PRIZE AWARDED.
Reasons for the Increasing Sales of Build
ing sites on the North Side.

The special prize of five dollars in
gold recently offered by Hawkins s. Co.
to the person giving the best reasons for
the increasing sales of building sites
over Washington bridge has been
awarded to w. Ii. Walker of EVERY
EVENING. Here is the prize-winning
answer:
Hawkins 6 Co., Real EStatc-DEAR SIRs +:
There are excellent reasons why there is
such an increasing demand for building
and fine resident lots over Washington
street bridge.
In the first place the erection of Wash
ington street bridge and the projected new
boulevard has rendered property very
valuable on the north side of the Brandy
wine, --... ....l. ..
1t is only natural that people are anx-
ious to purchase building sites where they
can obtain the most advantages for the
money.
The industrial and commercial interests
of Wilmington are such that the popula-
ton of the city is seeking investment
where the future development will be to
them the most remunerative. This place
is beyond Washington street bridge.
The ground is high and dry, and there
will be no fear of foundations SO ruinous
to property in the low-lying districts; be-
| oihSot NhS 10 anu lllG
scenery, commanding a magnificent view
of the Delaware and the surrounding
country, is beautiful.
| There is no better drainage within the
city limits. II is an ideal spot for a resi-
dence. Building lots in this part of the
city will wonderfully enhance i'll value
within few years.
The natural resources of this strip OF
property are unequalled in this city. The
development of Wilmington will undoubt-
eddy turn to the north and to the north
west, and the new boulevard has led the
way to the new Wilmington of the future.
There will probably be trolley road ex-
tending along this avenue to the Concord
pike, and possibly connecting with Market
street, furnishing ample facilities by rail
in conjunction with the railway to Gordon
Heights; not to speak of the easy access to
the Baltimore IL Ohio railroad.
The boulevard is to be intercepted by
streets not yet cut through One of the
greatest advantages is the excellent lnCa-
ton of the ground for building purposes
and the comparative small cost in making
excavations for building. There is very
little tiliing-in to do.
Taxing it all in all, it is a very available
spot for building sites.
