nor for such high price as another lot
less favorably situated, but having per-
manent improvements i'm front of it. Rapid
transit and picturesqueness become insig-
nificant when a few hours rain has con-
verified the street in front of a lot into
stretch of mud; and people will even
avoid the locality on sunny days because
of the memory of unpleasant experiences
in bad weather.
SOME FAMILIAR INSTANCES.
Paved streets and sidewalks DO add a
great deal to the value of residence prop
erty, and this increase is of perma-
rent nature when the improvement work
is well done. This proposition is so self
evident that it is surprising it is not gen
orally accepted. All the same, many
property-owners regard street and side
walk assessments as nothing less than
a calamity, form of confiscation. 1t
cannot be denied that such assessments
are often burdensome for the time being
at least, but it is equally true that they
bring much more to the owner in the
course of time than, they exact from him.
There are elegant residences in portions

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, JAN. "a. 1906.
Improvement Is Investment.

There is a curious analogy between the
anatomy of city and that of the human
body. Streets and avenues decay if peo-
pie do not circulate in them freely, just
as the arteries of the body become afro
phied unless the circulation of the blood
is unobstructed.
ACCESSIBILITY THE BASIS
All know that the value of a business
location is largely dependent upon the
number of people who pass that way, but
everybody does not realise that the same
condition applies to residence property,
the basis of the value of which is access
siblty. This accessibility is of two
klnds--that afforded by street cars and
that which makes the property easy of
reach by pedestrians and vehicles. The
two kinds of accessibility are nearly equal
in Importance, and neither can be ignored
in the selection of lot for home building
purposes. A lot may be on a corner where
street cars pass every five minutes, but
unless that lot is fianked by graded streets
and sidewalks it will not sell so readily

One of the most astute private owners
of property said not long ago that street

the price of much of his holdings from

suits of improvements are an immediate
and constantly growing demand for the
property and a speedy enhancement of its

of this proposition remains in the mind of
the reader, let him ask which of the
suburban towns are growing faster, and
he will be told those In which street and

AS a matter of fact, street and side

investments, which cannot fail sooner or
