It is shown thot $500,000,- 000 of American money is now be- ing worked in Canaiian territory. There has been a marked increase in American investments through- out the Dominion witkin tho last few years. According to figures col- lected for the five-year period 1905-09, inclusive, the amount of American investments was $279,- In May, 1911, it was es- approximately $417,143,221. Since then, according to the belief of of- ficers of the government who have made a study of the subject, there has been an additional investment in the nelshborhood of $80,000,000, 10 LAY SIDEWALKS ON AL STREETS Southern Asphalt and Construction Co. Make Proposition Whereby This Would Be Practical A proposition will be submitted to the city by the Southern Asphalt and Construction Co., the adoption of which it seems would be of great advantage to property holders and would go far towards extending the improvements and increasing the values of real estate. The proposition is to lay good concrete or granolethic sidewalks on all the streets of the city which at present do not possess this improve- ment, and to accept obligations for the work payable in one, two, three, . four and five years, with interest at six per cent. Heretofore property owners who have had sidewalks put down were compelled to dig up the entire cost at once, and this in many cases would be quite burdensome. There is hardly any property own- er, however, who could not afford to make this great improvement un- | ner. m to Haines Ciy for| ger the easy payment plan suggest- n the way from Mul- they became afraid I would retake the ey turned about and ove stated Bell was ast evening strange ith strange men in ome into town. and hat the mob that o was composed of URE TO HAVE FIRE Fla..
