To be sure. there is no denying the fact
that we are undergoing at the present
time what might be termed somewhat
of a stagnation in the real estate mar
ket, according to the calamity howlers.
There is no doubt but that the strin-
gency of the financial market has been
a check TO the building operations and
real estate developments, but, in my
opinion, this will work out in the near
future 20 be an actual blessing in dis

Brooklyn, like most every other rap

BULKHEAD LINES DRAWN
Major Pope Receives Designs
for Dutch Kills Creek.

As a result Of the efforts Of the
commerce committee of the Chamber OF
Commerce of the Borough of Queens
the United States government has es-
tablshed pier bulkhead lines for Dutch
Kills Greek. a tributary Of Newtown
Greek, which is known as the busiest
waterway of its size IN the world" The
Chamber of Commerce urged the New
York Harbor Line Board at a hearing
last spring 10 establish bulkhead lines
for this stream IN order 10 bring -
under the jurisdiction Of the United
States government. whcih can now
make appropriations for dredging same

tween the bulkhcad lines varying from
200 feet at its junction with Newtown
Creek 10 $50 feet, and includes a large
basin in the Degnon Terminal where
car floats can be locked.
Some idea OF the immense amount OF
commerce that is carried annually on
both Newtown Greek and Dutch hllls
Creek can be obtained from the num-
oer of boats which pass through the
Vernon av. bridge over Newto"n creek
