Palatial House on St. Mark S Avenue
in Quick Double Fire Deal---Is Given
in Part Payment for Building on
Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, and
Then Resold to Caterers

Generally speaking. the day Of the
palatial private mansion in the rapidly
growing sections OF New York city is
passing This Is true even of Fifth ave-
nue. in spite OF the fact that the city
has just decided to limit the height OF
the apartment houses that are taking
their place along "Millionaires' Row"
The enormously increased cost of up
keep of these mansions. which some
times cover an entire city block. to-
gether with the temptation to sell to
apartment house builders who offer
fabulous prices for the ground site, is
rapidly tending to eliminate this type
of abode, which was so much in vogue
fifteen or twenty years ago.
A striking illustration OF this change
was the sale last week OF the big Sea-
mans mansion at 7S9 st. Marks ave-
nue.. Brooklyn, which was built by the
late Clarence w. Seamans. former
president OF tho Remington Typewriter

800 and 311 Fifth avenue, which occu-
pies the site of the old Livingston resi-
dence. The operators value this build

nual rental income Is 100000 year.
Later in the week the Seamans resi-
dence was resold by the operators to

into an establishment similar to Delmon-
ico's, on Fifth avenue. 1t will be used
fer elaborate weddings, receptions. &C
The big dining room and ballroom will
be turned into banquet halls and the re-
mainder Of the house will be altered into
two and three room apartment suites.
When he and his partner took the
property over Mr.. Riesenfeld predicted
that an apartment house would some
day be built on the St. Marks avenue
frontage and around the sides Of the
fine old house The operators point out
that there are no restrictions on that
side OF st. Marks avenue against apart
ment houses The passing OF the Sea-
mans mansion IS only one of many such
transactions in the last year or so af-
fecting some of the one-time finest resi-

laws at present operative, with the text
OF these laws printed for reference In the
appendix. These laws were originally
passed on April 1. 1920. were amended
in the fall of 1920. and were again
amended in the sprirg OF 1921. The re-
suit has been to create a widespread
and very natural confusion in, regard to
their present text and effect
The main portion of the work deals
with the possessory rights of landlords
and tenants, respectively. in real estate
used for dwelling purposes. 1t shows
just what the housing laws have done in
the way OF allowing tenants to remain in
possession of dwelling property which
they occupy and under what circum-
stances landlords may recover posses
sion Of such property. 1t gives an ex-
planation Of the so-called reasonable
rent" provisions of the housing laws
The remedial aspects of the housing
laws are also treated; the question OF
repairs and who is obligated to make
them; the obligation to supply heat,
light, elevator, telephone and other SER
vice. and many miscellaneous topics.

IREALTORS SUGGEST
NEEDED REFORMS
Would Advertise States Agri-
cultural Advantages in
Western Papers.

The executive committee of the New
York State Association of Real Estate
Boards in session yesterday at the Hotel
Commodore, adopted a resolution indors-
, ing the protest of the Farm Brokers As
sociation against the continuation of the
publication by the State Department OF
Farms and Markets of a catalogue OF
farms for sale. The resolution charges
that the catalogue misrepresents the ag-
ricultural possibilities Of the State. and
that the $4,000 now spent on its pubiica-
tion might better be devoted to securing
proper newspaper publicity in the middle
West regarding the true agricultural
conditions of the Empire State.
The committee also voted to supply
each member of affiliated boards Of the
association with the law. covering the
drawing of legal papers and the charg-
Ing Of fees. Drastic action against vio-
lators Of the law was urged.
Other resolutions were adopted as fol-
lows:
1ndorsing the splendid efforts of the
building and loan associations to allevi-
ate the housing shortage BY liberal loans
on bond and mortgage and commencing
the Comptroller OF the State OF New
York for devoting $500. 900 of Land
Bank bonds TO the use of building and
loan associations and urging further in
vestnents by the State of this nature.
Approving OF the educational courses
in real estate In the various colleges
and schools within the State and nation.
Adoption of the code of ethics of the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards.
Instructions to the legislation commit
tee to introduce a bill requiring the filing
OF accurate. certified maps OF all sub
divisions offered for sale throughout the
State. together with proper evidence OF
title. This bill is designed to prevent
the use of fraudulent maps and get
