REALTY REFLECTIONS By FRED L. GROSS. Bonjrlnston, L. to Have Meeting Place for Residents at Lit lie Neck Bay. As an evidence of real estate growth and general Increase In population of nearby North Shore Communities on Long Island, a civic and pastime club has been recently formed at Douglas- ton at the point of Little Neck Bay.

Not over seven years ago Douglaston Park was comparatively a wilderness, while today It boarts of many tine houses and several miles of well made streets. The demand for a much needed community organization in this growing section has been met by the inauguration of this new fellowship club. The club will use for Its headquarter and clubhouse the large north wing of the very handsome building at the entrance to the park. This building is owned by J. W.

Doollttle, the founder of Douglaston Park, and is Being altered by the architects into first olass clubrooms, with lockers for members and other conveniences. Tennis courts will be the leading sum mer attraction. In the cold weather these courts will, bv a Deoultar sys tem of sloping banks, be flooded for ice skating. The membershlD of the club is made up of residents of Douglaston Park, and already the limit of membership has been leached and a waiting list started. The organization will be known as the Douglaston Park Tennis Club.

The officers are: E. a Taylor, president; Donald Simpson, secretary and Harold Jenkins treasurer. In addi tion to Its pastime features. It Is purposed to have the club take up various clvlo and political questions, and an otner topics that naturally arise In a rapidly increasing community of nome-ioving people. 3 Chat of the Realty World George H.

December 4, 1883, but has spent most of his life in the Flatbush' section, where he started bis career as a real estate broker. He was for a number of years associated with the well known real estate linn of Leonard Moody. Mr.

Gray organized the base ball team of tho board and serves In the capacity of mnnngnr. It was through his active campaigning anions members of the hoard that the team secured a field for Its games, located at Avenue and Ocean Parkway.

Castle. 9 gtrM It Au'a James H. Brewster Believes He Can Solve the Problem, SAVE THE PARKWAY TREES! Editor Brooklyn Dally Eagle: In your Issue of July 14 you have quite an account of a meeting of a number of noted tree experts as to a possible method of savins; the trees along the Eastern Parkway from de struction by the proposed subway. Please allow me to call your attention to a plan you published In The Eagle early In June In reference to that subject. That plan has been submitted to the Park Department and to the Publlo Service Commission, and I am rather surprised that no notice was taken ot it by said tree experts.

There are no engineering difficulties in using it. its advantages In the work of construction are so much In its favor that I doubt If it would add to Its cost, and it Is a perfect saver of the trees. Why was not some attention given to It? Might I suggest that a matter of so much importance Is worthy of a reprint of said plan In The Eagle as you are so much engaged In planning for the improvement and betterment of our famous residential city. JAMES N. BREWSTER.

Brooklyn, July 18, 1914. Mr. Brewster's plan, as published In The Eaxle on June 8. follows! "From articles appearing In The Eagle in reference to the Eastern Park way subway's injury to the trees, which It seems Impossible to avoid under the present mode of construction, and Its extra cost if put to a greater depth so as to possibly save them, prompts me to send you a plan of construction that may possibly be used to advantage. "I find that the present roadway Is sixty feet wide from curb to ourb and that the trees stand ten feet from the curb, this makes them eighty feet apart, and that the subway excavation requires the use of the sixty feet at least.

Now I propose to out that sixty feet In half by making the subway a two-story structure, running the express trains beneath the local ones. This will take the structure away from the trees and certainly save them. "As to the work of tho construction, sav the present plan requires the sixty feet In width and fifteen feet In depth, then each lineal foot requires the removal of 900 feet of soil and If It Is as contemplated to put it three feet deeper to save the trees then 1,080 feet of soil has to be removed. Now for my plan, say first story, 30x16 feet, depth; lower story, 12x30 feet eouals twenty-seven feet, plus thirtv, Is 810 feet, or ninety feet less than the first plan, and a great advantage is gained in construction in that It leaves fifteen feet on each side for working purposes, and another advantage in being clear of the tree branches overhead for use of cranes. There are no engineering difficulties In rising from the lower to the upper track, as that Is done at the Brooklyn Bridge now.

and by using the lower tracks for the express trains, but few stations would be at that level. The subway could be ventilated by putting an isle of safet at each street crossing and these could be made an ornament to the Parkway. N. J. FARM EXCHANGED FOR BROOKLYN HOMES The three two-story dwellings, 2455 and 2461 Bedford avenue and 371 East Thirty-first street, have been given by Ellas Peter Hicks, M.D., for a farm consisting of 111 acres at Martinsville, N.

