Bayside To Be Scene of
Lively Realty Buying

at from $40 a month up. One brokerage
firm has rented eighty Bayside houses
since April 1.
Up-to-date houses in attractive sections
are readily sold at Bayside for about $500
each. Smaller houses of this class bring
proportionately less.
There are a number OF cottages there of
seven rooms and bath on plots OF 40xloo
feet now ready for the sales market at
$500 each on easy terms. The reason
these houses are so low in price is mainly
due to the lateness Of the sales market for
improved suburban property. The houses
are within a walk OF ten minutes Of the
Long Island Railroad station and q little
less time from.th bay frontage.
II think the new electric service. SAID a
well known broker to Tribune reporter
last week, rs going to help US consider
ably. We have on our books the names
and addresses of hundreds of people who
have promised to become buyers or resi-
dents here as soon as the electrification
work was done. Now that 1t is completed
we expect to hear from the majority OF
them.
II feel certain that we will do larger
real estate business next spring than we
have ever done before. There are many
reasons why we should do such busi-
ness
THE changing of the motive power on
the Long Island Railroad not only greatly
reduces the running time Of trains be-
tween Manhattan and Bayside, but II puts
an end to the smoke and coal nuisance OF
the steam trains. Electric trains are also
run with less noise than the old type
steam cars. The abatement OF this null
sance ought in itself bring about a large
increase Of values of all properties ada
cent TO the right of way Of the road or
, near to It,
"Bayside is q charming rural town at
the threshold OF Manhattan. Its drawing
power to city people is we'll illustrated by
the large number Of commuters here Who
are prominent in trade or professional
channels OF New York.
Eve have a splendid frontage on the
| waters Of Long Island Sound.
"Our growth has not been due to boom
action. 1t Is true that within the last
eight years we have grown very rapidly.
But our upbuildng can be traced almost
TO these three factors-the vastness OF
green fields and the rural grandeur here,
the nearness of the place to the centre OF
New York and to the healthfulness OF
the town.
Many persons who visit us and who
have only a slight knowledge OF the
makeup OF the metropolis are surprised
when informed that we are a prosperous
part of the city, and consequently enjoy
all the publ. utilities and conveniences Of
| the great city. They are mostly surprised
when so informed, because on every hand
one is reminded here Of many famous old
country settlements.
I'VE have splendid roads here leading
north, west and south, and also 10 the
bay front which are well patronized ~
auto parties daily. And from Bayside to
| New York thousands have been spent in
recent years in improving the public
highways. making an automobile ride TO
and from the city an enjoyable one"

Within the last few years Flushing has
been rather quiet from a real estate point
OF view. General conditions throughout
the real estate market have been well re-
fiected in this old town, now one OF the
greater city. OF late. however. there have
been number OF clear indications of
revival OF building and buying activity In
every part Of Flushing. 1t seems as II

AT THE HIGHEST POINT
Fine Views of City May Be Had
from Great Neck Hills.

The owners and residents Of Great
Neck Hills. adjacent to the southerly part
of the Great Neck station appreciate the
four great points OF advantage OF their
location.
First is the high altitude. The Hills oc-
cupy the highest point surveyors say,
along the Long Island Railroad, and the
view OF Manhattan, the bridges over the
East River and the long stretch OF coun-
try extending from the New Jersey PAIL
SADIE to the south shore Of Connecticut
on a clear day, is superb.
In speaking about the charms OF Great
Neck Hills a resident OF the place said
TO a Tribune reporter last week: This Is
fine suburban development. just outside
the city limits. and the people here have
advantages many other suburban colonies
do not possess. They enjoy lower taxa
ton, and their municipal improvements
are all in their own hands.
The place has. for example. munic-
ipal water supply, furnishing excellent
artesian water. at high pressure. to the
highest part Of the region. This gives all
residents excellent soft water for domes-
Nit phi pob'o anu ~ wafer
service which makes the fire protection
the best to be had.
THE region Is likewise well supplied
with several public utilities. Gas was in
stalled the present autumn.
THE Great Neck Hills Country Club is
one of the features of Great Neck PENN
sula, and its tennis and bowling tourna-
ments nave attracted wide interest
THE people in this locality are very
proud OF the fact that they are situated
directly within a block or two OF an ex-
press station-Great Neck being sta
ton on the Long Island Railroad at which
ali trains stop Those who have bust
ness or whose engagements take them TO

| The acreage Is small but choice. Its resi-
dents now number between one and two
hundred. They have charge OF their own
affairs, there being a Great Neck Hills

and conducted by the residents. Thus the
property is no longer a real estate enter
prise, but an established community. with
its club, its social pleasures, enjoyments
and prosperity.

