for shaft fifty feet deep. which is
being sunk to the side OF the ledge
proper. The contract further calls
for drift OF fifty feet which will cut
into the ledge at the 5O-foot station.
Should the values prove up as antici-

and another crosscut run out.
a lot OF trenching is also being

SUCCESSFUL LOT SALES.
Big Estate Offerings Disposed
of in Old Year.
BY Joseph p. Day.

The year 1912 was ushered in with the
auction market rather quiet. The prob
able reason for this was that trustees
OF large estates did not feel that it was
the right time to sell in the face of an
unsettled condition OF politics-this being
Presidential year with a possibility of
change-and also on account of the dis
solution of some large Industrial cor
porations by order of the Supreme Court
However, there We're several large estate
offerings. among which were the George
W. Adams estate and the Samuels es-
tate. On March 2S great public interest
was displayed in the sale of a parcel at
Broome street and Cleveland Place,
offered by the Public Service Commits
sion, which, after 3i7 bids, was purchased
by a large candy manufactures.
During May there were a few offerings
OF development tracts i'm the suburbs Of
New York City. which were sold with
more or less success. Through all this
period of uncertainty plans were being
carefully formulated for Offering at auc-
ton what was destined to be the greatest
lot sale OF its kind in the history Of
New York or any other city-the Van
Cortlandt estate sale i'm Riverside-sixty
acres cut up into 7l9 lots.
Summer colncident with which was the
usual dull period, was followed by the
offering OF the Forster-Schmitt proper
ties. which took the courage of gen.
Grafton OF experience To decide to put
on the market. To a man, those who
were approached on the subject, whose
opinion in regard to lot offerings was
OF any value decided that il would be
mistake to attempt TO sell this property.
Not alone were We close 10 the election,
which created more or less excitement
on account of its being Il Presidential
year but we were right in the midst Of
the great police scandal. As a conse-
quence, it was the general opinion that
il would be next to impossible TO get
the attention of the public with so many
matters to divert the mind. Yet the
Forster-Schmitt sale brought $7s2,925 for
463 lots. an average of N,7lO lot, and
was conceded TO be the last word in
real estate advertising and efficiency in
organization I'm the conduct of a tire
mendously successful sale In the face of
such odds.

parent early in the year. for the adverse
conditions which surrounded 1925 mar
ket are still with US, and il general busi-
ness slows up because of tariff Legislation

My own impression is that by fall the

If other lines of business grow active and
prosperous the effect cannot fail to be
felt in the real estate market and enough

spite of them.
Every year that goes by makes 1t more
plain that whatever may be said OF the
real estate owner. the wise lender on

most comfortable position of any investor.

nicipal or railroad, during the last fifteen
years has been very disappointing.

Though Trading Was Below
1911 Mark, Demand for
Mortgage Investments
Exceeded Supply.
rs Clarence II. Kelsey, President Of the
Title Guarantee and Trust Company.

The real estate market for the year 1912
has been disappointing Fewer deeds and
mortgages have been recorded in greater
New York than during 1911. Estimating
N the end Of the year. the statistics for
New York and Kings only show 1852
deeds and mortgages recorded In 1911, as
AGAINST 4 .625 for 1872
These records indicate that. as is usual
" the case. real estate is behind other
limos Of business IN recovering from
depression.
II was hoped that 1912 would show a
marked Improvement and indicate that
the conner had been turned. 1t is believed
,hat Il would have done so but for some
unusaa. conditions that are holding it
hack These are not so much the in
creased rate OF interest that mortgage
borrowers have been forced to pay ever
since 1877. or even the Increased taxes
which each year has imposed upon the
real estate owner. but. more important
than either Of these. the obligations and
expenditures that are being forced upon
all classes Of real estate owners by the
activities Of the various city departments
the Tenement House Department. the
Buildings Department. and particularly
the Fire Prevention Bureau
There has undoubtedly been large
oyerproduction of loft buildings. and this
has come at a time when the owners OF
them are being ordered 20 spend large
sums OF money i'm alterations and i'm
provemeuts To comply with the more Sc
we're regulations which have been put into
force in ever increasing numbers since
the disastrous fire on Washington Place.
None of these Improvements seems 10
bring the landlord any greater rent; in
fact. ne is quite likely 10 lose rent while
he is making them. and the competition
for tenants. with the supply of space
greatly exceeding the demand, has made
the return on loft buildings generally UNI
satisfactory and has brought disaster to
many owners.

