THE NEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE CITY

THE NEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE CITY
1t is not so much what Pittsburg is as
what she promises to be that constitutes the
real basis of real estate values. Her growth
is of kind that not only embodies all the
elements of stability, but Of indefinite ex-
pansion. He would be bold man who
would undertake to set limits to her con-
quests.
Public and individual munifcence is de-
vising system of parks, or breathing places
which will, when accomplished, add greatly
to the attractions of the city and its sur
roundings, and enhance the value Of prop
erty. If to this be added the advantages of
rapid transit which is reaching out like an
octopus into every nook and corner, it will be
seen that the prospect Is as pleasing as the
most ardent could desire.
The suburbs are destined to be the homes of
the people. The city proper will be devoted to
business. This is so now to a great extent,
but the lines will be more closely drawn as pop
ulation and business increase. This will en-
large the demand for outside property and pre-
vent reaction in prices. Fairly viewed and
judged in the light of fact and probability,
Plttsburg real estate Is as safe and sure as
Government bonds
