NEWARK AT PORTAL
OF MARKED GROWI7-.
Port Development and New In
dustries Assure Prosperity
for Real Estate.
by CHARLES f. KRAEMER.

President Of the Real Estate Board OF
Nepdrk.
Never in the history Of Newark was
the approach Of new year so anx-
iously anticipated or so laden with such
auspicious possibilities as the one We
have entered. notwithstanding the
many disturbances to our business and
industrial life and the distorted mental
condition of our people that the war has
caused, we are rapidly regaining our
equilibrium, and with the proper guild
ance at the hands of strong and trust
worthy officials our municipal craft will
soon be sailing in clear waters toward
prosperity and success.
Nature has endowed Newark with q
strategic position. Our Industries are
all preparing for the oncoming worlds
trade. Our seaport development is
nearing the point where we can soon
shelter the worlds commerce. Our
great transportation questions. both pas
senger and freight, are rapidly being
planned and coordinated SO that we will
soon be the terminus OF all these giant
carriers. Interstate communication is
fast being established by the vehicular
tunnel and bridge projects. What more
could any city ask what greater future
could one want to look forth to?
From the real estate standpoint there
Is no territory that holds out greater
Investment inducements than Greater
Newark. We have seen land values ad-
vance from $4,000 to $4,000 a front
foot on Broad near Market street in
the last twenty years. Such increases
are only indications of what will affect
the entire business section of this city.
Industries have made Newark what
II is. and Newark has quickly adapted
itself to Industrial wants and require
ments. but this is only the beginning.
The coming year is destined to see the
largest Industrial influx that we have
ever experienced, cue to the city's devel-
opment OF Its waterfront lands and deep
ening OF the waters Of Newark Bay.
or no less significance is the general
program of our City Commissioners and
the Board of Chosen Freeholders. who
are In every way cooperating toward
the end of reducing their overhead in
the various departments, looking to
higher efficiency and practicing tho
strictest economy so as to reduce the
taxpayers burdens.
And. last but not least, Vthe undertake
Ing of vast Industrial DEVELOPMENT
along the lines of the Bush Terminal
multiple lofe building idea IN the Port
Newark Terminal area, now under ad-
visement and consideration by the en-
gineer OF the Department OF Streets and
improvements, Is feature that means

program that the city is considering.

property. The increase in population al
Long Beach will be very marked. and
thousands who purchased should be In
enviable positions.
The same condition exists at Garden
City Estates, Long Island, where more
than 1000 lots went under the hammer,
At the present time considerably more
than a score of new dwellings of a sub
stantial character are being erected. and
many more are projected. Important
sales were held at Long Island City in
volving both industrial and residential
properties. Many of the buyers are
taking advantage of the tax exemption
law and are starting TO erect homes be-
fore the law expires next April.
The principal auction sale of Inn
proved properties A. Manhattan during
1921 involved the Cortlandt-Palmer
Estate, at the southeast corner of
Broadway and Fourteenth street, in
cluding the old Morton House. the oi
Keith Theatre and an office building.
This valuable corner was sold for ST.
10000, and since has been leased in its
entirety at a price which retrrns u
splendid income to the new own~rs 81
the land. The total of the entire estate
sale was $1,952,5o0.
The most important sale In Yonkers
involved the proper ties belonging to the
estate OF James Gordon Bennett for
the Guaranty Trust Company and To-
. Gated in the Dunwoodie section OF
Yonkers. This property was acquired
by the late Mr.. Bennett several years
ago, and involved about 1900 lots. These
were sold to individual home seekers
many of whom are now improving their
purchases.
The Rockaway coast also came into
prominence through several sales which
were held during last summer. includ-
ing the two tracts OF land at CEDAR
hurst, the we'll known Solomon Castle
property and others.
In addition to the Park PendIeton sale
In Long Island City other important
auction offerings In that section in
volved the Kennedy Collins tract in
Long Island City for the Mercantile
Trust Company; also the John ID. Grim
Minis Estate property in the same sec
ton, the Einstein Estate and large
tract in the Bowery Bay section.
The year 1920 was record year In
the auction market and few people
thought that the 1921 totals would even
equal it. That they were mistaken Is
new a matter Of history. and 1921 will
certainly go down as a banner year.
The home and lot buying movement Is
in full swing. The demand is far from
satisfied. and we look to see great ac-
tivity during the next spring and sum-
mer.
The New York herald., 1922-01-08

What is the outlook for the real estate
auction market? The brightest in all
the annals OF New York realty. l am as
confident OF this as am Of the ultimate
results of the Washington disarmament
conference. The auction market was
never better than during 1924 and the
market for 1922 promises to overshadow
it. particularly in the volume Of vacant
/. lot transactions. And there is good rea-
son for believing this. Civilization has
begun to put its house In order again. 1t
is recovering from the moral slump
which has kept the world in a state Of
paralysis for almost a decade. 1t is
turning to peace and is making it's posi-
tion more stable and secure. 1t is get
ting rid Of disorders and restoring con-
fidence. 1t is reviving trade everywhere.
setting in motion all its industrial looms
and creating a demand by one nation for
the wares and goods and good will of
another.
Added strength Is given to r1y faith In
the future of the real estate auction
market in the return of investors to
the field OF realty and their active par
tcipation in most of the important
transactions. For several years past
they have held aloof. devoting most of
their attention to stocks and bonds and
other securities. They lost sight OF the
solidarity Of New York real estate and
of real estate as source of constant
and steady income. Having sustained
tremendous losses in other fields, which
they had been led to believe offered
fabulous profits, the truth has dawned
upon a large number of investors that
the safest kind of an investment is inn
proved real property which produces
substantial returns
Let me say that Investment in the real
estate market during the 1914-191S con-
flict against militarism and during the
postwar period to date has meant The
conservation or saving OF fortunes for
many American citizens, because of the
soundness OF real estate and its ability
to stand up against even. so great
catastrophe as the world war. 1t is
truly remarkable that while crery thing
else virtually went to smash zeal estate,
especially New York real estate, stood
the shock without once feeling It.
When one considers Manhattan real
estate by itself, what equals it from an
investment standpoint? There is no
spot on the island whose value of the
moment is not fixed and whose greater
value of the future is not assured. Man
haitian has hardly been developed, and
within the next decade or two, when the
real stride of development is begun, we
must look for real estate growth out
d!stancing by tremendous margin any
growth of the past. As proof of this.
banking Institutions insurance compa-
niles. mortgages and individuals OF
known conservation are handling more
real estate securities than ever before.
and they realize more than ever before
the soundness of investment in real es-
tate and its strength and potentialities.
Ny confidence in the future of the real
estate auction market Is also strength
ened by the increasing number OF
women investors, operators and specu-
lators at all my sales. When women
