A CLAIM REFUTED.
WHAT THE PRESIDENTIAL YEAR
SHOWS FOR NEWPORT NEWS.
Continued Remarkable Activity ana De-
veiopment-rhe Advance
in Values.

NEWPORT News. October 5.-Both politics
! and the State Exposition are occupying q
( goodly share of the attention of our peo-
pie, and they will be we'll represented az
the great show which opens tomorrow. III
is q pity, / think, that our people did not
accept the invitation of the committee on
your trades parade and take part IN that
affair, for no place, young or old, OF is SIZE
could nave made such q varied display.
Newport News could get mp a trades-pa-
rade itself that would even astonlsh It's
" people. Indeed, as alert as ITS citizens
are. / do not believe that n hall OF them
know the extent and variety OF Its indus
tries.
A~REFUTATIoN.
Newport News affords n striking refuta-
tion of the claim of the financial d0ctr'-
ndires that the presidential year is always
q dull one. Never IN the history OF the
place has there been q year-and p%artlcu-
lsrly a fall-in which business and
Investment were more active ana values
more secure, and marked By a steadler up
ward tendency. The approach OF cold
weather has gwen o fresh impetus to build
inc operations, and the demand tor eliel-
bic lots was never greater.
yERIFIEr.
Several times in my correspondence du-
ring the summer / stated that those who
bought during that period would have
cause to congratulate themselves. and this
statement has been verified. Every man
who has made purchases here, particularly
in the stretch between Newport News and
Hampton and along tho electric railway
line connecting these two places and Old
Point Comfort, is rated as worth from 80
10 IS per cent. more than when be pur-
chased. He has what people want for the
best class of residences, and they have got
to pay for 1t to get it. This plateau IS the
KEY to the situation, and top prices have
by no means been reached vet. 1t affords
a certain investment, for the simple rea-
son that every improvement of Newport
News and every extension of the place
pushes up values here.
The steady increase of population is
crOwdlng into the residences OF the older
part of the place, and those who have
made money here and others who bring
money here are naturally making Tor
themselves more substantial homes III the
extensions, The extension towards Hamp-
ton Is dotted, so to speak, with lots re-
served for homes, and every building that
goes up on these lots enhances the value
of every contiguous lot. To buy in these
gaps, whether to build for rental or
TO hold for future advance, IS what
the shrewd investor is doing, and L
am glad to say that most of these invest
ments are confined to individuals and not
to combinations. II has been the policy
of those controlling the plat | have re-
ferred TO especially not 20 bid for the sals
Of lots in blocks. but to encourage and az
ford the most liberal terms 70 individual
buyers. and in this policy they have been
the medium Of making money for many of
moderate means. The man who holds
now or may invest in the immediate fu-
ture simply anticipates q certainty.
