Students and teachers of the drama

were 2,927 permits for alterations and
additions, at a total cost Of sl,2S0,94i,
which was an excess in permits of 1872
and in estimated cost Of s48,355.
The gain in operations was in the
Long Island City section in the erec-
ton Of industrial plants and apart
ments and tenements along the new
lines of transit; in the Ridgewood sec
tion in the erection of tenements due
TO the improvement Of transit facilities
to that section; in the Woodhaven dis
trict in the erection of detached dwell
ings in anticipation of the enlarged
transit facilities to Jamaica, and in the
Corona section in the erection of tene-
ments and stores due to better connec-
tions with Manhattan both by trolley
and the railroad. The report of County
Clerk Leonard Ruoff shows that during
1914 there were recorded l2,706 deeds,
$40 leases, 1861 mortgages and 5,042
assignments of mortgages. The total
Of deeds filed is over 400 more than the

SEEK COURTS AID
OVER ASSESSMENT
Other Boroughs Benefited by
Street Widening, Say Wood.
haven Property Owners.

More than 200 property owners in
the Woodhaven district of Queens,
whose property is included within an
assessment area laid down by the Com
missioners of Assessment for the wild
ening of Ashland ST., have taken steps
to contest the action OF the assessors
and secure, if possible, legal determine
tion of the rights of property owners
in similar conditions. BY order of the
Board of Estimate this street was wild
ened at cost of more than 100000
and a zone of assessment has been laid
out extending from Cypress Hills
Cemetery TO Metropolitan av. for
distance of from $50 to 500 feet on
either side of Ashland st. Within this
area is property of cemeteries which
are not assessed. This makes the bur-
den heavier on those who must pay.
According to the property owners,
Ashland st. was of sufficient width for
all purposes of local traffic, but was
widened to accommodate through traf
iic from other boroughs. Such being
the case, the property owners declare
that without their personal consent
they arc now being asked to pay pub
lie improvement which will benefit the
city at large. In some cases it is de-
clared that the assessments which have
been laid will be confiscatory of the
property. An appeal is to be made TO
the Board of Assessors first for relief
from this condition, and then, IL not
obtained, action will be begun in the
courts. 1t is contended that no such
power is given TO assessors as has been
exercised here.
