cess 10 the property which Is now being

pears that an excellent start has been

sin the erection of homes there.

bench additions extend as far north as
Tenth South. 30 that distance OF only
five blocks intcrvenes between the two
improved points, Up 10 the present time.

sion Of the car line Will doubtless he fol-
lowed shortly by nm added impetus in

development of the cast bench from
Twelfth South northwnid and from South
Tcmplc southwark. Including the bcnuti-
ful addition OF Federal Heights has taken
place within TWO years, In the face Of
somewhat adverse conditions Of which
lack of transit facilities is one Of the
most prominent. and it is pointed OUT that

Thirteenth East and The paving Of Main
street and Eleventh South. It will un-
doubtcdly he followed with much
stronger and moro rapid movement of de-
tho bench. That the sections lying along
tile streets improved will benefit greatly
