FRIDAY, Dec %
A new town is to be built near Lock No.
on the Monongahela river by syndicate
of Pittsburg capitalists The town will be
established on plan similar TO Kensington
as several large manufacturing concerns
have already agreed TO remove their works
to the new field. The tract upon
which this town will be built con-
tains 1900 acres, and has large frontage
on both the river and railroads. Mr.. Tenor,
the gentleman who represents the synQl-

the enterprise could not be obtained. A
well known real estate broker sald, now
ever, that several blocks (60 lots in Dlock)
in the contemplated town have already
been sold, and that the erection OF the new
manufacturing plants will be commenced IN
the sprin2. The laying off and surveying OF
this property has been quietly going on Ior
some time, the matter, Tor some unknown
reason, having been kept secrect by the

matter has leaked out.
