STARTS ITS WORK
Association Of Commerce Committee
Has Conference and Organizes
for Work

The Housing Committee of the As
Messrs. c. D. See, w. r. Bond, A..
Bratsberg, Marvin Solien, A. Fraser
and r. E. Barron, met recently to or
ganize and start investigation as to
the number of houses that are needed
at the present time in Minot. It was
the general concensus of opinion
among the members of the committee
that at least 100 new homes were
needed for Minot, and that with the
advent of busy spring, with new in
dustries coming to the city this num-
Der would be increased to at least 200
needed homes.
| Mr.. c. D. See was made chairman
Of the committee, while the Secretary
of the Association of Commerce is
acting as its secretary until such time
! as an organization of building COM
pany is completed.
After discussing the matter from al
angles it was moved, seconded and
carried that the Home Owners Asso-
citation of Minot, N. D. be organized
with capital stock Of at least $780,
600, that two kinds of stock-pre-
ferred and common-be sold, the pre-
ferred to be sold to prospective build
ers of homes that needed the Asso-
cations assistance, while the COM
mon stock would represent the invest
ment end of the undertaking. 1t was
decided to secure all information rela-
tive to the organization Of such a COM
pany, and put. the whole matter up
to meeting Of those who might be
Interested at dinner to be held on
Monday, December 18th.
The committee members stated that
Minot at the present time has more
home owners than ever before in it's
history, but that there are hundreds
Of men living in rented homes that
should own their own homes, and could
do 50 with q little assistance from
the Home Owners Association. While
nothing definite has been decided it
would be necessary for the prospect
i've home owners to have his lot free
from encumbrance, and perhaps 10 per
cent Of the value Of the house to be
built as the first payment. Then
the balance would be paid like rent,
only q little higher rent than is usual
" charged for the same kind Of q
house. II ID thought that the capital
stock can easily be raised in the city
among the business men, 50 that work
could start at once and by spring
many Of the homes would be ready for
occupancy.

lar makes the following statement:
