HOUSE DEMAND
GROWING DAILY

A notice i'm last nights issue ot
the BrawIey paper states that store
room in that city remains unoccuplcd
No such conditions exists in Ell Ce"-
tro. Every store room in the city is
occupied and business men are clam-
oring for more stores and offices.
Keeping pace with the demand for
more houses the demand for addition.
al stores is becoming more apparent
every dav. In the last week several
former business men of San Diego
have been in Ell Centre seeking To-
cation for the opening of business
houses here but have been unable to-
find anything that promised to be
suitable. =
With the coming of the San Diego
Arizona railroad which promises to be
in operation by the first Of December
if not sooner. Ell Centro will boom
as never before and the need of more
housing facilities is growing more
acute. The matter of houses has
come uD before the Chamber of Com
mercc and the city council and both
bodies agree that Ell Centre should
take immediate action on building
program which will partially insure
the prospective resident a house to
live in.
1t is a well known fact that many
families have been forced to lind
homes in the other towns in the val
ley owing to the scarcity of houses
in Ell Centre, who would have made
Ell Centre their home if houses could
have been found.
Big financial returns await the man
or company that erects houses for
rent in this city. A number of the
business men in the city are interested
in and are fathering a plan for the
formation of building association
which will be composed Of local men
and backed by local capital
At this time propaganda issued by
the government has been sweeping
the country on a nation wide campaign
, to Gown your own home" and if the
proposed building association is form
ed there is no doubt that large num-
Der of renters of houses in FL Centre
would avail themselves of the, oppor-
tunity and would build homes for
themselves. According to statistics,
there is no one thipg that adds to the
prosperity and future of a town as
having as many people as possible
own their homes. In other words TO
have El Centre a city Of homes, each
man owning the home in which he
lives, well enhance the desirablility
| Of Ell Centre as city in which to live.
