NAPLES ROAD IS NOW
READY FOR TRAFFIC
OFFERS SPLENDID ROUTE TO
AUTOMOBILES
Highway Is Mile and Halt Long and
Graded to Height of Six Feet
Above Level of Tide
Lands

Work of oiling and graveling the new
road into Naples began last week, and
by today the new highway built by the
county will be in readiness for auto
mobile traffic. This has been a big
piece of road making. The road Is
fully a mile and half long. and has
been graded to a height OF SIX 1eet
above the level of the tide lands across
which it passes. 1t is forty feet across
the top, and is built of clay soil, which
will be graveled and oiled until 1t Is
as near like an asphalt surface as is
possible with this material. Ultimately
1t will be macadamiZed by the county
good roads commission.
Preparations have been made TO pave
Toledo way, running east and west
through Naples, with asphalt. Part al
ready has been built and the extra
length will be laid down to connect
with the auto road and bring tourists
up to the steps of the new hotel.
Important developments looking TO
the Improvement of Naples by outside
capital are under way, which may re-
suit in considerable activity within the
next few months. AS has been noted.
there have been extensive building
plans mapped out for the beautiful city
of the red-tiled roofs. These have been
slightly held up because owners OF
property adjacent to Naples had been
asked to come In and aid the enter
prise, and failed to do so after making
promises. The construction of a sub
stantial concrete pavilion and num-
ber of houses along the bay front are
among the things outlined in the prof.
ect e
Fifteen additional electroliers have
been placed along the bay front and
will be wired for electricity within the
next week and Immediately placed In
commission, adding much to the beauty
of the place at night.

BUSINESS DISTRICT
ENLARGES BOUNDARY
ALL NEW BUILDINGS BEYOND
OLD LIMITS
Predictions Are That in Five Years
Business Center Will Be Near
Seventh Street and
Broadway

It is notable fact that there is
scarcely a building under construction
in the retail district between Temple
street on the north, Sixth street on
the south, Hill street on the west and
Main street on the east. The only
improvement going on in the north
part is the postoffice building. In the
district lying south of Sixth street a
number of fine buildings are under
construction; the Nelson Story build
ing at Sixth and Broadway, ten stories;
the George w. Walker Temple of Art,
on Grand avenue near Seventh, six
stories; the Hamburger theater build
ing on Broadway, near Ninth street,
eight stories; the Pacific Mutual In
surance building at Sixth and Olive
streets, five stories; the Champion
building on South Broadway, between
Seventh and Eighth streets. four
stories; the M. A. Newmark building,
on Spring street, south of Seventh
street, four stories; the Robert Marsh
building on Main street, near Eighth,
two stories: the Fitz E. Beach build
ing at 50S-5l9 South ill street, three
stories; and the one-story brick store
buildings for ]. D. Hooker and Will
liam Garland, the former at Ninth
and Broadway, to contain ten store
rooms, and the latter on the east side
of Broadway. just north of Eighth
street, with a frontage of 100 feet.
There are also two brick garage build
ings under construction in the same
district.
AS an illustration of the trend of
the business district toward the juno
tion of Main and Tenth streets, the
foregoing is sufficient to base a guess
that in five years the center of the
business district will be nearer Sew
enth and Broadway than at any other
point.
