The people of ifomewood watch
these things for the reason that they
realize that there Is a community of interest between them. Anything that tends to lower the character of the neighborhood reduces the value of
every property in Homewood.
That Is why Homewood people
wiumake themselves their brother's
keepers. That Is why it is one man's
business what his neighbor intends to
build on the lot next to him. It is
this spirit that has prevented people
with dwarfed Ideas of the city beauti
ful from coming in and ruining what
has only been built up by the ex
penditure of hundreds of thousands
of dollars. This same spirit should
spread to other parts of the city. It
accounts for the high values In
Homewood.
Sorrow, too oft fc yen
