WaierwOrks.
The part Of Salem least advertised
aud where improvements are least
looked for was inspected by JOUR.
NAL representative today. When
readers have cast their eye over the
list Of improvements recorded they
will express the same degree Of sur
prise that the writer did over the
progress Of the capital city's south
ern suburb-South Salem.
South Salem is the suburb of
slightly elevations and is destined
one day to be highly salubrious
and popular residence district. Real
estate on the first hill just south Of
the city is already held at fancy
prices. The "A. Bush estate and
deafmute school separate il from
lew Park, while to the southwest
rises Fair Mount Park. The intro
duction of fine ST., 900 schoulhouse,
nearly finished is going TO help this
suburb take on city airs right lively.
So will the introduction of water
works The water company has
spent some $4,000 erecting a reservoir
on Fairmount Heights, and will
give all this region a fine service.
Lands adjoining this suburb south
sell for S400 to $500 an acre.
The South Salem school house
stands ON the prettiest school site in
Salem, overlooking the whole city
that lies in the valley to the north
Not prettier block could have been
found. With street railway South
Salem will become as thrifty a sub
urb AS the city can boast.
