oughfare with trolley line to the
waterfront. The running time Of
loaded hve-ton truck from the bulk
head to Fifth Avenue and Forty-second
Street, n distance of under seven
miles, is less than forty minutes.
Because of the fact that the prom
ertSy is easily reached by subways and
trolIeys, and that it actually taps a
population of several millions, the local
labor conditions arelmost ideal A
crosstown trolley line, which runs d.
rect to the waterfront, makes connec-

Demand for Waterfront Property
The demand for available wator-
frontage, suitable for large terminal
and wharfage accommodations in New
ork harbor, has constantly increased
IN the last few years There is less
than 22d miles Of developed dockare
IN the City of New York. and over
three miles Of new WHARFAGE is being
added each year. 1t is evident. there

choice , industrial waterfront property.
An important feature Of this prop
erty Is that on the easterly portion
the bulkhcad is located 1000 feet
pack OF the pierhcad line. This pcr-
mlts OF the construction Of solid filled
or open piers, 1000 feet in length.
The bulkheading Is in two sections.
that to the east of Hunts Point Avenue
haylng an over all length of about
Lao feet, to tho west about 1850 feet.
between those two bukheads lie the
headlands of Hunts Point, with n
frontage of approximately 1000 feet
reserved by the City of New York fo,.
use az a public park.
The property lies Just west of the
mouth Of the Bronx River. to which a
low tide channel of ten feet depth has
been dredged as far back as West
chester Avenue.
Convenient to Railroads
The Oak Point yard Of the New
Haven Railroad is about one-half mile
from the property, and rail connection
to the property can be made also from
the Pocahontas branch Of the New
York Central Railroad, which termi-
mates at Port Morris on the East River.
and taps both the main line of the New
York Central and its Harlem division.
Trucking facilities are Of the best

will be entirely absorbed before many
years. The indications are that the
requirements in 1920 for repair yards
and drydocks in New York harbor Will
exceed three times the number avail
able, particularly for vessels of larger
tonnage. Vessels are now forced to
go from New York harbor to Newport
News, Va, and other distant points
tor drydocking on account of the ire
mcndous inadequacy Of this port.
All the lots which are being sold by
the Bronx Terminal Corporation, lying
between this property and Oak Point
Avenue, are to be sold subject to an
easement reserved in favor OF the
waterfront plots for the construction,
operation and maintenance of any rail
road, or railroads, which may hereafter
be built for the purpose of connecting
such waterfront property, or any part
thereof, with the tracks of the New
York. New Haven and Hartford Rail
road Company, New York Central Rail
road Company, New York Connecting
Railroad Company, or any other rail
roads.
This wise reservation is taken to
mean that all this easterly part of the
Hunts Point district may eventually de-
velop into d beehive Of small indus
tries now located in sections of the
city where land values and rentals are
considerably higher, and whore the
passenger and freight transportation
facilities by rail or water are inferior.
