one can assume this is but temporary.
As in comparison with other invest
ments, now. as never before, the Sc
curity and stability of the New York
City mortgage stand out, all things
considered, above any other form OF
There is present need for
necessary changes in the method OF
making and disposing of mortgages,
but this is a condition which VIII nave
to be cared for later.
"The stability of real estate and
mortgage investments is indeed appar-
ent when one considers that within a
period of a year one of the most
sought.for stocks listed on the Stock
Exchange has declined from $3.50 a
share to $50. Any such shrinkage is
not possible in mortgage investment.
The dividend derived from mortgage
investment averages higher than does
the average stock investment, and FUR
thermore and of greater Importance
is the fact that the owner of a mort
gage has his security entirely within
his own control. He has no officers
or board of directors in control OF the
present and determining the future OF
the investment.
"While it is sincerely to be hoped
that the present conflict will be short
ly ended, | feel real estate owners and
mortgage investors are in much more
secure position financially, all things
considered, than those who have chosen
other forms. Weighing all considera-
tions carefully, there is nothing TO be
feared. To a certainty, many who are
wise and shrewd will take advantage
of the present situation and secure
investments from which large profits
will result"

STONE ROOFS ARE
COMMON In MALTA
Some Are 800 Years Old and in
Perfect Condition, Says
Consul Laing.

Stone roofs are very common in
Malta and give excellent service, &C
cording to Consul James Oliver Laing,
Of Valetta. The custom is an ancient
one and is continued because stone
roofs are cheap and durable. 81 have
seen such roofs here three hundred
years old and perfectly good" he said.
Large beams of wood were used in
ancient times upon which to lay the
stone. The beams were about 10 by Z
inches. Steel beams about the size of
an American Trail, but a little higher,
are now used.
"The stone native limestone is
usually about four or five inches thick.
The pieces are joined closely together
and set in cement. A thin line of
cement is also spread on top of all
joists. The roofs are fiat, with just
enough slope for drainage. The stone
does not wear out and the only repair
necessary is a new covering of cement
for the joists once in a while.
"Unless they are walked upon twenty
years sometimes elapse without repairs
cf any kind TO the roofs. They have
the advantage of being absolutely fire
proof"

Rockland County Electric
and Gas Companies
Asked to Unite.
AUTHORIZED BY
p. S. COMMISSION
Will Help Places Along the
Lower Hudson and North
ern New Jersey.

The upstate Public Service Commits
sion has authorized a reorganization
and consolidation of electric and gas
companies in Rockland County, which
will have far-reachng effect IN the
improvement and extension of gas and
electric service along the west shore Of
the lower Hudson and in towns in
Northern New Jersey. The Rockland
Light and Power Company is author
lied to issue s463, 900 of capital stock,
the proceeds of which will be used to
purchase the Rockland Electric Com
psny and certain outstanding notes Of
the latter concern, as we'll as to cover
certain unfunded debt of the former
company.
In addition, the Rockland Light and
Power Company is authorized TO ac-
quire controlling stock in the Rockland
Electric Company of New Jersey. Thus
recognized. according to the opinion
of Commissioner Martin S. Decker, on
which the case was decided, the prop
erty will be in far stronger financial
condition, both as concerns its present
operations and as to future better
ments.
The companies thus authorized TO
consolidate, while serving adjacent
territory, are not in any sense compel
ing. A territory of nearly two hundred
square miles will be served by the new
concern, affording large additional IA
cilities of growing industries along the
lines of the several railroads running
through and for the large residential
sections. improvements TO plant and
service will be provided for out Of
issues of new stock.
The consolidation, in addition TO pro-
vidng a frmer financial basis for
the corporations concerned, will also
result in large savings in operating ex-
penses. For instance, the generating
Ilants Of the two New York State COM
panies, at 0rsngeburg and Hillburn,
will be connected by a transmission
line and operated in conjunction with
one another. The Hillburn plant, which
will become the main generating sta
ton for the system, will be largely ex-
tended, the Orangeburg plant being
maintained as an auxiliary.
among tne COMMUNITIES 70 DC al
fected BY the merger are the villages
Of Haverstraw, West Haverstraw,
Spring Valley. Nyack, Upper Nyack,
Grand View, the towns of Stony Point.
haverstraw, Ramapo, Clarkstown,
0rangetown and the unincorporated
village of Thiolls.
In New Jersey the improvements will
affect Hillburn, Suffern. Tallman. Ho-
hokus, Orvil, Franklin, Mahwah,
Wykoff, Ramsey. Alandale, Cragmere,
Saddle River and Upper Saddle River.
The commission in its order pro-
vides for a careful system. whereby
the tangible fixed capital Of the COM
ranies will be reduced and the in
tangible amortized.
