ments have been commenced, and many others are
in contemplation.
The streets are wide, and some of them the

water pipes are laid under the sidewalks, and sewer
connections are brought under the curb, SO no ne
cessity exists of the street ever being disturbed,

have already been erected, and more are in the
course of completion. Numerous streets and ave-
nues are being opened throughout the property,
and while the avenues afford sites for large and
handsome residences, lots on some of the streets
can be sold for houses of more moderate style.
