Bogalusa enterprise. [volume] (Bogalusa, La.) 1914-1918, 1916-11-09

The situation for rental houses in
Bogalusa is growing more critical
each day and unless immediate
steps are taken at once to relieve
the situation Bogalusa may lose
the opportunity Of having two or
three hundred families locating here
permanently. During tn e past
week there has been an increased
demand for rental property with no
vacant houses in the city. This ap.
plies to both the demand Of
white and colored.
There is scarcely a business man
in Bogalusa who could not take
stock in such a company. The in.
vestment would be certain to yield
a nice profit besides indirectly j.
would Greatly improve the retail
business Of the city by the increas.

locate here besides building up the

looking forward to making their
visit a most ENJOYABLE one. Walter
P. Cooke, President, will arrive In

and remain until the end Of next
week, 1t is needless to suggest
that the city be placed in a most
sanitary condition during the visit
Of our important guests. Since
their last meeting the directors
have done much for Bosalusa and
it need not cause a surprise that
some other important announce.

every piece Of property in the city.
Recently Mayor Sullivan an
nounced the necessity OF build
ing many houses in Bogalusa and
would be glad to cooperate with
the citizens Of Bogalusa. He stated
at that time there were demands
for 100 houses without a vacant
one in the city. He suggested that
200 houses be built. about 100 for
white families in North Bogalusa
and Pleasant Hill and 100 for color.
ed people in other sections OF the
city. It would not be necessary to
try and build all at once but start
about Is and when they were com.
pleted then start work on others.
The only manner in which quick
action could be taken would be to
hold a mass meeting at an early
date when the plan could be gone
over and stock subscribed.
