preciation in land values in that locality, which is due primarily
to the improved transit facilities affecting the district.

J. Clarence Davies, who owms the northwest corner of 3d av
and 149th st, 2,000 sq. ft., is in receipt of an income of between
$S,000 and $9,000 per annum on a 5 years' lease from the two
stores in that building, and the ■stores at the southeast corner
of 3d av and 149th st, occupied by tbe United Cigars Stores Co.,





brings in a rental of $15,000 a year. It is known that 'many
leases in that' vicinity which as yet have some tirae to run,
could, if terminated now, be renewed at almost double the old
rate. These facts speak for themselves, .and brokers in the
Bronx say they should be sufflcient to dispel doubt with respect
to the justification of present values in tliat busy section of
the Bronx.
