started at the South End and many
buildings are being planned for. The
building Of the new Consolidated car
barn, Clark University Library, and
other semi-public structures and doz-
en- tenement houses has attracted at
tention. Good property is at a pre-
MUM, from Clark University to the
Leicester line, where there is consid-
cradle activity.
The construction of a double line OF
railway on Stafford Street from South
bridge Charlton, GAINESVILLE, Stoneville
and Rochdale to Webster Square has
helped to augment the boom. Sales
are active, and ON Richards Street
alone there have been three sales in
about as many weeks. The new high
school on Richards Street has created
demand for tenements among many
people.
The talk of building the new Union
Station at the South End when the
grade crossing question is settled is
having effect
Property in the vicinity of Webster
Square is in demand and several deals
are in hand Land values have in
creased in New Worcester way fully 10
per cent. within the past five years.
Now that the Consolidated Railway Co
is building the new car barn at Gates
. Lane, values in tenement property have
greatly increased in that locality, as
the demand for tenements Is consider
able among railway employees, ana
shrewd real estate investors are look
ing for available sites. 1t is predict

u ing going on in the vicinity of Web
ster Square, next year.
Three Spencer men have guaged the
tendency of the market at New WOr-
cester and have invested in that To-
cality: H w. Goddard, John O'Gara
and Isaac D. Achim. Mr.. O'Gara has
recently bought four acres of land on
Main Street, near Gates Lane, and Is
rapidly grading the tract into shape for
building purposes. Isaac D. Achim, Of
the Peoples Ice Company, who came
to Worcester from Spencer, has invest
ed in New Worcester real estate, and
has purchased a choice business prop
erty on Webster Street. Mr.. Achim is
good buyer and Is reported to have
got a tremendous bargain. He bought

William c. Barnard of Oakland
Street, who Is known as one of the
most conservative real estate men In
Worcester predicts a prosperous flu
ture for New Worcester property. Mr.
Barnard is negotiating with big Wor-
cester concern for a sale of part of his
land for manufacturing purposes. Mr.
Barnard received g. generous offer to
sell part of his land to the Swedish
Cemetery Association, but declined.
The fact that some Of Worcester's
greatest industries lie very close to
New Worcester helps to boom property
in that part Of the city, and the Spen-
Ger Wire Company. Powell & Wood
ward Planer Company, Curtis Manufac-
turing Company, L. Goes & Co. Wrench
Company, Crompton & Knowles Loom
Works, and Others are some Of these.
H. W. Goddard, president of the Spen-
Ger Wine Company was one of the
first business men to foresee the great
business advantage of New Worcester
property. Mr. Goddard came to Wor
cester from Spencer and bought acres
of land on Webster Street and has
established the biggest Independent
wire plant in New England.
Hon Ledyard Bills pet project for
building an electric line to Paxton from
Worcester has attracted considerable
attention to property in Paxton and
number of sizable transactions are al
ready under way. The promise of a
trolley line to suDersede the Paxton
overland mail stage route has given a
boost to desirable property there.
