About two years ago, sorri after the announce

Inland property which could hav« bt-tn bought
Rboui two rears a^o for ?I.<lX> or les.« an acre
has recently been *o]d for moie than ?.'i/H>o an
sere, one realty broker rattmatna that Long
Island property valued at from $35,000,000 to
$45.<KX>jQ0O las changed hands within the last
two years, and some »jf the parcels have be.en
cold over and over again. As a Wit of this
constantly Increasing demand for lyjng Island
B'reage. record prices for land have been made
which n*W realty operators on Long Island ever
thought would be made in their day.
It Is not so many years ago that the expres
sion was frequently heard. "Long Island owners
are quick to b»-11. but buyers are slow t<> t;-k<"
This 'Tpression has almost been forgotten. The
'-ayir.g is now often hsard. "Fortoaate is the
parson who owns an acre on Long Island." Yes.
fonunat.- indeed is the person with an acre or
more land in the boom cenm-s of Lona; Island.
Borne of the operators in their eagerness to ac
-4Ulre Long Island acreage in the boom centres
bought larca tracts of marshy land and paid a
high price for them. They havt begun to sell this
land to Th- lmio homese.-kers at ir .ore than
double what they paid for it. It is a certainty
ilia* It will be some years before th* land is
drained and filled Id and many houses are built
in it. There are many other large tracta of
marshy land on Long Island la be subdivided
into plot* and I ots j n lne cvm i ng vear, and the
perbons that buy these plot* and lots arUI prob
ably have to vait a iong time to obtain a fair
profit from the lnve»tment unless they are ex
pert growers of vegetation that flourishes in
s^ggy places.
Bui meat of the lar.d in the boom centres of
L(On Island is dry and cleared and ready for
the home.M-'K.: . T. tell wet land from dry

blindly In purchasing, the little buyer should
remember these things: A s.jtiar.- ;icre Is
I>>s7-I<> feet on each side, and that '_':.'<• feet by
r.is feet, 44<> feet by w r. •. 110 feet by BG9

feet each e<jual one-half acre. A Long Island
lot is usuall) 'A*xloo feel An acre divided into
30x100 lots comprlfc< tweity-one lots.
A private dwelling erected within the citv
limits must not cover more than I*o per cent of
the lot area. A tenement house must not cover
more than B0 per cent of s corner lot, or more
than 70 per cent of an inside lot.
Buy. if poaslble, a plot with not lees than
thirty-five foot frontage and a depth of one
hundred feet.
Do not sign any contract unless it agree? to
deliver title free and clear and guaranteed free
of any Incumbrance when the purchase price is
paid.
Do not buy a lot or plot forming part of a
large tract offered for salo in lots or plots to
home seekers not restrictei as to the minimum
cost of buildings to be erected and not protected
against nuisances. The dete of the expiration
of the restrictions should be clearly eet forth.
and the restrictions over the entire plot phould
be uniform.
Buy in the same tract a lot or plot which may
re used for business purpoaes. The business
lots of most tract? offered for ;=ale are often
held by the owner <-f the tra<n. When the tract
is» »-iUiIT up h^> controls the business streets of
the settlement, and usually uses his power in a
way not pleasing to the owners of home plots.
The realty progress of many places ha* aen re
tarded because om 1 person controlled the busi
aess plots of the town.
Do not improve your plot until you can do so
without mortgaging your property too heavily.
Do not buy itside of the boom centrea of
the island unless you have had considerable real
esjate experience.
Carefully study real values.
Keep close to the transit li'i^s.
And above si'l do not buy unless you can
sell at an advance, if you desir<\ within a rea
sonable time. These are some of the principal
points to be remembered by any one who desires
to buy profitably F-onp Island real estate.

Important Purchasing Movements
on East iSide.
The realty transactions affecting Manhattan

clearly Indicated a big demand for parrels In

plans for enlarging the third rail system of th-
Long Island Railroad win be carried out The
third rail system of the Long Island Railroad
comprises at present ninety-six miles of single
track, over which 172 scheduled trains run
daily The accompanying map shows the pres

Ralph Peters, president of the railroad It
shows the Inaccuracy of many reporte recently
printed regarding the plans of the railroad To
enlarge Its third rail system
according to on© of these false reports, which
many real estate men considered accurate, fifty
miles at least of the Port Jt-fferson and Wading
Hirer division and about ne came number of

Of this third rail system. Moreover, one of th»
r^-al estate brokers who were waiting yesterday
In the Long Island station at Long] Island Cltv
to take prospective buyera out on the island to
s"e me of the tracts offered iri plots and lots
for nale had an Idea until yesterday that the
motive power of the trains running between
Long Island City and Central isliD was to i>*
changed * from steam to electric In the near
future. "About three months ago I was one of
S p;irty of real estate men who mad.- a Ion::
trip on Long Island Inspecting a lar?e rumber
of farm tracts fifty miles or more from Lon«
Island City." *a!d the re-il csta"» broker to a
Tribune reporter. "One of the member ■ of th-
ISLAM' ELECTRU PfANS
party told us he knew all about the plans of th«
Long Island for ndding to its third rail «ysterr>
He told us that electric trains would soon be
running to Islip on the aoutfe stiore. ro Central
Isitp on the main line and to Smithtown or
the north fhor". Thinking he knew what he
wa^ talking about we formed a syndicate and
bought a farm of about one hundred acre?,
which is at least forty llea from Long Island
City. Thoush we have not taken rttle we hav-»
been selling parcels of th< tract to people look
ing for summer home sites on the island, and
v. e ired mod of the buyers on the strength
of our assertions that electric trains would be
running to the tract within a year or two. I
am sorry we ere led into buying because of
this fals;^ statement of ore of our number.
and. moreover, doubly sorry- because ve aecured
many am all buyers by telling then; that electric
trains, to th'- tract in the near future were a
certainty. Juat a little while ago I learned
how false were niy ideas about th-* third ra.l
system plans of the Long Island Kailroai " Tl
i>-n! rstate hr->ker added that many owners or
tracts near the on.- controlled by his syndicate
« v veii imagined that the entrre system of the
Long Island RallrtMd was to he chanced from
ste^m to electric • rhtn n f. « years.
