BUILDING BOOM.
THIRTY HOUSES BEING ERE0IED ON The
ISLAND,
Aud as Many More Built During the Sumner
Mon,ts-List Of New Dwellings
Now Going Up.

Owing to the disastrous strike of last
spring, which involved all the building
trades, many contemplated improve
mentS throughout the city were deferred
until next season. Since its settlement
some time ago, however, the building
interests have experienced healthy re-
action. In no portion Of the city is this
more apparent than on the Island. Be
tween thirty and forty houses are now
building, while probably half as many
more have been completed during the
summer This fact, taken in connec-
ton with the decided tendency toward a
regard for architectural beauty in the
construction Of homes on the Island,
