The owners name their price, and stick to it. They would like to sell, but the knowledge that their property, es- pecially if it is near the Highway is rar from decreasing in value, keeps them holding on until they get their price, The builders find that their houses do not stand idle for long, especially it they are build to sell tor around eight thousand dollars, and are at- tractive in design and in the interior finish. A number of people are buying i lots, and building homes to suit them- , selves. Property in almost every sec- l'tion of the town is changing hands. I Vacant lands on the better residential ~streets are bringing high prices per foot. _ 'iiull]il E gl _ HIUSES n RENT Real Estate Dealers Find They Cannot Fill the Demand for Houses to Rent-Much Building Activity In Mimicp it is almost impossible to rent a house for love or money. Real estate dealers find that it they do chance upon a house sthat is to rent, they could rent it ten times in one day. In the office ot a, prominent Mimico agent, the Advertiser saw three parties searching for a house to rent ,only to be met with the same answer, "Bless you there-is nothing to rent in Mimico." t Peoplet‘rom Toronto especially are anxious to come to Mimico, and de- Sire to rent a home. In many eases they would probably be' permanent residents, but they either feel that they cannot afford to buy in the sec- tions where they would like to live, or they would like to rent until they decide whether they wish to settle here or not, The business area is tyeirurdmtined very largely to Mimico avenue, the Highway, and Church street. This too is most satisfactory, as nothing ini- proves the look of a town more than having the stores all grouped on one or two streets. The nearness to the Sunnyside boulevard is an undoubted attraction to many who are seeking homes. The one drawback is the street car ser- vice. It there was a ten minute ser- vice between Mimico and Toronto, it would cause an ven greater develop- Mimico avenue will be a very at- tractive street when built up . The residences there are of a very good class, and the stores that are being built, and will be built from now on will be a credit to the street. ot it originates in Toronto. This means that more people are coming to Mimico, and that the town is rapid- ly growing; in population and in wealth. The paving of Eastbourne Crescent will make it' a most desirable resi- dential section and in all probability it will be completely built up before many months.

WESTON' Slfflj0 PREMISES n E A ENE EVENT Saturday, April 22nd, 1922, promis- es to be a big day in Mimico, not on- ly for the town and its citizens, but for its birds. For on that day in the Public Library Assembly Hall, the Horticultural Society will hold the first Bird House Competition ever held in Mimico, and it is to be an exhibition of "Houses" built by the boys and girls ot Mimico tor "Our Feathered Friends.” In the Lives of the Feathered Folk of Mimico, as Well as for Children who Build Houses' We all love birds, we like to see them, we like to hear their songs, but, do we ever study them ? Do we ever try to attract them? Do we ever try to make friends with them? Do we ever try to protect our song birds? They will richly repay for any little effort in their behalf. Let us glve the birds a chance to be a factor in our lives. They will bring joy, hap- piness and good cheer, and they are so interesting and valuable. This then is the object ot the Bird House Com- petition to create interest in birds, to attract them to our homes, to add them to our list of friends and place ourselves on the large, ever-growing list ot bird lovers and bird students. meat. Double tracking to avoid wait- ing at switches is a great necessity. The cars are only able to average ten miles per hour between Mimico and Sunnyside. Quicker transportation is one ot the biggest need for Mimico’s progress. The executive of the Horticultural Society believe and know that this w1ll be a great exhibition, and do not want any of the members and friends to miss it. Beware the details of this wonder- ful compktition and exhibition, open to the boys and girls of Mimico: Class 2-Boys and girls, years of age, inclusive. In helping the boys and girls to make their exhibition a success, you are helping yourself, tor you are helping your best friends, "The Birds." Class 3--Boys and girls years of age. The date is Saturday, April 22nd, 1922, and the place is the Public Lib- rary Assembly Hall. Entries and bird houses will be re- ceived trom 1.30 p.m. to 3.30 p.m. on the exhibition day. The judging, beginning at 4 p.m. sharp, will be done by Mr; A, Har- vey, of Toronto, whose fame as a bird student and lover, as well as his bird sanctuary,. is well known. The exhibition will be open to the public at 7 p.m. and at 7.30 p.m. a public meeting will be held for the presentation of the cash prizes and an illustrated address by Mr. T. K. Dockray, of Toronto. We know the boys and girls will remember Mr. Dockray. Don’t you remember him? Why, yes'. He judged the flowers and vegetables exhibited last August by the children and in the evening presented the prizes.
