WONDERFUL POSSIBILITIES
 IN RESIDENCE PROPERTIES
tBY F. L. TooMBs,

will it attracts If the property in ques- then it will be occupied only by a class of occupants of such limited means as to preclude the possibility of buying in more attractive and high priced district Tn such locality it is evident then, that prices will only advance as a result of such growth of population as to cause competitive buying to raise prices to the very limit possible to the class of occupants. On the other hand if the land is especially desirable or is made so desirable as to appeal to the wealthier class, price will only be limited by the demand for property. This accounts for the fact that suburb an property often sells for prices far beyond the most fattering predictions.
 To begin with, some operator selects the district most favorable in contour, location, appearance and other charac- teristics commenting it to the class of occupants for which it is best suited. His next step is to place such restric- ton on the land as to obviate unat- tractive conditions from springing ID. A plan is then worked out, with the end of bringing out the most that is in the ground, in the way of attractive features. It is made accessible by the grading of streets, the building of bridges, etc. It is made to appear to advantage by influencing the occupants to build attractive Improvements, best suited to the locality. In various ways systematic effort prepares the section for the best class of residents, obtain able.
 After this is done the principle eff fort is naturally in the way of adver- tisement of keeping this particular sec tion constantly before the public as the particular section to be desired; so as to induce competitive buying
 This leads us up to the second gen eral cause in the appreciation of values.
 Given q particular district eminently suited for the occupancy of a certain class The ultimate or maximum value possible for property in this district is evidently going to be the limit which the wealth of the occupant will impose on him. How near values will ever ap- proaeh this limit will depend very largely on the competitive spirit in
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1909-01-10
RAPID INCREASE IN VALUES IS ENTIRELY WARRANTED IN
 THIS COMMUNITY

Last week E article treated entirely of values in the business district. This week l will treat of values in the resi- dence districts.
 The values in residence property are influenced by more varied causes than in business property, but as general basis two leading factors in price mak- ing stand out as leaders.
 First-The income of the resident or prospective resident.
 Second-The number of residents de- sirous of obtaining property in given locality.
 Taking up the former: We note in the beginning that home builder of large means is inclined to expend in the erection of his home sum which would be entirely beyond the reach of the man of small means.
 A man who has an income of several thousand dollars feels no hesitancy in expending thousands of dollars in build ing his home. While the man of small means must be content to own more modest structure with less grounds, etc.
 Thus the incomes of the residents of any city naturally divides the city into different sections, each section oceu' pied principally by residents whose means will permit of homes of such . cost as are found in that particular neighborhood. The improvident occupy sQualid tenements. The intelligent la boring man buys his home in the best location his income will allow. The small business man goes little further and provides his family with more ex- pensive home, and so on up the line from the man who must of necessity limit the cost of home to few hundred dollars to the man of huge fortune who pays from $l00,000 up for the site on which he is to erect his palatial home. The income of the occupant governs the price of the property.
 One of the underlying features that will govern the value of a property, then, must be: what class of occupants

duced, extent of the demand for proper ty. If the demand for property in this particular district becomes so strong as to produce keen competition for b. cations, then it is only natural that prices should go upward by great bounds.
 Applying these principles to our own case, let us take . short review of prices in Globe and conditions governing the same.
 To begin with, prices for realty in Globe should be higher in any class of property than in city of the same size where wages are lower. The cheapest class of property, that occupied by the class receiving the smallest pay, has possibilities far beyond the present lev el. There are few among our citizens so poorly paid as to prevent them from paying very reasonable prices for prop erty.
 Again the largest class of our popula- tion is the class receiving not less than $3.50 per day. Our miners and skilled laborers are intelligent, provident, bet ter paid and better able, than all but the extreme minority, in many locali- ties, to pay good prices for homes. All this insures healthy demand for the general run of residence property.
 It was very common three years since to hear the prediction that prop. erty would Ego down." Prices had advanced beyond what the careless ob- server had expected and the natural in- ference was that it was all unwarrant- ed. With large and particularly loud class this is always the case in grow ing city, That it is silly assumption in Globe is patent to any who will stop and consider. The highest priced residence property in Globe is easily within the reach of the provident miner, the man securing $3.5O per. day. Tn older communities residents who re- ceive 8 per day have homes built on lots worth from $50 to $l00 per front Continued on Page 11)
