Judging by the activity that has

One of the large projects for this

the corners of Main and Thirteenth
and State and Thirteenth. Two Of the
lots face Main, and one is on the
southeast corner of Main and State.
Two of the lots occupy the entire Thir-

and State streetse
Mrs. Brock wants to build six houses
on the two lots, five of them to face
Thirteenth, and the one at the corner
of Main and Thirteenth to face Main
street. Her plan is to put up tive and
six room thoroughly modern houses. to
rent or sell, preferably the latter, II
the project can be satisfactorily
financed.
She plans the houses would COST
about $4,000 each. With this object IN
view she has had the lots partly
graded. or as nearly graded as she
wants them until the cellars are dug
