ing on has caused expressions Of amaze
ment from all our visitors during the last
two weeks. To those who have not visited
the capital for six months the changes that
have taken place within that time are little
less than marvellous, and those who have

business blocks which have sprung into
existence during that time.

going on on the sewer trenches, the early
commencement of the construction of the
Gaynor electric fire alarm, all these come

forging ahead at rapid rate, but yet at a
safe one.
