blocks, to Franklin street At the
present time the city is putting in
water mains and sewer through the
center of the right of way.
With these improvements adopted,
the property in this part of the city
is made much more desirable. DR..
Hielscher has a plan which is very
practical for the building up of that
section of Mankato. He proposes
that the city, park the old railroad
right of way and put in good
drive on each side The property
facing the park will then be desir-
able for good residences and will
increase the value of the adjoining
property, on which there are now
houses. This plan is one which is
being used along Summit avenue in
st. Paul and that section of st. Paul
is one of the finest residence sec
tons of that city, as a result of the
plan of the parks and streets.
Dr. Hielscher will erect a house
on his lot which will make the block
one to be noticed and commented
fayOrably upon. He is putting
enough money into his house SO that
he will use it as his own home.
After the first venture is made in
the direction there will no doubt be
more interest shown in the PROPOSE
ton.
The Lamm estate owns a three
cornered property on Fourth and
Spring streets, which is part of the
land which would be included in the
park if this plan was followed. This
property, however. could no doubt
be secured with little effort.
