As told In Saturday's T'llbune, n nteet-Ini-

taken on the matter.
Twenty-four of the twenty-live tllrce

"Ar a Ginnd Army man T have onlv

that Is to got the woith of our money.

inn iiifoi med the WlmUor c.ist S2S.O00
to build, the lots cost $t2,C00, niriUIng
a total col of '40,(100, some fifteen

"Now my opinion is that Penn ave

pleelated at least 2." per cent. In valuo
In fli'tcen years, and fully 10 per cent.
In lental, and It that is line the Wind

"I would adtise tbe purchase of a
corner lot and place n good substantial
building al a cosl of not more than
$20,000. That would Icae a balance to
puichaso a lol at $i:i,0u0, which would
be ample, and wo would be out of debt
and have something that every Giatid
Ainiv man would n proud of.
"Say make a huge basement for

kitchen and then take the ground

not think It an absolute necessity for

said: "The pro-Windsot jieoplc aw
