OPPORTUNE TIME
TO BUY REALTY
Lawrence B. Gilman
Thinks Substantial Re-
wards Will Result.

In discussing the real estate situa-
ton Lawrence B. Gilman says the
small number of properties which have
been foreclosed is splendid sign OF
the strength Of the market.
Speaking further on the subject yes
terday, he said:
ain fact. the foreclosures have been
very few and far between, and nardiy
more than would be normal at TINS
season of the year, but the owners nave
fully appreciated that we were gong
through an extraordinary period, ana
one in which it would be impossible 10
obtain any fair price for their holdings,
either real estate or other securities,
and have bided their time until general
business conditions improve. with the
reopening of the stock and other eX-
changes it is now possible TO llquidate
these securities and make 1t possible
to purchase real estate. In fact, dur
ing the last month we have had very
large sale pending, but the purchaser
was unwilling to complete it when II
was found impossible TO get any fair
price for his Stock Exchange securities.
with the revival of trading en- the
Stock Exchange, and with an undoubted
Improvement in general business con-
ditions, ! believe there will be a great
deal more money invested in some or
the properties the owners of which are
most anxious to sell. In this class
would put some of the speculative
builders who have completed invest
ments of the best type, both apart
ments and commercial structures,
which are now fully rented, and who
are naturally anxious to market their
finished products in order to start
other enterprises. There are number
of these properties which will show
better than 9 per cent on the invest
ment which are now being offered, and
many of them are in excellent locations
which are bound to improve in value.
1--WE therefore look for better in
vestment demand during the early
spring months than has existed for
some time past, and / believe that any
one who will make purchases on the
basis on which some of these proper
ties can be bought at present Will be
substantially rewarded by a very ma
terial increase in value during the next
few years. OF course, the sooner these
purchases are made the greater the re-
ward will undoubtedly be, as with the
revival of purchasing, and the removal
of some of these properties from the
market the remaining ones will un-
doubtedly be increased in price, and
while | do not look forward to any big
buying movement, I believe that there
are enough wise people living in New
York to realize the opportunities which
are now offered TO remove from the
market some of the best investment
offerings now being pressed for sale"

to be big room, generous, welcom-
ing room.
Furnished rooms in these houses run
50, 81 and So for the big double rooms
with two windows; 81, 81 rs and 81 so
for small rooms. Some are heated by
furnaces, and in some the tenant must
supply his own heating device. Many
arc fixed for light housekeeping. and
have alcoves or big closets. which will
do for kitchens. Unfurnished rooms
arc very much cheaper and more de-
sirable in these days when furniture
is so cheap. Unheated, unfurnished
rooms can be had down here for as low
as 81 month, and it is not hard to find
two good rooms for $40 month.
There is one thing that must be said
about living conditions in this district,
which would not occur TO the house
hunter on her first visit. IL is full of
corners, and corners mean sun. The
very confusion of little short streets
crossing each other at every possible
angle means that there arc any num-
Der of corner houses and corner apart
ments TO choose from.

TERMINALS IN QUEENS
One or Two Stations for
Long Island City.

As result of the efforts of Borough
President Connolly and the Chamber of
Commerce Of Queens there will be
located at least two barge canal ter
minals, and possibly three, in the Bor-
ough of Queens. The terminal on
Flushing Bay was decided upon two
weeks ago, and at a meet Of the State
Canal Board, held last Friday, Mitchell
May, Secretary of State, who is chair
man Of the State Canal Board, told a
Queens delegation that it had been de-
cided to locate at least one terminal in
Long Island City on the East River in
the vicinity of the greensboro Bridge,
and, if possible, another terminal would
be located on Hallets Cove.
Secretary May also stated that State
Engineer Bensel would prepare the
necessary maps for both and report on
the assessed valuation of the property

board to be held tomorrow night.

Mary Heaton Worse lives at IS Grove
st. She says:
an that part of New York known as
Greenwich Village one escapes the
curse of uniformity. In my childhood,
when | lived further uptown, 1t seemed
10 me that the houses and the people
in them were cast into an iron mould
one house after another alike. Inc
furnishings, one gathered, were alike,
the looks of the people one crossed and
recrossed in the street were also as
alike as though the terrible similarity
of their houses had left some iron I'M
print on their spirits.
"While the blocks uptown have now
a more pleasing variety of FACADE and
more imagination is shown in their
construction, still the people in them

In uptown streets no such thing nap

Here. in one block, there are houses
sheltering people in all sorts Of differ

anyway, and if one has an open spirit
one is more likely to meet them. So
it is for its possible variety Of social
life that this quarter of New York APP

The Warts Effect on Realty

To the Real Estate Editor.
Sir: The war has caused many I'M
usual realty developments, one of them
being an increased demand for apart

owners of simmer cottages, who usual
Nv rent their houses and so abroad each

BRIGHT VIEWS ON
BUILDING OUTLOOK
Plans Temporarily Held Up by
War Expected To Be Put
in Operation Soon.

An editorial in a recent issue of "The
American Contractor" on the Building
Outlook" says in part:
Building permits issued in New York
City this year will be about s150,000,-
600. At the same average throughout
the country the total building of the
country would amount to about SO ,00O,-
100000.
The building permits in Chicago for
the year will reach about $90,0O0,O00
On that basis the total for the country
would be s4,50O0O0,O00. The active
work in Philadelphia in 1914 will total
somewhere near $4,000 900. At a cor
responding rate the building for the
entire country would reach close to
$4,000, 100000.

EARLY COMPLETION OF

LINE Is NOW ASSURED

Silver City, N. NJ. Dee. 1.-THE
early completion of the telephone
line which is being built by the forest
service from the Mimbres river across
the Black range to the Kingston rang
er station. is now assured.
The work has been temporarily de-
Iayed by stormy weather. Construc-
ton Of the line has entailed some un-
usual difficulties, as it was necessary
to transport the coils of wire, weigh
ing 100 pounds each on pack mules
over rough mountain trails.
In the main the telephone line Is
strung on trees. instead of poles, this
being possible through the use of a
special split porcelain insulator which
enables the wires to swing with tnhe
motion Of the trees without danger of
breakage.
The new line will be invaluable in
protecting the thickly timbered Black
range from forest fires and in addi-
ton viii provide a means of instant
communication between Silver City
and Kingston heretofore the most iso-
lated ranger district headquarters on