PUBLIC QUESTIONS Problems of Property Owners to Be Discussed at Monthly Meetings. BY AN ADVISORY COMMITTER Real Estate Interests Appoint Publicity Committee Composed of Newspaper Men. Frequently the effectiveness of real estate associations has beon undermined by the belief that such bodies adopt no course of aotlon upon publlo questions unless such action is extremely favorable to real estate Itself or will prove to be beneficial to a few of the prominent leaders In these associations.

Unfounded suspicions of this oharaoter have often offset the excellent work that the various real estate bodies have accomplished, for as a matter of fact many property owners and real estate brokers have devoted their time and efforts at considerable expense to themselves to the betterment and welfare of the city. In order to be In perfect consonance with this admirable publio spirited tendency on the part of many real estate owners and agents the Advisory Council of Real Estate Interests will endeavor to make its final decision on publlo questions of such a broad and liberal character that, although primarily conserving the Interests ot property owners, they will simultaneously be for the best Interests of the city. The proper and reasonable conservation of the Interests of real estate owners should be identified with the best interests of the city, Inasmuch as the real estate constitutes the chief source of the city revenue. Co-operation between landlord and tenant, between the publlo and the property owners and between the city and the various real estate organizations will be emphasized by the council. The council Itself was formed with the purpose of being a representative body, by having members elected from each of the five boroughs of Greater new York, and representatives from the various real estate associations as well as men who are interested in real estate In connection with their work in business, commercial and financial fields.

In order, therefore, that the council may be fully advised upon every publlo question that may arise in so far as the publlo sentiment Is concerned, a' publicity committee has been appointed consisting of the prominent real estate editors of New York news papers. This committee will advise the council upon various propositions that will be considered, and how to make known through the press and other means of publicity the wishes and true interests of realestate owners and secure for them proper consider atlon in the rogulatlon of their own af fairs. It is hoped by being thus advised that the conclusions of the council will reflect both the views of the city and the publlo as well as of the real estate owners. The chairman of the publicity committee is John J. Nutt of the Record and Guide, and the other members are WTIliam Brede, Evening Globe; C.

Times. SECOND COMING OP CHRIST. Evangelist Cardey Says the Time Is Near. An exceptionally large audience at tended the lecture at the Gospel Tent last evening, located at Flatbush ave nue and Sterling place. Evangelist Cardey's lecture on "The Manner of the Second Coming of Christ" was of a very stirring nature.

He sold that the very fact that so much is being said and written today about the near advent of Christ Is evidence that God is moving upon people along that line, and thought that undoubtedly that great event was very near. Few today seem to have a clear understanding of how Christ will come again. In Matthew, the Acts and Revelation we are told positively that He will return in the clouds of heaven and evory eye on the earth will behold Him. Not this time as a man of sorrows, or as an earthly king, but as Lord of lords and King of kings will He come. Mr.

Cardey stated that nearly every book In the Bible testified to the fact that the second coming of Christ would be visible to the natural eyes, and that the wicked would be slain by the brightness of His glory. There will be no service tonight, but the programme for next week promises to be an interesting one. OLD CHURCH SOLD. Edifice on Ocean Avenue, Arverne, to Become Synagogue. The Lewis H.

May Company has sold for the Arverne-by-the-Sea Company (William Amerman, president) the Union Church Property, on the south side of Ocean avenue, Arverne, L. on a plot 75x125, to the Rev.

Wu the Result of Two Yean Work In Ivaw Departmeut of the City of New York, The Corporation Counsel's office of the City of New York effected thto week an exchange whereby the city quitclaims to the West Rookaway Land Company all Its right and title lmmedl-1 ate or contingent to the property lying In front of the rrantnes upland and south of a line parallel with and 100 feet south of the bulkhead line of Ja-malca Bay as established by the United Btates Government In 1902 to mean high water line as determined by the Dock Department of the city. In return the West Rockaway Land Company gave to the city a quit claim deed to the 100-foot strip and all the land north of that strip under water and In Jamaica Bay. The strip extends from the westerly side of Wlnthrop street four blocks easterly to the easterly side of Lincoln avenue, excepting a 200-foot strip the block between Oriental and Felham avenues reserved for the Belle Harbor Yacht Club.

