the direct opposite. Homes are being
built as rapidly as at any time with
in many months past, while some of
the largest building operations ever
undertaken in Albuquerque are now
under way.
with the handsome new Staab
building on West Railroad avenu
nearing completion, with the com
mencing of stone work on the big A..
Romero building on South First street
and the building of many residences
throughout the city, there has been
5 a call for an immense lumber OF work
men, and there has been no excuse
for inactivity on the part of any ca
pable workman.
The builders grow even more OPP
timistic as the fall advances. The
latest Improvements on which WON
has begun are so substantial that the
contractors declare there is no longer
the slightest opportunity for failure.
The forces which are working for Al
buquerque are so strong that the city
cannot help but advance more rap
idly with each coming month.
j, There is still a great scarcity OF
workmen. Carpenters, bricklayers,
stonemasons, plasterers, painters and
other mechanics are needed in great
er numbers than they can be secured.
The great majority of buildings under
construction are, to a certain extent,
rush contracts, and the demand for
men is keener than it might other
wise he. The contractors are all
called upon to bring their work TO
completion with all possible haste.
The large construction operations
are being rushed along at the great
est possible speed in most cases.
