GOOD YEAR ON LONG ISLAND.
Nearly 1000 Buildings Ererted-
Heavier Traffic Reported.

Nearly 1000 new dwellings. stores, fac
tories and miscellaneous structures were
erected in various parts OF Long Island
during 1914. according to officials Of The
Long Island Railroad. More than 10000
buildings have been put up on Long
Island outside NJ Long Island city and
the old city OF Brooklyn, in tho past
decade.
THE number OF new buildings erected
in 1914" says Traffic Manager A. l..
Langdon. "is somewhat less than for the
previous year, but nearly $4,000 dwellings
which We're erected In the nine previous
years have been occupied The year
1914 has been remarkable as ono OF gen
era business depression aud high cost
Of living Railroads have suffered losses
in gross revenue and greater losses in net
revenue
The Long Island Railroad carried
nearly a million more passengers and
nearly half million tons moro treighs
during the year 1914 than In 1918, al
though Long Island felt as much as any
other section Of this country the depreSs-
ing effects OF the great European war

A case in point is that OF a school
teacher who is considering whether TO
put her lifetime savings into Govern
ment bonds, savings banks or a subur-
ban home. She is not sure that she
wants to live in the suburbs but thinks
that as an investment proposition she
might best put her cash there. 1t is a
certain thing that reel estate has a
comfortable habit Of staying. regardless
OF war. finance ana politics. Houses
and lands can't get away. The human
family has always needed them am
always will. While values may SHRINK
even in real estate. q home loses nothing
10y such shrinkage and never passes a
dividend; and In the case OF investinvf,,
there Is always an actual and tangible
res.duum OF value. In contrast to wa
element OF security In real estate. many
investment enterprises Of undoubted
high worth I'm normal times have behind
them practically no. tangible assets.
they subsist on good will and specula-
tive earning power, which fade like a
tomato vine in October's frost.
Being convinced that it is his duty
to trek into the suburbs the reader may
remark that this Is a chilly time to look
over the beauties of nature; better wait
for balmy spring and all that sort Of
thing
Let the wise pilgrim take the tip
that he cannot begin scouting too early,
Winter Is the best time to observe the
defects as we'll as the merits of a
location. Leafy trees and bushes often
hide a iot Of vital facts concerning
neighborhood. You can better tell now
the lay OF the land and the relation OF
houses az well as towns and villages
direction and distance of railroads and
trolleys. river and ocean.
IT'S true the lack Of foliage may
cause you to do injustice to q place
whose present bleakness may soon he
transformed into luxuriant beauty.
little imagination will enable YOU to
make deductions and pass a fair judy
ment. After all. the winter aspect and
situation are important TO know about
and you should size them up.
The weeks between now and spring
are not too many to scout for habita-
ton. to study the many details and
make correct arrangements for your
enterprise. Those who have been dis
appointed in suburban life are persons
who have not investigated their own
needs and what was offered to them
they have acted in a hurry or care
lessly No one should invest in home
without plenty OF looking around. Even
the renter will find it profitable To-
make a thorough investigation.
If you buy piece Of ground and
expect to build upon it you will need
considerable time to have the prop
erty surveyed, title investigated and
guaranteed. TO have architectural plans
made, to connect with a contractor and
to put through financial arrangements.
II Is written that "a wise bird plans
early for his home and has his own
fresh garden eats when Put II on Il
