neigh ghborhood because of the growing
number of violations of the restric-
tions, the Leffert's Manor Association
appointed committee to call on all
who are known to be violating the
covenant to ask such violators to re-
train from further violation. Several
agreed to live up to the restrictions,
but others decided to have test in
court. James P. Collins, attorney for
the Leffert's Manor Association, entered
suit against four different owners only
one OF which has been tried so far
with the result entirely in favor of
the association.
Commenting on Justice Faber's de-
cree Mr.. PDackburne said yesterday: ::
''The result of this action demonstrates
beyond any question that the owners
of property in the Lefferts restricted
area cannot use their premises or allow
them to be occupied other than as a
private dwelling for one family only.
Several complaints have been made
OF owners who are violating this coven-
ant, in addition to those against whom
suits are now pending, and to such the
foregoing injunction should be con-
vlncing and prove to them that they
can no longer violate the covenants
contained in their several deeds to the
detrlment of their neighbor's property
and rights. If, however, this does not

pital to Dispose of Bath
gate Tract at Auction

Columbia University and the Society
of the New York Hospital are to dis
rose of 525 lots in the north Bronx, be-
queathed to them, at auction on Thurs
day, in the Vesey Street salesroom. The
property is known as the Bathgate es-
tate and will be disposed of by Joseph
P. Day. The property is located on Bay
chester, Nereid, Bussing, Pitman and
adjacent avenues, and on three sides of
tre large proposed Roman Catholic
school to be erected by the Marist
brothers.
Mr.. Day. commenting on the sale,
said yesterday:
'This sale has been ordered by Co.
lumbia University and the Society of
the New York Hospital, and every lot
will be sold
The Bathgate estate occupies a con-
siderable part of that little section of
the Bronx that bites into Mount Yer
non and Yonkers. The Bronx and Van
Cortlandt parks are nearby, and the
section is connscted by trolley and sub
way with Pelham Bay Park, Yonkers,
Woodlawn, Mount Vernon, the more
southerly section of the Bronx, and
Manhattan.
"The several blocks will be the site
of the new school of the Marist sbroth-
ers, and will be converted into parklike
grounds that will be one of the beauty
spots of the Bronx. Houses erected on
the lots adjacent to these grounds will
have an outlook over what will be, to
all intents and purposes, a private
park"

Approves Extension
Of Subway TO Yonkers Line
Wonderful Things Expected for Realty in Upper
Broadway Result of Measure LegaIizing City
Rapid Transit Line Operating Over Westchester

The Broadway subway, which ter
inmates at 242d Street, the entrance to
Van Cortlandt Park, is to be extended
north to and beyond the city line as
q result of measure passed during
the last session of the Legislature for
the relief of folks who live in the north
end of the city. Though the bill was
framed especially to legalize the ex-
tension of the subway along Broadway,
it also clears the way for transit,
operating through the northern bor-
ough and connecting with Manhattan,
running into Westchester sections.
The extension of the subway north
from 242d Street has been agitated for
many years. Folks living i'll that
corner Of the city, which is one of the
most attractive to be found anywhere
in this part of the country, claim that
the section was not treated fairly by
the Transit Commission when the sub
way terminus was placed at 242d Street
and not at the city line.
Influence brought by people in Field
ston, Riverdale, Marble Hill and other
parts of that attractive neighborhood,
which is often referred to as "New
York's English country side" because
OF its beautiful setting, and the in
terest displayed by Westchester folks
brought success to the measure.
What Bill Provides
The most difficult step in such a
development has been overcome Moth
ing remains now but the carrying
>through of the wish of the people of
the state as indicated in the action
OF the Assembly and Senate, which ap-
proved the request of the people of
these sections for an extension of
transit
The bill is known as chapter 591 of
the laws of 1921 and reads;
Gan act creating a commission to
prepare preliminary plan and report
including estimates, for the combina-
ton, Improvement and extension of ex-
listing rapid transit railroads, street
service railroads, and stage and omni-
bus lines and any railroads, used for
local service, operating between point
or points within the City of New York
and a point or points within the
County of Westchester, and for other
wise improving, by new construction or
otherwise the transportation facilities
between the City of New York and the
County of Westchester and other trans
portation facilities in Westchester
County and authorizing appropriations
by the County of Westchester toward
the expense of such commission
Realty Alive to Situation
From real estate standpoint the leg
islation has unmeasurable islation-
tance, for it will hasten the development
of the district with homes. 1t will pro-
vide the means of bringing people into
the section without transferring at
242d Street, which has been the great
obstacle to the improvement Of most
of the land there with moderate priced
housings.
Real estate owners are not asleep to
the value of the measure, for plans are
being made by several to place their

Court Upholds Restriction
As to One-Fnn,iIy Homes
Justice Faber Grants Injunction Restricting Recon.
structing Houses Old Lafferts Farm i'm Flat.
bush to Occupancy by Not Over One Family

Residents of Flatbush who have built
or purchased homes on the site of the
old Lefferts farm have gained notable
victory in the courts in their. efforts to
maintain the old Lefferts restriction
which provides that houses erected on
the old farm property shall be for the
use of one family only.
Justice l.. B. Faber, in the Supreme
Court, handed down an injunction last
week prohibiting the use of the house
at liza LINCOLN Road, southeast corner
of Bedford Avenue, other than as a
private dwelling house for one family
only. The property in question is
owned by Margaret Fl. Lane.
The suit in which Justice Faber gave
decision is the first to be tried of a
number of suits brought by the LET
ferts Manor Association, Albert Black
burne, president,against number of
owners and tenants within the re-
stricted area who are using their
houses for residences for more than
one family.
The section covered by the restric-
tion includes about twenty city blocks
adjacent to Prospect Park and extend
in gfrom Lincoln Road to Fenimore
Street and from. Flatbpsh Avenue to
Nostrand Avenue The section contains
many ilIe IeSlUSHCtS anu pclHdPS WV
homes ranging in value from $4,000
to $4,000. The same restriction ap-
plies to all houses.
During the last few years, dozen
or more buyers either have overlooked
the restriction or disregarded it en-
tirely. In some instances the fine homes
have been converted into two and three
family houses. Other dwellings have
been used as rooming houses.
