Bargain prices will prevail at the Inter
borough auction to be held on Tuesday
next, is the opinion of Jose ph P. Day,
the auctioneer. Mr.. Day bases his be-
lief chiefly on the small number of in
quiries which have been received con-
cerning the sale, which will be con-
Quoted in the Vesey Street salesroom.
The money received for the property
will be used to meet interest due on
bonds held by the Interborough.
The sale comprises 100 lots on
Broadway. Ninety eight of these lots
are on the east side of Broadway at
2l8th, 219th and 22oth streets and
Ninth Avenue, and ninety-two lots on
the west side of Broadway, opposite
Van Cortlandt Park. at 238th, 239th and
and 242d streets, and on Spuyten Duy-
vii Parkway at and between 238th and
242d Street subway stations. Most
Of these lots are in sections which will
likely be marked by considerable build
ing activity when building gets under
way. The store and Office building at
1856 and 158 East Forty-second Street,
between Lexington and Third avenues s,
besides vacant corner plot at City
Island, will be sold.

Solve Housing
By Building
Up Suburbs
Money Can Be Made to Pro-
vide More Homes i'm Sub
urbs Than in City, Is Cliff
ford B. Harmon's Opinion

Clifford B. Harmon is strongly of
housing problem does not consist in ex-
tensive construction in New York
City, but lin developing the suburbs
Much greater accommodations can be
provided in the country than in the
city for less money, because material
which enters into city homes costs so
much more than in suburban build
ings.
He suggests that all suburban de-
velopments extend their building
plans. He has |'''onded his operation
programme at H.. Non-on-H H Hudson.
Mr.. Harmon realize months ago that
the original building plans of his COM
pany would have to be extended to
| keep pace with the unusual demand
To that end plans have been laid and
work is now under way on an ex-
tended building program which will
be completed within three to five
months. The company will then de-
eide on a still further increase in its
building department which will make
available several hundred homes for
occupancy at various periods during
1921.
"These houses will be artistic in de-
sign" Mr.. Harmon said, land will con-
tain every modern city convenience.
and have the added attraction of high
class suburban environment At Har-
on-on Hudson are to be enjoyed all
the advantages of a high class sum-
mer water resort.
"On the Croton River is club with
tennis courts, docks and all facilities
for the enjoyment of outdoor sports.
There are miles of beautiful drives
which wind their way among the hills
and about the waterfront, affording
fine motoring and driving. At the sta
tion are markets to supply every need
Of the residents.
"PeopIe must consider buying, for
that is the only means which will pre-
sent itself in the years to come for
solution of the housing problem"

1t Is to be a business mans home
colony 1t seems that the minded
ness of Farmer Belden has Influenced
the present owners of the property to
follow along the same lines. There are
many families which would have long
ago located in the suburbs if it was not
for what they regarded as overawing
restrictions placed on colonies in
which they would have liked to live.
Philip J. Rocker, architect, of this
city, who has had much experience in
planning fine home communities, has
been placed in charge of the architec-
ture of the Wilson's Point development.

to own the acres just acquired. They
were part of great tract which he
purchased from the red men, . He had
often befriended the Indians and the
sale of the land to Farmer Belden was
rather gift to show their apprecia-
ton of the white mans help than
sale, because the Indians, too, loved this
country and its little offshore islands
and rolling country. Mr. Belden was
an honest, Industrious farmer. He
titled the land and reaped a plenty.
He wes often forced to store his
wheat in the garret of his home, so full
were his barns. The Catholic Club in
West Street, Norwalk opposite St
Mary's Church, is understood to be the
same house occupied as a home. and
often as a granary by Mr.. Belden
Belden's Point, his waterfront, was
known when the British, under General
Tryon came down upon Norwalk and
destroyed it with fire Very few build
ings survived the fire The Belden
home was erected after the British
had gone.
Property passed from Belden into
the hands of family named Wilson,
New-York tribune., 1920-05-23

and 50 long did it remain with the
Wilson's that posterity came to know
the country as Wilson's country and
the point reaching out into the Sound
as Wilson's Point. Wilson's land was
proverbial for its richness, and many
were the offers made to him for it. He
did slice it off-that is. the far inland
property-but the shore front and the
adjacent acres he would not part with
for any money offered.
The Burchards acquired the tract
from the Wilson's, but it is not known
whether it was by purchase or as the
result of some other arrangement. 1t has
been Rurchard land ever since. Burch-
ards, too, have refused to be tempted
TO part with Wilson's Point. In ex-
planning the transfer to the developing
syndicate the real estate brokers' said
that "a more progressive attitude on
the part Of the estate made the neeo-
tiations possible" =

Mr.. Day in commenting on the sale
yesterday, said:
THE current countrywide campaign
of price smashing is not helping the
real estate market, particularly the lot
market, which did not have its chance
to rise in full, due to the war and the
high price of building material. This
will affect the Interborough sale ad-
versely. In any event, however, every
Interborough property advertised must
and will be sold for whatever it may
bring, even though the prices obtained
represent only a fraction of the actual
value of the properties involved
"And yet the Interborough has done
everything in its power to make this
sale as big a success as possible un-
der the existing conditions. To that
end. the company has made the terms

Acres ON VIII
sons Point Acquired by
New Workers; Has an
Interesting Past History

The we'll known Burchard property
on Wilson's Point, which juts out into
the sound between Darien and South
Norwalk. has been acquired finally for
development with homes. A syndicate
of wealthy men, presumably New York
ers, is the owner. The purchase
was made through Harris. Vought &
Co, real estate brokers of this city,
who will also conduct the partition of
the $50 acres of undulating land.
The tract has a water frontage Of
more than one mile. perhaps the largest
shore front still undeveloped within an
hours travel of New York. That the
property was not developed before this
is no fault of real estate men, because
the natural beauty and lay of the land
and its close association with many of
the fine country and golf clubs of the
section, in addition to being waterfront
land, have long been recognized as a
nifty. This opinion has not beens sthat
bilists have be0 heard to express de-
light over the natural attractiveness of
the entire tract and surrounding coun-
try. This property had only three OWL
ers since the Indians parted with it
centuries and centuries ago. What is /
more each owner has developed a great
love for these acres and no amount Of /
money could induce him to part with /
this land. Uncomfortable circumstances
brought about the transfer of the land I
from one interest to another. Usually /
it was death.
