A Growing City.
1t is, however regarded a gratifying
showing of the rental market, for it is evil
dent the population of the city is growing
There is practically no other explanation of
the present situation. There is no reason
to suppose that this growth is likely to
diminish in the near future This fact, to-
gether with the assured prospect of the
spending of large sums of money by the
government for public work, thus providing
employment, gives reason to believe that
the coming months will be prosperous ones.
There seems to be an impression that the
amount of building at the present time
would be much greater if some of the con-
ditions were different, and 1t is hoped that
the difficulties now in the way will be ad-
justed and that confidence Will be restored
in the permanency of market rates for labor
and material The uneasiness in the money
market will be soon dissipated With
money In abundance, building interests
would again be active.
