Veteran Housing
Project Here
Ready Soon

Barring further unforeseen work
stoppages, 80 families of veterans
soon will be at home in neat,
sunny apartments being set up at
the base of Hospital Hill in old
Camp Little.
Apartments in the temporary
housing units will be completely and
modernly furnished and rentals
range from $50 per month down
ward.
While conducting a tour OF the
building site, Mayor James V. Ro--
bins said the city's contract with the
federal government calls for units
to be torn down and sold for salvage
after a two-year occupancy.
The explanation is that the gov
ernment does not compete with pri-
vate enterprising in establishing per-
manent housing, but seeks to allevi-
ate the present shortage of living
quarters available to veterans by
making use of housing originally
provided for workers in war indus
tries.
Each of the units now nearing
completion contains four apart
ments consisting of living room, bed
room, kitchen, pantry, and bath.
Mayor Robins says some apartments
will have two bedrooms. They are
of an ideal size for younger married
couples with no more than one or
two youngsters.
Although constructed of build
ng board, with a concrete floor, the
buildings are insulated and well
;uited to border climate. Some
units, still to be raised are of a
somewhat different type.
Neatly arranged over large area,
there will be plenty of room for
children to play, and families will
not feel too closely crowded The
site is within walking distance of
the downtown shopping district, but
las a suburban, almost rural, at
mosphere. A neighborhood grocery
is being established in the vicinity.
Apartments will have all city
conveniences, with electric lights,
water, plumbing, and separate oil,
burners.
The veterans housing project will
not be able to accommodate all ap-
plicants. Around 60 veterans already
have indicated wish to obtain one
of the 80 apartments. Mayor Ro-
bins has appointed a veterans COM
mittee to allocate the housing to
rental applicants.

Local Phone
Office To Get
New Facilities

Lowell w. Vinyard, manager OF
the Nogales office of the Mountain
States Telephone and Telegraph
Company, yesterday announced that
service facilities here soon are to be
greatly expanded and at least $4,000
worth of new equipment is on hand
with which to begin the improve
ment program.
A new switchboard section, calling
for the service Of three additional
operators, is to be installed. Also,
800 lines will be added to the local
board, making a total of 500. Four
new teletype machines are on hand
and will be set up in various local
business firms.
Vinyard said adding new phones
to the system entails working much
new electrical equipment into pres
ent facilities, but it is hoped the
work will be completed this fall.
Recent heavy transforms and
lightning damage have interrupted
service on some lines, but the main
tenance staff has located and re-
paired 16 wet places and breaks in
cables, and Vinyard looks for less
disturbance to be caused by any fur
ther storms.

ternoon, Aug. 4.

world famous Hopi snake dance in
which the white men, dressed in
traditional Hopi costumes of the
Antelope and Snake clans, will

mony of the Zuni fire fraternity;
and the Smoki drum dance.

Chief Of Police Soto
Warns Blaze Chasers
of Possible Fines

Chief of Police J. M. Soto yes
terday warned unauthorized per-
sons from following fire trucks on
fire calls and parking automobiles
near the scene of a blaze. Fire
chasing is against the law and
future vi0latOrs may expect to be
taken before the municipal judge
and fined.
Of late, too many people have
been following the fire truck and
causing traffic jams which impede
firemen in the performance of their
duty Only volunteer and paid fire
fighters and officers of the law are
authorized at the immediate scene
of blaze.
Wednesday evening the fire de-
partment answered a call to the
Spohn home on Morley avenue.
They had almost finished up there
when another fire call came in. So
many cars of excitement seekers had
congregated the truck had difficulty
leaving the scene and making it's
way to the next fire.
Upon answering the fire call to
Terrace avenue, they found the
public had so jammed the street the
fire truck was almost blocked away
from the burning house.
1t is against the law to follow a
fire wagon to a fire and park a Car
within two blocks of the blaze, Chief
Soto warned He said police are 60
ing to clamp down on unauthorized
people who get in the way of fire
men and fire equipment and the
law breakers will be taken before
the judge. Also, persons who are
not members of the volunteer fire
department have no business going
near the fire and trying to help. In
experienced men are a detriment
rather than help in the technical
business of fire fighting.
Chief Soto said it is the duty of
every citizen to pull to the curb
upon hearing siren, regardless OF
whether it is fire truck, ambu-
lance or police car. and it is all
their duty not to attend fires where
they obstruct officials in the per-
formance of duty. The chief saiC
he will take steps to discourage fire
chasers without further warning.
