the same liberal policy in laying off the
RESIDENCE QUARTER.

RESIDENCE QUARTER
SIN regard to our residence property
/ may say that some 300 acres of the
company's lands lie directly opposite
the West End tract and about the same
distance as that tract from the center
of the city. This property equals, if 1t
does not surpass, the West End tract
for beauty of location for residence pur-
poses. The latter tract is now recog-
niZed as the most desirable residence
quarter of the city, and the part Of the
company's property mentioned is SINH
lar to it in all respects, there is no rea-.
son that it should not at least equal it
as residence quarter. In laying out
this property many of the lots will be
made 200 feet or even moro in depth, as
it is believed that lots of this size will be
much more desirable for fine residences.
Thorough the center of this residence
quarter broad boulevard, 90 to 100 feet
in width will be laid off, running di-
rectly from the fine bridge that will
connect the company's property with
the corporation limits of tho town.
ELECTRIC CARS.
SIN tho centre of this street II to Is
feet will be reserved for the electric
street car line, giving ample space for
double track. This space will be
grassed over, and the track will only
actually be upon the street at the street
crossings. BY this means the dust and
noise incident to street car service will
be almost entirely dono away with. On
either side of tho street car reservation
it is probable that the street will be
macadamized, and it will form undoubt-
! edly the most beautiful drive in ROa-
noltc. In addition to this trees will at
no distant day. be set out on this and
other streets of tho residence quarter.
The other streets in this section will be
laid off with proper regard to the nat
ural contours of the ground, and with
the idea of making the property most
attractive in every respect
