Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial., 1906-05-26

While the real estate market has
t.en comparatively quiet during the
srrrent week, there have been many
snaniries. especially on the part of
rsdnle looking for available sites for
iFo,all houses. Many people appear to
~ turning their attenlon toward the
s,burbs. with a view to owning homes
.bere. md as a result building opera
tions are in progress in nearly every
secfion of the city which can be called
ruraL and also IN country places
which are within reach of the city.
Ssvaral of the dealers report having
add building lots during the week,
cbieAy to people who expect to put up
their own houses. In fact this was
tbe only feature of the market during
tbe week. While there have been
some important deals there were no
verv large ones.
Building operations are in progress
ali over the city, and as a result nearly
Iii Of the artisans engaged in the
building trades are engaged and it has
been found necessary to get some help
from other places. Good progress is
being made on the large operations,
sncb as the du Pont Building, the
sxeleton of which now reaches the sew
entb fl lor, and the Delaware & Allan
tic Telephone Co.'S building, in which
the steel work is being put up. Delay
in the arrival of material has pre-
vented the completion of the new
pumping station at Sixteenth and Mar
ket streets, but the work is again pro-
pressing there and it Is believed it
will be in shape to receive the first
new pump when it is ready to be in
stalled.
During the week James Logue and
Louis Lichtenstein started several i'm
portant operations in different parts of
The city. Mr.. Dogue's work is princi-
pslly in Eastlake, the development Of
which has begun in earnest. Several
new houses are also being erected in
the vicinity Of Washington Heights,
whils there are new operations in the
Seventh, Eleventh and Twelfth wards.
Some houses have also been recently
built in the Second ward, chiefly in
South Wilmington, as the remainder
Of the ward is pretty we'll built up.
