Balnbridge to Miller for Occupancy. One Mile of Bulkhead. The Degnon Realty and Terminal Company and tho Flushing Bay Development Company are allied corporations, the former owning 3,500 city lots on the Corona Meadows with a frontage of over a mile, comprising the entire southerly trout of Flushing Bay and on Flushing Creek, and the lultcr a tract of 5,000 lots adjoining the southerly boundary of the Degnon tract, and with an extensive frontage on the weet side of Flushing Creek, are planning one of the biggc-Bi ikv manufacturing developments ever undertaken within the territory of the City of New York. The actual work of development is waiting the beginning of the operations of the Federal Government, which appropriated, on March 4 last, $235,600 for dredging the bay and the creek up to the Main street bridge of the Long Island Hallroad, to a width of 100 feet and depth of 11 feet at mean low tide. The! Degnon Company, whose property extends along the entire shore front section of the proposed improvement, ba- entered into a written agreement with the Federal authorities to build a substantial bulkhead along their premised at an estimated cost of $500,000.

Work will be begun this summer on both projects, and will ba pushed actively. The entire tract has' been filled In where necessary, and it is over 11 teet wiua Bbove mean high water In all The Flushing Bay Improvement Company's big tract is being filled In with Brooklyn ashes at the rate of twenty- live carloads per day, and is being raised twelve or fifteen feet above high tide. The creek will eventually be dredged and lulkheaded ull along the front ot this property to a width of 100 feet and a depth of eleven or twelve feet at niea.i low water. The Degnon Company sold to the Long Island Railroad Company a strip of 250 teet in width and three-quarters of a mile In length along the tracks of the "Whitestone Branch, for a big freight yard. Street System Modified to Meet Com- mercial Needs The engineers of the Board of Esti- 1 HIGHWAY PLAN APPROVED Proposed Improvement Pleases Brokers and Builders.

A number of real estate operators, property owners and builders on Long Island have expressed the opinion that the decision of the Board of Supervisors of Nassau County, Long Island, a few days ago, to issue $500,000 worth of bonds to pay for the proposed plan of improving the general highway system of this subdivision of the State, is one of the most auspicious features for tho attraction of newcomers to tho county since the Long Island Railroad Company electrified Its line through Floral Garden City and Hempstead and Its line through Oceanslde and East Rockaway to Long Beach. Since Long Beach has been niRde more accessible by rapid rail connections with New York City, millions of dollars of assessed valuations have been added to the township of Hempstead, within which the well-known ocean front resort Is situated. Of the total sum appropriated for road Improvement, $250,000 of it will bo used within tho township of Hempstead, while the remainder will be divided between the townships of North Hempstead and Oyster Bay. The last mentioned township stretches across tho eastern end of Nassau County, while tho township of North Hempstead embraces tho. north shore from Great Neck to Port Washington and the Wheat ley section.

"The roads In the southern half of Nassau County are the most heavily traveled," said D. Mauler McLaughlin, recently, "and that accounts for the Board of Supervisors allotting one-half of the appropriation or bond Issue to the township of Hempstead. Tho total Issue is the largest the county lias ever made for highway improvements, and in some parte of the county old macadamized roads are badly In need of repair, while In other parts modern roads are needed. "The -level region of the county, in which Hempstead township is situated, extends from Garden City on the north to the Atlantic Ocean on the south, and from Valley Stream on the west to Sea-ford on the east. Within this suburban zone are the largest villages of Nassau Couuty.

The list ot commuters to these and adjacent communities is steadily enlarging. "The Merrick road, one of the famous automobile routes as well as the main artery of travel on the South Side, runs through the township of Hempstead. There are many Important adjuncts to It, such as the main road from Rockville Centre to Long Beach, and tho highway to Oceanslde and East Rockaway over-1 looking Hempstead and Hewlett bays. Then thero Is the road from Freeport to i Hempstead, which is in constant use. as well as part of the Jericho turnpike in Hempstead township.

All of ihese highways are the. direct means of acefss to many points and their perfect upkeep is TO BUILD AT WESTERLY, R. I. A plot of ground 60x100 feet, on Henry street, Westbury Manor, L. has been sold by the Westbury Manor Company to Henry Ackermenn.

I Out for Large Plants to Cost German Steel Works to Oc 1 It is proposed to develop this Uril tory with concerns requiring land, say from Ave to twenty-five acre tracts such as could not accommodated in the limited area of the uegnon company terminal at uuug island City on Dutch Kills Creek. The company could have sold 150 acres to one of the biggest railroad locomotive plants In the world, but to hav-i done so would have so divided the tract as to have spoiled the rest of It for other industrial plants. It has, however, had numerous demands for smaller tracts for foundries, large woodworking plants, electric material manufactures street railway car-BuiiaT3, and one Dig uerman steel plant that has taken lif- toen ai'rps will spend a large amount for buildings and employ hundreds of skilled hnnas. Mammoth Drainage Flans. The Queens Borough authorities have planned tho big Corona sewer main inrougn Fifty-first street that will uro- vlde for the drainage of this entire district.

