BUSINESS BLOCK DAMAGED Br
FIRE THURSDAY NIGHT,

The absence of any wind prob.
ably saved the Cummings busi.
ness block on the south side Of
Allen street last Thursday night
when fire of unknown cause
broke out in the rear of Mex.
lean pool hall.
The blaze when first seen was
thought to be of little conse.
quence and only one hose cart
was brought to the scene of the
fire. 1t gained strength, how.
ever, when it reached the in.
terror or the building and within
a few minutes spread almost to
the front entrance along the
paste board ceiling. Smoke from
the FIRE was unusually dense and
it was with difficulty that the
volunteer fireman put second
stream of water on the blaze
from the front door.
Most of the damage was done
in the pool hall where the in.
terror as we'll as a number of
pool tables were ruined. The
Sanitary Meat Market. owned
by Mr.. E. w. Crozier and oc-
cupying the adjoining room, suf.
fered slight damage from both
water and fire but was able to
open for business the next morn

PHOENIX is GROWING.
Phoenix Is growing.

Phoenix is growing.
The city Is expanding so rap
idly that former residents who
have returned for visits this year
are astounded at the progress
being made. The development
of the lands to the Northeast
and the North west has surprised
many who have notseen the city
for the past one or two years.
That Is the declaration made
by E0en G. Lane of the Lane
Smith Investment company, one
of the leading realtors of the
city.
Last week I had occasion to
show former Phoenix resident
about the city," said Mr.. Lane
yesterday, and the numerous
new homes sprouting up to the
north as far as the Camelback
road and beyond was a revela
ton to the visitor.
When I left Phoenix there
was very little development be
yond the Indian School road,
my visitor exclaimed, and now
the residences have moved north
until Camelback road is the out
lying boundary OF the residential
section instead of Indian School
road.
The growth of the city is far
beyond it's Legal boundary lines
and the extension of city con
veniences has long passed the
limits of the city," Mr.. Lane
said. The Central Arizona Light
and Power company last fall ex
tended it's mains and now service
is available as far north and the
Indian School. far beyond the
city limits. Water, Sc ewer, aud
electrical services are also to be
had throughout this extensive
area"
But it was the number of new
homes springing up along North
Seventh street, North Seventh
avenue, along the Camelback
road west of Central and even
north of Camelback on Central
avenue that struck the attention
of the visitor. Mr.. Lane said.
I would hardly recognize the
old town." the visitor laughingly
commented, following the drive.
"All of the properties that we're
being pushed as residential sub.
divisions when I was here are
being built up and many other
properties are being developed
as subdivisions. Fowler tract is
practically filled with homes
where two years ago only a few
homes stood. Story tract is
certainly progressing. I counted
almost 20 new homes either in
the progress of construction or
recently built in that section
alone. In North Story there are
four new homes and evidences
of others to be built. In Fair
view Homes there. are several
new houses and others are being
built in West Vernon, Wiltshire
Wellington.
"On the east side of the city
Princeton Heights and East
Princeton Heights have been de-,
veloped beautifully, while Edge.
mere, a suburb. entirely new to
me, shows a wonderful growth.
After seeing the city grow so
much in two years I look for a
further growth during the next
two years that will put the pre-.
sent building program in the
shade, comparatively speaking.
The only need of the city, as I
see it, is the development of
small home districts to the
northwest to balance the deve.
lopment of the northeast, and it
appears that this need can be
easily fulfilled. At least I am
under the impression that with
the building of the new school
on the West Mcdowell road that
there will be a concentration OF
development work in new homes
in that section during the com.
ing year. ARIZONA State Journ.
