In reviewing Brooklyn real estate at
that l approach the subject with more
courage and greater pleasure than have
for several years. At the end of 1912 I
ventured to state that believed the bot
tom was near Now I am prepared to
state my belief to be that the bottom is
past
Great Improvements in transit for
Brooklyn are now pending. and their ac-
cOmplishment is now certain. Time only
is needed TO give the very best transit TO
Brooklyn.
] believe that during the next few
years the entire city is going 10 witness
a great transfer of values; that is. prop
erty will 20 up in many localities and de-
crease in other localities. Sections which
have been unduly doomed are going to
decrease and all land which has COM
paratively the same lines of transit will
sell on a nearly equal basis OF price. II
that condition is accomplished by new
transit my advice TO people with money
is TO buy in Brooklyn at once.
We collect interest of thirty thousand
different mortgages Our interest has
been paid better than II has been at
any time since 1907, and the total amount
Of interest We now have in arrears is
less than at any time since the panic OF
1901.
Our general business and the number
of titles which We are asked to examine
is larger than during the month of De-
cember. 1871.
New construction has been retarded. and
il dropped off 10 such an extent that the
effect is now being felt in better rents
and a greater capacity on the part OF
owners to pay their interest.

Electric Light Plant Machinery Ar
riVeS.

The machinery for the Light Plant
arrived last Saturday and was unloaded
this week. The shipment includes the
engines, dynamoS, motors, switchboard
and tanks, in fact all the machinery
now that will be necessary for the
erection of the plant,
The foundation of the building has
been laid and the work on it will now
be pushed and the machinery installed
as early as possible.
Mr.. Talbot. in charge Of the con.
Struction work is now stretching the
wires on the streets and thinks now
that the plant will be ready to put in
operation within thirty days.
The machinery just arrived has the
appearance of being in good condition
in every respect.
Work of wiring both business houses
and residences is under way now, and
those who expect to have lights would
do well to make arrangements to have
the wiring done as early as possible
now.

Down South.

After all is said and done, the out.
and.out newspaper reporter generally
does a better job, when it comes to
setting down facts, than the most
competent expert. 1t is because of this
generally recognized truth that a new
series of articles coming in the Country
Gentleman will be of peculiar value
and interest to the entire South. Bar.
ton w. Currie, who while on the staff
of the New York world made reputa.
ton as one of the most accurate re-.
porters in the country, recently jour.
neyed through the south and as re-.
suit of that trip has written these
articles which he calls Down South
The Era of Optimism and Opportunity"
For example:
Sectional feeling has crept back to
the mournerS' BENCH" writes MIR,
Currie, land many of the mourners are
so busy making money that they are
unconsciously becoming optomists.
1.-THE opening of the Panama Canal
and the consequent shortening of trade
routes will add another spur to in.
duStrial enterprise.
1.-THE railroads of the South are bend
ing all their energy to assist in a
healthy growth and direct attention to
the advantageous opportunity for in.
veStment in the South.
1.-The new currency law has arrived
at the psychological moment when Elk.
pansion of credit for both agricultural
and industrial activities was in i'm
mediate demand.
Again: when you can take mulatto
soil that was cropped for cotton for
fifty years until its fertility became a
microscopic quantity and its wealth fell
to one bail for every four or five acres,
and psoduce on it five tons of alfalfa to
the acre you have got something in the
way of an asset that invites the atten.
ton of all nations. When you can
take a sugar plantation that has pro.
duced cane for one hundred years and
raise record crop of rice on it, you
are performing practical miracle that
spells anything but disaster,
There are vastly better things in
store when we get down to the discus

ENGLISH AGREEMENT
Just Another Insult, He Maintains, to
Which He Has llecn Subjected-Ex.
cmption Declared Merely Form of
Subsldy-Contest on Again.

Washington. March 30.--President
Wilson declared that on account Of
the contradictory statements in the
Baltimore platform. the democrats
should have no hesitation in voting
for the repeal of the Panama tolls
exemption. Wilson emphatically char
acterized the exemption as subsidy,
and points out that one plank In the
Baltimore platform expressed opposi-
tion to any subsidy direct or indirect.
while another plank declared for
serted there should be no doubt among
democrats as to which should take
precedence.
Not Democrat Policy.
The president reiterated that the
exemption never was the policy of the
democratic house, because it passed
through coalition of republicans and
minority Of democrats. The majority
OF democrats voting against it on the
ground that 1t was ship subsidy.
Opposed Anyway.
Wilson explained that even if the
international situation. to which he
referred in the message, had not aris-
eli, he would have been opposed to
tolls exemption, as against democratic
doctrine. He indicated, however, that
if IL were not for the international
situation. he would not feel that 1t
was proper for him to question the
acts of the previous administration.
Wilson talked freely about the tolls
controversy In congress. saying that
the story that he entered into bar-
gain With ,Gfrnt Britain, through Sir
SsIIrlanT TSfrel.' -plivatE secretary 10
Sir Edward, was raised in congress
sional debate. In answering the ,Ques-
ton as to the truth or falsity Of this
charge. President Wilson said:
Another Insult.
"Of course that answers itself. 1t is
Just the crowning insult Of num-
Der OF insults which have been intro
duced in this debate. The whole thing
reminds me of a story I used to be
fond Of telling of very effective de-
batter. need not say whore this hap
pencd-who sent a challenge down
into Il country very hostile to him.
The people down there did not like
the job very much but put up the
man they liked best, and who is gen.
orally put up on such occasions, d
great, big husky fellow whom they
called Tom.
The challenger was given the first
hour of the two hours allotted for de.
bate, and he had not got more than
half way through his speech when 1t
became evident he was convincing tho
audience, when one Of TOMS Darti.
