Brown Interests OCTOBER PLANS This Large Apartment Structure Has Replaced Fine Old Private Home in Ridge Boulevard Block Rapid Growth Shown At Freeport-Merrick Real es'ate conditions at the Free-port-Mcrrick Estates are flourishing. In this locality there has been an unusually strong demand for' residences on the part of home seekers and builders generally.

The community, which has been developed by Realty Associates, is less than three years old, and In that brief period more than 115 houses have already been built and are occupied by the owners. Home buyers have been attracted to Freeport-Merrick Estates for many reasons, among the outstanding being its distinctive architecture-each home being of individual type-In addition to the fact that they contain all of the latest approved theories of construction, design and equipment, i During the pa it summer a yacht club was formed by the residents and within a short time construction work on the erection of a modern clubhouse on the property fronting Great South Bay will get under way. Wtv La A VJl A rml PM ffim nun ileal 4 lit sue mriEim locality is the multi-family structure in Ridge between Senator and 68th built by the Kings Boro Realty Company on the site of one of the most picturesque of the old homesteads. The new building will accommodate 125 families where one family lived before. Many attractive-looking old private residences along Ridge one of the finest thoroughfares in the city, have been demolished in the past few years to make way for apartment house developments which are steadily invading this once exclusive neighborhood of Bay Ridge, Among the most recent operations in the OF IL SECT Voters in One Kings Highway District Increased From 9 to 1,245 in Two Years.

By VINCENT It. KIRK. The rapid growth ot population In the new residential sections of Flatbush Is reflected In the registration figures this year. In the single district, for Instance, bounded by Avenue V. E.

24th Avenue and No trand ave. there were only nine registered In 1926. The registration books of that locality show that there are 1,245 voters today. It is safe to assumt that the new population la made up of persons who have purchased homes since last fall. In no other section of flatbush has home building prog, ressed so rapidly.

In no other part of the city has ther ebeen greater homcbuying activity In the past year and Its future growth, in the opinion of former Senator William M. Calder. who has built more than 400 houses in the district, will be accelerated by the interest being displayed by its citizens in the local candidates for public office. Less than a decade ago a large part of the area along Gerritsen between Kings Highway and Avenue was vacant land, some of It under cultivation, with dwellings widely separated and tew paved roadways. Great Growth of Community.

A person who had not been In the section In ten years, or say five years, would be astounded at the transformation if he were to travel througa the locality today. He would see hun dreds of one and two-family brlrlt dwellings, business blocks, well paved streets brilliantly lighted, stores occupied by prominent chain store es tablishmcnts. a community spirit and an aspect of prosperity everywhere. Churches of every denomination, modern school buildings and a large theater are convenient to this new and growing district. The development of this section ot the boro has been almost entirely by the speculative builder and in the main his work has been of the highest order.

He has built homes for people of moderate means the wage earner and in many instances the builder has helped to solve the problem of financing them. Demand for More Homes Grows, The demand for more homes in this section, resulting from the plans for the extension of the rapid transit lines, and the increasing Interest of home buyers in neighborhoods wnere trees abound and children can play on the streets amid healthy and sate surroundings is steadily Increasing. Zoning regulations wisely applied to the district safeguard the property owners against invasion ot undesirable buildings. The builders operating in the district are men who are deeply interested in the welfare of the community, for most of them startea their developments on large tracts ol land and have depended upon the good will and satisfied buyer to encourage others to move Into the neighborhood. Builders ODeratine in this district have learned that it pays to produce a well-constructed house and to be known as a reputable builder who will give his personal attention to details in its construction and equipment.

Transit Big Aid to Growth. In the early stages of development the residents of the locality between Avenue and Avenue were Inconvenienced by the transit situation. Up to within about a year ago, the Nostrand ave. trolley line which connects with the subway at Flatbush ave. and Nostrand ave.

terminated at Avenue and people living in the area north of the terminal had 1o walk some distance to their homes. As a result of the activity of the builders in the locality, the railroad company extended the Nostrand ave. line to Avenue U. The one thing1 lacking now to fill up the land gaps In the district is a subway line which doubtless will come in time. Along the avenues where business is permitted there is a steady growth of shopping blocks.

A large plot near the extended trolley line has been purchased by a group of men who intend to build a theater of the most modern type, and plans are under way for a building In the same neighborhood to be used as a community center, and which will help to develop civic pride among the property owners interested in the improvement and the advancement of the district People who own homes become in quisitive about taxation, public Improvements and the like. They usually vote on Election Day and become agitated when they see waste in municipal funds. They are no longer rent payers who leave the problem of taxation to the landlord. MORTGAGES PLACED. H.
