nearly conventional size for C. w. Morath
 On Central avenue is Ashland Place the property of Greene {& Griffin ad- jacent to Los Olives (Phoenicia). In the way of larger tracts there are such as COlter tract on North Cen tral avenue; also Roselawn Heights. a subdivision of half of the Gordon Tweed ranch for E. P. Mccarthy. Greene X Griffin have put out Mead owbrook near the Grand canal. Grif- fin X kalfus have subdivided that old time vineyard known as La Veta and have retained that name for the tract Near the Maricopa canal is Brown Acres, tract near Whitton Acres.
 At the Sierra Vista Bend of the Glendale car line, II. B. Wilkinson has subdivided forty acres into sub urban residence lots which are being handled by c. F. Smurthwaite These twenty subdivisions northeast of Phoenix include 440 acres and con tain 1920 lots
 Since last September ten subdi- NiolOuS lietN bttH Ildue Ill cIluWbSt- ern Phoenix or northwest of Phoenix On Central avenue is the home place of J. J. Sweeny, near the Arizona School of Music. A subdivision of Latham addition has been made. Then came two tracts near the Osborn school, the property of D. H. Telford, which have been subdivided. These lots are being handled by J. S. Grif- i fin Farther north on Central avenue is the home place of C. w. Allen on the Glendale car line, which has been cut up. Also on the Glendale car line is West Orangewood the 160 acre tract of W. D. Fulwiler and In- dependence Acres d tract owned by ] A A. Fairchild

brace 569 acres which have been cut into 300 lots.
 Southwest of town are South Acres, a subdivision of the Frank E. Me Crary. Nearer town is South Capital, subdivision adjoining Irvine addi ton On south Central avenue is Park Tract Acres, a subdivision near the old race tract. These subdivisions in the southwest embrace eighty acres and comprise 203 lots.
 Southeast of town is a subdivision for F. P Mccarthy, a tract north of Buena Ventura on Seventh street Near the Linville school is a subdi- vision for James Kinney known as La Patria; also Casa Chica for A. NJ. Wiatt. These southeastern sub divisions occupy twenty acres and comprise sixty six lots. MT. Turney had at the time this information was furnished incompleted orders for sub divisions which would make forty five lots.
 In Glendale there are subdivisions of eighty acres into fifty foot lots. These are near the edge of the town, surrounding the school buildings This tract is called Catlin court and contains 1SS lots In Tempe there is a tract of forty acres called Goodwin Homes making ninety-one lots.
 The subdivisions in Phoenix and vicinity are classified by MT Turney as follows:
Arizona republican., 1914-05-31

How Phoenix has grown and what plans have been made for it's future growth few beside the real estate men know. It is likely that no one real estate man knows. It would take the aggregate knowledge of all of them to grasp the facts. There is one man who does know an. he is C. A. Turney former city engineer who says that since last September thirty-seVen subdivisions have been laid out. MT. Turney has laid out twenty eight of them. The whole country north of the city to the Ari- zona canal with the exception of small isolated areas has been sub divided. The greatest activity has been northeast of town where twen- ty sub b-divisions have been formed. Among these subdivisions are the fol- lowing: for Greene x Gr:--fin, block Tn Brill addition called Bonnie View. Just east of it in the same addition an added acreage has been cut up for J. M. Burroughs and is included in Burroughs addition Near this a tract has been cut up for B. W. Get singer known as Rosemont.
 In the same quarter section is Bel Vedere a subdivision of forty acres, cut into fifty foot lots for J. w. Stacy. In the neighborhood of Ger mania is Clovis place on Van Buren street, a subdivision of ten acres, di- vided into city lots for Dr. H. T. Bailey, An addition immediately north of it known as Barkley Place has also been subdivided. Monte zuma Place, a subdivision on the Tempe road has been cut into smaller lots.
 The great increase in the value of property in this neighborhood has resulted in the re-subdivision of the tracts into lots of smaller dimensions This is the case in Hurley Heights which has been cut into lots of more

