MARYSV|LLE. NEEDS
MANY MORE HOUSES
Order of Pennsylvania Railroad
Company Will Compel Men
to Live in Town

With the issuance of a notice by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company. an
nouncing that hereafter no men would
be called from Harrisburg, the scarce
ness of houses in Marysville has be-
come more evident. At present there
are no vacant houses within the bor-
der of the little cross river town. One
railroader says that If there were
enough vacant houses in town he knew
of thirty families that would move to
town.
With no vacant houses and so many
people desiring to make their home
in Marysville, there is a good chance
for some real estate man. as there
are many desirable lots in the bor-
ough for building. From time to time
there have been rumors of real estate
concerns building houses here, but
nothing has materialized.
President E. B. Leiby, recently
elected president of the Marysville
Board of Trade, in his inaugural ad-
dress last Monday evening, summed
up the needs of Marysville, and en-
phasized the great need of Marysville
for more houses. He said that what
the board wants to do is to interest
some real estate concern, so that they
will erect some new houses, not one
and two, but half a hundred. All will
be occupied.
