erection, early in the spring, Of Iwo-rtory
brick building on the north side of Shawnee |
street, pesr Fifth, 24,5O feet, which he
will occupy.
THE DEMAND FOR DWELLING HOUSES.
The demand for dwelling houses at |
the present time is especially great, and |
there has probably not been a time in the |
history OF tine ell during the last twelve |
years when there has been such dearIh |
of eligible residences, ali of them being &C
cupi-d by tenants who are willing 10 pay /
any prices asked by the landlords to keep
them New arrivals in the city this season |
have been compelled To put up with any
thug they could get, being obliged to
wait for something better TO turn up.
THE FURoR FOR RESIDENCES.
Indications point TO the erection the
coming season OF an unusually large num-
Der Of sidences in this city, III nv of them
10 be Of an elegant character and the ma
DriIy # them 10 be OF brick. The great
lack OF eligible residences 10 Accommodate
new comers has awakened an in
crest in building which will bear good
fuits before the season Is over. THIS in
lself Is as good an indie ttion as could be
SiShed for, al it shows that il the popula-
100 w,re not upon the Increase there would
be no need Of -dding 10 the already large
lGBi5er Of dwelling hUJ-eS. The season OF
.S19, sccHdIrg 10 present prospects, will be
prof one for builders and an equally
Profitable one 10 the city.
