How ARE TNKs in Albany, people ask
the citizens OF this city on going away
from home. The Man About Town
makes practice OF taking the inquirer
by the ear and remarking that they are
good, 5000, 900 in the banks ready for
use live mercantile trade, biz bust.
ness for the mills, foundries, etc, u good
building record, many fine residences
having gone up this year, nearly all Of
the habitable residences occupied, u big
cantilever bridge going up over the VIII
lamette, 1900 feet long, fine sewer sys-
tenn being built with nearly 100 labors
hold OF the tools, and many other things,
go to prove the fact. People are realizing
that il is not necessary in order 20 pro-
duce good times for everybody 10 be
speculating in real estate. Outsiders
judge OF town too much by that, an
idea that is all wrong; yet growth de-
manjs reasonable movement in this
line, and tae coming year will see n big
increase in Albany, rs our citizens are
now pretty well through strengthening
up matters Of two or three years ago.
What city needs in this direction is n
good market Of real estate for building
pun poses and not so much for specula-
ton. AS we build we must increase our
in order to furnish employment
for new comers.
