NEW SCHEME OF
COLONIZATION

y There is a report current that
syndicate composed partly of local
,men and partly of outside capitalists
mas been formed for the purpose of
buying property along, the line of the
railroad just outside the
city limits.
The idea in doing this, it is said,
finds its origin in the fact that by
securing tracts of land close TO but
not within the city. nearly all the adj
vantages of city residence can be OBJ
stained without bearing the burden of
Wy taxation.
u According to the report it is in
ii ended to establish sufficiently
barge colony on acre and two-acre
tracts to warrant the interurban in
establishing a station adjacent to the
ftDacts. thus ensuring frequent and
convenient transportation TO the city
for business purposes or social func-
