In speaking of the building i'm
provements of the city the Sentinel
desires to state that the city has an
army of contractors and carpenters of
the very highest qualifications. Near
ly all the Improvement work in
the building line is done by home con-
tractors and builders. They are
strictly modern in their ideas and
work of the very finest class is turn
ed out here.
The leading contractors of the city
are as follows: John j. Lumsden. w.

William Carlyle, II. A. Matthews. w.
II. Pemberthy. S. X. Walker, Elkins
& Hutton, j. II. Rankin, who confines
his building to his own property. r.
Klien. William Fray.
Each of these firms have done eX-
tensive business during the year and
they did the great bulk of the build
ing work done in the city this year.
The many carpenters who work
with or under these contractors are
workmen of a high type.
