Some time ago several owners drew a
petition which they sent to the owner OF
the property in which is the busy bee.
The petition explained that this owner
was Jeopardizing the fee value and store
and loft value OF the block. 1t was said
that some threatened to hold him ac-

that he had leased his place. which ad-

Not satisfied with the honey in the
form Of money harvested in Ann street
busy bee restaurants have started up IN
other business sections 10 the delight
OF the errand boy and those whose
tastes run to cheap food, and to the
discontentment of storekeepers and
property owners. Busy bee restaurants
have spread from Ann street north.
south. east and west through the city.
The Wall street district has them, so
have Fifth avenue, Broadway, the Sec
ton north of Washington Square, the
Sixth avenue shopping zone, Seventh
avenue and many other places. Two
years ago Ann street. the birthplace OF
this type OF restaurant was tho only
place where busy bees were 10 be found.
The demand from sections far from Ann
street for food lot of which may be
had for little money was borne on the
air to Ann street and in consideration
OF this demand places have been estab-
hshed outside the precinct of faker-
VILE, as Ann street Is often called.
The coming OF busy bees was not OPP
posed by owners. for the reason thai
few knew the influence that these
hustling, busting food emporiums have
on the neighborhood in which they
locate. But owners in the sections in
vaded know now. They look on busy
bees as the farmer does a locust pest.
They are considered destroyers OF land
value and the trade Of neighbors not
IN the same line OF business. Real
estate appraisers don't hesitate TO say
that land values have tumbled In every
block in which busy bee has made
hive. One appraiser, man who has
had much experience, was asked in re-
Gard 10 an appraisal he had made in a
block south OF Twenty-third street In
which there is a busy bee restaurant If
the loss was as much as 80 per cent.
He answered that the depreciation he
allowed for the coming OF this restau-
rant was considerable.
In this block there are twelve vacant
stores They are on the same side az
the busy bee and most OF the vacancies
are close to the hive. OF course this
block was on the downward path be-
fore the busy bee lighted there. De-
partment stores had gone uptown ana

ing these stores even at greatly re-
duced rents have been lessened since

year ago. Since then tradesmen VINO
