BEAUTIFUL LOCATION FOR
FASHIONABLE SUBURB,
Fort Marcy Offers Superb Site That
Will Eventually Be
Utilized.

The advantages that Santa Fe Dos
sesses in it's site for becoming some
day large city are not fully appreci-
ated unless one visits the various
slopes and mesas that close in on the
narrow valley in which the city of
Santa Fe is built. With the building
activities of the past years, locations
like Buena Vista Heights and Fort
Marcy have become the most desira-
Bile locations for residences in the
city.
1t may not have been this consider
alton that has induced Ex-Governor l..
Bradford Prince tf make permanent
and much needed improvements on
top OF Fort Marcy, the brow of which
is pushed almost into the center of
the city as is the Acropolis in Athens,
but he is performing very desirable
service to the city nevertheless, for
practically every tourist or visitor
goes to the top of the old fort or
should go, for from it is gained the
most superb vista of snow-capped
mountains, lovely wales, mesas and or
city to be had anywhere. One person,
in his enthusiasm, has declared it the
most beautiful view in the world, and
even President Roosevelt, as he stood
on the brow of the hill looking over
the ancient, picturesque city uttered
an exclamation OF delight.
The improvements that have been
made consist in the construction of a
wide, well graded, well drained road
way that encircles the top OF the hill,
passing close by the bastion which is
the highest point of the old fortifica-
tions and therefore of the hill. The
earthworks, remarkably preserved de-
spite their sixty or more years, lie
to one side and will some day make
most beautiful park. The wide
driveway encircles an almost flat
mesa which could not be excelled for
the location of cottages. The ap-
proaches to the hill Lave been put in
much more passable condition and the
city should not neglect to widen and
grade the main road to the fort nor
should it postpone the opening of
