The revival of buying Of land has
brought the Realty Associates Of
Brooklyn many profits, according to its
annual report. 1t says: "The tax ex-
emption law has created activity in lots
and this company has profted by this
market and sold freely. Building loans
amounting to $4,000 and rnottgace
loans amounting to $4,000 have been
made.
"The lot development at Brighton
Beach, conducted by a subsidiary COM
pany, was completed, and all the lots
have been sold. The lot sales for the
year aggregated $563,150 and the sales
Of houses $220,05O."
Home buyers also have helped the
company, taking fifty Of the company's
new houses. They were sold almost as
rapidly as completed. Twenty more are
to be sold. The prospects are that
they will be disposed of as quickly as

Congress Exempts Thrift
Associations From Tax
What Would Go to Govern.
ment Well Furnishes Funds
for Number of Homes

Congress has once more recognized
the great value of savings and loan as
sociations to the country by exempt
ing them from all forms of taxation. .
said Archibald w. McEwan, secretary
of the league Of these associations.
following the precedent of long ago,
which has continued without inter
ruption, under gross income defined
of the new tax law. The exemption ap-
plies to domestic building and loan
associations substantially ali the busi-
ness Of which is confined to making
loans to members. and cooperative
banks without capital stock organized
and operated for mutual purposes and
without profit. 'Co-operative bank is
the title Of savings and loan associa-
tions in Massachusetts.
"Ihe new tax law also provides that
SO much of the amount received by
an individual after December 81, 1921.
and after January /, 1927, as dividends
or interest from domestic building and
loan associations, operated exclusively
Tor the purpose of making loans to
members, as does not exceed $780,
shall be exempt from the income tax.
This last section Of the tax law is
expected to result in large increases
of savings funds in these associations.
and in connection with the issue Of
Land Bank bonds should give the as
sociations millions Of new money to
lend for home owning. 1t is we'll to
remember, however, that persons who
save their money in these associations,
being partners, obviously receive the
preference for mortgage money"

Home Builders Are
Invited Into Fine
Tract Near Rye
John W. Sterling's $50
Acres of Picturesque
Country Made Available
by George B. Cortelyou

When the Sterling estate properties.
near Rye, were placed on the market
six weeks ago there was considerable
surprise in the Westchester real estate
field. 1t was not supposed that this
acreage in the tenderloin Of Westches-
ter County would be offered to the
public for another few years, at least,
John w. Sterling, lawyer of this city,
had accumulated $50 acres by the pur-
chase of FIVE farms. At his death St
was found that Mr. Sterling had given
this acreage to the Miriam Osborn Me-
morlal Home Association. in addition
to 150 acres surrounding the Miriam
Osborn Memorial Home for Aged Cen
tlewomen at Rye, N. Y, which is now
under the management Of the Miriam
Osborn Memorial Home Association, of
which George B. Cortelyou, president
of the Consolidated Gas Company of
New York, is the president.
The Sterling Estate Properties be.
came prominent feature at the start,
bringing requests for information from
all parts Of the country. William j.
Curtis jr., representing the "younger
set" in the Rye social community, pur-
chased for his own occupancy one Of
the residences on the Sterling proper
ties, including eight surrounding acres,
Another purchaser was Harold Weaver.
Roderick Horton, of the United States
Mortgage and Trust Company, pur-
chased one of the Sterling homes on
Pleasant Ridge Avenue, the westerly
side Of the property
Kenneth Ives, the selling agent Of
the properties, said yesterday that
many building sites were now under
consideration.
One of the most picturesque build
lngs on the property is known as Head
quarters, crescent shaped, vine COW
cred stucco residence, from which there
is an extensive view of the greater part
OF the entire acreage. Mr.. Ives said
that the building and its acreage prob
ably will be sold during the coming
week.
Mr.. Sterling took personal pride and
pleasure in developing these acres into
what resembled park. He spent more
than $1,000,000 in laying out and build
ing the roads that wind in and out
throughout the acreage, and in the
building of the solid walls Of masonry
that inclose the property. There are
six miles of bride paths in the prop
erty.
The Rye Riding Academy is located
on the property, where Harrison Ave
nuc and North Street join. The West
chester Biltmore Country Club, with its
three golf courses, is directly across
North Street from the realty, and the
Green Meadow and Apawamis club-
houses and golf courses are about a

Work Of construction is we'll under

is known that both houses will contain
approximately 600 rooms in from two

is estimated that the construction will

Practically the entire Kew Gardens
section Of Queens is restricted against
further building Of apartments, and it
is likely that it will be some time be-
fore fats the size Of these will be
allowed to be built there again. Much
interest has already been shown re-

inquiries have been received by persons
who expect to lease suites The site is

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. l4.-Deny-
ing that their organization has acted
in restraint of trade, as charged by
the Federal trade commission in its
report to congress members of the
West Coast Lumbcrmen's association
here were inclined to redicule the COM
missions findings.
"The federal trade commission was
originally intended to assist in the de
velopment of industry" said A. W..
Cooper, secretary of the Western Pine
Manufacturers association, but it has
degenerated into an agency for the
promotion Of petty annoyance to le-
gitimate trade
r. II. Burnside, head of the Willspe
Lumber company, stated it is not true
that the National Lumber Manufac-
turers association is opposed to refor-
estation, alleged in the report of the
federal trade commission.
"Thc national association was OPP
posed to the campaign outlined by Gift
lord Pinchot," said Burnside. "but is
working in cooperation with the Unit
ed States forest service in reforesta-
tion work. The national officials have
in fact been leaders in the movement
for a national forest policy and funds
in the organization have been spent
literally in working out constructive
rrogfam of reforestation."
Burnside also denied that the West
Coast Lumbermen's association had
endeaVOred to regulate prices.
