And There Is a Promise of
Lively Trading of City Prop
erty for Farms, During the
Present Year.
WEST RICHMOND WILL
HAVE ANOTHER BOOM
Demands for Property in That
Section of the City Contin-
ue to Be as Heavy as Dur
ing the Past Year.

This spring will witness many o.
fers to trade city property for small
farm sites within easy access to the
city. There seems to be a growing
disposition on the part of many prop
erty owners to try country life. Local
real estate dealers have many requests
to secure property of this kind. Prop
rty dealers are active now and there
is promise of a real for sure rush a
few months hence.
1t looks like the old fashioned prices
would prevail in respect to real estate
in Richmond this year. Even now
there is quite little building and in
d1catlons point to a great deal more
as soon as the weather opens up. 1t
is believed that the backbone of the
winter is broken now. and with the
advent of warmer weather building
will experience very decided BOOM
Will Be General.
1t is thought that the building will
be general Throughout all sections

will be built up rapidly the coming
year it is said. That section of the
city looks much different than it did

house has been erected until at present

rect access to Richmond proper posi-
BILE, within few miutes, but as far
as the general commodities of life are
concerned, the numerous stores which
have been opened up in that section
within the past year, are amply suffi-
cient to supply the wants of all the
residents.
Many persons who have moved
across the river recently, declare that
that portion of Richmond is the most
desirable residence district in the city,
and they have been instrumental in
inducing many others to locate there
There still many vacant lots. however.
on West Main street, where a number
of houses might be profitably built and
easily rented, bringing good income
to the investor of a snug little sum. A
number of building permits have been
issued recently for the erection of
houses on the West Side. but owing to
the frozen condition of the ground
work will be delayed until spring.
