Here, Now, Is the Place
Where Values Will Increase Most
in Next Two Months
The section that will enjoy the greatest increase
in the next two months lies between Fourth and
Tenth streets, on the marsh which will be filled.
The improvement will bring this properly into
actual u'se, while heretofore it lias been almost im
possible to do anything with it. Streets will be im
proved in the near future; houses built, and a sec
tion which has been idle, waste land, will be prof
itably developed.
Most of this property has gone well up in price
since the fill was assured. However, we have one
or two parcels that can still be had at former
prices. They are money-makers beyond question,
and will be available at' present prices for only a
short time.
