HOUSE FINDING WILL. BE MADE PERMANENT
 BUREAU AT |. IF |.

Decision to make its house finding" bureau a permanent one has been reached by the local chamber of com merce, Secretary Harry Welsh declared yesterday.
 Created ostensibly to aid state fair visitors, the bureau proved such big success during the first two weeks of November that officers of the chamber believe that it can continue to serve the general public in an immeasur- able manner. To this end, Mrs. COW gill has been named director of the house finding" bureau and will devote her entire time to finding suitable To- cations for tentative renters.
 The stream of winter residents now fiocking to Phoenix was another inn portant factor in the chambers action to make the bureau one of perma- nency. Scores of applications are re- ceived at the chamber each day for homes, apartments and housekeeping rooms. it was said yesterday. The de- mand seemingly far exceeds the sup ply. The chamber believes that by acting as an intermediary between rentor and rentee, it can do much tc promote the welfare of Phoenix ane surrounding community.
 With uosing facilities, even now, in- adequate to properly provide for tho incoming guests, officers of the cham Der have appealed to Phoenictans to fiji
 out housekeeping rooms wherever pos
 sible.
 Many inquiries are now on file a 1 the chamber for housekeeping room
 and apartments. No charge is mad
 to either party for this service.
