homes in Norhern Indiana. To Retain Natural Charm,
The new street will be Improved from Fourth to Eighth avenues. It will cut through the rolling sand dunes

every lot will, therefore, be terraced. "When the paving is completed.'
said Property Agent H. S. Norton of
the Gary Land company, "I will go over the street and mark off the lots. They will be 45, 60, 75, 90 and 120 feet wide, and will be sold on that basis." Prices to Be Aeaaoaable. It is expected that prices will be the same as Pierce street $500 for each thirty feet of frontage. No lots will be sold now. and neither will the company accept any applications for lots until all improvements are completed. The price of the lots include the cost of the Improvements, thereby eliminating assessments. This will make the property as ch-sap as any to be had in the city.

produced In the residential districts.
A few days ago the company received the contract to erect the $5,000 English Gothic style rectory for Christ
