30-A THE OMAHA SUNDAY RkE: APRIT, 19, 11M4. Activities Among Omaha's Wide -Awake Home uuaers SEES BRIGHT FUTURE AHEAD B. R. Hastings Says All Indications Are for Steady Growth. PEOPLE . WANT ROOMY LOTS Art- FJnhtlnir High Co( of Living by llnvltiR Itooin for C'nnlrn unit Krnll nnil ShriiMirry or All Klnita. Byron n. Ilnstlncs, president of the firm of Hastings & Hoyden, on April 1st celebrated his twenty-fifth year in han dling Omaha real estate. He says the pro i th of Omaha in a suburban way during the last few years has been of such a remarkable character as to sug gest It not only Insures fully the growth of the city Itself, but also the tendency on the part of a steadily Increasing num ber of persons to reek some of Its many beautiful localities In which to establish residences; the change of surroundings from the turmoil and a congestion of city lit to peaceful quiet, with attractive and congenial surroundings, serves not only to administer ,to health and material wants, but lev Insure Ideal environments where happy homo life and the proper rearing of children. ' Crr.ahana nre rapidly beginning to ap preciate the great" natural beauty of the suburban localities. Lack of Information and pome little prejudice have prevented recognition of this In the Past to some extent Hut understanding has wofhed n change in the minds of the people until today the locality around Miller Park is building up rapidly with beautiful homes. Still farther north toward Florence new homes are springing up In every direc tion. On the Forest Uwn car line west of Florenco a number of homes nre be ing built that would be a real credit to tho much-talked-of West Farnam dis trict Prides nre Slodernlr. In these additions lots can stilt be had on car lino and macadam roadway as lov; aa tSV) apiece. Out along tho Benson line and Clalrmont addition It has been built Op like magic, and what little over two years sgo was a cow pasture proba bly 7C per cent of the lots are now cov ered with homes. This situation Is contlnung north through Vineland up to and around Fon tenclle park. In a great many cases peo ple are buying two and three Iota In order to have a garden and raise some small fruit. Out beyond Uoltaon acre lota are selling to people who are starting to establish homes on theso pieces to get down to the point to where they are fighting the high cost of living. All one needs to do Is to read the article In last Sunday's Deo written by Mr. A. B. Llndell, In which he describes what he Is doing on an acre by convincing one that many with an aoro or half of ground are solv ing thin momontous question, while at the same time their lots or land Is In creasing In value from the fact that oth ers nre doing the same thing as thtm selves to establish homes and making prosperous communities. llastlnKs A lli-ydm Hnlrs.
