when plans DGAlS IOl MdluC DS tliS chamber of commerce for the open ing of the remaining 25 acres Ot the Pine Crest tract are completed and put into operation.
 The Pine Crest subject last night was considered from every point Of view by an enthusiastic gathering ot prominent Prescott citizens at the regular weekly meeting of the cham Der of commerce, when Chairman /. o. Brown of the Pine Crest com mittee presented his report
 The chamber proposes to open the remaining Pine Crest land to local buyers who will build homes in the district under reasonable building restriction. The installation of sewer, gas. light and water service will cost approximately $70O0, Brown stated in his report suggesting that the tract be subdivided into building lots of sufficient size to make the lots attractive for residential purposes. The size of the subdivisions will be larger than the lots marked out in the first part of the tract opened, and will be sold for from Sl00 to SIPS. The money obtained from the sale of the lots will be turned into the Pine Crest fund for installation of the water, gas and other services.
 Purchasers will have the privilege of holding title to the lots for a period of one year, during which time they must have built within the building restrictions agreed to. Non compliance with these terms will cause the title to the lots to revert 10 the chamber of commerce. In view of the fact that the building restrictions are very reasonable, and that the money obtained from the sale of the lots is to be immediate lv turned back into improvements upon them, there is little doubt but that the tract will be quickly sold out once it is opened. The purpose of the chamber in making these terms, is to afford Prescott people an opportunity of building homes in a section of the city whose improve ment will add a great deal to the progress of the city.
 The members present were in per feet accord with Chairman Brown's s report. Harry Heap believed that the chamber should be ready to put the plan into effect soon enough to open the tract for the summer seq son. It was the opinion of MT. An dcrson that the opening of the tract would meet the approval of local people. Others present, including E.. A. Kastncr, Walter Hill, Dr. Blain, Commander Updegraff, Otto Orthel, Harry Brisley and Dr. Roper, were enthusiastically in agreement with the Pine Crest project R. N. Fred ericks telephoned his approval

 It was decided at the meeting last night that Vice-President Yount should conduct an excursion over the ground, ill order to give the public an opportunity to look the tract over The president was au- thorized to appoint a committee of 25 members to cooperate with Chairman Brown and the Pine Crest committee.
