BRIGHT WEATHER A BLESSING.
1t Gives the Authorities a Chance to Make
Street Improvements.
VALUE OF UNIFORMITY IN BUILDINGS

yesterday of sufficient importance to merit
special mention. Black & Baird reported
the sale of three fine building sites on Lin
| den avenue, above Penn. One is 200x175
feet. The others are somewhat smaller.
The uniform price was $50 foot front w.
A. Heron & Sons sold handsome resi-
dence, located between Shadyside and Roup.
to well-known business man for $50, ,000.
The purchaser will make some alterations
and improvements and occupy the property
as home.
Henry A. Weaver & Co. and G. II. Love
stated that they were closing up some big
deals. John J. Howley is engineering an
important transaction in coke lands. Charles
Somers & Co. reported a good inquiry for
business property, while James W. Drape &
Co. announced brisk movement in mortgages.
Thomas Lggett said he was nursing dairy
deal, which would soon be in shape to be given
to the public.
The good weather with which Pittsburg has
been favored so far this season has been a
blessing in more ways than one. 1t has not
only facilitated building operations, but it has
afforded rare opportunity for carrying for
ward street improvements, both urban and
suburban, Of great utility to the entire COM
| munity.
Chief in importance among these may be
mentioned the paving of Penn avenue from
Point Breeze to Williamsburg. which has pro-
gressed SO far as to insure its completion this
season. The rapid settlement of the country
between the points indicated renders a good
thoroughfare an absolute necessity. The in
| creased country trade which it viii be the
means of bringing to the city will soon pay the
cost of the Improvement.
OF perhaps equal importance is the improve
ment of Atwood and BoQuet streets, work on
which is being prosecuted with so much vigor
as to give assurance Of their early completion.
The Improvement: of these streets will open up
the entire Oakland territory from Fifth avenue
to the river. This, with the addition Of rapid
transit, which will be provided in a short time,
will greatly increase the attractions and advan-
tages of this beautiful district for residence
purposes.
California boulevard, extending from Allie
gheny City down the Sewickley valley, is an
other work of great importance which the fine
weather is favoring. It will assist very ma
terially in developing one of the finest dis
tricts adjacent to Pittsburg-s district unsur-
passed by any other for natural beauty and
susceptibility of the highest Improvement
