MANY WILL ERECT HOUSES The boose situation in Decatur is: critical A realization of this fact is i fast impressing itself in the mindsl of our people, and relief will come, | and that speedily, when it becomes aj grounded fact. Many individuals will, erect houses at once and many more j are giving the question serious consideration. The formation of a company who will build ten or twenty houses will add life to the movement, and this fall and early spring will find many buildings completed, others under construction and still others contemplated. It is no idle, irredescent dream that one hundred new houses could find occupants within the next sixty days, it is a simple truth and fact, and our people who are looking for investment should build houses and thus put an earning value to their idle money.
