Realty History To
Be Made To-day
In Auction Room
Bennett Estate of 500 Lots
on Heights TO Be Parti-
toned; Event Long
Has Been Anticipated

Real estate history will be made to-
day in the Vesey Street auction room
AT noon the partition of the realty
holdings of James Gordon Bennett, on
Washington Heights, anticipated for
years, will be started. Bought in 1885
when farm, the property has been
held through all the periods of devel-
opment which have marked the upper
sections Of the city, each forward step
increasing the determination of Mr.,
Bennett to hold on for an end which
he never disclosed to his friends.
His property often has been referred
to as "New York's Chinese Wall" be-
cause it stood in the way of the north
ward procession Of development. 1t is,
perhaps, the largest undeveloped prop
erty under one ownership in the city.
There are five hundred lots in the
property to be offered to-day, and ac-
cording to statement issued yester-
day by Joseph P. Day, who will auction
the land, he will not stop calling for
bids until the last lot has been dis
posed of. Mr.. Day has done big things
In the auction market, and the asser-
tion that he will sell all the lots be-
tore the end Of the day is not boast
II expect to sell every lot before 1
leave the salesroom," Mr.. Day said yes
terday, but in the event of severe and
out competitive bidding it
may be impossible to get through at a
reasonable hour. But never mind what
happens, every lot will be sold to the
highest bidder, and it is my advice to
be in the salesroom early and to stick
until the end. I have not the slightest
reason for believing that there will be
a second day sale, as the public has
been waiting almost 100 years for a
chance to buy some of this property.
bidding should be fast and spirited
throughout the sale, but, as in the case
of every big auction Offering, there al
ways is bound to be a certain number
of bargains, especially where the prop
erty must be sold, regardless of the
price offered.
can interesting fact in connection
with this sale is that several prominent
building loan operators and builders
have assured me of their intention to
At once erect high grade apartment
houses in large units provided they
succeed in buying the sites they have
picked out.
"This sale should go down in history
as the one big real estate event of 1919
hat helped ia a practical way to solve
he distressing housing problem and
70 give employment to many of our
discharged soldiers. This it will sue
iced in doing if the builders who buy
1t the sale will at once complete their
arrangements for building and then

"This office will do all.it can to help

"and the Mayor and the Police De-

of keeping the others. off the street
is, of course, police power" e.
Ir answer to Mr.. Swann's question
whether it was not possible to approve
of all new stocks bsfore they were
listed, Mr.. Dunn replied, "it Is our
inte ntion to do So"
Mr.. Swami emphasized that it was
necessary for the public to know the
worthless stocks, especially those
dealing with oils and minerals He
suggested the committee give his of

traders and their stocks.
