policy of:estabFishing suburban stations at

This enables a man to build him residence
five or six miles from the center of the city

popular. and the best and weaIthiest peo-
Die are adopting it. The plan generally
pursued enables the better class of people
to get control of the property and keep
out disreputable and Objectionable resi-
dents. A syndicate is organized which
purchases large tract of land. This is
divided into lots and sold only to response
Bile people. who are also desirable neigh
bors. and it is stipulated that all buildings
erected shall cost exceeding a certain
amount. In this way an attractive class of
residences are secured. No saloons are

succeeds another By pursuing this plan
the system heretofore followed OF giving the
number of new firms is avoided, and the
figures show the actual increase of business
firms. This, of course. does not take into
account real estate dealers and professional
men, but only those who can be legitimately
classed as business firms. There were 269
new firms in the saloon business. but they
were mostly changes. AS the number of
saloons is limited each year-and as the
quota is always full-there can, of course,
be no increase. An increase of 100 is
shown. however, as the limit was raised
from 600 to 700. The figures show that
l. 021 new firms have been established in st.
Paul during the year. This is largely in
excess of the showing for 1885, when the
totals were sos new firms. including 1913
saloons, and when no allowance was made
for simple changes of firm names. Nothing
could better illustrate st. Paurs prosperity
than this.
