WHERE RESIDENCES
ARE SPRINGING UP

1t is a marvel how residences are
springing up in every direction from
the center of town, but the greater
marvel is that, in spite of this i'm
mense activity, there is yet a cry for
homes that reaches from Dan to Beer
sheba and from Alpha to Omega.
With all these scores of houses,
there are people who are unable here
to secure anything like the accommo-
dations to which they are accustomed,
and hundreds of more houses will be
required before summer comes to meet
the needs of the people.
The greatest growth has been in the
north, south and west, though many
cheaper homes are being erected in the
eastern side Of town. During the year
the city has leaped across the Date
canal with agility, and that branch of
the "Silvery Colorado" no longer in
any degree marks the boundaries of
the city. In like manner, the city has
rushed across the San Diego railroad
to the northward, where one of the
finest residence sections of the city
has suddenly sprung into being.
To the southwark there have been
erected during the past year a number
of buildings of higher character
than were before known in Imperial
valley, and new tracts are being
opened to still further encourage such
development.
The field for capital in such lines is
great, and more people are entering
into it, building houses to sell and to
rent, either of which offers great pro-
fit, while the demand runs away with
the supply.
Imperial Valley press. (El Centro, Calif.) 1907-current, 1914-01-03
Growth of Business is
Shown in Buildings of
Type Peculiar to Valley

fine building there for their undertake
ing business, and other buildings are
being planned. On this street it is
proposed to erect city hall, and if
this is to be a structure of business
aspect it will assist greatly in the
making of a business street parallel
to Main.
The plan to extend the paving this
winter south on Sixth and Fifth streets
to the city limits will tend to draw
to them the traffic that comes in from
the south and southwest and add vast
ly to the Importance of those thor
oughfares for business.
On Fifth street there is also an i'm
portant move to the northward, with
the fine office building being erected
by George D. Armstead, which will
carry the frontage as far north as
Broadway, the offices erected fronting
the Oregon Hotel. More than ever,
this street between Main and Broad
way, on both sides, promises to be-
come real estate row.
Another marked change is taking
place on Main street east, the business
district reaching out toward the depot
in a most satisfactory way. There
f. j. Fleishman is erecting a double
store building, Father Schmitt single
store building and w. T. Bill a double
store building to be occupied by Edgar
Bros. Company, while several other
buildings will follow in the immediate
future.
The only gap on Main street be-
tween Fifth and Sixth at the begin
ming of last year has now been filled
by the erection Of an office building
by Allen & Allen and True Vencill
and by the erection of store build
ing by Jacob Duman.
/ West of the postoffice Mrs. Hart is
just finishing a double store building
and still further out on Main, adjoin-
ing the Barbara Worth Hotel on the
west, Mr.. Sorlei will remove the Main
street apartments to Broadway and
erect on the ground a modern business
block.
Thus, north, south, east and west
the business district grows, still main
tanning the old time center, but show
ing the natural disposition to reach
out in the direction from which the
principal trade comes.

NEW COMPANIES
HANDLING WATER

1t would surprise most people to
contemplate the number of new mu-
tual water companies in the valley,
organized during the last year, or hav-
ing consummated their plans during
that period. As a matter of fact, there
are not less than seven such mutual
companies, each having taken under
its administration an important area
of the valley.
At the extreme south of the Ameri-
can portion of the valley is the small
est of all the companies in the valley,
the South Alamo Water Company,
covering a few farms so situated "a
to require separate canals.
Adjoining this section, but extend
ing further northward, is the South
Side Water Company, organized dur
ing the past year and covering a val
liable stretch Of farm land.
East of these two companies is Wa
ter Company No. ,, formerly known
as the Schenck project, which during
the last year has been brought to con-
summation, after years of endeavor.
These three companies are near
neighbors and owe their existence TO
similar conditions. the topography Of
the country being such that special
service was needed in each case. They
fit in between water districts Nos 1
and 7, and have between them done
a great deal to consummate the de-
