In no portion of the city is building
being more vigorously pushed than IN
enue to Broadway. For many years
building has been handicapped in; that
section because the lots have been held
lat SO high a price they really were not
on the market. In 1849.s5 the greater
part of this section was bought by st.
Louis real estate dealers, Botneau and
Chouteau. They did not dispose. Of
it,. however, and now for three gener-
passing from heir to heir, and the lots
in Northeast Minneapolis have been
used for dumping grounds and baseball
fields. But within the past two years
the lots have been placed on the market
and a marked impetus has been given
to building in this section.
"Real estate in Northeast Minneap-
oils has increased in value about 30
per cent in the last two years. says
