A Short Talk On An Important
Subject.

Work at Murray Hill, as everywhere,
has been obliged to pick its way slow
ly through the backward Spring.
Notwithstanding some back sets ON
account of the tardy season, some re-
liable and promising progress has been
made. Fine blocks of tempting grass
have been scattered over the future
home lots, preparatory to building
material has been collected, more or
less grading has been done and parti
cularly the opening of Franklin street
has brought the lovely sites of Murray
Hill into close communication with
the city. Mr.. Melvin is pushing bust
ness and inquiries for lots are of daily
occurrence. Very many of these choice
sites will be taken this season. Pros
pectors will do well to complete their
selections before this Summer, as a
great rush is anticipated. The South
gate mansion will soon be erected and
others will quickly follow. Now is the
time to take hold of these invest
ments as large profits will develoIe in
course of the year and those who buy
now will get the benefit of future inn
pr0vements. We cannot speak too
highly of Murray Hill property. Its
advantages must be recognized and
recognized at once by all who will
walk over the ground and carefully
note them. Don't let the opportunity
slip away from your hands. Secure
some of these valuable lots before the
best are sold.
