UNIMpROVED LOTS IN LANCASTER-HOUSESl
WANTED. 80. $50
: There are vacant lots enough in LaScas 1
ter wherein to erect sufficient. numhaEy Oh
houses for three or FIVE times the present
population and double-any population lia,l
BILE to be settled here in fifty years.
Some of these lots are inclosed for COW
pastures. and some not inclosed-idle.--ii
All of them are taxed; the tax with the
interest on the money invested in lots must
add to their cost at least 20 per cent. ey-
cry year. Are these lots rising fifth in|
value in year, any year? Have they
even in the ten or twenty years since they
were first laid off into lots, raised 20 perl
cent. in any one or even two yearss Ney-
er, we think. Lots are therefore, even in|
Lancaster, the most fourishing village inl
Grant County, the deadest and most los
ing property in which money can be In
vested. 1t is unnecessary to say we would
recommend their sale to persons who
would improve them; common sense SO
4dyises. The true interest Of owners says
so. Still, with every successive periodical
demand for lots, the owners increase their
prices-always holding them little above
what buyers will pay. just now, there IS
blisk demand for lots and great de-
mand for dwellings,. Prices Of lots and
rents increase with demand, the effect be-
ing to repel those. who would come to set
tea centrifugal efact, as the book
would call it; we wonld have prices 80 es
to creates centipetal effect-to draw
people towards our town, and by the add
ton. of population, increase our trade, ,busi-
ness, Importance and strength surely a
better way to make money than to hold
UP lots so high that nobody will come and
improve them. Again, the proprietors of
lots can build houses on them for rent q
sale. Houses are in demand; they are
selling al. paying rates and are in go6a1
demand for rent. Now is the time tel
move; in other respects, reform policy
is. iaaugurated. Splendid schools are pro-
vided; we are supplied with churches, and
a progressive Board Of public works ,iss.st
work improving and beautifying our vii.
lage and cleansing the alleys and streets. ]
We want more .houses-at least, we want
to see more encouragement for settlers
Let stock building company be formed;
to supply the demand for houses. Who
will put -ina .ss.4
