HOW WILL YOU VOTE?

If you're satisfied with road conditions of the pres ent you should vote against the county road improvement
 district March 25 but not your place is among those who favor this improvement and method of securing T roads Don't be frightened by the size of $65000 spent under this system to acadamze third of all the
 public roads in this county when in twenty Jack son county will spend more than that amount under three mill road tax and have neither roads then If $675 OOO is large amount of money to spend,
 it's also big amount to be brought into this county and
 put into circulation here This $675OO0 of borrowed
 secured from the sale of bonds sold in various parts
 of the country must largely be spent in this county

LITTLE PESSIMISM THERE
Few Dissatisfied Operators IN
Long Island Transit Zones.
BY A. ". KELLER
Manager of Jamaica North.

In the real estate field in Queens ana
Long Island we find that conditions per-
nit of little complaint. although some
operators are dissatisfied. What we have
passed through is. in my mind, only a
passing cloud before fair weather.
Queens has much that should attract
investors besides its natural location ana
advantages. Transportation in It's most
modern ana complete form is being added
10 what has already served to make TINS
section one OF the most popular among
homeseekers and investors There is no
reason in the world why property III
Greensboro should not feel the effects OF
the millions Of dollars spent by pubic
carving companies. With the various
lines now under construction or already
completed, little imagination is required
70 see the wonderful possibilities that eN-
tst This belief is not entirely my own.
In the last week / have talked with
several we'll known developers, and their
ideas as to the future of this section par
ticularly around Jamaica, bear out N!
opinions.
Much has been said and written regard
ing the situation in Queens, but taxing
all in all, the new year is bound TO De
the best we have ever known.

in May, 1919 was S3sOO0,010, an increase
of $50 per cent d year on the original
investment. The average value Of lots
in The Bronx in 1890 was $3.50; in 1885,
$3.50; in 1900 5000; in 1865, $1,000 in 1910.
$500. 1t was the realization by the public
OF the possibilities of these excellent real
estate investments that brought about the
sales records that were made in 1913.
In the early part Of 1913 one of the
largest sales of tenement property was
started by the marketing of the Cunning
ham estate. This comprised seventeen
parcels and brought a total OF s632, $50
from a crowd that packed the Nesey
street salesroom to the limit OF its ca
pacity.
For a time the market ran in the usual
quiet channels. with the continuous sell
ing of small properties and the offerings
of various estates. This continued until
the first news of the Morris Park sale
broke out I'm the news columns.
This is one of those historic events that
are not likely to be soon forgotten, mainly
because of the number of new records II
made. Three thousand and seventy-one

Taken in the aggregate. 1918 was a bet

predecessors. II was reported from all
i'm some manner the volume of business
kept mp very nicely. and some real estate
sales were made that were large enough
to go down in history as having never

cesses would have been impossible il the
general public did not realize that real
estate, after all. constitutes the best and
safest investment known TO handsome

able that increases in value with the
increase In population, and that forms a
great portion of the tangible wealth OF

CHIEF IMPROVEMENTS
TO BE PERMANENT
No Foreclosures in District and
All Sales Have Brought Sub
stantial Increases.
BY JAMES =. EAD!E.

Recent reports disclose the fact that
building operations in the Borough OF
Manhattan during the last year have de-
creased at least 80 per cent. In spite OF
these discouraging conditions and the
scarcity Of money in the loan markets, as
we'll as the general depression in real es-
tate interests all over the city, the sec
ton between nth and 3lth streets west OF
Eighth avenue, generally known as the
Chelsea section, has been the scene OF
many Improvements, running into millions
OF dollars, during the last year, these i'm
provements being permanent rather than
speculative in character; and, while there
have been foreclosures of mortgages and
properties being purchased by the plain
tifs in many sections OF the city, there IS
not available any record Of property hav-
ing been sold I'm this section which has
not brought n substantial increase over
any mortgages existing thereon; IN fact.
foreclosure sales i'm this section are al
most unknown. The permanency Of the
improvements in this section is amply
demonstrated by the erection of the eleven
story building covering the entire block
from 18th 10 18th street, between Tenth
avenue and Marginal street. by the Ma
tional Biscuit Company, which will occupy
the entire premises, added to the fact
that this building has been erected on
easehold property.
In nth street, between Ninth and
Tenth avenues, new three story buildings
have been erected having d frontage of
90 feet, and these buildings were leased
before completion TO responsible tenants.
These buildings were also erected on
leasehold property.
In 10th street, between Tenth and Eley-
enth avenues the Baker Williams Corpo-
ration has erected a ten story storage
warehouse for their own occupancy, on
plot l25x100 feet, and in which they will
have no more space than they can utilize
for themselves at all times This is in
addition to the t00-foot building already
occupied by them

enth avenues. the Moore estate erected for
