YEARS CONSTRUCTION RECORD.
A Gratifying Exhibit of Po,tIand's
Material Growth in 1890.

Inc building season of 1890, which is now
rapidly drawing to close, while by no
means phenomenal In the amount of work
done, yet compares favorably with former
years and shows conclusively that Portland
Is growing steadily and the waste places
within our borders are being occupied one
Dy one. At the present rate of work the
time Is not far distant when there will be no
more vacant land In the present city limits.
Alter that time Is reached. unless there Is an
acquisition of more territory, WORK in the
building line must be simply replacing of
| old with new and improved structures.
1t is not alone in the construction of build
| ings that much has been done. Other i'm
| portant improvements have been made. The
city has done much of this. The Fort Allen
lot has been purchased and fitted up as
public park. Much has also been doue at
Prospect Point on the Western Promenade
In improving and identifying. Considerable
| paving has been done this year, portion
| of Congress street having been laid down to
| granite blocks, while two strips of asphalt
have been laid as an experiment. The
bridges leading out of the city have also re-
ceiyed needed repairs. The Horse Railroad
Company has extended its line at the urgent
request of citizens through several streets on
MuDJoy hill to Fort Allen park and has made
many improvements along the old line. The
Maine Central Railroad ha, built station
aud other buildings at Thompson's Point
aud has put In another track between that
place and the Union station, besides rebal-
lasting and otherwise improving the tracks
formerly in use. The most important rail-
road work in progress during the year,
and probably to be completed before 1891, is
the Rochester extension, already fully de-
| scribed In the PRESS.
OF buildings erected. the most important
are the hospital addition, the Green street
school-house, the Burrowes screen factory,
the new factory of the Diamond Wren Oh
| Company and the Swift refrigerator and 9TH
or buildings on Commercial street.
As will be seen by the following list which
Is believed to embrace substantially all the
| work done, there have been built during the
year large number of small dwelling houses
| to be occupied by those who build them.
This is to be taken as good sign for Port
lands prosperity and good character as city
of houses and is probably due in no small
part to the loan and building associations.
The following are the buildings erected or
