effort had been made to leave the old

hasten the day of reckoning
The readjustment process in realty
began soon after the spring season IN
1905. That is another thing that the
great real estate fraternity OF TINS
CITY has Just cause TO rejoice over.
When the financial panicky days OF
October, 1907, came, the real estate
market Of New York was not UMPIRE
pared for the additional pairing proc
ess; in fact, it had so ably started on
It's retrenchment operations that II
splendidly withstood the shock o. those
days.
Nineteen hundred and fourteen gave
most promising signs before the
spring season arrived that this long
readjustment period of real estate al
fairs was at an end and that, with its
debts and credits properly balanced,
the real estate fields of the city would
once more see all the old familiar
faces and many new ones there. Near
" every week up 20 last August thls
thought was constantly being I'M
pressed on the minds of all identihed
with the sale or the management OF
property. the thought that the market
was entering an epoch Of unusual
activity both in the building and IN
the investment lines. The outbreak
Of the war. however, obliterated that
hone for the time being, but The Ne"
Year sees that hope revived again.
There is now every indication that
1915 will be noted for a big increase
in buying and building.

Out-of-town buyers played CON
spicuous part I'm the realty trading IN
the greater city in the year just ended.
Many of the largest purchases Of the
year were made by them as well Is
many Of the most important exchanges
of real property. This is satisfactory
sign, as it shows a broadening of the
market for real estate in the city.
Some Of these out-of-town buyers had
never before owned New York prop
erty. Lawrence c. Phipps, Of Denver,
formerly vice-president and treasurer
of the United States Steel Corporation
and o former partner OF Andrew Car
negie. was one Of the newcomers, max
ing his first investment in the local
market in the form of the purchase OF
the Cleburne apartment house, on the
north side Of 1O5th ST. from Broadway
to West End av. He paid about 81 500,
600 for the property, giving in part
payment parcels in Pittsburgh. the
value of which was placed at 100000.
This important transaction was negoti-
ated by /. J. Phillips & Co. for j.
Clarence Davies.
Ex-Governor William VI. Brown of
Pennsylvania, who has evinced fond
ness for Manhattan real estate for
some years, was another one Of the
big out-of-town buyers in the year. In
the transaction in which he was one
OF the principals about 100000 was
involved. This transaction was the
purchase Of the entire block front on
the easterly side Of Madison av, be.
tween sod and SD sts., on which are
two eleven story apartment houses,

QUAKER CITY FIRMS
IN LOCAL MARKET
American Realty Co, OF
Philadelphia, Among
1914 Buyers.

Some Philadelphia concerns were
among the buyers of real estate in this
city last year. OF course, that is not
an unusual occurrence, many such con-
Germs being heavy purchasers Of local
real estate in nearly every year. But
the strength of the ranks f the Phila-
delphia buyers helped to emphasize the
fact that a large part of the business
done In New York real estate fields was
due TO the activity Of out-of-town IN
yestors and spectators.
One Of the best built houses in Har-
lem. the Kenmore apartment, at i49 70
45S West l23d ST.. became in the year
the property Of one of these Philadel-
phia concerns. the buyer being the
American Realty Company, OF the
Quaker City.

A short while after the trade eN-Gov-
ernor Brown disposed of the Madison
av. houses.
About 100000 represents the
value Of the property which formed an
exchange between Alexander R. Pea
cock. Of Pittsburgh, another former
partner of Andrew Carnegie, and .
company owning a midtown hotel. Mr..
Peacock got in the trade the Hotel
Webster. twelve story structure at
80 to AZ West A5th ST., abutting the
Harvard and the New York Yacht
clubs. He gave in the exchange the
loft building at 1877 and 1879 West 25tn
st. and l36-acre farm at Unity, Penn.
Later in the year he bought back the
loft building.
In the year Clarence Payne, Of Cali
fornia, became the owner of one of
the best located and one OF the most
popular apartment houses in the lower
Park av. section. The house is at 1888
to 8s7 Park av., % feet north of SD
50. 10 is a twelve story structure,
erected by the Montana Realty Com
pany, the company being composed OF
L. Clifford Potter, ". II. Chesebrough
and BENJAMIN Mordecai. As part pay
ment he gave city property. Messrs.
Chesebrough. Potter and Mordecai were
among the first persons to begin the
work of changing lower Park av. from
an uninvitinl section Of the city into
one which has some of the finest apart
ment houses and which is destined to
become more attractive in this respect
in the years TO come.
Looking over the list Of the big sales
made in the old year. the fact stands
out that Pittsburgh residents are be
coming a greater power in realty cir
cles here through their purchase Of
Manhattan and nearby properties.

Says the Henderson Gold Leaf
Vance County and the city of
Henderson Monday did a wise
and handsome thing in employ
ing a physician for all his time
as health officer. " Every county
needs whole-time health Off
Ger. but We have too many coun-
ties whose people think they can
not afford to have the lives and
happiness of their families so
safeguarded. Yet many of these
same counties by elimi aating the
useless office of county treasurer,
combining other offices in a bust
ness-like way, and paying salar-
les instead Of fees, could save
the cost of the county health
twice over. While in many
poorer counties the fees obtained
by county officials are not large,
in weather. counties thousands
