The contracts made by the company will
be based on the broadcast and most liberal
principles consistent with ordinary pru-
dence No person need forfeit the pay
ments he has made by reason OF inability
TO continue them. If the payments on
any property are four weeks IN arrears the
holder of the contract will be duly notified.
and, if he does not pay within ten days
thereafter, the property will be sold to the
highest bidder. OF the proceeds, after
paving costs of sale, the company viii re-
tain only such an amount as may be due
at the time, returning the balance, which,
as the property is likely to increase in
value, will probably amount to much more
than has been paid IN.
The company will reserve fifty business
lots on the principal street on the line of
the electric railway, TO be sold in about
two years. and the proceeds distributed
equally amongfthe purchasers of lots and
houses
To the first ten religious organizations
agreeing TO erect suitable church buildings
the company will donate suitable sites.
Similar sites will also be donated for

In order to secure the very best houses
that can be built for the money the COM
pany advertised for plans and offered
premium of $50. to be paid on completion,
of the best house for the price. The COM
petition was very thorough, over 200 plans
being submitted; as result the ten houses
already awarded Will be far superior to
any usually sold at the price. Buyers will
have their choice of numerous plans or
adopt if any responsible builder will erect
them for the money.
Among the plans selected for houses TO
be sold with a $500 lot, are three, four, i've,
six and seven room houses, some Of which
were selected to meet demand--the de-
mands of large families-others for their
beauty and convenience. Nearly all of the
designs are for much higher class of
houses than can usually be built for the
price. In the selection of sites for the
houses chosen, the company has taken
great pains to group the buildings in the
most effective manner and will overlook
no detail that will tend to make Columbia
an elegant and attractive suburb.
In addition TO the dwellings above mem.
toned the company will this week begin
the erection of q handsome little pavilion,
which will serve as a waiting-room for
passengers to and from Columbia and rs

Numerous applications have been made
to US for the privilege of selecting lots or
