SHORE PROPERTIES INCREAs. j ING RAPIDLY IN VALUE
Fortunes Being Made Along the
 Coast Today.

Practically the entire shore front be- tween Bridgeport and New Haven has been developed during the. past few years and today there are only one or two tracts where lots can be ,pur- chased at a low figure There lis a constantly increasing demand and a decreasing supply. It is impossible to say how high values will go under these conditions. Shore fronts sell at so a front foot and property in the rear which is cheap now will soon catch sup in values
 "A plot purchased today on the easy payment plan; should double .in value by the time it is paid for, while be- sides this the purchaser has the use of it all the time. At Pond Point Beach, Milford, for instance, tents or bungalows can be erected when first payment is made.
 The Jas. Jay Smith Co.,. were able to, purchase e63 plots here very cheap and are consequently. offering them at bargain A number of these plots have already been sold and the balance will not last long at present prices. This company has developed several great properties along the Sound and the early investors always make big profits
 During the past few years many for tunes have been made along the coast and there are still greater ones to be madess Ten years from now mosuili- toes will be entirely eliminated along the shore front, for each year sees more marsh land drained and pools filled With the mosquitoes gone the sllore's only detrfment will have been renoved and there will be a greater demand than ever for property.
 Bankers and Trust companies are seeking mortgages on shore properties as good investments and there is no trouble in obtaining loans
