A steady demand for property

Joining suburban colonies on VII

plans to erect beautiful residence.

Property values have been ad.
vancing SO rapidly in Battery Park
that Col. A. e. Maybach OF the of.
nee or chief OF the coast artillery.
has purchased three lots In the
2ark for speculative purposes. He
expects to dispose OF them in the
spring at a good profit. Jerome

Plan for Future.
Maddux.Marshall & Co. already
are laying plans for the further de-
velopment Of Edgemoor and Bat
terry Park on an extensive scale
next year. Present construction
operations win be continued until
freezing weather sets IN. and be
resumed intensively with the first
sign of spring. Should the winter
be an open one there win be yir-
tually no lull in activities, accord
ing to Maj. III. C. Maddux, president
OF the company.
There are now forty.nine homes
either finished or under construc-
ton In Battery Park, the first of
which was started little less than q
year ago, which In itself is evidence
OF the phenomenal development OF
this suburban colony. Building has
not yet started In Edgsmoor, but
it win begin within the next two
weeks. Major Maddux promises
that homes started now will be
ready for occupancy shortly after
the first OF the year.
According to Major Maddux the
same system Of construction that
has proved 50 highly successful in
Battery Park viii be employed In
the building operations in Edgemoor,
whereby the workmen are divided
into shifts and as soon as one shift
completes its work the next one is
ready to begin.
Results in Saving.
by this method we are able to
build . home without the aggravat-
ing delays that people encounter
when they are doing it themselves"
said Major Maddux. Besides saving
time It results in considerable say.
ing to both the company and the
purchaser because there are no dol
lars lost In needless motion.
AT the present time in Battery
Park we have q force Of $50 men on
the ground, including carpenters,
masons, plasterers, plumbers and
miscellaneous workers, besides an
expert staff Of architects, engineers
and landscape artists. We have our
own lumber mill right on the prop
erty, and q reserve supply of con-
struction materials that insures
us against delay should there be an
unexpected interruption in deliveries.
The whole proposition is eff
GENTLY organized and 1t has enabled
us to erect and people a residential
colony on a spot that a little over a
year ago was nothing but a meadow.
We intend to do the same thing in
Edgemoor, and in a few months we
expect that our new subdivision will
present as busy scene as Battery
Park does now"
