Opelousas has shown an unprece

past year or eighteen months, and
that, too, despite the' fact that all
building material and labor has been
at top prices and only recently show
ed a marked disposition to take a
slump.
During the period of time mention
ed, innumerable modern homes and
bungalows have been erected, and it
they were all collected on 'one or two
residence streets would present quite
an imposing and favorable appear
ance for a city the size of this. These
homes have cost in the aggregate a
large sum of money, and taken singly
have cost various sums, ranging in
several instances as high as ten thous
and dollars.
Out on East Grolee street a number
of bungalows have gone up, On Main
street several more have appeared,
one of the most imposing being the

L. J. I adeOn South Main street
Dr. A. M. Haas' ne hoe is well a~l
vanced and wheafished will im
prove the appearances of that section
of the city remPj bly.
Quite a numher of the older resid
ences have beef- reconstructed at
great cost',and as they Were originally
built of the best grade -of lumber
i once easily obtained-they are today
classed as practically new buildings
and bid fair to last for many years to
come.
A number of citizens, long contem
plating the erection of new hotnes but
held back by the excessive cost, are
thinking seriously of starting to Work
on these plaza, now that material has
decreased in cost. It -is rumored that
within a short time several magnifi
cent homes will be erected for occup
ancy by their fortunate owners.
On the other hand, there is not a
vacant residence in toawn and there,
still seems some demand for rental
property. According. to ,well posted
parties, the gleat .aston why more
homes for rent havg not been erected
was the high cost of building and the
low rental income. Therefore, one
who invested his capital in homes for
rent faced an actual loss.
In the matterif business structures,
several structures have gone up, not
ably the big brick building of the
Christman-Riseman company, on
South Market street and the Stander
store on West Landry. In normal
tirpes, when brick and labor was much
cheaper- these buildings could no
doubt have been erected at one-third
less- than their actual cost. However, I
their owners could not and did not
wait until the doubtful *turn of nor
. =, __
mal times and preferred to build at
the presedt time and get in business
.~lle the running was good.
After the present demorilization in
markets and prices subsides, it is
generally believed, there will be an
active resumption in the building ac
tivity so conspicuous in the past eigh
teen months. While prices were high
and constantly rising everyone rush
ed in to build before things got high
er. Now that there is a tendency
to fall, people are waiting until the
botton of prices has been reached,
and then watch Opelousas grow!
