A Coon PLACE TO INVEST MONEY

A Coon PLACE TO INVEST MONEY.
1T has always been subject Of re-
mark that the low marsh lots in this
city were the cheapest grounds in
whfch TO make investments to be
found within many miles. BY proper
care they can be made to pay hand
some return by cropping hay and for
pasture and in time will surely be
used for business purposes. Twenty
years ago marsh lots were held at
about double the price per acle that
they have been sold for during the
past three or four years. During the
last session OF the Legislature The
most of this low land in South Viii
mington and all the Cherry Island
marsh and Brandywine marsh was
made much more valuable for manu-.
featuring purposes by the passage OF
a law relieving all building improves
ments for manufacturing establish
ments fIom taxation for ten years
after their erection. A large part OF
these marshes are cultivated and
annually heavy crops of corn, wheat
and vegetables raised-the soil being
light and easily worked. The land
lays close to navigation on the Delar
ware, The Christiana and the Brandy,
wine. The p, w. & b., the w. IL
N, and Delaware Western railroads
all pass through the land or near
enough 10 furnish sidings to almost
any part of il. These advantages
have been repeatedly spoken of ie-
Gently as giving the land superior ad-
vantages that should attract manu-
facturers who require large space for
their works. But it seems hat
the advantages are still overlooked.
That there is great opportunity fol
a speculation in these properties
seems TO be the opinion of many
hhtciiBchb ohoIhcSo hichy 1ob All utSl-
tate 10 buy. We think there is money in
them, aud time only is necessary to
develope the fact. What is feared 10
that some capitalist will buy up all the
best lots and hold them at such high
rates as to keep of such as would i'm
prove them rs manufacturing sites.
IL is said that no better place could be
found for the erection OF bl.st fur.
mace than on the Brandywine or Cher
ry Island marsh. Ore and all neccs,
sary material could be conveyed by
railroad cars or vesst Is To the very
do rs or into the yards Of such estab.
lishments at lover freigh. rates than
almost any other place, through the
competition over three railroads aud
by steamers to aud from Philadelphia
and New York. Rents are cheap ani
living lower than in any city in the
Middle States. But the greatest in
ducsment perhaps is he exemption oi
improvements from taxation.
