Some of the Ways Other Cities Have Been Built Up. If we could get an organization in Raleigh such as they have in most cities, known as the Land and Im provement Company, with sufficient capital to buy up the vacant lands in and around our city, and then lay these off in lots, beautify and adorn them we would see how easily our waste places could be built up. Look back a few years to the time when MrStanhopePullen had a lot of vacant land overlooking Oakwood Cemetery on its western side. Go over in the Confederate Cemetery now and get on the highest point and see the beautiful village, that looms upbeforo you. How did it happen? The owner laid off the fields into city 8quares,surrounded with young trees, streets were opened and good side walks made. Then he commenced to build. As fast as a house was ready applicants were after it. Of all the many built there is not a vacant one now. ) " ' 3 Just what Mr Pullen did for him self, this Land and Improvement Company can do. As he has built up one section of the city, so other sec tions can be built up. We have nothing to say against Building and Loan Associations.They are all right, provided the money put in them 6tays at home. But if we could have an organization inRaleigh . Ilxl XI.).. that could comDine an iue muuiuij dues paid into these institutions for the building up of our city, we would see such a boom here as we have not dreamed of. Let the work be undertaken. A Land and Improvement Company, with monthly dues small enough per share to admit of all taking apart in it. Cemeteries Notes.
