While the local real estate field ap-
pears to have been somewhat inactive
during the past six weeks there IL
at least one section that is booming
along in true mid-season style. This
section is the elevated tract known
as the Clinton Park South tract, and
while 1t has been growing steadily
for years is now witnessing one of Its
greatest building fevers.
On three thoroughfares alone there
are three dozen dwellings In the
course of construction. in various
stages, from digging for foundations
to finishing up for occupancy. On
Weeuuahic avenue there are fourteen
homes being built; on Pomona avenue,
twelve. and on Goldsmith avenue,
ten. There is another building started
on Vassar avenue. This makes thirty
seven dwellings In the course of cree
ton, while the Clinton Park South
Land and Improvement Company Of
fioials, who own the tract, declare
that arrangements have been made to
make the total fifty within another
month or two.
ALI of the homes are restricted one
and two-family dwellings. They are
for the most part finished off with
stucco fronts, in various colors. Tne
cream colored stucco homes present
an inviting appearance. while the
darker colored buildings look cool, be-
sides being strong enough to retain
the heat in the winter. While the
work is progressing at steady gait
the finished homes appeared 10 DC
well-knit, with none of that careless
finish seen in most homes built Tor
speculative purposes.

Company, of Jamaica, Long Island.

being erected on the recently pur-
chased plots by the realty concern.

material which is being used In the
construction of the houses. Any OF
the homes will be decorated to SUIT
the purchaser.
