Beauty Demanded in Suburbs.

“Beauty is a necessary factor in the development of suburban property,” says H. A. Jontfs, a Detroit real estate man. “City people who move out to those communities which are sure to surround Detroit as the city develops, will expect city conveniences and rapid transit to their employment, but they will also expect something of country pleasures. “Therefore »po suburban property unless laid out with the Idea of beauty in mind, is likely to become fully built up. People will not have their homes squeezed Into 30-foot lots, with no parks, trees or landscape beauty, when they have gone cway from the heart of the city Just to get such surroundings.”
