WHAT SOUTH JERSEY

LAND IS WORTH

An example of wbat can be done with South Jersey land, and an indication of what can be confidently looked forward to in the way of ever increasing values of real estate in this part of the SUte, was evidenced the first of this month when the Stanger fruit farm, at Glass bo re, consisting of 240 acres, was sold to real estate promoters at a price said to be about 31.000 per acre, or more than 3200.000. This Is said to be the greatest real estate transaction hlch has taken place In Glouces-

ter county for years.

77>ls tract had been highly developed as apple and peach orchards and had paid the owners good dividends, no doubt, in addition to cast of development, so that the selling price may be regarded as clear profit, less the original cost of the land. What the Stangers have done at Glassboro can be duplicated at many places In South Jersey and In several localities in Cape May County. But not for the orchards alone that the purchase was made, but for cutting up into home sit< is possible that the orchards may gradually be entirely eliminated, as the tide of population sweeps southward, following the opening of the Delaware river bridge. Is this tide of population to which the promoters look forward to net them a handsome profit on their Investment, and they will not look in vain. Glassboro has excellent train service, and should have grown faster, but it has been Just a little too far for the average mechanic. clerk and salesman to commute back and forth and It has lacked the attractions to draw that 'hlch' can afford to spend more time on the road. The opening of the bridge, however, will produce a shift in population, which will send more of thU class to places like Glassboro and even farther south, producing a corresponding Increase In land values

all along the line.

The destruction of the Stanger

fruit growing and with the ever Increasing population will find better markets for their products, which means of course ‘be transforming of lands of little value into productive acres, and In time to ideal home sites. Just as has

bees done at Glassboro.

With the seashore resorts growing on the one hand and the tide of city population eweUing on the other. South Jersey land is a most valuable asset and any of it, if held, will bring the owner a very handsome margin over present

valuations.

The war debts of Finland. Great Britain. Hungary. Lithuania and

Poland have been funded.

Outside of the first five named countries these debts savor very much of what financial men would term “cats and dogs,” or practically worthless. Some day In the distant future, when Russia shakes off Sovietism, she may pay the 3260.000.0C0. but by that time the interest will probably equal the

print pal.

Ever since the close of the world war the count; a whose debts remain unfunded, have dilly-dallied in making settlement with the hope that In order to help them recover from the effects of the war the United States would eventually make them a present of the amounts due. There has never been the slightest intention on the part of the Washington Government oi doing anything of the kind. Such a step could only be taken by the sanction of Congress and no Congress would do such
