LAND WHICH SOLD FOR
s24 AND BOOZE RENTS
FOR $1ss FRONT FOOT

New York, May 17-Manhattan
Island once sold by an Indian for
$24 and few drinks of fire water,
has besome so valuable that a tiny
plot stretching only 81 feet along
Broadway recently was leased for an
annual rental of about $188 square
foot. Real Estate men said this was
the highest figure for which land was
ever rented here.
The site is at Broadway and Thir-
,ty-fourth street, and extends about
so feet along the latter. Several
years ago a department store wished
to buy the corner plot, having pro-
cured the land on both sides as the
site of a skyscraper. But the owner
would not sell even for $1,000,000,
and the big store had to erect its
home around the small building.
A four-story structure, housing on
the ground floor busy cigar store,
still remains on the valuable corner
lot. on all sides lofty buildings rear
their bulks of steel and stone. The
new leese, who will pay $3,500,000
for rent, taxes and other expenses
over a twenty-one year period, plans
to erect a narrow skyscraper on the
triangular plot. A candy-making cor
poration will occupy the building.
Twenty years ago Robert S. Smith
who owns the property, startled real
ty men by paying $387,oOo for the
land, which has only 1880 square
feet of area. He had come to Amer
lea with $5.75 from his native Rus
sia in 1880. When he bought the
property, he was told such small
strip was not worth the price and
could never be profitable.
Within a few hours after the 49,
100000 lease was draw up, another
candy concern offered $4,000 more
year for the land, but it was too
late.
