Now that the common council has made
provision for the paying of $13, 900 to Mr..

plain wishes of the people, there Is no
reason why the first warm days of spring
should not see renewed activity In all parts
of the city. Now that the rebuilding of
the furniture factory Is assured there will
doubtless no longer be the hesitancy about
building which has prevailed for the last
few months and the coming season will
without doubt see the largest number OF
new buildings, both dwelling houses and
stores, which have ever been erected In one
season In OwOssO.
