The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1901-05-12
REPLY.

Savannah, Ga, May g. 1901. Dear -
-: Replying to your letter OF the 4th.
Your wife has evidently run across peo-
pie who own property in other sections
of the city and foolshly think they do
themselves good when they do this Sec
ton harm.
l do not WANT to sell these lots, but
1 am OBLIGED TO. No one appreciates
better than that IL 1t were possible for
me to hold them for one year longer 1t
would mean hundreds of dollars in my
pocket but being In a position where l
must lose my friendship has caused me
to advise you to profit by It. Show peo-
pie the location of these dots on the city
map and take a ruler and measure the
distance to Seventh street and compare
with the distance to these lots. You will
find them nearer. And think OF them
as they are, most IMPORTANT PART
OF THE CITY OF Savannah and NOT
SUBURB. When they tell you it is sick
ly tell them that a great many of the
best people In Savannah have lived there
during the past ten years, and that they
would have all been dead by this time IL
IT was sickly. If they tell you the land
is low. tell them 1t is nothing like as low
as Abercorn and Waldburg, for instance,
and that most of II is quite as high IL
not higher than any other part of the
city, and IL they don't believe you refer
them to the City Engineers office. And
for further proof say to them the Stand
ard Oil Company has a pipe line to their
works in this section and about OF a
level with these lots. The oil Flowe
Down from Bay street to Liberty and has
to be PUMPED UP to their works. II
they say the street car service is bad and
they don't Hike to wait on transfers tell
them this is abolished, or will be before
the sale, and that Habersham street
cars will go right through this section on
a regular schedule, equal. If not superior,
to any other part of the city, and with
out transfer If they don't believe you
refer them to the superintendent OF the
Electric railway. If they tell you the
drainage is poor and streets unpaved tell
them this has been because of a lawsuit
pending between the company that orig
inally owned the land and the city of
Savannah and that this has been settled
within the past two weeks; and II they
don't believe you refer them to the City
Attorney and, further, that this fall we
will have the new drainage system and
Henry street will be paved to Waters
road
Building lots as near the centre of the
city as these, among the same class of
Improvements and with the same sort of
neighbors, in other parts of the city sell
from nine to sixteen hundred dollars, and
tnese VIII go TO mat ngure in the near
future. The location of the State Fair
at Dale avenue will carry thousands of
people through this section, and when
people realize how near 1t really is there
will be a big demand for lots and prices
will go skyward.
When they tell you about the Bilbo
canal, say the completion of the drainage
work will see this Internal nuisance aboi-
ished. and that even now IL does not af-
feet these lots, except in imagination, as
the lots are blocks south of the canal,
and 1t is only the people north of Bolton
street who suffer from It,
Remember that you can get lot at
this sale on easy terms. and that you
must have lot secured and something
paid on 1t before you can build anywhere
When you do this by paying the same
S25 a month you are now paying as rent
you can own better house than you are
living In.
Yours very truly,
JOHN l.. ARCHER,
