lead them to purchase and erect homes
for themselves.
The project is looked upon very ia
vorably by workmen at the Top mil
who ind rents high and houses scarce
in the north end.
Superintendent Edward Rogers. of
the Top mill, said last night: Tho
section north of the city is an ideal
one for homes of moderate price for
workingmen, or for anyone. IT Is
away above the highest flood recorded,
is splendidly located for drainage as 1t
is SO far above the river, AFFORDS fine
view and can but be very healthiul
location.
III the city authorities but be wise
and grant entrance TO the city and the
down town district to the electric line
now being constructed through that
section there will be no question OF
its rapid growth. The locating of man
ufaeturing enterprises on the Wheeling
improvement companys properly
will OF course be great additional
source of the new suburbs prosperity,
and will create a demand for houses
of moderate rental.
The city needs new suburbs where
healthful, pleasant homes at a fair
rental can be secured by workingmen.
1t is also highly essential That tneie
be five-cent fare from Wheeling to
these new suburbs. There is no more
slightly or healthful location than that
north of the city, and with a five-eent
fare there is a great future for that
section"
