Growth of Suburbs About the Repuh-
 lies Capital.
 There is a continual investment being made here by far-seeing people in su- burban lots. and the upward tendency in price insures a good profit to careful buyers. Atzcapotzalee, a suburb la nous for the softness and purity of it's air, is experiencing a genuine building boom. This most ancient town was, In days before the Spanish conquest, the home of the Indian gold and silver smiths. Their really exquisite work was sold at the weekly fair in this city, on the now vacant land in front of the general post-office, where the coming National Theatre is to be built. Popo- tia and Santa Maria, which many of us can remember as struggling villages, are fast being built up into metropoli- tan annexes.
 Tidiman, with it's abundant water supply and picturesque surroundings, is growing continually. and more and more people are going to live there all the year round. It is a very healthy suburb; and the electric cars make it accessible. Coyoacan, where the Con- quistador Cortes built his rural resi- dence. and which in former times had so warm a climate as to permit the growing of sugar cane, has become a handsome town of modern houses, often of great size and luxurious furnishing. Land has advanced here, one may say, by the one thousand per cent. It is a town of comfort and refinement, and its 1 gardens are large and delightful.
 The formerly vacant spaces between Tacubaya and Mexico are vast being built up, and the frequent train ser vice make lots very desirable. San Pe- dro de los Pinos already has a large foreign residential population, and is destined to grow rapidly. Mixcoac is l fast becoming a small city, and is 8 favorite place of residence. Between Mixcoac and San Angel are the higf i lands around the station of La Gina with commanding views and the fresh est of air. At this point new houses l have gone up, and large "colonia" is I planned. Lands in that region are. go ing to be very valuable. San Angel formerly a ''temporada" suburb exclu. sively. is noted for it's extensive gar 1 dens and huerhas. It has the advan. tage of two electric lines to the capital one direct, the other via Coyacan, ant its local government is energetic ant progressive. Houses of large size ant cost are building. or have just beer completed in the "hill suburb" and lot have advanced from one hundred tt tl three hundred per cent. in. the last tw, or three years.--Mexican Herald.
