BEAUTIFUL TOWN SITE.
Sabraton Has AN Ideal Location
in Every Respect.

Accessible to MorgantoNn, TO New
Factories and to Coal and Coke
Works viii be Reached BY Street
Car Line.
A town site OF rare beauty, and
with many advantages in its favor
not found elsewhere, is being improv-
ed on the Addison farm overlooking
the many acres of new factories TO be
built along the Deckers Greek Valley
Nature has been lavish ia her work
of making a desirable location for
both the mills and the residence town.
The work of skilled engineers is com
pleting the job, and making this sub
urb now known as Sabraton an ideal
place for pretty homes.
There are more than four hundred
lots being laid out there. Streets are
being graded by Col Gilmore, and a
great amount of work is being done
clearing eff the farm ready for build
ings to be erected.
Fine building stone is quarried
right in the midst of the farm. 1t
can be gotten here in quantities sGffi-
Gent to build whole town of stone
houses If it is desired to do it, Lum-
Der can be unloaded from the car right
on the edge Of the town, placing cost
of transportation at the minimum
Sand and lime for building are fur
nished eheaply from the kilns and
quarries of Decker's creek and Ia any
quantities desired. The problem of
building here will be as easy as it is
anywhere in these busy times.
The whole group Of lots is situated
on lovely plateau, fronting east and
south, with protecting ridge on the
north and west. The drainage is per-
feet. Water from the mountain reser-
voir will be gotten here, for the site
is right on the line of the water pipes
from the reservoir in the mountains to
the new tanks to be built on the
Rogers knob. The tank will be high
enough to make sufficient pressure
for good protection from fire.
Sabraton is now accessible over one
of the finest new avenues leading out
of the city. 1t connects with th }
east end of Wiley street, leads out
past the old water tanks, through
the Rogers farm and out through the
White and Hrschman land to the
Addison farm. This route makes an
easy grade and a beautiful drive. The
street has already been laid out and
graded about forty feet wide, like
boulevard. it is up out Of the Deck
er's creek mud, away from all danger
from crossing and recrossing the NJ. &
K. railroad. which is necessary on the
Creek road. This street or avenue
has been laid out across the Addison
farm and on up TO the rolling mill
and other factories being erected in
the valley. 1t is away from the rail
road all the way and is an easy grade
from Wiley street to the rolling mill,
making one of the most desirable
avenues and prettiest drives leading
out from the old town.
This street will make the residence
part of the new town, Sabraton easily
accessible from all the new factories,
and will also make the new town ac-
cessible to the central business part
of the city.
The promoters Of this suburb are
assisting nature to make this one of
the finest location for homes in this
region. A lot sale will be held here
September 10th, at which time $50
lots will be sold for what they will
bring and no lots will be sold before
that time
Soon as the street car line is built
you can ride on the electric road. 1t
has been surveyed out to this suburb,
and assurances are given that the
street cars will run right through the
new town. Soon as the mills get in
full operation there will have TO be
transportation facilities provided to
get the people to and from the stores
in the old town.
