The Grand Suburbs.
With tho opening OF spring the SUI
burbs are showing up in great shape
! They tell me that Bon Air is putting
on not q few airs, and that Forest Hill
Park IS getting busy, and that West
hampton is doing few stunts. Out
Ginter Park way there is much activ-
ity. I hear that the p"ople who con-
troll things out there have just start
cd the erection OF two very attrac-
tive eight colonial homes IN
Ginter Park. They are building these
homes for the reason that q great.many
parties wanting houses there prefer
not to have the trouble of building,
and desire other parties to go through
these details, thus relieving them of
the trouble and responsibility These
houses will be ready for occupancy by
July !. There are now sixteen other
homes under construction in this
suburb. and building operations were
never 80 active there as at present.
The Ginter Park Company Is now
spending over $4,000 In improvements
