many Improvements Contemplated and in
Progress at Dover and Milford.

An air of prosperity pervades num-
Der of the Delaware towns, as is evil
denced by scores of new buildings now
being erected or just about completed.
Elaborate new residences are being
erected in Dover for George W. Baker
Jr., brother of Sheriff Edward Baker;
for William P. Satterfeld, a promi-
nent merchant of Loockerman Street,
and for Charles W. Postles, a we'll
known farm owner. A Queen Anne
Anne residence has been Just been
completed for Mark w. Cole, of the
Delaware Insurance Company. All of
these new buildings are situated on
North State Street. John Curry, a
negro hostler and care taker, has set
splendid example for the people of his
race by saving his money and so In
vesting it that he is now erecting a res
dence for himself and to pass down
down among the future. The Sc, 900
buildings and attractive fencing being
erected at the State College for Colored
Students are now we'll underway. J.
j. Won Reider, landscape gardener and
botanist, has purchased the whole
block at Division Street and American
Avenue and is breaking ground there
for the erection of a system of green
houses. Mr.. Won Reider already has
patrons to whom he makes regular
shipments as far west as Illinois.
At Milford, however, the building
boom is even more general in its scope.
Modern residences are being completed
or are in course of construction, or
are being planned. A residence for
Mrs. Annie P. Williams now ready for
its slate roof, is said to have a dis
tinctly modern interior, while special
interior decorations, designed by Ar
chitect G. G. Fisher, are yet to be ap-
piled. Mrs. Mary Caulk, the head of
the Caulk dental enterprises, is pre-
pairing to build her new residence on
the lake at Milford and the plans cal
for an elaboratelY picturesque villa.
Residences are being completed for
Thomas J. Salmons by William S.
Shookley & Company; for Louis B.
