STUDYING THE EFFECT
Crosstown Trolley Construction Will
Probably Increase Real Estate Values.

The effect of the building of an cleo
trio line on real estate values is always
an interesting study to real estate men.

to whether the Lake street crosstown
line will bull or bear the market.

of coming activity in the district: to be
traversed by the road I.
II have always felt. that the advent
of the interurban electric line across
Lake street would increase the values
of the property to a degree along the
Syenue,' said Mr.. Fuller. II believe
where the other car. lines intersect.
The property lying between will be
somewhat affected, but as there is so
much of it,, it will be slighter increase.
II believe that the line will be used
a great deal by local people, as it is the
only crosstown line. This will doubt
less be of benefit to property along the
line. Then there will be the immense
traffic from st. Paul, which will bring
Lake street to the attention of more
people than have ever seen it before.
