There arc quite a large number Of
prominent real estate brokers who
have worked their way into New
York" 20 use common expression IN
the realty world. | know one broker
who little over twenty years ago
had a small Office in Brooklyn; to-day
he is on the tOpmost rung OF the
ladder Of fame and success on the To-
cal market. ! will not tell Of this
plan of business, as last year called
attention to the food of letters now
being received from young men seek
ing a Job with a building or brokerage
or some other concern connected with
the local fraternity Of landlords,
agents, etc, and described many
spheres OF usefulness open to will
inc workers. who can learn in the real
estate field Of New York.
Occasionally some Of New York's
most spectacular leaders have climbed
20 the most coveted places IN the To-
cal market in dazziingly rapid fashion.
No difficulties apparently were able TO
retard their footsteps. But they arc
the exceptions 10 the general course OF
affairs: most newcomers have TO travel
over a hard and tempestuous way be
fore they get near the promised land OF
rich awards and less strenuous work
days. In following this business sys-
TEN il is necessary TO select first OF all
some suburban town as held OF
brokerage activity. The town must
not be somnolent in realty sense
IL takes d past master in realty affairs,
otherwise called a realty genius, TO
awake such a town. 20 arouse 1t 10 pro-
n
cnticing suburban centre. In every
suburban district there are numerous
growing towns where there viii al
ways be found room for one or
more hustling young men who are OF
good character. and who have the abll-
ity 10 become capable statesmen. On
Long Island there are Freeport, Hemp
stead. Rockville Center, Lynbrook and
many other places, all delightful and
rapidly growing home centres,
where, ] am sure, there are numerous
realty brokerage opportunities for the
young man just starting out as a
broker. am also certain that those
towns would be glad TO have such
young men.
Many OF the brokers in the towns
will say that their ranks are over
crowded and that only the most for
tunate brokers can make a comfortable
living. Hundreds Of New York brokers
are continually saying that there is
not enough realty business in Goth
am for even one-half OF the pres
cnt number Of commission men. Scores
of these men were giving voice 20
these expressions a decade ago. yet
the croakers don't look as il the blight
Of poverty had touched them. Mean
while many new names have been
written on the scrolls Of success in
the local realty market. And Robert
F.. Bowling. who was opc Of the pio-
neer spectators in the Fifth ave.
shopping section, and others OF his
type say they wish they could renew
,heir youth and begin business life
all over again as newcomers in the
realty field

TO AID AGAIN
BUDGET MAKERS
Special Committee of the
Realty Board to Sit
at Hearings.

IL has been the custom of the Real
Estate Board Of New York since 1914
10 have its representatives, sit with the
budget committee of the Board OF Estl-
mate and examine into and analyze de-
partmental estimates.
In 1914 the board caused to be pre-
pared an elaborate analysis Of the en-
tire city budget and made number Of
very important recommendations,
large part of which were adopted
either that year or in 1915 b. the city
administration. Some important econo-
mics were effected through the 1916
Legislature.
The Real Estate Board will take up
the same work this year and the fol-
lowing have been appointed commit
tee on the city budget: Charles A..
Cone, chairman: Charles f. Noyes,
Warren Cruiksnank, H. II. Murdoch,
f. A. Tredwell. Edward p. Doyle,
Frank II. Tyler and w. d. Fitzpatrick.
This committee met last Wednesday
and appointed Laurence Mcclure, pres
ident of the board; Richard o. Chit
tick, executive secretary, and Edward
=. Doyle a special committee to attend
meetings of the budget committee to
examine into departmental estimate
and TO report back to the full COM
mittee the result of their Investigations
and their recommendations The policy
of the committee on the budget is not
TO criticise individual salaries or to
anv great extent the disbursements OF
the various city and borough depart
ments, but to consider principles OF
economy rather than individual items.
If the board believes, for instance.
that the Commissioners of Accounts are
unnecessary and that their work can
be just as well accomplished b. one of
the bureaus in the Controllers office,
il will say so. Or if it should decide
that in its opinion certain committees
of the Board of Estimate merely dupli-
cate work of other boards in the city
government. it will recommend the abo-
lition of such committees.
Whenever a recommendation Is made
il will be after careful investigation
and action by the full committee with
lnOTOuHn Oel4DeIdbIoH' nc uo'iu w
lieves that the budget of this year
should not exceed the budget of 1915,
less the appropriation for direct state
tax. II believes that sufficient econo-
mics can be effected TO more than offset
the increase in the debt service charge
and the amount necessary to be placed
in the budget because of the pay-as-
you-go policy. The board also says
that there must be some reduction OF
real estate assessed valuations for va
rous reasons, one of which is the adop-
ton of the coming proposition and the
heights of buildings restrictions, and
therefore unusual care must be taken
in making up the budget in order to
prevent any serious increase in the tax
rate. "Such an increase az the present
time would be disastrous and should at
all costs be avoided" it adds.

Long Business WAY Not Best.

Taking the long suburban route into
New York is not as satisfactory as that
Of locating N suburban town and
specializing as broker and appraiser
in properties Of that section. Store
space suitable for realty Offices can be
rented in many prosperous suburban
places. where there are constantly in
oreasing opportunities for wide
awake, honest young broker. II does
not require large outlay of money 10
furnish such an Office. Besides the
furniture and fixtures. there should be
some large wall maps of the section
and desk realty maps describing the
kind Of houses and area of the home
sites, developments and unimproved
land Of the centre. 4 card index sys-
TEN Of all sales, leases and offerings
In the section should be at once in
stalled. although ! am sorry TO relate
that there are successful brokerage
Offices IN the suburbs without records

bargain. In my estimation, realty
bargain does not necessarily have to be
Il parcel of land or q house or a lease
hold at a considerably less figure than
at present market prices for similar
properties or below the price paid by
the present owner. If you buy $4,000
house and year or two later you can
rot occupy it owing to the demands Of
your business or for other causes. and
are then able to rent it on per cent
net basis, that house is a realty bar
gain TO you. Some people think they
arc getting a per cent net yearly re-
turn from realty when they are far
from getting such an income. II your
maintenance and other incidental eX-
penses and profit on $4,000 house will
be about as follows you have realty
bargain, presumng that your equity
OF investment in the house is $1,000
over a $4,000 mortgage at 5 per cent:
Rental, $3.50 a month, or $3.50 a
year
Interest Oh $4,000 mortgage at 5 per
cent, 500.
To be set aside for yearly deprecia-
ton OF house, $40.
To meet yearly taxes. $50.
To defray yearly repairs, $50.
or unexpected expense, SSU.
Thus the total yearly carrying
charge is 5000 year and your income
On money invested $50. or per cent.
Ii your house should be unoccupied for
some months you will have set aside
fund. known as the unexpected ex-
pense account. to meet such an emer-
gency. You will notice have not taken
into account at all the probable in
crease in the value Of the land. II may
be negligible or big. II it is nothing
at all, when you decide to sell you
won't be disappointed, and if you get
Il much higher price you will loudly
sound the ecumen OF the broker who
sold you the property.
TO determine whether or not unim-
proved property is offered az a bar
gain price 20 a prospective buyer is a
difficult task. AS an old Pine Street
trader would say, at all depends on the
size OF the buyers pocketbook." II he
can meet the taxes and assessments
promptly and can wait years before
finding a person to pay him for his
trouble and expense OF holding the
land, he would likely be getting q bar
gain If the land was purchased at a
little less than the prevailing market
prices.
