HOYT LOTS IN BRONX,
WILL Be AUCTIONED
j. P. Day to Offer 775 Parcels
in Vesey Street Exchange
on April 6.

"The extension for one year Of the
time for building tax exempt houses
which was granted last Tuesday by the
Board of Aldermen means another year
Of intensive selling of building lots as
well as another period OF home building
by the people. Houses erected between
now and April /. 1923. will be exempt
from taxation until April /, 1892 says
Joseph p. Day, the auctioneer.
This action of the Aldermen, base6
on the legislative act OF a few weeks
ago, will add hundreds of houses during
the next twelve months to the hundreds
already erected in the environs OF Mar
haitian. Instead OF long stretches OF
vacant land such as now exist along
the lines of rapid transit, there will In
one year more be seen hundreds of
comfortable homes owned by the occu-
pants.

midway between Thirty-third street and
Thirty-fourth street. and a new track
also will have to be constructed from
a point just north of Thirty-foprth
street to Thirty fifth street, crossing the
plaza, and on the west side of Sixth
avenue for use by the southbound Sixth
avenue cars. Several crossovers will
have to be installed and one or two
switches.
Thirty-fourth street Is one of the main
crosstown thoroughfares. and without
doubt this is the most congested spot In
the city of New York If not in the
world At the time OF the construction
of the b. r. +. subway the Public Ser
vice Commission took cognizance of the
situation, as the congestion was fast
approaching saturation, and provided for
the reinforcement of the subway struc-
ture at certain points for the location
Of the elevated posts. so that when the
time arrived for the clearing up of this
situation the expense would be greatly
reduced, and also prepared drawings
which have been useful in the prepara-
tion Of the present plans
These conditions have long been a
source of great annoyance to the prop
erty owners, and particularly to the
merchants in this district Therefore in
1919 the InlTty-IOuTlH GtTccl DOdIu OL
Trade engaged ex-Public Service Com
missioner Milo r. Maltbie to make a
study. of the situation and work out
some plan for its solution. Mr.. Maltbie
accordingly devoted much time to its
study, and numerous traffic counts were
made. He finally proposed three diff
ferent plans, each OF which in general
provided for the operation of the Sixth
avenue cars on Broadway north of
Thirty-fourth street and the Broadway
cars on Sixth avenue north of Thirty
fourth street, eliminating the triangular
crossing and relocating some of the ele-
waited posts. but did not provide for
increasing the width Of the roadway,
relieving vehicular congestion, which
has been steadily growing worse.
These plans were presented to the then
Borough President the Public Service
Commission and the Street Railway
Company. The Public Service Commits
sion then made various traffic studies.
Since then numerous conferences have
been held with the railway companies,
the Public Service Commission and the
Borough President, but the matter was
never brought to conclusion because Of
the financial situation of the street rail-
way companies. the possible loss OF
triffic and the infringement of franchise
rights.
When Julius Miller became President
OF the Borough of Manhattan he in
herited this problem. Realizing the
necessity for the relief of yehicular and
street car congestion, he instructed Amos
Schaeffer. consulting engineer Of the
Borough of Manhattan, to gather data
on the subject and to work out plan
that would secure the desired relief,
acceptable to. the street railway COM
panies and to the merchants and prop
erty owners represented by the Thirty
fourth Street Board of Trade.
In the meantime the Thirty-fourth
Street Board of Trade had conferred

The continued high prices OF anthra-
cite coal. together with the uncertain
and varying quality available in the
past few years. have converted many of
the most progressive building managers
in the use of newer and more economi-
cal types of fuel. such as coke and OIL
Both OF these new fuels have decided
advantages over anthracite, but the use
OF oil has been restricted by the high
initial investment required TO install oil
burning equipment. The market for
high grade coke. however. has devel-
oped rapidly. as no changes in existing
equipment are necessary. Some general
Information regarding this new fuel Is
therefore of considerable interest.
Coke is a product of bituminous coal
and bears the same relation to coal that
charcoal does to wood Therefore there
can evidently be as many kinds OF coke
as there are methods of coke manufac-
ture and varieties and mixtures of btu
minous coal. For this reason 1t is Inn
portant to differentiate between good
coal and bad coal In general there are
three methods of coke manufacture, gas
house. beehive and by-product.
1t is not necessary to consider gas
house coke too deeply, as it Is manu-
factured with only the yield of gas in
view and Is in general of poor quality.
1t is largely used for manufacture OF
water gas and there Is therefore little
available for domestic heating.
The beehive type OF oven was the
first used to manufacture metallurgical
coke In this oven coal Is charged at
the top and allowed to smolder for from
forty-eight to seventy-two hours. The
gases which escape to the air represent
such an enormous waste OF natural re-
sources that this type Of oven Is rapidly
becoming obsolete Furthermore bee
hive coke is not as uniform in quality
as by-product coke.

property in the jerome district to the
Shea Copper company in the same

action will be taken by Grand Island
stockholders at a meeting to be held

The Grand Island company is said

position where it cannot further fin
lance exploration work The Shea
company has agreed to enter into a
contract whereby it will give 100000
shares of its capital stock for all prop

Copper Queen Underground
Forces To Be Shifted With
Slight Production Increase

Starting June /, production of the
Copper Queen Branch, Phelps Dodge
Corporation, in the Warren District
will be gradually increased until
about 100000 pounds copper is being
mined each month, according to an
announcement yesterday by Superin-
tendent d. d. Irwin. This amount
will be from underground production.
Ore handled from leases may bring
the total slightly higher.
The gradual increase in production
will not mean any decided increase
in mine forces. Instead, operations
with the present force will be shifted.
A part of the force now mining lead
ore will be swung around to the high
grade copper ore at the Southwest
shaft.
