Large Tract Purchased on
South State Street.
Contains Some Of Choicest House
Lots in Augusta.
Rare Opportunity TO Secure Ideal
Site for a Home.

The recent purchase by local syn
dictate of which H. f. Bowditch and
j. r. Townsend are the active mem
bers of a tract of land comprising
about eight. acres on South State
street, which was formerly owned by
Elbridge E. Lehr, is of especial inter
asmuch as it opens up some of the
most beautiful and desirable sites for
home to be found in the city. Au-
gusta's steady and remarkable growth
in its residential section within the
past few years, reaching out as it has
In every direction, has resulted in the
presentation to the prospective home
builder of the present time, when he
comes to secure desirable site on
which to build his home, of a prob
lem that is somewhat difficult of So
luton, and the opening up of the tract
in question should prove just what
many are looking for, for it surely
presents the opportunity.
The tract has a frontage of 4S0 feet
on State street and runs east to the
property of the Maine Central Rail-
road Co., and is for the greater part
purposes of building, containing some
of the very best house lots in town.
The preliminary plan calls for SO lots
and the view from a house built on
any one of them would be unsurpass-
ed. Two streets 40 feet in width have
already been laid out, running from
State street to a point about 600 feet
east, one being located at about loo
feet south of the north boundary OF
the tract and the other at the same
distance north of the south boundary
while it is planned to lay out another
street running north and south and
connecting the two streets mentioned
although the location of this street is
to be determined later.
Aside from the natural advantages
of the locatio of the lots included
in the tract, they will have all the
modern conveniences The city water
main extends along the entire State
street front, with a hydrant for fire
protection. the gas main is also there,
likewise the electric lighting system
and the telephone and last but not
least the main line of the Lewiston,
Augusta & Waterville Street Railway,
with its half hour service, a fivemin-
ute ride on which will take one to
the city's business centre, and at the
same time a home there will possess
all the charm of the peaceful atmos-
phere of a rural community. What
more could be desired?
1t is the purpose of the new owners
to open up this tract not only for the
sale of house lots but by the building
thereon of such houses as may be de-
sired. Plans will be shown and terms
and prices given by ]. r. Townsend

"Bunty Pulls the Strings" the big

Opera house Wednesday evening, Feb.

it enjoyed in New York is, no doubt,
known to all who keep alive in things
theatrical.
'Bunty" remained over Is months at
the Comedy theater-something out OF
the ordinary, even for New York. The
fun of "Bunty Pulls the Strings lies
not SO much In plot or situation as in
the transparent workings of the minds
Of its characters. Everyone of them
is, or has been, or wants to be. a
grasper of something, and every one or
them except 'Bunty' is more self-de-
ceiving than dangerous, because every
one is ION to" the working of every one
