DIXON. lOUAN D. rAIEOBILD; Pease & Elliman have been appointed agents for the new 14- sty co-operative studio huilding recently completeci at 44 West 77th st, one of the handsomest buildings on the West Side, and especially suited for artists wishing unobstructed light. It is opposite the Museum of Natural History and Manhattan Square Park. At the stand of Bryan T.. Kennelly on Thursday last the Allaire Hotel, a 3-sty structure located at the northwest corner of Union and Ocean avs. Spring Lake, N. J., was knocked down to Frank Stoors for $40,000. This building contains 103 rooms. The sale was by order of the executors of the estate of E. M. Richardson. Suit has been begun in the Supreme Court by the Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank against Joseph E. Schnugg, Mary Schnugg, and others to foreclose a mortgage of ?55,000 on the property at the northeast corner of 3d av and IGStli st, 176x 337.1x irregular, extending through to Fulton av. The mort¬ gage was made on May 27, 1908. Edward P. Clark, secretary of the City Investing Co., denies the rumor that there are negotiations under way for the sale of the southwest corner of Broadway and Dey st by that com¬ pany. The report current was that the Broadway Terminal Co. was the intending purchaser and contemplated the erection of a 20-sty structure on tho site. Joseph P. Day conducted on Saturday, Aug. 21, an auction sale of lots in the Armour Villa Park tract at Bronxville, West¬ chester County. It comprised 100 lots located on Eronxville road, Wiltshire and Wallace sts and W^illett pl. The entire offering was disposed of for about $25,000. The more desirable parts of the proijerty, along Bronxville road, brought about $500 a lot. Among the side streets the prices ranged from $210 to $400 a lot. Among the buyers w^ere Edward Hassett, T. Driscoll, J. M. Carroll. M. A. Broderick, Frank O. Burnett and Pompeo Chippa, Negotiations are said to be well advanced for the sale of Glen Island by the estate of John H. Starin to a syndicate headed by Max Marx, Glen Island was developed by the late Mr, Starin into one of the best known day resorts around New York, It was opened about. ISSO and was operated during the summer months up to about four years ago, when it was closed and placed on the market for aale. Although known as a single island, the property really consists of five small islands con¬ nected by bridges. Mr. Starin spent a large sum in beautifying the place. The islands arc a few hundred feet out in the sound, near the southerly boundary of New Rochelle, and not far from the New York Athletic Club's summer home at Travers Island, If the negotiations with Mr. Marx have a suc~ eessfu! outcome, it is said that the new owners Intend to 'sub¬ divide the property Into villa sites- BATHROOM CONVENIENCES. If you are an ower of improved real estate containing old- fashioned plumhing and an antiquated bathroom, then you douhtless have experienced no end of trouhle in finding the right purchaser for your holding. Too much importance these days cannot be placed upon the necessity of equipping the bath¬ room of a private dwelling with sanitary and modern plumbing, as well as practical and up-to-date fittings. Nearly everybody delights in a dainty bathroom, and even the calculating and experienced buyer of dwelling property ia not altogether im¬ mune from the seductive influence of tempting porcelain ware and bright nickel trimmings that form tho principal constitu¬ ents of the ideal bathroom. Among the new novelties and improvements is a device that will receive collar buttons, studs, tie and collar w-hich can be attached to the wall for convenience. It has several arms, the center one straight and those on the outside curved, resembling somewhat a lyre when laid flat. At the base of the lyre is a small open box on which to place studs. The tie hangs over the straight bar and the collar or cuffs suspend from tho curved bars, forming a convenient hanger. Another article of merit is a receptacle for sheet toilet paper made of highly polished sheet metal. Then there is an attach¬ ment for the tooth brush, the holder itself being funnel shaped and flat, with a little lid on top, and the bottom or point is a catch which takes the tooth brush, holding it more securely than can be done by hand, so that powder cannot possibly be spilled when the revolving liandle releases the particles. Still another improvement worth noting is the perfected bath mat. If it will be remembered, the average batli mat, as most of us know, must be tread upon exactly in the center w-hen either entering or leaving the tub. The new mat Is provided with stra;jped hooks near either end which rest on the sides of the tub in much the same manner as the regulation bath seat, except that the mat rests upon the bottom of the bath tub, and in this position it is quite impossible for the mat to slip. The improved mat will be appreciated by persons whose weight ex¬ ceeds the normal standard. —How often during the year are your conveyances posted correctly to date? The Checking Index will keep them to dat« at a fraction of the. present cost; works equally well with" gtre«t number or block and lot classification. RECENT LOANS. The Title Guarantee & Trust Co. has loaned on first mort¬ gage $200,000 to the Gross & Herbener Co, on the new 6-sty brick and stone store and apartment building located on tlie northeast corner of 156th st and Broadway. The size of this plot is 100x100, and this is a building and permanent loan.
