A form of lease drafted by the at
torney general and providing, among
other things, that Cd the tenant must
take up his residence on his lot with
in one year from the date on which
his application is granted (2) that
there may be no subletting of his
interest in his lot to another and (9)
that he may cucumber his holding
with no mortgage or other lien I'M
less the same shall first have been
approved by the commission, was
read and held for further considera-
ton.
Secretary Cooke felt that leases
should reserve rights of way for If
rigation bitches or pipe lines, and
roads, as a protection against the
possible needs of the tract, or other
adjoining tracts, so years or more
hence. Before offering a lease to
settlers, he also believed the com
mission should pass and publish reg
ulations as TO fencing, p~asturage and
other community matters. These will
be drawn up by him, with the as
s~istance of superintendent Lyman,
and submitted to the commission as
500 as practicable.
None Yet Settled
The secretary was instructed to
send circular letters to applicants
who have been definitely rejected, in
formed them of their fate, and to
others not yet accepted asking if
they wished their lanes kept on
file in the event that lots now as
signed should not be taken up by
accepted applicants, or for the open.
ing of another settlement tract.
None of the accepted applicants is
yet settled on his land, though three
are working for the commission on
the development of the tract.
Governor Harrington expressed his
belief that the preliminary period
had been passed and showed anxiety
to get to work at putting settlers or
the land as rapidly as possible. Per
%sonally, he was even willing to waiv,
the formality of requiring signed
leases now, although he recognized
the possible misunderstanding ant
complications-about one chance il
10000, he thought-which such al
omission might entail.
Then there are roads to build,
central harbor for all Molokai t
develop, more cordial relations to es
; tablished with the Maui supervisors
the cooperation of the Maui count,
engineer to invoke, %culverts to bull
and storm drainage to control, ten
porary houses to build while pei
manent quarters for the settlers ar
being erected, and not least, an ade
quate supply of labor to obtain.
Eager to Make Showing
All these things the governor cor
coded, but he was visibly eager I
reach a point where the commissio
could point to tangible accomplish
j ment in the shape of a settled, sci
supporting tract.
The commission authorized tn
5 secretary to buy one second han
Holt tractor for $1,000 without az
vertising, and to call for bids on
new Cleveland tractor. Before tai
ing action, the members listened to a
opinion from the attorney genera
that the statue requiring an adve
tised call for tenders on all pu
chases exceeding $1,000 did not al
ply to the purchase of second-han
material, which, in the very natuI
of the case, could not be describe
in any set of specifications. If III
commission were compelled to a,
vertise for a new Holt, it woul
have to pay approximately S4SC
more.

ton for considerable time. That ap-
plies particularly to improved prop
erty. Unimproved property Is. OF course.
always subject to local conditions and
improvements which may cause rapid
increases in value.
A curious phase of the present mar
ket is the source of the buyers Where
do they come from? Are they new
element just arriving at the conclusion
to buy. or are they people who have
been looking for some time? The ma
jority of buyers to-day are shoppers
of last year. They are people who have
had the idea in mind for long time
but have felt that conditions were not
favorable to buying. They have come
to the conclusion that prices were not
going to drop as much as they first
expected and they have purchased a.
normal prices. This Is very striking
fact and a very hopeful sign that we
are now on level ground.
Building prices have moved so little
In the last six months that to all ap-
pearances they too are stabilized. There
certainly have been no recent signs to
indicate that they will go any lower.
There has been a slight tendency up
ward, due. I believe. more to seasonal
activity than to fundamental causes.
The probability Is that those prices
will remain a little above normal dur
ing the summer and then break slightly
during the winter prior to next springs
activity. The high reservoir Of planned
building Is so deep that the possibility
of becoming overbuilt during the next
ten years is very slight indeed.
Unimproved property in the cities OF
Westchester Is sure to increase in value
because of the increasing difficulty OF
procuring central and convenient loca
tons The successful Westchester de-
velopments. like Greenacres. Pelham
Heights, Lawrence Park. Wykagyl. Ged-
ney Farm. &c. are being sold out rap
idly and the opportunity for new devel-
opments will be offered. Prices of lots in
these new developments naturally will
be much higher proportionately than in
those opened before the war. because Of
increased value Of location and high
cost of present improvements.
Exodus to Europe Hits Renting.
Seasonal renting has been much af-
fected this year by the great number Of
people going abroad. During the last
few years, with unfavorable conditions
in Europe, many New Yorkers flocked
to Westchester for the summer, causing
an increase in summer rental prices.
This year they are going abroad. or In
many cases business conditions have
curbed the demand in this particular
ately priced detached houses for rent IN
suburban Westchester. The confirmed
renters will be forced to the multi-farl-
lily houses. Of which there are too few.
The small houses are most in demand
to-day. Even the wealthy man does
not want the mansion because of the
many burdens of upkeep. &C. No house
wife wants more rooms than are absol
lutely necessary to comfortable living
The demand for such small. modern,
compact houses can absorb all that can
be built in Weschester for a long while
ard that demand will be constant as far
ahead as we can foresee.

