A we'll known business man said to me
few days since: "Mr. Emmans how
many of your homes in Green's additions
nave gone under foreclosure during your
operations there?" My indignant reply
was: mot one; for foreclosures and prac-
teal restrictions have always been at
swords points, and where such restric-
lions are maintained foreclosures do not
come. Right here will say that if L am
permitted to live long enough to convince
the community at large Of the value of
practical restrictions in residence sections,
l will feel that have not lived in vain. :
restrictions also keep out selfish peo-
pie who are not only willing, but often
pride themselves, in making petty gain
at the expense. of their neighbors; for ex :
ample, in placing their homes a little
nearer the street for a better view, and
thereby destroying the symmetry of the
street and shutting off their: neighbors'
view; Or In placing a house flush with

Without restrictions a man may build any
place on his lot that he will, and any kind
OF a house for any purpose, and thus may
always nave 1t in his power to annoy and
1nJure his neighbors. The result of such
latitude is seen in high board fences, envy,
malice, retaliation and revenge, disaster,
decreased values and mortgage fore
closures. The practical definition of re-
strictions is "We must be fair and do

THE HOMES
Building Restrictions a Good Thing
for the Buyer, Says N. H.

=. = - ---- -
They Insure Steady Values, Prevent

20 Satisfaction. .".

N. H. Emmans, proprietor and promoter
of the Green's additions to Minneapolis
has successfully applied certain original
ideas on real estate restrictions, with a
knowledge Of their effect on values. in ex-
plotting this beautiful part Of the city
which has become one of the most desir-
able. residence sections in either st. Paul
or Minneapolis. Starting with a beautiful
plateau of 157 acres, Mr.: Emmans has
inserted in the contract for the sale of
each lot provisions which insured that
each house should stand thirty-fve feet
from the street line and nine feet off the
north line each structure to be at least
a full sized, eight-room building for resi-
dence purposes Only and to cost not less
than a specified sum. The district has
developed SO rapidly that it is now the
largest residence area In the city where
uniform restrictions have been enforced
and the results are quickly apparent on
the first view of the additions
Mr. Emmans' ideas are here given in
statement prepared by him for publica-
ton at T h e o urna al s request:
: Not long since was out in Green's with
a prospective customer, and while we
were standing at the intersection of Doug
las and Irving avenues looking south, my
friend remarked: "Mr. Ernmans, am
anxious to learn the real power which
forces these ideal regula tons, with every
them, without a single exception such
beautiful homes, too, which is so unusual
in Minneapolis" r.
I replied: Simply practical and uni
form building restrictions"
But said he, .if restrictions did all
this on the south side Of Douglas, why
were they not just as effective on Irving
avenue, North of Douglass"
I answered: well, am sorry to say
that the owners Of vacant property in
Lakeview north of Douglas, did not unite
in restrictions
He replied: ooh, yes, see, I see, said
the blind man, see; some little homes, a
corner reversed on, and a barn filled with
horses, without.a house on the lott
Quite right said I, "and it is perfectly
scandalous the, people who buy property
for homes are imposed on in almost every
part of the city Too frequently it hap
pens that a man no. sooner gets a nice
home built in beautiful residence section
than along comes somebody with an OBJ

am impressed with the business activity
apparent everywhere-in the hustling
crowds on your streets and In the tenn

on the men who make it up, not altogether
on natural resources. Here they make
business. It's a great town. : T.
