Lots For Sale in Same Tomorrow.
Brown, Gilbert & Winton are lay-
ing out new addition just east of
their Spring addition and east of and
bordering on Alexander park. They
expect to have the survey and stalking
out completed by tomorrow. Have
you been up to their Spring addition?
If not, you have missed the most
beautiful sight that can be had from
any point about Wausau. This addi-
tion is located on the northern part
OF what was once the east side Parch-
er farm. Its south line joins the
grounds of St. Mary's hospital
and the west line is on Sixth
street. Each lot contains an acre of
ground and the view of the river, of
the valley and of the city, is beauti-
full beyond description.
This is bound to become popular
residence section. In the first place
the owners have been generous with
their land and have laid out two parks
in this addition. One nearly in the
center, 100xl50 feet. This contains
a large spring, which has been walled
up with cement, and there is flow
of pure, cold, sparkling water suffic-
lent to supply all who build homes in
this addition. This park has plenty
of large trees to make it delightful
spot. The other park in this addition
contains four acres of as heavily tim-
bered ground as can be found, all
large naples, birch, hemlock, butter
nut, and hickory trees. Bothof these
parks have been given to the city by
Messrs. Brown, Gilbert and Winton.
At present, work is going on improy-
ing both parks. The larger one has
been underbrushed, trees trimmed,
etc. The smaller one is being planted
to shrubbery and hedges, arranged
for flower beds; roads and paths built,
all in charge of Mrs. w. III. Nablo.
Bordering on this addition on the
north, is the Alexander park, which
will, In time, become one of the pref
tiest and most charming of any in
Wisconsin. Handsome drives are
being laid out, and the land cleared.
Jim Moore creek passes through it.
Here, too, is one of the oldest and
best known springs in the north,
known as Jim Moore spring. 1t has
been walled up with cement in the
shape of horse shoe, having the toe
and heel calks on it.
The banks of the creek have been
cleared up and all the logs and rub
bish removed. A dam is to be built
at its mouth so as to raise the water.
This will form quite good sized lake
and on the banks of which there will
be bathing beach. So the Brown,
Gilbert & Winton addition is well
supplied with natural parks which
only need the touch of the hand of
man, here and there, to make them
far more enchanting spots than our
citizens ever dreamed were in the
valley.
Opposite Spring addition, lying be-
tween tilc railroad and the river, is
strip of land sufficient to give each of
the owners of lots place for boat
house, but it is proposed to join
and put up building large enough
for all. During the past summer all
the bOoms and sunken logs were re-
moved from the river, so that boating
from the falls to Brokaw could not be
bettered. From the start it was the
Intention of the owners of Spring ad-
dition, to make it very desirable
residence district, and in this they have
been very successful. Lots have been
sold only to those whom it was
known would make good neighbors
and who would live in peace and har-
mony with others. Practically all of
the lots in this addition have been
sold and the clamor has been so great
for more building sites that Messrs.
Brown, Gilbert and Winton have de-
cided to plat two more forties, one
bordering on the beautiful Alexander
park and the other east of their spring
addition. These are covered with a
fine growth of timber and there are
no prettier residence sites in Wausau
than can be found there.
One purchaser in the Spring addition
said; 'Wel, / am not going to pur-
chase any lumber for my residence
until the street car is built up here"
One of the officers of the company
standing near replied: "Then you
might as well place your order now"
Which means that the street cars
will be running up there next season.
If that is the case, now is the time to
buy, for next year there will be an in
crease of perhaps 100 per cent.
