ten years old, aud Peter was only

EVERY night all summer long,
Christian aud Peter had brought
the COW from the pasture and had
kept her out Of the luceru lots
where fences were down along the
way.
son the Rfth Of October the
school-teaoher took them to the
hills to gather flowers aud autumn
leaves. They came home after
dark, tired out, and finding no one
at home, orept upstairs and went
TO bed. They were sleeping sound
ly when their mother came a few
minutes later, and she bad not tie
heart to ask them to get up and get
the COW.
II helped Rasmussen Dig the last
ten feet Of his we'll that day, aud
when We had finished he invited me
TO supper. After that we sat for
long while enjoying our pipes and
stories, so il was eleven o'clock
when got home.

of the city is to be q beneficiary from
the erection of this market, what a
boon the market will prove to the fat
house dwellers Of the district just north
Of the market.
A mere suitable section for q great
industrial invasion than this one would
be difficult to find. Careful studies of
the situation have not yet revealed
that the place lacks any essentials for
the creation Of factory and home zone

flaws likely to be discovered at this

WATERWAY SCHEME
GAINING in FAVOR
Proposed Deep Channel
from Jamaica to Great
PecOnic BAY.

The movement for the construction
of deep waterway through the con-
fluent bays of the south shore of Long
Island is gaining impetus, especially
since Governor Whitman gave the mat
ter his sanction at hearing in Albany
last month. To extend from the east
end Of Jamaica Bay across the Rocha-
way peninsula easterly 10 Great Pc
comic Bay, the projected water route
will have manifold advantages.
Because Long Islands south snore IS
indented with natural creeks or small
waterways about one mile apart its
entire length, laterals for the main
deep water route are provided by nat
ure, and only some of these need deep
ening a few feet to make them naviga-
be for large vessels.
Queens County abounds in natural
laterals. Greeks leading into the bays
of Nassau County are numerous east
of Rockville Centre. where Hampstead
ard Great South Bays assume tangible
width. Baldwin Harbor is conspicuous
by having four laterals; Powell's
Creek, Parsonage Creek, Baldwin River
and n newly built waterway, seventy
FIVE feet wide. mile long and vary
ing in depth from six 10 eight feet.
Freeport. east of Baldwin Harbor,
also has good natural laterals TO the
middle bay. Further east are Mcrrick,
Bellmore, Wantagh. Seaford and Massa-
pequa, all in Nassau County, but whose
waterways need Strengthening and
deepening.
For a distance of sixty miles the
south shore of Suffolk County is
chain of lateral water courses, some
OF which have been improved. The
others are susceptible of easy deepen

"The village of Queens now boasts OF
two high-class apartment houses. one
of them is the structure erected by the
Queens Court Realty Company at Creed
and Fulton Streets, and the other is
the house at the northeast corner OF
Lynn and Fulton Streets, which was
erected by Builder Zimmerman for
Robe Brothers, as owners.
The village has one of the finest pub

part Of the town and fronts on Spring

time of trains is about thirty minutes,
and the service is in effect from early
until very late at night. Queens WI.

New-York tribune., 1915-03-14

A large number Of big lofts and man
ufacturing plants of the most approved
construction have been erected in the
last four years in the section between
.2d and 59th SITS, west of Eighth av., to
the North River. Nearly s3,600,G00 is
the total estimated cost of the new
buildings put up there in that time.
Conditions were not favorable last
year for big expansion of the new in
dustrial centres in the section. Never
theless, about s700,O0O was spent in
building modern lofts, storage and fiat
hou IT,. ~rd come other kinds of struc-
ures. Three large brick hathouses were
constructed. One Of these operations
brought about the improvement of a
plot with a frontage of lis feet on the
northerly side of 45th St, just west Of
Eighth av., at cost of about SIG, 900.
This fathouse is six stories high, and
was erected for Vincent Astor from
plans by Tracy & Swarthout. A six
story fathouse, costing about $4,000,
was placed on the 25-foot lot at 1853
Tenth av. 1t was built for the 751
Tenth Avenue Company, of which Jacob
/. Friedman is president. The archi-
tect of the building was George Fred
Pelham. Still another six story fat
house was erected at an estimated cost
of $4,000 on the premises 357 and 359
West 5lst ST., by the .ASth Street Com
pany. The dimensions of the house
are 56x96 feet. This modern house was
designed by Gronenberg & Leuchtag.
Two lofts were also built last year in
the section, one costing $4,000 and
the other slS0,OO0. Among other struc-
lures put up in the same period were
a small theatre, hotel and store and
an electrical sub-station.
In 1913 the sum Of $944,000 was
spent in replacing some old and almost
useless buildings with a number Of sta
bles, lofts, industrial shops, auto
storage and repair places and factories
for the making OF heavy machinery

commodities. The costliest building Of
the year was a 100000 loft.
In 1912 the estimated cost of all the
buildings planned to be put up in the
section reached the total of Sl,l05,600.
Among the structures were a $500 900
warehouse, n 100000 garage, a Sl20,-
600 hathouse, 100000 bakery, $780,
900 hospital and some fathouses cost
ing more than $4,000 each.
Nineteen hundred and eleven was the
year when the entire block front on
the easterly side of Eleventh avenue,
between 10th and 47th streets, was i'm
proved bv the erection of the candy
factory OF u. Auerbach & Sons. This
is one of the largest factories of its
kind in this country. Its light colored
sides. towering over the small nearby
buildings, can be plainly seen from a
point many blocks north and south Of
the Eleventh avenue site on which is
the building.
This structure would be an ornament,
besides performing its present useful
industrial purpose, in any other loft
centre Of this country. Robert D. Kohn
designed it, the estimated cost being
S750,0 900.
The building is almost square shaped.
II has a frontage on the avenue Of a
little more than 200 feet, and similar
length on each street. The other build
ings designed for the section in 1911
were an $4,000 stable, a $4,000 storage
building, an $4,000 stable and $780,
900 fathouse. The total cost Of all
buildings projected for the year was
1896, 800.
Before the present and we'll defined
building changes in the section became
most noticeable there were some tall
and valuable commercial structures
there. The stupencous warehouse OF
