OPTIONS ON LAND
IN SEWAREN NOT.
. RENEWED AS YET
Time to Renew Options on
Land at Boynton Beach
Expired Yesterday &C. D.
g Boynton in New York Today.

The dream of the mammoth steel
and iron works at Sewaren in the
near future was dissipated this
morning when it was learned that
options on land at that place held
by Witherbee, Sherman and Com
pany, during the past eighteen
months, have expired at the county
clerks office. Whether this Is the
final intention of the corporation,
or whether they will renew same
shortly could not be learned at
their New York offices today
The reason for the corporation
allowing the options to expire, 1t Is
declared, is because certain financial
interests they counted on in finan-
cling the project of a Sewaren steel
and iron works, recently repudiated
the proposition. G. D. Boynton,
representing the Boynton Real
Estate Company, which owns the
larger part of the land that was
under options, is in New York today,
it is understood, in conference with
officials of the company. He could
not be located at his office. Nj.
Boynton stated Tuesday it was
doubtful that the corporation would
continue the options.
Real estate dealers, however, have
not given up hope that some time in
the future steel and iron works viii
be located at Sewaren, because of the
excellent features for such an indus
try along the Staten Island sound at
that place. 1t is pointed out that
tbs company may not feel disposed
to continue the expense incurred by
continuing the options when they
have no definite idea when it will he
feasible to finance the project. Some
real estate dealers believe that the
project Will only be dropped temper
arily, as they say that the Boynton
Beach tract will likely remain intact
for some time to come, as it has
done for years, and that when con-
ditions warrant the corporation at
that future time may cuiminate their
proposed plans.
The options on the Sewaren tract
included about 175 acres. 1t has d
waterfront of 900 feet north from
Woodbridge creek along the Staten
Island sound. Most of 1t is owned
by the Boynton Real Estate Com
pany, though there were small op-
tions on tracts of A. G. Brown, David
A. Brown, SewaTen Realty & Invest
ment Company, the Acker tract, Nc
Wicker tract, and a tract owned by
the Motor Vehicle Marine Construc-
tion Company. The options which
expired were last renewed April / =,
1914, for six months.
