IMPROVEMENTS AT
UNIVERSITY PARK

Denver Colo, Dec. 29.-Fifteen new
housese will he constructed ut univer-
sity Park the coming year for the ac-
commOdation of students Mt the Uni
yersity of Denver. Ii Is expected that
they will be ready for occupancy with
in a few months. They will be of vari-
Gus sizes and in cost will range from
81 600 TO 5000 each. so it is reported.
SteDs to this end We're taken mt a
special meeting of the trustees OF the
university yesterday committee
was appointed to lay plans for the I'M
provement. 1t is probable that an in
dependent corporation will be organ
lied very shortly for the purpose of
erecting the dwellings. 1t will coop
crate with the university.
"Therc is n large and growing de
mand for homes ut the park" said
Bishop II. w. Warren. who made an
address at tie meeting. I'VE could
have rented n dozen or more additional
houses this year. The students are now
either coming out in the morning from
the city in ears, or are stopping with
private families. We wish to have as
many of them here as possible. ana see
no other way than to erect the houses
where families can live and accommo-
date students"
There is no question that the per-
centage of increase would have been
even larger this year had there not
been Il dearth of houses. The construc-
ton of fifteen new buildings will do
considerable towards giving Univer-
Sity Park more of Il town-like appear
ance The change in the Tramway ser
vice by which the park can be reached
by quicker route is said by some of
the trustees to be largely responsible
for the increased demand upon the in
stitutioL.

of some little interest in the suit OF
