No falling off in the business in Williamsburg real estate is observable by the local brokers. In building, renting and trans¬ ferring, business is brisk in all lines. In the Bedford section of Brooklyn almost the only available property to rent are houses held at a figure of at least $S0. Many owners are altering their single dwellings into two-family houses. The majority of the buyers and renters are Manhattan people. The Rosehill Realty Corporation, incorporated on April 28, with a capital of $100,000, have opened elegantly furnished and well equipped oflices in the German-American Building. No. 25 Nas¬ sau st. Rooms 1204-5. The officers of the company are Louis J. Levy, president, and David Kidansky, vice-president The company will do a general operating business, the buying and selling of real estate in all sectiona of the boroughs of Manhat¬ tan and Bronx, Fine Parquetry Floors. i The Wood Mosaic Company, of No. 315 Fifth avenue, this city, makers and layers of parquetry floors, have recently com¬ pleted the contract for laying all the parquetry floors at "Shadow Lawn." West End, Long Branch, the summer home of Mr. John A. McCall. tbe president of the New Tork Life Insurance Co., of ■which Mr. Henry E, Cregier is the architect. This la one of the largest and most costly country residences In this country and the character of the floors laid in it by the Wood Mosaic Co. are in keeping with the generally elaborate features of the house. The Governor has aigned the Marshall bill amending the lien law as to conditional sales, and it is now Chapter G98 of the Laws of 1901. While the measure was under consideration the opposition was vigorous. There can be no doubt that this law will operate to the beneflt of purchasers and mortgagees of real estate. It was approved by the principal institutions engaged in the examination of titles and making loana on mortgagea, and also by a number of leading lawyers. &he WORLD OF BUILDING Status of New Work.
