in Suffolk County brings to-day, say,
from $l2 to $35 an acre. And even this
value is largely predicated on the fact
that land companies have been willing
to pay such prices. An acre cuts up
into sixteen or seventeen twenty-foot
lots, depending upon the width of the
streets shown on the sales map, but
individual lots carved out of such
acreage cease to have any real value
They are not worth the carfare it takes
to inspect them, and they are not worth
paying the taxes, however nominal,
that may be imposed upon them.
These worthless lots have been sold
to gullible public at prices from SIS a
lot or less up to 500 or more. All
kinds of methods have been used in
their disposal. Oily tongued soliciting
agents, working on a high commission
basis, have followed up every conceiv-
able lead and have even gone from
door to door. Flamboyant ADVERTISE
ments have appeared broadcast
throughout the country. The slogan of
the typical promoter has always been
''rhe Astors and the Goelets have made
millions out of real estate, and now is
the accepted time for you" Arrange
ments have been made sometimes with
merchants to give away lot to every
one buying goods aggregating a certain
presents have been given the purchas-
ers OF lots. Lots have been offered
free of charge to selected few" to
add tone to some new development,
and lots often have been advertised as
prizes in puzzle-guessing contests,
where every one who sent in an an
swer was winner. In the latter in
stances there was charge of S. to
cover the expenses of the deed, which
fee in itself represented a handsome
profit. and the recipient OF the pro-
moter's generosity, if he had the in
stinct of a human being, was expected
to purchase the adjoining lot at $50
or over But enough of this.
Losses OH Lot Purchases
The aggregate amount that has been
lost in purchasing these worthless lots
has been enormous, but the individual
losses, though in many instances of
vital import to the victims, have been

Looks for Greatest Upward
Movement In Real Estate
Money Pouring In for lnvestment-MateriaI Prices
Dropping Labor Still Problem Building
Campaign Must Start Soon

lowest rates we have ever known will
prevail
Materials Coming Down
Materials are advertised at high
prices and sold at concessions. Pro-
oucers are anxlously asking, "When do
you think building will actually begin?'
NY answer IS, when you material
men get down to earth-down to the
prices OF l9l4." "But the cost of pro-
duction is doubled" is the plea, "and
we VIII not sell below cost" "Ths
trouble is, friend lumbermen, the cost
Oh production has nothing to do with
prices at this time. Demand determines
prices IN perishable products. II you
40 not cut the other fellow will, and the
TACT IS, the other fellow is doing ex-
actly this thing" One can buy lumber
twenty points off the market. Brick
nomlnaily at S15 can readily be had at
Siz. Plumbing, stearfitting and other
branches OF the building material IL
oustry are advertising lower prices.
The matter of labor presents seri-
Gus side to the man possessing social
consciousness. With the cost of living
high, no one wishes to see the wages
OF labor reduced, and yet the cost Of
living can go down only through the
reduced cost of its predominating fac
tor-IaDor. SO we see the same situs-
ton IN the labor market - a disre-
garded labor scale and unions closing
their eyes to infractions of their rules.
Regrettable as the situation is from
the point of view of the banker, mate
rial man and labor, it is the only way
OF getting down to brass tacks, as lt
were, and starting that building &C.
tIvlty, which means much for the coun-
try, more for the producers of COM
modltles, but, most of all, for the SUI
fering renter and the long suffering
owner of real estate. If this analysis
is correct, the real estate business IS
due to respond shortly to the alb
normal demand that has been pert
mp the last few years by artificial cor
ditions.
Capital Is Ready
The ownership of real estate is dis
tinctly individualistic, and the vas'
army of owners represent a very large
percentage of the voting population.
This fact guarantees freedom from
interference beyond that enjoyed BY
~-N~'S any cehSi AiiU VI p1cPC'ey'
Capital, 'on the other hand, con-
stantiy accommodating, cannot remain
permanently idle. 1t will seek me
safest channels. and these are largely
represented by national, state OF

institutions and real estate. Obviously

but it is illustrative and designed 70

the government on opportunities J"

These circumstances are what leao
me to the conclusion that the next iee
years will witness the greatest upwaia
movement the country has ever knows
in attractively located real estate--aA
activity that is only patiently awsiar
ing return to normal conditions.

A matter of some months ago,
while many of our boys were still
over there in France there was talk,
that it was hoped would materialize
into something more substantial, re-
lative to a monument or memorial to
commemorate the memory of the SOL
diers from this county, both the fall
len heroes and those who have re-
turned home. To-day the matter
practically stands where it did when
first agitated while other communi-
ties have in the meantime put over
the project and have accomplished
something over which both the boys
and themselves have every reason to
be proud Of. Only last W eek it is
noted that the people of Emerson,
Manitoba, and vicinity have erected
a monument in honor of the boys
from that community who enlisted
