PI.EDOED TO A (V Chat of the Mana.uch Miller, president of the liatlonal Title Guaranty was one of the happiest men In the city Thursday when he greeted his quests In the handsome new Jamaica home of the title company, the tallest building In Querni, located in Jamalra ave. near 160th st. Mr. Manawrh Millrr. Miller has watched tlta progreu ct the enterprise since Its Inception.

He congratulated the staff at a luncheon given at the opening ceremonies and referred with pride to the proRrf made by the. company tn Queens since the tint Jamalra omra was opened in The Achievement Cup that awarded Ine Building Managers and Owners A.soclat!ort of New at the recent convention of the National Awoctatinn ff Bulldln Owners and Managers In 8U lxula. ON QUEENS SEWERS DURING LAST YEAR Real Estate Has Benefited Greatly by City Appropriations, Says V. H. Vreeland.

During the past five years has been appropriated for sewer building In the various sections of the boro of Queens, according to a statement issued by V. H. Vreeland, president of the Long Island Real Estate Board. Sewer building funds authorized during the five-year period were allotted according to figures obtained trom the office of the Boro President as follows: 1923 $4,509,250 1924 3,435,100 1925 8,919,000 192B 6,104.500 1927 6,519.300 "With almost six millions of dollars spent annually on sewer con- structlon in Queens during this five year period the statement reads, "real estate tn the boro has bern benefited greatly. As Queens is the largest boro In the city In area, in all probability another 000.000 will provide further improve ments of this kind to tnousancis wno are buying homes or property In Queens.

The opportunity to own a home and gain the benefit of the rise in real estate values so commonly moving upward on Long Island will attract millions more when the new Trt-Boro bridge and the Fast Rlver-Thlrty-eighth Street tunnel will have gotten under way." Again striking sharply at the exaggerated statements made In the past that many Queens home owners are losing their homes because of excessive sewer assessments. President Vreeland points to the statement recently made by Oscar W. Erlandsen. president of the Jamaica Chamber of Commerce, In which he said: "Ja maica and central Queens sewer assessments Is $18,500,000, whlrh Is scattered over 23.000 lots. This tax Is an average of $84 a lot and a reduction ot this amount Is practically assured." "Never In the history of Queens was the real estate situation In a sounder condition than it is today," Mr.

Vreeland's statement declares. "Increased transportation facilities snppjv the basis for a large part of this condition but much of the steady rise In values In Queens building sites end property may be attributed to the advantages arising from the large sums annually appropriated for improvements such as sewers, schools, highways and others." long Island City Transaction.

An enormous development of the business section, which will greatly accelerate Its growth. Mr. Baum said, was destined to take place with the removal of the elevated structure from Fulton a boro Improvement project which has been practically assured.

Fulton St. Conditions. Tulton st. present the singular anomaly of a street whose real estate values are the highest In the boro and the poorest buildings." he said. "The concentration of shopping on tins street has sent real cate values up tremendously, and it is utterly impossible for any new business to establish itself on Fulton st." Turning his thoughts away from Brooklyn as a commercial center of first magnitude.

Mr. Baum pointed to the enormous development of the boro as a city of homes. He called attention to the fact that whereas seven years ago there were no, or at best verv few. first-class elevator apartments In the entire boro. there are today large numbers of architecturally beautiful apartment houses of modern construction which are on a par, in comfort and convenience, with the best that have been erected in recent years on Park ave In Manhat tan Boro.

Community Development. 'Then there is the community de velopment." Mr. Baum said, the enormous number of single and two-family homes that Lave tven constructed during the psst few years within easy commuting distance from Boro Hall. These communities compare most favorably in scope and beiuty with slmlar developments In California, and th'lr duplication is imposMbie In any other part of New York." Peering Into the future a bit. Mr.

Baum said: "With all the concentration as a result of the transformation of Brooklyn's business section, there must con a svstem of co-operative rages in whlrh the department rnr nr! the theaters iniifht verv eil unite for the convenience of their patrons.
