Northwestern Has ' a Big Increase in Passenger Traffic Chicago & Northwestern officials are pointing with pride to the passenger busi ness, as shown by the road's fiscal re port for the year ending June 30, and which has Just been given to the public. The report shows that during the twelve months, all told, the road carried 83,3S,C8 passengers. This Is nearly 1.000,000 more than were carried during the previous year. In Its report of passenger business handled, the Northwestern falls to make any statement as to revenue received, but calls attention to the fact that Jn handling the vast number of people, there was not an accident that resulted in loss of life. According to the Northwestern rigures, during the year the road carried more than one-third of the populatl6n of the ITnlted States. It the passengers had all concluded to go at one time, to have handled them would have required 55G.486 i joslyn home in the .western part of the coaches with a seating capacity of slxty clty, fho ti.aPt ile, between " ua'.enport' The new and sightly Poppleton Park addition, platted, graded arid finished for building" altos by Khuler & Carey, real estate firm, was thrown on the market Saturday, for a two days' show and ale period.

This Is a thirty-acre tract of 'the old Poppleton estate, lying Just west of the persons each. With seven cars to a train. 79.108 locomotives would have been needed to handle the equipment.

Between 40,000 and 50,000 yards of earth have been moved by the grading outfit under the direction -of Shuler & Carey during the lust several months since the company acquired this tract ' from the Poppleton estate. -The firm decided to make no half way affair of the project, but decided to put In a lot of monoy and put this tract Into HrtS best of shape, with every lot . on tho grade, and alt tha streets graded. Cement Bldewalks have been lal J around every block. Trees have boon planted, and the -tract has every appearance xf being a modern community without houses. The sewer system has been installed, and satisfactory arrange ments have been made with the water board whereby the board Is to begin the laying of the water system at once. Along Saddle creek at the western ex- tremety of the tract the. city owns the right-of-way for a boulevard. This Is to be developed 'in time. Building restrictions- have been made sufficiently heavy on the tract to insure a good class of residents and yet not so heavy as ' to bar the man of moderate means. The restrictions range from $2,000 down to $1,600. ' This' Will mean that nothlttf ' less ' than five or six-room bungalows wll. be built and that from that up to' eight, ten and .' twelve-room mansions will be constructed here as soon as tho lots are sold.
