tions of $500 and $1,000 each,
to the amount of S34 500, all OF
said bonds being offered 10 q lump;
that plaintiff, being the highest bidder
thereon, was by said city awarded said
bonds; that said bonds we're not sold
separately, but the whole issue was
offered at one and the same time and
plaintiffs bid was not for a portion OF
said bonds, but for the entire amount
thereof; that plaintiff accompanied
bis bid with check, drawn by himself
upon the Northwestern National bank OF
Great Falls, payable to w. S. Frary, the
treasurer of said city, said check being
delivered by said Hatcher as guarantee

out the contract whenever the bonds,
properly executed, should be delivered;
that said check was presented, cashed
and paid into the treasury OF said city

citizen and taxpayer, instituted suit in
this court to enjoin defendant from
issuing said bonds; that, July 30, this
court rendered judgment that $500 of
these bonds we're illegal, and enjoined
defendant from delivering same to any
person. that by reason of said decree de-
fendant refuses TO deliver the bonds to
the amount Of S34, 800; that said bonds
were never rendered to plaintiff, nor was
payment for them ever demanded; that,
Aug, 3, plaintiff demanded Of the coun-
Gil OF eaid city the payment of the
amount Of his check, which was refused,
and still is refused; that plaintiff has
failed to carry out the conditions OF its
contract; wherefore plaintiff demands
judgment.

CAPITOL HEIGHTS.
The New Addition to The Residen-
tial Portion Of Augusta Said to Be
The Healthiest Spot on Earth.
House Lots Selling Fast-The Way Now
Open TO Lay the Foundation Of Home for
Only One Dollar Week.

Since the recent publication
in the JOURNAL of the an
nouncement that Hon. Ira L.
Randall had purchased scv-
eral lots in the new addition
to the residential portion OF
Augusta, called CAPITOL
HEIGHTS, there has been a
great deal of curiosity and in
terest concerning the land,
and the opportunities it pre-
sents to the public, both in
building sites and as a matter
of permanent or speculative
investment. To meet these
many inquiries and to give the
public the necessary informa-
ton this article has been pre-
pared for publication.
Although hundreds OF
homes have been built in Au-
gusta during the few years
past, there is still a great de-
mand for desirable building
lots, especially for such as
desire to build homes for
themselves and families.
Throughout the Western
States the plan of selling
homesteads on the installment
plan has been in successful
operation for years, and by it
the very finest parts Of many
of our largest cities have
been built. At the same
time, as real estate is the sur
est thing in the world when
located in cities Of steady
growth, the house or building

"ground floor" the point of
lowest cost in which one can
have a share and which gives
the benefit of every cents
raise in value. The present
offer of lots on Capitol
Heights is the "ground
lloor." To make the first
start the lots are now offered
at the first cost. THE PRES
ENT PRICES WILL PREVAIL
UNTIL OCTOBER /, 1896,
WHEN A RISE OF 5 PER CENT.
WILL BE MADE ON THE PRICE
OF EVERY HOUSE LOT THEN
UNSOLD; AND ON THE FIRST
DAY OF TIE FOLLOWING
MONTH A LIKE ADDITION OF
5 PER CENT. ON TIE VALUE
OF EACH UNSOLD LOT WILL
ALSO BE MADE If A SINGLE
ONE Is LEFT.
Whether one is a home
seeker, an investor, a specula-
tor or simply looking for
safe place to deposit saw
ings, Capitol Heights offers
the chance of a lifetime if
the opportunity is improved
at once. Remember the
growth Of the city is certain
and desirable house lots can
not be found excepting in this
addition. Every cent that is
invested here is safer than in
any bank in the world, while
its value as a permanent in
vestmcnt is nearly fifty times
greater than the "best gilt
edge" stock or bond in the
market. No such chance to
start as a successful and rich
land owner has ever before
been offered to those of small
means; while to capitalists
and investors these lots offer
the unparalleled inducement
of sure value combined with
the highest rate of interest.
The reader who has fol-
lowed this description of Cap
itol Heights SO far will un-
doubtedly appreciate how
much such an addition means
to the future prosperity AID
growth Of Augusta, and, aside
from its attractions as a pay
ing investment, how interest
ed every citizen should be in
an early disposal of these lots

