is pure and Of good quality, derived
from driven artesian wells and pumped
directly through the mains.
There is complete sewerage system
OF the most modern type, and at pres
ent there are no houses along the lines
Of these public sewers Which are not
properly connected. Privy vaults and
cesspools, heretofore such menace to
public health, are things OF the past.
"The roads are of hard macadam sur
face, curbed and guttered; streets drain
into large public storm water sewers
and prevent the accumulation and stag
nation of water in street cutters
throughout the entire borough. This
sewerage system is continued to low
water mark, thus preventing the accu-
mutation Of sewage along Staten Island
beaches and waterfront.
"No outbreak of contagious or cpl
demic diseases of any kind has ever
occurred on Staten Island.
"The Department OF Health exerts
every effort to maintain a suitable and
efficient inspection of all public school
children as we'll as of private schools.
This has been one of the most effective
means of preventing the dissemination
Of contagious diseases.
Infant mortality and general NOR
tality in the Borough of Richmond are
less than in any other county IN the
State of New York"

SEEK TO IMPROVE
LONG BEACH ROAD
Estimated That 500 Autos an
Hour Pass Over Highway
on Sundays.

Owing to the unusually heavy vehic-
ular traffic over the highway known
as Long Beach Road, in Southern
Nassau County, movement has been
launched to have the road widened
to 100 feet and rebuilt Some persons
favor an entirely new highway from
a point between Freeport and Rock
Vile Centre southwest to Long Beach.
The Long Beach Road is fifty feet
wide, and extends from the Merrick
Road in Rockville Centre south
through Oceanside to the beach. 1t
is one of the most heavily travelled
suburban highways in America. AS
many as 1900 automobiles an hour
pass over it at certain periods on Sun
DAYS. The lure of the sea and of re-
sorts skirting Hampstead Bay are the
cause of most of this traffic. Auto
mobiles from Hampstead, Garden City,
Floral Park and the north shore reach
the ocean front by way of Long Beach
Road; consequently a wider highway
is now necessary to accommodate the
traffic, while an additional highway
would relieve traffic pressure by di-
NefJlng IL.
The estimated cost of building a
new highway is 100000, while the
cost of rebuilding and widening Long
Beach Road would be considerably
less. A new highway to Long Beach
would pass through 0ceanside the
same as Long Beach Road does, and
that section is now undergoing ex-
tensivc development and improvement.
The Long Island Railroad has built a
new station at Oceanside. Consequent
ly, If Long Beach Road we're improved
and a new highway built, they would
benefit all property in 0ceanside and
Rockville Centre, as well as making
the ocean front more accessible.
Nassau County, however, does not
want to pay all Of the cost of these
proposed highway improvements, be-
cause automobiles from everywhere in
and adjacent to New York City travel
to the ocean front of the county. 1t
will urge the state to make the i'm
provement.

ELLSWORTH AV, ADJOINING BROADWAY CITY LINE
BIG PROFIT ON SALES
Kaiser Family Dispose Of ia
maica Landmark Property.

The old Crawford Hotel, a landmark
in Jamaica, at the corner Of Fulton
and North Washington SITS, passed
into the possession of John McGloin
and John NJ. Wilson at price which
has aroused much interest in realty
circles.
About fifteen years ago the Kaiser
family, consisting Of John and Sarah
and their son Joseph, purchased the
Richard Brush estate, a frontage of
SO feet on Fulton ST.. extending back
5S9 Il. on North Washington ST., for
$4,000. McGloin and Wilson have
contracted TO pay $4,000 for the cor
ner, extending 40 feet on Fulton st.
and 81 feet on North Washington st.
Prior to this the Kaisers sold twelve
lots fronting on North Washington st.
at an average of 5000 a lot. Thus
their fifteen-year investment has
brought them in something like
E72,0O0 They retain a mortgage for
E2s,000 on the small corner lot, which
is almost twice what they paid for
the entire tract.

THE MARBLE CITY
OF WHOLE WORLD
New York Uses Most of the
Stone Brought from For
eign Quarries.

New York, not Athens or Rome, is
the marble city of the world, says
"The Edison Monthly"
1t is estimated that annually !ap-
proximately $1,400,000 worth OF for
eign marble is brought into this coun-
try in the rough. This stone, when
manufactured, or finished for build
ing work, is worth more than $4,000
600. Of this total importation So per
cent enters this country through the
port of New York and is finished in
New York. And, of course, the greater
percentage of the finished product is
used for constitutional and decora-
tive purposes in the metropolitan dis
trict. Indeed, New York is almost the
only city on the entire country that
can afford to build with marble at all.
How we'll New York can do this,
however, is illustrated by the fact that
in a private residence in Fifth av. a
marble staircase has been constructed
that alone cost its owner approximate
ly 100000. incidentally, the marble
work in this particular residence is
valued at S1,500,000.
Hardly a public banking or com
mercial Office building is erected in
Manhattan without a liberal amount
Of marble being used in its construc-
tion and decoration.

SANITARY WORK
ON STATEN ISLAND
Marsh Land on Southerly
and Westerly Shores
Thoroughly Drained.
NO MOSQUITO
BREEDING PLACES
Infant Mortality Less than In
Any Other County in State,
Says Physician.

