about us. New buildings are springing
up so rapidly that building lots are in
brisk demand. and new streets are being
laid out TO supply the growing wants OF
the community. Since business opened in
the spring there has been large increase
of building operations. Mechanics are
all busy and will be driven with work un.
til cold weather compels suspension OF
labor. The erection of many buildings
is already planned for next year. Some
have already been commenced which can
not be completed until next year. and
many more are projected. 1t is busy
time with laborers OF all kinds.
But it is no, in the matter of buildings
alone that the city shows prosperity. The
introduction of the new water system
giving an unfailing and abundant supply
of water for all purposes to the people, is
m important step. 1t gives better water
