From ail Ave eau hear, the annexation of Westchester to Ncav York County may be regarded as an accomplished fact; even the small politicians of the suburbs A\'ho hereto¬ fore opposed it having ceased résistance to a measure that the inévitable groAvth of our city has so successfuUy urged upon the Lég¬ islature of the State. The vote, uncloubted- ly, Avili be ail but unanimous in this city as a matter of course, and also Ave now hear in the villages that abound in the as yet neigh¬ boring county. Westchester property OAvners will at once appreciate the importance of this measure, AVhich brings their property right into a market Avhere financial institutions— now bj'^ law restricted in advancing money to city property only—can then also pay atten¬ tion to the real estate of Westchester. With Vanderbilt's track completed—within a year, as the prospect how is—there certainly can be no reason f^^' implaint on the part of : v". h î who will be then en- . : ; X " the city within ten Tlic ixtùMU EîîA^ii. liiîOBp, ayMcU always has paid considérable attention to real estate in Westchester County, Avill noAV double its watchfulness in that respect, aud become a still more A'aluable organ for aU of those Avho arc so soou to become our tovx'nsmon. MUNICIPAL APPOINTMENTS. The RE.A.L Estate Record, as the organ of property OAA^ners in Ncav York and vieinity, cannot but congratulate its readers on the municipal appointments inade thus far by Mayor Havemeyer. They reprosent a fîiir îiverage of Ncav York's wealth and intelli¬ gence, and there exists good reason to hope that property OAvners and citi/.ens generally Avill have their interests dnly guarded at the hands of the ncAV appointées. So far as known, most of the gentlemen thus honored by the Jlayor are honest, and certainly mean to do well ; Avhether they will succeed in managing public affairs as carefully and intelligently as some of them have been kuoAvn to conduct their private affairs, remains as yet to be seen. There is, aside of some minor offices which many citizens would have preferred to see filled by more capable men, only a single cause of regret for those engaged and interested in the real estate business, and that is that the Tax Commissioners are not ail experts"in real estate. No one would dare to lift his A^oice against the fair famé of Mr. Wlieeler, the Président of the Commission, but it must be admitted on ail sides that those who are charged with taxing property in accordance with its valuation should, Avhen appealed to, be able to knoAV Avhat the actual value of that property is, without being compelled to take the judgment of others for so important a part of their Avork. As to the Park Commissioners, Ave would like to see men like William T. Blodgett and William R Martin dévote their time and éner¬ gies toward beautifying our city, a task which can only be successfuUy accomplished by gentlemen of culture and of extensive expé¬ rience. To Mr. Martin especially, Avho maj»^ be called the godfather of ail that part of New York known as the West side, as he indeed has christened many of its streets and avenues ; such a compliment would have been simply an acknoAvledgment honestly made of liast services freely and spiritedly rendered at a time that New York was governed by a cabal, Avhich only looked to its own and not the city's aggrandizement. With thèse few Avords we bid the new régime welcome, hoping only that the Reform era now beguu in earnest Avili not be per¬ mitted to lose force as time passes by, and that New York will, henceforth, be governed in a manner thatAvill secure uot only tiie lives, but prot(jct the property of its citizens iu ail its various forms.
