Property developers all over the bor ough aro urging the city to take title as soon as possible to the extra prop erty to bs taken for widening the ave nue to "00 feet for Its entire length, ex cept a short section between Union turnpike and Hillside avenue, Jamaica. The city has already taken title to tho first two.

It is expected that the condemnation proceedings will bo entirely completed by January 1 next.

There has been some delay caused by a change, In the louto east of Elinhutst, but thai is settled. The rule map has been adopted for the entire length. The condemnation commissioners have held to date over one hundred meetings, and the total claims before the commission amount to over J.i.OOO.OUO. When this boulevard is finished It will be one of the finest highways of the world, and will compare favorably with the famous boulevards of Paris, Vienna and Berlin, Eastern Parkway and Ocean avenue in Brooklyn, and the Grand Concourse in the Bronx and Ulverside Drive in Manhattan. It will be a great automobile way from Manhattan not only to Queens Borough, but to all Long Island, for it will connect with broad avenues and parkways reaching cast- ward to Nassau County and southward to the Atlantic Ocean.

Over the first nilln of this boulevard an ornamental concrete structure Is nearly completed for the elevated railway, upon which will be operated the trains of the 'fflial subway system of New irons. It is expected that the class of build lngs that will be constructed for the greater portion of this great parkway will be high-class npartment resiliences and hotels. The class of construction helntr carried out by the Sage Founda tion Homes Company and tho Cord Mever Company and the clubhouse nnd grounds of the West Side Tennis Club have given an atmospnere to tnai sec tion that will be in keeping with the splendid character of the boulevard. It Is said that consiueranie amounts ot capital are ready for investment in high-class apnrtment buildings along both sides of this magnificent highway as soon as the actual work of Improvement is begun.

'One, Not Many, Masters," Is Pointed Out as Logical Solution to Big Problem. Eagle Buret) itoe, i-ourteenth Street. Washington, June 13 Federal char- tera for railroads, analogous to national bank charters, will become an accomplished fact. In the opinion of many members of Congress. The recent decision of the Tinted states Supreme Court, handed down by Justice Hughes in the so-called shrrteport rate case, has emphasized that tendency.

Among other things, Justice Hughes declared that the time had come for coinplet recognition of the principle that railroads doing an Interstate business shouM "have one, not ninny, masters Time and again In the hearings that were held on the bill for Federal regulation of railroad securities, witnesses and members of Congress alike hinted at the desirability of Federal railroad charters These suggestions came from Republicans and Democrats, as well as from pronilment railroad men. Nor were they conllned either to radical or conservative advocates of railroad regulation. For Instance, men like Senator Brandegi-e of Connecticut, who may be considered a conservative on carriers, and Senator Cummins of Iowa, a well known radical exponent of such regulation, gave free expression to the view that railroads should bo incorporated under Federal charters. A. 11.

Harris, general counsel for the New York Centrsl Railroad, urged tho ilesiniliilll of Federal railroad charters In his tesllmony before both House and Senato committers on interstate Commerce dining tho committee discussions of the securities 0111. Present Situation Incongruous, Declares A. H. Harris. "Tho existence of a corporation organized under tho laws of different States," he told tho committees, "one corporation having charters from hulf a dozen states, is incongruous." Representative Knowland of California, him if Federal control would not ho, preferable.

"1 'ndoubtedly It would," said Mr. Harris, "and I should wekomo a plan 'egulatlon the Issuance of securities could be put Into tho hands ol the I-edeni I iovei iiinent The way It should be done, in my opinion, is by providing fur Federal Incorporation of railroads. Wo should have Federal railroads Just ns wo have Federal hanks. This rcguintlon by Hie Federal Government of corporations jvhlch it does not create is anomalous." Senator Cummins said to-day that agreed with the statement that there should be Federal charters for common carriers doing nn Intersluto business, It Is understood that he Is engaged just now In drafting a bill for that purpose, lie believes, however, thnt there should be compulsory, not voluntary. Federal Incorporation.

"i'ho very thing that the railroads now complain of," said Senator Cummins, "Is lack of uniformity In the control of their business. That Is their reason, or one of them, for suggesting Incorporation. Voluntary In corporation would result In confusion, ns not nil railroads would come in, s4 that I think It should be made compul. sory for the suke of uniformity." Senator Cummins said very frankly that there were some very complex fitlVwi. wl.ic-h would require careful ami exhaustive study.

Many Lawyers Unwilling for Federal Incorporation. "While I might be willing to go to tho extent necessary to make Fi.iaral Incorporation practicable," said the Senator, "there are a good many lawyer who nro not willing to do so. This question arises: Can a railrond organized under a State law transfer lis physical property to a Federal system, without Mm consent of the sovereignty: that Is, the State that created It? He-hind that lies the question of power. "There are two methods by which It could bo tlone. fine Is by a voluntary transfer.

