It is a conservative estimate that
fully fifty houses will be erected in
Brenham during the next twelve
months. It is approximated that
these homes will cost about $1,800.
The famine of rental houses, it is
believed will be fully relieved. In
all sections of the city houses are
being erected for homes whil in the
new additions, many contracts have
alread ybeen let and work started.
H. G. SIMMONS HAS
REMOVED OFFICE TO
STATE BANK BUILDING
H. G. Simmons, prominent life
and fire Insurance agent has remov-
ed his offices from over the Rexall
Drug store to an elegantly appointed
suits in the Washington County
State bank building. Workmen were
engaged Tuesday removing the fix-
tures from the former offices into
the new.
Mr. Simmons is in charge ot two
offices. His own, in which he is the
local agent fo various fire Insurance
companies, while the Equitable Life
Insurance company of San Antonio
also maintains headquarters here
under his direct supervision. The
new suite is one of the more attrac-
tive in the city. It la conveni-
ently located, with plenty of ventila-
tion and light and is most accep-
