There Is probably no more olastia wordIn the root cStuto vocabulary than "de-velopment," The process Is one which,as applied to t!io Kimo piece of ground,tnay mean a fow weeks work and the

of a few hundred, perhaps a fewthousand dollars; or ngntn It may mean

(

years of worl: and a preliminary outlayrunning into hundred of thousands. j

Beside this thero is n notion, more or I

Ims widely held it might be better to saythat thoro has been such n notion thatreal estate development Is a businessrequiring only tract of land, n surveyingparty anil a gang of laborers, with, ofcourse, enough money to pay the bills.This notion, however, has been to p largenxtent dispelled during tho last four orAve years until to-da- y it is pretty generallyrecognized that the proper developmentof real estate in not only something whichcalls for tltno and money but is also ahighly specialized field of activity, withalmost unlimited opportunities for thoexercise of experienco and judgment.

Fine sprlne weather In tho early daysof the past week had a pronounced effecton conditions at Lone Beach. Visitors Innumber unwonted for this time of thoyear have been on tho Boardwalk eachday and many cottagers, who had notspent tho winter here, were down to pre-pare their homes for summer occupancy.As a direct result of this accession to theusual number of visitors at this seasonwas the sale last week of three of thohigher priced houses.

Recent visitors who were at LoneBeach last year expressed surprise at theImmense progress made this winter. Par-ticularly were they struck with tho Im-

BUILDING IN LARGE AREAS.

Brookljn's Growth Going Ahead Rapidly

In Expectation of Subways.While the realty market In Brooklyn

remains rather slow, the dealeis, espec-ially tho larcer companies, are preparingfor tho expected rush. Many sections ofthe boroush are building UP on thotrench of that promised Invasion, which

so say tho land prophets, must Inevitablyfollow the opening or the rourin avenuesubway and tho Manhattan Bridge.

This building up of undeveloped sec- -

tlons has been particularly notlceabloslnco tho beginning of tho year, but thereIs one choicely situated urea where theyare pulling down. Thts, the razing of theold Manhattan Beach Hotel, Is merelypreliminary to the building of bungalowsand cottnges. These buildings will goup on the land between Sheepshead nayon one side and the ocenn on tho other.It having already been cut up Into 300building lots by the Manhattan BeachEstates, the present holder.

The hotel, which Is being destroyed tomake way for the bungalows, wan put upIn 1S77 at a cost of $360,000. The ad-joining land has been Idle since then andhas now become too valuable to remnluInactive. As a further Improvement thocompany Is deepening Sheepshead Baychannel and walling In the beach on theocean side. . . .

This taking over the tug areas or ianaand mapping It out for particular uses Isbecoming more nnd more tho rule of theblggor companies, and evidence of It canbe seen In any of thoso newer sectionswhere the nnnnrtlinltv 111 offered. AlongKings Highway. In the Bushwlck section,and In liast Now York tho building ofwhole blocks or houses, mofiiy ono anatwo family. Is especially notlreable.

Big business too has shown Its faithIn Brooklyn's future. The Bushwlck Ter-minal Company has submitted plans nndspecifications for a building to cost $450,-00- 0,

and will spend much morn In develop-ing Its valuable property along the I'outhBrooklyn waterfront. Also the New YorkPock Company is comiiotlnc In this mat-ter of development, and early next monththe American Manufacturing Company,which employs over 1,000 personB fn Itsbagging and cordage factory nt Noble andWest streets, Greenpolnt, will move Itsmain ofnceR from 63 Wall street to a newstructure adjoining the factory.

The developments along Kings High-way are due perhaps to tho widening ofthat thoroughfare from CO to 100 feetIw.lwe.n Ocean Pnrkwav and Klatbushavenue. Another section that Is growingnonce Is that which Is crowded into thonuKio ui xiruiurii m nuuc iiiiia uirParkway by Flatbush and Host NewYork. Apartment houses are rolne up enbloc, and some of the detached residencesIn tho streets that front on the parkwayare quite handsome, and as exclusivelysituated, almost, as though they were Ina private park.

sm mas smiKia mm- m.

