The opportunities for profitable
building in Durango should not be
overlooked. Any fear that too many
houses will be built is not warranted
by the facts. There are not less
than 100 habitations in Durango
which would be deserted were there
better houses to move into. The
rents paid on some of the shacks to-
day would pay on an investment OF
81 900 TO $1,000. There is every In
ducement for building. The city is
improving on every other line and the
demand for good houses becomes
stronger each succeeding day.
