Unique Plan To Increase
 Residence Properties HAS PROVEN PRACTICAL
Will Furnish Work for a Score of Tradesmen and Result in Ten Modern Homes Costing Not Less Than $2,OOO Each.

One of the most practical co-operat- i've plans which will have for its ob- ject the building of ten splendid resi- dence properties costing not less than two thousand dollars, and the furnish ing of employment for a score of men for the next several months is that launched by M. J. Galpin of this place and which has the hearty approval of all the business men of the town who have examined the details. The plan. which will be explained at length later, has never been put to a practical test at this place, but it is far in advance of the theoretical stage in that it has been followed in Phoenix in numerous instances where it has proven a great boost to the building trade as well as increasing materially the available residence properties.
 Ten men representing practically all the trades and the retailers of materi- als necessary to the construction of a house have entered into an agreement for the erection of ten houses all of them with the exception of one to be erected in North Evergreen, and on which work will commence next week, at the termination of the contract the houses to pass into the ownership of the ten men entering into the agree ment. The names of the parties are as follows: F. P. Drew, NJ. J. Galpin two houses, LeBaron & Miller, Stapley & Son, Jos. Standage & Son, Leo Le- Baron, w. F. Drew, Johnson & ShiIl two houses. In order to illustrate, take the house to be erected by Mir Galpin To- and they will erect the foundations for the houses. As soon as they have com pleted the foundation for MT. Galpin they will receive one-half cash for their work, it being agreed that they shall work at their regular cash price Messrs Johnson & Shill are brick ma sons. They will follow with the brick work and upon the completion of their work on the Galpin house they will receive half cash for their work. and so on down the list, MT. Galpin doing the carpenter work, F. P. Drew fur nishing the lumber, R. N. Stapley X Brother doing the plumbing, w. F. Drew drawing the plans. Leon LeBar- on doing the painting, Miller ( LeBar- on furnishing the lot-all receiving one-half cash for their land, labor or material. The second house to be erected may belong to Jos. Standage & Son They will in turn pay the re- spective builders One-half cash for material. labor and land, but their wages will have been coming in so that in the event that they did not have the ready cash to meet these expenses their labor will at least assist them i'm, 1af vxrhi nl, they did for Mir Galpin in the erection of his house will be credited to their account when he completes the car penter work on their own residence. In the event that one house is to cost two thousand dollars the difference will of course have to be met cy the man en- toying the more commodiOus and ex- pensive structure.
 The agreement, which has been signed and which has already been en- tered into provides that if for any req son one of the ten parties should draw out for any cause that the half of his services which forms a sort of a sink ing fund shall remain with the asso- citation and he of course would derive no material benefit therefrom.
 The plan is meeting with favor and no less than three other parties are desiring that a similar syndicate of builders be formed for the immediate erection of a number of houses throughout the city and in additions soon to be made adjoining the city
 One commendable feature of the plan is that the houses to be erected are to be modern throughout and with side walks both in front and leading from
 the front walk to the house. The plan
