South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1917-04-29

In the development of high class residence
property there are certain Fundamental rules
to be observed in the selection of acreage as
well as in the development of the property
itself The ground must be high and dry. The
drainage must be perfect. The approach to
the property must be attractive. Transporta-
ton must be good and the locality must be
absolutely free from all Objectionable features
such as factories, railroads or a noisy business
district that may encroach on the neighbor-
hood. Any natural beauties such as fine old
trees or proximity to the river banks is of In
estimabIe value There must be reason for
living there-a sentimental reason
In developing such property the lots must
be large assuring privacy and making land
scape gardening possible and assuring fresh
air and sunshine. The streets should be wide
and well paved. There should be no alleys
On lots of sufficient size to admit of side
driveway, alleys are unnecessary They are
refuse collectors and disease breeders. By
eliminating them unsightly board fences are
done away with, and home owners are encour-
aged to improve the rear of their lots, thus
creating an unbroken vista of lawns and flow.
ers through the entire property.
In all cities there are such localities, which
become favored spots for discriminating home
makers.
Values In such communities continue to in
crease year by year, and they are fortunate
indeed who can see the future of such prop
erty and will buy when it is first offered In
all my experience in planning High Class
Home Developments, we have never seen
more ideal location than Marquette Park, or
piece of acreage more suitable for such pur-
pose.
That the people of South Bend will see
created here and on the adjoining acres far
Their out, your choicest Home Community we
are positive and on this we stake our reputa-
ton.

Owing to the increase in in
dustrial growth and the pros
pective future expansion of the
city, we have decided to
change QUIZ first plans for de-
veloping the Samuel Good
Place and make of it what we
believe 1t was intended for by
nature. A Choice Residence
Section for the Home Owners
of South Bend. We have de-
cided to do this because of the
increasing demand for home
sites developed along modern
lines and away from the older
and more congested sections
of the city.
With this end in view the property has
been repatted in lots of 60 to rs feet in
width All streets will be paved with con-
crete. Sewers, water mains, and electric
street lights will be installed Fine large elm
trees are now being planted, two or more to
each lot and sidewalks are now laid and all
improvements will be rushed to completion as
rapidly as conditions will permit. Our arch
fleets have completed plans and contracts are
now let for ten fine homes, five of which are
now under construction on the property.
Marquette Park will be restricted strictly to
homes. Every precaution will be taken to
prevent the building of anything detrimental
to home section. All improvements will be
of the best
An artistic ornamental entrance will be
erected on Portage Avenue and every effort
will be made to secure desirable class of peo-
pie as home owners. H. A. WOOD.

HEARINGS POSTPONED
ON PUBLIC UTILITIES

The Public Utilities Commission has
practically postponed all public hear
lngs on the valuation and deprecia-
tion OF holdings of large COMPANIES
or the District until after the first
or November. No reason has been
announced for the action further
than the customary let-up which gem
erally occurs IN the summer months
so many cases have been presented
before the commission during the last
lew months that a postponement has
become necessary. The hearing of
the appeal on the jitneys of Wash
inston made by the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company, will be
time.

HOROSCOPE.
Saturday, August Z, 1877.

A doubtful day In which to exer-
else caution, astrologers declare.
While Venus and Mars are in benefc
aspect, Mercury and Jupiter are ad-
verse.
1t is an especially fortunate day
for those who are engaged or mar
ried to soldiers, as It makes for mu-
tual confidence and promises happi-
, ness.
This should be a very lucky we'd
ding day, especially where the bride
groom Is in the army.
There Is a promising sign for all
who deal in steel or iron. They
should be careful, however, as con-
tracts signed under this configura-
ton probably will be unlucky.
Actors and singers should benefit
by this rule of the stars.
It is a lucky day for hotel and res
taurant managers, although heavy
losses are prognosticated through
some public act or national condi-
tions.
Jupiter is in a menacing mood
where business is concerned.
Again attention Is directed to the
possible growth of what may be
called world hysteria In which the
Hoiiidh ulluu DeCOIneS exceedingly
sensitive to morbid impressions and
loses in reasoning power. 1t is this
which will cause more revolutions in
Europe.
King Alfonso Of Spain, who came
under a threatening aspect the first
Of the year, will find September a
critical period. the seers declare, and
he will suffer severe bereavement.
As If to offset the loss of men in
the war, the stars presage a great
mortality among women in the
United States as well as in Europe.
The triple conjunction of Mercury,
Saturn and Neptune near the place
Of Saturn and in opposition to Nep-
tune in the &aiser's horoscope is
read as indicating a grave financial
crisis, which is close at hand.
Persons whose birthdate It is NAV
experience trouble through doc,I-
ments or legal papers. They should
avoid speculation and concentrate on
practical AFFAIRS.
Children born on this day may be
SO imaginative as to become un-
truthful. These subjects of Leo
should be quick of mind and ambi-
tous to be leaders.
