Upper Flushing Association united several years ago in an endeavor lo eliminate this mosquito-breeding urea. Resolutions were adopted, requesting that It be drained, and finally President Connolly took the matter up, had his engineers make a survey, and the drain was laid out, following the course of a street as laid out on the city tentative map. proceedings were instituted to acquire an casement, as the property owners were not ready at that time to open a real street In this position.

After the proceeding was under way, considerable difficulty was encountered in the construction work for the drain. The proceeding was amended In order to permit the uso of a wider ditching machine. Last fall the drain was completed, with the exception of about 60 feet of ground, upon which stood a barn. The original owner of the property emieavore to uurchase the barn from lie city and then move it back from the sewer easement area. complications arose nnd tho matter was delayed until finally an opinion of Corporation "impel wn iirouelit nut.

which stated that the only way to dis pose of the matter was to demolish the building, which was done a week ago, and now the connecting link of Uhe drain has been built and the wa.ier is nowing out oi mi' niu svnnij, and the project which was contemplated over sixty years ago will now hopflmn fnct I D.

Remsen Johnson of the Jere Johnson Jr. Company, in discussing values in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn, said yesterday that "values in Bay Ridge, particularly in that section extending from Kixty-fifth street to the terminui of Third avenue and Fourth avenue, have never been too high." "Even in the so-called 'Boom days! when speculation in real estate was rife, had an unbiased investigator compared the very highest prices ever paid within this area with the then prevailing prices in other sections of the city particularly in the Bronx and had he considered," remarked Mr.

Johnson, "relative accessibility and relative nat ural advantages and surroundings, he would have Inevitably reached the conclusion that prices In this Bay Ridge district never began to be high enough. At one time there were indications that Bay Ridge property was about to come into its own, but this movement had hardly started when it was checked, for the time being, by the general stagnation in the real estate market and in the building trade. "if there has ever been a time when well located lots In the Bay Ridge section should be purchased, that time is now, because under existing conditions any property that Is forced upon the market must be sacrificed at a fraction of it intrinsic worth. New York is every year increasing enormously in population, but today building operations ore practically at a standstill. We are rapidly approaching a condition of real, perhaps of dangerous, congestion.

We are coming to the point when, irrespective of the high tost of material and labor, apartments and flats and one and two family houses must be erected. Then, too, even Jf the war should continue, and are ail hoping and praying and working fqr a speedy victory, it is probable that before so very long the present insistent and abnormal demands by our Government for material and labor will be appreciably lessened and building conditions will become more normal. Sooner or later there will be a widespread demand for the most available building sites in the market, and he most available building sites are right here in this Bay Ridge section. "The owners of the 123 lots we are to sell at absolute auction on Saturday, June 29, on the premises at 2 p.m., fully understand the present conditions and also the bright prospects of the prop erty, but they are compelled to sell now and cannot wait for the tide to change; and so the property must go under the ruthless hammer of the auctioneer. Their loss will be each buyer's gain.

"Those whu have never visited the Shore Road liuve a treat in store for them. On one side, separated by a stretch of city-owned park, Is the bay, with its constantly shifting panorama of vessels entering and leaving port and with the hills of Htoten Island In the background. On the other side are de. tached houses In various styles of architecture, most of them with, spacious grounds. On Riverside Drive, the pride of the Borough of Manhattan, assessed values are just about eight times what they are on the Hhore Road, and yet the KhDre Road is now Just about as accessible and much more attractive.

Riverside Drive also has a strip of park be-tween the wuter and the driveway, but tho water is the Hudson River and not the Bay and the park is traversed by a great railroad, necessarily entailing a certain amount of discomfort. Qn the land side, too, instead of detached dwellings and lawns and gardens, are rows of stone or brick houses and towering apartments. Moreover, on the Shore Road there are no noxious odors from New Jersey factories. "Twenty-one of the lots we are to sell front on the Shore road and arc located at a point where the view- is really magnificent. The Shore road is paved, has all city improvements and Is under the control of the Park Department.

On Fourth avenue, opposite a number of the lots, is another city park. "The Gelston homestead, nt the corner of Shore road and Third avenue Is Included in the sale. This mansion is three stories in height and is constructed of brick. It is In good structural condition and at comparatively small expense, can be renovated and modernized. "Scattered on other parts of the property, but back from Shore road! are four old frame houses, located as follows-: On 100lh street, near Third avenue: on Ninety-ninth street, between Third and Fourth avenues; on the northerly corner of Fourth and Marine avenues, and on the wcsterlv corner of Fourth avenue and 100th treet.

