Since spring began there has been a
boom In real estate In South Providence
and out towards Pawtuxet Among
Others who are reaping the benefit of this
boom Is II. II. Horton, who has some very
desirable property on the Arnold Farm
Plat in Edgewood. 1t may be well to
say that the boom in the locations men
toned Is not an empty but deserved
one. for these sections are among the
most attractive dwelling sections in the
The Arnold Farm Plat consists of be-
tween forty and fifty acres and extends
from Silver Hook avenue TO the residence
OF the Hon. William ii. Hall and back
from Broad street to Narragansett bay.
The plat was put on the market last
September and out OF las lots almost
one-half have been sold.
In addition to the natural attractions
there are other things which make the
plat desirable for home seekers. Every
street is worked TO grade and has been
nccepted by the town of Cranston. The
strects are curbed and each house may be
connected with gas and water pipes. Mr..
Horton has been obliged 10 guarantee TO
the City Of Providence enough money Tor
laying the pipes and putting In water
until there should be enough residents on
The plat is handled exclusively by Mr.
Horton. and between $1,000 and $40 900
worth OF lots have been sold by him since
last September. Nearly every house has
been paid cash for.
The houses erected are at various costs,
but average between 5000 and $1,000.
About 5000 worth of buildings have
been erected or are in the process OF erec-
ton. No building can be erected for any
illegal or immoral purpose, and none can
be SET back from the street less than 20
feet. The lots measure 80 feet front by
122 feet back.
The rate of taxation In Cranston is SO. so
per q, 900, while in this city it is Sl5 per
$1,000. When double tracks are laid, as
Shey soon will be, il will take eighteen
minutes TO reach the plat from the city
by the electrics. These are two additional
facts which show the desirability OF
property on the plat.
Among the purchasers of property on
the Arnold Farm Plat are the following !:
John Lowe, William ID. Porter, William
Reynolds, w. l. Pearce, w. w. Whitten,
/. S. Kendall, Mrs. Elizabeth Danforth,

The Market.
The excessive heat of the past few days
has,-as-one- might say,-tskeH- -aff-tte-
starch out of everything pertaining to
the real estate business. The market
will probably continue to be dull through
out the summer months because OF the
number who will go away from the city.
Alterations to Butler Exchange.
Extensive alterations are being made on
the second floor Of Butler Exchange. There
will pU many more rooms than formerly.
the large rooms which were designed for
mercantile purposes having been cut up
into smaller rooms for offices. The corri-
dor has been widened. There seems to
be good demand for Office room, for al
ready before completion many OF the
rooms have been engaged.
