End.
Much has been written and said re.
GENTLY as toIthe pressing need of Amer
icus for a street railway system, and the
reasons set forth are more forcibly I'M
pressed every day. One Of the most
potent of these il the necessity of rem

erty for residerca lots Americas is
now thickIy built up, handsome homes
lining all of her residence streets, and
there are no vacant lots available which
can he had at price within he reach
of the average Investor. Central real
estate, under prosperous conditions ex-
listing in Americas, has advanced to the
highest value ever known, and many
holders do not care to sell even at the
fancy figures offered. This fact retards
the city's growth, and those who would
build homes here and become citizens
must 60 the suburbs where lands are
much cheaper. and to encourage this
step, the question of rapid transit looms
up. For 10000 or S25, OOOa street rail-
way circuit five miles in length can be
constructed, and such investment
would add $780, 900 to the property
values in Am CIRCUS within a year or
two. Let the business men Of the city
take up the matter among themselves
aud, without depending upon outside
assistance, organize a company and
build the line themselves. The growth
of Americas must be advanced; not
retarded.
