Most of these early Dutch houses were

upon local materials. They could not

School Facilities Are Good.
To the average householder OF mod
crate means, however the advanta ges
OF scenery, roads, clubs and sites for
splendid estates are subordinate to
the question of school facilities and
other features which directly affect the
taxpayer. The educational facilities Of
fered are exceptionally good, both public
and private schools being numerous and
maintaining a high standard of instruc-
ton.
In speaking of the forthcoming sale,

offer such 'gilt-edged' property at public
auction. The element of chance in
buying Broadway lots does not exist ;
their value is assured for all time
It does not take a great stretch of
the imagination to foresee that Broad
way north of 242d street will be the
scene of the, next large building move

It cannot longer be deferred. and those
who have the foresight to buy lots at
this sale will reap the benefit of their
foresight
Negotiations are under way to
finance building operations, and an
nouncement to that effect is expected
to be made at the time of the sale.

sible to reproduce this or any other old
Dutch house exactly, for 1t does not
meet with modern conditions. The
original pattern of the old Dutch houses
was forced, even in the earliest days
by local conditions of one kind or an
other in various communities, into
something very different in each settle
