Prediction of Growth Fulfilled.
In last years suburban edition of The
Times the remarkable growth of Cleve-
land Park was set forth and there were
some predictions about what would hap

every city to grow IN popularity and
attractiveness by leaps and bounds
Cleveland Park is mentioned as spc-

lection, water. sewerage. and city mai
delivery. And TO cap all This there is tc
