BUILDING ACTIVE
IN SUNSET PARK
Many New Homes Construct.
ed As Two Streets Are
Opened In Suburb

Interest seems to be directly TO-
cused on Sunset Park since the
spring building season has got I'M
derway, for there are now several
homes being built, and a great many
others contemplated in the inme-
date future.
Interest in this section was start
ed only about three years ago
through the efforts of Foster-Hill
Realty company, and the public soon
found that in Sunset all the advan-
tages offered by any desirable SUI
burb were to be found there. Since
then many homes have been built.
new streets opened, and improve
ments of all types have taken place.
The center of interest right now
lies in the opening of two new
streets, Harrison and Tyler streets.
This property was recently purchas-
ed by the Foster-Hill Realty COM
pany, and work on the streets was
begun Immediately. While officials
of the realty company say that both
of these streets + to be developed,
that Harrison street will be the first
to receive particular attention. One
new six room home is now under
construction on Harrison street and
for sale, and several others are now
being planned, both by the Foster
Hill company and individuals. The
homes planned are to be 5 and six
room bungalows, up to the minute
in every respect, but are to be priced
to appeal to the vast majority of home
seekers who have heretofore found
it impossible to get the home they
want in the price range they can
afford.

HOUSE 0VERRIDES PRESIDENTS VETO
 OF BENEFIT BILL
Over Seven Million Dollars Be Granted 10 15,0OO
 Officers and Men

WASHINGTON, April 25. - The House has voted to override Presl- dent Roosevelt's veto of the bill granting an estimated seven million dollars to some 15,000 officers and men who were held in the Philippine Island service after the Spanish American War.
 Acting speaker Rayburn announc- ed the roll call as 274 for overrrid- ing the veto and 92 against.
 A two thirds ajority of those vot- ing is required.
 The President, in disappearing of the measure by his veto, said it was similar to two others he previously vetoed and the measure would con- stitute madvisable "gratuity" since those affected have already received just compensation.
 The measure was sponsored by Representative Martin F. Smith of Washington and provided travel pay also allowance for subsistence to its beneficiaries.
