PINE CREST WILL BE
 PREPARED FOR SEASON
(From FridaY's DailY)

lis a good demand for the lots and that the land owned by the chamber of commerce is desirable in every particular It will be necessary to install water, sewerage, gas and cleo Itric services, however, before any thing should be done towards dis posing of the lots.
 In part he said; "A portion of this tract has already been laid off, aud plat filed as the Pine Crest tract.
 Practically the entire tract has bee5 isold to various parties, who have erected homes which they are now occupying there; but there still re- mains, in an unsubdivided condition, "a large area, which 1 should judge contains fifteen to twenty acres. This lis very desirable property and suit able for subdividing; the matter for divided, 1t will be possible for pur- consideration is just how this will be subdivided and just how the lots can be handled and disposed of to the best Interests of all parties, especially for those who desire to acquire tracts land make their homes among us,
 coming from outside districts. By
 thiS condition must be handled in q way that will bring definite and last ing results to the community and that will not entail impossible or undesir- able conditions upon us. We have out there very desirable and valu- able property. The tract remaining unSubdivided is rolling and slightly broken in places with small washes, with channels crossing 1t in a north and south direction, and it has not seemed advisable, after careful and painstaking inspection of the proper ty, that the tract be subdivided into regular blocks, for the reason that the streets would in such case cross and rccross these channels and would require heavy expense in construc- ton and maintenance. The natural conditions of this tract give every promise, if properly handled, of mak ing it q very popular one, and there is no reason why as good residences should not be constructed here as in any outlying addition for the sur roundings are ideal, and, when sub chaser to obtain any sort of lot to suit his fancyAwhether he desires a level garden lot or one containing point of rocks, for the tract contains practically everything. Besides, it is covered with a liberal growth of yourg pine and oak trees. It would seem that the best plan for undertak ing this would be for sewer lines and water pipes to be laid along the streets and then either sell the lots outright 10 persons wishing to build' or else give a long term lease; but with the condition that ultimately the income from the property either di- rcctly or indirectly cover the cost of the installation of these conveniences. There should also be building restric- tions that would guarantee buildings of a permanent and substantial na- ture."
 Acting upon the report of Chair man Brown, something definite will be done with respect to Pine Crest in the near future.
 A vote of thanks was given to Fair Commissioner Bianconi for the splcn- did service he rendered the county at the recent Arizona state fair. Through | his efforts, Yavapai has won for the first prize at the Arizona state fair ill the agricultural department, com peting against the other 1j counties of Arizona.
 Ben Rybou urged that the chamber or commerce as an organization sup | port the Yavapai magazine, ill view of the service it is rendering the min ing industry of the county.
 Chairman Ruffncr of the entertain mcnt committee, will arrange a get together dinner and entertainment for Inc members. A meeting of his com nittcc will be called to rrange the meeting, which will be held early next week
 The chamber of commerce, acting ipon requests from various business ii houses in Prescott, asks that in the uturc when holidays are observed in he city that all places of business Jose. This is in justice to all lines )f activity, and will work a hardship )n no individual or firm when car jed out properly.
