The determination of Mayor Blanlten
burK to avoid further delay In tlio com
pletion of tho Parkway, from LiOKnn
Square to 22d Btrect, la belnff highly
commended by real estate men.
Tho largo trnct of city property be
tween tho west side of Logan Square and
the Sprint: Garden entrance of Kalrmoutit
Park, has been nn Interesting real estate
proposition slnco February 23, 3007, when
the work of razlne old buildings was un
dertaken. This marked tho beginning of tlio Im
provement ot tho Parkway.
It Is confidently bellevod that tliero will
be n substantial advance In rent estate
values as a result of the completion of tho
work, and that properties situated near
tho Parkway will command very much
higher prices within one year. This is
chown by tho way values havo advanced
at tho northwest corner of 17th nnd Arch
strcetB.
Tr la tn thn interest of the city, tho pub
lic, nnd the property owners that the
Parkway should be rushed to completion.
The city will bo benllted by nn Increase
In real estate tax assessments; the public
will enjoy the benortt of a beautiful thor
oughfare nnd the property owners will be
able to receive better prices for their real
estate.
It lias been frequently remarked upon
how llttlo property along, the Parkway
has changed hands. One reason for this
Is the angle at which tho Parkway crosses
all tho north nnd south streets.
Another matter that will havo to work
Itself out. Is when one comes to proper
ties that havo been partly taken by the.
city. To use the words of real estatn
men who have testified for owners In such
cases, such parts ot lots have only a spec
ulative value, thoy nro not deep enough
to build upon, and must buy from adjoin
ing owners, or sell to them, to get a suf
ficient ground space upon which a proper
building for such a street enn ba erected.
Thoro is also n very prevalent Idea that
the city will require somo special class
ot building and goneral construction, that
the city may have to supervise building
operations along the Parkway.
All these considerations are responsible
for tho lack of buying and selling of prop
erty along the Parkway. It would ba
very hard to quoto front foot values on
uny part of tho established line of the
Parkway, from the City Ilall to the en
trance of Falrmount Park.
It will be Interesting to see the course
of prices when the paving and grading
aro actually under way. LESSOR.
