Obituary.

On the morning of June IA, 1915, the
spirit of Mrs. James B. Doty departed
from its earthly body and returned 10
he Creator. AS a wife, she was faith
fIl as a mother, her loving and un-
selfish devotion was sublime; as SIS
ter. she was affectionate and loyal; as
a friend, she was constant and true |,
as a neighbor, she was generous ana
hospitable. Her loving sympathy ana
tender compassion went out to all VINO
were in sorrow, in need, in suffering
and in distress, and she was ever ready
To lend a helping hand to the untor-
innate and homeless. She realized the
snirit of the fatherhood of God and
the brotherhood of man, which en-
braces all of mans duties and obliga-
tions 10 Cd and man. The hearts OF
her husband, sons and daughter are SAD
and desolate and they are yearning'
oh 80 helplessly "for the touch OF a
vanished hand and the sound OF voice
that is still" Farewell but not forev-
or for faith has painted on the lower
inc clouds of bereavement in the radl-
ant letters of hope the intuitive belief
of the soul that we shall meet again in
the spirit land. May the sorrowing
members of her family find this faith
and hone a present help and comfort IN
this time of great trouble. Let not
vonr hearts be troubled" for a home

loved ones were waiting ard gstenlnS
IN welcome her home. l.. ,. DOI1.

nights visit, enjoying the companion
ship and entertaining of many friends
OF boyhood days.
We really believe we are gong TO
have good roads, for the Ford people
are out with their drags and scrapers,
not waiting for the county, but dong
the work themselves. 1t won't be long
till every we'll to do farmer will have
a Ford car, therefore the good roads
which means all kind of good things,
resulting in happy life in the country
instead Of discQntent and compIainlngs.
Much damage has been done to crops
in this section from the continued
rains. The creamery route is proving
a boon to many of its patrons by pro-
viding cash that can't be expected
from the crops, this rarely proving
sufficient to meet debts already made.
The people of the county have a good
enterprise in this creamery, and we
hope to see them work together for its
complete success; excusing unavoid-
able.mistakes, and helping with a good
word when not possible to do more.
When on q visit to friends at West we
had the pleasure of a visit to the
creamery, where we were most agree
ably entertained with description Of
the maagemennt # the enterprise.

LARGE SALE OF
SEASHORE TRACT
407 Lots at Wave Crest
To Be Disposed Of
at Auction.

What will probably be the largest
auction sale of New York City ocean
, front property ever held has just been
arranged for as a result of the deci-
sion of the stockholders Of Edgemere
Crest Inn.
The company owns what is regarded
as one of the finest tracts of seashore
property in the greater city, located
just west Of the Wave Crest section of
Far Rockaway and few minutes walk
from the Edgemere station. The Trop-
erty was accumulated in January, 1909,
by the company and has since been
fully developed with city improvements.
including sewers, sidewalks, finished
streets, etc. Over sixty houses have
been built within the last year or two.
The decision of the stockholders has
been arrived at owing to its being ne
/ cessary that the affairs of the company
be wound up. There are about 4O7 lots
and seven cottages in the company's
/ holdings.
The VI. Morgenthau, Jr.. Company and
/ Fitz James f. Brown have been COM
missioned as agents and auctioneers to
/ conduct an absolute auction sale of this
property, and they have decided TO hold
a sale on the premises beginning Sat
urday afternoon, July "a. The sale
will be continued on Monday and Tues
day nights, July 20 and p, under an
electrically lighted tent on the prem
| Uses.
As far as is known, this is the first
! time that sale OF seashore property
has been held on the property at night.
| VI. Morgenthau, jr., president OF the
! Morgenthau Company, in speaking OF
/ the sale yesterday said:
1--WE realize that we are undertaking
big contract in the disposition Of
| such a large number of lots and houses
! in midsummer, at a time when IT is
most difficult to make real estate sales.
/ Still, we feel that two factors will work
| TO make this sale genuine success. In
| the first place, we have induced the
[ owners to make the most liberal terms
which have ever been offered in the sale
/ Mt euction of New York City lots. Only
/ 10 per cent in cash will be required;
/ the full balance Of 90 per cent may be
paid in monthly payments extending
J over a period of three years.
an the second place, we will be able
4 to show that there is only a very lin
/ tied amount of ocean side property IN
/ New York City, and that most of this
is already appropriated for amusement
enterprises, public bathing beaches,
parks and the like. So there remains
very little ocean side property which is
suitable for high class home improve
ment. such as Edgemere Crest.
This section was formerly occupied
solely as summer resort Through
the improvements in the service of the
Long Island Railroad and the building
OF the tunnels connecting Long Island
with Manhattan. this section has been
brought within half an hour of Herald
Square and Wall Street. The result
has been that this section is now being
occupied by residents who make their
/ home here for the whole year.

