HOmeS Pride Of Cabital
 City Of

The title of the one city that is different than any other in the Southwest may be justly given to the Capital City of Arizona. The barren conditions of the surround ing country prior to irrigation is partly responsible for the lack of lumber for building purposes, and this together with the climatic con ditions is chiefly resposinble for the present type of construction. namely, brick, stone and concrete. A stranger within the city gate, marvels at the solidity in construction of the busi
 ness and residence section. The Spanish or mission type largely pre- .Vails, and the big cool inviting porches shaded with palms, ferns and the climbing rose for which the country is famous. presents pie
 ture of semi-trophical comfort and contentment that must be seen to be appreciated. Arizona is the land of out doors. and Phoenix is it's best known center This accounts for one building feature that is unknown in the north and east, namely, the screen sleeping porch room that all houses are equipped with. Archf- tectural skill of high order is shown in the planning of Phoenix homes, and the blending of the Spanish, Mission, Colonial and here and there a touch of the Japanese and Egyptian type gives this youngest metropolis an appearance. that is pleasing and lasting. Bungalows are most favored in building. but many two story

houses containing from nine to four teen rooms are ruilt. These homes gre as modern in every detail as money can build.
 Special attention is given to the exterior every house has its own piece of ground, the evergreen lawns and parking are one of the winter sights to northern eyes, and as all homes are separate from each other every room is sure of an abundance of sunshine. The winter tourist is sure to take many pictures of the quaint patios. balconies and pergolas that gre to be seen in q day stroll around the city.
 The rapid growth of Phoenix and the demand for homes has resulted in much outside capital being in vested. Homes may be purchased on easy terms and this accounts for larger percentage of property own CTS than is usual in the new West. This condition is made possible to a large extent by the Home Builders company who r2ay also be given credit for many of the beautiful designed homes that Phoenix is justly DrOud Of

Phoenix during the past few years has been adding to it's beauty in the way of paved streets. avenues and bouleVards. During the past four years there have been laid out with in the city limits of Phoenix 6.71 miles of high class pavement The down town or business streets are paved with fiVe-inch hydraulic cement con- crete base with a two-inch bitulithic wearing surface laid at prices varying from $2O9 to S2.15 per square yard. There is also d half block of pave ment in the business section of con crete pavement which consists of : in. hydraulic cement concrete laid with steel expansion joints. The pave ment of the resident sections are . 12 inch asphalt concrete base and F inch standard bitulithic surface. land at st price of S1.50 per squorc yard. Nine blocks of pavement on the Mcdowell Road bordering on the city is a four-inch Bitulithic, using gravel as the mineral aggregate, laid at q cost of $2.00 per square yard In addition to these pavements there is approximately 3E miles of bitulithic and three miles of oil macadam on north central avenue. extending to the Country Club. There is a half mile of cement concrete pavement extending from the city limits fol lowed by three miles of macadam on Mcdowell road.
 on south seventh avenue from the city limits to the Salt River there is nearly one mile of cement concrete pavement sixteen feet wide Considerable pavement is now being constructed for and doubtless the paved area of the city will continue to be extended.
 While many of the country roads adjacent to Phoenix are well graded and considered good dirt roads, there are several main roads that are being macadamized and made into good permanent highways. on Grand ave nue. adjacent to the city. running northwest from Phoenix. are six and one half miles of the State Highway, of which four miles is of new macad am of gravel and sand. with q sand and oil wearing surface. and two and a half miles of reconstructed Caliche roadway. All recently completed at a cost of $26,0O0.0O. East from Phoe- nix to the State Highway work is now being done on several miles oi roadway with a Caliche base and sand surface, connecting with the Phoenix Tempe state highway, to the beautiful state concrete bridge over the Salt River at Tempe
 There are 91.2S miles of streets in the city. There are 35 miles of alleys.
 The area of public parks inside the city limits. including the Capitol grounds. is 32.9S acres. The area of parks outside the limits. is 2S.22 acres, a total of 61.20 acres of parks for Phoenix.
 Phoenix has q fine up-to-date sani- tary sewer, a total in length of 10.G miles, built at a cost of S414,661.S2. The city recently purchased 36 acres

 Then the grouping of the buildings not only adds to their beauty. but to the convenience of the public as well. The down-tO town group-the Federal building, the Y. NJ. C.