The cost of the svKtoni will be $1, 500,000. and in connection with the Forty-third street mains to Flushing Buy to cost over $250,000 will car for both storm and soil drainage mid house sewage for about 7,300 acres. The contracts for the Fifty-first street main are to be given out In a few days: the Forty-third street outlet ii.to Flushing Bay Is under construction. There will be a number of lateral mains built over the entire 650 atves of the two development companies to connect with the above named big mains. The drawing cards used by the two lig companies In canvassing for manufactures is the direct connection with the Pennsylvania Railroad system and the large stretch of improved waterfront, making it possible to do away with cartage by drays, and doing away with a large amount of manual labor which it is said would more than pay the entire rent of an establishment where such facilities do not exist.

Work Begun on -Long Island City Terminal. The Degnon Terminal Company Is now at work on the Improvement of its Dutch Kills Terminal, comprising twenty-five or thirty blocks on Dutch Kills Creek, near Newtown Creek. It has already laid permanent standard gauge tracks from the head of Its canal into the basement of the Loose-Wile Biscuit Company's mam- raoln piaiu, anu nas two mnes ot other (standard gauge tracks completed. It will altogether about eight miles of ter- The Long Island RRllrond Company has built an elevated line with masonry abutments over highway and embankments, between, over Borden avenue, Third and Fourth streets, and Hunter's Point avenue Into the Degnon yard, giving a physical connection between all the manufacturing plants in that yard and the Long Island Railroad freight line at Meadow and Plerson streets. There is 2,400 feet of bulkheaded water front, with 17 feet depth of water In the canal, all Improved by the Degnon Company, and a basin ot the head of the canal 600 feet by 150 feet, ample room for boats to turn around.

There Is an average now of ten boats daily unloading building material and supplies in this basin. There la also received from the railroad a dozen- carloads of building material and other supplies per day. When the terminal is in full operation it will have a capacity for handling from 400 to 600 carloads of freight per day. The Loose-Wiles Biscuit Company will use an average of 20 carloads of flour and other supplies. The entire plant will represent in building and machinery the floor space over 20 acres.

They lease the building for thirty years from the Queens Place Realty Company, which furnishes the capital to put up the building, at a total rental for that period of $6,000,000. Several other big Industries of similar character-have drawn plans for big. structures, and Mr. Degnon says that in the next Ave to ten years from to $50,000,000 will be expended in Industrial plants on the property. Upon the opening of the Belmont Terminal, tho Terminal Building Company is to erect a six-story office structure, 200 feet by 300 feet, at Fourth street and Van Alst avenue, only a little over a block away from the Degnon Terminal.

Three floors will be rented to the City of New York for the various borough departments. The foundations are already built, and the superstructure will be.started as soon as work Is started on the completion ot the Belmont Terminal, trains of which will run through the basement of the structure. They Object to Assessments! Levied for Local Improvements. HARDSHIP ON SMALL OWNER. But City Official Declares That Benefit Exceeds the Price Paid, and Gives Figures.

Many complaints have been heard from property owners about the assessments levied for locnl Improvements. It is admitted by realty men that it often proves a hardship, especially if the properly owner assessed falls to see any immediate benefit from the proceedings, lu sec- llnn. urh.p. ctl-Aatn ATA likplv tn be opened or paved, it Is said that there is often an objection raised on the ground that the improvement only helps the: property closest to the streets affected. Discussing this matter today, Edward Riegelmi-iin, assistant corporation counsel.

cbarze of the Bureau of Street! Openings, said: "It Is interesting- to note the attitude of real estate owners toward local improvements. Frequently property owners object to assessments levied for local lTiim.nvam.nf9 uKn In tho first Ini- petus toward firm and substantial valuations comes from local improvements, tate valuations far exceeds the cost of the improvements. "It sometimes occurs that the local improvements to which the property owners object most strenuously result In the greatest improvement to the property, auected. Eastern Parkway Section Cited. "An instance of this kind may be cited In the proceeding to open Union street, from Washington avenue to Bedford avenue, and from Rochester avenue to New vV-k avnue: President Itreet.

from Claeson avenue to Bedford avenue; Car-run sued, Horn Wasington avenuo to Albany avenue, and Crcwn street, from Washington avenue to Albany avenue, which wa3 recently presented to tne court for confirmation. "Strenuous objections were made by numerous attorne5'3 to the eocilrmation cf this report, yet the facts show that since the Inception of this proceeding this territory, which previous to the pro-uosed Improvement was a barren waste, has become one of the most active sections of the borough. "Since the Inception of this proceeding plans have been filed or buildings have been erected involving an expenditure of about $340,000 on Union street, and although there has been very little building on President street or Carroll street, the new' buildings erected and planned aggregated about and on Crown street aproxlmately $100,000, making a total on tho four streets of $1,332,000. "With this tremendous increase In the values of buildings It Is reasonable to assume that there has also been an increase in land, values although this may not be as readily determined, but assuming to be about $500,000, we would have an increase in real estate valuation of approximately $2,000,000, when the entire cost of the Improvement was approximately $100,000. It would indicate with such a gigantic increase In value that the Improvement was fully Justified, and It would be hard to consider th cost of the proceeding excessive, considering the proportion between the increase in value, and the cost of the proceeding."
