RAPID EXTENSION
 IF THIS TOWN
What the City Engineers Office Shows.

Illustrating the rapid growth of the city of Phoenix and its adjacent ground is the work of the engineering office of O. E. Turney. MT. Turney who has been absent several months found upon his return that during his absence an unusual amount of land had been subdivided by his of flee The record shows that there were "A acres of suburban subdivi- sions surveys ordered during this time This is all land outside of the city limits and can we'll be called suburban subdivisions because all of the land was subdivided into tracts too small for a living to be made on but of a size that are desirable for the man in town who wishes to live on a suburban tract as a home pur- pose.
 During the same two months there was subdivided into city lots the 40 acres adjacent to the south 40 acres or Kennilworth Place, tract known as Randy subdivision and the Jones subdivision both in Bennetts addi- tion. The engineers office like the building inspectors office is a very safe barometer of new construction work in the city. Building permits in August broke all records and that consequently made a large call of surveys and lots.

Men familiar with the Gaelic tongue
tell us that the alphabet OF that an.
cient language is the most curious of
all alphabets, in that nearly every let

phabet of today comprises eighteen
letters; ancient Gaelic had seventeen.
Now. as OF old, all the letters with
the exception Of &. and IL, which
stand for ivy. furze and heather, are
called after trees.
The Gaelic b now runs: Ailm.
bette. coll, dur, eagh. fearn, gath,
huath. iogh. luis. muin. nuin, DIV,
peith, ruis. suil. teine. ur, which ia
equivalent to saying: Elm, birch, ha.

yew. rowan or quicken, vine, ash, spin
dletree.. pine. elder. willow, furze,
heath. In the ancient Gaelic alpha.
bet the letter h (the huath, or white
horn) does not exist. The alphabet
Is called the beth-luis-nuin, because
