WANTS CITY LOTS
RESTORED TO SALE
A movement Is on foot. lnaiiEUratcd
liy the Chamber of Commerce direc
tors, to have the chamber shortly after
the first of next; year conduct a home
builders' campaign In the city with a
view to the chambor's not only sell
ing the 100 remaining lots which the
city holds on account of delinquent as
sessments, to proBjjcctivo home build
ers, and thus relieve the house short'
age situation in tho city, but also rid
the city of this troublesome real eBtate
burden it Is carrying.
While tho chamber's plan is not yet
fully outlined, it provides for tho city
council's cooperation, and the selling
of city lots on paved streets at their
cost to the city in other words tho
amount of tho unpaid assessments on
each lot. Hut such lots would only be
sold to bona fide purchusors who
would promlBe to begin wlthln-a year
constructing a dwelling. Evory safe
guard would be provided to prevent
lots being bought for speculation.
Former Mayor C. E. GatOB Is the
chairman of tho special chamber com
mittee having this plan in cbnrge, and
he with Voiney Dixon and Ed White,
of tlie chnmbor directorate, and Sec
retary Frohbanh, secretary of tho
chamber, conferred informnlly with
the city council nt last night's moot
ing. Mr. Gates wns crilof spokesman, and
lie outlined tentative plans for such a
home bulldors' campaign, after first
requesting the council on behalf of tho
chnmbor and other businoRS men he
represented, to ronton) the lots to snlo
In accordance with such a plnn. The
council only recently' withdrew those
lots from sale until hlghor prlcos could
be put on them.
The city administration is under
stood to look with favor on tho liloa
advanced, but no forma', action wns
taken at last night's mooting and none
will be ' until tlio- chamber's plan is
fully worked out and ready to put In
operation with tho city's cooperation.
