There is great interest manifest among
our business men in the completing OF
the splendid road now being built from
this city to Southport, and this interest
Il is hoped will continue to increase, but
there is one other very great business
interest not recently touched upon which
should command the attention and deep
est interest of every citizen of this city
and it is the proposition of developing
In some way more residential property.
There are not enough cottages to accom-
modate the present population, and it is
an actual fact that there is scarcely a
day when someone is not making lnqul
nv of US for place to rent, and not In
frequently to buy. Would it not be
good plan if some concerted action Cd
the part Of property owners, looking to
wards the upbuilding of the city in
mechanical way by getting together
WI YOUR improved property and plac
ing it on the market and helping in ev-
ery way possible, to get the city on sc
substantial basis that there will be nc
ouestlon as to its stability after all the
phosphate shall have been mined. There
are very few people who get enough casf
ahead to buy their ideal of home, bu'
couldmake a cash payment, aDd follow
with small monthly payments. This /
the way the large cities do, and it is sue
cess for both the seller and purchaser.
Suppose that every person living in our
city owned their home. Do you think
there would ever be any danger Of our
city meeting an untimely death when
our great industry OF mining and ship
ring phosphate shall have ceased opera
tlonP Hundreds of families living here
would own their own homes were it pos
sible to obtain them on terms as offered
by real estate firms in the cities. 1t If
true we have a Land and Improvement
Company who own few acres OF i'm
proved property which is for sale, but
no great effort is made to have it i'm
proved. No great inducements are Of
fered. What we need is good strong
real estate firm with plenty OF capital
to take hold of vacant property and erec'
thereon for purchasers desirable homes
for them on easy terms. Look where you
will, substantial towns and thriving cit
les are those whose citizens generally
own their own homes. There will come
a time when we shall look upon the
phosphate industry right here as thing
Of the past, and some move should be
made which will add to the stability OF
our town. The greatest is that OF in
ducing every citizen to purchase his own
home. Every citizen would then be vi
tally interested in the upbuilding and
future success of the city, and would
naturally work for the location here OF
industries necessary to the welfare OF
the city and country. Who will encour
age a movement looking toward the
more substantial growth of our city and
say | will use my money and influence
to make our city reach the 10000 mark
by 1910?
