scriptioh Of such improvements would

been no time In the history OF Sal
mon when so many expensive and
modern buildings were IN contempla-
tion as there ale at present.
$50 far as ii has been possible a rep

gathered together detailed informa-
tion with view to having 1t as reli-
able and authentic as the conditions
