Yeti We havenot contented ourselves with this
phase Of improvement and extension. School
houses have been erected for the education Of the
people, tasteful mansions have been bnl1t for tho
reaadence ct the rich, and churches have sprung
up n:seyerl localities, md factories md ware
housess s0Ethe most gigantic mould have risen
around nss AHastiug the commercial greatness Of
the city, the enterprise Of its business men. And
our et1ects haye-been much improved. Whole
blocks Of stores haTe been added to the city, and
old ones have been raised, extended and beauti-
fed. Yet, because d the great prepondc1ance of
the working element, any attempt at specific de-
sc4iption would. convey no Just Idea Of the work
done. 4 statement OF the work taken from the
Offices Of architects would be very incomplete,
failing entirely to include that large class Of build
fngs which have been put up on private planning.
Neither would 1t interest .,the public to print
heightened details Of buildings erected On private
account. Public buildings, as churches, schools
and halls, arc matters Of pube interest," and those
great structures which have added so much to CUR
commercial facilities, as elevators and warehouses;
are worthy Of special mention. Beyond this, the
aggregates arc all that will be read.
The following new buildings and extensions
hare been erected and completed during the year
