National. election 10 approaching:
Sc. Louis owes the rapid settling up
Of les suburbs 90 the scores o. building
associations, which keep the mechan.
ics - work all che year round, putting
up homes for people Of ANAL means.
New associations are constantly being
organized, and .he most solid ones
think that the siae has nov come 10
have this system % investment pro-
tected BY the State like the banka
Accordingly, q convention OF the State
league OF building associations, reprs-
sentins zoo OF these organisations, has
been in session here most Of this week,
preparing memorial 10 the nest Leg
islature, which will ask for the sstab-
lishment Of bureau ofinspsction, and
the exemption OF association shares
from taxation. II these Laws are'se-
cured, Missouri next year will forge
ahead Of all the other Ststes in the
Union on the score Of the numtsr and
wealth OF its building associations.
For the second time within five
years. the citizens Of st. Louis have
put their hands into their pockets and
paid for the organization Of . special
sanitary corps, to re-enforcs the cit:-
authorities in that most important
work in all great cities, keeping the
streets clean. The city has grown so
rapidly since the time of'that first citi-
Zeps' committee, that. this one will
have to spend much more money to ac-
complish the same object, and, as it is
intended to keep the special corps at
work all through next year, till the
winter, the cost will hardly be less than
500, 900. But the work will make st.
Louis a cleaner city than Washington,
even, and to achieve this result is we'll |
worth the money that will be spent.
The streets were made impossible |
by the sight-seers Tuesday night, when
the prophet and his retinue psraded
with a score Of tableaus on floats, IL
Illustrating the history of the Louisiana,
from which territory Missouri sprung
originally. The twenty second float,
the last in the, line, was received
everywhere with shouts of applause. |
1t represented a native Missourian TAX
taking the oath of Office as president |
of the United States in 1912. After |
the parade the prophet and his suite,
who had been the figures in the tab
leans, went to the Merchants Ex- |
change Hall, where they, still in their
quaint costumes, attended the ball,
which is the social event of the year.
A good illustration of the rapid |
change now taking place in suburban
is given by the history of =
piece Of land eight miles away from |
the city limits. There are eighty acres |
in it. Ten years ago, it was such
productive farm in which to raise sup |
plies for the city, that the owner re-
fused SEQ, 900 for it. Its value as farm |
ing land decreased fast, till a few
ago it was sold for 500 an
acre. The spectators who bought it |
sold it to syndicate of city men for
500 They cut if up into building |
lots, sold them at auction, and cleared |
SEQ, 600 The electric cars, running |
long distances west, have made possible |
such transformations
