u precursor Of q series of
Improvements which
will materially change
the character Of that
entire section Of coun-
try. This movement is due almost entirely to
the new electric railroad enterprises, which win
bring all that region in closer touch with the
CITY, As soon rs the railroad out the It'll street
road became an assured fact then enterprising
men saw that this means of rapid commuuica-
| ton with the city would make the locality
available for residence purposes An active
demand was the result, not only for land along
! the line OF the new road. which extends to the
| District line and to Takoma Park, but at once
propositions were made to extend these lines be-
| yond into Montgomery county. In anticipa-
| tion OF the building of these roads great deal
OF land has been purchased, especially along
the continuation of the 9TH street road into the
county. One phase of the interest which this
| locality excites was shown in the rumors which
| attributed to Mr.. Cleveland an intention to Sc
| cure country residence for himself along the
9TH street road. However. whether the Presi-
| dent-elect selects that locality for his home or
| some other. there will be no let up in the move
| ment which has begun, for the reason that the
| motive power behind it is the new railroads
which have been or are about to be constructed
The demand for lands in Montgomery county
/ has, however, gone to the eastward of the 7th
street road and extended north for surprising
| distance.
