best located business properties in the

agents of this city and whose capable
MANAGEMENT OF real property has merlted
for them the large measure Of success
that is theirs, have full charge OF the

OF store or loft space in this part OF the
town will be well repaid by consulting
them as TO the available space to rent
and cost and terms of the leases.
At the northeast corner OF 02d street
and Fifth avenue stood about twelve
years ago a building which was for many
years known as the Hotel Langham.
Morton +. Plant bought the property as
q site for a home for his own occupancy.
The excavation work was about to be
done when Mr.. Plant purchased and inn
proved a large plot at the southeast cor
ner of sd street and Fifth avenue, with
a spacious mansion for himself. Subse-
ouently the late T.. II. Hartman became
the owner OF the corner parcel which
formerly was a part of the Hotel Lang
ham site. He. too, intended TO build a
dwelling house there which would be his
city home He changed his mind on dis
covering that retail trade was expanding
very rapidly in tho Fifth avenue district
and that it would not be many years be-
fore high class store and loft buildings
would be located in the section.

DECLARE BRIDGE
HURTS SHIPPING
Trade Board Committee As
serts Span Over Passaic
Boosts Lighterage Cost.

The increased insurance rates and
hindranoes to freight traffic caused
by the Jersey Central railroad bridge
over the Newark bay was discussed
at length yesterday by the rivers and
harbors committee of the. Board OF
Trade. A committee headed by
Joseph II. Wood, president of the
Newark Express and Transportation
Company, was appointed to draft a
formal concise statement of the in
convenience and nuisance created by
the bridge.
Discussion of the subject yesterday
brought out the fact, it is alleged
that insurance rates for vessels and
cargoes on the Passaic and Hacken-
sack rivers are high because of the
hazard caused by the bridge. 1t is
also pointed out that the bridge IN
creaSeS to a great extent the nght-
erage and shipping charges.
1t was stated at yesterdays meet
ing that a barge load Of sand could
be toWed to Yonkers from Elizabeth
port for So while to have it lowed
from the same port up the PaSsaic
would cost $25. This higher rate, 1t
was said, was caused by the obstruc-
tive bridge Mr.. Wood gave an eX-
PLANTATION of the obstruction to COM
merce and the tide of the river caused
by the bridge, as found by diver
employed by the committee to in
vestigate the conditions at the base of
the bridge. This was substantially
the same report as submitted by Mr..
Wood at the meeting of the New Jer"
sey Rivers and Harbors Commission
in the Elizabeth City Hall recently.
The committee is anxious to have
definite steps taken leading to the
permanent removal of the bridge.
The subcommittee appointed to
draft the statement consists of Mr..
Wood, John F. Kehoe Peter Camp
bell, Allan B. Wallace and William A.
Jones, jr
Another subcommittee was APP
pointed by the committee to confer
with the committee of the freeholders
on the proposed new bridge across
the Passaic river at Centre street.
This committee included Captain
C. H. Hasbrouck. John D. Miller and

The public welfare committee to-
day forwarded to the Essex County

survey of county roads made for the

not answered, the committee has
threatened to publish the report. :
