Among these might be mentioned the
following:
The mortgage market is very good,
with mortgage money most plentifui
for investment on we'll located prop
critics at reasonable rates or interest.
The great new $300.000000 rapid
transit system which is now nearly
completed will benefit nearly every
section of the greater city. The com
nletion of this system has been hoped
for and promised for some time, not
there are signs of its actual compile
ton on nearly every line, and, rr-
thermore. IL is promised by the vari-
Gus officials, city and otherwise, who
are interested in its completion. The
running of trains will see a very &C
tive period Of buying and building OF
anartment houses, etc, for which
there is now room and demand for
space.
The absence of building operations
in the last year, due to the abnormal
cost of construction, has resulted IN
the situation where vacancies we're
never 40 few and rentals proportion
ately so high. This situation has en-,
abled builders and operators TO MI
their buildings and offer and sell
them on a much more attractive basis.
This class of buyers will probably be
very active in the market this year,
especially in view of the near compile
ton os the new transit system and
easy mortgage conditions.
The general business prosperity IN
this city and throughout the country
AT large will undoubtedly continue ar
ter the war, in spite of the argument
of many people that 1T Is due to that
cause, as they fail to bring into con-
siderstion the fact that previous TO
the start of the war the entire coun-
trv had been passing through re-
adjustment such as has always been
the forcrunner of general business &C
tivity.
We have had a demonstration Of the
vast amount Of investment capital
through the enormous buying Of
stocks and bonds. But the severe
shoek which the stock market recent
IL received will probably result in
part Of this capital seeking invest
ment in the best and safest security
the world offers, viz, New York real
estate.
Coupling the above belief with the
we'll Known theory that real estate IS
the last to 20 down ard the last 10
recover, I feel that II Is very safe TO
predict that this year will see great
irrpro, cment in real estate and a re
vivri Of Us oldtimc activity.

this class resold their purchases at

NOT HAVE TO
FIND LIEN BUYERS
Bill TO Permit Delinquents to
Paw CITY Collector

The Advisory Council Of Real Estate
Interests believes it is advisable that
all property owners and taxpayers as
sociations should support the bill pre-
pared by the Citizens Union, which
would amend the charter of the city so
as to permit the interest on tax liens
TO be paid not only to the purchaser
of these liens, but also TO the Col
lector OF Assessments and Arrears IN
the Finance Department. ms Dill is
aimed to end the difficulty met by
many delinquent taxpayers in their
effort to locate a purchaser of the tax
lien. If the bill becomes law 1T viii
not be necessary for the delinquent
taxpayer to find the purchaser, whose
address is oftentimes unknown. BY
payment of the tax lien direct to the
Collector Of Assessments and Arrears
all the requirements of the law will
have been complied with.

REAL ESTATE DINNER
AT WALDORF SATURDAY
Mayor Mitchell and Senator
Brown Among Speakers

While some minor, but none the less
interesting, details for the twenty-frst
annual dinner of the Real Estate Board
on February are still incomplete,
Elisha Snifin, chairman, says conii-
IDENTIFY that the dinner and the attend
ance will surpass the twenty previous
ones. As the chairman is an expert IN
matters of this kind and an optimist
no one doubts his prophecy.
Mayor Mitchell and Senator Elon r.
Brown, majority leader in the Senate,
will be the chief speakers. The indi-
cations thus are that tho diners will
listen to entertaining remarks on two
subjects in which they are vitality in
terested namely, municipal affairs and
state government.
Aside from the speakers some I'M
ususl feature in the way of entertain
mcnt has been provided. But there is
n good deal of mystery surrounding
this part of the programme.

OF this number 1896 were dwelling
houses, sss stores, 80 factories and
1903 miscellaneous structures. On the
basis Of these figures. tho population
was increased between 10000 and To-
900 in 1916.
Every one Of the i60-odd towns sGd
villages listed constructed new build
ings in 1915. More than 100 struct-
ures were put up in each Of the fol-
lowing places: Aryene, Bsyshore

as being destined in the near future
TO be among the largest manufsctur

tinues: The labor supply cannot bo
equalled in any other part Of tho
United States. and a special feature
is being made of housing tho employees
OF the many factories that arc coming

"The completion of the New York
Connecting Railroad, with its bridge
over He'll Gate, will make an all-rsil
route between points reached b. the
Long Island Railroad and points on
or reached via tho New York. Nev
Haven & Hartford Railroad. IL is ex-
pected that operation via this routs
will begin early in 1917. Industries
shipping to or from New England
should appreciate the opportunities
presented by this direct sll-rsil route.
"A very important thing that should
not be overlooked is that a location
in the Borough of Brooklyn or Queens
presents to the workers an oppor-
tunity to live on Long Island, in tho
country or at the seaside
