Just Completed.

AS soon as the season opens sufficiently
SO that the weather will permit outside

started which will involve the expenditure
of about a half million of dollars. 1t is
proposed to erect on q couple of squares
one hundred three-story houses. The be-
ginning of this important undertaking
has just been made by the purchase by
Harry Wardman. an extensive builder OF
this city. OF two squares of ground on the
east side of 18th street two squares north
of Park road. which is the entrance to
the Soldiers Home grounds from the
west.
The deal for the ground was made by
the Simpson-Sullivan Co., In connection
with L. s. Fristoe. real estate broker. and
Involves the purchase from the Mattingly
estate. represented by A. 8. Mattingly
and 4. I. Sewers trustees. of two squares
Of ground on the east side of 18th street

In addition to these frortages the prop
erty has also a frontage on the north side
OF Newton street. and there is another

by MIR. Wardman to begin as soon pos
sibfe the erection of 100 three-story
houses
The Expenditure.
The cost O. the ground as represented
by the purchase price to the owners of
the property was $4,000. and the eXpen-
diture on account of the erection of the
houses will bring up the total outlay 10
half million dollars. 1t is supposed the
houses will be placed on the market at
prices from $3.50 to $1,000
This enterprise will not be a new eX-
perience for Mr. Wardman. as he has
built great many houses OF late years
in this city. both in the Bloomingdale

as apartment houses. At the present time
he has begun the erection of twenty
houses on the square adjoining to the
south the property above mentioned, and
