Total sales for lAurelhurst .during the month of June show no indication of a falling-off in the realty market, as has been1 claimed by a few bf the operators. , During June sales In this tract passed a total of $160,000. While this is not quite up to the- sales made, in Laurelhurst during previous months, the difference is very -slight Laurelhurst has made steady sales ever since, it was placed on the. market. That It ia being well received as a high class residence pr t is' evidenced bf the total Lot. sales whiciL ar - over one and ope-half millions of dollars. -. ; Now that the' improvement work is well Under., way the skepticism shown by a few people who looked at the tract during its early Inception on the mar ket has disappeared and people are realising that not alone is the Im provement work in Laurelhurst being pushed as rapidly as possible, but that there is every inaicauon xnai mo im be completed within a very short period of the , time set when the contracts for this work were awarded.' ? Contracts for improvement work in Laurelhurst already under way call for an expenditure of $900,000. Some Idea of the magnitude of the improvements to be made in Laurelhurst may be gained when it Is known that to put the addition in first class condition the owners have ' provided for an expendl-. tare of $1,850,000. ; v x . . , The first section, which, consists of about ' 139 acres,,' and comprises the northeast quarter of Laurelhurst, 1 has received , the most attention, :as it Is planned - to have all improvements In this, quarter completed at once.

The work of" laying asphalt in , the northwest section will be taken up at once.
