A VERY DESIRABLE PROPERTY

On River Street for Sale at a Bargain. Desirable and well located 'residence lots or properties in Rensselaer at a reasonable price, or what heretofore has been considered a reasonable price, are becoming very scarce. The extensive building operations on the west side of the river during the past two years has practically exhausted most of the well located lots and has made this section of the city the desirable residence district by reason of its cleanliness, its ample drainage and the high class of residences that have been erected there. It Is entirely free from the smoke nuisance of some other parts of the city and it is a quiet, peaceful neighborhood, where most of the residents own the property they occupy. _

The Improvement of South street from Washington to Kannal avenue is opening up a small section containing a number of quite desirable lots and it is probable that within a year or two both sides of that street will be completely built 'up. This street is to be macadamed and have cement curb and gutter, contract having already been let.

The writer has for sale the former John Bill property fronting on River street and located on the corner of River and Odell streets, seventy-five feet on River street and running west 300 feet to South street. There Is a good substantial house now on the east seventy-five feet with private sewer, fine shade and one of the very best and prettiest locations in the city. River street is the widest and one of the best improved streets in Rensselaer, while Odell street on the north side of this property is also macadamed. This property can be bought at the present time for much less than it is worth, taking into consideration its splendid location and its advantages otherwise. We will sell this property entir§ x>r either seventy-five foot lot separately as desired. If you want to secure one of the most desirable properties in Rensselaer at a reasonable price, come and see this at once. Possession can be given March I.—F. E. BABCOCK.
