Prices are swelling, as usual, and an average lot that ten years ago cost from 4500 to 41,000 today Will get from SI,OOO to $3,000. A situation that developed iji post-depression days has about worked itself out and another has cropped up to take its place. After the depression, Decatur homeowners, ais well as those around the were selling property, at a great rate that had all the improvements, water, sewage, electric and gas facilities —these lots are virtually used up and those who intend to 'build anew are finding the additional expense of having to petition for facilities, enter into contracts with the city, or give Up the idea altogether. The answer to the problem lies under the ground. . .the sewers. Th e Porter-Homew’ood sewer, now under construction, will permit 1,000 new lots and wIV add to the value of property extant in parts of town other than the northwest

Take, for instance, a period 10 years ago, A Decatur worker who found employment in Fort Wayne would nine times out of ten makq a move to Fort Wayne. Now, however, .Fort Wayne is 'becoming quite crowded and with the advent of development of suburban lots in Decatur a turnabout has been experienced. So much so that Fort Wayne natives are switching the action and moving to Deactur. , . With the sewer coining into, being, -Decatur citizen's can look forward equal in the past.
