accomplished without recourse to the Leg
islature method Of procuring power
which apparently is distasteful to the
trustees. a suit has been Instituted win the
end of obtaining a decision as TO the right
of the trustees to do this In order TO raise
the necessary funds to improve other por-
lions of the farm"
The original boundary lines Of the
farm" which the trustees wish 10 make
more productive to the Harbor have been
changed at a number OF points, and they
are no longer exactly as they were when
IL was set apart for the support OF old
sailors. What are now Fourth and Fifth
avenues and Aston Place were public boun-
DIARIES. but Broadway. the great Broadway
was not then important enough to cut
straight across Captain Randalls yard. II
stopped at the present Astor Place on
the south side a highway known as Green
witch Lane meandered across from the head
of Broadway, being a continuation OF As
tor Place. in diagonal direction TO
point at the present intersection Of Fifth
avenue and Waverley Place on tho north
side Of Washington Square.
1t was in 1906 that Broadway was carried
across the yard Of the old brick homestead
whose site vas opposite the present Wans-
maker store. The trustees marked of the
property in conventional 25-foot lots and
i'm 1895 and 1896 the city opened the present
streets and closed up the old lane that haf
served so long as country highway 10
Greenwich Village. The opening Of Stb, sth
and 10th streets across the diagonal touud-
airy lines OF the farm spoiled number Of
good lots which had been 80 feet deep by
slicing off their ends 20 a greater or lesser
extent. Buildings were left Jutting into the
street. As time ran on several cores were
acquired to straighten out lot lines. There
still remain. however. two or three short
slanting lines. 10 show where the original
boundaries OF the farm lay.

TIME FOR A NEW POLICY.

The time Mr. Hepburn thinks, has come
when a new policy should be adopted for
the welfare of the estate, and, after read
ing his remarks one is also led 10 con
clude for the city. Until the present mo-
ment. Mr.. Hepburn points out the ground
lease" policy which the administrators Of
the estate adopted has worked we'll So
successful has II been that the accumu-
lated income Of the property enabled the
trustees not only to meet the assaults upon
the legality Of their position, but to create
the magnificent institution upon Staten
Island so familiar 10 us all to care for
many thousands Of sailors and to erect a
few large buildings upon the former farm
for investment purposes"
In all these years none Of the land de-
vised to the trustees has been sold. There
is no power to sell. I'm the early days Of
the institution, the trustees reached the
conclusion that II would be desirable TO
sell a portion Of the land, and applied to
the Legislature for authority TO do So" II
was granted in 1888 with proviso that
three additional trustees be appointed by
the Governor. The famous Dartmouth Col
lege decision, in the winning Of which
Daniel Webster played such an important
role, was fresh in the public mind, and the
trustees concluded not TO take advantage
of the opportunity. considering the cost too
great.
Times have changed During the last
few years" says Mr.. Hepburn, evidence
has accumulated that some change in the
financial policy Of the trustees must be
adopted So long as the lands in question
were desirable chiefly for residential pur-
poses the ground lease policy Of the
trustees proved wise and beneficial. A
private residence is not very costly TO
build (unlcss you have the wealth and
tastes Of Senator Clark, and tenants
were willing to erect private houses upon
leased grounds. OF late years, however,
the character Of the neighborhood has

: buildings are too costly for erection upon

changed, and the land has become desira-
BILE for business rather than for residen-
tial purposes. That fact has been recog-
nized by the tenants. and a majority OF
the buildings upon the leased property
have been altered from private dwellings
to an inferior class Of store and loft
buildings. Such buildings, for the most
part, are not and cannot be used for de-
sirable class of business. because business
of the more desirable classes requires
much more floor space than is afforded by
a single lot and stronger and better build
ings than these old private residences.

business buildings adequate to the de-
mands Of the present day, because such
