' ' ' - j '.-'" . SUBURBS BORN DAILY. . Peore of Mew Ooaisinsltles Spriaf Vy la Brash et,eate District. A score of suburbs have sprang up this year In the wilderness between Mount Tabor and Lenta, and at present more than 109 homea are being built in these, some of which already assume 1 the appearance of small towns. Not only are there new , auburbs like Tre montt Arista, Nashville. Ann Marie . Park. Flrland. Hazel Wild. Keln Park. Reservoir Park. Laurel wood and Archer Place, but there are settlements of 20 houses with a store or two which have not had time -to -pick a name, and all through the' Undergrowth the gleam of new lumber and the muslo of hammer and saw show that the boom is on. . The vaet majority of these places are being built on the Installment plan by city workers who have bought a couple of cheap lots. But few of the many new houses are anything but modeet dwell. Ings. and almost all are homes erected by family -men who expect to Improve their places and bring other city ac quaintances to the particular, suburb they have selected. ' . Beldslhe city people who are buy ing and building, there are Increasing numbers Of eastern - men of modest means who have decided to locate In Portland and are building small homes. Many are living In tents until the boa a can be completed, r "j. - CRISIS IS REACHED. : Moata.Tllla Wttof Bupply Waxes aa Dry Beasoa Is at alana. , ' That the acute stage In the' MonU- vllla water situation has been reached was shown yestsrday when, for several hours, the great majority of the con sumers -were without water, because the soring of the company had been ex hausted, and a wait had to be taken for enough water to seep in for the pumps to work. Today a part or the system is being given a small supply of water,. but many . of the more remote mains are empty and over a great portion of the villa today -drought prevails. xne management has finally admitted that there is not water enough to supply the consumers, but say that efforts are be ing made to get ar connection with the Mount Tabor reservoir of , Bull 4 Run water for the emergency. The man agement had asserted that there . wag enough water -if it waa not wasted, but this story has been dropped, it is frankly admitted .that the .majority of the patrons cannot get water needed for household uses and a considerable num ber, cannot get any water at all. day or night. - except In the rare cases whsn consumers, near. the. supply, mains jut not a rawing ror tneir own use. - If connection .cannot be secured ...with the city service Monta villa and. Mount Tabor will- have -ta -depend -tho-few cisterns and wells for watsr until the winter rains come, and many cisterns are being -prepared in the district by property-owners who Intend to have "a supply of water next year, whatever may happen to the water company.
