Wa.''.s"a's Business Revival.
A Season of Unparalleled Ac-
tlylty in Building.
z he Names OF the Parties
Building.

Never In the history nof Watertown
was there SO much building going on as
at the present time, and throughout the
entire city we have the evidence of sub.
stantial growth and prosperity. Our
mechanics and laboring men are all busy,
and many more artisans and lahorers
could find active employment here just
now. A new era has assuredlv dawned
upon Watertown. Confidence seems to
be restored and people are no longer
afraid to make investments on account of
the bonded debt which the highest courts
say is virtually settled and need be no
further obstacle in the way of our prog
ress. The Improvements here this
season will probably aggregate in value
$150,000, and it is safe to estimate that
the number of new buildings that will
be erected before snow flies next fall will
foot up to 100. Our growth is not of a
speculative character-a Graw upon the
future-butis permanent and substantial,
with an honest demand for every dollar
of the outlay, great majority of the build
ings in course of erection being intended
for homes for the parties building.
We have taken some pains to procure
list of the new buildings being erected
within the city limits and although, per-
haps, incomplete, it will prove that there
is solid foundation for the report that
Watertown is enjoying boom. Where
it was possible 10 ascertain the estimate
cost of the building it is given. In this
survey no mention is made of the many
houses all over the city that are under
going repairs and others being enlarged
by fine additions, in many cases max.
ing the structures better than they were
originally.
