RESTRICTIONS UPSET
GEN. BRYCE'S PLANS
This Resulted in Carnegie Los
ing Him as One Of His Neigh
bors in This City.

I, looked not many years ago Is if
General Lloyd Bryce, formerly Minis
ter tc The Netherlands, would become
resident of the Highlands OF Fifth
av., and consequently neighbor Of
Andrew Carnegie. He was unable TO
carry out his plans owing to unfore-
seen circumstances.
General Bryce contracted TO buy
from Mr.. Carnegie through Herbert
A. Sherman site fronting 47.2,
100 feet east Of Fifth av.. as a plot
Tor new home. Objection to the
carrying out OF that contract was
raised on the plea that the entire
corner parcel at 9lst st. and Fifth sv.
was restricted against subdivision and
could be improved with only one house,
and that house would therefore have
to stand on an area oil ground lO0Xl47
feet, or. in other words, on the whole
corner plot. Mr.. Carnegie bowed to
the attitude of the objector and Cen
eral Bryce cancelled his contract. Later
General Bryce bought the premises 1920
Fifth av., 40Xl00, between SD and saith
SITS, and there built fine residence
General Bryce has occupied that house
with the exception of one year, when
he was Minister TO The Netherlands
In his absence abroad Vincent Astcr
was the lessee of tho premises

THE PLANNING OF
A DEVELOPMENT
Cutting of Streets and Lay
ing of Sidewalks Needs
Certain Foresight.

1t takes more tnan concrete and a
plough to make a successful suburban
development to-day There was a time
VIXEN the average suburban nome seek
er would look at a wilderness with a
few broken streets and picture in his
mind a naturalization Of his fond
dream. Nowadays it is necessary to
have plans and Improvements well
along before even casual attention is
commanded. With the cutting Of
streets and laying of sidewalks must
be . certain amount Of foresight. The
kind of foresight that eventually de-
yelops into livable community that
fulfls the practical requirements Of
the man who makes IL his home.
II prudence and consistent judgment
are not exercised az the inception of a
homo tract. unnecessary expenses are
cntailed later on TO cover up these in
accuracies of plan on conception. In
the fist place the developer Is con-
fronted with q proper street layout that
conforms 70 the city or country rules
of eventual appearance of the develop
mcnt, streets cut on proper grade, side
walks laid Of material that will stand
the ravagcs Of weather and the tramp
of feet, mains for water. gas and cleo
tricitv and the thousand and one de-
mlnds, all Of which are equally impor-
tant TO the comfort and peace of mind
Of resident.

Miss Lewis Expects to Duplicate
Her Recent Success as
Builder and Manager.

Miss Edna Blanchard Lewis, Of 800
Fifth av., is so proud of the success
achieved by her in building and man
aging the Remington apartments, in
Bayley av., South Yonkers, that she
intends at an early date 10 erect
similar house in the same section. IL
will not vary In the slightest detail
from her original venture in this line,
and she hopes to be as successful as
in the present undertaking.
The Remington is just north OF
New York City, and is located in a
most delightful residential section.
"On October :, the apartment house
was entirely filled with tenants" said
Miss Lewis TO a Tribune reporter yes
terday, in speaking about her success
and future plans. 1--WE were careful
TO see that plenty Of closets were In
stalled in the house, and, in addition
to that. that there were separate lock-
ers and storage places in the basement
FOR each tenant. We built for re-
fined and careful tenants, and our am
was TO make them so comfortable that
they would want TO stay on and on
from year to year. One of the most
attractive and interesting features OF
the Remington is an extra sun room,
facing due East. There are five WIN
dows in the sun room, so you can I'M
agine something of what II is Ike.
Some of our tenants are using this
room for a study, some for an extra
living room. or bedroom, and some
for an all-year-'round sleeping porch"

POWER OF QUEENS

ing Expansion.
NEW FACTORY EACH
WEEK FOR BOROUGH
Rapid Progress on the Transit
Links of the Dual
Subway.

