It depends on whether oil its struck. If it is, the people will come, he says. Experience in the United States has shown that an oil rush is worse than a gold rush. When (and if) that time comes, it may be expected that the demand for houses will be even greater than it was during the years immediately following the Great War. As a matter of fact, there should be quite a number of people living in tents or motor-sheds now, according to the way a borough official has worked things out.
