81 BUY PROPERTY
FOR OWN HOME USE
This is Record Of Sales Of One
Man for Three Months
Demand Still Great.

Brookhaven, like almost every
other city in the country, needs more
residences and needs them badly,
many, many people who are not able
to own their own home or who pre-
fer to rent them, being compelled to
double up with other families as
a last resort in order to stay In the
city at all. This Is not as II should
be and win undoubtedly be remedied
within a reasonable time.
But be the above as it may, there
Is certainly one gentleman in the
city who has done his part to ac-
commodate those wanting 10 buy res
licences within the past three months
and he is Mr.. Peter Rooney, repre-
senting the Haubtman-Loeb Co.. Of
New Orleans. who purchased the
Pearlhaven property several years
ago. Mr. Rooney has In three
months time disposed Of s Z residence

for white people and last week sold

~ houses to be used for rental to
cclored people, the sale also lnclud-
ing church property and being To-
Gated east Of the Pearlhaven site.
