The proposed extension to Blackstone
Park which was given in this column last
week has aroused considerable inter rest.
One real estate man in conversation with
the NEWS reporter said he thought petit
tion would soon be presented TO the city
council asking that Irving avenue be
yidened TO one hundred feet, 1t now
bcing fifty feet, to the river and that Black
atone avenue be also widened to 100
feet This would make a river drive the
like 0f which could not be equalled in any
other city. Among the East Side resi-
dents ttere is . general desire that this
gsojsct IN addition pt, to s the extension % to
through. Anything which tends to beau
tlfy our city and is wit hin the bounds of
reason, should be done. These proposed
street improvements would greatly en-
hanceSthe value OF real estate In that Sec
tion.
Ts be Sold at Auction.
On Wednesday next at noon Isaac l..
Go6 will sell at auction the estate 125
0geenwioh street. This property will be

q Peace street, each VI by 100; one lot on
Greenwich street, 80 by 113, and one lot
corner of Greenwich streets so by 40. The
house on the premises will be sold separ-
stely to be removed.
There are more sales aggregating a
larger sum than Is usual at this time Of
the year, but the market is nevertheless
dull. This IL partly accounted for be-
cause OF the large exodus of people from
the city at this season.
A large number OF parties have
visited Drownville during the week who
are contemplating buying.
A good number of sales are noted at
Riverside. A house has recently been
sold there before IL was finished. This Is
but an example which shows the demand
for real property there.
The titles Of the land adjoining Roger
Williams Park which has been taken by
the city are being examined.
