BIG TRACT SOLD
FOR COPPER PLANT
North American Company Buys
Newark Meadows Property.

Joseph P. Day has sold for the
Newark Factory Sites, Incorporated, to
the North American Copper Company
a large tract of land on the Newark
Meadows. The property has frontage
Of $50 feet on the Hackensack River,

this point much of its metal products

ASKS FOR HEARINGS
ON TRACKAGE PLANS
Views of Public Needed on Gen.
trails Project, SAYS r. +. Board.

If New York City is 10 remain the
first city Of this country it must com
pete with other cities in giving facili-
ties for receiving freight from all rail-
roads and steamship lines that can
enter the city in ways compatible WIN
present day requirements, says the
Real Estate Board Of New York in a
plea 10 the Board OF Estimate. IL
urges the Board Of Estimate TO hold
ample public hearings on the plans
for changing the New York Central s
West Side trackage system. IL lays
especial stress on the fact that sub
marine tunnels are not now 10 a large eX-
tent replacing lighterage and in many
instances shippers expect and require
that freight cars run up and into their
buildings.
The Real Estate Board believes that
the public should be told about the
estimated value Of the present and the
proposed franchises of the New YORK
Central on the West Side. This plea
was expressed in the form OF reso-
luton. The plans for the new track
age system have been jointly consid-
cred by the committee on railroads
and transportation and the committee
on uOchS, ltINlIdlo anu "aici - NhsS "
the organization.
Grade crossings in a large city
have become great source of danger
to life. and in this instance the re-
moval Of the tracks from grade is the
paramount ISSUE" adds the Real Es-
tate Board.
with these points in view it would
seem that the granting of R franchise
such as is proposed and the conserv-
ing of the rights of the people of New
York so far as opportunities for the
entering of other railroads are con-
cerned. should be given great care and
opportunity for discussion by public
bodies that are interested, and reason
able time allowed for this purpose"

cent. This looks unfavorable on the
surface. But the permits for April,
1914, totaled only $210,9O5, which may
be regarded as normal. Present oper-
ations are therefore over 200 per cent
better than normal for that city.
1t was in April last year that the
first favorable report of building oper-
atoms in nine months was made. Dur
ing the earlier months of the Euro
pean war there had been a serious
slump in building operations. But in
April last year the comparative state
ment showed a loss of only one per
cent. The statement for April this
year therefore shows a gain of prac-
tically 10 per cent over normal.

Under New Law Cost of
Examination of $4,000
Parcel Is 500.
REMOVES SOME FLAWS
IN OLD MEASURE
One Payment Insures Premises
for All Future Similar
Transactions.

Certificates Of title can now be
transferred just as easily and quickly
az bank stock, said Register Hopper
yesterday. Governor Whitman recent
ly signed the bill amending the Tor
rens registration law, and the revised
law is now in effect.
"The Torrens law has been on the
books In New York for eight years, but
has been ineffective because of several
features that are foreign to true
Torrens law" added Register Hopper.
1.-THE new law does not correct all
the faults that were In the law, but
several substantial improvements are
made. Registrations are now perma-
nent, and the provisions for the in
surance fund have been broadened.,
"The most important change is that
title examinations for the purpose OF
registration may be made directly by
an official examiner connected with the
Registers office. This work is now
part of the regular public business OF
the Registers Office.
"Thc fees for the official examination
OF title are fixed in the law at $40,
plus 81 a thousand on the value OF the
property-that is, for $4,000 piece
the examination fee is $40.
1.-THE great advantage OF Torrens
certificate is that 1t is issued by the
public Office and has behind 1t the
judgment Of the court and the au-
thority OF the state, making the title
I'll nd fnFnntpqt-
able.
"The public title examining plant in
the Registers office of New YORK
County Is now so well organized that
titles can be examined very quickly
The Registers examination includes
every possible question of title, includ-
ing the survey and an inspection of
the property.
Work of Examiner.
"The official examiner makes a com
plete report on the title which may
be safely relied on by purchaser 10
close his title. Under the law pur-
chaser may go ahead and get this GER
tificate Of title after he has completed
his purchase and closed title. 1t is
not necessary to go through all the
court proceedings before closing title.
when the title is iirst registered, an
insurance premium of one dollar
thousand on the value OF the prop
erty must be paid. This one payment
insures the title for all time-not only
for the present transaction but for all
future transactions as well.
mo searching or examination OF title
is necessary after title is once reg
istered. The only charge is the trans

gagged. The certificates of title are
transferred just as easily and quickly
as bank stock.
Applications may be made at the
Registers office in the Hall of Records
on Chambers Street. The public is IN
vited to call or write for information.
The office will gladly answer any ques-
tions that may be asked or give estl-
mates of the cost of registering a
title"

Reports concerning building oper-

STRANGE SIGNS ON SHIPS
Have Little Meaning to the Uninltiat-
ed, But Are Plainly Understood
by Sailors.

Strange signs frequently hang from
ships which puzzle even jewellers in
seaport towns to guess the meaning
OF. basket slung from the main
mast head is sailors sign to notify
that the cargo has been loaded or dis
charged, as the case may be, and that
the ship is ready to start on her next
trip. This she cannot do until the
usual board of trade formalities have
been observed, and the ships papers,
which, while ship is in port, are de-
posted with the board of trade, have
been returned to the captain.
A generally mysterious emblem is a
bosom dashed to a mainmast or bridge
railing. This is to signify that the YES
sci is for sale.
Occasionally a dark blue stripe may
be seen running fore and aft on a yes
sci; as matter of fact, this is sign
of recent bereavement. Blue is the
sailors mourning, and the stripe of
this color takes the place of the black
margin or band used by the landsmen
as notification of death

MULCHING OF WINTER WHEAT
ing Past Season by South Dakota
Experiment Station.

An experiment is in progress at the
Eureka farm of the South Dakota ex-
pertinent station concerning the mulch
ing of winter wheat. Very interesting
results were obtained during the past
season. The portion of the field which
was mulched with three loads of straw
an acre after the ground froZe in No
vember, 1914, made good winter sur
vival and yielded an excellent crop,
while the fields which were not
mulched, both on corn stubble and
summer fallow, were totally winter
killed
In sections of the state where there
Is more straw than may be used to
good advantage for stock feeding and
bedding, some Of the straw can be util
lied as mulch for winter wheat. APP
proximately three tons of straw an
acre is sufficient. 1t should be used
during the latter part of November
after the wheat has become dormant
for the winter. Old straw piles which
are more or less rotten can be spread
to better advantage than fresh straw
piles, but either may be used. The
straw must be spread very thinly and
evenly for best results, as the wheat
will smother out under thick punches
and kill out on bare spots if the straw
is not properly spread.

The Theater a War Tonic.

Can you imagine the state the
nerves of the country would be in
but for the necessary mind recreation
provided by the theaters?" the Lon
don Chronicle asks in calling atten-
ton to the fact that the war has been
prolonged for more than eighteen
months and that the end is not yet
in sight.
"A weekly evening at one Of tho
theaters,' it goes on, lis a safeguard
against nervous breakdown 1t is
a tonic more effective than Doctors
medicine. All the senses are quick
ened, and instead of depression we
have alertness; optimism instead OF
pessimism. Gladstone went to the the
alter for mind relief in a time of ma
tional strain; so did Abraham Lincoln,
and the late Lord Roberts advocated
showing cheerful countenance to the
world"
