ors and builders are SO busy that it is hard to
get them to take time to talk, but we have had
|
fore enabled to give herewith partial list of
new buildings that contracts have already been
! signed for:
Mess.s T. j. Roberts g. Son, our popular
livery stable men, have purchased from Capt.
W. P. Slusser the lots west of and adjoining

site, iton;1g on Adams street. Messrs Gilmore
& Davis have the contract for these two build
ings.
Messrs. Shay & Yaeger, our wideawake house
furnishing men, have secured that valuable lot
between B. G. Lewis s. Sons bank and the
Marine bank building, and Mr.. A. j. Fish, the
contractor, has force of hands at work digging
out for the foundation, and is having brick
hauled to build them commodlous store
building.
The work Of laying brick on the large addi
ton to the ST James Hotel is going rapidly for
ward, and when completed it will be as hand
some, commodous and fine hotel as one would
wish to stop at. This is in the same block as
Messrs. Shay & Yaeger's new building and
when both are completed it will be solid brick
block.
Capt. w. P. Slusser will build large iron
warehouse on Jefferson street, work on which
will begin soon as the material arrives

on the lots in Long Grove Addition which she
recently purchased.
Mr.. A. j. Fish has the work rapidly progress
ing on the large two-story addition to Mr.. Geo.
Damons residence on Clinton street and on the
residence of Maj. G. A. Ball, on the"same street
Just across the street from the st. James, be-
tween Hathaway & Co.'S and Constantine AL
gero's, a small brick store building is to be
erected. Mr.. A. j. Fish has already ordered the
material and work on this will begin in few
days.
Godfrey Allen has residence on Boule-
ward street nearly completed.
Numerous tenement houses are being erected
in the different suburbs of the city.
In addition to the above our different contrac-
tors and builders are now preparing plans and
specifications for several other new buildings,
but, as contracts are not yet signed we are not
permitted to give names at present.
These signs of progress and thrift are crafty
ing, and will be viewed with pleasure by our
Northern visitors. Those who have already in
vested in our fertile lands will be encouraged to
improve them and many who have not yet done
so will invest capital here this winter.
