Why Property North of Pavonia
Avenue Is Not I'm
proved-Transfers and
Mortgages.

One has only to IS walk around the
neighborhood of Pavonia avenue and
Grove street any evening during the
week to become convinced that that
section of the city is growing, and grow
ing rapidly. Old residents of the old
horseshoe declare that they can see it
grow by the day. Grove street, too,
form Pavonia avenue to Newark avenue,
has taken on a new life of late, and has
developed into an enterprising business
street. There are plenty of property
owners who will declare to you tina
Grove street is destined to become one
of Jersey City's l~iyeliest business. streets.
There are comparatively few stores I'M
occupied at the present time between
Newark and Pavonia avenues and there
is even now a healthy demand for stores
beyond the Pavonia avenue line.
If some of the city's officials would
take a walk up in that section of the
city they would soon become convinced
of the important position it will hold in
the community. To be sure property is
cheap. 1t is not due to the fact that
the people are not progressive or do not
keep their buildings in good shape. To
property owners and real estate men it
is a spot always overlooked by p~olitici-
ans who will not and do not cater to
the people for their votes. To- begin
with, When the Street and Water Board
was Democratic, its members always
80 @PPS1'S ~ tNPNAN "
They viewed them in the light of cop
per head democrats, who would vote
nothing but a Democratic ticket, even if
Phil Muldoon's wooden Indian was on
the ticket.
HoPELEssLY DEMOCRATIC.
The Republicans on the other hand
regard the locality as a hopelessly Demo-
cratic one where it would be impossible
to secure a vote. even though they open
ed every street to. the Hill, and paved
those now opened with asphalt or Bel
Qian blocks free of charge To the nTnnAP-
ty owners.
The people realize their predicament
and showed their determination to get
| some recognition by giving the Demo
Gratis an awful scare in the recent Alder
manic contest.
The priests of St. Lucy's parish are
of the city officials to do nothing to
improve their end of the city. Polite
ians want to beware, as the people who
own property are tired of paying as
heavy taxes as people who receive great
er benefits while they can get nothing.
The party that opens Thirteenth street
or Seventeenth street to the Hill, and
| paves a few of the side streets north of
the tracks will be a lucky one. There
are several thousand voters up there,
and they are worth working for. Re-
CARELESS of the part politics play in every
public improvement, that end of the city
should be looked after, and at once. A
few improvements will give the city in
creased ratables OF &. quarter of a mil
lion or more beyond all doubt. The people
| want to build and invest, and they will
do so when given a little encourage
ment.
PAVONIA AVENUES NEEDS.
The proposed improvement of Pavonia
avenue by the residents of the Heights
is booming along merrily. The work will
| cost a great deal, and the projectors are
anxious to have everyone consent to its
| being done before any definite action is
taken. The Street and Water Commits
sioners are considering the petition of
James e. Banks and others who are
anxious to have Newark avenue straight
ened out and widened from the bridge,
! near the Jersey City Cemetery to the
| Five Corners. The undertaking is a
| much more expensive one than the pc
titioners imagine. Contractor Byrnes is
exeelling himself in keeping the streets
in first class condition.
