living In crampcd quarters In tclimond

In reply to this question let us relate
tlie experience OF householder, several
years ago he determined to purchase =
LOT and build a house outside OF the coll-
restcd city. He went to Barton Heights
anu was delighted with the situation.
The location was ideal, but he finally
built his house in the western Suburbs
Why? Because he was not Mt all sure
or the future of Barton Heights. lie ga
not know what was to become OF that
settlement, whether or not IT would nave
city conveniences, good schools and quick
transportation. 1t was an uncertain
,,uantity and he was unwilling to invest
his money In property Of doubtful value
Bu, lie knew that propertyNin the West
End of Richmond was in the line of I'M
provement; that sooner or later 1t would
have all the convcnicnces and advantages
of the city and naturally would enhance
In value. In this he was not wrong, Tor
the city convenienccs have come and the
property Is worth to-day double what 1t
cost.
we do not mean to disparagc properly
In Barton Heights. for 1t is desirable prop
crty, but everybody remembers that wnen
the promoter deserted Barton Heights nc
left the community in most precarious
situation. Barton Heights has recover
cd and is now a prosperous town, but Is
future will never be assured until 1t be-
comes part and parcel Of the corporation
Of Richmond. When that Is accomplish
ed citizens Of Richmond win feel safe
to purchase lots and build houses and
make their homes in that attractive
suburb. 1t would be the best thing pos
sible for Barton Heighst.
