Matters at Loeb Lynn Heights
generally are progressing in a most
satisfactory manner, despite the
fact that the past year has not been
a good one for business ventures of
that nature. Major Anderson re-
ports having sold over two hundred
and fifty lots during the past season,
to the very best class Of people,
many of them residents Of this city,
and so active does the demand
promise to be the coming summer
that tract of four hundred acres
IN the rear of the hotel has been
purchased, and two hundred and
fifty acres of this land is now being
plated. A large green house, sur
rounded with five acres of land, is
now being erected, and arrange
ments are completed for setting
out shade trees, etc., for lot owners.
A number of cottages are now going
up, and the erection of the hotel
will make the time an auspicious
one for the building of houses by
those owning lots, as the work can
be done cheaper and more expe-
ditiously this winter than usual. -