The other Is by eoiideinntitloii proceedings. Condemnation Is a. process so complicated and Involves much delay that I have never thought It would be practicable, fin the question of transfer, the Issue of the right of the States comes up. It seems to mo that th" Government could give ft railroad corporation the authority to take out a Federal cliurter, notwithstanding the objection a Slule might make." Senator Newlands has a modified plan for national Incorporation of railroads. He believes, however, In Joint control hv Stale ami Federal ii lit hurl' so that there would be two soveielgn-I ties of equal rank and power.

His theory seems to have been enlirely get asld" by lite recent decision of Justleo Hughes In the Shreveport cast. President Wilson has been so persistent tu bis deslt-i, to nsserl Federal authority that many believe his next step In the regulation of railroads will be to advocate their Incorporation by the Federal Govei anient.

Lancaster, Who Purchased Property Twenty Years Ago, Talks About Big Sale. Fred J. Lancaster, who twenty year ago bought the 100 acres of hore-front property on the Kocka-way coast, between the ocean and Jamaica Kay, now known as Edge-mere, laid out that community and developed It Into the attractive seaside home section It is today, is about close out his holdings there in a final auction sale to be held on the property next Saturday, with Bryan Kennelly as the auctioneer. In the years Mr. Lancaster has owned Edgemere, he has changed it from a serUs of sand dunes, lacking even roads into an all-year residential place, with all surface and subsurface Improvements, one of the largest hotels along the coast, as well a number of smaller hotels, more than 200 residences, stores and a population of from 7,000 to 8,000 people.

Starting with the Edgemere Club Hotel and a few cottages in 1895, the section litis steadily grown and spread until today it forms a built-up connection between Arverne and Ear ltockaway in that closely settled section of the RocUaway peninsula, of the 100 acres in the original plot on which Edgemere was built, there is room loft for about fifty boused. Physical Improvements costing several millions of dollars, have been made and the property has passed from the development state into an Important, part of New York City. Mr. Lancaster has used methods In building Edgemere decidedly differ ent from those employed in develop ment work. Tho entire property has been subdivided and sold through the medium of auction sales, and all the buildings, except those originally put up to start the section, are on land sold to individuals at these sales.

"I held my first sale in 1895." said Mr. Lancaster yesterday, "and buyers from that day to this have never lost money at Edgemere. Property down there is the best paying Investment know. Buyers at that first sale paid for the best located lots in the property, about one-half what I consider each of the remaining lots worth, and If they wanted to sell, they always could do so at substantial profit. Many, however, have built homes on their property, and will not sell at any price.

Some of those lots to day are worth more than some lots on Broadway In Manhattan. Mr. Lancaster was asked why he sold his propei ty If It was such a good Investment. He replied that bis dum ness is the development and sale of land; that be is a wholesale dealer or manufacturer. Like other manufacturers and dealers, he has to keep his stock moving to make money for himself, and that to hold his property in definitely would mean that be would have to close up shop.

He said he hoped for a large crowd ae the sale, and good prices, but that if conditions were such that he could get only low prices, he would have to accept them without question. "I do believe, however, that the small investor realize seashore conditions," Mr. Lancaster continued, "and will bid what property at Edgemere is worth, despite the dulness elsewhere In the realty market. In the last twenty years have seen available shore front prop erty reduced from what seemed an al most unlimited supply, to practically nothing. Twenty years ugo the whole Rockaway shore was a vacant stretch of land, but today there is not a mile of water front along the coast that Is not thickly settled and constantly im proving In value.

I do not know of a foreclosure along the shore, and I be lleve that as soon as restrictions are removed which compel the Improve ment of property with dwellings, prop crty values will take a leap that will place them ahead of value In most other parts of the city. Edgemere and the Kocknway coast will be like At lantic City, with values Just as high. Mr. Lancaster gave as tho principal reason for looking on Edgemere property as an excellent investment tho fact thul houses there are always rent able at high rates. He pointed to sev eral cases of property costing about 13,000.

and Improved with dwellings posting; about 17,000 that rented during the summer months for $1,800 to 82.0O0. During the other nine month som of the houses aro occupied by their own ers. He suggested that the return Irum the property to be sold on Saturday could be mode even greater, for being lower priced lund It can be Improved with bungalows costing about which rnn he rented at jCM) to $700 for the summer stnscn. The trnct to be sold comprises 181 lots in the liny section of Edgemere, beginning right next to the Edgemere station, nnd three blocks from tho oceitn beach. Five attractive cottages ready for tenants will also be sold.

Several methods for paying for lots have been arranged, Including that of monthly Installments. WHO WROTE THE BIBLE.
