without any suspicion OF booming pro-

houses as any OF the gas belt towns

years will hardly be met with the COM
ing season. burt things will not be dead
by a good deal. An Item reporter called
upon the architects yesterday and found
them busy. Strictly speaking they have
not got all they can do" but apparently
they are satisfied and looking forward to

grand start last year and the year be-
fore and which gave such promise Of
increase this year. win drop considerably
