Park prices would remain as before the
war Mr.. Kilby said
"Stone for foundations. sand and
gravel are to be had from the property.
Thus nature and foresight OF the owners
in purchasing largo quantities Of build

effect are factors that make II possible
to keep the prices down, so that one
can buy home at Mountain Lakes Park
at the same reasonable figure that pre-
vailed before the war. That the public,
particularly New Workers, appreciate
this fair and square policy Of not

great demand for houses at Mountain
