QUEENS MODEL HOUSES
Apartments Being Built Along
Roosevelt Ave. Dual Subway.

The Roosevelt avenue dual subway In
Queens will open up land so near the
centre Of Manhattan in minutes as TO be
almost downtown and will permit the
erection OF modern apartment houses ar e.
fording plenty Of sunshine and pure air.
with the latest improvements amid at
tractive surroundings.
This building movement which IS 10
spread along the route OF this subway
has already been started by the Roosevelt
Avenue Building Company, Inc. on the
Barclay Dugro tract, in the Elmhurst sec
ton OF Queens.
This hgn. level tract OF land lies across
the line Of the dual subway route and ex-
tends one and one-half miles from the
Woodslde Union station eastward into
Elmhurst 1t IS being developed with full
city street improvements by the Queens
boro Corporation and is becoming a most
attractive field for builders as the subway
approaches completion. The construction
of the block OF buildings by this company
is begun at this time owing to the great
demand for accommodations by the thou

WANT CEMETERIES TAXED
Several Associations Formed in
Queens for Such Purpose.

Several taxpayers associations Of
Queens have started a movement to Sc
cure Legislation that will compel ceme-
teries to bear their proportion of assess
ments for public Improvements in their
districts They do not bear any part Of
the expense Of the construction and main
tenance Of highways and the building Of
sewers under the existing laws. and in
some instances in the I'd Ward the Gene
teries have occupied more than half of the
total assessment district for recent i'm
provements. but the burden was borne by
the small home owners. IL is contended
by the leaders in the campaign that the
cemeteries use the roads more than the
other property owners
The conditions were brought to the at
tention Of the Legislature at its last ses-
sion. when a hin was introduced TO equal
ize assessments and compel the cemetery
corporations to pay their share, but II
was defeated. II is estimated that the
passage OF a bill compelling the cemetery
corporations to pay their share would re-
duce the assessments of other property
owners by $1,50O.OOO.

Island shores. II is impossible to esti-
mate accurately the manifold benefits
which such connections will bring 10 this
great section Of the city. The more we
are brought in closer touch with suburban
New Jersey and Long Island the greater
will be the realty vigor Of the old York
vile section.
The Lexington avenue spur Of the sub
way is expected TO stimulate realty buy
ing in a much larger degree than in re-
cent years throughout the entire section.
The subway places the great theatrical
and shopping centres Of Manhattan on a
direct line with the Yorkvlle district.
Besides. the subway will make It possible
for hundreds Of families living in the
Yorkville hathouse sections 10 more quick
ly reach the various fourishing centres
Of upper New York, especially in The
Bronx.
Within recent years the upper Park
avenue section which is one Of the most
delightful residential parts Of Yorkville.
has undergone a big transformation. 1t
has been changed from an inaccessible
dwelling house region into one Of the
strongest and most popular apartment
house areas OF the greater city.
Its development along these lines is
just in the initial stage, and when the
Lexington avenue subway Is in operation
IL will be superbly located as place Of
residence. For years II suffered from the
noise and smoke nuisance of the old Park
avenue tunnel But with the changing
of the motive power of the trains using
the tunnel from steam 10 electricity the
smoke and noise nuisance was removed.
What is needed. and ii may not be
very long before il becomes a reality.

ALFRED VANDERBILT HERE
Comes from England with Wife
on 1O-Day Business Trip.

Alfred G. Vanderbilt, accompanied by
his wife. arrived here yesterday from
Uavre on the French liner France on a
business trip which he said would last
for ten days.
The couple left their six-months-old
baby abroad as they feared to risk his
health with n change Of climate. Mrs.
Vanderbilt explained that when they
came here again in July the infant would
accompany them. Mr.. Vanderbilt was
anxious 10 learn If Sir Thomas Upton
had modified his challenge for the Ameri-
cas- Cup. He said he was firm believer
in the sincerity OF Sir Thomas. and de-
clared that any suggestion that he chal-
Ienged chiefly for business advertising
was in no way warranted.
on Sunday when the France was a day
out of iIavre she encountered thick
weather, which. the passengers declared.
brought her unpleasantly close to the
Uranium liner Campanello. which was
steaming west dead ahead. The France,
IL is said was making twenty knots at
the time. and passengers were thrown
from their feet when she swerved sud-
denly TO port. The Campanello it is
said. also went to port, but later veered
TO starboard.
According to Captain Poncelet and the
officers on the bridge. the Campanello was
at least half mile away.