which they have been placed
make them the most valuable
land property to the purchas-
ers in Augusta. Whether
built on at once or held for the
future it is a safe and sure
value which will steadily APP
preciatc in the hands Of the
owner. The present cost is
considerably under the mar
ket value, the improvements
which are to follow will make
a title to one of these lots one
of the most valuable sccuri-
ties in the world.
Many readers not only in
Augusta, but in Eallowcll,
Gardiner, Watervillc and
many other places, knowing
the great value of this real
estate addition and not wish
ing to deposit further in say
ings banks will hail with de-
light this opportunity to Sc
cure a splendid investment
which will pay better than
the savings bank itself.
Economy and thrift are the
foundation of every fortune.
BY the exercise of a little
prudence and economy which
compels the purchaser to save
only dollar each week, the
habit of saving is easily
formed and before he is aware
of it he will own his lot en-
tirely which of itselfis a snug
little property and with its
prospective rise will have
more than doubled or quad
ruplcd in value before the
last payment is made; not
only this, but the habit of
regular savings will
be formed for life. But looked

1ne pan is simple ana
offers an opportunity to every
one to invest in an easy way
in property OF fixed value far
above the cost price and
which will prove a magnili-
cent investment to every hold
er. In this addition are sixty
or more large house lots Of
different sizes, but all approx
mating 5000 square feet, laid
out on wide streets and ave-
nues, extending from West
ern Avenue to Winthrop St.
Every lot is within three min
utes' walk of the proposed
electric railway extension to
Lake Cobbosseecontee and
Winthrop. These lots will be
sold for cash or ON a bond to
anyone on payment Of a small
sum down and a weekly sum
thereafter.
To know exactly what a
lot costs at the present time
before any rise is made ia
value is an easy matter.
The present price of these
lots is from $l1O to SIS
each. When you have Sc
Iected a lot you pay $40 dowa
and thereafter according to
the terms of the bond make
weekly payments Of 81. 90
until the whole amount is
paid.
AT the same time many
especially those hav-
ing capital for investment,
would prefer to pay the full
amount of the purchase in one
payment, and to such 10 per
cent. is offered as a special
discount on the cost of the lot
selected. In such a case a
clear title deed is given on the
first payment making the lot

any side stretches the remark
able landscape embracing
plains and mountains and
making the most beautiful
view in Maine.
But it's chiefly to the adj
vantages which Capitol
Heights offers as a suitable
place for homes for our people
that attention should espec-
tally be called, and it is safe
to say that no place in
America offers greater attract
ions than Capitol Heights con-
sidered as a place to build a
home. It is a perfect and
ideal spot. The air more tenn
pered and equablc than in the
lower parts OF Augusta is al
ways salubrious and fresh;
warmer in winter cooler in
summer giving good health
to all.
Parties from Massachu-
sets who have looked through
the State of Maine for build
ing sites pronounce it the
one spot of the State in which
to locate and have bought
several lots which will be i'm
proved and fine homes cs-
tablished.
The formation for drainage
is perfect; so that with the
fine soil we have perfect con-
ditions and it offers the most
healthful and convenient To-
cality in the world to build
homes, and this is a fine place
for a summer cottage if you
own a home; it is also
a most excellent place for a
garden to raise early fruits
and vegetables which will pay
the buyer a good big interest
on the investment.
In the. beginning of this
article we have called atten-
ton to the great success
which has attended the in
stallment land purchase plan
n other places, especially in
pushing and thriving West
ern communities, and it may
seem best at this point to
more fully explain the work

order that the reader may
thoroughly appreciate the easy
way in which investment is
made or a house lot purchased

ment plan offers an oppor-
tunity to every one to invest
their surplus capital and
savings in an absolutely safe
and paying investment as
sure as deposits in a savings
bank, while paying a much
higher rate of interest. The
advantages offered by this
plan are so obvious that it
has been decided to introduce
this system into Augusta and
to give everyone desiring to
invest in a lot on Capitol
Heights an opportunity to
pay for the same in this easy
and pleasant way.
