continued quietly, and officers detailed
for that purpose have secured absolute

at the same place. The man has fled, but
the officers are on his track in this city,

within the territory when has been
brought into quick communication
with the business part OF the city.
The Outlying districts of the
city afford aneqnaled advant-
ages tor home building. The
topography of the landscape, together
with its geological characteristics, make
our suburban property desirable. For
the moet part the outlying districts are
high and afford abundant pure water.
The rapid march Of the city's progress
IS taking to those districts the full adj
vantages OF central locations, and gas,
water. sewer connections, street car
service and electric lights are already
within this territory. Another, and
perhaps the greatest reason why subur-
ban building Is especially active, lies in
the fact that property OF this class, III
common with all our city residence
property--is obtainable AT small prices.
The fact 10 plainly patent 10 any obser-

goes without saying. 1t is a notorious
fact that good homes have been built
in this city for less money than
would have produced the same
homes in any other place in the coun-
try. Activity In the construction OF
business property Is now fully on for
the season. Work on the construction
of the Briggs block commenced last
week, and will be carried forward with
all possible speed. The Michigan Trust
company's building, the finest CON-
merclal struction in the state of Michi-
gan, is rapidly approaching completion
and needs only few days more for
readiness for occupancy. The last
touches of interior decoration and the
arrangement of Office furniture are all
that remains to be done.
The greatest interest now centers in
the erection of q new aud comm0di0us
theater building for the city. fully
equipped opera house, capable of stag
ing the best dramatic productions of
the day would be generously patroUized
in the city, and would till long felt
