age and other deterrent factors. Nine teen eighteen compares favora6ly with the previous year, which was the banner period of the townsite's exist ance As announced by Jesse YOakum S7 houses, 40 per cent of which were built Of brick, tile, concrete or other fire resistent material and approXi- mately 60 per cent frame were built. Their estimated cost was Sl5oO0o. In 1917 there were 104 structures erected in Warren with total valuation of S2OO. 900, 49 per cent of these were of brick, cast stone, concrete or. tile and 5l per cent frame. In 1916 S9O.000 worth of new dwellings were built The figures quoted by Mir Yoakum did not in clude the sale Of lots.
 During the year there has been a marked increase in construction on what ill the previous year was the edge of things Along the boulevard. for distance of. several blocks before crossing the street car tracks, almost a score of new houses, all of them modern in construction and tastelU in architecture, have risen. Of these all but two are of fire resistant ma terial, serving to decrease fire risks and therefore insurance permium rates
 Later, when sidewalks have been laid in front of these houses and lawns put in, a delightful vista of beautiful homes will present itself to the eye of the person entering the town over the boulevard
 Another most important step has been the opening of the Terrace tract to employees of the mining companies of the district Although this took place late in the year, there are a number of completed cottages in the tract and several others under con struction. Sewer lines are being laid to afford sanitation to the new addi- tion. while all other modern conven- fences undeIC control of the townsite company also are being made avali- able for these living in it.
 Although h6t- in. warren proper, tae new C. 6 A9Aospital, overlooking the town fromc cthe north, was a distinct addition to it. The hospital in it's interior arrangement has no superior in the southwest The exterior at present is somewhat unsightiy be- cause of the barren appearance of the hill or which it is situated. This is to be remeaied, however, as clumps of trees are 10 be planted around the foot of the knoll, while species of vine making rapid growth will be planted. Thus in a year or two at the outside, the hill will De covered with mantle of verduEe=A lawn surrounding the buildings composing the institution, has been graded and planted. But short time, comparatively speaking, will elapse before this emerald spot is added to the beauties which will re- lieve the view.
 Recently, in conversation with NIT. Yoakum, a resident of California was had travelled his home state from end to end. said that in Warren this dis trict possessed one of the most up- to-date towns in the west He said he had never seen a town in California where there was so much construction of the type usually termed modern It had been explained to him that ev- cry house in the lownsite had sani- tary plumbing, electric lights and had gas mains so near that anyone wishing to use this fuel easily could obtain the connection. In every house completed recently and in fact in most of the houses on the townsite built-in features are in evidence. Cupboards, closets. and even ironing boards which collapse into the walls are to be found in them All the houses have brick chilnneys. while the substantial ma terial used in most of the houses off sets the frame construction of others and operates to obtain a low insur- ance rate for the whole.
