The Times Square section and the

have adhered to this business theory.
which no doubt was laid down by the
first John Jacob Astor. 1t is archaic
erty; at least that has been the opir
ion Of real estate men for a long time
back. 1t is possible that the heirs Of
the late Henry Astor have realized the
injustice of continuing this control and
consented to the breaking up of the es-
tate. Real estate men laud the decision
regardless Of the motive which
prompted it, for it will open up large
areas for development with types Of
buildings which usually are not carried
through on leased ground.
Will Show City's Growth
The sale Of tho property on March 8
by J. Clarence Davies and Joseph P.
Day will also provide a record which
will illustrate the growth Of the city
and the wonderful advance made in the
value Of land here. Bought for $24 by
Peter Minuit in 1925, century later
property values had reached such pro-
portions that the Eden farm, between
'orty-second and Forty y-sixth streets
and reaching in q northwesterly direc-
tion to the North River, was obtained
by John Jacob Astor at total cost of
about $4,000. The coming sale will
permit a comparison Of values Of 1920
and 1897 in the Times Square section
which will be very interesting. Hardly
one of the 141 parcels to be sold will
bring less than the price paid for the
entire farm.
1t is portion Of this Eden farm
that the heirs Of the late Henry Astor
will sell.

Unscrupulous Men Responsible for Avalanche of
Legislation Intended to Relieve Renting Situation

Moro real estate legislation has
been introduced in Albany so far this
session than in scoro Of previous
sessions. Representatives from every
section Of the state and particularly
those from the large communities have
brought with them q desire to relieve
the housing conditions in their re-
spective districts and in the state by
promoting healthy resumption of
construction and by curbing the up
ward trend Of rents. In view of the
frame of mind the people are in over
the housing situation it would be po-
lltlcal folly for representatives to
neither attempt nor show an inclina-
ton to bring relief. Some of the
measures. therefore, are not as sincere
IN purpose as others and arc introduced
for political reasons only.
The subject of regulating real
estate affairs. however, is live issue
at the stateCapitol and measures OF
great restrainst are likely to be an
acted. The avalanche of wrath, the
result of tho practices of un nscrupulous
men, Will not center on these men, but
Will engulf the entire realty field The
ban will fall on real estate generally,
although the aim of the legislation
will be at gambling with an unpre-
cedented social situation.
Several bills have been introduced
by. Senator Lockwood to curb many
evil practices In real estate, which his
committee disclosed during it's investi-
cation into the housing problem and it's
many phases recently. Men at Albany
agree that the surest and quickest
solution Of the problem is in the con-
struction Of homes. While waiting
for them they say that restraint must
be placed on a certain class of real
estate gamblers, otherwise the situa-
tion would be even more acute and the
temper Of the people might be serious
ly aroused. The Legislature is to
chec&mate the evil which has been
done by the unscrupulous dealer.
Some OF the measures pertaining to
the housing situation introduced since
the opening Of the present session are
in part as follows:
Lessee Must Be Licensed
Senator Dodge has introduced IN
amendment to Section of the Business
Law which requires that persons, cor
porations or firms carrying on the bus
mess Of leasing and subleasing real
! property in cities of over 200, 900 popu~
lation secure license from the Mayor.
New-York tribune., 1920-02-22
or any other building TO be used wholly

or any other building to be used wholly
or partly for dwelling purposes. the as
sessed valuation Of such shall not be
increased over the assessed valuation
for such property on the day the build
ing plans for such new structure are
approved by the proper authorities un-
I'll the assessed valuations for the year
1926 are fixed, provided the building
plans therefor have been approved on
or before October l., 1920, and the
building completed ready for occupancy
before December 81, 1921.
In New York City owners of such
property must file with the Depart
ment of Taxes, within one week after
approval of plans, a sworn statement
setting forth the facts and the claim
for exemption as provided in the act
Would Have Cities Build Homes
Senator Dunnigan would have the
general city law changed to permit
cities to acquire land for the purpose
OF erecting dwellings thereon and rent
Ing them to inhabitants. In the City of
New York the buildings superintendents
OF the various boroughs and five per
sons to be named by the Mayor, to
serve without pay, would constitute the
CUaTRC
OF the building of municipal homes
and the leasing of them. Money to be
used for this purpose would come from
taxation, and If this was not sufficient
the measure empowers the authorities
to issue bonds in anticipation of taxes.
Stop Rent Raising
Senator Kaplan wants the real prop
erty law amended by providing that an
agreement for the occupation of real
property in the City of New York
which shall not particularly specify the
duration of the occupation, shall be
deemed to continue until the first day
or October next after the possession
commences under the agreement. and
rent Hereunder is payable at the usual
quarter days for the payment of rent in
that city unless otherwise expressed in
the agreement.
The purpose Of this measure Is to re-
store the law that existed prior to April
20, 1918. which legalized oral leases
and protected the tenant in his posses
sion. asd also to prevent unscrupulous
landlords from taking advantage of
tenants owing to the present shortage
of housing accommodations by increas-
ing rents each month or with every
change of owner or agent
