 The Property.

southern portion of the old Austin and Taylor Addition, now owned by r. G. Smart, the progressive and popular local real estate man, is fast becoming an inviting and popular residential section of this city. The addition is now being graded and made ready for fully one hundred local residents, who have purchased about half of the lots included in the tract.
 The Forest Park Addition lies be- tween Thirty-first and Thirty-fifth avenues and Elm and Hickory street. It was purchased by Mir. Smart about January 1, 1912, and since that time there has been great demand for building lots there. Thirty-six blocks of beautiful home sites make up the addition.
 For some weeks MT. Smart has had a large force of men at work grading the streets and arranging the lots for buyers. The streets run directly north, east, south and west and are sixty feet wide. A twelve foot alley way divides the lots in every block and on either side of the wide ave- nues between them is neight-foot sidewalk. Each lot is regulation size, 60x154 feet. Many of them have been purchased hy some of our best citi- zens and as soon as the improvements are finished in the addition the own CTS are preparing to let contracts for beautiful and costly homes. Ten new homes are assured for the addition the coming fall or early spring.
 Two attractive residences have al- ready been erected in Forest Park addition by D. M. and A. B. Niven. They are modern in every respect. Contractor Roy Hayes is soon to build a $2,600 home there. It will be brick veneer and will be located at Thirty-third avenue and Cherry street.
 The Cherry street car line, which will doubtless be extended either to or through the addition within the next year or two, runs within five blocks of the Forest Park addition at this time. !FS
 Hardly day passes but that Mir. Smart is requested to show some prospective real estate purchaser through the addition and he will be pleased to show anyone the desirable lots on request.
 1t is an interesting sight to see the force of men at work beautifying the property. Six scrapers and about twenty men were in action there yes terday and MT. Smart will not dis continue operations there until he has the addition in excellent shape for residences. Every lot is a desirable one, having been so arranged in map ping them out as to make the inside lots equally as desirable as the cor
  ner lots.
 It will only be question of a few years when the Forest Park addition Will be in the heart of the residence section of Pine Bluff. For the past ten years the Southern and Southwestern sections of the city have been slowly exending their limits and many of the most costly and attractive homes In this city are located South of Tenth avenue. Real estate in that part of the city has been increasing daily and homes, that have been erected there in recent months, have sold at fancy prices.
