the city of Grinnell was opened on the
south and named Lincoln Park addi-
ton. Lots were sold on favorable
terms and almost the entire addition
was sold in few hours on the opening
day Since that time a dozen or more
modest houses have been built there
and the working men who own the
lots are ceasing to pay rent and are
paving for homes of their own. The
city is now taking hold of the new adj
dition and putting in public improve
nents in the way of tile drainage much
needed in some low places tho the
most Of the plat is high and dry. This
promises in the near future to be one
Of the most important additions to the
c;tv for the employees Of the factories

ate priced homes near to their place
Of euplovrnent and with the advantage
of good drainage.
