HOW THE CITY GROWS.
NEW BUILDINGS GOING UP ON ALI.
SIDES.

| then building mas oeeh SoiHB on
rapidly. Houses are going up
on all sides. The question; "Where
are the people who are going to live in
themg' is answered by the fact that nc
sooner is house built than it is occupied.
Real estate agents say that there are
fewer houses to rent than there has ever
been. There are dozen or more appli-
caats for every desirable place that is nd
vertised for rent.
| THE CITY WANTS ROOM.
The suburbs are building up and people
| are moving ont from the heart of the city
| to where they can get more room. Room
is what Savannah wants. and the suburbs,
where five years ago there was hardly a
| single house, are dotted all over with com
portable homes. The building boom is not
confined to residences, but the splendid bus
mess houses that are being built
show that the city's rapidly in
creasing trade demands more room
and better facilities The Guckenheimer
building, at Bay and jefferson streets, which
has just been completed, is the finest com
mercial building i'll the city. The Wilcox
building at Bay and Whitaker streets,
which will be occupied next month by NJ.
Ferst g. Co., is very nearly finished. The
NJ
Whit aker street, between State aud PreSi-
dent. are nearly up, and the building will
be completed next month.
