Burlington weekly free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1866-1928, 1893-04-27

Is Burlington growiugy Nearly 500, goo
will be expended III the construction OF
buildings and improvements in this vicinity
this year. 10 many this tuay seem in
credible, but a perussl OF the appended
facts will demonstrate its correctness to tho
most eXaCtiug. II confirms the olt-repeated
assertion thar Burlington is enjoying mar
vellous prosperity and j. having a gro WITH
wholly Unparalleled within her history.
Probably score or more Of residences
costing anywhere irolu $3.50 TO $500, other
than those mentioned, viii 30 erected dur
ing the year. Many Others are talking
about building, but It ia quite possible that
they may think Of IL till next year before
arriving at u determination.
OF course, TO thus early specify every
house which will be built and every i'm
p,ovemont which will he MADE in thp city
IL 1913, is an mpos .ihility.
tact3 relative TO II municipality arc gen
orally compatible; and that is unqucstion-
ably true IN this case, as the Industrial pur-
suits Of Burlington are certainly in har-
mony with these figures. All her industries
ami various k!nds OF business are flourish
ing never before
The figures below foot up GGGS, 700, but
this does not allow for any repairing of
houses, for which more or less money
IS constantly being expended. Then,
If the city should conclude TO extend the in
take Of the water supply out two miles far
Their into tho lake, it would necessitate the
outlay Of seine so, coo, which would bring
the total amount above the stated figures
With SO much building going on, Burling-
