BUY AND CLEAR LOTS IN REAL ESTATE SCOOP
Buy Up 150 Northeast Plats For Song; Ready Now for Sewers, Building.
By RICHARD LEWIS
Last winter, 100 Indianapolis veterans decided they could beat the] housing shortage on their own, Today, they have the upper hand, When they returned from the wars, they soon learned that if they wanted homes, they would have to Louse themselves, They started out to do it, Moving with considerable speed | and stealth, they picked up 153 ots in northeast Indianapolis for a song, a prayer and back taxes, IU was thie real estule scoop of the year, They distributed the lols among themselves for $25 a lot, a maximum of two lots per family and a gentleman's agreement not to hold |
lots for speculation. Clear Land of Serub Trees The last two Sundays in May,
they threw a picnic on their land, After they gathered up the paper plates and beer they hauled axes and saws out of they cars and fell to, clearing the land of scrub trees and brush. The ex-G, 1.'s chopped and sawed. Their wives hauled the brush away and stacked it. Hardly anybody got poison ivy, which was attributed to providence or the fact that it was too early in the season. The boys whe couldn't fall out those two Sundays for the detail sent their fathers and kid brothers, That saved the group about $500 it would have had to pay the construction company.

Finally he said, “Well, ma'am, I'll] tell you. My mother lives in Bedford Village, up near the Connecti-| cut line, I gotta support her. That's] why I ain't been drafted yet. My! gister lives with her. It'd be mighty nice for me if you were somewhere
around there.” “You mean you could live at home?” | “Yes'm. My sister's workin’ now in a plant in Norwalk. It usta make gadgets, but now it's makin’ parts for planes. Maybe if you
were around there, I. could get a!
job at the plant, too, and make some extra coin. I sure need it. The way you help me out, T could keep track of you easy.” | A “OF COURSE,” Gayle agreed,
smiling at his simplicity and trust, “Maybe I.could get a job in that same plant, and then everyihing would be perfect, wouldn't it?"

For] months she had taken it for granted she would teach, but she had been too tired and confused to begin hunting for a position. Now it was too late; the schools had already opened. And why not | a war plant? And why not Bedford | Village or some small place near] there? She would maintain her residence in Westghester county, in New York state; she would be near Mr. Godfrey when, and if, she needed his assistance, and she would be completely out of the orbit of people with whom she had associated for the past three years. n rd » EVERYTHING worked out so smoothly that Gayle said she was sure- fate itself was oiling the wheels for her. With Barney to guide and advise, she and Mrs. Mays found a satisfactory cottage in two days’ time. IUwasn't in Bedford Village, but it was in Poundridge, only a few miles away, and Barney assured ‘her earnestly that it was close enough for him to keep continuous watch over her.
