BUILDING
Will BOOM
Ground Is Broken For
Many New Buildings.
CONTRACTORS BUSY
In Spite OF the High Price of
Materials, Many Houses
and Business Blocks
Will be Built.

During the first three days of this
week ground has been broken for a
large number of new dwelling houses
in different parts of the city, ana The
indic atoms are that thers will be an
unprecedented amount of building don"
this spring. Building has proceeded
steadily all through the winter, but the
increased cost owing to delays caused
by the weather conditions deferred
many from proceeding till spring.
Contractors report that they have
an unusual amount Of work in sight
and there Is no doubt in spite of the
high price Of all kinds of material, there
will be great activity in building in the
city this spring and summer.Should
lumber and iron products drop in price
many more would build homes.
Real estate agents are unanimous in
the opinion that never in the history of
Canton has there been such a demand
for houses to rent. There has been a
scarcity for the past two or three years
but it is getting greater. Families are
moving to the city daily to seek homes,
but it is almost impossible to supply
them. They are compelled to move into
a few rooms or take some undesirable
III thut thClc
are no empty houses that are in good
locations or in decent repair. This
scarcity has compelled many to build
who otherwise would have continued to
rent.
1t is said that those who have proper
ties that they rent consider that their
money is better invested than If 1t was
loaned out. They realize a good inter-
est and renters are so numerous that
good tenants can be secured easily.
They do not care to sell and are build
ing more houses.
This cativity In building has also
stimulated the sale of vacant lots, and
there Is considerable activity in the
desirable residence portions of the city
and in the vicinity Of the new industries
that are to be built. Prices of lots have
not advanced, but the demand is so
great that an increase in price for the
most desirable locations is anticipated
1t is expected that rents will be ad-
vanced in some quarters the first of the
coming month, which is the beginning
of the house renting year. Landlords
claim that the situation warrants an
advance, but renters generally are of
the opinion that they are paying enough
as 1t is. Should there be much of an
advance there will be others who will
build for economy's sake.
