Accepting the kind invitation OF
Messrs. Washington & Alexander,
progressive real estate agents, we on
last Saturday afternoon. in company
with our editorial brethren of the
Free Press and 1dUocdte, took a
seat in an easy riding phnton, be-
hinda spanking team of young horses,
and with Mr.. r. A. Alexander hold
of the ribbons with n master hand
were soon speeding over the lands of
the G. NJ, NJ. & [. Co., north of the
old town. Here we found busy
scene indeed. Hundreds of me-
chanics and laborers were at work.
and the hum of industry was abroad
on every hand. Street grading.
blasting and excavating was going
on in every direction, water mains
being extended, the grading of the
Belt Line railroad nearly completed
and ready for the ties, the Brass
Works and works of the Brick and
Tile Company in full operation, and
buildings all around in various stages
of completion. The immense amount
of work already done will surprise
the most skeptical, and this with
what will be accomplished by the
date of the lot sale cannot fail to in
spire the strongest faith in the sue
cess of our movement for local devel-
opment. Leaving the lands of the
c. NJ, NJ. & 1. Co., we had a delight
full drive down the Harper's Ferry
turnpike to the Charlestown and
Washington City Company's fine adj
dition. Here we found Messrs.
Colston & Miley had been doing some
nice grading, and Euclid avenue, one
hundred feet wide, is already de-
lightful driveway. Hundreds of shade
trees have been planted out and
boxed, and the boxes will be white
washed, giving these grounds most
attractive appearance. The streets
are laid off very wide, so as to allow
not only good driveways, but roomy
ravements and park reservations in
front of each lot. The view from the
neIghborhoOd of Shenandoah Circle
Is grand one, and not far away is
an elegant spring, which will prove
quite an attraction. The extension
through the lands of Mr.. r. A. AL
exander will he opened up this week.
after which there will be opportunity
for charming drive clear through 10
the Bloomery turnpike. The pros
poets of the Improvement companies
certainly look bright, and we are
pleased to note their rapid advance
ment. We return thanks IN NJos.r.
