| Owing to its commanding situation as a
| railroad center, the city of Buffalo has OF
| late years become very popular as a con-
vention city for meetings of national bodies.
But never in her history has she made prep
arations to receive a gathering of business
| men the importance of whose visit will have
so wide and beneficial an effect upon her
great destiny as will the meeting of the Ma
| tional Real Estate Association of America.
| whose second annual conyress will be held
| in Buffalo on October to inclusive.

| accomplish is the establishment OF UNIFORM

and registry of real property; for better ana
simpler and more secure legal forms 70 De,
used in the transa ction OF the real estate
business, and for the establishment of cen.
tral body of reference and STATISTICS. Inc

| and fictitious ''booms, and encourages ana
aims to direct as far as possible, the invest
| ment OF money in sections promising the

The association is purely natlonal In It's

Delegates to this congress will find the
city of Buffalo one OF the most magnificent
examples of material prosperity and Ameri-
800 900 inhabitants, and they will learn that
one-half of the Inhabitants of Buffalo have
been added to her population during the
past Il years. They will find a municipal
government, whose rule has been so intelli-
gent and progressive that it has been able to
keep pace with this unprecedented growth
by extending police, fire and water protec-
tion; parks, boulevards and pavements;
schools and churches, and q sewerage sys-
TEN tuily in keeping with the wants of her
800, 900 people. and yet a city which leads Is
merlcan cities in economic taxation.
OF Interest to Visitors.
The visitors will find more than 100 miles
of smooth asphalt pavement, which is near
~ TWICE more nlieS OI UnlS perIect pave
ment than is possessed by any city in the
world. They will find a water supply, which
furnishes an unlimited quantity of pure
water from Lake Erie to every inhabitant.
Buffalo is now the largest coal distributing
point in the world; the largest sheep mar
ket; the largest fresh fish market, and with
her suburban rort OF Tonawanda, the larg-
est lumber market in the world. She is the
second largest grain, cattle and live stock
market in the world, and the value of her
lake and rail commerce places her as the
sixth largest commercial city on the globe
The five cities which surpass her are Lon
don, Liverpool, New York, Hamburg and
Chicago.
Probably of more general national inter.
est in this real estate congress will be the
extension to Buffalo OF congratulations by
every visitor upon Buffalo's acquisition of
Niagara Falls water power by the mon
strous tunnel just completed at an expense
of many millions of dollars of Wall street
capital, which will supply to Buffalo 120, 900
horse power, for all manufacturing purposes
and for electric light at a cost of one-fourth
of steam-made power and one-half the cost
of the cheapest water power elsewhere in
the world. The Hon. Peter A. Porter, who
was one of the projectors of this tunnel,
will address the congress upon the incep-
tion, history and completion of the grea test |
of the worlds engineering feats, and the |
entire congress Will adjourn to Niagara |
Falls to visit the tunnel.
