The woes of the house hunter in this
|
city are to be reduced as fast as the
contractors can push work on the num-
erous buildings now under construction
and under contract later in the year.
For the past year the securing of a
piece of residence property in which to
live without an outright purchase has
been practically impossible unless a
house which had just been vacated
could be discovered, and in most cases
such property was found to be rented
in advance to a new tenant. That
caused property owners to take notice
and already this spring thirty residence
buildings are under way, with contracts
let for enough more to reach to ovel
100 for the summer with all the posi-
bilties of buildings not yet known of
and when the years work is completed
it will show larger growth in the way
of building in the city than for many
years past.
