A NOVEL USE
 0F GAS METER
How That of the Pacific Gas < Electric Company is Being Made to Indicate the Rapid Growth of the City of Phoenix

The Pacific Gas and Electric Co
 have completed arrangements with Greene and Griffin and the work of block one, Las Palmas will begin at once. It is interesting to note the extension of the gas into the north ern part of Phoenix. The additions on the east and west sides of Central avenue seemingly have been vied
 with each other to see which should carry it the farthest north. For sev- eral years it was about even between the Bennett and Churchill addition:
 then the extension carried it into the
 Sims addition, giving the west side
 the advantage. The Greene and Grif-
 in Co.,, in their development of
 Evergreen Place. carried the gas from the city limits north to the Me
 DoWell road and the honors remain
 ed with the east side for the past
 several years. The same firms de-
 velopment of Chelsea Place on the
 west side again has brought the gas
 and the city limits even at the Me-
 DoWell road. The development of
 Las Palmas by Greene and Griffin i has compelled them to again make arrangements for the gas extension
 and this time the west side forges ahead with a good lead. Few peo-
 pie have any idea of the growth of Phoenix, but glance at the map in the office of the gas company dis closes the fact that from the gas works, in the southern part of the town, to Las PalmaS two miles of gas mains are used to reach it. This one point will emphasize how rapidly the town is growing north ward. The present gas plant, when first built. was within easy supply distance with all parts of Phoenix Small mains were sufficient to sup ply the limited territory surround ing it, but the rapid growth of all rarts of Phoenix, and the north part l in particular, has compelled the en- ! tire rebuilding of the plant, and the 1 installing of extra large mains foI | at an early date. with the present growth nOrthWard, the gas will soon reach the Indian school The four Nouses under construction at La:

REAL ESTATE

owns or controls exclusively 5000
 acres of land in the Salt River Val
 ley. and while we have no intention
 of taking this land off the market or
 holding it for speculation, Yet we
 wish to have time to subdiVide it and
 place it on the market in smaller
 tracts. We have found that it is al-
 most impossible to induce owners of
 large tracts to allow agents to sub
 divide it for them. so we were com pelled in self defense to do as we
 have done
 Personally" continued MT. Bailey, T desire to see the average holdings in this valley reduced to as low as
 fifteen acres When that time arrives Phoenix will have a population of 10000 inhabitants, and the smaller towns in the valley will have pro portionate population. We can we'll
 support a million people in the irriga ted district. And do you realize the amount of capital that has been in troduced into the Salt River Valley during the past thirty days through the nstrumentality of the Arizona Securities and Investment Company? can emphatically state that we have brought here. during April settlers and business men that will add a million and a half dollars of personal wealth to Maricopa county. For the past year ! and a half our sales have been to par 1 ties that have bought acreage running | from 80 to 320 acres, and while it l has been our desire to get more of l the small buyers interested in the 1 valley. vet owing to limited capital and the unwillingness of the land l owners of the valley to allow us to 1 subdivide for them. this was almost l impossible. Let me give You an il- ! lustration of two large land owners 1 that did break this rule, however. | We induced Messrs. smith and Tag 1 gart of this city to allow us to sub divide section s, southeast of Mesa. 1 into any sized tracts that we might deem advisable. The result is that ! there are sixteen families living on that section today and we still have l S0 acres for sale. The northeast
 quarter of the same section was pur- ! chased by MT. Owens of California. 1 If the same scheme of subdividing
 had been carried out on the north
 one-half of this section as was done
 on the south half, tWenty-fOur fam ilits would have occupied this section instead of the present number. We would like to reduce the unit system
 to 10 acres in our recently acquired Scottsdale land and if we do this it l will allow us to place at least 1Ot 1 families in this district. This act alone will mean an additional popula- ton of 800 people for the Salt River | Valley The ScOttsdale Ingleside dis | trict is first class locality for sub- l urban homes and for citrus and deci- duous fruits. It also has the advan- tage of being cooler in the summer
 and warmer in the winter than any other section of the valley. The
 spring being much earlier, allows the | farmer in that section to be the first
 to cut his alfalfa. The company is
 also getting ready to subdivide 4Sl
 acres close to Peoria, into truck farm:
 the soil there being naturally adapted
 to the raising of truck gardening anC small fruits and berries.

DAILY SALES
 0F lO0 ACRES
Record Made for a Month by Arizona Securities & Investment Company in the Sales Department Alone

Whats new in realty circles with you people today asked The Repub Hcan reporter of R. R. Bailey, gener- al manager of the Arizona Securities and Investment Co.
 Well" sad Mir Bailey, with that perennial grin, we have done our share of the business, I guess. We can report the purchase and sale of over 3,500 acres of land during the Tast thirty days, almost exclusively in the Peoria, Glendale Scottsdale and Chandler districts. During the past two weeks the company has pur- chased from different parties over ? 1000 acres and to California buyers We have sold in the neighbOrhOod of I,5G0 acres. Part of the land be- longed to the company and part be- ing sold for the various owners in the valley.
 The purchase by the Arizona Sc curities and Investment company of I5O acres of Albert c. Utley was one of the largest sales that has been ccnsummated during the past week The land surrounds and includes the tcwnsite of ScOttsdale. While the land is partially in brush, vet our company will immediately commence to clear it and place it in cultivation. We expect to place the tOWnsite on the market this fall and will divide the balance of the acreage into small orchard tracts. This deal involves capital to the extent of $100.000 o!. over.
 One of the largest outside deals was the selling of 200 acres on the Chandler ranch. We made this sale fer Walter Cook to II. Romer of Cal ifornia. MT Cook purchased this land and 340 acres additional last year from our company, but learned that he could not handle section of land alone successfully. so he sold part of it to MT Romer. who is ex- tenscively engaged in the mercantile business in Orange county, Califor- nia, and he expects to erect and ccnduc: a large mercantile establish ment at Chandler. AS an indication of the volume of business that MT Romes does in California, we are in formed that he carries the farmers of Orange county to the extent of $500, 100000 until their crops mature The Arizona Securities and Invest : ment company feel proud that they were instrumental in bringing a man of Mir, Romers standing to this cal ley
 Our company sold to J. F. Lewis of California 160 acres of highly i'm proved alfalfa land. This is part O1 the 240 acres that We recently -pur- chased from Dr. Dysart. MT. Lewis is also a man of prominence in the county from which he comes. Last Thursday he arrived here with nine carloads of machinery, household fur niture and automobile, and you may rest assured that q man of MT Lewis caliber will be a great hell in the future upbuilding of the Glen dale section
 Continuing, MT. Bailey said:
 We have purchased from land OW- ners in the Salt River Valley during the past month over s250,0OO worth o farm land, and our sales for tha time amount to $175,00 A greater portion of the sales were made or properties that had been listed ex- clusively with the company, and w sold but a very little of the lant that we have purchased during thu past three months. We want to i'm prove our land before placing it or the market Our company pithe
