STATEN ISLAND NEWS
STATEN ISLAND SUBWAY
TO BOOM REAL ESTATE

New York is realizing that, as an
asset, Staten Island has not been
profitable, as the municipal ferry
has been running behind, despite its
splendid service. New York does
not want to build a subway to Staten
Island, but New York Is going to
build the Staten Island subway,
brokers say, because 1t will pay New
York to do it.
Judging by the increases in the
Bronx, following the construction of
the subway, the expenditure of ten
or twelve million dollars by the city,
Of dollars in taxable realty values,
on a tube under the Narrows, would
create literally hundreds of millions
because Staten Island land is at pres
ent very cheap. There Is no other
section of the city where subway
construction will produce as great a
change in conditions-nowhere else
where SO little money will create
such values.
"The greatest benefit will come
upon the land most accessible to the
subway entrance-that is to say,
within five or ten minutes walk"
said a prominent Richmond broker.
Land farther away will enjoy what
might be called reflex benefits, while
land within easy walking distance
will secure direct benefits.
"Subways IRE certainly the great
est value producers in real estate
that the world has ever seen, and
with the low prices now prevailing
In Staten Island, New York City
cannot afford to long delay these
possibilities into realization, because
she Is now spending several million
dollars more each year on improve
ments than she receives In taxes, and
there Is no other course-if she is
ever to turn Staten Island from a
liability into an asset.
IT would seem that the cheaper
the land that the city can reach with
a subway, the greater will be the
increase and, unquestionably, Staten
Island now contains the cheapest
land in all New York City"
