COUNTY ADDED TO
ITS PUBLIC ASSE
Now Ready for Great Influx OF
Homeseekers, Builders, In
vestors and Operators.
BY ROBERT Y. TARLt>'
President Of the ScarSdals Estates.

The realty outlook for Westchcster
County during the coming year rs, In my
opinion. most encouraging. Wcstchester
County during the last few years has
been acquiring some wonderful assets
and advantages in tho way OF great I'M
provcments such as The Bronx sewer
The Bronx Parkway the New lorh'
Westchester & Boston Railroad. tho cleo
IRRIGATION OF the Harlem Railroad ana
New York Central. the construction OF
the Grand Central Terminal and the I'M
provements of highways. All these I'M
provements have already Of course
yielded large results, but few people J
believe. realize how great their influence
and power will be in the near future.
our own interests have had most
gratifying market during the last Few
years and during 1913, when general
conditions were by no means considered
good. we had the best market that we
nave ever had. with sales reaching a
total not far from one million dollars.
Westchester County. however, We may
say, has been passing through prepar-
atory period, and is now ripe and ready
i'm every respect for a great movement.
There are indications on every side OF
an increased interest I'm real estate in
this section, both on the part OF the
home buyer or the home builder and the
investor. and We believe that Westches-
ter is ideally equipped to meet the wishes
and requirements of both these classes.
My optimism I'm regard 10 the coming
year is based not only upon results that
we are accomplishing and signs and indl-
cations that we are constantly meeting
with in our business life. but it is based
TO some extent upon study OF economies
and OF the history Of real estate move
ments Of the past. With the tariff and
currency bills disposed Of, an encouraging
outlook i'm Mexico and the income TX
(Which. in spite Of all its faults, will I'M
questionaby work in harmony with the
best interests of the country there must
be. In my opinion, much better and
more comfortable feeling throughout the
country during the coming year, the lnllu-
ence OF which to considerable extent
must be felt by real estate.
As TO Westchester County real estate
particularly, we are better equipped than
we have ever been before TO bring West
chester to the favorable attention of those
who are thinking Of the country life, and
with a better condition throughout the
country generally, the wonderfully in
creased advantages Of Westchester County
and the better machinery we have with
which TO work, feel that we are justified
in being sanguine as TO the future.

REALTY PROGRESS
ON STATEN ISLAND
Owners and Builders Bene-
fitted by Efficient Work
of City Officers.
VALUE OF SHORE
PROPERTY RISING
This Section of the Greater City
Has Reached the Apartment
House Age.
By Cornelius g.. kolT

When one takes into consideration that
the Borough OF Richmond has doubled It's
population I'm the last twenty years ana
the fact that the annual amount % build
ing foots up to more than 5000. 900. those
Interested in Staten Island have good res-
son TO look forward TO the year 1914 with
great deal OF confidence and enthusiasm.
Tho progress In tho Borough Of Rich
mond has been satisfactory from any
viewpoint you may take
Values I'm some sections have advanced
moro rapidly than in Others. and in some
have even gone down. The same expert
ence is had in every other community.
Values in real estate huctuate all over
the world but as long as there IS gen
eral upward tendency matters are in a
satisfactory state.
This holds good on Saten Island. where
the vigorous municipal administration
now retiring from office has done a great
deal toward the general improvement OF
the borough. although in some cases the
burdens have rested quite heavily upon
the backs Of those who were financially
weak Standards Of efficiency and prog
ress. however. have been established, and
the incoming administration will be con-
fronted by the serious question whether
TO continue the policy OF progress. inn
provement and concurrent burdens or
whether to adopt a policy along conserv-
ative lines, which sometimes spells mac
tivity.
II is with the Borough Of Richmond no
longer the question. What we would like
to do or What we would prefer to do. -
but what we must do. IL we desire TO
keep up the march of progress with other
sections Of the great city of which We
are component part" The progress
made in transportation facilities, in con-
struction Of streets, sewers, water supply.
gas supply. the opening of new thorough
fares. the erection OF public buildings, the
introduction of an excellent street clean
ing system are all elements which have
had their effect in raising the values of
property in tie Borough of Richmond.
The industrial development of the Dor
Ough continues TO claim a large share
OF the attention of these who believe
that in the industrial development lies
the future prosperity OF the borough.
Accordingly every effort IS made TO pro-
mote the industries of the island
In this direction the construction of a
railroad along the west shore OF Staten
Island from Holland Hook TO Totem
Vile should claim the attention of those
who have either the development of that
section at heart or who desire 10 make
an investment which promises good re-
turns.
On the Jersey shore Of the Staten Isl
and Sound. where there is q railroad,
land has jumped in value from $1,000 an
acre to 5000, 5000 and $1,000 an acre,
while on the Staten Island shore land is
almost forced upon buyers at from 81 900
10 $3.50 an acre.
The commercial waterfronts are COM
ing into their own and are getting the
recognition they have long earned.

