TORRENS AMENDMENTS
Reeves Proposition Likely To
Be Adopted.
BY Gilbert Ray Hawes.

Three separate amendments affecting
the Torrens law have been introduced
and are now pending before the judi
ciarv committee of the Constitutional
Convention at Albany. The first, pro-
posed by Professor Reeves, provides
for a Gland division" of the Supreme
Court, which shall have sole jIrisdic-
ton of all land title registration ac-
lions. The second, proposed by my
self, provides for the creation of
separate land registration court, such
as has been in successful operation IN
Massachusetts for upward of twenty
years. The third, proposed by Register
Polak, gives to the Register or County
Clerk in each county sole and exclusive
powers in the matter Of determining
and registering titles to real property.
The main objection to Register
Polak's amendment is that 1t does not
confine the Register to his ordinary
powers and functions, which are neces-
Sarily ministerial in character. hut also
imposes upon him judicial duties which
can De performed only by the court.
There is no likelihood that this pro-
posed amendment will be considered
seriously.
Inc only Objection oHered 10 my pro-
posed amendment. as very frankly
stated to me by members of the judi
ciary committee when | addressed them
on the subject, is the fact that the peo-
pie of the state feel that they are now
overburdened by taxation and would
oppose the expense of new court,
even though it should ultimately prove
self-supporting from the fees paid by
property owners seeking registration
of their titles.
This leaves the amendment of Pro-
fessor Reeves as the only one to be
considered. have suggested certain
additions thereto. which will strengthen
it. by prescribing the procedure to be
followed by the proposed land division
of the Supreme Court, and as so amend
ed there is an excellent chance for its
passage.

The model tenement house built at
the southeast corner of SD st. and
Eleventh av. from plans by William
Emerson, architect, according to the
ideas of his wife was opened yester-
day.
The striking novelty in the building
in its adaptation TO the needs of its
occupants is the absence on the first
floor of living rooms except for the
janitor's quarters, the whole area be-
ing devoted to social uses. Here are
established a day nursery and "A model
food store and also a kitchen and sew
ing room. Shower baths are also pro-
vided, all being free 10 the tenants.
Above this there are six floors with
ten apartments. each Of tv-. three and
four rooms, which are supplied with
hot water and are equipped with gas
range, wash tubs and sinks. The rents
are 81 and Sl.25 a room Il week.

that the Courthouse be surrounded
with a civic centre. The cost of the
Courthouse should be as low as $4,000
600 or S5,0O0,00O. To bring the cost
within these figures, it may be re-
quired that the design of the Court
house be remOdelled and simpliiied as
much as possible. The courtrooms
should be small, while the entire archi-
tectural finish should be dignitied, but
as inexpensive as possible. BY build
ing a smaller structure than the one
contemplated il is quite probable that
larger remainderS viii be left subject
to sale. 1t has been estimated that
with the proposed design the remain
ders will bring approximately $4,000
900. However, with a smaller Court
house, made suitable to the actual
needs of the judiciary and the legal
fraternity, there will remain consider
able portions OF unused land which,
within a few years, might bring into
the city's treasury return upon the
investment of approximately S5,OOO,OOO.
Thus the expense of a Courthouse con-
structed at a small cost will be paid
for in large part by the sale Of these
remainders. During the discussion the
question was raised for the cOnsldera-
ton Of the members of the city admin
istration as to whether any Courthouse
at all should be constructed, in view
of the city's financial condition, as well
as the fact that the city was already
committed to innumerable public i'm
provements which were far more i'm
portant, such as public schools, sub
ways, etc. The city officials assured
the real estate representatives that ut
most caution and vigilance would be
observed upon these matters by them.

CHARMS OF FREEP0RT
Advancement of Town Ex-
planned by Broker.

II is not surprising that Freeport is
attracting widespread attention on ac-
count of its growth in recent years,
according to Ortell & Smith, a fore
most real estate firm of the town
"Freeport possesses everything that the
exacting homeseekers highly prize IN
A suburban community" add Ortell &
Smith. "The village has a high school
and three other public schools. which
persons prominent in educational mat
ters tell US are in the very front rank.
These words of praise are not neces-
sary to impress on the minds Of the
people of this village that this Is a
fact. Long ago they were aware of the
excellence of their schools by the
knowledge received by the pupils, and
also the crcditable showing made by
the graduates of that school system IN
other educational centres and in bust
ness or professional life. We are proud
of the efficient work done by our
Board Of Education and by Ward C..
Moon. superintendent Of schools.
I'VE desire to call attention to the
good condition of the many miles OF
public roads here. Every effort within
reason has been made TO keep the high
ways IN spic and span shape. so that
they are inviting TO owners OF auto
mobiles and many persons residents OF
the place who still show a fondness for
the harness horse. The care and the
money spent on the roads is IN a
measure proof of the deep pride taken
in civic matters. As TO healthfulness.
too, tn, village is d leader, having an
low death rate.

