Tim Hkvirw Is entered nt post office in Portland, Oregon, ns mtill mutter of the second class under the Act of Con gress of Mnfch i, 1879, Ono of the most important developments in recent months is the announcement that ar rangements have been perfected for financing u houso building campaign in this district. It has been realized for sovornl years that lack of good houses has been seriously delaying the growth of all of this part of the I'oniiiBula. Homes for the peo ple employed hero have not boon provided to keep pace with the expansion of the indus trios and public works in thi vicinity. Appreciating the need for more gotd houses the business men of the cntiro district have banded together to take steps to relieve the shortage. A stock company has been organized un der the name of the Peninsula Houso Building Corporation, practically all of the industries and leading business houses, as well as a number of the profes sional men, having subscribed for shares. The capital stock of $25,000 is to be used as a revolv ing fund, whatever proceeds ac crue from the sale of the houses, going back into the fund ho that more can ho built. It is under stood that if any profits accrue they will also bo turned back -into the fund until the shortage of housing facilities is relieved. The houses to be built will be of several different types and will bo the very best that can be built for the price asked for them. The company will have tho advantage of buying mate rials in quantities and can save in other ways through tho co operation of tho stockholders, who are tdl leading business man. Tlis is u step in the right di rection, (iood houses for the people already employed hero aru as much needed as new indus tries that will bring in more peo pie. It is especially' gratifying to learn that tlio new company has no intention of building cheap shacks or rows of unsight ly "factory houses." Kvidontly its organizers appreciate tho fact that tho people employed in the industries in this neighorhood are prosperous and want houses that they and the community can be proud of.
