The first great exhibition held here

Of Bryant Park. The Crystal Palace
was the talk of the world. Forty-sec-
ond Street was the selection for the ex-
hlbltion site, because it was the ter
minal of the Grand Central road.
After the first rush the street settled
down to steady development. Changes
came gradul. The building of the sub
way brought financial loss to property
owners and set the street back tempo
rarily because of the open cut and OBJ
struction and litter that filled the road
way for several years. But the under

swing forward for this interesting
crosstown street.
While Forty-second Street was
sleeping. SO to speak, the men
who had directed the affairs of the
New York Central were for q long time
aware that the old big barn like build
ing which their predecessors had erect
ed was inadequate to the immediate
needs of the system and would be
much so when they put into operation
their plans for increasing the traffic
on the road. A new station had to
be, and there these men sat and
dreamed and dreamed not ideal dreams
but visions of the structure which
they thought should be built to fit the
business which would come as re-
suit of their plans. These men saw
what would be the result of this gi-
gantic improvement. It meant the
shaking OF the street from end to
end, the revitalizlng of every fiber of
interest and the development of
brand new Forty-second Street. What
they dreamed has come to pass, Forty
second Street is to-day modern and
tomorrow will be little more so, and
the movement is steadily against the
old time buildings. Values have gone
up so tremendously that 1T is fool
hardy to permit these buildings to re-
main much longer. With f1attering
offers being made those between
Broadway and the Grand Central sta
tion cannot remain much longer.
Center of High Values
The city has for several years placed
highest values on properties in Forty
second Street. There is hardly much
difference in the assessed value of the
properties at Forty second Street and
Fifth Avenue and those at Wall and
Broad streets, where is located the
most valuable realty in the world.
The coming of great business cor
porations has attracted banking inter
ests to the street, and many leading
trust companies, banks and Stock Ex-

Really Board Removes
Limit ON Membership
ANY Citizen Professionally En-.
gagged in Realty Is Eligible;
Has 400 Members

The Real Estate Board of New York
has voted to remove the limit placed on
the number of active members. Last
fall the constitution was amended to
allow $50 active members. This was
the third amendment of this nature
made in the constitution since 1913.
when the board had 1875 actives. Since
last fall there has been waiting list
sufficient to swell the active roster of
the organization to 400.
At the members monthly meeting
last week the subject of admitting new
was brought up. The general
opinion was that this should be done
without delay, that the organization
was for real estate men and no limit
A vote was taken and the result was
the amending of the boards constitu-
tion to read:
"Any citizen of the United States
professionally engaged in the business
of real estate as a broker. mortgage
loan broker, agent, manager or ap-
praiser. whose main Office is in any bor-
ough of the City of New York, either
IN his own name or as member of a
firm or officer of a company or cor

membership. Applicants shall be re.
ferred for action to the board of gov
ernors in the order of their approva
by the admissions committee and, il
elected, shall be elected in that orde,
except the board of governors shall
determine otherwise
This means that any one who is pro.
fessonally real estater is entitled tt

ago next month leading property inter

membership has rapidly increased. The
Forty-second Street Association to-day
IS one OF the most powerful and inHu-

city. A. E. Thorne, of the law firm of
Masten & Nichols and president of
the Oceanic Investing Company, owner
OF the Astor Trust Building and many

The story of Forty second Street is
the story of the city. When others
were large it was small, but it has out
stripped them all in a space of time
amounting to little in the life of A city.

Central Park West
Owners Opposed to
| Commissions Plans
Want Cars Removed From
Thoroughfare and Held
on Columbus Ave-; Sub
way Scheme for McAneny

A mass meeting of property owners
and residents west Of Central Park will
be held at the Hotel Majestic on Fri
day evening, May 26, at o'clock, at
which George McAneny, chairman of
the Transit Commission, will explain
the plans for the extension of subways
and contemplated changes of routes of
surface lines between Fifty-ninth and
1l0th streets west of Central Park.
The meeting has been called by the
Central Park West and Columbus Ave
nue. Association, of which Copeland
Townsend, of the Hotel Majestic, is
president. This association was formed
recently for the purpose of obtaining
the removal of the surface car tracks
on Central Park West, from Fifty
ninth to 10th streets, and the reten-
ton of the surface car tracks on Col
umbus Avenue.
What Commission Plans
The views of the association are dia-
metrcally opposite to those of Daniel
l.. Turner, engineer Of the Transit
Commission, who, in his report, rec
commended the removal of the tracks
from Columbus Avenue and the reten-
tion of the tracks on Central Park
West
The present assessed valuation OF
buildings on Central Park West, be-
tween 59th and 10th streets, exceeds
s65,0o0,0 900, and the property owners
are desiri6us of making a beautiful
boulevard of this thorougfare. They
feel that the cars operated on Centra
Park West can easily be diverted te
Columbus Avenue and the residents OF
this district are unit in supporting
this plan.
New Subway Suggestion
The association will present, sug.
gested route for a subway, starting al
Chambers Street, extending through
Hudson Street under Eighth Avenue
and Central Park Westt to l45th Street
thence through St. Nicholas Avenue te
Amsterdam Avenue and continuing te
190th Street, and also another sugges
tion for the continuation of the pres
ent proposed subway from Eighth Ave
nue. and the Harlem River along ths
bank of the Harlem River to Dyckma
Street. These plans have been prepared
under the direction of Jasper A. Camp
bell director of the Central ParI

ton.

For the purpose of determin-

under the provisions of the rent
laws the assessed valuation for
the wear in which the first install
ment of rent is brought accrued
shall be presumed to be the value

preclude other evidence of value
Of the property, but only creates
a presumption which, no doubt,
like other legal presumptions,