FAITH IN THE BRONX
Its Strength as Safe Invest

HAS BLOCKS OF NEW HOUSES
Largest Building in Future Will
Be Along Transit
Lines.
BY J. Clarence Davies.

The last year in The Bronx has been
one Of quiet, steady growth, such as had
been predicted. No booms in certain Sec
tons. No marked rises in values. Just
steady building up of the district along
the same lines as In previous years.
This growth is most marked along the
lines Of present transit facilities-that is
to say, along the present elevated and
subway lines.
Along the line OF the Third avenue al"
extending up to Bedford Park. as It does.
few, if any, bare spots can be seen that
are not parks or owned by institutions
The large areas of vacant lots which ex-
listed up to few years ago are no longer
seen.
tenement houses and as thlckly populated
as some OF the crowded sections OF Man
haitian are in evidence, and it Is only
when one gets to the end Of the line at
Bedford Park that the semi-suburban dis
trict is apparent.
The same can be said OF the line Of the
subway, up Westchester avenue and
Southern Boulevard to West Farms and
lSth street.
While few areas OF vacant land still
exist near the end of the road. the major
part of the district, along the subway, Is
thickly populated.
This brief description of tho district
along transit lines is proof Of what Is
patent to any one making a cursory ex-
animation. That Is. that The Bronx has
developed into what Is practically solid
city as far as subways have been COM
pleted. and is only waiting the building
Of new lines or extensions Of the present
lines TO continue this development.
That the building and operation Of new
lines about three years hence will open

the entire Broadway block front between
Barclay street and Park Place. will repre-
sent q good sized city in itself when Its

Some idea of what was required of tho

that 1900 tons of steel were used IN its
construction. Seventeen million bricks
We're used, enough 10 pave a roadway
thirty feet in width from the building to

are eighty-seven miles of electric wiring,

Of the work involved for the architect so.

plumbing pipes, 5000 pounds of bronze
and iron hardware 5000 hollow steel
doors, II miles of marble trim, y miles OF

cubic yards of sand and 1900 cubic yards

REALTY Record OF 1912 and OUTLOOK

up an immense field for buildings goes
without saying.
That this development will follow the
present lines along the elevated and sub
ways seems only reasonable to expect
That the trend of dense population
will follow along this development is per-
fectly natural, and this means that a
dense population for The Bronx the
same as in Manhattan is to be expected
That this growth or development will
be retarded or in any way interfered with
by the growth in any other district. such
as Queens. Kings or Richmond, as many
assert, is ridiculous to one knowing and
having experience Of the last twenty-five
years to guide him.
When the Brooklyn Bridge was opened
1t was said that all the people working
south Of seth street would live in Brook
Ign. When the other bridges were opened
Greensboro Bridge was opened they were
all 10 move TO Queens.
When the McAdoo tubes and the Penn
sylvania tunnels were completed they
were going TO New Jersey and Long
Island, and in spite Of all this The
Bronx has kept on growing faster and
with a better class of population so far
as real estate is concerned, than any
other district around New York.
Even this present year 1t is estimated
that the growth Of population IN The
Bronx Is between fifty thousand and SIX
ty thousand people.
Thousands OF new buildings have been
built and filed with tenants. In the bust
ness centres improvements have been
made, new tenants have come in, the de-
partment stores and other lines OF bus
ness are doing more business than ever.
Other new business centres are forming
es the population increases. New thea
tres are being erected in every part OF the
district. Outlying sections where the troll
ley lines are running and new lines opened
are feeling tho effect, and there are more
demands for apartments and a steady
growth in building.
All this shows that the trend OF popu'
lation is stronger than ever northward'
and nothing can or will interfere Win
this as long as transit facilities are az
forded to take them from and TO the busl-
ness centres.
A number OF new factories have been
erected and factory sites purchased dur
ing the past year. A number Or new III
dustrics have beer started.
All the above has given confidence in
The Bronx as "A field for real estate in
yestment -
The public are like the man from Mis-
souri They want To be shown, ana hen
they look at The RrcnX with their own
,ycs-at the wonderful growth year after
year-they are surprised at the strides
made.
