How Transportation plays a vital
part in the rise and fall of real es-
tate values Is told by w. G. Murrin
in the August issue Of the National
Real Estate Journal.
There Is distinct overlapping
between the business of real estate
and the business of supplying
transportation to the community"
property for residential purposes
and the prosperity. change or sta
bility Of business property Is due to
the operation of a multitude of
factors. many Of them entirely un-
connected with the operation Of any
transportation system. but II can be
safely said without fear of contra
diction that the question of trans
portation, and, to be specific, the
street and interurban car service.
has very important bearing.
Transportatien Indispensable.
with the growth of a village
into a town. and the town into a
city, its area becomes SO extended
that artificial means of transporta-
tion are necessary. 1t is no longer
possible for citizens to transact
their business afoot, and the larger
the city grows the more numerous
and speedy must its transportation
facilities become.
The electric street car has been,
during the past twenty years. more.
and more the recognized vehicle for
transportation. and on this conti-
nent Is established and in itself 10
the only vehicle which could ade-
quately take care of a large body
OF the travelling public and meet its
needs at al times at a compara-
lively low cost. The same system
has proved capable of development
Tor interurban uses and has made
possible the subway and river tun-
nels, which were previously out of
the question owing to the smoke of
locomotives" continues Murrin.
BY its use travel has been made
as speedy as is consistent with
safety. and II has enabled business

cities and homes to be located in
the outlying districts.
1T has, In a few years, released
the city from the bondage Of slow
transportation and has stimulated
urban growth In a way that would
never have been possible under
other conditions" he says.
The Eject on Values.
1T might appear at first sight
that system of transportation
which would make Il possible for a
large part OF the population to live
considerable distance away from
the center in which IT was employed,
and to get from point to point
quickly under low cost, would have
the effect OF equalizing values over
large area and causing a great
diversity in the districts where
businesses and business buildings
would be located.
As q matter OF fact, Il has Just
the reverse effect. That which
makes II possibie to cover large
area with residential districts is a
very powerful factor. making tor

Asks Rd Nal of Huge
Drydock to Manila

Manila, p. l., Dec. 23.-Steps have
been taken by Governor General
Wood to induce the United States
government to transfer the floating
drydock dewey" at Olongapo, Su-
bic Bay, to Manila, as part Of a plan
to make Manila the foremost port
in the Far East. The governor gen.
eral took up the matter through the
bureau Of insular affairs at Washing

departments will decide the practi
cability Of its moving.
"The transfer Of the navy drydock

General Wood, twill add greatly to
he shipping facilities here and in
cidentally make Manila the terminal

1t is estimated that It would cost

LEANDER WALLACE DICKEY,

After lingering illness of several
years, passed peacefully to the life
beyond Saturday morning, Feb. 4th,
at the family residence in Reading,
Mass.
Mr. Dickey, son of William and
Martha T Dickey of Bradford, pass
ed his 69th year in June 1921. The
earlier part of his life was spent in
Bradford, where he was highly re-
spected and very popular among his
business associates and now the older
residents of his home town. The later
years, before disease undermined his
strong constitution and forced him
to retire from active service, were
spent travelling through Eastern
United States, where he was we'll
and favorably known by many busi-
ness houses. His greatest regret
during the last years of his illness
was that he was not able to follow
his usual routes of travel and visit
the scenes of his earlier associations.
Always an active man the enforced
quiet palled upon him, but without
complaint he bore up bravely and
cheerfully until the call to the new
life summoned him home.
He is survived by his wife Eva A
Dickey, Reading, Mass; daughter,
Colema d Saunders, Seattle, Wash
ington; three sons, Leander A Dickey
of Boston, Mass; Pearl H Dickey of
Bradford and Hazen G Dickey of
Reading, Mass.
The funeral service was conducted
at his home Monday, Feb. 9Th at
p. m. by Rev. Henry ] Kilbourne,
formerly of Bradford. The beautiful
floral tributes of the many friends
helped to emphasize the peaceful
rest from long period of suffering
of loving husband and father.
The body was accompanied by three
sons to Bradford, where a short SER
vice for relatives and friends was
held at the Chapel on Tuesday at
D. m. before interment.

MRS LUTHERA nj. WILSON.

Mrs Wilson was born in West New
bury April A, 1881 and passed away
from this life in the early morn of
Jan. 20, 1922. She was the daughter
of the late Dudley Carleton, and the
last survivor of ten children, all of
whom lived to advanced old age. She
was graduate in the classical
course of old Newbury Seminary and
for some years teacher.
Oct. 49, 1854 she was united in
marriage to Kimball X Wilson of
Boston, native of Corinth. About
1880 he retired from his business and
they came to Bradford and purchased
the place and erected the fine resi-
dence on the hill at the West side
of the village, where for over forty
years she made her home Mr. Will
son died very suddenly in June, 1893.
Although financial reverses came in
where her funds were invested, Mrs
Wilson still maintained her home
until the infirmities of age caused
her to sell it in the spring of 1921.
She was very active and retained the
acute faculties of her mind and at
tended to her business matters to the
last. A great reader and deep stu
dent she kept we'll informed of all
the current events. Her last sick
ness was only of three weeks dura-
tion, and she felt most grateful that
her last days could be passed in the
home she had planned and built,
which is now owned by Mr. and Mrs L
w Hastings, both of whom were
seemingly as kind and cared for as
if she was their own mother. The
only near relatives are several nieces
and nephews. The funeral services
were at the home Tuesday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. ] A LytIe, assist
ed by DIR. T P Frost. Four nephews
acted as bearers. mterment was in
the family lot of Bradford cemetery,
and Arthur E Hale was in charge.
