Construction Of 100 Modern Homes
In West Salem to Relieve Shortage Of
Houses Is Announced By AN. Bush

Arrangements have been completed
by A. N. Bush, president of the Ladd
and Bush, bankers, by which he has
acquired title to one hundred lots in
West Salem and Kingwood Park. Mr..
Bush will build houses on these lots
to be sold to prospective purchasers
on easy terms and at a low rate of
interest.
Extreme scarcity of houses is re-
sponsible for this move which has
been undertaken more to relieve the
housing situation than as a money
making enterprise. Many people
who would like to locate in Salem are
not able to do so on account Of not
being able to find places in which to
live. '4s
< r, B. Dorney, who will have ex-
elusive charge of the actual building
and selling of the houses erected in
Kingwood Park, has opened offices
in the Oregon building and has let
the contract to Gilbert NJ Douglas,
well known builder, for the first three
of these houses. Construction work
was started on them last Tuesday.
The houses are to be of the bunga-
low tyne each containing five rooms
and bath.
AS stated by Mr.. Bush, the houses
are being erected almost entirely with
but one idea in view, that of eating
the house situation in Salem so as to
provide living accommodations for
men and their families. The bank real

Hurt Better and
Interviews May
Be Held Today

Los Angeles, Cal, Apr. 16.-The
codition of James R. HURT, alleged
bigamist, was so improved today that
members of the sheriff's investigating
force here said they hoped to inter-
view hi mtoday and see whether he
was willing to discuss with them any
of the alleged 23 bigamous marriages
that they say have been traced to
him, or to explain the whereabouts
of eight of his wives" who appear to
be missing without trace.
HURT is shackled to hospital bed,
under constant guard, following his
attempt to kill himself after his ar
rest
The officers devoted most of their
attention to a study o fthe effects Oh
Nina Lee Deloney, one of the miss
ing wives, whose household goods, in
cluding five trunks, were found In
storage here after the checks for
their delivery had been taken from
HURT. The effects, they said, were
nearly all the usual equipment of a
woman preparing to keep house, but
included oe trunk filled with furs Of
considerable value, one article which
they hoped would lead to further
identification of the woman being a
bearskin rug of unusual size.
While this search was in progress
here, the sheriff was advised that Of
flcers Of Thurston county, Wash. near
Olympia, were investigating anew
discovery of woman's body in
shallow Crane made there some
months ago. at time and under con-
ditions that they believed might have
some bearing on HURTS movements.
Sheriff Veale of Martinez, Cal, was
reported to be coming here to see
whether facts in his possession, re-
lating to the discovery of an uniden-
titled female body in Contra Costa
county few months since, would
throw any light on Hurts activities.
