and the attractive lots of the
Fors;er-Schmitt estate. Go up to-day
and see for yourself.
For those seeking a sound speculation
as well as a home site. or an investment
all | can add Is this that to my mind IL
will be a great many years before the
New York lot buying public will have an
opportunity to buy at public auction AT
their own price lots having the combined
advantages of Van Cortlandt Park. the
subway almost to It's door, Broadway
running along one side of IL and River
dale avenue. which Will be a continual

Many Disputes About
Fees Settled Out of Court
Two Committees of Real Estate Board of Brokers Have
Helped Members to Escape Heavy Legal
Expenses.
ELISHA sNIFFIN,
Secretary Estate OF Of York

The last year has been one of great
progress for the Real Estate Board OF
Brokers. We have increased our active
membership by at least y per cent. We
have recently admitted as associate men,
bers the leading real estate exchange in
Berlin, Germany, also the exchanges Of
Providence and Denver.
In this country our associate member
ship is represented by the leading real
estate exchanges In every large city, and
we are i'm active communication OH real
estate subjects with representative houses
in almost every large city throughout the
world, showing the wide influence our
board now has In that worldwide COM
modify, real estate.
one very important matter nowadays
and of too frequent occurrence are the
differences between brokers, also owner
and broker. In a majority of cases,
think. these differences OF opinion are
well meant. It has therefore occurred to
me to mention two active committees in
our board, whose opinions are much
sought after.
one is the. brokerage claims committee
which at present consists Of Gerald r.
Brown, chairman; Charles 3. Kohler
William II. Benjamin, Thomas p. Graham
and William c.. Lester.
This committee consists OF one member
Of the board OF governors and four MEM
bers-at-large, whose duties It is TO en-
deavor to settle disputes between mem
bers and others in cases where members
are unable TO collect commissions claimed
TO be due.
II ii cannot bring about an amicable
settlement of the question. this commit
tee has power to take steps to have the
matter decided in court in the name Of
the corporation, through its attorney but
NJ the expense and risk OF the member
The members OF this committee serve
without compensation.
The other committee is the one on arbi
,ration. composed OF Walter Stabler,
chairman: william G. Adams, Warren
Cruikshank, John p. Kirwin and w. ].
Van Pelt. 10 whom requests for arbitra-
ton are submitted.
In all cases tried by the arbitration
committee q fee of s. must be paid 10

shoulder to shoulder with his brother. Tho
unorganized man is merely an individual
member OF a mob which is without lead
ership or logical purpose"
our organization thoroughly believes in
unity of purpose, and we propose to stand'
shoulder to shoulder on all matters for
the advancement of the right kind OF
real estate progress In greater New YORK,
and to that end We welcome into our rear
estate family the bright, active young
man of to-day who makes his living or
has decided to cast his lot with those VINO.
get their bread and butter out or mother
earth: for the future Of not only our CITY
but OF our entire country is In the hands
of the bright young mind of to-day.
In our particular field of industry he
can find much that is good to guide him
by becoming a member Of our board.
| might add that this also applies 10
those who have already made their mark
and feel that the right kind OF association
can do them no harm, but perhaps spur
them on to higher ideals.
As to real estate conditions generally.
the last year has not been very salts
factory one, but the underlying conditions
throughout our entire country are abso-
lutely sound
/ think we are going TO have gradu-
ally increasing business, eliminating in
the best ten years of prosperity this coun-
try has ever seen.
Money is easy. and. l think, will be
cheaper.
The large amount of rentable space now
on the market i'm both mercantile and
apartment buildings will soon fill up, and
the real estate investor will come into his
own again.
Real estate conditions in New York for
the last few years have been in state
of reorganization, due TO modern meth
DDS and conditions, but mostly 20 our
new transit situations, which has entirely
changed our map and its different bust
ness and living districts.
The city's system of financing can be
improved; other sources of revenue
should be devised than that OF adding
yearly TO the burden of real estate. The
proper adjustment will soon come along.
and / am sure the future of New York
realty Will be that of a gradual, healthy
progress.

Waterfront Values from
Navy Yard to Bay Ridge

The increase in the last year in the
value of Brooklyn waterfront prop
erty from the Navy Yard to point
a considerable distance south of the
18th street ferry is many millions.
The books containing the tentative
assessed valuations for 1918 of this
part of the waterfront of Brooklyn,
show that the taxable worth of the
property there of the New York Dock
Company is as follows:
for Ranu. .'.'''.''..''''. ''''..'.S lo'9'f'"o
For improvements. 9O56, i25

That sum is about $4,000 more
than the assessed valuation of the
company's piers buildings and land
for 1912.
