TROLLEY ALONG
MOTOR PARKWAY
Plans Begun for Construction
of Line from Corona to
ROnkOnkOma.

Plans for the construction of troll
ley road from Corona to Ronkonkoma,
along the right of way of the Long
Island Motor Parkway. were begun re-
Gently. Preliminary work, it is under
stood, will begin at once on the section
in Queens County and as far as Gar
den City. The route runs over Flush
ing Greek, and will pass south Of the
old A. T. Stewart railroad, crossing 1t
at Creedmoor.
The completion of this line TO Gar
den City and its extension along the
motor parkway should have a stimulat-
ing effect on realty in towns along it's
route, which include Mineola, West
bury, Hicksville. Central Park, Farm
ingdale. Wyandanch and Brentwood.
The advantage of the Long Island
Motor Parkway trolley for summer
residents along its route is very ap-
parent. 1t will link up all nearby COM
munites with Lake Ronkonkoms, and
it will be possible to go from Brent
wood Park to the lake in about twenty
five minutes. 1t will take about a year
20 complete the work If it is started at
once.
Since the work on the construction
OF the trolley has been begun con-
siderable activity has been reported in
Lake Ronkonkoma. A number of lots
have been purchased for home sites.

Home Building Activity in
Northwestern Section
of Perth Amboy.
By Board of Trade of Perth Amboy.

BY Board OF lradc OF Ierln Annoy.
While typically an industrial COM
munity. Perth Amboy and its suburbs
have many advantages that make the
district most desirable as a home cen
tire. The city is beautifully situated
at the junction of the Raritan River
and Staten Island Sound as they flow
snto the picturesque Raritan Bay. The
southeastern section Of the city con-
tains many fine residences and avail
able sites for others. These sites are
so located that an excellent view of the
river. sound and bay is afforded.
Desirable homes in this section of
the city can be rented for from $25 a
month upward. Most of the lower
priced homes are of the two-family
type. Yearly rental of a home in Perth
Amboy amounts 20 about 10 per cent
of the value Of the property. Con-
sequently. the purchase cost can be
readily determined.
The northwestern section of the city
Is being rapidly developed as resi-
dental district. Here low-priced homes
for workingmen abound and rentals
are as low "a SIS a month for coy
quarters Lots can be purchased on
easy terms or for from $500 upward
and several building and loan assocla-
tions are ready 20 assist in the cree
ton Of homes.
An important factor that must not
Re overlooked IN the consideration Of
Perth Amboy real estate is that there
Is every indication that II would prove
a good investment. The city is grow
ing rapidly, having increased nearly
700 pcr cent in population during the

Contracts for Largest Two
Dwellings To Be Built
at KenSingtOn.

That North Shore real estate has q
brilliant outlook for the season. as
contrasted with the last half dozen
years, is evidenced by the unusual &C
tivity of the Rickert-Finlay Realty
Company in several of its great North
Shore developments.
Particular attention is now being
centred upon the operations of this
company in Kensington-Grea Neck
the artistic country colony on Man
hasset Bay. where every house built
by the company has been sold and
plans are now being laid for a new
series. Two contracts just closed are
for what are said to be the largest
country houses ever built for sale
around New York.
One of them will be of low, rambling
Colonial type of construction. clap
board exterior: will occupy frontage
of 100 feet, with a depth of ll6 feet at
the intersection of North and East
drives. and its cost, including the value
Of land, will approximate $4,000. The
architects are Paterson & Dula. who
have made a considerable reputation in
Westchester County.
The house will comprise seventeen
rooms and five baths, having a living
room, dining-room, library and billiard
room on the first floor and six mas
ter's bedrooms and five servants bed
rooms on the upper floors. The plans
for construction contemplate a COM
plete scheme of landscaping along I'M
usually artistic lines, including a com
modious garage. The new operation
represents the best thought Of the
Rickert-Finlsy organization, based
upon an extensive experience in the
construction Of high class North Shore
residences.

Many Attractive Homes
In Industrial Community

last twenty-five years. Industrial es-
Establishments are constantly being
added 70 the large and varied number
already located in the city. The plants
located in the city now give employ
ment TO about 10000 operatives, who
annually produce manufactured prod
ucts valued at about 100000 and
who are paid in wages approximately
100000 annually.
The suburban residential districts OF
Perth Amboy are being improved and
developed rapidly. These districts
extend to Sewaren and Woodbridge
on the north and 10 Metuchen on the
east and include some Of the choicest
home locations in the state. Lots and
plots are sold on the easiest terms,
even in the restricted divisions. and
purchasers are given every assistance
in erecting homes. The secretary OF
the Board of Trade will furnish de-
tailed information 10 any one in
terested In the Perth Amboy section.
While Perth Amboy felt to some ex-
tent the effects of the European war
and the natural resultant depression.
during the last thirty days conditions
have improved remarkably and there
is now every indication that all the
industrial plants will be working
practically at full speed within a few
weeks The increased demand for cop
per has favorably affected the two
big refining plants. and improved
building conditions are causing the
manufacturers Of materials. such as
brick. tile. and terra Gotta. 10 resume
normal operations.
Perth Amboy is easily accessible
from the metropolitan communities,
such as New York and Newark. EX-
cellent train service is furnished by
the Pennsylvania and jersey Central
railroads and the Staten Island Rapid
Transit Railway by the 81. George
Gerry from Manhattan. The average
monthly Communication rate is $3.50.

Much of this energy is transformed

This furnishes the power for the ele-
