highly pleased with his latest assign
ment. IT could not ask for any bet
ter men to command than Southern
troops, for there are none better" re-
marked General Lewis recently. The

mand at Camp Gordon were issued
while he was still abroad. Upon his
arrival in this country he hastened to

bers of his family, foregoing a leave

the German advance to Paris at Chat
eau Thierry where they gained un-
dying fame.
In July General Lewis was given
command of division, the 30th. The
fighting of this unit is too well known
to southern people 10 repeat it. Cen
eral Lewis organization will always be
remembered as the division that broke
the Hindenburg line.
The Old Hickory division returned
to the states in March at which time
General Lewis was called to duty at
the American general headquarters
in Chaumont, where he remained un-
til returning to the states in June.

Occupations to Devote Time to Realty

The question. "Who has made money
In real estate this year," may best be
answered by tho question. who has
NOT made money in real estate this
year" One is safely within the realm
Of conservatism in saying that near
ly every property sold during the last
eleven months at private contract and
not encompassed by compelling cir
oumstances has brought profit to the
seller. Profit, an unfamiliar word in
the realty market few years ago, Is
rather commonplace these days. Even
in the auction room property is often
turned over at an advance before the
terms of the sale have been signed.
There is no section in this great city,
whether it be the most congested tone
ment neighborhood, the finest dwelling
district, the section where apartment
suites rent for $1,000 a room, or the
little home development in the suburbs,
that has not at least a dozen instances
to hold forth of profits being made by
men and women who have taken fiers
IN the realty market.
For this reason the year 1919 will
hold q big place in real estate history.
because it will be remembered as the
period that marked the great revival Of
real estate interest in New York, the
recovery of values lost in the panic
Of 1907.
First in interest. therefore. is not
Who has made money out of real es-
tate? but Vino has made the most?
since every one who has entered the
market for speculation has made some.
There is no formula for arriving at
such conclusion except the gossip

How a ; Per Cent
Tax Would Affect You

"A tax rate Of 3 per cent would
have the effect of raising the rent
OF every $50 a month apartment,
store, loft and office from So to So
a month; every $500 month apart
ment, store, loft and Office from 81
to $40 q month, and 80 on. This
would make q total to be turned
over by the owner for taxes, out
of every 800 month rent, Of from
$18 to $780," says the Building Man.
ayers and Owners Association, in
a statement issued yesterday.
In normal time the increase Of
taxes was long time showing it
self in the rents. But now, with
the city underbuilt, rents are SEN
sitive to every expense affecting the
net income of real estate, and in
creased taxes will be almost imme-
diately reflected in increased rents.
The sorry part Of it is that not
only the increased taxes are added
to the rent but 81 month increase
in taxes turns out to be, too often,
IS increase in rent.
Citizens would take more inter
est in city expenses if they paid
these taxes directly to the city in
stead of through the landlord. 1t
would hell if the rent bills were
strikingly stamped: 'One-fifth Of
this rent is for city taxes. Watcr
your city's expenditures; you are
paying them.

be belttled because Mr.. Broker is a
tarseelng and an able gentleman who
learns little about every one active in
the market as he goes his way from
one client to another with proposals
which very often are worth q good deal
more consideration than some give to
them. Mr.. Broker says that he could

in the market during the year, because
all the big fellows have made money
and lot of it.
Many new men are in the market
and they, too, have made money, SO

their ola businesses to study the
possibilities of real estate Some
brokers think that Frederick Brown
has harvested more money in the real

deals, they say, have never seen the
light of publicity, so it does not fol-
low that the most advertised trader
has made the most money. The opinion
is that Robert f. Bowling, Robert F..
Simon, Frederick Brown, Max Natan-
son, Clarence W. Eckardt, Richard S.
Elliott, Sigsbee Graham. Norman S.
Riescnfeld, Joseph Shenk and Elias A.

of the market.
Of course. elimination would center
the selection of the big money getters
of the realty field this year on about
five men, whose names arc too we'll
known to need to be mentioned. Fred
erck Brown is said to have made ST.
100000 in real estate this year. 1t is g.
big heap of money, and some will ques-
ton the correctness of the estimate
Mr.. Brown has been an active man
this year. He has bought every char
acter OF property and in every section
of the city. During the year he has
bought and sold lofts and dwellings
on and near Fifth Avenue, big CONNER
interest the wenlthiest of families. He
also has held apartments through the
West Side and The Bronx and prop
erty in the big business district of
the city, that is, in the downtown iinan-
cial zone.
Mr.. Brown does not know offhand
how many properties he has taken
under contract during the year nor
what he has made out of this or that
property. He is regarded as one Of the
keenest traders in the city, quick
actor who will accept or dismiss a
proposition within day after it has
been submitted. Brokers say that he
gets up at the break of day and in his
automobile travels around the city in
specting the property which has been
offered to him the previous day. On