Many Experts Prophesy That
Next Year Ought To Be
a Record One in This
Respect for Town.

Prominent real estate men and property
owners OF Bayside, Long Island, are look
ing forward to a brisk building and rent
ing season next year, as well as one OF
the busiest sales periods in the history Of
that town. This roseate outlook for this
delightful suburban community is largely
based on the benefits TO accrue from the
new electric train service on the Port
Washington division of the Long Island
Railroad, which will go into effect next
Tuesday morning. The opening of the
electric service is 10 be celebrated In a
gala way by Port Washington and many
other towns along the line on next Sat-
urday afternoon.
Bayslde Is one of the nearby suburban
communities with a fiourishing and rap
idly expanding retail shopping centre.
This year large block OF business build
ings was constructed by the Dayton Con-
struction Company as an investment. 1t
is one OF the model blocks of its kind in
the suburban area.
OF late exchanges Of real estate have
been the feature at Bayside. Plots have
been traded for well located houses in
nearly every section of this town.
The Bayside Building Company was one
of the principals in a number of large
exchanges. 1t recently exchanged houses
for lots In the Penwood section, near
Little Bayside Road, and in 10th street.
near the Lawrence Boulevard.
1t also traded houses for lots at Ash
burton avenue and Sd street.
The vacant property which the company
acquired in the Penwood section is part
Of a famous newspaper colony region. 1t
will be improved with artistic bungalows,
and will thus become a notable addition
10 that part Of the town. 1t was recently
said that about twenty-five bungalows
would be erected in that part of the town
next year The houses are to cost from
5000 up.
The mortgage market is expected to be
much more favorable next year for the
carrying out OF large suburban projects
Of the speculative order than IT has been
in many years. IL such market appears
then over one hundred houses OF the best
type In the residential class will be put
up at Bayside next summer.
There are now only four houses to rent
in the well located home sections OF Bay
side. Brokers who make speciality or
Long Island suburban property say that
that shows what a good demand there is
for houses in the town. Scores OF dwell
ling houses have been built there within
the last few years.
Many brokers also report that the rent
ing season last spring at Bayside was
notable for its nervousness
The usual rental obtained for nicely
built small houses in the town is about
$40 a month. The best type OF suburban
dwelling houses there find ready lessees

In regard TO the effect OF the new train
service on realty developments I'm Flush
ing, one OF the leading real estate men
said TO Tribune reporter last week
Flushing is bound to grow much bigger
along the most improved building lines at
an early date. 1t cannot stand still 1t Is
ideally located. and that alone is going
TO prove to be one OF It's most priceless
assets with each successive year. II is a
healthful place, too, and much has been
done In recent years to drain the marshy
lands fronting on the bay and along the
creeks. Hundreds OF breeding places OF
mosquitoes have been removed
I'VE have splendid sewer system, an
excellent and adequate water supply and
everything one could desire In a place Of
this kind.
AS regards rapid transit. we have been
well taken care OF. Beginning next Tues
day, we will be on the great electric ex-
press train service OF the Long Island
Railroad. In few years we will be
within the dual subway system OF the
greater city.
For years the majority OF residents OF
the town have been hoping to be con-
nected with the subway routes of New
York a week ago last Friday they saw
the beginning of the realization of this
hope, when the Public Service Commits
sion approved OF project for the extern
sion of the subway route to Corona
through the heart of Flushing as far as
Bayside.
THE subway line will extend through
Flushing In an open cut. North OF Flush
ing will be elevated. The aim OF the
Flushing Bayside line will be TO serve
properly not only the present residents of
those two places, but also TO help open
up new territory adjacent to the line
The fare on all parts OF the dual subway
system will be five cents"
There are no railroad grade crossings
in Flushing and as a result there are
no longer any serious delays to vehicular
traffic in Main street, great business
section OF the town.
Amy one who has made any study OF
suburban colonies knows, and those who
have not given the subject thought will be
quickly told upon inquiry, that the one
problem overshadowing all others is that
of drainage" says the writer OF an arti-
Gle about Flushing, the Premier Sub

shoulders and arms Tuesday after
noon while attempting to save his
automobile from his fathers burn
ing barn. Mr.. Sandercock went into
the structure when the inside was
enveloped in flames and after much
difficulty succeeded in getting out
his automobile, but it was at the
risk of losing his own life. DR.. F. w.

go at that time. Isaac was rushed
to the doctors office where the burns
were treated by the family physician.
One of the fine horses belonging
to Humphrey Sandercock was burned

fore it could be rescued the fire
reached that part of the structure,
cutting off all means of escape
