The advertising campaign, one

EASTERN MEN To
FINANCE 1000
NEW HOMES HERE
Philadelphia Capitalists Will
Assistin Meeting Housing.
Situation, Which Will
Soon Be Serious.

Philadelphia capitalists, headed
by Samuel NJ. Vauclain, president
of the Baldwin Locomotive works,
outlined tentative plans last week
for the financing Of at least 1000
new homes which must soon be
erected in Albuquerque for the
special accommodation of the in
creased force of men who will be
employed at the Santa Fe railway
shops here as soon as the present
labor difficulties are ironed out,
While on his trip east, M. l., Fox,
director of the chamber of com
merce, spent several days with Mr.,
Vauclain and other interested
financiers, some Of them connected
with railway companies who are
outlining the proposed plan and
making a careful review of the
situation.
Mr.. Vauclain visited Albuquerque
several weeks ago on a western trip
and made a survey of the housing
situation in the city. While here
he was the guest of David e. Bar
ton, superintendent Of the Santa Fe
shops. Mr.. Vauclain held num-
Der of conferences with chamber
of commerce officials during his
stay here and his decision to as
sist in the development of the city
is n result of this visit.
1t is estimated by Mr.. Vauclain,
his associates and officials of the
Santa Fe Railway company. that
when the shops are running to ca
pacity, at least 1000 new homes
will be needed in the city for the
accommodation of the added en-
ployes of the railway. This does
not take into consideration the
homes which will be necessary to
house the other newcomers who
will locate in the city as a result of
this large increase in it's develop
ment.
Exactly how the building pro-
gram will be arranged and how the
Philadelphia financiers will CO.
operate with Albuquerqueans in the
development of the city has not yet
been thoroughly decided. The plans
will be completed, however, within
a short time so that they will be
ready to be put into action as soon
as the present labor troubles have
been entirely settled and the shops
including the large new additions,
begin to increase the number of
employees to capacity.
