—With the exception of 1906 the real estate transactions in the
Borough of Queens have been greater than ever before. More
than 30,000 transfers and mortgages have alr.eady been re-
corded with the County Clerk, with many eleventli hour filings
still to be placed on record. It is interesting to note that for
the year just closing there have been a larger number of small
transactions recorded than previously, indicating that many of
the new owners of realty in that zone have purchased on the
instalment pĩan, A large percentage of the recorded mortgages
represent loans for constructing dwelHngs on many of the
recent subdivisions throughout that borough, although not a
few were for loans on tenements and businesa buildings.
