The ~Alamogordo improvement Com
pany is erecting a number Of fine resi-
dences, most of them two and two and
a half stories in height. The company
originally intended to build fifteen
houses, but has been SO successful in
renting or selling the buildings, some Of
them before the foundations were laid,
that the number has been considerably
increased.
The greater number of these dwell
ings face Indiana and Michigan ave
nues, and are provided with modern
improvements. The first three erected
are on Michigan avenue, facing east.
They are completed with the exception
of fitting the doors and windows. So
soon as the work on the water works
is completed the yards will be own in
grass, and flowers and shade trees
planted. F. e. Biedleman has charge
of the work on the buildings, and is
now erecting a two-story residence
facing Indiana avenue, which has been
sold to Mr.. Ackley.
The large two and a half story build
ing directly north of Hotel Alamogordo
has been rented to the county to be
used as a court house. 1t contains eight
large rooms, and is the most suitable
structure in the city for county pur-
poses. The new jail, just back of it, is
now ready for the placing Of the cages.
The second house erected by the COM
pany is north of the one to be used as
a court house, and like the first, is two
and a half stories. 1t has been rented
to Fred Nymeyer, who will occupy it as
a residence. 1t has twelve rooms, and
a large yard, which is being beautified
and will be one of the prettiest places
in town.
The third two and a half story build
ing, still further north on the same ave-
nue., is rented to the Commercial club
to be used as a club house. 1t has a
broad veranda on three sides, and a nice
lawn and shade trees. The club is fit
ting up reception, reading, music and
lounging rooms, and will soon be pre-
pared to royalty entertain whomsoever
is fortunate enough to be its guest. This
building contains thirteen large rooms,
all Of them nicely arranged for club
purposes.
F. e. Beidleman, the builder in
charge, has just completed a nice office
of three rooms on Michigan avenue,
which is a model Of convenience with
its electric lights and other modern ap-
planes. His residence is also under
Roadway, the foundation of which was
laid some time ago. 1t is one Of the
group to be built on Indiana avenue.
The plans are being drawn for a
modern cottage for Laurie & Frazier,
something after the same style as those
already built by the company. In the
same group Of dwellings H. Alexander
and w. A. Hawkins will each have a
residence. The plans have been pre-
pared and the buildings will be erected
as soon as possible, since these gentle
men desire to leave hot Ell Paso at the
earliest possible moment. They will al
so move their offices here when the new
depot building Is finished, which will be
about the first Of next month.
Besides the aforementioned build
ings, Mr.. Beidleman has in charge the
construction Of a number Of smaller
houses, from three to seven rooms each,
two of which are almost completed and
are rented. The number Of these houses
to be buff by the company will depend
