MORE APARTMENTS
PLAN FOR QUEENS
Experiment Proves SO Success
full That Company Is to
Erect Large Ones.

Now that the dual subway extern
sions into Queens are being rushed TO
completion so that they may be opened
for service along with other parts OF
the system in October Of next year, in
vestors are turning their attention 10
sections OF Queens along the transit
routes where IL is expected consider
able profits will be made. Because OF
the comparatively low prices which
prevail in these transit-invaded dis
tricts. which will be only a few min
utes' ride from the heart Of Manhat-
tan when the new service IS IN opera
ton, investors with smaller cash
amounts than are required for opera
tion in Manhattan are finding many
opportunities.
Most interesting Of the recent
transactions was the sale last week
by the greensboro Corporation OF IN
Jackson Heights apartment house ..
the corner of Jackson Az. and 10Th ST.
Il was purchased by w. j. Munson and
!. ". Feeter as an investment. The
property was held at $4,000.
This house was erected by the
Greensboro Corporation on its Bar
clay Dugro tract largely "a an expert
ment. Il has been so successful that
the company will proceed with the
erection Of even more elaborate and
larger buildings. The Jackson Heights
apartment is FIVE story building with
two stores and nineteen four-room
apartments 1t was built according 20
a most attractive plan. Of the best
materials and finest workmanship, IN
an effort 10 show how fine apartments
Queens could offer at the lowest rents.
Prices OF from $50 10 $50 month
we're placed on the suites, and before
the building was completed last May
il was more than half rented.
One reason given for the popularity
OF the houses, besides their advantage
Gus location and pleasant surroundings,
is the establishment by the Queens
boro Corporation of tennis courts for
the use Of tenants and an attractive
private park with dancing floor and
bowling alleys.

WHY BUSINESS
IS MOVING NORTH
n. L. Ottinger Replies to I. W,
Slocum's Letter on Uptown
Movement Checked.

Nathan l.. Ottinger. the real estate
broker. has sent the following letter to
the real estate editor Of The Tribune:
In your issue OF July . you print a
letter from T. W. Slocum, president
Of the Wholesale Dry Goods Centre As
ISOLATION. In it he states that the as
ISOLATION has been successful IN
checking the uptown movement. ms
NAV be so 20 certain extent.
Ills statement, Real estate brokers
interested in uptown property arc try
ing ac?in to artificially organize an
uptown movement is IN all fairness,
TO say the least, inaccurate and map
propriate.
By uptown movement interpret he
means the midtown section. say 23d TO
seth st. Expressed in other words, IN
the honeycomb Of transit facilities.
This is the section where downtown
New York is moving TO not from
choice. and not on account Of artltlcia!
stimulus by interested brokers, but
simply on account OF the business
centre shifting nearer radical zone.
The Pennsylvania and New YORK
Central stations. Steinway tunnel,

tons. meeting north and south bound
subways. across 42d and 59th SITS; the
building OF the large piers, 46th TO o1th

chored propositions.
am only mentioning some OF the
important compelling causes that have
forced large business interests 10 seek
this location. The moving Is done IN
sclf-protection. 10 be near all these
facilities. which have clustered around
them the department stores, hotels
and places OF amusement.
To locate where the city lives and
throbs is the goal. Another genuine
reason for the uptown movement, com
bined with the above. is the need OF
modern buildings, which are lacking
in the lower part OF the city and which
are now being erected by people pro-
gressive enough to supply what IS IN
demand new buildings with area large
enough to adapt themselves to the re-
ouirements Of modern business.
n was acknowledged in a public
statement b. the head OF large dry
goods firm recently in difficulties that
the downtown firms were suffering on
account of the business moving away
from that section and The old firms
remaining were losing ground.
Already firms overstaying their time
in the downtown section have failed.
and many remaining will probably have
the same fate befsll them.
II is hardship for many downtown
property owners and business firms
that things have so shaped themselves,
hut it Illustrates the old truth: Time
and time wait for no man You can't
blame the brokers.

RECORD SUM IN
MORTGAGE TAX FEES
Receipts at Register Hop
per'S Office Since Jan
uary 81 ,705, 1875.

In the first scml-annual report OF
Register John J. Hopper there Is one
item that Will be OF special and graft
tying interest to the taxpayers OF New

tax bureau for the six months Janu-
airy to June so amounted to Sl,70o,-
195 o.. ;he highest revenue in it's his
tory for similar period. BY arrange
mcnt wiki banks and trust companies
Mr. Hopper received interest on daily
balances. which melted the sum OF
$S.72S %. The salaries of the bureau
officials for SIX months aggregated
S5.649 96. or S3.018 g less than the
interest allowed. Il will thus be seen
that not only is the mortgage tax de
partmant Of the Registers Office SELF
sustaining. operating without cost TO
the city and county. but ADDS some
thing also toward the reduction OF

The Legislature OF 1910 imposed on
the mortgage taE bureau the duty Of
collecting the half Of per cent from
corporation bonds issued prior 10 July

taxation. and the rcccIpts from this
source arc included III :he total above

Appellate Court Says De-
sCriptiOns from Maps
Are Adequate.
UPHOLDS OPINION
OF JUSTICE GUY
Ruling Emphasizes Difference
Between Country and City
Assessment Methods.

A case Of great importance 20 the
city has just been decided by the APP
pcllate Division Of the First Depart
mcnt. In several eases the validity Of
arrears Of taxes on real estate haze
been attacked upon the ground that
the description o. the property was m
ADEQUATE. In some OF these cases the
decision has been adverse 10 the city.
I'm spite Of these adverse decisions JUS
tice Guy uohcld the validity Of tax
lien in the case Of the Tax Lien Com
panv against Bird. This decision OF
Justice Guy was rendered IN 1913. II
has Just been upheld by the Appellate
Division.
at seems that the courts have been
misled By the theory that the assess
ment and taxation o. real estate in the
City OF New York is the same as in
country town." said Lawson Purdy,
president OF the Tax Board. Justice
Guy carefully explained the difference.
In The country town real estate -
listed in the alphabetical order Of the
names Of the owners, and the tax may
by collected BY proceeding against
the owner personally. In the City OF
New York the proceeding mas for
great NAM years been in rem. that is
20 say. the lien Of the tax has been valid
whether the owners name was correct
~ stated or not. In the country town
land must he described by metes and
bounds. whereas In the City OF New
York the land is properly described by
reference 20 tax map. The descrip-
ton by numbers referring to a tax
map is far more accurate and is en-
tirely adequate.
Justice Guy held that this New
York description by lot numbers is all
that is necessary. and the numbers
really import into the assessment roll
4 complete description by metes and
bounds as shown on the map, and such
description OF the Improvements as
may appear on the annual record
