Bert Spencer. The P9rpose OF the COM
. nspv is TO BALD q saaitarium which
sball be = model. Such a project has
long been considered 10y these gentle
men, but great care was necessary in

,be best hygieRie conditions. Such a
loestion has az last been found and pur-
chased. The company has been organ
lied and articles OF Incorporation were
fled Yesterday. Plans for the building
which shall at the outset cost not less
than $4,000 are now being prepared by
Architect BrothertOn and will be COM
peted tomorrow.
One hundred and sixty acres, w.
ing northeas. OF and adjoining the Hur-
ley tract, have been purchased. This
has been plated and called Edgewood
Heights, so named from its greater
eminenCe.
This is laid off into lots aud will be
put UPON the market upon terms set

low. The sanitarium which will be a
two story brick with Accommodations for
seventy five guests will be situated one
block from the north line OF the
Heights, one block from the east and

run to the sanitarium over route

manner rs TO reach as nearly as pos
sibe all parts OF this addition. The

money derived from the sale OF the
lots shAt hS used for the purpose OF
building the saRitarium and max
ing other pVovements in the
Heights so that what each purchaser

the projectors of the success OF the
movement that they have IncorpOra-
ted into their agreement clause re-
leasing all parties to it in the event
that $50 900 shall rot have been raised

Eigewood Heights is no doubt de-
stined to become one OF the most pleas
ant additions TO Phoenix. 1t cannot oil
course be long regarded as suburban
addition, as the numerous street car
movements in that direction are bound
70 bring il very close TO the central por-
lion OF the town and also to build up
the property not only on this side OF II
but beyond ID.
The gtoand is high and the locality
particularly beautiful. 1t lies north OF
me water works and about a mile,
probably little more, from Washing.

business portions OF the town, as such
an institution should be, yet it will be
near enough, by means OF electric cars