WANT CITY TO
KEEP BIG LOFT
Realty Board Says Hallen-
beck Building Could
Be Enlarged.
PREMISES IN
OLD CIVIC CENTRE
Nav Later Be Outside of Zone
and Could Then Be
ResOld.
BY the Real Estate Board Of New Yorl

BY the Real Estate Board Of New York.
The Real Estate Board, on July 10,
forwarded TO the Mayor, Controller
Prendergast, George McAneny, Presi-
dent of the Board Of Aldermen; ex-
Judge Morgan j. O'Brien and Charles
A. OMalley, of the Controllers office,
"A letter containing certain suggestions
AS TO the possible use of the Hallen-
beck Building. This letter is, in part,
ms follows:
The Real Estate Board has lost no
opportunity to call to the attention OF
the city officials the extravaganza OF
the Courthouse site and Civic Centre
plan as now proposed. The change
tentatively made in these plans, at a
conference held Tuesday, seems to in
dictate that the plan will not be aban-
doned, that the building will be re-
duced in cost to approximately hall
of the proposed S10000,000 and that
the site will be proportionately re-
duced and the unneeded land sold. AS
suming that no further change IS
made. considerable time must elapse,
perhaps several years, before the
Courthouse is ready for use. Would
it not, therefore, be a more profitable
thing for the city 10 retain the Hallen-
beck Building and to secure revenue
from it?
Here is substantial structure
erected about a dozen years ago. IL
is ten stories, with basement, and has
five elevators. 1t covers plot OF
$4,000 square feet and has more than
100000 square feet of net rentable
floor space. 1t cost, equipped, consid-
erably more than 100000.
IT, as now seems certain, the Court
house plans are modified, so that a
100000 900 building is constructed, in
stead Of a Sl0,000,000 building, it may
be that the Hallenbeck Building will
not be included in the smaller site. In
this case the Hallenbeck Building
could very likely be resold by the
city for a substantial sum, or it might
be utilized by the Public Service Com
mission or by some state or national
department.
1t may be objected that the general
scheme of the Courthouse and sur
rounding area might make the perma-
nent proximity of building Of this
type inappropriate. But even in this
case it would be we'll worth while to
consider renting the building, say, for
a period of three to five years, with
the idea of selling it when the Court
house was finished

NEW INDUSTRY
LOCATED IN PLACE
Commercial Progress Largely
Due to the Board of
Trade.

While Boonton has felt the effect
more or less of the general dulhess
prevailing throughout the country, u
has been able TO make some slight al
vancement along industrial lines. one
of its industries, manufacturing hign
grade hosiery, has been very busy, and
the activity in that particular line has
resulted in the building of a large
brick addition to an already large fac
tory. When it receives its machinery,
which has been delayed owing TO in
adequate importing facilities furnished
this country under the present condi-
tions surrounding foreign shipping,
employment will be given 70 a large
number of persons. Another small IN
dustry has lately located in the town.
Geographically speaking, Boonton is
one of the most superbly situated
towns within the committing range oil
New York City, Paterson, Newark and
Jersey City, it being located on a side
hill, with a southerly exposure. Re-
Gently the main thoroughfare Of this
little city among the hills has been
paved it's entire length with brick
amesite pavement, which is the delight
of a large number Of local automo-
bilists and hundreds of others Ell route
fro, New York and Lake Hopatcong
and the Delaware Water Gap.
Much of the success in securing new
industries is due to the active efforts
Of the Boonton Board of Trade, Inc,
OF which George U. Todd, has been sec
rotary for several years and to whom
any inquiries concerning any civic or
local enterprise should be addressed.
Boonton, which has about 5000 popu-
latlon, is on the Lackawanna Railroad,
only thirty miles from the greatest
cisy in the world. There are t wo
flourishlng banks, a public library,
churches of various denominations and
an -to-date fire department. The city
gets plenty of water from its own
reservoir in the hills, five miles away,
and has ample water for power The
place offers numerous opportunities for
industrial and residential development.

