These Are Not All

These Are Not All
 in addition to this wonderful show ing of new homes and new business buildings added to Phoenix, it must be remembered that these figures repre- sent only those for which permits were issued at the city hall and which are within the corporate limits of the city. Residences by the dozen have been built just outside the city limits and which are considered to be really q part of the city, but for which no per n1its were issued at the city hall and no record thus made available. If 1t were possible to secure T correct list of these additional residences. the total of more than s2,250,000 for the past six months would be greatly in creased.
 Development of the residential sec tions is beyond question, the most re- markabIe phase of this great outlay. IL represents, among other things, an earnest endeavor to relieve the ever increasing house shortage in Phoenix; he confidence Of the home builder in he city's future and a provision for he Phoenix of tomorrow.
 City of 5oo0o Soon
 Phoenix, a city of 50,000, is not far Iistant, if the construction develop nent can be accepted as a criterion. The city's growth during the past six months alone, based on the number of new homes. has been 2,500, a yearly tverage of 5000. Ordinarily, popula- ion is computed on a basis of five persons to the household, but in Phoe- lix. seven to the household would be a conservative estimate. .
 Phoenix will be a city of beautiful lomes, indeed, if the standard of the last six months is maintained. The average value of homes constructed in his period has been $3,100, an ex- ceptionally high standard, say builders.
 The development of business prop erty has also been extraordinary. Eff ty-four new business blocks within a six-month period is by far the biggest step forward in the city's history. But even with this development. there is still a shortage of business property. Many new other business buildings are already planned and many will be started this month.
