| into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

| Of suburban lands and the people of Fort

money invested by outside capitalists.

| tory will do for suburban lands is that

who took lots in this addition who did so
simply TO aid an enterprise that would
benefit the city. They considered the 500

lots have Deen sold at a premium,
| and yesterday W. q. Manchester

Geo. t. Fielding and others and paid
$4,000 for them, SI25 apiece. Some of
the other lots are now held at $3.50. Lots

dition are also at a premium.
