they did not get what they asked for
TO move in a body, as thousands or
German families have from the old
Williamsburg section to Rldgewood'
The building fraternity would then re-
ceive another valuable lesson.
The present Ridgewood expansion
dates back to three or four years ago.
In that time about one thousand houses
of the family type and OF the
two family class have been built. The
larger houses are three story and base
ment and the smaller two story and
basement. The majority of the bigger
structures are on plots with frontage
of about q feet. The two family
houses are on sites ranging from about
II feet up or little more. Estimating
the average frontage TO be 22 feet, the
total frontage of these new houses
put up in the last three or four years
would be 22,000 feet. Thus, il these
buildings were placed in a solid row,
they would extend for over four miles.
What a sensation there would be in
the building world IL some big operat-
ing company or person, financially
strong, should announce that they in
tended to put up 1000 double tene-
ment houses of three stories, and many
two family structures, and that they
would face for over four miles on one
avenuel Many persons would probably
bring to light all tho latest building
statistics at hand TO prove that the
city was overbuilt as regards the type
of house proposed, and that such an
operation, If not entirely successful,
would likely hold in check building
progress in Brooklyn for many years.
A fair estimate of tho money spent

MORTGAGE TAX
REALIZED In 1914
Report of Register John J. Hop
per Says That His Office
Collected Sf,39S.530.

In 1914, Register John j. Hopper re-
ports, his Office collected Sl,99S $50 95
in taxes on mortgages. One-half of l
per cent is collected by the Register on
each mortgage filed, and this is equally
divided between the city and the state.
The bureau is under the supervision
Of the State Tax Commission, and the
Register is liable for the faithful and
diligent discharge of the duties Of his
Office relative to the taxation of mort
cages. One Of his predecessors was
lately held personally liable 10 the
state by the Court of Appeals in the
sum of s20.033 so for failure TO collect
a mortgage tax where it was due. He
holds the money till it is properly ap-
portioned among the several counties
entitled TO a share, and as the regular
current mortgage tax receipts for any
given month remain in his possession
until paid TO the City Chamberlain on
the first of the following month, the
Register as a matter of business wants
to get as much interest for the city as
he car for the use of this money while
II is IN his hands. Yet, unlike the City
Chamberlain. the Register is personally
responsible for the money he collects.
If a bank in which the Register depos-
its the money fails he is held person
ally responsible.
Last gear the interest obtained was
s21.22534. The cost Of the Office for
salaries. supplies. etc, was Sll,SOO 90.
So that the bureaus expenses were
paid out OF the interest, and in addi-
ton S9.424 80 of the interest over and
above the net amount collected VIII be
turned over to the city authorities.
In 1914 not only was all current busi-
ness attended to, but fifty-four ap-
portionment mortgage left unattended
previous 20 1914, in some Instances
since 1908. were completely worked up
and reported for action to the State
Board of Tax Commissioners. total
of 2609i papers were examined as TO
taxability by the mortgage tax bureau.

"But for one cause or another NAM q

heads of families years ago, when
Brooklyn was a city and had numerous
little settlements in its suburbs"
"Will you try again this year TO have
a law enacted requiring that persons
be qualified TO be builders before being
permitted TO undertake or 70 supervise
building tasks" he was asked
mo, | am thinking about other mat.
ters demanding immediate attention. I
did my best two years ago 70 have 4
law passed 70 have builders licensed
and thus keep out Of the building line
men of no qualifications at all for this
important work. The object Of the Sc,
was to make certain that responsible
and experienced men would have charge
of the construction work of all build.
ing tasks, whether big or small.
There Is the proposition 70 put an
end to oyer-inspection, which is acr
engrossing my attention, and an also
largely interested in the movement to

bring about the erection, II possible,
in large numbers of many three-fanily
houses In the borough. This sane
movement also provides for changing
according to approved building slssd'
ards, old private dwellings into three.
family houses. OF late years there
have been comparatively few lots .
Brooklyn improved with three-famil
houses. Most builders say that old
structures cannot be proftsbly changed
into family houses because o.
tenement house requirements.
New-York tribune., 1915-01-24
Miles of New Multi-Fan1ily Houses in Rldgewood
Within Three T~omy Type have Been
Over
Of Families from old Williamsburg Section

in this Ridegwood series Of building
undertakings is S10,000,000. Some per-
sons say that at least sl2,000,O0O has
already been spent and that a similar
amount is going to be invested in the
various tasks planned or about TO be
rerfected before the highest pitch Of
the building vigor of this movement
has been reached. The three story
tenement houses have rooms for SIX
families, two suites being on each moor.
These houses are built 70 sell at about
$1,000. The two family houses sell
for about $4,000 each.
II is not the total sum OF the cost OF
these building operations In this point
of the Borough Of Brooklyn that sur
prises many persons who have studied
the cause, the building features and
the success accomplished. It is the
quick marketing of the majority OF
these tenement and two family houses.
Many of the structures were sold be-
fore they were In shape for occupancy.
They we're being sold in large num-
bers about three years ago. There was
a good market for them in 1918, and
the same conditions prevailed last year,
and this situation has not faded with
the new year.
Maybe a few of tho houses have
been sold on very easy terms. How
ever, most of the structures have been
disposed Of for all cash above the first
mortgage to persons who live IN one
suite and rent the others.
Through the section the Myrtle ay.
az" line is being third tracked and ex-
tended. Five years hence there will be
very few vacant sites in the Ridgewood
section.