MURPHY AND
 IRWIN BUSY
Will Open New Subdivis- ion on Burroughs Tract Which is Recent Pur- chase by These Live-Wne Real Estaters

So great has been the demand for lots in their Bella Vista Place addi- ton, which is now practically sold out, Murphy & Irwin have just ef- fected the purchase of the Bur roughs tract, immediately opposite and adjoining the northern extremity of their present subdivision facing on North Central avenue, and will put it on the market within the next ten days.
 This makes the third big deal that this progressive firm has completed within the past few months, and judging by their success in the hand ling of Bella Vista Place, and it's wonderful sales record, there is every reason to believe that this new tract will become a record breaker.
 It will rival. if not excel in i'm provements, their beautiful Bella Vista Place. The same old Spanish style of entrances will be erected at the entrances of each street; roses and palms will be planted; parkings. sidewalks and curbings put in; and the same beautiful electrical effects will illuminate this addition in the evenings.
 The delay in getting the water out to Bella Vista Place prevented the earlier commencement of many fine homes that will be begun in the near future. However, this trouble will not be met within their new addi- ton on the other side of Central avenue, for the same 6-inch main that now supplies Bella Vista Place with city water will also supply the new addition This means that building operations will be com menced just as soon as the tract is opened.
 "The men behind the guns have the utmost faith in the north end of Phoenix. and will spare no effort to duplicate their past successes The motto, What is worth doing at all, is worth doing right" will still hold sway in the carrying out of tha | improvements and the handling of this new tract, just as it always has just across the street"
Arizona republican., 1914-05-31

Outside of Phoenix and vicinity 100 acres have been cut into 2SS lots. The average size of all these lots is about one-half acre.
 Said Mr Turney, Tt may be sup posed by some that the subdivision has been greater than the demand for lots. On July 15, 1913, there were 24,9S3 lots in the country. In eight months there was according to these figures a gain of eight per cent for the year. But this gain has not been as rapid as that of the postal re- ceipts. The gain in the school popu- lation of Phoenix thirty per cent was two and a half times as great. The gain in the population if we had any means of ascertaining it would be found to be far in excess of the gam in the number of city lots

That "indescrbable something which appeals to people who visit Arizona was never more in evidence than in the case of the Gardner fam fly, recently of santa Monica, but now full fledged Arizonians. Mrs. P F.. Gardner of 1513 Eleventh St. Santa Monica, grandmother of a six foot resident of the coast city, came to Arizona some time ago to visit She was so pleased with the general conditions, that she talked about Ari- zona from morning till night. Mem bers of the family became imbued with the idea of coming to the Salt River Valley, after hearing her de- scriptions.
 Mother Brings Son
 Accompanied by her youngest son, Phillip, Jr. Mrs. Gardner started for the Salt River Valley, without de- finite plans. She registered at the Y. w. C. A. and inserted an ad in the Republican When call came for nurse in response to the ad she took the position, as her German na- ture rebels at idleness Inside d week Phillip had q position with the Mountain States Telephone and Tele- graph Company. Then word was sent to Norris Gardner another son. who resided at Ventura. He came and l joined the others. He is a cement | finisher and general contractor and already has work. but is looking for a contract in brick or cement. In or der that the Gardner Colony might be complete. the father will come next week. and will be accompanied by 1 Mrs. Norris Gardner
 | Mrs. Gardner states that she has

more sons in Santa Monica, both skilled mechanics, and that as soon as the head of the family arrives and gets a contract he vii send for the two sons and their families.
 Board of Trade to Help
 Harry Welch, secretary of the board of trade says he will do every thing possible to help the Gardners get settled. However he stated to a Republican reporter yesterday that Malcolm Fraser and John Meyers were offering special Inducements to the Gardners. The large amount of building in Tucson was held out as m inducement by the live wire rep resentative of the Old Pueblo Cham

However, Mrs. Gardner says she thinks the climate here is nc; at all bad. and she hopes within the next few days either to trade her property in Santa Monica, for salt River Valley or rent it to some one who expects to visit the coast during the summer.
