The passing Of the Hunts Point land
Of the New York Freehold Estates
Corporation, an English group Of mon
eyed people, who bought large tract
in the Bronx in the hope that IL would
be taken as tho site for the Worlds
Fair, which was finally staged in Chi
cago in 1898, will bring 70 a close Sc
ries Of instances Of local historic value.
This land Of the English syndicate, to-
gether with the East Bay Land and lm-
provement Company's holdings, which
are 20 be sold at auction on July p by
Joseph =. Day, are the last large indi-
vidual holdings in this section Of the
borough. The great estates which once
claimed all this territory have passed
into the hands Of thousands Of indi-
viduals under the extensive selling
campaigns carried on by auctioneers in
that district since 1905.
Hunts Point was in 1906 n pretty
countryside, a suburb Of New York,
dotted with quaint and semi-modern
homes that told the history Of this
land.
Marks End of Old Era
Sentiment attaches to this sale be-
cause of the fact that IL will mark the
end of period Of extensive ownership
in Hunts Point and will leave 1t like

The north shore Of Long Island has
been popular among people who are
seeking homes Of the better class. It's
rolling hills have made IL far more
attractive than the fiat stretches OF
country which make up the balance Of
Long Island.
The town Of Little Neck has become
an established and refined suburban
colony, built up by a gradual but
steady increase in its population,
which Is composed chiefly OF the
younger generation who have sought
freedom from crowded Manhattan.
Real estate here has always changed
hands through private sale, for this
reason the announcement that Bryan
l.. Kennedy, Inc, will hold an auction
OF 60l plots and lots in Little Neck
Hills is Of added interest 10 home
seekers who know this neighborhood.
Little Neck Hills Is an integral part
Of Little Neck itself. II is n unique
and artistic development, where wind
ing roads have taken the place OF the
usual straight city streets. The prop

Diary and Manual
Committee in Charge An
nounces 1925 Issue Will
BE Book of knowledge;
10000 To Be Printed

In 1897, one year after a small group
Of men actively engaged in the real
estate business had organized for the
good OF that business, there appeared a
limited edition OF "The Real Estate
Diary and Manual" A few copies
were printed. The publication consist
ed OF thirty-two pages, with a modest
amount OF information about the real
estate business, real estate commits
sions and public Offices in the city.
Since 1897 this book has been con-
tinuously published by the Real Estate
Board Of New York. The issue Of 1922
contained 2l2 pages, exclusive Of the
diary pages, and comprised $4,000. The
contents covered n wide range OF sub
jeets OF interest, not only 10 men in
the real estate business. but 10 rea.
estate owners, lawyers, architects, eX-
ecutors Of estates and others. II con-
tanned also a large amount Of informa-
tion about New York City and It's gov
ernment.
II is proposed by the Real Estate
Board Of New York, through it's diary
committee, TO expand the publication
still further. The committee has prac-
tically completed the work Of laying
out the table Of contents for the 1923
edition and has decided on a minimum
output Of 10000 copies. New subjects,
felt to be desirable in the light Of new
conditions and experience, are being
added, and matter which is felt 10 be
indispensable is being carefully revised
and brought up 10 date.
Leon S. Altmayer, chairman Of the
diary committee, says. in relation 20
the twenty-seventh annual edition:
"The diary and manual OF the real
estate board Of New York long since
passed beyond the experimental stage.
In view Of this the committee believes
that IL rightly interprets the sentiment
OF the board 20 be that the diary and
manual should, regardless Of cost. be
made as complete as possible, and that
il should not only deal with facts re-
lating TO real estate, but should con-
tain as we'll a substantial amount Of
useful information relating 10 the city
and Of value TO the general public. II
Is the object OF the committee in pre-
pairing the twenty-seventh annual edi-
tion Of "The Diary and Manual" 70
make il as complete as such a standard
publication ought 10 be-"
The book will be ready about the
middle Of November. or we'll in time
for distribution throughout December.

mittee consists Of Hermann de Seld-