BETTER OUTLOOK
FOR THE FUTURE
Closing of 1918 Showed a Steady
Improvement in Business.
BY ALBERT u. AsHFORTH.

The last year. in the opinion OF oldtime
real estate men, has been the worst in
their experience since the 70s. The poll
tician's idea OF attaining the height or
his ambition by using the busted trust"
as n stepping stone TO It has had the
effect Of curtailing speculation throughout
the country. and real estate in New York
has particularly felt the lack of it,
There never has been a time in the his
tory Of our city when real estate was so
thoroughly censored. In fact what with
the Fire Department, Building Depart
ment, Tenement House Department, Fac
tory Inspection Department. etc. IL is
censored TO death and the lot of the real
estate owner during the last year has not
been a happy one. The cloud on the horl-
ION represented in the Sullivan Short bill
will not be blown away, and the real
estate interests must call upon every re-
source at their command to fight II this
year
The closing Of 1913 has shown slow
but steady improvement in the volume OF
transactions While most Of these trans
actions that have been closed have been
trades. the magnitude OF some of them
leads one 20 believe that we have reached
the ebb I'm poor business. and the tide Is
slowly turning 90 a more favorable out
look for the future.
Let the wish OF the new year be that
the political powers will hold out the
hand Of encouragement 10 honest business
rather than attempt 10 throttle it at its
inception.

AN EXPERTS VIEW

BY J. CLARENCE DAVIES.

Since 1905 real estate i'm The Bronx has

II has caught up and gone beyond the
values o. that year. but there has been
no marked rise since that period. in spite
Of the fact that the actual population has
caught up and gone beyond the intrinsic
values. In other words, the last five or
six years have been waiting periods with
property values, with a few EXCEPTIONS
dragging on the bottom.
We have about got to the end of that
period, and 1914 particularly the latter
part. will be the beginning of the term.

Extensive Real Estate Operations
Anticipated Throughout the
Greater City.
BY BRYAN J. kENNELLN.

There are three great reasons why the
auction market for 1874 ought TO appear
strongly TO the investing public.
/ Transactions in the salesrooms in the
last and some previous years have put
the metropolitan auction market upon an
equal plane with the worlds great III
vestment markets. In which capital can
be placed 20 the best advantage and with
a certainty Of ready transferrence into
cash at the investors option, usually with
a good percentage Of profit.
New York, in company with the coun-
try and the world at large. has passed
through a severe financial depression
which has shaken all investment .securl-
ties 10 a rock bottom level, from which
there is every indication Of a substantial
recovery.
New York, independently of the coun-
try and the world at large. has placed
itself in a position through gigantic
rapid transit undertakings 10 double and
treble the value OF vast areas OF lahd'
thus creating a situation which Is sure
TO invite farreaching development op-
erations. with attendant speculative and
investment participation. all of which Will
raise its real estate market above any
conditions which may prevail in other
investment markets
With the metropolitan situation thus
IN shape for another forward movement
the auction market promises TO take
more prominent place in all sections than
ever before. 1t has become a standard
investment place. Hundreds Of capital
lists both small and large. who used to
invest elsewhere, are now transferring
their money TO real estate. They like the
public auction manner Of trading. They
find the auction market 50 broad and
receptive that it appeals 10 them as a
measure of protection for their opera
lions They are ready TO use it on
large scale for both buying and selling.
Their participation alone will add breadth
and solidity to salesroom transactions.
We know the progress made in rapid
transit construction and how fast is APP
preaching the time when home centres Will
be transformed by the new dual subway
linesi when the wonderful service for
Queens Borough, especially in Long ISL
and city. will make that great section

The phenomenal success OF the office
buildings on 42d street and the adjoining
streets has done more to sustain the real
estate market in these trying times than
anything else that has happened The
opening Of the new BiltmoTe Hotel. the
completion OF the Stelnway Tunnel and
the extension Of Park avenue around the

opinion as TO where future business is TO

There are few desirable sites left in
this section where large concerns could
find land enough for their needs outside
Of the property Of the New York Central.
The Lincoln Bank Building, which Is oc-

The general real estate market has been
duller during the year 1918 than. proba-

years, not excepting 1907 This has been
