All that the northeast has needed to
bring it into development has been
transportation. This I have been
preaching for twenty years md the
truth of my prophecy is shown in what
has taken place since the operation of
the road has been assured. Many
properties that were offered for $500
an acre are selling now for between
$4,000 and $4,000.
This great asset Of the city has re.
maincd undevelopcd because it lacked s
link with the city's center. That Is now
provided and with the new links to
be constructed. believe that Phila-
dclphia is entering upon period in
which it will recognize the fact that it
can derive revenue within the city
limits. This taxation question cffects
rhilsdelphia more than any other
American city. because Of the indus.
tries here we have three times the NUN.

although New York has three times tie
population.
Kensinston and Frankford lying
south OF this great district will both
benefit by the opening Of this road be-
cause anything that develops the hinter.
land will benefit every merchant in that
section.
Moreover by creating an additional
residential section we will bring the
best type OF workers within n short
distance of the famous textile mills.
The opening therefore Of this great
artery to the northeast Is in my opin.
ion one of the most wonderful events in
our history.

The statement is made that the su.

Bros. Construction Company, to have
charge of the new Southern college
buildings will arrive in the city early
next week.
The building committee will meet
with the superintendent on Tuesday
and the location for the units of the
new college plant included in the plans
for this year will be pointed out.
The people of Lakeland and South
Florida will be glad when active work
begins on the college buildings, and it
is the general opinion that this will
have stimulating effect on those who
have made pledges for the work of
education in Florida.
1t is we'll understood, especially by
the Methodist people that the trustees
must have the funds subscribed for
Christian education, nearly all of
which goes to the building of this
school, in order that they may go
