Folks Seem to Have
Decided This Is a
Good Time to Buy
Prospective Suburbanites
Show Disposition to Pro-
coed, With Naught To
Be Gained by Waiting

A change has come in the suburban
real estate field in the last few weeks
Prospectives seem more favorably dis
posed to action, having made up their
minds apparently that nothing is to be
gained by dela..
l.. Ward Prince, president of Prince
& Ripley, in this connection says that
every Office of the organization is re-
porting renewed activity in Westches-
ter. A tendency on the part of buyers
to wait for drop in price has passed
People now seem to be convinced that
it is fallacy to wait any longer and
suffer the discomfort of temporary liv.
ing accommodation and the pressure
of high rentals, with accompanying
legal disputes. An active lot market is
developing in the different sections
particularly around White Plains
Dobbs Ferry and Pelham, where sales
are being reported daily by the leading
brokers.
Mr.. Prince reports the following
sales made by his organization within
the last week:
At Pelham, for Henry M. and Benia-
min Hubbel, plot and dwelling on the
corner Of Witherbee and Fowler Ave
nue., Pelham Heights, to William H
-sAN boA, u ASSW AOIh Wy. AC white
Plains, large plot in the Highlands
section for Gertrude E. Ford to P
Augustine, of New York Citv, and a
parcel for Louise G. Marvis to L
Huetable, of New York. Both are to
be improved with residence at. once
Another plot, portion of the T. Simp-
son property, in the White Plains
highlands section, was sold to F. Mar
tinez. who will erect house.
Gedney Farm has been markedly
active. Prince & Ripley report the
sale of the DR.. Lavigne estate, on the
corner of Ridgeway and Du Point Ave
nue.. valued at $4,000, to New York
business man, and the sale of an Eng
fish type residence Of unique design
on Littlejohn Place, owned by A. S
Fedde, to another New York buyer
This property was held at $32, 900
At Dobbs Ferry and adjoining towns
along the Hudson signs point toward a
building boom, and with it an active
demand for vacant properties. Among
sales made by these brokers in this
section are the following: Two quar-.
ter-acre plots in Ardsley Park. Al
Ardsley- on Hudson, owned by Harole
G. Even, to Henry l.. Isreal, of Dobh.
Ferry, and w. M. Miller, of Brooklyn

Phone Co. Wants to Go
Beyond Height Limit
City Club Opposes 1t on Ground
That 1t Would Be Unfair to
Other Property Owners

Appeals of the New York Telephone
Company to the Board of Appeals for
permission to construct buildings in
various parts of Manhattan, Queens
and Brooklyn above the height limits
fixed by law for the districts in which
the buildings are to be located are OBJ
posed by the City Club of New York
The committee on city planning of
the club has written letter to the
Board of Appeals opposing the granting
Of the exemption asked for. In it's let
ter the committee reminds the Board
OF appeals that years ago, when the
zoning resolution was pending. the
telephone company asked the zonino
commission to allow future telephone
buildings in all parts of the city to be
built to any height. The commission
investigated, but decided that there was
no sufficient reason to grant such re
quest.
In an effort however, to mitigate any
possible hardship. the telephone com
pany was given the privilege at that
time of filing plans for such buildings
as it had in contemplation. Under this
privilege, and prior to the final adop-
ton OF the coming resolution on July
70, 1916, plans were filed for buildings
and extensions in various parts of the
city.
Now, OF She end of five years. the
petitioners are asking that they be
given another exemption of FIVE years
within which to enlarge their build
'ngs IN WAYS which would violate re-
5tletions binding upon other property
owners.
The Board of Appeals has no
authority to grant these petitions,
The City Club objects to these petit
tons as being without merit and con-
trary to the public interest.

the last seven years. 1t was points
out by an expert on Long Is,.us