William d. Bloodgood. VINO WAS re-
Gently elected vice president Of tho
New York Real Estate Association, is
firm believer in the realty future Of the
Borough of Queens. He says that per
sons living in other boroughs ere quick
ly becoming more familiar with the
rapid and substantial growth Of Queens,
both industrislly AID residentIally.
Regarding the factory expansion in
the borough Mr. Bloodgood says that
an average OF one new factory ~
planned each week for Queens even in
these times, when expansion is the eX,
ception rather than the rule. This, 20
turn, means the housing Of the working
population. On the completion OF these
new factories now under way many OF
the more important being the Loose
Wiles Biscuit Company, the American
Ever Ready Works, the National Cask-
ct Company and the large addition 20
the Ford Motor Company, there will be
an increase in the working population
by many thousands, for which living
accommodations will have TO be proviG-
ed in the next few months.
Mr.. Bloodgood desires 70 call atten-
tion particularly 10 the magnitude OF
the transit facilities now building in
Queens, the aggregate cost Of this
work being in excess Of S5000,000.
On September | the report of the
Public Service Commission was as fol
lows: Steinway tunnel, "a per cent
completed; extension of Steinway tun-
mel TO Bridge Plaza, p per cent; Bridge
Plaza transfer station, % per cent; As
toria extension, 100 per cent; exten-
sion TO Woodside and Corona. 70 per
cent; Liberty av. elevated, 81 per cent,
and Myrtle sv. extension 10 Ridgewood,
100 per cent. IL is expected that the
service for the Steinway tunnel will he
begun by February, 1913. This viii
mean connection with the New York
subway and will bring Queens within
five minutes of 42d st. and Fifth AZ.
The completion Of the Woodside, Co
roma and Elmhurst subway route will
also bring these points within a few
minutes of New York on a fye-cent
fare.
Mr. Bloodgood says the magnitude Of
these things is not fully realized now
by the public. When these lines are
completed many will regret their short
sightedness in not having investigated
Queens at this time.

Keewatin business men, according
to the Nashwauk Herald, are antici-
pating a busy season in the mining in

sumo stripping at the Quinn and
Bennett early in April and the latter
property is expected to- be- heavy

issippi which has been accommodating
for the last three years will probably
be, shipped and will give employment
to several steamshovel crews. The
Bray will reopen April and expects
to be a big shipper next season while
the St. Paul will also be a shipper:
John Butler, who has been in. charge
Of the stripping operations at the Ben

INTEREST IN WORK

Biwabik Times: 1t seems that the first
mine to be opened in the vicinity of
Biwabik will be on the east side of
town.
While the local people have been
watching the drills on the Higgins
land west of town another set of drills
have been busy on the land immedi-
ately adjoining the Bangor mine. Now
comes what seems to be an authori-
tative announcement that the first
shaft will be sunk in the immediate
vicinity of the Bangor, and that work
will start early in the spring. The
Steel people have all kinds of high
grade ore here. It is deep, and once
opened the continuous operation Of the
mine is assured, due to the water con-
ditions. The prospects Of mines be-
ing opened west of town continue, new
assurances coming from Duluth to

pose was to defeat Mike Boylan and
prevent the reappointment Of Ellis
Walsh as chief police. He
declared that Mike Boylan had
said he idnot want Ellis Walsh any,
how and would "give him to Johnson"
He said his opponents could keep right
on making him dumping ground, but
he wanted the people to know the
facts.
Attitude on Saloons.
Indicating his attitude towards the
saloons he said the story was being
circulated that he would compel all
the barber shops located in the front
of saloons to get new locations. He
said he had stood as member of the
city council for an ordinance prohib-
iting the brewing companies from SELL
ing beer to blind pigs but that it had
been defeated. He said saloons were
licensed to conduct saloons only and
not to run other businesses in con-
junction with them. He said the wide
open policy so far as the saloons of
Virginia were concerned was thing
of the past and indicated he would
give the saloons no more rights than
were granted them by the state laws.
This statement also drew forth a pro-
nounced demonstration of applause.
Will Be Good Loser.
Mr.. johnson concluded his talk with
the statement that if he were defeat
ed he would be the first one to con-
graduate the winner and say:
"Here is my hand, friend and neigh
Dor. I am with you.".
Mr.. Johnson was reartily applaud
ed at the close of his speech and gen.
orally congratulated at the door where
he passed his own campaign cards.

started on the Higgins land early in
the spring. 1t all this comes true BIZ
wabik will be some town next sum-
mer and right along thereafter. 1t
seems that the development is going
to begin in the immediate future.
I 1t is figured by local mining men
that next season will be unsatisfac-
tory to those operators who must find
market for their ore. It will be nee
essary to readjust, to meet the condi-
tons obtaining under the new tariff.
Practically no orders have been given
as yet for ore for 1914 delivery
Foundrymen are holding back, as
though they expected fall in the
price of ore. ~'.'>
