INDEX TO THE RECORD AND GUIDE





Vol. XLVII.





JANUARY-----JUNE, INCLUSIVE.





1891.





The folloiving semi-annual Index of the Con¬
veyances and Projected Buildings in New York
City, as published in The Record ani> Guide
during the first half of 1891, will l>e found of great
, value to tlioso. of our subscribers who have pi'e-
served all the issues of this paper during that
period. Our usual care has been taken to keep
the Index up to the same perfect standard which
has characterized it in the past. The pages are
given on which all the transfers of realty pub¬
lished in Volume XLVII. can be found, and the
streets and avenues are so subdivided that few
references are required. For instance, transfers
of i>roperty on Allen street a]j]Dear in eight issues
during the si.-i mouths. Allen street in the Index
is subdivided into three parts, so that the least
possible trouble need bo incurred, provided it is
known between what streets the jn'opei-ty is lo¬
cated. In Ibis volume we have continued to ar-
, I'ango the transfers iu such a manner that every
street affected cau be soeu at a glance bj' turning
to the pages which the Index calls for. Take foi-
instance page 13 aud dud thcroou:

Broadway, Nos. 1671-1677 i begins.52dst,ns, 435.6
52d st. No. 337                    \     e Sth av, runs north

100.3 X cast 89.6 to w s Broadway,   x south  101

to 53d st, X west 100.3.

The above applies when a piece of property is
on the corner of any street or avenue aud nius
in depth upon both streets more than 100 feet, or
when a plot has buildings fronting on both
Streets, and also when the property begins on one





street and runs to another. Although manj' of
our subscribers have used the lode i for years,
some of them do not fully understand the com¬
pleteness of the work. We ai-e frequently told
of errors that our readers//im/f they have dis¬
covered, n-hich, upon investigation, prove to be
errors of the searcher—not of the Index. For in-
stauce, iu the curreut number appeal's the follow¬
ing : New .^t, from Wall st to Exchange pi, 303, 399.
919, the latter being the pages on which transfers
on said street may be found. Now, turning to
page 909, the average searcher would fail to find
the item referred to. because it does not appear
in the alphabetical order of streets, A close
search shows the item under the head of Broad¬
way, s e s, 33.5 u e Exchange pi, where a plot 35x
irreg., i-uuniug through to New st., is conveyed.
The Index is, therefore, iu some cases condemned
for a supposed omission which is really the strong¬
est evidence of the thoroughness with which it
has been compiled. Where such an omission
should occasionally seem apparent to the sub¬
scriber, he should search the «'hole jiage, and he
will then find the item which is referred to. The
Projected Buildings are indexed iu a similar man¬
ner, so that it cau realily be ascertained on what
streets improvements have been made. Thoie
wishing to keep a file for permauent reference
should see that all the numbers are complete and
have them bound. A suitable binder cau be ob¬
tained at the office of The Record and Guide,
14 and 16 Vesey street; price, one dollar.





Below \vill be found a table showiug the bound¬
ary lines of each of the thirteen Sections, and
under which all property is now indexed in the
Register's office by locality on new land maps of
New York Cicy, according to new law, which
went into effect Jan. 1, 1891:
