NORFOLK OF PAST AND PRESENT A Study In the Progress of the City aa Shown by Some Ancient Views. A. J. Durlnnd'n Prophecy. A. J. Dnrland , who platted nnd owns The Heights addition to Norfolk , has recently Kent out to his frlonds a leftover ever birds-eye view of the city in 1SK1) ) , also a left over plat of lilt ) addition of that year , and It Is with some pride that ho calls the attention of his friends to his prophecy at that time tlmtTho Heights would In a few years become one of the most doslrablo residence parts of the town , and anyone at all familiar with Norfolk will readily agree that It IIIIH realized his fondest anticipa tions In regard to the property. The addition IH well drained , has boautl- Mil HimUU LIUVU , WUIl IVU1L Mil UUIO , mill the provision at that time that no hoitsoH Hhould bo erected at n cost of Ions than $1,000 has resulted In the building of many beautiful residences greatly In excess of that llguro. With Eighth and Ninth streets opened through to the now Northwestern yards ho feels justilled In making the further prediction that the property south of The Heights will In n few ycarH bo just as valuable as The Heights Is today. The birds-oyo vlow of the city , made In 1880 , Is In great contrast to the Hamo sort of vlow mndo In 1SS1 , and shows a wonderful development , but a perspective vlow of the city made today would bo In almost as great a contrast with that hist published , nnd would show a wonderful advancement of the city slnco that date. The showIng - Ing of 1889 Is a good sized city , and a city of homes , but wonderful devel opment has taken place In the fourteen - teen years that have passed , and a greater homo city would bo shown by a perspective of today. The greater part of the development has been made In the past two or three years , and moro Is to follow as certain as the sun continues to shlno. Norfolk has never ceased to grow slnco It started , and It Is destined to continue to grow for many years to coino. The.so old perspectives and maps re cord the growth effectually and It is entertaining to contrast the past with the present through their aid , whllo It Is not dllllcnlt to judge of the future as contrasted with the past.
