The thriving and tceming trans-Hudson

The recent building transformations III
Newark have not escaped tho notice OF
big realty investors and spectators.
Nearly every part OF the city is strong
speculative zone. There Is wholesome
activity, property Is on more stable IN
come basis and enhancement OF values In
the near future is likely to be of a spec
tacular character. Pessimistic brokers
and traders are few In number.
What is worrying some spectators Is
their inability TO decide which Is the most
favorable section for their operations.
This Is due 10 the general roseato out
look, tho present and probable realty
measurements OF the majority of districts
being almost similar The preference OF
many investors who have recently added
TO their Newark holdings Is for well
located properties in the business district
with the -Four Corners as Its centre.
In regard to the future of Newark,
Mayor Haussllng recently said: Every
day sees us drawing into closer CONNER
c.al and social relations with the people
OF our neighboring towns, and a keener
realization OF the fact that their interests
and ours are identical. We may be as
sured that before many years they will
realize the advantage of uniting with us.
