NJ ALLEN &c S
100000 IN
NEW HOMES
Florida M en- to Build
$4,000 Dwellings in
Valley City.

M'ALLEN, Tex, Jan. 16.-Twenty
modern homes are to be erected in the
Horn and Bartliff 'dition to McAllen
at total cost of from $4,000 to
100000, according to announcement
of Charles n. Smith. here from Sara
sofa, Fla. Associated with Mr.. Smith
in the project are his brother, A. T..
Smith of Buffalo, y. Y, and r. E..
Horn and L. L. Bartliff of McAllen.
The homes are to be located on the
boulevard. or Fifteenth street, and
according to the builders, are to be
of distinctive design. Plans for the
structures. which will cost from $500
to $4,000 each. are now being pre-
pared at the office of City Engineer
Ed Card.
PRETTY DESIGNS.
"The houses will be of Spanish, Ital-
ian and Mediterranean architecture"
Mr.. Smith said, "and will be built for
comfort and convenience with elegance
in interior and exterior appearance.
The leading feature of all the build
ings will be a pGtio or loggia.-
Mr.. Smith is thoroughly sold on the
valley and predicts growth which will
surpass that now taking place in Flor
ida, where he has extensive holdings.
"The valley has all the advantages
Of both Florida and California plus
the richest soil in the world.
NEED MORE ROADS.
"On Padre Island you will have the
longest beach drive in the world. and
that will prove a wonderful attrac-
ton.
Il have seen only the part of the
valley touched by your paved roads, |
but it is all fine. You need more |
good roads to open a larger part of |
Tour country to tourist travel, and |
am sure you will build them as rapidly |
Is possible.
Property values of McAllen and |
he rest of the valley will be materially
by the building of the South |
IN Pacific" Mr.. Smith said.
