cline in the business of the town. But
three or four new firms nave come in
recently, and several others are getting
ready to open up, which seems rather
strange in town whose business is all
going to Los Angeles. The postal facili-
ties are becoming entirely inadequate,
and Postmaster Kernaghan, with view
of getting them Increased, has Obtained
through his mail carriers some interest
ing figures in this limo that accurately
gauge the extent of the additions to the
city's residences during the past year.
There are fise of these carriers and a few
DAYS ago eacn was requested to make re.
turn to the number OF dwellings rlet-
ed in his district for the preceding twelve
months. These returns are confined to
the residence section and do not, there
fore, include the mum Der of new build
ings within the business district of the
city which is covered by the route of
riers report as follows: No. ., compris-
ing the central eastern section. AZ
houses; No. 3, the southwest section, 40
houses; No. 4, the extreme eastern sec
tion, 10 houses; No. 5, the northwest Sec
ton, 10 houses. Total 233 houses.
These do not include the number of
buildings in course OF erection. which
amount to thirty-hve or forty more. The
showing is not surprising to those VINO
have watched the course of events here.
One lum Der firm has five teams hauling
Iumebr 10 new buildings ali the time
from their yards.
