Chief Engineer Lewis Reviews
Efforts to Have City Stand
Entire Expense.

Acting on a recommendation OF Chief
Engineer Lewis, the Board of Estimate
has refused to relieve property in a
local area of assessment in the Astoria
section Of Queens from the burden OF
paying part OF the cost of the new AS
toria Park. The cost of this park will
be in the neiRhborhood OF $500, 900, and
10 per cent OF that sum has been placed
Lpon the local area.
at appears that while every effort
had been made 10 induce the city TO
bear all or the greater part os the cX-
pense, when il came 20 the question Of
abandoning the project there was a
vigorous protest" said Chief Engineer
Lewis, land the only conclusion that
can be drawn Is that the people Of
Queens wanted the park at the expense
Of the city, but that they were willing
to pay for az least a portion of the cost
II il could not be secured any other
way.
"The petition 70 be relieved Of the
assessment by the Astoria owners ap-
pears to be prompted by the suggestion
that ferry service be established be-
tween the boroughs OF Manhattan and
Queens. which would facilitate access
to this park. and such action IS de-
scribed in the petition as creating a
new use and new condition which ig-
nores the legal rights of property own
ers arbitrarily assessed for park
That is, it was claimed that the park
would be of general benefit, and more
than half the cost has been placed upon
other boroughs. but when il is proposed
20 make the park more available for
other boroughs il is claimed that this
Is creating a new condition"

lage is one of the few downtown dis
tricts where important work has been
done in the last twelve months IN
launching plans for a noteworthy home
expansion and for preventing business
from encroaching on precincts adorned
with charming old residences that can
at small expense be made into up-to-
date habitable dwellings.
Just at the present time the trans
formation that is taking place in the
west Bronx has caused builders in
other parts of the city TO pause in
their labors and devote some time to
studying the richness Of the various
charms of this part of the town as a
place Of residence and for the erection
Of bigger shopping centres. The bring,
ing Of the west Bronx within the dual
subway system has made il possible for
thousands of persons to become resi-
dents of this charming part of the city.
and to meet their demands houses OF
the very highest order have been
erected this year, many of which have
lately been opened for tenancy. There
was not one day last week when there
were not hundreds Of persons, mostly
from the lower home sections of the
city and from out of town, house-hunt-
ing in the west Bronx. All the house
hunters who were asked what they
thought of the many new apartment
houses built on Fordham Heights,
through the heart of which runs the
Grand Boulevard and Concourse, one
of the broadcast and most inviting drive
ways in the whole city, were unstinted
in their praise of the cheeriness of the
rooms of the apartments, OF the care
that had been taken in having the floor
arrangements suit the most eXacting
tastes and the unusual moderate
rentals.
In the Mosholu Parkway section, just
north Of Fordhsm heights, quite a
number oil nigh class apartment houses
have been built since January. Rooms
