An odd feature about the deal
is that the property has not been
sold, but leased for los years. This
is because it forms part of the old
farm of Robert Richard Randall,
a retired sea captain, who stipu-
lated in his will in 1901 that the
land would never be sold.
Randall left his farm, which
originally had been the Henry
Brevoort farm. for the establish
ment of Sailors Snug Harbor. He
wanted a home for "aged, deere
pit and worn-out sailors" TO be
erected upon some eligible part"
of his farm.
But soon after Randall died, the
trustees of his estate became con-
vinced that the town of New
York would grow northward on
Manhattan Island and would re-
quire streets to be cut through the
farm. They obtained permission
from the state legislature to locate
the sailors home On Staten Is

New York = Many a m ou
ghosts are about to be evicted in
New York's old Greenwich Vii
lage.
The historic Hotel Brevoort, for
more than century gathering
place of international celebrities,
will soon be torn down. Along
with it will go Mark Twain's for
mer home and several adjoining
old house to make way for a large
luxury-type apartment building in
lower Fifth Avenue near the
Washington Arch.
The Brevoort's picturesque side
walk cafe has been a familiar
land mark to tourists who for
years rode the upper decks of
Fifth Avenues buses and lately
have been riding under the glass
tops of rubber.neck buses.
Although the building has been
closed as hotel since 1948.. be-
cause of the fire laws, its ball
room, restaurant and sidewalk
cafe have remained in operation.
The upper stories have been re-
served for ghosts-of which the
Brevoort seems to have had So
cial lions share.
Presidents Registered There
For generations this hotel en-
joyed the reputation of being one
place in New York where a
Broadway producer could recruit
complete cast for play-where
a publisher could enlist staff for
a newspaper or magazine at al
most any time.
Opened IN l345 as one of the
finest hostelries in old New York,
the Brevoort kept register that
reads ike a who's Who" of the
world.
Presidents Lincoln, Garfield
and Arthur signed in as guests.
Emma, the dowager queen of the
Sandwich Islands-now known as
Hawaii-inscribed her name in
that fabulous book. Jerome Bona
parte, the Marques of Queens
bury, the Duke of Marlborough,
the Earl of Lonsdale, Prince
George of Greece were among
others who left their autographs.
The Brevoort was always noted
for its cuisine. Early in the 10th
Century, Raymond OTteig, pop
ular host and wit, took over the
proprietorship and introduced
authentic French cooking with
imported chefs.
Orteig was the man who in 1919
set up SIS, 900 prize for the first
nonstop flight from New York to
his beloved Paris. That was the
prize collected Just Is years ago
by Charles A. Lindbergh.
He Attracted The Famous
Orteig popularized the Brevoort
as meeting place for artists. ac-
tors, writers and thinkers of the
new 20th Century, His basement
dining room attracted Eugene O.
Neil in his Hedging days. Isa-

Why? Because although the

less new restoration work is done.
However, for the present II is
as safe as the Tower has been IN
years. Reports had circulated in
the Italian press, after the recent
North Italy floods, that the Tower
had tilted further TO a dangerous
point
No Immediate Danger
THE old and solid tower is in no
immediate danger of collapsing, "
said DR.. /. Noccioli. surveyor who
daily checks the delicate seismo-
graphs and inclinometers inside
the tower.
Some years ago, an extensive
survey was made of the ground
on which the tower is built. The
conclusion was that there is no
danger that the tower. whose
foundations were laid in ll74,
would collapse for $50 years.
The Tower leaned dangerously
in ITS, when its construction had
reached 80 feet from the ground.
The ground gave way on its SOU
thern side for about 5 inches in
depth. Archect Bonanno tried to
correct the inclination until the
fourth order of arches, but he did
not succeed and gave up the COP

61,S62,OOO Employed
In u. ). Durinq October
BY the Associotsd Press

The Commerce Department said
yesterday $780,, 900 Americans
were working at regular jobs in
mid October-about the sam e
number as at the similar season
last year-and the number of un-
employed was 1924, 900, lowest
since World War II years.
Its Census Bureau said the
number of employed persons de-
clined by $4,000 from September
to october and the number of
unemployed declined by $4,000
1t is possible for both to decline
simultaneously since the bureau
counts as unemployed only those
persons who are out of jobs and
looking for work. An employment
drop from September to October
is a usual seasonal thing; account
ed for in part by boys and girls
giving up jobs and going back to
school.
