Just across the Croton River from Mr..

years old, now used as a dwelling, but
originally occupied by the ferry keeper.

TO INCREASE PRICE J
OF GARDEN SUITES
Apartmentsat Jackson Heights
Will Cost More After
December Is.
THE PRICE OF Garden apartments
at jackson Heights, Borough OF

THE PRICE OF Garden apartments
at jackson Heights, Borough OF
Queens, is to be advanced after
December 15. according to announce
ment made yesterday by the Queens
borough Corporation. The recent steady
increase on the cost OF building ma
terials, labor and all matters pertaining
to construction is given as the reason
for this move.
The prices of these apartments, as in
the past, will in the future be controlled
by the cost of construction. the Queens
borough Corporation announces. The
company declares that its only control
over the cost of production in the past
has been its refusal to pay premiums Tor
ANYTHING that has entered into tue con-
struction work.
Had II not adhered strictly to this con-
struction policy. tha company says, IL
would have been impossible to sell gar
dem apartments at the prices that have
prevailed during the last three years
This policy has enabled the corporation
TO sell apartments valued at more than
81 900. 600 to about 1000 tenant owners.
The success of the Jackson Heights
Aenant owned apartment houses during
the first two years of the garden apart
ment construction attracted such Wen
known building concerns as the }. ".
White Engineering Corporation, Dwight
p Robinson & Co. and the jackson
Heights Apartment Corporation to start
work erecting elevator garden apartment
buildings. The success of their ventures
attracted other builders to the field, ana
el.f sRtRel sa1eTD fg
that of Stone & Webster, who recently
began the construction of fourteen new
buildings OF the attractive semi-sub-
urban type, containing 112 suites These
buildings will be ready for occupancy
about February l. 1928.
The chateau type of garden apart
ments were introduced at Jackson
Heights by the ]. G. White Engineering
Corporation the builders of the Ritz and
the Waldorf in London.
In the planning of the many garden
apartment homes erected at Jackson
Heights the owners and architects have
succeeded in so arranging the doors and
windows of the various apartments as
to haveNobtained full 100 per cent. light,
air and cross ventilation. while at the
same time, segregating and preserving
the privacy of the living rooms, cham
bers and servants quarters.
This happy solution of a problem that
at all times mas proved difficult to own
ers and architects alike has been ar
rived at. in the case of the Jackson
Heights apartments, because of the con-
struction of the buildings around an un-
usually spacious interior garden court;
the carrying of all apartments through
from the front, or street side, TO the
garden side. or rear. of the building;
and the division of each block, for pur-
poses of buildings, into units having
much larger frontages than those of
the average New York city apartment
house; and last but not least, the use
of considerably less percentage of the
plot than is prescribed by the build
ing code.

ment- It is in such suburbs as these
that sinclair Lewis places his "Mr.

They are distinctly modern American
Developments. But drive across the
county to the Hudson River and you
have an entirely different atmosphere.
These Hudson River towns have re-
tanned. In marvellous way. the quaint
dignity OF their Colonial days. In some
spots you feel that you might be in
England or sometimes the early Dutch
influence can be seen In these pic
turesque towns yet above all these i'm
pressions is the feeling that you are
treading on the same ground as our
real Revolutionary heroes
All this section Is blessed with q nat
ural beauty that Is uneQualed In its
charm anywhere In the county. The
combination of the majestic, broad
Hudson and the abrupt. rugged hills rie-
ing from its shore offers magnificen,
ong distance views in almost every town.
The rapid development of this territory
has been held In check by the presence
of lasge estates. These places with
their vast acreage have almost monop-
olzed the section. But there arc some
very important changes taking place In
this respect just now and I want to
point out these things In connection
with some of the towns.
The Growth of Yonkers.
Yonkers Is SO close to New York that
Il has In many ways outgrown its
northern neighbors. The growth to-day
Is eastward and southwark. North Yon-
kers consists mainly OF large estates.