The shifting of the shore lines on the Rockaway peninsula In the last 100 years and more is the cause of most of the big boundary disputes that have been occupying much of the time of the courts for the past thirty or forty years. Accordinir to the old United States survey maps in 1837 the dry land extended away out severnl hundred feet north of the United States bulkhead line of 1902 which latter is now over 400 feet north of the shore line of the eeo-tlon as surveyed and officially mapped by the Dock Department of the City of New York. In view of the Impending Jamaica Bay Improvement it has been considered by the city officials as of the utmost Importance that the city's title to the entire shore front on the north side of the Rockaway peninsula should be fixed beyond question for all time. The Corporation Counsel has, after an extended series of negotiations, finally had a similar permanent adjustment of the waterfront boundary line made with all of the owners of upland Including such bisr concerns as the West Rockaway Land Company, Rockaway Park Company, Lancaster Sea Beach Improvement Company, Somerville Somervllle Company, Holland Estate and others. The cession of a rirtt of way for the proposed 100-foot boulevard renders possible the early opening of this fine thoroughfare skirting the bay front all through the Rockaways, which will not only, greatly enhance the dignity and the Importance the beauty of the entire north sine of the peninsula tor a distance of four or five miles and make a handsome approach to the city's new seaside nark but it will provide a loca tlon for a big trunk sewer the proposed artery for a greatly needed comprehen sive sewer system for the entire Rock away nenmsUKij witn a permanent pop ulation of 40.000 and n.

transient popu latlon of 100,000 morain the summer season. Leading Realty Transfers. James Qarreston, referee, sold to Fred Ingraham, plaintiff in suit against M. Fannie Norton, over three-fourth's of a block at Edgemere Crest, comprising 80 full lots and parts of lots, the boundary line of the tract running diagonally across the block. The lots a frontage of 380 feet west side of Rochester avenue and 200 feet east side of Wave Crest avenue.

The consideration was $100, subject to a mortgage of $20,000. John H. McCooey, the Democratic organization leader of Brooklyn, bought two lots of the Neponsit Realty Company 'at Neponsit, West Rockaway, with a frontnge of 40 feet northwest side of Newport avenue and 85 feet southwest side of Seminole street. Lillian Van Bussman sold to Stock Realty Company, two 8-story brick dwellings with a frontage of 40 feet north side of Broadway and 80 feet east side of Emerald Crest, Wood-haven, subject to mortgages aggregating $11,200. Fannie Bernstein sold to Abraham Gold a plot of 6 lots with a frontage of 25 feet south side of University place and 200 feet side of Park place, subject to a mortgage of Roosevelt Avenue Building Company conveyed to J.

Perhaps wtll be said that is easy enough to eat down town -either before or after the sale. But I want to answer that by saying that havo found that the most satis- factory bidders were people of moderate means, usually living in the neighborhood of the property to be 'sold. Home of them do not come down town from the beginning of the year to the end. And as for eating In a restaurant down town, that would stag-por them. They are not accustomed to It, and rather than go through all the fuse of arranging matters so as to attend a sale at twelve o'clock they would prefer to remain at home.

Why would not 11 a.m. or 2 p.m. be mora practical and convenient? After a sale It Is often necessary to attend to a number of details either with, the purchaser, or the referee, or In placing the title for title insurance, etc, and occasionally two o'clock arrives before these details are arranged. Years iigo It was customary to close titles at twelve o'clock noon, and I recall having gone without lunch very often until 8:30 or 4 p.m. It is a no-, torious fact that In some places oner can hardly expect to close a title in lesH than two or three hours, when one-half hour would really sufTlce.

Gradually this time-honored hour of' closing titles was departed from until now it Is rather an exception than general thing to cloRe a title at twelve o'clock noun. It has been found that 10:110 a.m. or 2 p.m. Is much more satisfactory. Perhaps the dawn Is at hand for Judicial sales also, and we may.

in the near future find ourselves quite willing to adnrrt a mora convenient hour for judicial sales.

