The Place to Build

Murray Hill has come forward dur
ing the last week as an integral part
of Annapolis. The grading of Franklin
Street extended has been finished and
nice, easy grade it is. You are
hardly conscious of walking up oil
down hill, the ascent is so gradual
and perfectly easy. The city will now
stretch out its aims and clasp Muir
ray Hill in its motherly embrace; in
short, hug it into prosperity. 1t is
bot nd to come. The City needs
building lots and here they are, right
up in the heart, so to speak of the city,
hardly more than stones throw from
the circle where all the life and bust
ness, hacks and baby carriages of An
napolis meet in a sort of New York
jam. Yes, Murray Hill is decidedly
the breathing spot of the city and
the crowd, baby carriages and all,
will soon be airing itself over the
broad streets that form the fine APP
proaches to the Hill. Here are spac-
ious and handsome building lots al
attractive prices. Secure one of them
your choice, at once. They are good
investments and will make delightful
homes. Call on Mr.. Melvin.