Yonkers has also enjoyed great activity
during the last few years. Many multi

ticuarly along Broadway there has
been q very great increase In basic prop
erty values. Yonkers will some day

STATE POLICE RAID
STILL IN COLDFIELD

State police last Friday night
about midnight raided a house
formerly owned by James Fedder-
son, who is now in Hornsilver, on
Grand avenue in the northern part
of Goldfield and destroyed a moon
shine plant, according to reports,
The raid was quiet, according to
these reports, and it became known
through a Goldfield man who saw
the auto used by the police standing
on Pearl street, the next south of
Grand avenue. Beside the auto was
what apparently was pressure tank
for use with gasoline burners. Nc
arrests were made, as it is said
there was no one in the house when
the raid was made. The moon
sinners, according to reports, form
erly operated in .Tonopah, and when
driven from there, came to Goldfield
to make the illicit whiskey, but
continued to sell it in Tonopah. A
raid by state police on Saturday
night also p rumored, but it is
thought the only raid was that OF
Friday night, the reports not getting
out until yesterday morning.

SYNOPSIS SENIOR
PLAY ON TUESDAY
Cast is Drilling Hard to Make the
Theatrical One of the Most En-
joyed Ever Presented to the
People of This City

Professor Pep" the clever COM
edy-drama, just now the special
task in hand by the students Of the
county high school senior class, is
a play of surprising interest and
rare of degree of perfection is
being attained by the cast at work
upon the lines. 1t is asserted that
the. theatrical to be given next Tues
day night will be by far the best
ever offered in this city by home
talent players and that in degree of
interest for local people it will be
ahead of all previous shows seen
here.
The synopsis shows Professor
Pep in Russia where his academic
mind becomes much engrossed with
the characteristics of nihilists and
their societies. Being a self-assert-
ed student of sociology in the most
profound sense he seeks first hand
contact with the object of his
quest and in this pursuit he is aid
ed by one of his former students
whom he "failed" in class work
years before. Pep is given a fake
initiation into a presumed nihilist
organization where it is decided to
assassinate Ketchakofsy and in the
ballotting for the one to perpetrate
the killing Pep draws the appoint
ment. He Immediately sets out to
leave Russia for his home in the
United States and thereafter his
life is made miserable by those who
had taken up the prank.
Throughout the entire plot runs
adventure, comedy and love and its
intrigues and the ending is happy
one for all concerned.

1t is expected that the patriotic
women of each community will
bake and donate cookies. A GEN.

in each town to interest the women
in this movement and to obtain
the names Of those who will bake

This city's cookie quota will be
fifteen gallons once each month
1t is expected that in all COM
munities there will be so many pat

called upon to bake but once dur

The central committee of Winnie

RAILROAD MAN FINDS
DATA ON ATTITUDES

C. l.. Huntley, of the T. & G.
offices, has been seeking informal
tion regarding attitudes at Gold
field and Tonopah. The geologi-
cal survey has a monument at the
top of Columbia mountain but the
inscription which the monument was
intended to carry has never been
inscribed. However, Mr.. Huntley
has received from the geological
survey the information that the top
of Columbia mountain is 6095 feet
above sea level. The street level
at the court house is 500 feet and
at the Goldfield hotel 56S9, says
the Goldfield News.
The street level in Tonopah at

TRUCKEE HIGHWAY WILL
BE GRADED THIS YEAR

The highway from Truckee to the
Nevada state line over the Dog Val
ley grade will be graded this year
by the California highway commits
sion, according to C. C. Cottrell,
director of the good roads bureau
of the California Automobile As
sociation.
The work on this road will be un-
dertaken within a few weeks and
will be completed this year. 1t will
not be graveled until next year, ac-
cording to present plans.
Work on the new highway be-
tween Donner Lake and the Summit
will also be started this year, but
will probably not be completed as
1t is an immense undertaking. A
large part of this road will be re-
located to avoid the northern side
of the mountain and to give the
road a southern exposure.
Contracts have been let for the
building of eighteen miles of road
between Auburn and Colfax and
this work will begin at once.

STATES COUNTIES SHOW
A DECREASED VALUATION

County budget estimates compiled
by Secretary Fletcher, of the Ne
vada tax commission, give an esti.
mated assessed valuation of $201,-
384,931 for the state. This is a
decrease of $2,037,60 from the
actual assessed valuation of $685.
422,532 for 1921, says the Reno
Gazette.
The 1922 estimate was reached
by adding the totals submitted by
the counties with the exception of
Storey county, in which the estimate
of $2,400,0O0, making an allowance
for mining and other developments,
was made by the secretary. Last
years Storey county valuation was
$2,O98,742.
Comparative figures for Ormsby
county show no changes. Increase
in valuation are noted in the budg-
cts from Clark, Douglas, Lyon, Nye,
Storey and White Pine counties.
The figures by counties:
