Evidence of a busy winter In the construction industry In this city la maicated by reports made public by the New York Bulldin Congress and the Copper and Brass Research Association during the past week and in editorial comment In the Record and Guide.

Winter Building. The movement to encourage winter construction by the Now York Build ing Congress, coupled with efforts of this organization to educate appren tlces in all crafts.

Is. receiving gen f.ral commendation from all Interests In the building line. It has been coll tlvely demonstrated that work undertaken now can be conducted at less cost than at any other period of the year, because there is always a aoft-onlng of labor and material expense tin the cold days apuroach. Builders are no longer apprehen slve of labor troubles, since the past ten months have been remarkably free of strikes and disputes. The walkout of the steel erectors last May did deter operations for five or six weeks, but the places of tne union men were gradually filled by the Iron League and in some instances thoxe mechanics who left their Jobs re turned to work when they realized that there was no hone of the recoij nltlon of their union by the league and less doss nllltv of the wage in crease that was demanded, although some general contractors.

It was re ported, conceded the extra money, In the material markets there has been no tendency to advance quotations. Manufacturing has been conducted on a more economical basis. with the supply of products meeting the demand. No shortages are heard of In any of the miilor lines. This Is particularly true of steel, brick and lumber.

Cement Js exceedingly active. All other commodities are nearer a normal basis, as fur ns prloe ts con eerned.i than they have been since the war.

When the members of the Na tional Association of Real Estate Boards gather in DeUoit next June for their annual oonventlon, they need not go very far from their headquarters to find a striking Instance of the way In which real estate valuea tncreaae. Manhattan Island may have been sold for 23 by the Indians, and perhaps bartered for an assortment of gaudy trinkets, but the record In cash real estate transactions must undoubtedly go to the plot of ground in this city which was onca bought lor one largo copper cent. The purchaser was Mary watson Hudson, a citizen of Detroit, who obtained a plot of ground in accordance with an act of Congress, which for a cash, consideration granted every resident a real estate holding, following the dlsasterous fire bf 1805 in which the thriving little city was virtually destroyed. If Mary atson Hudson could re turn to this city in the year 1924, street cars and automobiles and per haps an airplane overhead might be tiuite too much for her, but despite these wonders, she would have one remaining gasp of astonishment for i he moment when she first glimpsed ihe structure which now towers above every other building In De troit. For it la upon the same site which she obtained for a cent that there has been built the $14,000,000 Book- Cr.dlllac Hotel, the tallest hotel In the world, and with the largest number of rooms ot any hotel outside of New York City.

ASTORIA DEAL, MO0.00O. L. Plait lins sold 18 two. family dwellings for the Fradko Realty and Construction Cornora- tlon', located on 8th between l'otter and Dlt mars in tha Aa- torla section of f.ong Island Cltv. Phey were held at 1300.000 end There re few sections of the City Hat New York which have preserved their Individuality as choice residential areas to as great a degree aa that district In Die old Town of Newtown, known rs Kew Gardens, North Richmond Hill, Foreat Hllla and Forest Hills, Gardens.

Although there are considerable areas of undeveloped land In the old towns of Newtown and Flushing, adjacent to these charming colonies, the character of the section Is-so far fixed that there Is an assurance of the maintenance- of future high building standards within an extensive radius. This assurance will be strengthened by the completion of Queens Boulevard, now Under construction, planned to be the finest urban parkway In the world. This splendid thoroughfare, eight and a half miles In length, extending from Queens Uoro Bridge to HVlstde Jamai ca, Is already graded for Its entire length to a width of 200 feet from yueens Boro Bridge to Union Turn pike, and 160 feet from that high way to Hillside ave. Tha awards made to property owners amounting to over 14,000,000 have been paid and every encroachment has been removed with the exception of the trolley tracks whieft are now hold ing up further progress on the work. It is planned by the city officials to remove the tracks altogether and substitute busses, and if this ts not possible, to move the tracks to the center of the highway through the parked center.

This magnificent boulevard with its paved central highway 44 feet in width, two parking spaces adjacent, each 80 feet In width, two service roadways, each 28 feet in width, and two 30-foot sidewalks with or namental lampposts, and to be brll llantly lighted at night, will create Its Impress upon the character of the whole Forest Hills and Kew Gardens district through which it passes. It is asserted by experts that the logical development for the lots on both sides of this boulevard and cross streets adjacent to this parkway is high class apartment houses, with gardens In the Interior of the blocks similar to the development at Jackson Heights In Queens. These lands fronting this famous boule vard will be too expensive for pr. vate dwellings. Big Apartment at Kew Gardens.

An auspicious beginnlnr has been made at Kew Gardens where several big apartments have been built. planned to form a circle outside the colony of high-class private dwell ings, costing frem $200,000 to 1750, 000 each. There are 650 dwellings of this class in the Kew Gardens and North Richmond Hill sections. The land Is high and rolling, lending itself ad mirably to the plans of the landscape artist. The, place has been developed as a residential park.

Among the leading apartment buildings recently erected are the Kew Arlington and the Kew Ken sington, 4-story twin structures, containing 160 apartments; cost, oiio.
