Perhaps you then would say it's one
who leads life of ease
Could take vacations if he liked, and &c
just what would please,
lis none of these, my Sweiterlng frleno,
but I'll tell you in trice
That the happy mau L boast OF Is the
one who deals in ice.
The non-residents are making a
strong ''kick" against the commission
ers' court for raising property values
and they talk of selling out and quit H.
vestipg money in Ell Paso. None of them
will have airy trouble in selling. There
are always lots of people who want to
invest money in property that brings
them in % per cent yearly on their
Investment. A two thousand dollar
mouth. There are lots of people who
have money to invest who are waiting
for just such soft snaps.
What Ell 2aso needs is an enterpris-
ing man that Will bay up some OF the
GnimprOved property about town and
build mum Der Of rent houses thereon.
There is big demand for this class of
buildings and the investments would
pay big in crest. There are house
now renting in Ell Paso for SIS per
month that did not cost S4OO to build
and if any one can find a better invest
meut than that Round About would
like to know where hey can be found.
The fact IS that own ng rent property
in Ell Paso is better than owning a gold
mine. Property Of this character is
always in demand aud the demand is
incre asing daily-in fact there are
many renters here now who cannot
find the kind OF house they want 10
rent. Rents ara higher in Ell Paso
than in any other town in the state aud
rent property always pays big inter-
est on the Investment.
1t seems like the action of the COM
missioners court did just the right
thing when they raised the valuation
fossils who have owned property in Ell
Paso since the city was ranch, and
held the property at such high figures
that no one could buy, are now talking
of selling out. This is as it should be.
II these people could be induced to
sell some one would buy the property
that would improve it aud thus help FL
PasO on its road to prosperity. Let
the com issiOners court stand firm, but
be just.