NOVELplan for buying a twin
ana artrnenf dWelline has beef

A NOVEL plan for buying twin "
~ apartment dwelling has been
worked out in the borough OF
Queens. where most of the one and two
family housing projects of the last two
years have been undertaken by coura-
geous builders. The houses are in the
East River Park section Of Astoria. OPP
posite 10th street. on land owned by
DR.. John J. Kindred, representative in
the Congress. They were designed and
built by c. f. and D. E. McEvoy and
Leonard c. L. Smith and the selling idea
is known as the "Kindred-McEvoy
plan" 1t has been tried out in France
and has not been found wanting. Brief
ly the plan Is as follows
The owners obtain a tenant for the
lower floor on a monthly rental basis
for three years, which pays the carry
ing charges of the house, such as taxes
on the land (the houses are tax exempt,
insurance, water rent and interest on
first and second mortgages. This
amounts to about 500 a month. for
which the tenant gets six handsomely
finished modern rooms. heated by steam
and a two-car garage In the rear OF
the basement
The buyer starts 1 by putting down
only $500 In cash. and he pays $3.50
month for two years. After that he
pays but 500 month for period OF
about four years more. These payments
60 entirely toward amortizing or pay
ing off the second mortgage. At the
end of about six years there remains
only the first mortgage of $500. held
by the Long Island City Savings Bank.
In return for his payments, which are
reckoned as rent, the buyer occupies
the upper six rooms and bath and his
portion of the garage. which will ac-
commodate his two cars
The houses are on Howland street,
five minute walk from the Ditmara
avenue station OF the dual subway en-
tension and a twenty minute ride and
walk from the Grand Central Terminal

overlooks the Fest River. the upper part
of Manhattan and the lower section OF
The Bronx. The city has recently pur-
chased forty acres along the East River
just below Ditmars avenue and Is pre-.
pairing to develop it into as fine
water front park as can be made. That
playground is only thres or four min
utes' walk from the Kindred-McAvoy
houses. In addition to the Interborough

THERE is a great deal or confusion
in the minds of Westchester
i county property owners as to
whether or not Westchester real estate
Is having a boom or a slump. I do not
blame any one for being confused on
hat point considering the wide diver
sence of real estate publicity and real
Estate gossip. An owner may read one
Hay Of great boom in a certain sec
|ion. with hundreds OF thousands being
paid for property all around him. and
yet his own house may be for sale or
rent for the summer and no one is even
booking at II. He may even advertise the
property with no results. Then some
Pne will tell him that there Is no mar
;et and that all prices are going down.
I Is small wonder that he should be a
bit confused and puzzled to know just
What is the true condition.
Westchester real estate Is in neither

On the other hand, the properties are

he value just after the war. For in
lance, a house valued at $4,000 before
le war and went to $4,000 during the
eak of the market sells now at about
1000. This Is a normal price. 1t Is
good buy for the purchaser because

cannot be duplicated in to-day's

knts a good profit and is price at

de himself with equally good housing

roperty will be reported in some such

her owner will hold out for $4,000 for

hy it does not sell.

L firmly believe that prices actually

primal and that they arc not going to

duction In the average rental. Those
