MES along the coast are watching eager
ly for the time when 1t is to be sold in
the large reception hall Of the mansion

4 p. NJ. which is unusual In auction
sales, but is attributed In this particu-
lar sale to the fact that the Monmouth

Consequently the large auctions will not

Right after the sale of the Selgman

THE ULTIMATE. destruction Of the
vaiue of the zoning resolution be-
cause of the frequency with
which amendments are being made by
the present city authorities Is attracting
serious attention. according to the Real
Estate Board of New York In state
ment issued last week, the board de-
precates, this departure from the under
lying principles Of the zoning resoiu-
tion' and raises the question not only
Of the effect upon the deveiopment Of
the city. but also of the effect which 1t
will have on real estate values, which.
the statement says, was the purpose OF
the coming resolution to stabilize. The
attitude Of the board is summed up In
the following:
Resolution passed by the Board. Of Esti-
mate and Apportionment in 1915. gave
as certain result Of its adoption the
stabIlization of property values because
Of the permanency in the character OF
occupation. Any one desiring resi-
dence could buy in the residential zone
and be assured that the value of his
purchase would not be disturbed by the
establishment of an Objectionable busi-
ness on the next lot or In the same
block, and any one contemplating the
erection of a factory or the establish
ment Of q garage, could buy In an un-
restricted zone and be certain that when
he was ready to build no one could
prevent him.
1T was agreed upon, and made part
of the resolution. that there should be
no change in zone areas unless peti-
toned for by the owners Of more than
so per cent. <of the frontage on the
streets affected by the proposed change
or by a proceeding initiated by the
Board Of Estimate for the general good
Of the entire community. Even in such
a case It was provided that II the owners
of 20 per cent. Of the frontage objected
there must fbe unanimous vote of the
Board of Estimate. For a time this
was the policy of the city authorities
and, although from time to time pal
pable mistakes in the original zoning

REALTORS CRITICIZE
ZONE AMENDMENTS
New York Board Fears Ultimate
Destruction Of the Law Because
Of Frequent Changes

areas were corrected. very few radical
changes wero made.
Recently the entire policy Of the
city has changed-By a resolution OF the
Board Of Estimate. the Board Of An
peais was authorized to make changes
within city block. where such changes
were justified and the calendar of that
board of July II, 1922. showed sixty ap-
plications for changes In the used dis
trict areas.
The calendar Of the Board of Esti-
mate for July 10, 1922. contained thirty
applications for changes in the coming
areas. Some OF these applications were
OF the most radical character and while
tho Board Of Estimate did not finally
pass on the most radical ones they were
favored In each instance by the borough
presidents and By the Board Of Local
improvements In. the district affected
One application made by parties entirely
outside Of the zone to be changed would
put a mile Of extremely valuable water
front in a residential zone. Another
favored by Borough President and the
Board Of Local improvements would
change from an unrestricted to residen-
tial zone, a long strip Of land along the
main line of a railroad valuable only for
commercial purpose.
I'm this particular instance the man
who bought In good faith has paid the
railroad company for a spur and the
tracks have been laid.
Two applications in the calendar OF
July 10. 1922. proposed to change un-
restricted districts In lower Manhattan
to residential zones. In year or two
the same people may well ask that the
gone be again changed. because tbs
lower tEast Side Of Manhattan is no
longer desirable for residential pur-
poses.
THE position Of the Real Estate
Board has always been that no zonins
change should be made unless desired
by clear majority Of the property own
ers affected. and then only for the pub
lie good. Any other policy will lead to
confusion and uncertainty and loss OF
property values.

issued when there are ninety proposed
changes in one week before city boards"

Had He Read His Title Clear
Would Have Lost No Profit
by THE ODD PARAGRAPHER.

- EVERAL months ago a wage Garner
who had dreamed of home owner
ship for many years decided that
the time when his savings made II pos
sible for him to invest in the purchase
of n residence had arrived. He had
$4,000. After careful investigation of
the properties available he selected one
that seemed reasonable In price and
would serve the needs of his family.
The seller required only $1,000 in cash.
which left $500 for the buyer to use as
an emergency fund.
The question OF title search came up.
The buyer knew the former owner and
knew also that the title had been
searched when the latter bought the
property. Against the advice OF the,
former owner. he decided to save the
amount for title insurance. Later the
new owner received such an attractive
offer for his property that he decided &c
sell and buy elsewhere. That time the
buyer had the title searched and. much
to the surprise and the disappointment
OF the man who had failed TO take this
precaution. a title defect. which pre-
vented the resale and is giving the owner
considerable worry as, to his own secur-
ity. developed.
Perhaps no amount OF cautioning will
prevent that form OF false economy.
Why will investors place their life's saw
ings In a home or'in other forms of real
estate investment and risk an imperfect
title when a small additional payment
will give absolute security? Careless
ness or dishonesty In the payment or COL
lection Of taxes. In drawing deeds Of any
kind and many other factors enter Into
the clouding of titles TO real estate.
Investors have been cautioned against
this penny wise, pound foolish form OF
economy for centuries. and yet there
seems to be greater need for the warn
ing to-day than ever before. What these
investors need most. II seems. Is legis-
lat.ve protection against themselves.
ncubcn and the New York Broker.
A city real estate broker made an ap-
poIntment TO meet farmer who had
property to sell. They met on a busy
downtown thoroughfarc and stood talk
ing for a few moments. when TO the
amazement Of the city broker the farmer
suddenly bent over and began drawing
n map of his property on the sidewalk
entirely oblivious OF the fact that his
c.atter and peculiar conduct had at
tractcd Q typical New York crowd. The
broker. amused and somewhat embar-
rassed by the attention his client was
attracting, waited patiently until he had
completed HIS sidewalk sketch and then
led him off to n less conspicuous place
for business talk.
