TRACT MAY
BE PLATED
RAILROAD COMPANY SELLS Sew
ENTITY ACRES IN EASTERN PART
OF TOWN TO CHEYENNE.
Price Paid 10 Two Hundred and Fifty
Dollars an Acre and Likely New
Owners Will Place 1t on Market
Some Of the Doin9s in Local Rail-
road Circles.

John H. Symons, local agent for the
land department of the Union Pacific,
has been notified Of the sale to Chey-
enne parties, whose names did not
accompany the notice of sale, of the
seventy acres owned by the company
in the eastern section of the city, be-
ing the undivided portion of the south
east quarter Of section 33, township
16, range q. The tract lies approx
imately between Eleventh and Six
teenth streets and Sheridan and Ere
mont streets. on both sides Of Grand
avenue. extending from the McMur-
ray residence to the st. Joseph's hos
pital tract and from the university
tract south to nearly Park avenue.
The price paid was $3.50 an acre. Mr..
Symons was not so definitely informed,
but he surmises that the tract will be
plated and placed on the market, the
city being asked to lay out the streets
and alleys and assume Jurisdiction.
Owned for Thirty Years.
The land has been owned by the
railroad company for the past thirty
years. and within the past year or
two there has been talk Of plating
the tract and making a new addition
to the city. but the transfer relieves
the company Of that duty and places
1t upon the new owners. AS soon as
the deeds are filed the names Of the
purchasers will be made known, and
perhaps their intentions in the matter.
There is the probability of a good deal
of building in hat section within the
next year or two. as some of the pro-
posed new lots will be among the pref
tiest and handiest in the eastern Sec
ton Of the city. The tract has been
plated and much of 1t sold between
Eleventh and Thirteenth streets and
as far south al Thirteenth and Gar
fields streets.
