SrEUBENvILLE, April 14.-The estab,
lishment of a Building and Loan As
ISOLATION was a very thoughtful piec'
Of business, and comes at a time
when there will be great need of it. Some
of the finest building sites in this part Of
of the country are on the hill west Of tb'
city proper, and the place would have beer
populated long before this, only for thu
difficulty Of getting there. This will likely
soon be overcome, for it is the intention 0
the projectors Of the electric street railway
to run the line up Market street as far n
the Cemetery gate. This will open upthi'
part of the city to the general public, aDd
enable persons engaged in different line:
Of occupation that calls them down town
to reside thereon. There will he o sale o.
lots and a building of houses that will
be stimulated into unusual activity by the
Building and Loan Association, aud it will
not be a long time before many Of the
members are the possessors Of comfortable
and substantial homes, who, until re-
Gently, regarded it as an impOssibility fol
them TO ever own q home ia Steubenville,
the cost being 50 great for property in the
business part of the city, and their calling
making it extremely unhandy and uncom.
Portable to live in the outskirts. The street
rail way will enable them to get to the
hillside and back in a reasonable time, and
do away with all this trouble. Moreover,
the projectors Of the railway will find tina,
the Market street line will be the best
paying one Of the lot.