"Business lots on Fourth avenue, directly at the terminus of the Third avenue and Fifth avenue trolley lines, are included In the sale. The balance of the lots are located on Third and Marine avenues. Ninetv-sevcnth Ninety-ninth, 100th and 101st streets." BULLETIN OF APPEALS Building Zone Matters to Be Heard Next Tuesday.

WflrM Ufl 1AA rLJili Board of Brokers Seek Co-operation of City Officials on Tax Problems and Budget. AHSOI.ITK NEKD OF 1XOXOMV. Beck Xrw Kourccs of Revenue Id He- Hoavv Rurdcn of Ta.ulion. Mayor Hylan has received from the Real Kstate Hoard of Xew Vm the i following letter in reply to his invi- tation for co-operation by way of siig-gestion or criticism of his adiuinistra- tion or any of the departments uimti his jurisdiction: The Keal Estate Board of New Yorks bees to acknowledge receipt of yours of the 1st instant, addressed to the president of the board, inviting its co-operation by way of suggestion or criticism of your administration or any of the departments under your jurisdiction. 'It has been the policy of this board for a number of years past to present to the administration, or individual members of it, from time to time, criticisms or suggestions meant to be helpful both to the city and to the taxpayers.

the Keal Kstate Board is gratified to know that it is now specifically invited to co-operate with vour administration in working out the very grave problems which confront the administration and the taxpayers of New York City. It is, of course, quite impossible to take ud seriously, in a single letter, the current problems of the city gov- ernment. This noaru proposes num time to time to make such suggestions or criticisms as you have invited on various phases of the city administration as they may affect real estate. "In the meantime we call your attention briefly to certain outstanding tacts in which taxpayers now, more than ever, are profoundly concerned. These are: "1.

The absolute necessity for the most rigid economy in view of the condition of the city's finances. The 1918 city budget of J238. 000,000 necessitates a tux rate so high as not only to be of grave burden to real estate owners but to make it impossible for many of them to pay their taxes. This Is a serious matter Tor the city; and unless the most rigid economy is exercised the budget of 1919 will exceed that cf 1918 by several millions ol dollars. 2.

If the tax rate is materially increased in 1919 it will at least reach Btyl perhaps pass beyond the constitutional limit of 2 per cent, ex-: elusive of the debt service. You wiU uppreciate what a very serious situa- tion this would create. "3. It is absolutely necessary that the most careful attention should ho riven to the valuation of real estate i rni.i i I Inr me purpose or Taxation, mm necessary not only to avoid inequa'- ities as between properties of like value but to secure an equitable assessment in the aggregate of all properties in the It is a conviction among manv well-informed persons that such property is largely over-valued. This results not only in injustice to the taxpayers but in crettring a false conception of the value of the city's tax-1 It is improbable that new sources of revenue can be found from Which taxes in any large amount ca'V be secured, but It should be one of the first duties of the administration to reek out such sources and tt secure the tax derivable from them.

It has been demonstrated that a personalty tax as high as the real estate tax cannot be collected and it is; futile to try to collect it, but "6. The city administration should co-operate with the Keal Kstate Board in renewing its efforts, as it will do. i secure legislation lor a fixed ta. rate on real estate and for a tax on personalty low enougii to be collect- ible, but large enough to secure adequate revenue. "7.

There appears to be grave dan- per of the city drifting into a social-! istic policy. Signs ot this are already i apparent in the ice, food and salary increase campaigns now in progresi and the desire for municipal owner-; Fhip. It should be tne fluty of the if city administration to administer the jj functions of the city government im-1 partially to all citizt-ns and to pro-1 vide charity onlv for those who arv the legitimate objects of charity. 'These suggestions, which are to i be taken as tentatively indicating the: interest of the Keal Estate Hoard in this important matter, would be ap CONCRETE BUILDING ON SITE filicahle at linv tiTiirr but voti will realize their unusual importance now when thu country Is engaged in a World war which places abnormal blll'flenK mion dm nilivns.

