The great amount OF building done IN
Wichita during the last year is an indis-
putable evidence of the city's wonderful
growth and prosperity. According TO the
records kept by the fire marshal, over
one-half million dollars have been spent
In the residence and business portions OF
the city. To enumerate the number OF
homes that have been built in this time
would be an enormous task. 1t is esti-
mated by Fire Chief Walden from his
records that nearly 800 dwellings have
been put up. Dozens of residences, cot
tages and the like are built for which no
permits are applied for, and so an exact
statement is impossible. The amount put
INTO business buildings during the year
Is more than $4,000.
The hotel capacity OF Wichita has been
treaty enlarged during this time. The
Wellington and the Orient are two new
enes that have been put up. six-story
Addition has been made to the Carey.
