THE BRICK INDUSTRY.

Application has been made for a charter
for a company 10 manufacture brick. After
talk for about a year something OF sub
stantial nature is about 10 be done. Inc
first step should have been made long
time since. but il is not too late TO catch all
the business that can be attended TO, as the
idea Of improving streets by the use OF ire
brick is lust becoming popular and during
the next few wears there will be an unpre-
cedented demand for brick for paving
streets. II has been developed that the
hills about this city contain the very best
CLAW for making hard brick. The earth IS
not found in any one spot, but the material
is evervwhere Sample bricks on cXhlbl
lion show that they are harder than any
ever brought 10 Bellaire. Now that sew
eral Of our business men who are known to
be shrewd. have made arrangements 10
make these bricks, il is more than likely
there will be several companies formed Tor
the same purpose this spring There IS a
good profit in the business and the capital
required is not large, besides il gives en-
ployment 10 workingmen.
BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.
The Board Of Equalization is putting the
screws down pretty hard this spring. Most
of the taxpayers have been notified TO APP
pear and answer the catechism of QueS-
lions There is no bull-dOzing abOnt the
present Board. Questions required by law
are asked and nothing else The Board IS
selected for this purpose and there should
be no kicking by the folks who have TO ap-
pear. The Board has asked for an extern
sion Of time 20 complete its work.
BUSINESS ~ BELLAIRE
Except in few branches, business in
Rellaire has not been so good this year as
was expected, but every merchant who has
hustled as best he could has enjoyed fair
share of trade. Most lines Of business are
over,.rowded I'm Bellaire. There are two
shoe stores for every one there is in Wheel
inc. taking in allowance the population.
The same is true Of the clothing business.
The grocery business is in Il
demoralized condition. IL IS likely to con-
tinue SO IL is any mans privilege to start
a store IL ne so desires and has the capital,
and these things are not helped by COM
plants. Several new industrial plants,
employing several hundred people would
have a tendency 10 make the receipts in all
lines of business much better than at pres
emit
THE BUILDING ASSOCIATIONS.
The building associations continue to
have "A good demand for money, and none
D
premiums paid are not is high as formerly,
but they are high enough. The fact that

confidence i'm the future of the city.
