make of a family of people who
we're living in a tent near the

life uncomfortable and sleep inn
possible in that part of town.

quell the disturbance.
After a fight of several minutes

Building Notes.

The new w. o. w. building on
Beauregard Avenue is nearing
completion and shows up to be a
fine building.
The March, Murphy and Hagel-
stein new buildings on the old
San Angelo Hotel block are forg-
ing ahead steadily. These build
,ings when completed will add
materially to the civic beauty of
San Angelo for they will be splen-
did structures and well construct
ed.
The bids for the new First
National Bank building. will be
opened September 9th and the
contract awarded. This will be a
beautiful building and a
magnificenthome for the bank.
There are several fine residences
being built. The beautiful resi-
dence of CIV Hobbs now being
built is going up fast and with
the other new houses will add to
the number of the many fine resi-
dences in San Angelo.
The erection of the new BUSH
ness buildings is causing a mater
ial increase in the values of bust
ness locations. Business loca-
tions along Chadbourne street
to the depot are rising in price.
The city is expanding and more
business houses are called for to
meet the demand. There is a
steady increase in all realty val
ues all over San Angelo. People
who purchased residence locations
few months back can easily dis
pose of them now to good
profit All this is a matter OF
great qualification to the people
Of San Angelo, as it shows clear.

future greatness of San Angelo as
