A NOTABLE PROJECT

Most Beautiful Outlying Sections of

Notes Regarding Real Estate Inter-
ests-Recent Transfers.
The demand for real estate continues &C.
tive, and therefore there is marked adj |
vance in prices except in few localities |
The old prices are well maintained. Whit
ney avenue is one exception to the rule.
There a decided Improvement in values is
manifest. This is illustrated by the fact
that property which could be bought q
very few years ago on this avenue, or near
the head of Edward street, for from $40 to
$45 per foot has now nearly doubled in
value. A proportionate increase is appar-
emit all along the avenue from Edwards
street out to the city line, and even be-
yond, while the more costly land nearer
the city has equally increased. Among
the latest purchases on the avenue is the
one by Jeweler I. q. Kirby, corner of Can.

into his wen-built and comfortable new
house in the same vicinity The,late Pat
rick McKenna few year ago bought 100
feet on Whitney avenue above Lawrence
street for $40 foot. A portion of it has
recently been sold for more than double
that sum to Mr.. Hoadley, the confec-
| TONER.
There is talk in prominent circles In
town of project which it is said Yale
college does not look upon unfavorably
and which, if contaminated, will be one
of the most notable improvements in the
Winchester observatory section of the city
since the founding of the observatory
there through the iberality, public spirit
| and foresight of the late ex-Lieutenant
| Governor Oliver F. Winchester. The
| project in question is the formation of
public park within the big tract of land
st. Roman street and Highland street. st.
Roman is the new and prettily stu
ated suburban street lying mid
way between Whitney avenue and
street is that wherein the st. Francis
Orphan asylum fronts. The idea in view,
| said a prominent gentleman last evening,
| is to leave the land fronting on the streets
| named for building lots, the park to be the
large enclosure within, while the land
bordering on the driveways to be made
leading into the enclosure will also be
| utilized for more building lots. The park
| enclosure could be beautifed to marked
| extent. The land bounded on the four
streets named in all owned by Yale col
lege, and in the vicinity of the Yale-Win-
| chester Observatory land. The apprecia-
ton in the value of the land contiguous to
the proposed park will be great, while a
"gilt edge" class of residences and grounds
will be ensured and the whole section be
much the gamer.