JOINT STATION
AT WOODSIDE, |. |.
Passengers Will Be Able
to Transfer in All
Directions.
BY WALTER |. WILLIS.
Secretary Chamber of Commerce OF
the Borough OF Queens.

At the intersection of Roosevelt
Avenue and the six tracks of the Long
Island Railroad there will be joint
transfer station that will be of the ut
most importance to all Long Island.
Passengers coming from any division
of the Long Island Railroad, whether
the North Shore, the Main Line, the
Montauk Division or the Rocksway d.
visions, will be able TO transfer direct.
" at this point to the elevated lines OF
both the Interborough and the BROOK
lyn Rapid Transit, connecting with the
Queensboro Bridge Plaza and the
Steinway tunnel. In other words, all
Long Island passengers VIII nave AZ
their disposal the whole of the cltys
comprehensive system for hve-cen'
fare from WoOdSide.
The perspective sketch, prepared by
the Public Service Commission, shows
the Joint station layout at Woodside'
The elevated railroad tracks ana pat
forms are on the highest level and the
Long Island Railroad tracks and plat
forms on the lowest level. Between
these two levels is a mezzanine floor TO
facilitate the transfer OF passengers
from the railroad to the elevated lines
or vice versa
The Long Island Railroad has practl-,
cally completed the Woodside- Winfield
cutoff. upon which this new station Will
be located. The cost of this improve
ment will be more than Sl,jOO,OOO and
will straighten the main line between
Woodside and Winfield, saving DIS
lance of six hundred feet, eliminating
a double curve and also eliminating. ten
grade crossings, the largest of which
will be across the 200-feet wide Queens
Boulevard. Across this wide thorough
fare there will be a massive siX-track

Favors Queens Tunnel.

The Real Estate Board has stated TO
the Board of Estimate and Apportlon-
ment its attitude with respect TO the
method of connecting the subway
trains of the 59th st. line with the
Borough of Queens.
Its committee on railroads and trans
portation, +. c. Cammann, chairman,
took this matter up some time ago and
carefully investigated the two proposed
plans, one being to utilize the Queens
borough Bridge and the other to con-
struct a tunnel. While the initial cost
of the tunnel will be more than the
reconstruction of the bridge, the board
took the position that proper economy
would best be served by the adoption
of the tunnel plan. The following
statement by Chairman Cammann was
sent to the members OF the Board of
Estimate prior to recent hearing:
"Sirs: With regard to the question
of utilizing the Queensborough Bridge
or the construction of tunnels for the
purpose Of carrying into the Borough
of Queens the subway trains Of the
59th st. line, the Real Estate Board
has carefully gone into the relative
merits of the two propositions, and has
carefully weighed the problems of
economy anu cllCltHCyt comparing lHc
two projects. As the result of these
investigations this board is convinced
that the wisest course the city could
take would be to construct tunnels for
this purpose and not attempt the use
of the Queensborough Bridge.
There are many arguments that
might be stated leading to this con-
clusion. all of which arguments have
been. or undoubtedly will be, brought
out at the public hearings, but this
board is convinced that the best in
terests Of the city at large, and par
ticularly Of the territory in the Bor-
ough OF Queens, will be served by the
construction of the tunnels"

MOST HEALTHFUL
BIG CITY in STATE
Fewer Deaths in Mount
Vernon Last Year Than
Any Place of Its Class.

According to a health bulletin just
issued, Mount Vernon, in Westchester
County, last year led all other cities
in the state having a population Of
more than $4,000 in having the lowest
death rate. In April Mount Vernon
had only thirty-fve deaths. while its
neighboring city, New Rochelle, had
fOrty-four.
During the year Mount Vernon also
had the second highest number of
births, being PSI per 1000, which was
exceeded by only one in the state,
Niagara Falls, which had 1873 per
cent births per 1000. In New Rochelle
the birth rate was PIP.
The infant mortality per 1000 was:
Mount Vernon, 90; New Rochelle, 95,
and Yonkers, II.
Mayor Edwin w. Fiske says that this
report shows that Mount Vernon is the
healthiest city in Westchester.

OF late there have been made at
tempts to construct aeroplanes. of a
transparent material, at least for all
purposes where a canvas covering is
used at present, such as the wings and
the fuselage, says an exchange. One of
the latest ideas of the kind is said to be
an aeroplane which uses uninfammable
cellu!oid for the wings and other parts.
and when flying at few hundred feet
in the air the apparatus is quite in
visible, according to reports. A new
muffling box on the motor serves TO
deaden the sound. One advantage of
the transparence is that observations
can be made in all directions.
