OUR BUILDING INTERESTS.
A LARGE NUMBER OF HANDSOME
STRUCTURES ERECTED THIS YEAR.
The Growth of the City as shown by It's
New Buiidings-A Favorable show
ing-A List of those Erected or
in Process of Erection.

The residents of Burlington have al
ways taken an allowable degree of pride
in its fine buildings and they are wont to
point to the handsome structures erected
each year as an evidence of our growth
and prosperity. Burlington has been for
| tunate this year from the fact that its
building industry has not been affected
| materially by the fear of strikes which
has crippled this branch of business in so
many cities. The wages paid to the men
| have also remained about the same as in
| former years, the best carpenter and join
ers receiving 81 % per day. Help has been
plenty, however, owing to the want of
work in other places, where this industry
| is at "A comparative standstill. Many
handsome buildings have been erected or
are in process Of erection and others are
soon to be commenced. Following is Il
