A BIG SALE PROBABLE.


nue. Likely to Change Owners Before
Long-A Number of Prominent People
After It-Building Permits and Sales.
The Watson property, located near the
terminus of the electric line on Perrysville
avenue, Allegheny, tract comprising
about 150 acres will, it is said, De sold in
October next. The owners have not defn-
itely decided as yet whether they will sell
or clear up the membranes and hold the
property, but in all probability it will be
sold. There is a plan of lots laid off on a
portion of the tract fronting on Perrysville
avenue, and as realty in this locality has en-.
HANGED in value greatly within year or so,
the proceeds of sale would foot away up
in tho thousands of dollars.
Two gentlemen constituting a firm of very
prominent drygOOds merchants and CASH
1er of one Of Allegheny's national banks are
said to be negotiating for the purchase OF
the property at the present. time, but SO
many complications are in the way that a
private sale is hardly probable. II, how
ever, public sale occurs these gentlemen
will undoubtedly be the highest bidders.
The reasons for the apparent anxiety of the
three gentlemen mentioned to purchase the
tract and the disposition to be made of it
should they become the owners are not
known.
1t is also intimated that the rural section
of the large plot, which comprises the
greater portion of the land, might be pur-
chased by Allegheny City for park .pur-
beautiful spot with little improvement, as
the natural scenery in some places is really
grand, and magnificent park would be the
result Of comparatively little labor and
cost.
Through Run for One Fare.
An Inconvenience that has been causing
dissatisfaction to property owners and resi-
dents beyond the second toll house on
Perrysville avenue, Allegheny. has been
remedied, as from to-day on through cars
will be run by the Pleasant Valley Company
from Sixth avenue to the terminus cf che
road. Heretofore a change of cars was nee
essary at Charles street for persons going
Now that through run is made and single
fare charged, property along the line will
undoubtedly look up a little.