The summer season at Brighton Beach may bo naid to have olllciallv started today with the opening of the new larkway Baths, the big fireproof building erected on the site I I i ings, many of them having been unoccupied for a long period. Similar maps, from surveys made by the committees of other boroughs of the city, are iii preparation. The Hrooklyu committee completed its work in record time, and is now giving its attention to assisting William P. Uae, president of the Hrooklvn Hoard of Heal Kstate Hrokers, in the work of supplying the Medical Hoard of the United States Army with information concerning buildings available for use as hospitals for wounded soldiers sent here from the battlefronts of Europe. While no buildings In this borough have actually been selected by the Government for hospital purposes, many have been examined.

The Government has supplied the committee with Reschedule of requirements for standard Army hospitals, and so far as is known completed buildings are required. The buildings accepted will be altered to comply with hospital As indicated in The Kagle by a number of prominent real estate men of this borough, as well as by Frank II. Quinby, the architect, the cost for necessary alterations will he enormous. In view of this fact, it has been suggested in interviews published in The Kagle that the Government use some of the large plots available in this borough and erect hospital buildings upon them similar to the structures at Ihe camps and cantonments, which structurally meet the standard Army tvpe. Mr.

yuinby pointed out that large tracts located in such sections as Sheepshead Bay, Coney Island and Hay Ridge, particularly in the Shore Itoad section, might be secured at a nominal rental as sites for hospital units. The committee which prepared the map consists of William Raymond Hurling, chairman; Frank H. Quinby, William J. Greenmnn, lxiuis Beer, M. ('.

How to regulate rents by public authority without confiscation of tho property has been found to be much more than a mere matter of figures or of argument. Problems of rent increases and of rent profiteering may have been more serious and were morej easily brought home to public officials in Washington than In any other part of the country. The situation in that city is thus summarized In a statement from the Advisory Council of Heal Kstute Interests: "The Congressional frame of mind as to the possibility ot controlling the rental situation in Washington Is most clearly indicated by describing its action on the various proposed remedies.

The House of llepresentatlves passed a bill to levy tax of 100 per cent, upon rentals which exceeded the rate chnrged September 80, lilld, plus 10 pel-cent. No attempt was nude to distinguish even between private houses, apartment buildings mid hotels, and during the hearings before the Senate committee It became evident that the date specified occurred while rents were unprofitably low, that the relative expense of carrying and managing the difterent clnsses of really must be rec-ognized, and thnt the increased cost of upkeep and operation was more than the percentage allowed. "The Senate thereupon discarded the House bill and adopted thu proposal of tho real estate Interests tor control nf profiteers by means of a leral Kent Administrator. The rents were to be standardized at 7 per rent, per annum, net, on a valuation to bo determined under principles laid down in the bill." CUTMAN SWAMP DRAINED 140-Acre Pest Bresding Tract Made Sanitary. Today the water is flowing tiii'ough the drain for the Gutman Swamp, situate in the Heud-of-Vlelgh region.

All Flushing people, and, in fact, all of Queens, will be glad to hear that the pest-breeding condition of the area is now a thing of the past. This swamp has been in the minds of the people of this territory for a number of Previous to the Civil War, farmers in the locality considered the proposition of taking the ditch across the higher land in the neighborhood of the Peter Meeker property, so that the water could flow on diiwn Into Flushing Meadows; thence into Flushing Creek. It was abandoned because a right-of-way for thg ditch could not be obtained, and owing also to the considerable expense which would be entailed. About this, time the swamp wan used as a means of obtaining peat as a substitute for coal, and the swamp was then known ns "Peat Bog it was also known as tho "Old Crow Swamp," because it was Ihe favorite roosting place for myriads of crows especially in winter time. It covers an area of about 140 acres, and drains approximately 600 acres.

It. is at an elevation of over 60 feet above the sea level, and the only reason It contains this water is due to its basln-liko form. Tho Flushing Association and NEW HOME OF NINTH A. The lirooklyn committee working with, the group of men of Greater New York in the service of supplying the Government with information regarding vacancies in houses, warehouses and factory buildings for the purpose of solving the problem of taking care of the munition workers and those having contracts for war work, has prepared a very comprehensive map, resulting from a complete survey of this borough. The vacancies indicated on the map shown upon this page might at first sight indicate a large amount of available fpace, but when the great area covered is taken into consideration, together with the fact that these vacancies in the case of homes is a small percentage of the 180,000 buildings in Hrooklvn userl for owel intr nurnoses and of this number there are 100.000 multi-family houses the vacancies are comparatively few.