OPPORTUNITIES AT
RICHMOND HILL
Many for Homeseekers'
Investors and Apart
ment Builders.

Howard J. Barlow, one of the fore
most brokerage specialists in Richmond
Hill and adjacent properties, holds
firmly to the opinion that this is one
of the most opportune times that have
ever occurred to build, buy or lease
in the district in which he is promi
nent
Here are vast opportunities" says
Mr. T iilow. for hOmeseekers, for in
vestors and also for builders who spe
cialize in the construction of the best
type of apartment house with suites
OF about four or five rooms. Hardly a
day has passed this year that | have
not received many applications for
such suites in this locality, not only
from residents of Brooklyn, but from
persons who have travelled far to find
homes in the section.
Jamaica av., the great business
artery from the Brooklyn line to ia
maica, traverses many delightful home
centres, but, in my estimation, none
more picturesque, more conveniently
located or more healthful than Rich
mond Hill. Richmond Hill is an ideal
home colony in the greater city, and
yet its residents are able to enjoy
MANY, if not all. of the most highly
priced suburban features. The land is
high and rolling here and the twists
and turns Of many highways make il
possible TO bring out fully the natural
beauty Of innumerable home sites and
0y the deft skill Of the landscape archi-
tect to increase the charms of the
place.
Richmond Hill has excellent transit
facilities. and in the near future v hen
the old line of the Long Island hail
road running from Long Island City
20 this place is made part of the UNI
der river tube system of the railroad
and the Il on Jamaica av. Is in opera
ton, it will have unequalled transit
links joining the section to Manhattan,

HEARING ON EAST
RIVER TUNNELS
Mayor Will Hold Special
Meeting on Friday
Next on Project.

Acting on the request of the Cham
Der Of Commerce Of the Borough OF
Queens, Mayor Mitchell has called a
special meeting OF the Board OF Esu-
mate for Friday morning next 10 ACT
on the question OF the construction OF
tunnels under the East River for the
operation of the Brooklyn Rapid ran
sit subway trains Of the Broadway
Fifty-ninth Street line. In February
the Board of Estimate oihciaIly APP
proved the tunnel method of bringing
these trains across the East River, but
the Public Service Commission has
forwarded a report favoring the re-
. construction of the greensboro bridge
for this purpose.
As this subject is Of vital importance
to all the business interests o. the
Borough of Queens, 1t is expected that
one of the largest delegations OF busl-
ress men from this borough Will be
present at the hearing, urging that the
city officials proceed. according TO thelr
resolution of last February, 70 bull d
tunnels in place Of reconstructing the
bridge, in order that the present wide
vehicular roadway will not be mar
rowed. II has been pointed our that
any narrowing of this roadway VIII re-
suit in the greatest harm to the rapid "
growing industrial and residential de-
velopment of the Borough OF Queens.
Borough President Connolly has
been active in working to have the
city settle this question Immediately
and favors the construction OF tunnels.
He believes that il will be a great mis-
take to retard the development of
Queens by narrowing the present wide
roadway of the bridge, as the traffic
across this main artery between Man
haitian and Queens is increasing each
dav at an amazing rate.
The Queens Chamber of Commerce
and all the local and civic organiza-
tions Of the borough are unit i'm de
handing that the city officials come 70
an immediate decision. The Advisory
Council of Real Estate Interests and
! the Citizens Union Of New York have
also taken the stand that the city
should build tunnels and leave the
bridge alone.
c. G.. VI. Thomas, president of the
chamber, said yesterday:
1.-THE greatest industrial development
/ in New York City to-day is within 6
half -mle radius of the greensboro
| Bridge There is no doubt that the
easy access from Queens to Manhattan
by way of the bridge has been one OF
the most potent factors in bringing tC
| Queens the manufacturers who wish tC
be located within easy reach of theii
| Manhattan markets. To reduce the
availability of the bridge roadway
will discourage further industrial de
velopment, and I doubt if the serious
effect of narrowing the bridge road
way upon not only the Borough Of
| Queens but the entire City of New
| York Is fully realized by the city Off
Gals. or they would not consider doinl
: so for a moment"
