buildings which were the pride OF tbs

The scene OF destruction and deSciation

hardly be able to believe bis own words
which we're spoken only year ago.
Immediately after the fire the citizens
Of the Royal city determined to stay by

Till now only few remain.
Tho residential portion Of the city has
also been rapidly rising from Its ashes.
Nearly 100 residences have already been
completed and plans are being prepared
for q lot more.
The greatest Improvement In the re-
building Of the city Is noticeable In the
long line Of docks which line the water
front. The most OF these wharyes which
stood before the IRE were pioneer styuc-
lures Of the early days and were rather
poor edihces. The ones which now stand
IN their stead are all substantial build
