SPRING ACTIVITY
IN THE SUBURBS
Surroundings Of Wilmington
Are ideal For Home
Sites
DYELOPING MANY PLACES

There is probably no city in this sec
tion Of the country that possesses more
advantages for suburban homes than
Wilmington Il is true that some places
especially along the Hudson river may
have more beautiful scenery. but there
is no lack OF the picturesque in the sur
roundings Of Wilmington, with It's woods
and streams as an outlook.
Along the Delaware river, and on the
hills along the Newport turnpike, the
Concord turnpike and In fact in all di-
rectlons radiaung from Wilmington, the
conditions are ideal for the erection and
establishment Of suburban home either
on a small lot or on plot up to several
acres ia size. which seems 20 have become
popular.
Possibly the scarcity in moderate sized
dwellings In Wilmington may have some
thing to do with the trend toward the
country. with its fields and ts fresh air
which makes city folks feel that they
arc getting "close 70 nature when they
get In tho suburbs
The railway facilities now offered from
Wilmington to the suburbs are as good
as any city can boast, and the lines go In
all directions. The Concord turnpike Sec
uon is the only one now lacking the troll
ley. but project to build line out that
way has been talked OF for years.
Tho amount OF suburban development
going on az this time is really surprislns
and tho various individuals and conn
panies that make a speciality Of plotting
and selling lots within a few miles Of
wilmington report big sales and increas-
ing demands for sites for country homes.
Many Of the buyers are charmed with
the views to be had and not "a few admit
that they wish TO get into the suburbs
"to raise chickens and have a truck
patch for a diversion. Most Of the buy
crs nowadays are worldngmen, who seem
to appreciate the recreation that life amid
surroundings Of fields and woods can af-
ford them. Incidentally they figure on an
increase in property values.
Suburban real estate has developed
wonderfully in the last five years. Roselle
was the FIRST of those properties opened
and to-day it is thriving village, values
in which have increased more than two
fold since building began there Since
that time Montrose Hllcrost, Newport
Heights Richardson Park, and the
Cedars' have been opened up 10 the
home builder and each property has
built up amazingly.
To-day building operations arc active
on each of the tracts. The trolley is re-
sponslble for this now development
