G. W. Prescott is going to show a thing
or two in the building line near Port
Tampa, where a new city has bean plated.
Walter Overstreet has the matter in charge.
and said t. a reporter Of the Tampa Journal
that probably %. 900 lots will bs laid out.
Capt. N. Dixon has already delivered the
stakes TO lay out 1000 However, none of
them will be placed on the market or sold
until the $l00, 600 which Mr.. Prescott has
decided TO invest has all been expended.
But one house has been completed so fer-a
large frame building for the use of Mr. Over
street and his employees. The next building
erected will be hotel Of twenty rooms,
frame building with tin roof. The material
for it is already on the site. Fifty houses to
cost $500 to 500 will be put up, these for
the use of laborsrs, the longshoremsn en-
ployed on the docks at Port Tampa, etc.,
and then the heavier and more costly build
ings will be put up. "Among other things,"
said Mr.. OVerstreet, "a $4,000 factory
building will be put UP, and most inviting
inducements offered some cigar manu-
facturer who will occupy it. In fact, manu-
featuring enterprises Of all kinds will be in
vited and encouraged most literally, but
particular attention viii be given 20 cigar
manufacturing. This factory building and
all the business houses will bs built of brick,
and the better class of residences will be
of brick also, vonsered. The town,
as now laid out, is just about one mile
square. 1t is three-fourths of q mile from
the shore Of the bay, and is being built on
each side of the railroad. A wide she'll
road will be built from the town to the bay
"a driveway. The streets will be graded,
| aud drainage carefully looked after. Some
of the streets will be shelled. Every in
| ducement will be held out to settlers.
Houses will be built for people who haven't
the money to build themselves; they will be
given the use of the houses and land free
for certain periods. Mr. Prescott will open
8 large supply store there. Within three
weeks l expect to have fifty houses ready
