TORRENS CERTIFICATE
ISSUED IN BROOKLYN

Supreme Court Justice Faber, sitting
at Special Term, Kings county. has en-
tered final judgment registering the
title OF the John Bamberger premises
on the east side of Ocean Parkway. SO
feet IL inches south of Cation place.
James A. McQuade. Register of Kings
county, has issued the certificate OF
title The examination was conducted
by James T. McGill. the official ex-
aminer of titles for Kings county, under
the land title registration law.
The titles in the neighborhood OF
Cation place depend upon the old map OF
property of Richard Totten, filed in
1854, and title searchers have had con-
siderable difficulty determining the To-
cation Of the lot lines and the old farm
lines.
Difficulty has also arisen because OF
the fact that old Bovine street, which
has been closed. ran through some OF
these lots. The decision by Justice
E'aber clears up the uncertainty on these
points The proceedings were conducted
by Walter F'airchild.

in America, is undoubtedly the forerun-
ner of many more important structures
on Fifty-seventh street. In its strategic
location on the southwest corner OF Fifth
avenue and Fifty-seventh street. how
ever, it will forever dominate the section
This Is particularly true since 1t Will be
some years before the other three cor
ners are likely to be turned into Inn
portant commercial buildings. These
sites are at present occupied by the
Huntington residence on the southeast
corner and the Cornelius Vanderbilt resi-
dence on the block front from Fifty
seventh to F'ifty-eighth street, and the
New York Trust Company Building on
the northeast corner, occupying the
former site of the Mason Jones residence,
the last occupant of which was Mrs.
Hermann Oelrichs.
These corners do not offer the possi-
bilities of the site of the present Heck
scher Building, for its plot area OF 26.500
square feet exceeds all the other three.
To begin with, the history of all import
ant side streets shows us that for busi-
ness purposes the south side OF the
street is always of greater value. Fur
thermore, a building OF greater archi-
tectural beauty could not be conceived.
This building will go far in aiding the
rapid development of Fifty-seventh
street, since it is attracting and offering
a business home for the highest type Of
wholesale and retail merchants.

GOVERNMENT SALES
STIR HOME BUYERS
Many Tenants of Shipping
Board Houses Show Desire
to Buy the Properties.

The interest shown In the coming
sales OF houses for the United States
Shipping Board by Joseph p. Day is re-
garded by that auctioneer as reliable
barometer of conditions in the house
buying market. The inquiries that are
coming in indicate that there Is
serious shortage OF living space in all Of
the various districts where the sales a-e
to be held
In the latter part Of April ninety-two
one family dwellings, three boarding
houses, four large dormitories and many
vacant lots are to be sold in Groton,

Day will sell in Bath, Me-, 109 dwell
ings, four dormitories. 232 dwellings at
Lorrain, Ohio. and 70 dwellings, at Wyan-
dotte, Mich. 4, sa4s
Because the housing situation in these
sections Is still acute, these sales will
afford an opportunity to those who wish
to acquire a permanent home. All the
developments have been thoroughly inn
proved by the Government. Speaking
of the coming sales, Mr.. Day says:
Indications point to the absorption OF
these projects by the present tenants
and the workers in the Industrial plants
that exist in these cities and communi-
ties There will also in all probability
be keen bidding by outsiders. chiefly
by those who will buy for speculation or
investment
To Sell Eastchester Tract.

Eastchester section of The Bronx, are

section OF The Bronx. but he died be-
fore the big building movement of tie
past year set in.
In July. 1920, Mr.. Day sold 1,492 lots
opposite the Hoyt holdings for the East
chester Syndicate. At that time there
were few houses in the section. To-day
more than 200 one and two FANNY

MANY REALTY BILLS
AWAIT SIGNATURES
New York Board Comments on
Merits and Dement'S Of the
Most Important.

An unusually large number OF bills
affecting real estate ownership are
awaiting the signatures OF Gov. Miller
and Mayor Hylan. The Real Estate
Board has made list or the bills which
are OF special, Importance and in a
statement issued yesterday 1t describes
them as follows:
"The Knight bill authorizing the saw
ings banks OF the State to invest in Fed
eral land bonds. while amend ed at the
suggestion OF the board so that the
funds derived from such sales to savings
banks must be invested in the district
OF which New York state forms the
principal part. is still undesirable In
that 1t increases the amount OF tax
exempt securities. This measure is still
in the Governors hands, although a
hearing hss been held.
There Is also before Gov. Miller the
real estate brokers license bill. apply
ing only to cities and to counties adj
Joining cities containing more than
/, 100000 inhabitants.
This bill q hoped. IL enacted into
law will dign.s tle profession, promote
ethical dealings and inspire confid ence
in real estate dealers and operators.
Another important measure is the
Davenport bill taxing bank shares. The
failure OF this bill would have meant a
tax loss to the State of s10,00o,000 an
nually and $6.000.0o0 annually TO the
city OF New York, or an additional 9
point increase In the tax rate.
Another would permit life insurance
companies TO invest one-tenth OF their
admitted assets In building apartments
the rent of which should not exceed 80
per month per room.
"An important measure which also
requires the approval of the Mayor is
the bill of Assemblyman Wells requiring
advertisement of condemnation matters
in ether newspapers than the CITY Rec
ord.
Another bill amends the act OF last
year requiring the Board OF Estimate to
build a tunnel to Staten Island by
placing It's operation under the Transit
Commission and under the Port Author
ity.
