retail business street. This is recog.
nized as the section OF the downtown
district that is likely TO show the
greatest advance within the next few
years. The new buildings now in pro-
gress and projected for this section
OF the business district assure its
future as a retail trade center.
Another section that has shown in
dications of being transformed into a
business district is the region north
OF Michigan-ave., between Washing
ton-blvd., and Cass-st. There have al
ready been some buildings put up in
this part of the city that Indicate a
tendency in that direction, and it is
probable that the next ten years viii!
see as much Of an expansion In that
region as the past ten have witnessed
in the Broadway section.
The street in the western downtown
district that has shown the greatest
advance as business street Is Wash
ington-blvd., which is well-dlled with
business houses of various sorts. IL
is likely that the bouie, ard upon this
street taking up much of the space
tend to hinder commercial develop
ment but there Is no question but
what Washington-blvd., has big
future as a business street.
The present lines OF the city form
a sort of letter II, the top OF the let
ter extending along the river front,
while Woodward-ave., with the built
up districts upon either side OF 1t,
forms the rest of the letter. 1t is the
opinion of real estate men that the
future growth OF the city will fill ip
he interior corners, gradually bring
ing the lines OF the city limits out in
to a triangle with the base along the
river.
Much of this development awaits
the extension OF the transportation
facilities of the city to permit the
people to live at a greater distance
from the city hall. While the princi'
pal problem facing real estate men in
the development of the city Is trans
portatlon facilities, the extension OF
the watermains and sewers to the out
lying parts Is by no means unimport'
ant With the present movement to
authorize bonds for the much needed
improvements along these lines II
seems as II the problem of getting
ready for the three hundred thousand
additional population that will come
to the city within the next ten years
will be solved.
Detroit real estate is recognized as
one of the most profitable and safest

pessimistic expressions lnat came
from eastern financial centers While
little more care was exercised TO
prevent over-expansion, and there was
an occasional furry of uncertainty
the financial institutions OF Detroit
showed themselves capable OF hand
ling the situation with skill and profit,
succeeding in preventing any serious
disturbance in business. The bank
ing institutions of Detroit have shown
themselves fully capable OF keeping
up the rapid pace which the city has
set for them.

Lake Transportation Very Popular
on Great Lakes.

Service on lakes Right Up To Date
Travel on the Great Lakes IL be-
coming more popular every year. AT
no period in the worlds history has
travel by water been 80 INDUCED In,
both in business and pleasure way,
to such an extent as at the present
tine. During the past season. over
sixteen million people were carried on
the various steamers OF the Great
Lakes, over two-thirds OF which were
handled in and out OF Detroit, which
surely speaks well for the advantages
offered those living in this locality.
The principal feature which makes
lake transportation so attractive. 10
the excellent steamers which ply
their busy trades on our inland seas;
especially is thus true OF the Detroit
& Cleveland Navigation Co.'s steam
ers which have kept pace with the
times and all the improvements
known TO marine art and science, can
be found on the steamers OF their
fleet.
During the heated term one needs
but to go to the ID. & c. wharf to see
how popular the line is. Daily at
500 p. m. steamer leaves Detroit for
Buffalo, the ride down the river,
through the Lime Kiln crossing, and
across Lake Erie to Buffalo between
twilight and dawn, defies description;
daily service Is likewise operated be-
tween Detroit and Cleveland. The
objective point Is Mackinac Island.
the famous historic summer resort OF
the north country; the ever-changing
scenery along the shore line, and the
picturesque beauty Of the numerous
islands increases interest In every
mile of the journey and makes II one
OF the most pleasant and economical
vaction trips in America. Six trips
weekly are operated from Detroit TO
Mackinac Island.
The thousands who annually travel
on the Great Lakes seeking recrea-
tion and rest, are living examples or
the widespread popularity OF lake
transportation.

Clearing House have more than
doubled. In 1900 the clearings were
$427. .OO0.0 900; In 1910 the total clear
ings reported for the city were $9l5,-
100000 The clearings iigures are the
best index OF the financial growth OF
city, for practically every transaction
that takes place in the city is record
ed at some stage In the clearings fig-
ures. From the figures shown above
IL can be seen that the volume or busi-
ness transacted In Detroit has far out
stripped even the phenomenal growth
in population.
The gain In the other items that go
TO make up the bank statements has
been fully as great. Deposits have
increased from $76.13S,795 in 1900 to
sl45.00O, 900 in 1910. A substantial
portion OF this increase is in savings
deposits. These have shown a steady
gain even through the panic year. In
this connection II must be remembered
that the panic year did not mean much
TO Detroit. for the reason that the
automobile development was then
growing at its greatest rate and De-
troit workmen were kept busy making
motor cars while industries in other
cities were shut down.
The capital and surplus employed In
the banking business In Detroit has
expanded TO meet the greater finan-
cial needs OF the city. In 1900 the
total capital employed In the banking
in Detroit was SS.S15,100, and In 1910
this total had increased to $19,130,000.

DETROIT GROWTH
AS A BANKING
CENTER
Clearances in 1910 Were $9l5, ,000,-
600, Compared To $427 ,000,00
In 1900, or Increase of Nearly
so Per Cent.
For Every Dollar That Changes Hand
in Michigan, A Dollar Changes
Hand in Detroit

The Importance Of Detroit as a
banking center can best be realized
from the statement that every time a
dollar changes hands in the rest of the
state OF Michigan another dollar
changes hands in Detroit. In other
words the banking business OF the
city OF Detroit is as large as the en-
tire business done by the rest OF the
state When one considers the vol
ume OF mining. numbering. farming
and manufacturing interests repre-
sented in the state OF Michigan out

the magnitude OF the business done
