Substantial Direction.
The SrAn takes pride in presenting
to its readers a summary of the pros
porous condition in which the year
1891 finds u city. Great pains has
been taken to collect as complete a
list of the business and resident build
ings that have been constructed DUR
ing the past year, as well as those now
in course of erection,and those project
ed for the coming spring. 1t will
somewhat surprise a number Of our
citizens to discover the immense mum.
Der of buildings that have been erect.
ed and the great value Of improve
ments, public as vel! as private that
have been carried to a successful end
during the past year. This report
may not include every building Or en-
terprise that has been carried on in
the city, but it is as complete as we
could make it. Should any be omitted
it Is not intentional and the STAR
will be gratiied, if the names and
amounts are sent in. This report will
be supplemented by individual notices
and the STAR will endeavor to do all
that can be done in the way Of Civ
ing eastern people a correct idea Of
our growth and prosperity. This sum.
mary is not intended for a boom. 1t
Is, at best, an imperfect account of
the city's progress.
The amount of money expended in
public buildings and improvements
reaches the magnificent total of $780,
065, and the money invested in busi-
ucss buildings amcunt to an equally
grand total of S274,9oo. Today we
give the residences, the total value
which is SS,1oc. To this we add a list
of improvements that have been put
in by private citizens, to the amount
of S4,S45. The citizen of Hot Springs,
IL city of 1,5oo Inhabitants has spent
the sum of S7G3,51o. in one year for
Improvements. The large sales in
real estate are not included in this
