BUYERS in CENTRAL
NASSAU COUNTY
Numerous Sales Rep 'rted
Last Week in BOule-
ward Section.

The real estate market in Central
tive of steady activity throughout the
summer. Numerous sales were made
in the boulevard section, which is fast
changing from acreage into villa sites.
The width OF the boulevard. its direct
connection with the main highways to
various parts of Long Island and the
central situation Of Mineola have all
had bearing on the steady trend OF
real estate demand in the community.
Mineola is real estate anomaly.
While landed estates are steadily in
Creasing in number to the north Of it,
all acreage Immediately within its Dor
Gers is beng absorbed with homes for
all-year occupancy, and the bulk of the
demand is from persons who desire
homes costing from $4,000 to $4,000
each.
A glance at the map of Long Island
shows the easy accessibility of Mineola
and the reason why il was chosen as
the county seat of Nassau County. The
main line Of the Long Island Railroad
passes through Mineola. and it is the
junction of the line that branches
north to Oyster Bay and of the one
running south TO Valley Stream, there
connecting with the Montauk division
and the Long Beach division, which
serve the entire South Shore. The
trains of the Wading River branch
that serves the North Shore of Suffolk
County-pass through Mneola. As
result, real estate demand Is keeping
pace with railroad traffic. each being
the correlative of the other.

T. Wilson, one of the stanchest ad

the national secretary of the SOciaistlc

of all citizens. Wilson's letter follows:

received az the Office Of counsel of the
United Civic Associations of queens
Borough, which is leading the forces
of taxpayers and rent payers. who are
leaving nothing undone 90 bring about
a change in the real estate condemna-
ton laws OF this state. Nearly all the
letters are of an approving character;
p small number, however, contain OPP
posite views.
Arnold Peterson, national secretary
of the Socialist Labor party of Amer
lea, has written to the counsel OF the
United Civic Associations. saying that
the interests Of the working class are
not and can not be identical with the
interests Of the property holding class
and also that the Socialist Labor party
is opposed to the amendments.
His letter Is, in part. as follows;
Your esteemed favor of June Is,
with copies of proposed constitutional
amendments and explanatory notes
thereto. duly received. As you address
your letter to me as national secretary
of the Socialist Labor party, and as
you undoubtedly are aware OF the
party's claim TO represent the inter-
ests of the working class, | conclud5
that YOU presume that these proposed
amendments will in some manner bene-
fit the working class. With this view
we cannot agree.
The interests of the working class
he
the interests Of the property holding
class. The workers, as class, are
stripncd Of all property; hence It Is
of no concern to the whether the
government, municipal or otherwise,
paws for private property before or
after taking, injuring or destroying
such property. or, indeed. whether II
is paid for at all. Possessing no prop
erty. the workers are not. or should
not be, interested in questions OF taxa
ton or assessments.
"The present political government Is,
de fac:o. the executive committee OF
the property holding class, notwith-
standing its protestations OF democ-
racv. From this it follows that orly
the property holding class should. and
does, maintain it through taxation.
Your argument on unjust or excessive
assessment merely reveals the fact that
the property holding class now. as al
ways in the past, seeks to shift the
burden of taxation from one group to
the other. Though all realize that they
need the political government mainly
to keep the producing class-the work
ING class in subsection, none OF them
are willing to pay the costs.
THE working class Is interested IN
private property in the sense only that
il must seek TO abolish this private
property society and substitute ior 1t
one of collective ownership and ad-
ministration through the industrial
unions (associations) of the useful pro-
ducers.
