US, to determine the validity of the
act, and we refrain, therefore, from
deciding that question"
There are two cases in which the
constitutionality of the law was chal-
lenged in the lower court. Both were
in Cook county,. The first case was
before Judge Hugo Pam, who held the
law to be constitutional. This case
was not appealed. The second case
was tried by Judge Denis E. Sullivan,
who ignored the Pam decision and
held the law to be unconstitutional.
The two judges have equal jurisdic-
ton. The union took an appeal from
the Sullivan decision. The supreme
court declined to concur in the part
of the Sullivan decision which held the
law to be invalid, and the effect is to
wipe out that part of Judge Sullivan's
opinion, without, however, holding the
law to be valid. The Pam decision
still stands.

is almost exactly the same as last

was $4.725, or 10 per cent higher
than in 1921
There has been a steady increase
also in the average cost of two

class of dwelling was $3,762. BY
1926 this had risen to $4,4SO an in

Humanity Presses Shoreward
From Metropolitan Areas
Philadelphia and New York Both Swing This Way-Center
r of New York District Now In New Jersey

Will Atlantic City eventually be-
come a part of the Philadelphia
metropolitan area, or the New York
metropolitan area?.
The swing of population into
New Jersey from the metropolitan
areas of Philadelphia and New
York, demonstrates the growth
constantly going on.
New Jersey has laid claim to the
suburban center of population in
the new metropolitan district of
New York through Bolton Hall, a
lawyer, of Berkeley Heights, N. j.,
who has law offices at 2 East
Twenty-third Street, Manhattan.
Mr.. Halls analysis of the district
which las a population estimated
at 100000, follows:
The New York suburban metro
politan district as laid out by the
Merchants Association of New
York. including Westchester anc
RockIand, has but $4,000 popula-
ton lin round numbers; adding
Long Island with Nassau County,
Huntington and Babylon, the SUI
burbs, other than New Jerseys
have only $4,000 people.
But the New Jersey metropoli-
tan district has more than three
times the two of them put together.
That is, Jerseys part of the forty
mile circle drawn around New York
City Hall, has 2,672,O00, about half
what New York City has.
what will it be when every
auto has tried the vehicular tun-
nel?"
The growths of Philadelphia and
New York merely emphasize the
value of the developed shore front
and the attractiveness of small SUI
burban cities like West Atlantic
City, where seclusion and privacy
add to the joy of home life.
Boulevard values are also made
by the press Of humanity in this
direction.

Benjamin r. Fox Sees Realty
Boom Due In a Few
Months
GIVES RULES BY
WHICH TO BE GUIDED
Cheap Money, Recovery From
Industrial Depression, I'm
provement in Transports
ton and Other Factors Are
Listed

An upward movement in real
estate should again be in evidence
soon after the first of the year, fol-
lowing recovery after recent in
dustrial and general depression.
according to Benjamin R. Fox, who
has been active in Atlantic City
building operations for twenty
years.
Signposts by which investors
may recognize the approach of in
creasing activity in urban real
estate, sometimes called a boom,
were outlined as follows yesterday
by Mr.. Fox, with the caution that
all indications must be considered
as a whole and not separately:
1. Money will be cheap. There
will be a large volume available
for investment. Time money rates
on the Stock Exchange serve as a
good index.
2. Stocks and bonds will be COM
paratively high in price, meaning
that their yield are lower than for
several previous years.
5. Industry generally will be re.
covering from period of depres-
sion. Freight car loadings will be
reaching higher average than
usual
d. Unfinished orders of the
United States Steel Company,
which are reported monthly. will
be mounting after period of ex-
tended decline.
5. Unemployment will be general
ly diminishing.
6. Farm prices will have been en-
the upward grade after an extended
period of agricultural depression.
This consideration deserves more
Importance than it usually receives
because of the large. Influence which
the purchasing power of the farmer
still exercises over urban prosper
ity.
T. Commodity prices generally
will be moving upward after long
decline, as indicated in the month
ly induces of Bradstreet's, Duh's
and the Department of Labor.
8 An increase in general trans
portation facilities may be noted.
This may consist either of extern
sion of metropolitan rapid transit
facilities, such as is occurring now
in New York and Philadelphia.
1t may consist of both.
9. Neighborhood characteristics
and neighborhood populations will
be shifting, as a result either of
new transportation facilities or Of
better living standards.
10. The annual return on rents
will generally be higher than the
return on well-secured bonds and
seasoned stocks.
"The next few MONTHS" says Mr..
Fox, Twill provide an excellent op-
portunity to acquire real estate
holdings at an attractive price.
Those who make real money in
real estate Investments are. of
course, those who are foresighted
enough to purchase before boom
comes into full swing"
