Notes and Personal Mention

renee has been considering the propo.
sition to erect substantial brick busi-
ness building on the northwest corner
of Union street aud Raymond avenue.
This has had tendency to boom prop
erty in that locality, and has brought
forward plan to widen Union street
between Fair Oaks and Marengo ave-
nues. The property owners along the
street favor the projsct. L he street
west Of Fair Oaks avenue will hardly
admit OF such change, but east of
Fair OakB the plan is feasible.
IN THE DIM FUTURE
The new 100000 hotel proj,ct al
ready gives rise to promise OF other
improvements in that locality. The
Nelmes tract, which embraces the pro.
! po sed hotel site, is not now accessible
by railway, either steam or electricity,
but the steam railways are not asleep
to the situation. Railroad promoters
will have trouble when they approach
the residents Of Orange grove or Grand
avenue or Terrace drive on such a
proposition, as vast sum, of money
have been expended on those thorough
fares to beautify them for residence
purposes only. While no plan has as
yet been suggested, the people ara be-
ginning to study the situation, and
property owners are speculsting where
the changes are to come. Some heavy
grading will bs Indispensable which
ever way it goes, which of itself does
much toward deprsciating values in
choice resident districts.
