The Arvada enterprise., 1922-11-30

AS the people OF Edgewater give
thanks to God for individual bless
ings at this Thanksgiving season of
1922, they should also remember to
give thanks for the gre ,stt and pros
rerity of the town. Viewing the
situation from the standpoint of
civic pride we have more cause to be
thankful this year than ever before
in the history of the town. The
closing days Of November and the
coming in of the Christmas month
brings to mind a few interesting
facts that may be profitably review
ed by anyone who has ever said "it
can't be done,' when some plan or
project was undertaken.
The last week of Nov. 1921 wit
messed the signing of a contract be-
tween the Town of Edgewater and
the Jewish Hospital for Consump-
tives, located on West Colfax ave.,
whereby the hospital was granted the
privilege of supply of water suf-
ficient for its domestic and hospital
purposes. This arrangement has
been of mutual benefit to both sign
ers of the contract.
November 81, 1921 was day of
spiritual rejoicing in Edgewater for
on that day the new Community
church was opened. This magnifi-
cient building has proved to be ade-
quate for the social and recreational
life of the community and great
fore for the upbuilding of the King
dom of God in our midst.
On November oath, 1921 the Edge
water Community News made its
initial bow in the Arvada Enterprise
md we quote the following from an
editorial published in the Nov. oath
issue. "What Edgewater needs is to
take her head out Of the clouds, turn
its bask upon star gazing. come down
to solid earth and establish and pro-
mote few small industries such as
a small town can support and that
would be profitible to small COM
munity. Million dollar enterprises
are not coming to Edgewater, nor
would they thrive II they came, but
there is a field for a few thousond
dollar investments that would be Of
mutual benefit to the town and the
investor"
From the Dec. LIST, 1921 issue Of
the Enterprise We quote "What
Edgewater needs right now Is new
hown hail." And We are inclined to
believe at this time to believe that
our needs are to be met and dreams
Of . greater Edgewater soon to some
true.
This Il indicated by the activities
Of the recently organised Civic As
ISOLATION, with q movement under
way to build . new two story Town
Han which will cost approximately
$4,000 and the plans for a state
bank. A new dairy has already been
established in Edgewater and bak-
cry and laundry are to be opened In
the immediate future. ]. A. john
son is planning to establish lumber
yard and if the building boom Of the
past year continues he can feel as
sured of liberal patronage.
Edgewater's new civic association
now has fifty members who hold re-
gular business meetings semi-month-
ly. The association has adopted the
slogan Of $4,000 in 1890" in keeping
With Denver's campaign for 100000
in $780,"
It Is a noticeable fact that Edge
water has never before had such
large number Of visitors from the
business world. Men from Denver
and other points in the state are
making inquiries and surveying the
town with q view Of taking sdvan-
taxe Of the business boom in Dem
ver's most enterprising suburb.
