EXPECT HIGHER
WESTCHESTER TAX
Cost of Bronx Valley
Sewer May Fall on En-
tire County.

Taxpayers in the towns along the
North Shore of Long Island Sound, eX-
cepting Mount Vernon, and IN those
along the east bank of the Hudson
River, in Westchester County. north
of Yonkers. fear they will have 10 paw
a share of the cost of the construction
of the Bronx Valley trunk sewer, 4
Sl000,0 900 improvement. They viii re-
ceive no direct benefit, they say, from
this project With the expenditure of
100000 additional for a new court
house and county penitentiary, the
property owners say that their taxes
are going TO increase.
The Bronx sewer extends from White
Plains, following the course of the
Bronx River, through Hartsdale, Scars
dale, Crestwood. Tuckahoe. BronXvIllc
and West Mount Vernon, and from
there 10 Yonkers. where il empties into
the Hudson River Such places as New
Rochelle. Larchmont. Rye. Port Ches-
ter. Tarrytown, Ossining and Peeks-
kill gain no benefit by the sewer, yet
under a recent decision of the court
the whole county may finally have 70
bear the expense of the improvement.
The United States Court of Appeals
has Just handed down a decision which
leverses the lower court and orders TO
trial the action of the American Pipe
and Construction COMPANY of Pennsyl-
vania TO recover 1891 .952 claimed to be
due from Westchester County for ex-
ira work on the sewer. Should the
plaintiffs win this would increase the
cost of the sewer close TO S1,s00000.
The District Court dismissed the com
plant. holding that the whole of West
chester County was not obligated TO
stand the expense of the sewer i'm
provement. on the ground that only a
part OF the county was benefited. In
revering the ruling of the lower court
Judge Rogers says that the expense Of
the sewer must rest on the whole

BUILDING TASKS
AT BEECHHURST
Seven Dwellings Being
Constructed and %
More Planned.

Although the city has not yet leased
the Whitestone landing branch of the
Long Island Railroad as a rapid tran
sit route to the north shore of Queens,
the real estate movement at the ter
minus of the route has suffered no set
back as a consequence. At Beechhurst,
overlooking the Sound at Cryder's
Point, seven dwellings are in course Of
construction and twentyelght more
will be in frame in this shore front
home colony before the summer is over.
Beechhurst is directly at the terminus
of the prof ected rapid transit route,
which is now operated by the third rail
electric system of the Long Island
Company.
Laid out as a home colony seven
years ago, BeechhurSt embraces 1874
acres of waterfront, woodland and roll
ing country. There are 1000 feet Of
shore front overlooking Fort Schuyler
military reservation on the point Of
1hIog's Neck in The Bronx.
Already improved with 100 detached
dwellings, that are occupied by their
owners, Beechhurst is also an import
ant yachting rendezvous, the Beech
hurst Yacht Club being a busy nautical
and social centre. The entire shore
front is given over 10 yachting and
bathing facilities, the bathing beach
being reserved to the residents Of
Beechhurst and the yacht club mem
bers.
Many of the homes and home sites
at Beechhurst overlook the shore, and
it is one of the few parts of the City
of New Lork where waterfront plots
are available for home purposes. The
result is that fee values there are
steadily increasing Numerous large
plots are being held for improvement
by nrivate contract.

d third of mile. and i the ferry
route becomes a popular way home for
hundreds of residents of Erglewood
and for many other persons in the
nearby towns on the Palisades the
street would be well traversed after
working hours and there would be a
lig demand on the thorOughfare for
many kinds Of shops.
The most thickly settled part of the
Dyckman section are the blocks bound
ed by Dyckman Street, Maggie and Am
srcrdam avenues. 21lth Street and
broadway. On the westerly side OF
Sherman Avenue, from Dyckman Street
TO Isham Street, few vacant lots are
70 be had The type Of house which
has proved TO be most popular on this
thoroughfare has very pleasing lines.
Since January to d. plans have
loen filed for the putting up this year
in the Dyckman section Of fathouses
and store structures estimated 70 cost
considerably more than Sl,200,000. A
section largely favored in this build
ing movement is the centre in which is
located Public School 50. at Academy
Street and Broadway. Academy Street
is the first block east of Dycknan
Street. Jacob Frankeps concern, the
Loyal Building Company, filed plans
for the building of five story brick
apartment house on the east side Of
Academy Street, $50 feet north OF Yer
milyea Avenue. The plans called for
structure for twenty-siX families,
the estimated cost being $4,000.
Frankfort & Kirchner drew the plans.
The dimensions Of the building are TO
he 50x87.6 feet The building will be
opposite Public School 80, not the old
structure, but the new one which the
city will soon have ready for occu-
fancy.
After going north on Academy
Street and crossing Broadway, the first
street met is Cooper Street, which ex-
tends in an casterly direction for three
blocks. On that street, at a point 1903
feet east of Academy Street, two FIVE
story brick apartment houses Cor
twenty-one families each are to be
built. Neville & Bagge, the architects,
estimated the cost to be 100000, the
~ oiector of this work being the Fiji
teen Cooper Street Company, of which
Bart j. Rice is the president. This
improvement is only a block and a
half from Public School 50.

Some of the persons who tried TO get

as follows:
"No one was courageous enough to

New EnglewoOd Ferry Expected
To Be Big Factor in the
Growth of Region.

The Dyckman district. just north Of
Washington Heights and Fort George,
is the scene Of a large volume Of build
ing operations. That this part of the
town. forming the extreme northwest
erly area Of New York, would be en-
livened this year by the carrying out Of
large number Of important building
tasks was a prediction made by many
real estate experts as 1914 was wan
ing. Not only has that prophecy come
true, but earlier expectations have been
more than borne out, the number and
the importance Of the work in the sec
ton being unusually large for such
times as the present
Il is not so many years ago that the
Dyckman district comprised mostly va
cant blocks IN a rough state. The
blocks were uninviting, even to expert
eneed speculative builders in the
greater city. Il was the Broadway
subway that gave the place the neces-
sary transit link so that its transition
from an idle lowland Of many acres
INTO bright and prosperous residential
region could be quickly and substan-
TALLY done. In the early stages Of this
construction period there were many
Indications that Dyckman ST., the first
street running almost directly north
IN the region, would become the princi-
pal shopping and amusement thorough
lare, and that its upbuilding would be
astonishingly rapid. The building fur
Ties on Dyckman St, however, were
soon overshadowed by plans for put

The committee believes that in the
interest Of a more equitable apportion-
ment Of present Fairgrounds the pro-
posed removal Of the corporation ya-d

should be approved, though II also

and equipment Of the spaces TO be re-
served for playground purposes beneath
the bridge.
1T is recommended that the present
petition be denied, not only. however
for the above reason, but chiefly for
the reason that the work has already
been undertaken, and that the board