Staten Islands elevation makes it an
ideal locality from a sanitary point Of
view, says DR.. J. T. Sprague, assistant
sanitary superintendent, in an article
in the new booklet of the Staten Island
Chamber of Commerce. There is thor
ough, natural and continual drainage
from all sides. This prevents stagnant
pools of water. The soil is of a per-
vious character, which allows rapid abb
sorption.
"On the southerly and westerly shores
of Staten Island are large areas Of
marsh lands" says DR.. Sprague. ain
years gone by they were great source Of
annoyance, being prolific in propagat-
ing the mosquito. Early after CONSOLE
dation of Staten Island with greater
New York DR.. Alvah H. Doty, then
Health Commissioner of the Port of
New York, had an elaborate survey
made of these entire meadows. He OBJ
tanned the money and men TO undertake
the work of draining these extensive
meadows. They are now ditched through
their entire course and are so COM
pletely dried up that the salt hay is
easily harvested. Mosquitoes-at one
time Staten Islands greatest drawback
are now positively exterminated. The
Department Of Health has kept gang
of men on the island constantly oiling
the mosquito breeding ponds and pools
which are not accessible or possible TO
drain. 1t may be safely said that both
the salt water mosquito and malarial
MOSQUITO are exterminated in this To-
cality. During the last two or three
wears we have not had case of
malarial fever reported to this depart
ment. There has been no typhoid fever
developed on Staten Island for a num-
Der of years.

servation by the Department of Health,
and samples are taken every week and

of Louis XVI. Decorations throughout
the interior OF the building arc OF the
same period. There is provision Tor
extra rooms on the top floor oil the
building.
A special feature Of the arrangement
of the apartments is that nearly all
of the bedrooms are on the open court,
thus insuring quiet 20 the rooms. All
apartments are well provided with light

structed apartments, with private en-
trance on West Seth ST., for occupancy
of dentists and physicians.
THE floors are divided into suites of
from seven to eleven rooms, with two,
three or four bathrooms. Rents range
from $1,000 to $4,000, and the rentals
include yearly cost of refrigeration,
vacuum cleaning and a liberal electric
light allowance.

Labor Department VIII
Not Enforce All Pro-
visions of New Law.
NEXT LEGISLATURE
TO GET AMENDMENTS
Organization Considers Results
Already Obtained Most
Gratifying.

Owners Of factory buildings in New
York City and throughout the state
will appreciate the importance or the
announcement recently made by the
Real Estate Board of New York that
such orders of the State Labor Depart
ment as are likely to be amended VIII
not be issued or enforced by the de-
partment.
The Real Estate Board, through
George W. 0lyany, analysed some
weeks ago the proposed recodihcaton
of the labor law and presented speeihc
recommendation for amendments 70
the State Factory Investigating Com
mission. Such recommendations only
were made as the board believes TO be
proper and reasonable, and this WORK
was done in a spirit of cooperation
with the Labor Department and the
State Factory Investigating Commits
sion.
This matter has beer further taken
up with the officials, with the co-opera-
ton of Abram !. Elkus, chief counsel
Of the State Factory Investigating
Commission. As a result il is prae-
tically agreed that the Labor Depart
ment between now and the convening
Of the next Legislature will not issue
or enforce orders covering such por-
tions of the labor law as are likely to
be amended.
The suggestion is therefore made
that if the members of the Real Estate
Board will present to the board orders
which seem to be too drastic, and these
orders cover points Of the labor law
for which amendments are likely 20 be
allowed, the matter will be presented
to the Labor Department and such
proper and reasonable relief as the
conditions allow will undoubtedly be
granted. -
The Real Estate Board considers this
the most gratifying recognition OF the
sort of constructive work 1t has been
irving to do in the interest OF SOUND
business in New York City and also,
of course, in the interests Of It's menu
bers. In this suggestion to real estate
owners and its members the Real rs
tate Board is not dealing in vague
generalities, but feels reasonably sure
that orders which the experience OF
the last few months have demonstrated
to be unnecessarily severe will receive
serious consideration when the time
for amendments comes, and that IN
the interval owners will not have 70
be harassed by the enforcement OF sucn
orders.

IDEAL PLAYGROUND
Structure Occupies Entire Block
at Seth Street and
Broadway.

This is the epoch OF great apartment
houses. Everything that can add one
iota in making the living problem sim
pier, more attractive and yet more lux
urious seemingly has been incorpo-
rated.
In this city, where land in central,
accessible localities is almost worth
its weight in gold" one can hardly eX-
pect to find prof of great apart
ments doing more than furnishing mag
nificent buildings. But there are some
houses, one of them being the Belnord,
, where the seeker after a distinctive
home finds the rarest of city home COM
binations-a perfect apartment and the
charm of a beautiful garden spot. The
Belnord, occupying an entire city block
at Broadway and seth St, IS built
around an artistic garden, comprising
over $4,000 square feet of smooth
walks, grassy banks and beds of palm
and fragrant blossoms. What an ideal
spot for recreation and repose after
the business day or active social round!
A miniature park, as much the country
as though the city streets were miles
beyond, is there. What a real play
ground for the childrenl
And this feature OF home life in the
Belnord is but one distinguishing feat
ure of this most complete apartment
house. 1t is surely a big stride in
bringing the freshness of nature to
help mans skill produce a perfect home
Of the most popular kind for the city
dweller.
The Belnord is twelve stories. 1t is
easily reached from all parts of the
city. A subway station is at seth st.
and Broadway, and the Amsterdam and
Sixth av. surface car lines, and also
the Broadway and AID st. line, pass the
sdoor. The elevated station at Colum-
bus av. and Seth st. is only one block
