The executive committee of the Ma
tional Association of Realty Brokers is
already preparing for the convention
to be held in this city on January IS,
10 and 20. Topics so far arranged for
discussion are Interstate Business in
Real Estate Lines" THE Real Estate
Man and His Advertising" and THE
Real Estate Man and His Commits
sions." The committee decided on these
subjects last Wednesday.
"The business of the real estate man
and the banker is in some ways closely
affiliated" said Stoddard Jess, vice
president Of the First National Bank OF
Los Angeles, at the national conven-
ton at Los Angeles. He added:
THE real estate man by bringing in
new people increases the clientele OF
the bank and consequently increases
the amount Of funds on deposit and
under the control OF the banker
con the other hand, the banker in
meeting the desires Of the real estate
man, by loaning as freely as conditions
will permit, after keeping the corner
stones Of prosperity intact, makes 1T
easier for the real estate man to in
terest his prospective customers and
to effect sales. Each in doing his duty
proves helpful to the other The real
estate men and the bankers should do
effective team work that will make for
the upbulding and development OF
both city and country along right lines;
LET the real estate men plan and
develop, actuated by an inspiration to
achieve rather than 10 get, and ever
mindful of the effect that the charac-
ter of the development will have on
the future.
LET the bankers cooperate and en-
courage development to the extent that
conservation will permit, ever remem.
boring that the business Of the real
estate man promotes activity and that
activity brings prosperity to all.
Together let the real estate men
and the bankers accept as rule OF
conduct the motto "A square deal for
ALL and future generations as well as
this will commend them"

Water May Be Turned Into
New Kensico Reservoir
Within a Year.

The work of constructing the new
Kensico dam at Valhalla, in Westches-
ter County, for the City Of New York
at a cost of S1O,O00,000, is fast near
ing completion, and it is expected that
the big reservoir will be flooded within
year. The Kensico dam will hold
back the water from the Ashokan res
ervoir, which will run through the
aoueduct from the Catskills, and at
Kensico the water for New York will
see daylight for the first time after
leaving the big Ashokan reservoir.
The Kensico dam is nearly 300
feet high, from it's base, and there will
be driveway across the top.
The commission appointed by JUS
tice Keogh, of the Supreme Court, to
make awards for land decided for new
highways around the reservoir will
soon make its report. The city has
completely changed the system Of
county and town drives because of the
enlargement of the reservoir and the
construction of the new dam, and
considerable property had to be con-
demned for this purpose.
The town of Mount Pleasant has Just
settled with the city of New York for
100000 because of the town highways
that were wiped cut and the cost of
laying out new roads.
The roadway across Kensico dam
will connect with the State Highway
leading to New York, as well as to
the northern section of Westchester
County and with the highways for
Connecticut and the towns on the east
ern bank of the Hudson. The new
Bronx River Parkway will also have
its terminus at the foot Of the dam,
where the grounds will be laid out into
a park with fountains, shrubs and
trees.

GET COURTHOUSE CONTRACT
Brady & Co.. of This City, to Construct
White Plains Building.

The general contract for the con-
struction Of the new county courthouse
at White Plains has been awarded to
John T. Brady & Co., 10S Park av., New
York City. at figure of little less
than 100000.
The bid Of this company was selected
from over fifty fled with the commits
sion, the bids being opened last Tues
day, since which time the Building
Commission has met daily to consider
the award.
The courthouse will be built of sand
stone. granite or Emerson-Norris con-
crete stone made TO match the other
buildings in the group. As this latter
stone is a Westchester County product
and is less expensive than the others,
il is probable that it will be selected as
best suited for the purpose.
