A NATIONS TRIBUTE

Peonies and roses, and
 Lilies and peas Boxwood and violets and garlands of May Pansies and daisies. And dogwood and heartsease, Come your best dress and fragrance today. Bring to the graves of
 Heroes your homage; Over the dust of the brave wait your breath, Bloom by the tomb Of Immortal courage Tell of heritage by their death. Silver -tongued orators ASpeak the old story. Like some Demosthenes he green sward, When from the carnage, Emblazoned in glory Rolled home the ranks of the old Greoian Guard Tell of the marches the camps
 And the prisons, Speak of the fields and
 The swamps. where they He Dying alone meath the in the heavens, Kissed by the plying winds passing by, Talk of the banners they lost
 storning; Tell, defeated, despair, Speak of the pennant High lifted each morning.
 Each night unsullied, Old Glory still there this May morning,
 Beneath the suns beamng, Tender laying tributes of love
 On the green sed where Warriors lie dreaming, Waiting the call of the bugle above Pledge this day by
 Our lives station Never to suffer dishonor to fall
 On brave army, Navy, nation
 Nor on old flag that floats over all.

BUREAUS CONSOLIDATED
Highway and Sewer Depart
ments Now Under One Head.

BY effecting last week a consolidation
Of the engineering forces of the highway
and sewer bureaus in Queens Borough
President Connolly has made what is re-
garded as an important move in the
future development of the borough. His
action is indorsed by the larger developers
of the borough. inasmuch as il is agreed
that 1t will bring about a uniform and
reasonable development Of a large section
OF the borough.
With the engineering forces Of the
highway and sewer bureaus working in
dependently satisfactory progress was al
most impossible. Some sections would
have good streets and no sewers. and the
reverse would apply in other sections. The
system was not in the interest OF
economy
Under the plan proposed by Borough
President Connolly one section at time
will be taken up. Developers will find In
this plan a distinct advantage. in that
they will have to consult but one depart
ment.
Borough President Connolly will make
a requisition from the Board Of Estimate
for salary for a chief engineer, to be in
charge of the consolidated force. and ex-
poets that 1t will be granted. With a
chief engineer in charge, the efficiency of
the department would be greatly In
creased.

BEING TORN DOWN
Passing of Lawrence Estate
Mansion Marks a Phase
of City Growth.

The old Lawrence mansion, at River
dale avenue and Valentine Lane, South
Yonkers, is being torn down by large
gang OF wreckers. The passing of this
famous old home marks a most interest
ing phase of real estate evolution. Years
ago this estate was the country home Of
the we'll known Lawrence family and
was the scene OF many large social gath
erings and house parties.
The amazing growth Of New York
northward and of Yonkers southwark
has hemmed i'm this famous estate with
fine modern suburban homes and apart
ment houses. Some years ago the heirs
OF the Lawrence estate realized the in
evitable. and planned an, extensive de-
velopnent of the property. Beautiful
paved streets. with every modern city i'm
provement. were laid out through the
property, and this work was pushed for
ward rapidly until it is now entirely COM
pleted including even city lighting.
The American Real Estate Company
recently announced the purchase of this
property. and is about TO put il on the
market for sale. The southerly half vii!
be restricted to private houses. and the
northerly half will be devoted to apart
ment and two-famiy houses.
The property is easily reached by three
routes of rapid tran sit including the main

four blocks from the property and the
Sixth and Ninth avenue elevated trains.

The location is a very desirable one,

handsome homes. The property will uh-
doubtedly appeal to many investors, as 1t
