facilities in many localities denied the delights 
of the suburbs to all save those persons who 
were not only in a position to maintain 
private stables, but could also afford the 
expenditure of time necessary for leisurely 
conveyance to and from the adjacent city. 
In this state of 
affairs is found 
the secret of the 
marvelous 
growth which has 
attended subur¬ 
ban communities 
in general follow¬ 
ing the tremen¬ 
dous extension 
of inter-urban 
electric lines dur¬ 
ing recent years. 
There is still 
another influen¬ 
tial factor which 
has added many 
recruits to the 
ranks of discrimi¬ 
nating and, we might almost say, luxury- 
loving suburbanites. This is the providing 
in approved modern communities of practi¬ 
cally all the conveniences to be found in the 
most complete city home. The bugbear of 
inadequate lighting, water and sewerage 
facilities, with the 
installation of 
costly private 
plants as the only 
alternative, de¬ 
terred many per¬ 
sons from em¬ 
bracing the faith 
of the suburban¬ 
ites at the outset; 
but now all of' 
these obstacles 
have been re¬ 
moved, and the 
resident of an up- 
to-date suburb 
has the advantage 
of electric light, 
bountiful water
