NEW YORK, June 25.-The Muir
ray Hill district. scene Of many FASH
ionable assemblies for the last quar-.
ter Of a century, will remain strong
hold of society here. Attempts by
business to invade lower Park ave.
nue. have been thwarted by the court
and social leaders Of the "old school,
are rejoicing. Traditions of many
famous names linger about the dis
trict, and the present outlook is that
these will be preserved indefinitely.
A short time ago there was an
attempt to bring about the construc-
ton of a large building at Park ave-
nue. and Fortieth street. Well known
property owners, society folk, all
stood upon a 60-year covenant with
the city, restricting the area to resi-
dental purposes. Recently Supreme
Court justice handed down a decision
concurring with their contention.
Union Clubs New Home Site.
The Union Club, one of the oldest
and most exclusive clubs in the city.
now at Fifth avenue and Fifty-first
street, opposite st. Patrick's Cattle.
dral, has purchased a site for a new
home at the northeast corner Of Park
avenue and Sixty ninth street.
No definite sum was made public,
but the price was thought to exceed
$3.50 900. Among the members are
j. Pierpont Morgan, Clarence H.
Mackay, Newcomb Carlton, Nicholas
Murray Butler. Cornelius Vanderbilt.
Harold S. Vanderbilt, Thomas F.
Ryan, William K. Vanderbilt and
William Avery Rockefeller.
When it was founded 81 years ago,
June IT, 1886, the Union Club occupied
quarters at 343 Broadway. In May
OF 1912, it expanded and took a more
commodious home at 376 Broadway.

The normal market value is the
base upon which values are made,
with special values that may arise.
and fair market values for par
ticular evicinities. Appraisal at q
market value, ne said, was that
value for which the property would
be sold in cash by one who does not
have to sell. The average sale Is
the best evidence OF value, and this
sale is controlled by the age.old
principal Of supply and demand.
Boom and depreciation factors.
however. must enter into the study
Of what the property was previously
purchased at and what the prop
orty's stability price is now.
Land Valuation
The elements entering into the
proper valuation Of land are: Loca.
ton, utility, size and shape OF lot.
In regard to location and acces-
sibility, it was pointed out that in
most cities tho highest valuations
are in the downtown business dis
tricts and districts that are visited
by the most people, ana utiiily
chiefly concerns the use OF the lot'
the desirability of the ground In re-
spect to special purposes. In deai-
ing with the size, it must De taken
into consideration the assembled
plottage and the depth and the
utility of the size TOR specific pur-
poses. Zoning regulations, par.
ticularly in the District OF Co
lumbia, also enter as a large FACTOR
in appraisal matters. These regula-
tions govern height. Of buildings.
amount of land which can be USED
and the type of buildings that may
be placed on the ground. Aonlng
must be particularly studied ana
understood in order to have q
proper appraisal arrived at salo
the speaker.
In order to make proper valua-
ton it was suggested that q map
should be made showing both size
OF the ground square and the four
corners together with the depths
OF the lot. The ground and build
ing values should also be analysed
to properly determine the ground
values. The speaker declared that
many experienced appraisers adopt
the unit system of valuation which
was recommended by the National
Association Of Real Estate Boards
some years ago.
This system calls for the estab-
fishing of the value Of typical
inside lot to the full depth of the
longest lot and the comparison OF
this strip of ground with the re-
naming long and short lots. Others,
he declared, used the 4, .. 2, 4,
rule, placing 40 per cent on the
next Is feet, 20 per cent on the
the back Is feet.

being appraised do not produce in

terest on the ground then the value
OF the improvements are worth

all rules are subject to the common
sense rule which must necessarily

fecting particular property.
In speaking of the value of i'm.
provements that usually represent
the reproduction cost less a fair
depreciation from the time built.
Fair depreciation is largely a mat.

He advocated the exchange Of

tons might be arrived at and form

because of the broad scope Of the
possibilities offered.
The Wardman Construction Conn.,
pany offers the purchaser a service
that is absolutely complete in every
detail from drawing the plans to
financing the purchase. 1t is COM
mendable that an organization that
has planned, constructed and ii.
nanced the tremendous projects
creditabIe to the Wardman office
SHOULD lend its complete resources
to the problems of the individual
home buyer.
Furthermore, the plan IL not only
sound. but its provisions are elastic.
The home may be built from plans
drawn by the Wardman architects
to conform to the ideas and needs
of the buyer. costructed by the
Wardman company under the joint
supervision Of that organization and
the new owner. and financed up to
so per cent of its cost by the Ward.
man office. Or it may be built
from plans submitted by the pur.
chaser and financed through other
channels.
1t is believed that a long felt
want will be supplied by the new
idea and it is obvious that the pur-
chaser will gain distinct advantages
through the purchasing power re-
sources and experience of the Ward
man organiza ton.
Having chosen Woodley Park as
the community in which this ar
