MANY NEW HOMES

buildings under construction in the Cap.

has been in the past five or six years.

financially. Dwelling houses are being
built in every part of the city, and

are fine two and three-story residences.
which will add greatly to the beauty of
our city. Englewood has built up won.
derfully in the last year, and it is only
a question of time until it will be one
of the main residence districts of the
city. Depot addition and Yew Park
are also building up very fast.

building of sidewalks throughout the
city, a number of which are cement.
Streets that have been unfit to travel
on heretofore are now being provided

the city ordinances. If the property
owners would take little pride in the
looks of the streets, and pull together,
Salem could be made. beautiful city.
