Like all the other towns up IN this Sec
t1on, Moosomin's growth Is only limited
by It's ability to secure labor. Carpenters,
masons, and artisans Of every kind are in
demand here, and wages are high. The
improvements that are now under way
here and that will be completed before
the end OF this year aggregate total Of
100000. These include, besides some fine
new business blocks and private resi-
dences, hotels, splendid new town and
fire hall, granolithic walks, etc. The town
is beginning to take on metropolitan airs.
