PUT MADISON
TERRACE ON
THE MARKET

The biggest real estate sale that has
been put on in Hammond IN months
will take place October 1st and 2nd
when Madison Terrace. the forty. acre
tract on both sides of Madison street
just south of Standard avenue and with
business lots Calumet avenue. will
be put on the market
The subdividiRg of this beautiful
acreage has been completed along the
broad liberal lines that characterize all
Of additions laid out by Woods Martin
& Company. some of the unusual fea-
lures OF which are follows:
All of the residential lots are 20 feet
instead of twenty-five, but not less than
two lots will be sold TO any purchaser
and restrictions prevent building
heme on less than 40 feet of frontage.
sUBDIvrDrNc PROGRESSIVE
Making the lots 20 feet accompIishes
several things.
The smaller unit enables a man 70
buy 40. 90 or so feet
If a lot is split it gets away from
fractional feet Thus two one-hslf lots
would be so feet.
1t eliminates the difficulties in ng-
uring street assessments.
The modern bungalow has such
large founda tion that less than 40 feet
is not enough
Another feature of the new subdiv-
ision is the fact that Standard avenue
is laid out to a width OF liz feet to
conform with the plans of the city 10
make this a great boulevard between
Hammond and Gary. Eighty-two feet
came off from the new 40 acre sub
division This conforms to the dedl-
cation made in the South View addition
which Woods. Martin & Co. laid out a
year or two ago, just south OF Kenwood
MANY STREETS PAVED

it is interesting 10 note that more than
half Of the frontages on all streets in
the subdivision are improved with eoun
ty pavements the cost of which has
been paid by the township.
Calumet avenue. Madison avenue and
Standard avenue were all paveA by the
county. Jefferson and Monroe streets
and one side of Jackson street are the
only ones that remain to be paved
Madison terrace is on the south slope
of the same ridge that has been the
chief attraction of such subdivisions
as Glendale, Kcnwood. Hyde Park and

RESTRICTIONS UNwIsE
Roscoe E. Woods the president OF

subdivder, has undertaken IN Madison
Terrace to impose protective. but not
prohibitive restrictions on the proper
