CHANCES GOOD FOR
PROJECT SAYS DODD

There is good chance for the Nc
Kay reservoir project in the Mondell
bill, IL it passes congress, and there
will be good chance for the reser-
voir in another bill to provide money
for completing existing irrigation pro-
jects that will be presented in the
event the Mondell bill does not pass.
This is the view of Z. p. Dodd, who
-cturned tn Hermiston Saturday after
a month spent in Washington in be-
half of the project. Mr. Dodd's chief
work consisted in raking reports on
the project out of pigeon holes and
getting consideration for them. He
feels that he accomplished consider
able good and that the reservoir will
be taken up sooner or later.

Negligence on the part of the
watchman is blamed for the fire. Ket-
ties containing asphalt were being
heated and the liquid in one Of the
kettles flowed over the top, ran into

whole crew was called out to fight

Nearby buildings, including the

Sale OF improved and Vacant investments of the
Late Contractor in Three Borougl,s Should BE Of
Much Interest to Investors

Investors, as we'll as the public il
general, will probably be interested II
knowing that the large realty holdings
Of the late John D. Crimmins in this
city, The Bronx and Queens, will be sole
at public auction by Joseph P. Day, j.,
the Vesey Street salesroom, on Tues
day, October q. The properties are
both improved and vacant
Mr. Crimmins was one Of the best
known contractors Of his day. and while
he made many realty purchases he
made them all for investment purposes
and not for speculation. He was a
leader of the old school of investors
1t is apparent from the list of
properties to be sold that Mr. Grim
Minis took the broad view that the con-
struction Of new transit lines would
be the cause of a momentous redstri-
button of population, and that real es-
tate in practically every section of
the city would respond to the stimulus
of these accelerators. He bought as
freely in The Bronx as in Manhattan
and extended his operations to Long
Island City where he held number
of variously located parcels.
Following are the improved proper
ties to be sold: 1887 to 1o43 Third
Avenue; 243 East Fifty-seventh Street;
225 East Sixty-seventh Street; 253- 257-
239-26l West 1l3th Street: the south

include the IS lots comprising the

Herbert Dongan. who has filed the
plans for the building, has erected

He has been attracted to Long Island
