LII Complete List OF Improve.
mentS During the Year.
What town can beat it?
There can be no doubt that the i'm.
provements in Johnson CITY during
1891 amount to more than those OF
any previous year in the history OF the
town, except it he 1890, when money
was more plentiful and there was moth
ing but life and activity on every
hand.
For a year of financial striugeucy,
when every wheel OF Southern pro-
gress seems to nave been reta ded, the
Improvements in our town figure mp
surprisingly.
More than a million and II quarter
of dollars have been expended in
plants, business blocks, school houses,
residences, street Improvements, wa
ter works, railroads, etc.
In the main the structures are Of the
most substantial nature, and for the
most part, the cottages are cozy and 10
accordance with modern taste.
We have %endeavored to put a con-
sentative estimate on all buildings,a and
Improvements in the list, and to this
end the reporter has in some instances
reduced estimates made by property
owners.
1t has been our aim in getting up
this list not to make ? mere show, but
to give, as nearly as is possible, n col7
rect idea Of the improvements, reck-
oued on a cash basis.
Wemay have omitted some in maxi
ing up the list and it therefore stands
open for corrections and additions.
Here it is in detail, and it is a most
iorcible r~efutation Of the assertion by
outside cranks that "the bottom has
dropped out of Johnson City"
