- NECESSITY OF ENLARGEMENT
IS URGED.

Detroit's Growth Responsible for In-
sufficient Housing Conditions.

Detroit made an astounding leap
from serenity and the fame of being
the city beautiful to day and night
hustle and an enormous output of its
industries. It jumped so quickly and
so far that the first thing anybody
knew there was too much jostling,
too little room to stretch. As indus-
tries grow, so population increases,
and with the influx of tens of thou-
sands of people there must be homes.
The central section having been built
up and the outlying districts becom-
ing so desirable that prices have
soared beyond the reach of many, the
only thing to do was to take in some
of the surrounding land.
So the farms of yesterday with one
family to 40 acres or more soon will
be changed and there will be from
six to eight families to every acre, or
something like 300 familiCs where one
existed by the tilling of the soil.
In taking in this land Detroit is
showing the true safety first spirit.
Better by far to have it in the city
with the utilities that go with mu-
nicipal operation than to force the
new homeseekers to camp out, so to
speak.

The New Part of Detroit.

The recently annexed territory
starts at the northeast of the city
and swings around to the northwest,
going as far north as the Oakland
county line. These are the 20 square
miles of Greenfield and Hamtramck

DETROIT GROWTH IS REAL
•
BOOM, SAY EXPERTS.

Talk about room to fill the lungs
with air and stretch the arms, this is
sonic improvement on the cramped
quarters of the greatest city of tliem
all. No city has developed the speed
that Detroit has in its growth, and
the best part of it is that there has
been nothing in the nature of what
ordinarily is regarded as a boom. It
has been a real boom, not inflation of
the toy balloon type, for there is no
puncturing here, no sharp report and
quick collapse. Detroit is too firmly
intrenched for anything of that sort.

townships and in adding them to the
city Detroit jumps over the cities of
Highland Park and Hamtranick,
which is a rather unusual situation.
Sonic of the projects did not carry,
but the land may be in the city be-
fore the matter is settled. There is
one tract which takes in some of
Gratiot and Hamtramck townships.
In the vote the Hamtramck part was
in favor of annexation and it may, be
taken into court on the proposition
that this should be annexed inde-
pendent of the desired strip • in
Gratiot.
The Springwells project, which
also was lost, also is apt to be
straightened out by the courts. It in-
cluded parts of the territory that had
been annexed at a previons election,
the validity of which was questimied,
so it was again submitted. If the
previous vote is -held to have been
legal the November vote will be non-
effective as to the land comprised in
the earlier proposal.
