The Dickey estate property, in the
Hunts Point section of the Bronx,
which will be sold at auction on Thurs
day, will provide an opportunity for
comparing values of to-day with those
81 yesterday. Land close to this es-
tate, now the site of apartment build
ings, was sold at auction by Joseph P.
Day thirteen years ago 1t was the
first auction sale conducted BY Mr..
Day of Hunts Point land. The section
was comparatively open land then. 1t
may interest many who attended the
auction sale OF 1908 to be on hand for
the sale which Mr.. Day will hold for
the Dickey estate on Thursday, because
the prices of Thursday and those of
1908 will furnish basis for figuring
the fortunes that slipped through their
fingers by not acting on that day.
There is nothing more romantic than
comparisons, especially of New York
real estate values. Progress is so
rapid here that often in a few years
time commonplace property will attach
big value.
The Dickey estate is on Hunts Point
Avenue, east of the corner of LAFAYETTE

Al the apartments As matter OF
fact, there are less apartments in the

there are large number of two-room

that rentals would drop. This will
mean that a number of these people
will be disappointed. The activity of

taken up the majority of the better
apartments. especially those renting in
the neighborhood Of from $4,000 to
$1,000 per annum. The humble of