Walter B. Hofer. The recent auction sale of a large) number of lots which was held in tne evening at the Academy of Muslo In Brooklyn was, according to general report, quite satisfactory and suocaisstul. The holding of such a sale In the evon-1ng was not an experiment, as It has been tried a number of times, and If the general satisfaction expressed as the result of such sales Is genuine, it might be well to seriously oonsldor the holding of all auction sales In the evening. The aucton sales thus far bold In the evening were sales which, for want of a better name, may be called private auction sales.

Sales In foreclosure actions, partition, dower suits, and. In fact, any Judicial sales, have so far not been held In the evening, at least not In Now York or Kings counties. But If anyone wants to experiment In holding a Judicial sale in the evening, there would seoin to be little difficulty in the way. Hulo 62 of the goneral rules of practice provides that "where lands in the County of New York or the County of Kings art) sold under a decree, order or Judgment of any court they shall be sold at publlo auction between 11 o'clock In the forenoon and 8 o'clock In tho afternoon, unless otherwise specifically directed." Undoubtedly sales held In the evening would attract a larger numoer 01 per sons. Whether It would attract any larger number of those who would really buy at a Judicial sale cannot be prophesied.

The fact that a large attendance and actlvo bidding are the rule at the evening sales thus far held can hardly be regarded as a safe guldo In all sales. The sales thus far hold In the evening wore of tracts cut up Into lota which were sold at prices ranging from perhaps a lot up to ana $7,000 or more. The large number of bitlders was perhaps attracted by tho large number of lota offeroil, which, ot course, held out to tho bidders tho pros pect pf being able to outnin one or more of tho lots at a reasonable price. The same satisfactory result may not be obtained, however, In the caso of a Judicial sale where but ono hotiso and lot Is offered, and where the bltl must necessarily be a considerable amount, as, for example, In a foreclosure where the mortgugeo would bid tho amount of his mortgage. Interest ana costs, auu bitlders know that usually this amount, at least, must be bid If they have any real hope, of buying In tho property or-fered at the sale.

And yot, it seems to me that a fair proportion of bitlders could probably be drawn even to such salts. If held In tho evening. It is a known fact that almost everybody Is anxious to venture In the purchase of real estate. There seems to be an almost general desire on the part of the people to own land. But It Is equally well known that often that desire Is not qulto so Intense as to make any considerable number of prospective buyers neglect their otner Business affairs.

In other words, the ordinary tradesman, while perhaps perfectly willing to Invest some of his savings In real estate, will not go to the extent of leaving his business for several hours during the best part of the day to attend an auction sale. And so the man employed In a bank or mercantile house, who might bo willing to venture part of his savings in a real estate Investment, would hardly think of asking his employer to let him off for two hours, time and again, to attend auction solos until he Anally makes a successful bltl at some sale, and so Invests his money. But If such sales wore held In the evening these men, and many similarly situated, could conveniently attond sale after sale until they successfully bid In some parcel and so Invested their available money. There Is another side to the suggestion. The luwyers and' the auctioneers may not like the Idea of attending sales In the evening.

For my self, I would rather not see the sales held at night. With most lawyers much of the day Is consumed In con ferences with people coming In, sitting in court rooms waiting for cases to be tried, and doing routine work, and If It were not for a few evenings when long uninterrupted stretches of time can be devoted to real work, one would never catch up with what Is expected of him. But if It developed that evening sales were really advantageous to one's clients, there would simply hnve to be some readjust mmt of methods and tho sales could bo as conveniently held In tho evening. And while we are on this subject, is It not a fact that we now hold our stiles at a most Inconvenient and ridiculous hour? Twelve o'clock noon! There may be a whole lest of tra- ditlonal sentiment in holding a sale I nt high noon, but I cannot see any i wise reason for clinging to tra-j tlltton. In some of our country cotin- ties eonsideral.le of the court work, is still done on Saturday.

Now -it- unlay be the most convenient day. for the fitrmer to 1 1 olT and come lo: town, but here In tho city we have long ago given up the practice of malting Saturday the real court day, and we conduct only pntetieally inform. tl court mailers on Sat iirtlay. And it 1 may be true that fifty or seventy-live years ago twelve o'clock was a convenient time for a Judicial sale, an It allowed umple time for unyone within driving distance to reach town am! get back home again before Hut lietti In the city, twelve o'clock seems to cut Into everything.
