lots of Currier, for the nominal con-
sideration of 81.
1t was in June that Currier began to
market the land in large blocks to
his friends. On June p he conveyed
70 Samuel w. Davis of Worcester. lO7
lots, all fully described by number in
the deed. The subsequent transaction
would imply that Mr. Davis was land
hungry, for, the day after celebrating
the Fourth of July last year, he bought
Oh MI. Currier so more lots and paid
deed given by Mr.. Cnrrier $4,000.
Then came the further DEVELOPMENT
Of the 'enterprise''-the mortgage of
the lots to other parties by those who
mad purchased" of Mr. Currier in
the first place, and it is these mort
cages Which are being offered in New
York, Brooklyn, Boston, Providence and
other places, for sale or in trade.
Davis mortgaged two lots to Frank w.
Clapp of Worcester for 1870; 10 lots to
the same party for $4,000; two lots for
S40O; two for $2s7; two for $780, ten for
1880; thirty for S6250 % for $4,000, all to
the same party. The deeds are in the
usual form and allege that a note is
given as evidence of Indebtedness, but
the rate of interest is not given. All
these mortgages were given in the first
SIX months of 1898. The total amount
of these mortgages is $1S,O97
During the semae period Davis APP
parently disposed of considerable of his
extensive land purchases from Currier
to Charles H. Sanborn of Worcester,
Tor he executed % separate mortgages
OF lots in Windsor park according to
the description, to him. They We're as
follows: Two lots, S340; 20 lots. $4,000
TOUR lots, $1,000; two lots, 1915; two lots,
1865; 25 lots, $500; four lots, $1,000; six
lots, $1,000; two lots. $3.50; two lots $500;
four lots, $1,000; two lots, $1,000; two
lots, $500; three lots, $3.50; four lots, ST.
GOO; four lots, $1,000; two lots, $3.50; four
lots, $1,000; six lots, $500: two lots S450:
two lots, $500; four lots, $3.50; two lots,
$780, A total of $31, 976,
The mortgages from Davis to Clamp
and to Sanborn aggregate $50.O53 anC:
there is plenty Of lots left out of the
original 657. All the mortgages were
executed before William A. Warden as
notary public.
A real estate dealer in New JERSEY
recently wrote to a friend in this city
asking If the lots were worth $500 each.
He had been offered in trade mortgage
OF $3.50 on some lots in Windsor park,
located on the corner of State street and
Sufheld road, the extreme portion of the
park. After he received such infor-
nation as his friend was able to com
mumcate he replied that the day pre-
vious he was assured that the proposed
investment was A /, and that the lots
were selling for $500 each like hot
cakes. This shows the efforts which
are being made to dispose of those
mortgages.

TELEPHONE BUSINESS.
The Western Union May Compete
Against the American Bell Co.

The Western Union May Compete
Against the American Bell Co.
Mayor Dodge and Manager Dunn of
the Wesern Union Telegraph Company
had a conference yesterday afternoon
relative to the pole line in Grafton
street.
The conference was short Manager
Dunn asked that the city refrain from
cutting down any more of the poles
until Thomas Roche, superintendent of
the eastern division of the Western
Union, gets home from Europe. The
mayor gave his consent, and here the
matter rests
Mr.. Dunn is unable to enter into any
agreement without the approval of his
superior, and under these conditions
the matter will be allowed to stand nm
I'll Supt. Roche's return. The present
situation is significant of what may be
expected in the way of telephone on
position in the future. The old CON
tracts between the Western Union and
American Bell companies expired some
time ago, and there is nothing in the
way OF agreement at present to prevent
the telegraph company from doing tele-
phone business.
The connection between the Massa,
chuSetts Telephone and Telegra nh
Company and the Western Union NAV
be traced to the fact that Cakes Ames
treasurer of the Massachusetts, com
pany, is heavy stakeholder In the
western Union. The new telephone
company has extensive franchises and
has put in considerable underground
work in the city Of Boston. 1t costs
money to build pole lines for any con-
siderable distance, and the chance to
put the abandoned Boston Springfield
line into use would result in big saw
ing and result in establishment of
thorough wire between these cities at
comparatively small cost. If the West
ern Union Is to become interested in
telephone business, that would be more
natural than that they should embrace
every opportunity for economy This is
the view Of the matter taken by several
officials One man said yesterday that
in his opinion it would only be a mat
ter of few years before arrangements
will be perfected whereby a person can
use either telephone or telegraph at
every Western Union Office In the coun-
try.
1t would be a comparatively easy
matter for the Western Union to es-
tablish long distance connection with
every part of the country, where their
wires run today. Such system would
prove an immense advantage to indie
pendent local companies, which would
thus be provided with long distance
service without the cost incidental to
long distance construction.
On the other hand, there is nothing to
prevent the old line telephone compa-
mics doing a telegraph business, and 1t
is safe to say that should the Western
Union branch into the telephone busl-
ness 1t would be but short time be-
fore telephone wires would be carrying
telegraph messages.
