acre tract of land which lies between
Sixth and Eighth avenues west of
Washburn avenue" said the secretary
of the Elmhurst Investment company
today, land the opening of the tract
will take place october Is or Novem-
Der I.
1.-THE underbrush is being cleared
out and a. surveyor is out there pre-
paratory to our starting the work of
plating the addition.
There will be no alleys. but the
streets will be about 800 feet apart
and there will be a driveway on either
side of the stream popularity known as
Wards creek, which runs through the
property. We expect to make the creek
an asset. for it gives US a, natural ad-
vantage that with a very little expense
deep stream and after clearing out the
channel there will be practically no
danger of overlooking.
I'VE expect to divide the 40 acres
into tracts that will contain from 25,-
600 to $4,000 square feet. Four foot
cement side walks will be built on each
side of the street.
In all there will be something like
$4,000 square feet of sidewalks which
would total about two and one-half
Iinea1 miles. The walks will be put in
on the edge of the streets which viii
leave a yard inside the walks for parks.
There will be a system of brilliant
electric lights or vapor lamps to light
the streets. Our transfers of titles will
be surrounded with restrictions which
will assure to buyers a beautiful
home" The officers of the company
which will launch the property are:
vice president; F. z. Parr, secretary,
and W. c. Glen, treasurer.
