CRANSI0N:
A Town Of Homes and . Place Of
Comfort


Many people are coming to realize that
a part OF this terrestrial sphere is meant
for them 10 own. and judging from
statistics some are choosing their portion
from Cranston territory.
During the past few years the buying
of lots and the building Of homes in
Cranston have been strongly put before
the people. II is not exaggeration to say
that the Cranston "boomersn have TO
aid them natural and social advantages,
not characteristic of every locality
In any part OF the town a man may
buy lot by paying few dollars down,
and the remainder In small monthly
payments.
hen the lot is paid for, the owner
may borrow money to build a house,
paying principal and interest with what
would otherwise be rent.
Considering the large number OF real
estate dealers and owners, who have lots
for sale in the town, II would be difficult
to gather accurate statistics to show how
many lots have been sold as house lots In
the town. We have, however, gathered
facts from those who have large plats OF
land for sale.
Meshanticut Park; plat on the n. Y.
* N. T.. X. r., below Knightsville, be-
longing to Mr.. John Dean, contains 77s
lots Of which about 440 have been sold.
On this park, and ON Wayland Park
annex, which IL owned also by Mr.. Dean,
"a houses have been built.
West Arlington plat; tract OF land
near Narragansett Park, owned by Wood,
Harmon d Co., contains 948 lots, OF
which about 900 have been sold. On this
plat there have been Is houses built.
The Arnold Farm plat, Edgewood, be-
tween Broad street and the Bay, man
aged by Mr.. II. +. Horton, contains 144
lots, OF which 113 have been sold. On
this plat 81 houses have been built. :
Atth Int xxyh
Auburn on the n. Y, n. ii. & ii. X. r.,
and owned by Wood, Harmon & CO.,
contains 922 lots, OF which number s3l
have been sold.
Eden Park; plat west of Auburn,
wned by the J. *. Budlong q Son Co.,
| contains 1893 lots, OF this number 234 have
been sold. On this plat 13 houses have
| boen built
Auburn Plateau; a tract west OF
Auburn, owned by Wood, Harmon q
| Co., contains AIS lots. OF which number
| 240 have been sold.
The total number OF lots sold up to the
present time on these several plats Is
| 275S.
The dealers soy that large proportion OF
| the purchasers have expressed their in
| tention to build in the near future. Prep
arations has already been made for the
| building of a large number OF houses be-
| fore the coming winter on these several
plats.
| IL is likely for one or two TO err in
| Judgment but is II likely that 275S lots
would be sold il the town does not have
| some advantagesy
| Chicago there was inscribed three quail
| fcations necessary to the growth OF
| country, viz: Fertile soil, easy methods
| OF communication, and an industrious
| people.
The evident desire OF the people to get
| homes is a proof that Cranston has the
latter qualification.
The larger expenditure on public high
ways, the extension OF the electric car
| line and the numerous lines OF busy rail-
roads show that she is pushing her claim
to the second qualification. The pro-
| ductive gardens OF the residents and the
| large produce farms all over the town show
that Cranston may boast of her fertile
| soil.
IMMENSE OPPOSITION.
Today is the last chance the objectors to
| the damages or assessments on Aliens
avenue have to file their "Notice of In
tention to Claim Jury Trial"
These papers are only preparatory
step. Before a court will try the case,
| papers OF issue must be filed setting
forth the grievance-whether the oblec-
tions are to the damages allowed or the
| assessment laid.
1t is thought that Council in the face
OF 40 much dissatisfaction will not vote
the Improvement to be made. The fol-
lowing named persons have so far filed
their "Notice of Intention to Claim a
Jury Trial" in the common pleas di-
vision OF the Supreme Court: Anna j.