New Vork olty is the greatest manufacturing centre In the country- - It con-

tains 35,038 manufacturing establishments with a capital of Il,3t4,333,090.Theso establishments use annually intlicir various manufactures materialswhich cost $1,002,155,000. The value oftheir finished produet Is $3,029,893,000.The average number of wage earnersthat they employ Is 554,002, not countingofficials and other employees. Theseare tho figures for the year 1909, andtherefore at present they are subjectto material Incroase.

Tho exports from the port of New Yorkin 1010 reached n total or $794,835,764,and of theso the domestlo exportsamounted to $886,789,717. A large portionof tho goods manufactured In this citywere consumed by the dty itself with itspopulation of 4,083,383.

ACREAOB rOFUIilTION.

Notwithstanding these facts and thsenormous totals of production tho popu-lation in tho Borough of Manhattan Is185 on each acre, in Brooklyn It is only42 on each acre, In Tho Bronx each acrecontains only 10 inhabitants. Queenshas only persons for esch acre of itsarea nnd Richmond only 2.3. H appears.therefore, that despite the treroeudousaggregato of its manufacture) and of itspopulation there is plenty of room withintho limits or tho city for further growthin both respects.

These fact many others of similarcharacter have leen considered by theMerchants Association of New York.Practically every other State in the country, large nnd small, has commercialorganization composed of business nndprofessional men who aro devoting them-selves to tho development of ltn Indus-trio- s

and to attracting now Industries.New York city has no organization of thiskind

Because of tho lack of unity In organiza-tion other cltice compactly organizril areconstantly raiding Now York. They comewith attractive otters to manufacturers,promising them free building sites,

Sometimes tliey

orran usa of uo.vsr.The Boston Chamber of Commerce has

gone no far as to establish a developmentcompany with a large capital to buy stockin new conoems which tho Chamber ofCommerce, after investigation, wouldllkoto attract to Boston. In this mannerworking capital is provided.

Notwithstanding these facta ths nat-ural advantages which New York cityenjoys havo hitherto boen sufficient tomaintain its industry. No other cityoffers so largo consuming populationat the door of the factory; no other cangive such facilities for foreign commerceor such direct communication with coast-wis- o

points and with the Interior of thecountry both by water and by rail. Theseadvantages, it Is true, have been nullifiedto a certain extent by discriminationsagainst tho city which other cities haveinduced tho railroads and steamshiplines to establish. Thev aro also oounter- -

With the establishmentof trafflo and transit lines It affords Ideallocations for industrial establishments,but oven In Manhattan, already for thsmost part densely populated, the looalltlesaro subject to sudden migrations of busi-ness, disturbing real estate values and up-setting stability.

oucn a migration is now taking pilotfrom tho downtown wholesale district.

These are not matters that can properlybe guided or controlled by publlo offloUIs;they must be taken In charge by thebusiness Interests If anything effective isto be accomplished. Realizing this fact theMerchants Association a year ago deter-mined to extend and increase Its activi-ties. Tho association was and is in pros- -

iwrouB ixinuuiuii, wim on ample inoomefor the work that it was doing and with

membership of somo 1,400 corporations,urms ana individuals, including tne largestinterests of tho kind In the city.

IN OTHEn CITIES.Having decided what It intended to do

tho association sent a committee of throe,In charge of its secretary, S. O. Mead,to visit othor cities where active commer-cial organizations are at work, studytheir methods and bring back suggestionsadapted to the needs of New York citySoveral months were devoted to this worl:and reports wcro mado to tho MerchantsAssociation, upon the Boston Chamberof Commerce, the Buffalo Chamber ofCommerce and Manufacturers Club, theCleveland Chamber of Commerce, theDetroit Board of Commerce and theChicago Association of Commerce

Thero has bcon a marked developmentIn tho activity of suoh organl; atlonthroughout the country, and especiallyin tho Fast, during tho last decado.
