SPLENDID GIFT
Crawfords Turn over
Kansas Hotels Bring 8,
ing Large Revenue


Two EI Centro residdlits, n. R.
Crawford and his sister, Miss Agnes
Crawford; are the donors of a splen-
did gift consisting of valuable Kan
sas City property, to the Anglican
Board Of Foreign Missions, the
gross income from which is estimat-
ed at $4,000 per year and which
will he used in fostering the work
Of the missions.
The Crawfords are large land
owners in Imperial Valley, and re-
side on Brighton avenue in this city.
About two years ago they eXchang-
ed some of their valley land for two
apartment hotels in Kansas City. 1t
is this latter property that they
have turned over to the missionary
society.
First attempts to obtain informa-
tion from the Crawfords regarding
the donation were not successful, rs
they modestly wished to refrain
from getting any notoriety because
of their gift. However, they were
shown the following story from the
"Kansas City STAR which has
been reprinted in several Southern
California papers, and then gave
their reluctant consent to having
the story made public:
"Two large apartment hotel build
ings here were given to the Amer
lean Board of Commissioners for
Foreign Missions last week by Cali
fornia owners. The structures com
prising the gift were the st. Fran
els hotel, southwest corner of Ninth
and Holmes streets, and the Rock
hill Plaza apartment building at POS
Brush Creek boueard. Their com
bined gross income is $4,000 all
nually.
I'D. R. Crawford and Miss Agnes
Crawford, brother and sister, who
live in FL Centre. California, are
the benefactors whom the foreign
missionary organization, with head
| quarters in Boston, must thank for
| the properties.
"The St. Francis building con-
tains 81 apartments and occupies 4
corner fronting S4 feet on Ninth
! street and IA feet on Holmes street
in an established district of close-in
apartment hotels. The other struc-
! ture on Brush Creek boulevard, near
Forty-seventh and Main streets, q
highly desirable South Side location
/ has 80 apartment units. Both struc.
/ lures are furnished completely.
